Keith Urban Concert
What a fun weekend! I drove to Omaha for the Keith Urban concert with a friend of mine which was a very last minute surprise. We left around 3:00ish on Saturday, walked around the Old Market, had a few drinks and cheered on the Minnesota Twin's, had dinner at the Upstream, and walked over to the concert. I appoligize for the terible pictures, but they were taken on my cell phone camera. We were right next to the stage, third row so needless to say, our seats were amazing! 
Keith kept looking at me asking "Where's Kerrie?" (sorry, had to add to the delusion!) After the concert, we walked downtown and had a drink at Dublin's bar which is this Irish bar that had a two piece band. I looked like a drowned rat by the time we left because I hadn't sat still for a minute. The Old Market is a gorgeous area but the fashion - hmmm. How many guys in long sleeved blue & white shirts with Gap shorts can you see in one area? A ton apparently!!! Anyway, we got home LATE and I slept most of the Sunday away.
I'm in a blogging template funk right now - sort of feels like I'm a bit schizo. I haven't been posting much lately because this week = finals week! Yuck yuck yuck!

Joe Mauer - homerun hottie
Just in case you missed the Twin's game on Saturday, I thought I would post Joe Mauer's IN THE PARK homerun!!! WOWZA - that almost never happens!! I just stood up to run to the bathroom when I heard the bat crack. I stopped in my tracks and turned around to see the ball going, going, going...nope not gone but Joe was!!! The crowd went nuts - high fives all around. The picture from LAA wouldn't even pitch to the next batter until Joe Mauer waved his had to the crowd. Everyone was one their feet. Way to go Joe!
We had a wonderful weekend in the cites this past weekend. I am so fortunate to have an amazing family. I didn't get to see everyone, but it wasn't because I didn't want to or I don't miss them terribly. It's just that my aunt JoEllen is a better cook. HA - I'm just kidding.

We had brunch with uncle Terry on Sunday at Al Baker's in Eagan before the musical. It was so nice to see him and meet the newest member of the family - Finnegan the shizapoo. Sorry, but no pictures of Finnegan, Terry or the play since I forgot batteries for my camera. High School Musical was wonderful though. We had excellent seats and Alex got to get up and dance with the cast and snatch a balloon that "Troy Bolton" threw into the audience. I can't believe the marketing and memorabilia that goes along with these plays now! Action figures, board games, sweat bands and uno cards. Yes, I'm guilty of buying the Uno card game for Alex but oh well.

GO TWINS!
The picture next to this post really has nothing to do with anything related to this post but it cracks me up! It was taken at the Winstock Festival - I think I do the sunglasses justice don't you agree?
We have a busy weekend ahead of us. We're leaving for the twin cities tonight to visit family and friends and we have tickets to the Twin's game tomorrow night against LAA. Where are my Twins though?? We're 9 games back now - yikes. I must be out of my mind, but I actually decided to take Alex to High School Musical on Sunday at the Children's Theater in Minneapolis as well. I'm not insinuating that there's anything wrong with High School Musical but I had to decided between Les Miserables (my all time FAVORITE play) at Chanhassen or High School Musical and I picked High School Musical. I'll let you know how sitting in a theater with thousands of pre-teens who know the words to every song in the production goes. It will probably be like a Justin Timberlake concert only these artist have talent. Ouch - that was mean.
So anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and I'm sure I'll have pictures to post on Monday!

We DON'T ID
My girlfriend Stacey and I went out to Hot Harley Nights on Saturday night. I was exhausted from being at our company picnic for seven hours but thought, what the heck. I suck it up, slip into my jeans, find my most flattering top and head out on the town. We arrive downtown and it's packed! After being at the picnic for an entire day, I told my partner in crime that I needed a beer. We waltz over to the beer stand, I dig for my identification that proves I am old enough to have a beer and the "ID guy" looks at me and says don't worry about it, we only card people 30 and under!
Ouch....and I didn't even bring my cane that night. First of all, I'm not even 30 yet! Secondly, I assume that with these events, those people who are in charge of checking identifications are always a bit conservative so if he was sure that I wasn't under 30, exactly how old did he think I looked? Needless to say, he didn't see any tips from me that night. I'll leave that to the under 30 crowd.
