The Rubiks Cube Champion of the World

On my bus ride home today, there was this kid with a rubiks cube. He messed it up and solved it 20 times on the 40 minute ride home. It was so stressful for him that he had to shake his hands out between rounds. Then he would look around to see who was watching him. He was soooo good that he even had time to make a couple of phone calls on the way. I can't solve one puzzle in 40 minutes, let alone 20! It was everything I had not to laugh.

Carolyn <-- 0 tolerance for slow drivers. If you have someplace to be, get there. If you don't have any place to be, what are you doing driving?
Really? Summer gas costs $0.50 more than spring gas? That's what I thought.
Kate from Jon & Kate +8 is a money whore. If you are having issues with your husband, who tells the whole world via People Magazine? If you read the People article, you will see she only cares about money because "if they break up she has to have money to take care of her kids." BS, you're a money whore and from what I see of you on camera, you don't really care about your kids. That's why they are always running around the house by themselves.
It's a holiday weekend, do we really have to work tomorrow?

He kept going through the crowd and was right at the end of our row!
I love this one.
He went to the back of the arena to sing a few songs so they would have good seats too! How sweet.Keith Urban/Chicago Part II

Hi, as promised, here are more pics and a play by play of my weekend. I know you are all dying to know the play by play!
Thursday night I flew to Chicago and had dinner with Stacie at Silver Cloud, we played trivia that they have every Thursday night and discovered some really great drinks, a Bacon Martini and a Purple Rain. Check it out if you are ever in Chicago.
Friday we slept until noon. Since it was raining, we couldn't go to the Cubs game :( Around 2 we started to get ready for the concert and rode the bus downtown to meet Nikki. Then we drove to Allstate Arena to meet Keith!!!!!!!!!! We went to the Backstage BBQ and took a pic with him, prior to which he HUGGED ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, hugged me. I tried to slip him my phone number, but was a little speechless at the time. Then he sings everyone a song (Jeans On) then he answered some questions and we all ran to the arena to see the "real" show. Zac Brown Band was just finishing up, we saw our favorite song, Chicken Fried and then we waited for Keith. The show was awesome! Best I have ever been too. He's such a good guitar player and soooooooooo hot. Can't wait to see him the next time he is in town.
After the show, we went back to a bar by Stac & Nik's house called Tuman's. (If you are ever in Chicago, go there) We danced, it was fun until some guy jizzed in his pants while dancing with Stacie. (If you don't get it, click here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pXfHLUlZf4&feature=channel_page ) Then we met some local Chicago rugby guys and high tailed it home so we could get away from Stacie's baby's daddy.
Saturday, we woke up at 1, made some Swedish Pancakes for breakfast and watched some tv. Again, we got ready to go out and went to dinner at this really good mexican place that I can't remember the name of. If I could remember the name, I would tell you to go there too if you are ever in Chicago. Then we went to a couple of bars and headed home.
Sunday we got up early (10:30 is early when you stay up until 3:30) to go to breakfast at Hot Chocolate. (Again, go there if you are in Chicago, super good) Then we went to Sephora and back to Wicker Park for some drinks. Then we went home and finished Grey's ( I can't believe I have to wait until September to find out what happens) and to People Lounge to meet a friend of Nikki's who DJ's there. Then we went to dinner at an Italian place, again, I don't remember the name but it was really good. Then we went home and watched more tv and had ice cream sundaes.
Now, here is the real excitement ;) Monday we were woken up to pounding, drilling and sawing as they replaced the deck attached to my sisters apartment. Stacie & Nikki worked and I chilled on the couch. Stac took me for a burger at Kuma's Corner, if you are in Chicago go there, FOR REAL. Best burger you will ever eat. Even better than a Jucy Lucy. So, it's like 3:30 and my flight is at 4:50. We kind of get lost and I get dropped off at the airport at 4:25!!!!!!!!!!! I get through security and it's 4:33. I have no idea which gate my flight is at because Southwest doesn't print them on the tickets. So I go to concourse B because that is where my Southwest flights were the last three times I flew, but I still don't know what gate. I see two of those screens with the flights on them and my flight isn't on either of them! Just my luck. So I'm walking through the airport trying to find where my flight is thinking I'm screwed. I'm now to about gate 11 and still don't see my flight. THEN FINALLY it's on the board and I looke and people are lined up to board. If you have flown Southwest before, you know there aren't any assigned seats. You board as group A, B, and C. I was group A and they had just lined up group B when I found it. So at 4:43 I was in line to board the plane, calling Stacie, very winded, to tell her I made it and she could go home. So that pretty much concludes my trip, glad I can say we kept it (very) exciting right up until the end :)
I think this person was at the wrong concert. They left after like song two, weird.

...So on Wednesday, we went on a local bus tour of Seattle. We were the only ones on the bus which was pretty nice. We learned a lot about the city and also got to take some great photos. We then walked around by the space needle, but decided we wouldn't be able to see "the mountain" (Mt. Rainer) and that we should come back the next day. So we went to the sculpture garden instead, very similar to the one in Minneapolis. On Wednesday night we were able to eat dinner with Stacie at Wasabi, a sushi restaurant.
On Thursday, we went to the space needle and the experience music project. The EMP was very cool, almost as cool as the outside of the building. Unfortunatly, I don't know that my photos captured just how cool it was. When we were walking back to the hotel we stumbled upon a glass blowing studio and go to see the blowers in action. I had also seen that in Italy, but it's very cool. I recommend that to everyone. Then we went to dinner at Dinette which we saw on the Food Network with Rachel Ray.
Friday, we took Stacie to the Pike Place Market and got some mini donuts for breakfast that we had found a couple days prior. Then we walked down to Pioneer Square so we could go on the Underground Tour. (History lesson) When Seattle was first built, it would flood twice a day due to the tides. In the late 1800's downtown Seattle burned to the ground. When they rebuilt, they filled in the existing streets with concrete to raise them up and under the sidewalks is hollow. There are 30 original buildings or partial buildings and you can take an Underground Tour to see them and learn about what happened. It was pretty cool. After that, we went back down by the Pike Place Market and had some drinks outside on a patio. Then we went to dinner and slept for an early morning.
Saturday, we met a friend for breakfast before flying back home. If anyone wants to know all of my useless Seattle trivia, let me know, I'll be happy to divulge.
