Just the facts...

I said I would get back to "real" blogging so here you go. Last week was a good week. The things at work that were not so good have gotten better. Relief. I can't even remember all that I did last week, but i was fairly busy. The interesting part starts Friday when I was invited out by some cool teachers at my school. I guess they think I'm a swell girl so my presence at their happy hour was crucial. Special. I can't write about it because:

A) I work with these people

B) I work with these people

Let's just say it was all very interesting, fun, but very interesting. I like them.

Saturday I went with Kelly to visit Auntie Lori. We also went to an art fair where I bought this bowl, made by Kelly's BFF Sarah's sister Emily. Did that make sense?

And then Lori bought me this rad round red bracelet.

Then I got this henna art on my hand.

No wonder the cool teachers want me around.

I finally got to meet Coach, Lori's wonder dog, but I prefer to call him Craig T. Nelson. Get it?

If all that wasn't fun enough Lori took us out for Mexican and tequila and drank us under the table.

Lori, pain free and livin' large. PTL!

I also went to a girl's party of some of Kelly's high school\college friends and guess who surprised us, Heather of the EO!!! Now this is a little known fact I discovered about Heather and I. When little kids are naughty and say inappropriate things like "I drink poop", instead of keeping a strait face and being mature we bust up laughing. Well when its not your child, sorry... it's funny.

It was a fantabulous weekend. That is a real word, fantabulous. I was told recently by someone. But I can't say who.

Overheard:

Lori: I think I'm going to grow my hair out.

Kelly: But you told me to never let you do that.

Lori: Well I just want to grow out the back.

Kelly: And?

Lori: You know and have it flip out.

Kelly: Do you know what that is called?

Lori: No, what?

Kelly: It's called a Mullet.

Love. My. Family.

Time to go read some Sci-Fi, in my hammock, all the while pretending my yard doesn't need to be mowed and that those glares I'm getting from my neighbors are really love stares.

Some crazy for a Saturday....

I like Santogold. I like this song, L.E.S Artistes. This video blows my mind.

On the road again....

I will be taking a lil' road trip with my cuz cuz K this weekend. Off to the wild wild west, sans Will Smith. I will be back Monday with results from the Twin's Stadium Name-Off. According to the Mystery Judge as of right now he is kinda digging The Mary Kate and Ashley Olson Stadium (Go Ellen!)... but he has yet to see the final list of names. There could yet still be an upset.
See youz allz on Monday.

********Still time to guess********

Pick a new Twin's Stadium name (see previous post) and win a $5 Caribou Gift Card.
Contest closes Friday, September 19th at 11:57pm
*****There will be a mystery guest judge. Aren't you dying to know who!********

Don't Call it a Comeback...

I been here for years... Does anyone know that tune? So I'm back and ready to get my blog on.
K & K and I have been emailing back n' forth new names for the Twin's Stadium. I believe it will be called Target Field or something lame like that once it is finished...
These are a few that we came up with... So far Kelly is in the lead with the best name:
Paul Bunyan Ball Park!
These are a few other ones we came up with:
Spam Stadium
Dayton's Dome (ok that is what i would've named the current dome)
3M Field
General Mills Park
Ballpark of America
Nut Goody Park
Jenne-O Field (you lose we let Turkeys out in your dugout -KAV)
Getdney Pickle Park

If you can come up with a better name then Kelly's Paul Bunyan Ball Park you will win a prize...
Play Ball!

Operation Baking GALS Round 3

Welcome to Round 3 of Operation Baking GALS! I am going to be one of many hosts for this round. So welcome to Team Superfluous! I am so excited to be hosting this round. It was great to be a part of the last round and now here we are again.

I don't know a whole lot about this soldier, but does that really matter, let's send out some love anyway! What i have been told by Ms. Susan our fearless leader is, "SFC Israel Reichard is a good guy and he LOVES the Snickerdoodles you ladies mailed last time. If you can put something together (specifically Snickerdoodles) and mail to him, I know it would be a huge morale booster. He's an 'adopted' West Virginian from my cousin Jason's last deployment. He's a great guy with no real family back in the states. If you ladies could send him some love, I know he'd forever grateful."

So how about it? Let's team up and make this soldier's day! Email me at sabrinarobideau (at) hotmail (dot) com if you want to join the team or if you have any questions. I will send you the information you need, including the address of our soldier. Please add your name, your website (if you have one) and the URL so I can post it on my blog. You can send out your treats anytime between September 27 - October 6. You can get more info here to help you out.

Last round I made some swell Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies from a Dorie Greenspan recipe, and I think I might be using more of her infamous recipes... This is going to be fun!!!!

A Breather...

I realize that my blog has been a little lack-lustre lately. Boring, snore, snooze, lame, blah, puke... what other descriptions have been popping up in your head lately. Yes, i can hear the snickering, the confusion, the yawns... "but usually she is so funny nori, i just don't get it..."
I know, I know. It's not like i have not had anything to say, oh i have. I wish I could write about the drama at my work, but in order to protect my hienie, i cant say anything. Tomorrow is a new day, this weekend I am going to put my job behind me and do fun little things that make me smile.
But don't give up on Superfluous just yet... she just needs a breather.

I did make kitchen curtains though, and chocolate angel pie for my mom. Being domestic makes me feel happy. Happiness is nice.
