Bill Murray To-Go-Boxes

So I'm watching Wheel of Fortune right now and I'd like to solve the puzzle: "Original Motion Picture Soundtrack". Cue the music and tell Pat to come stand by me.

It's been awhile and so here's what I know:

1. I am 100% over the construction on highway 36. Fuck that.

2. Tom Petty was at the Target Center last night and he rocked my socks off. He was indeed raised on promises...promises of an amazing show! Worth every cent! Now if I could just get to Texas at the end of August to see him play at The Woodlands Pavilion!

3. For some reason I know that Billy Bob Thorton's band will be playing at the Minnesota zoo on August 28th or 29th. I want to go just to see him in real life.

4. Speaking of real life, guess who came into work on Monday?! Fucking Bill Murray! Are you kidding me? No. I am for realz.

5. I have laundry sitting in the washer and it is not my turn to put it in the dryer. This will result in having to wash the same load yet again in hope that it gets further down the process by sometime on Sunday.

6. Decided to jump on the Stephanie Meyer wagon and cannot stop reading the Twilight series. I am on book 3 after 7 days of reading.

7. Super Jackpot Party is simply the greatest slot machine ever created! Megs and I won last Saturday and I cannot stop giggling when I think about it.

8. The answer to the Toss Up Puzzle is "Instant Oatmeal".

9. Lumberjack Days really kick off tomorrow with Soul Asylum and the Bodeans. I suppose all the people in my yard are going to be expecting me to play Flip Cup. Damn it!

10. I decided last night after dinner that somewhere in the world, there has to be a ring of thieves who go around the country stealing dishes and silverware by distracting the waitress and stashing the goods in to-go-boxes. Seriously, what a great scam?

That is all.

Lions and Tigers and Heavy Machinery, Oh My!



Been to the top of the Eiffel Tower. Check.
Flown in an airplane. Check.
Changed the price on something at a garage sale. Check.
Drove a trackhoe and knocked down a house. Check!

That's right. Two weeks ago, I was in the driver's seat with my very own shot at driving a trackhoe. God knows how many ton of steel underneath me and the controls in my hands! My brother coached me through the levers, which one scoops the bucket, which one makes the crane sway from side to side, etc. We were tearing down his old house and let me tell you, it was the fucking beans!

I believe I just added "Operating Heavy Equipment" to my resume! Woot!

P.S. I drove a trackhoe, not to be confused with a backhoe, as a backhoe has tires and a trackhoe operates on tracks. Fun fact, I know.

Dear Mother Nature,

What's up with the clouds? Are you mad at us? Or are you just on the rag?
Take a midol and gimme some blue sky, I wanna sit in my lawn chair!

Ugh,
