Life is full of fun experiences. Here is a funny one of mine. A friend recently bought a house, and she has always liked gnomes. In Utah, gnomes are not easily found but in Wisconsin, they are easily found. I, being the nice friend that I am, have been looking for gnomes for said friend this summer. Last week, I found a plethora (I love the word plethora and wish I could use it in each and every blog post, btw!) of gnomes at Jo Ann Fabric, of all places. So, that part of the story is pretty boring. The funny part of the story is that I bought five gnomes and as I was walking up to the checkout, I looked down and remembered I was wearing my gnome shirt that reads: "Chillin' with my gnomies." Now, if that doesn't make me a total geek, I do not know what does.
I had a very fun Tuesday and Wednesday. I played softball last night and won 5-1. Good times. I then went over to my friend, Marla's. (She is fabulous and if you don't know her, you should!) We watched Batman Begins because it was pretty fuzzy in my memory and Marla had not seen it. Okay, true confession(do not tell anybody, well I guess you can, because I am posting about it.): I actually slept through the first Batman movie. It was probably on some Friday night during the school year and I was tired! Okay, funnier true confession: I also slept through the 2nd third and 3rd third portions of The Dark Knight last Thursday. Leave me alone! It is a dark movie(and not just because of the Knight!) and it was bloody hot in the theater. And it was also after midnight and the movie is freakin' three hours long. It is not my fault. Anyway, today we went to see the movie for my second time and Marla's first time. It was awesome. Heath Ledger does an amazing job as The Joker. In fact, I caught myself laughing at him a lot as he was doing very violent things. WEIRD! I give both these movies five stars. You should see them. Just remember to take a nap before watching and you should be alright!
Well, sleep awaits. So does an hour bike ride in the morning. I am lacking motivation these days. I think it is the I-Fries!
P.S. The picture of "Polish" is a bobble head Marla got at a Brewer's game. I am sure you have all heard of the sausage races held at each home Brewer baseball game(for those of you again who don't know sports or their teams!:). Indeed, Wisconsinites are more interested in getting bobble heads of food rather than real players. I never said we were normal!
