Two words I realize I say incorrectly, but do nothing to correct them:
TENNA SHOES-- Tennis shoes. I guess the "S" at the end of tennis gets lost in the mix? And I use this term for all athletic shoes. I don't think I own an actual pair of tennis shoes, but b-ball shoes, running shoes...
McMINIMUM'S-- McMenamin's. A local family chain of cool restaurants, movie theaters, and bars. We actually know the McMenamins, but I always say it wrong, and Houston has called me on in, multiple times.
So I went to QFC, a grocery store, around midnight and bought a) a 12-pack of Pop-tarts and b) a 20-oz Vanilla Coke, the Coke to drink now and the 'tarts for breakfast in the car early in the morning. The check out girl Jacqui, a blonde ditz, asks if I found everything okay, I say "yep, just the essentials." And then she scans the 'tarts and says in a loud, disgusted valley voice, "Ooo gross, Pop-Tarts are soooo disgusting." What? Since when are the grocery checkers told to give positive and negative feedback about customer purchases? It just ticked me off. I am thinking of saying something to the manager.
Lastly, OSU might not have a winning football program this year, but they finally have a real football stadium. And not one made of metal bleachers! Not saying I jumped ship, I'm a duck goddamnit. But Reser Stadium finally looks good. Luxury suites, two levels of seating, and the student section running the entire length of the field.
...okay and I know that unimployed people don't really have weekends, let alone three-day weekends, but this one felt like a four-day weekend.

Hey....mine actually felt like a 4 day weekend to. Well, even a 5 day weekend, since I hit up SEA on Wednesday. I even went to a McMinnemums. As for Oregon Agricultural College's new stadium, the new side just makes the rest of the structure even more pathetic looking. (Sorry--I've got full-fledged Duck fever. Screw the Beeevs, and especially the Huskies!!)
As for running commentary, I would've said something about her dumb ditzyness.
4 day weekends rule.
Matt, ever been out to Edgefield's in Troutdale? BEST...McM's...EVER.
Do I sense a little Beaver spirit in you matt??? I think so.. GO BEAVS!!!!
