The Rosie Show

The Rosie Show was a BLAST! I got to attend the show for the first time last night. The show had Sara Remirez and Common as the 2 main guests. Also with a huge side of comedy. We started the adventure waiting in line around 4. After getting checked in we were sent upstairs and greeted with a special surprise. Sprinkles Cupcake! They are some of the best cupcakes that you can find anywhere! I had a Chocolate one with Vanilla icing and Chocolate sprinkles. As we were waiting the excitement was in the air everyone was excited to see what Rosie was going to do tonight. There were a lot of fans of Oprah that never got to see the show and also people who were really there to see Rosie. As a resident of Chicago I was able to attend a few of the Oprah show taping and this was nothing like those. It was BETTER. Don’t get me wrong I love Oprah but there was an excitement in the air that you just can’t describe with words. After be called down the the Studio to get our seats we noticed something blue under our seats with a ribbon tied around it …. Yes living up to the hype we all had a Snuggie under our seats that we had to put on for the opening scene of the show. All in all it was a fun time! The bonus at the end was as we were leaving we got another Cupcake from Sprinkles to take home!

Thanks Rosie and your team for such a great day!

Middle of NOWHERE

(On my way)

(I had to stop and get some road snacks too! And I took a chance on a lottery ticket! I only won $1.)

So it might not have been the exact middle of nowhere but it felt like it to me. And might I add it was FUNNNNN. I decided to take a drive today, left my house and started West on IL-52. For those of you that don’t know I live in Joliet, IL a large suburb of Chicago, IL. Its a pretty large city but sometimes it feels like there is nothing to do. We are having a HUGE heat wave so the only things to do today these days are either beg, borrow or steal someones pool. I decided to take my car with the AC blasting and go on an adventure to see what was out there. Well I am happy to report I found where they are hiding all of the corn … and LOTS of it!

There was also an interesting plane that was flying quite low across all the fields.

So by this point you can tell the heat has gotten to me but it was a fun little day trip and I got to see some pretty cool farms. Until next time!

What a LONG time!!

I didn’t forget about you guys …  I just got caught up in that thing I call LIFE …. has been crazy! Everything from more Baseball games… Chicago Cubs vs. Chicago White Sox. A huge cross town rivalry to going all the way to St. Louis for a Chicago Cubs vs. St. Louis Cardinals game. Its better to just show my last few weeks in pictures! And all the fun I have been having!

Well first we got a new puppy… YES she is a puppy only 8 months old. I know what you are thinking how on earth can she be so big and still be a puppy… Well she is a Irish Wolfhound and they are average 150 lb. She maybe big but I still love her!

Then I got my butt kicked in darts. Yes Brent apparently knows his way around a dart board better than I do! But it was fun and I got named the best wingman an guy can have!

And now its on to Cubs vs. Sox! We were sitting 3rd row of the bleachers! And the only place the Cubs hit a home run that day! I saw myself later that night on the SportsCenter highlights and I was in the DUCK AND COVER position!

Frank and I hanging out after the game at the Dolphin Dugout!

This would be my current fashion accessory that I get to sport for the next few weeks! Yeah that one is a long story but aren’t they all? No heels for me for awhile!

Last but not least this was after we discovered the Land Shark booth at the Taste of Joliet! We also go to see the 80’s band Loverboy!

Thanks,
