The results are in!!!!!

Mystery Judge finally gave me the results to the Twins Stadium Name-Off Contest. MJ had some help from a bunch of 7th graders, who I believe were told that they were actually naming the new Twins Stadium, or something like that. Hope they are not too disappointed when they realize that the name will still be boring Target Field. Mystery Judge had the final say and came up with my personal favorite too. Here are the 3 runners up:


In 3rd place is Circle Me Bert Ballpark submitted by sensible of shoe


In 2nd place is Mosquito Heaven submitted by the three 22nds


and the runner up is: You Betcha Field again submitted by sensible of shoe


The grand prize winner of the Twins Stadium Name-Off is:


We-Should-Just-Puckett-and-Get-Some-Beers Park*

Congratulations Elle-Beau
*and no MJ did not let the 7th graders vote on this name. I can only imagine the fun they would have with that one. and then the parent phone calls. not fun.

Ellen is a very deserving winner. love it!

When Chino Latino had a billboard near an elementary school that said something like "Aw, Phuket, Let's get take-out!" kids went home and said that to their parents. The owner got phone calls from parents and the principal, but he laughed all the way to the bank. Nothing wrong with a geography lesson.

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
