Labor Day weekend, I was twenty three

You and I have a lot to catch up on.

Since we've last talked, I've mastered using my phone and draining the battery trying to look at YouTube vids on it. I typically try to limit myself to doing this while driving, running, and at work, but let's be honest..I'm lying. I can barely get the thing to text and although things were pretty hot and heavy with the two of us for awhile, as of yesterday I have allowed the novelty to wear off and I am back to leaving it on silent, in my purse, in my desk and/or bedroom. Hope you enjoyed that week of being able to reach me whenever, wherever, Shakira.

I also was the proud owner of a 2 day long State Fair induced stomach ache. Mistake #1: Dairy building. Mistake #2: I ate these:

Funnel Cake Fries with chocolate to dip them in. Typically, fried food is not a question OR answer for me. I have little to no desire for it aside from the occassional chicken finger. But for some reason, these puppies were calling my name and let me just tell you.......they were ok. Nothing to write home about. But apparently they were something worth blogging about and taking a picture of. So was this:

Then I went to Brit's Pub and on my way in, found out Ben Folds will be at Orchestra Hall on Halloween. There is no better way to spend a holiday with Ben Folds. One time I spent the Cinco de Julio with him when he opened for John Mayer in MKE. (airport code for milwaukee. just learned that.) I also found out that you do not draft punters in Fantasy Football. I had my heart set on Chris "Warcraft" Kluwe based solely on his ability to pwn n00bs in WOW and Guitar Hero. Guess I'll settle for "who'sthemanzadah" to take me and the Hoedown Throwdowns to the 'ship...more on this in a sec.. but first..i must stick to chronological order of my weekend.

Labor Day weekend, I was twenty three. Bought a coke and some gasoline....uh...and made my pilgramage to the almighty Camp Randall. I knew I was in the right place because all I could smell were brats and beer. And then I knew I was going the right way because I experienced the holier than holy parting of the Red Sea. Wisconsin really knows how to give the Regal the royal treatment. Anyway, here's what I have to say about it: real college football is a lot bigger deal than you think. I blame MN and I blame private schools and I blame VH1 and Bravo marathons on Saturdays for not filling me in on this sooner. I had no idea.

Then we went to the Brewers game and saw a stinkin sweet triple play happen with my very own eyes. I missed the bowing down to the Prince part at the end though because apparently we had to 'beat traffic.' The good news is we beat traffic.

I capped off my weekend with drafting the best fantasy football team I've EVER drafted. Seriously. EVER. And yes, I got Housmendzadeh and Gojalewski and Roethelisberger (accident) and basically everyone with a dumb last name. I'm not sure of the correct spelling of those names but the point is...I'm looking to trade them all in for some Petersons and Johnsons if anyone's interested.

All in all, you really missed out.
