This weekend was quite the time, as usual. Lots of crazy stories and fun times were had, but I’ll spare from incriminating myself this time. Friday after work, Lauren and I stopped at the Poulters and had a friendly chat and dropped off some free/cheap groceries Lauren picked up from work. Afterwards, we joined the gang at the Hopkins Tavern for Amanda H’s birthday. Lauren insisted on playing the pulltabs and gave me $5 to go pick a winner. I picked a barrel and told the lady to dig deep for a good ticket, and wouldn’t you know it, we won $102 on the first ticket I opened! We split the profits and got out of there relatively early.

Saturday we were greeted by Walsh and Sarah’s visit to Minneapolis. We hit up a variety of Uptown watering holes, including Zeno, Williams, and the VFW. Yada yada yada, I was really tired Sunday morning!

Target Field looks much more official with that giant Twins logo up!

Sunday, Lauren cooked us all a delicious breakfast before Walshichetti departed.  In the afternoon, I went for a 5.5 mile walk to get some fresh air and check out the Twins’ new stadium.  It seems like the project is coming along very nicely, and now that the huge Twins logo has been installed, it all seems a lot more real.  Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get very close due to construction equipment, but I got a good enough view.

The rest of the afternoon was spent napping and watching The Wire, season 5.  I am not quite ready to proclaim it the best show ever, but it’s definitely up there, probably top five now.  I think I still like Dexter better.

Monday at work I kept plugging away on writing product copy for this new company, which has been rumored to officially launch a week from today.  I can’t imagine why it would be a bad thing for me to give more details and create some buzz, but I’m sure it would get me in trouble somehow, so I’ll shut up until it’s really live.  I will say that I have now written original descriptions for almost 200 products.

Tomorrow I am going back to the Profile to meet with potential DJ clients, including one couple whose wedding is over 11 months away.  Better early than late, I suppose.  Saturday is the big day with my 8am-2am DJ gig.  It will be tiring, no doubt, but an excellent pay day.  All money will be put into the wedding savings account.
