TWINS Game, another LOSS

I have been to two Twins Games at the Dome and they lost both times. We played the White Sox and they won the two games before and lost last night 3-8. There were over 40,000 people there and the dollar dogs ran out before the 2nd inning. I only got one. Bummer.
Here are some photos of the game guests.

Wayne got all the tickets and then a parking pass at a friends business across the street from the dome. When we got there the parking lot was full and most did not have parking passes so we parked in the lane and blocked many in. Only one guys was still blocked when we got back to the car, he did not have a pass.

Boys and Girls

Dawn was complaining about the notes to Caleb from girls and now I am complaining about the girls calling asking Gunnar out. Most calls go to his cell phone, but some come to the house. He was very diplomatic saying "no" with all of us in the room, if it had been on the cell who knows. I just told him to say he had a good year before he could date, He just said he was busy. Well he did say they could hang out sometime this summer, so I come downstairs and there she is on the couch. Cute little 15 year old girl playing the Wii with Gunnar, and the best little tattletalers ever, Ezekiel and JT. I think it is safe to go to my appointment with Edward Jones. Well gunnar is fast becoming a cutie. Scary Scary kids do grow up.

Arm issues

I have been having an intense itch on the front of my arms and hands. I called the nurse help line and they said to talk to the Dr., especially since I have no signs of a rash or skin irritation. Well the Dr. said to try this cream for arthritis. It heats up and feels really warm. This is to help with the nerve damage, they think I might have from sun damage to my arms over the years. My arms show no signs of rash or irritation. In fact they look great.

This cream is funny, or at least it is when I am not touching my eyes, ears or others. If I touch my eyes then they burn, same with anything I touch. JT and I were reading today and he said "Ouch my eye and mouth burn". I realized he was holding on to my arms and had touched his eye and his mouth. This is not the cream for the faint at heart.

If you get your skin wet where the cream is, it then burns really hot. You cannot wash this stuff off after it has been on a 1/2 hour. When I wash my hands I feel they are on fire a few minutes later. It does not show anything when it burns, it just burns. It is strange to lay in bed at night and think that at any minute your arms are going to spontaneously combust. The itching is better, but still annoys me at times and especially at night. By the way, if I do scratch it just gets worse, so no touchy and that is sosososo hard to do.

Summerset 110 Degrees in the Shade

Steven, Gunnar and Mark White Jr., were in the production of 110 Degrees in the Shade. Steven played Starbuck, the fast talking con man who claims he can make it rain for a mere 100 dollars. Mark plays Noah, the older brother of Lizzy who is a pessimist. He plays angry really well. Gunnar plays Freddie, a chorus member with a few lines. Gunnar did very well, much less stiff then usual. Steven showed him what to do and then bribed him with money every time his arms went above his shoulders. We counted opening night, he did it 7 times and then 11 times the next night.
Steven was amazing and lit up the stage. He did collapsed after singing Melisand during rehearsals from exhaustion and one of the other cast members said, "He never did that when he played Lancelot." Steven needed to remind him that Camelot was 16 years, five kids, marriage, mission, college and a few pounds ago.

Track Meet

Well the last track meet of the year was a big success. Everyone went home with many ribbons, Ezekiel and Qatar placed in the throw and long jump. Go do your personal best. Qatar only did the throw and long jump, he helped keep track of everyones scores with Sister Asay.

Relay for Life

The meeting to count the money for the team was last night. The team raised almost $5,000. WOW. David joined the team and will walk his laps in the middle of the night. I was surprised when he joined he does not like to ask people for money for any reason. But, with a little help from me, he raised $295. Yea!! Go Team lets raise money so they can find a cure.

Our Saturday

Qatar went camping in our Scout Master's backyard last night and when asked how it went, Qatar said, "Boring". Really a back yard camping trip Boring. Shocked. He is really tired and it is very humid, both lend to a grumpy boy.
Zeke, Cenny and JT went with Bonnie, Eric, Vanessa, and kids to the park and then to Culvers for lunch and custard. They used their free coupons from the 4th firework raffle. Well, free is relative, free custard with other purchase. Thanks Guys!
Gunnar had play practice then mowed the lawn. He kept singing a song from the play he is in and it sounded good.
David worked in the bedroom we are working on at this point. David also put my bike basket on so I can haul towels easier from lessons and such.
I just cleaned and yelled at the kids to do their chores. I did, however, find the time to figure out our net worth. Eric and I were discussing this at swimming lessons the other day, he mentioned a co-worker who figures his net worth every month to see if he is hitting his financial goals. The "Millionaire Next Door" has a formula, income times age divide by 10. Just interesting with how much talk their is about the maybe recession. This link will tell you were you are in relationship to medians for your age and income. Interesting.
