My sister, Paula, and I are seven years apart in age. I used to be able to get by having people think I was the younger sister, until one sales clerk thought I was her mother!!! I no longer ask random people to guess which one of us is younger!!!
Anyway, my sister keeps me laughing. Her life is always an adventure and her commentary makes it even more humerous--even when circumstances are not so funny. So in honor of the 4th of July, here is a peek into Paula's World. Enjoy!
Twins Game
Tim, Rahn and I went to the Twins game last night against the Rays. Twins won 2-1. Great game!
It was a beautiful night and they did fireworks afterward. I have decided fireworks have to have music with them. That was fun to watch and listen to the music. Fireworks alone doesn't do it for me.
Rahn, Tim and I all signed up to be designated drivers so we got 12 dollars worth of free pop. Each glass is 4 dollars. .... 4x 3=12. Gosh I am good! We told Tim to go sign up...he gave us a look like ...you guys gonna get loaded? and I'm going to have to drive out of the cities? Then he realized we were just pulling a basic scam.. Proud moment.
At the game, Andrew was listening in on a conversation of a couple of men behind him. One of them was thinking out loud about what a certain number with a banner was for. Andrew turned around and looked at him like he was in total disbelief and the guy must be a complete idiot. (I have no idea where he gets that). He says "That is Jackie Robinson's number." The guy said "oh. " Then said," I guess I just got dissed by a teenager. "
The night ended great. We walked back to our car which wasn't too far but way too many turns for me to remember. We get up to the car and I see Andrew with a look of complete fear and maybe the pre- barf look. And he says," I forgot my glove" I calmly looked at Rahn (seriously I was playing the mature parent role...not the "are you a complete moron" role I find so easy to go to) and said you have to go back and see if you can get Andrew 's glove. They high tailed it back. Andrew came back in tears. It was no longer there.
They said to call tomorrow and they would check lost and found. I told Andrew that I 'll ask if Joe Mauer can bring it to Windom for us. Or I will send a letter to each player and tell them the sad little story of Andrew and how he lost his glove and could they all sign it and send him a new one? That did bring a chuckle.
Of course this glove he lost is very expensive because we were investing in Anddew's future and he only deserves the best. Puke. Next glove he gets if this one is lost, is a damn Charlie Brown glove. You know the kind.... no pocket. Just leather. You got to be a real player to catch a damn ball in that kind of a glove.
Anyway we made it home at 2:00 in the morning. I slept till 10:30. Ahhh life is good.
Happy 4th people.

Okay, what 5 people will look at this blog? We need to put both of our blogs on the web and see who gets more comments. Won't we be depressed when we don't get any there either? Yes we live in our own little world of humor.
Have a good day.
Paula
It would be most depressing for you if the world ignored your blog and I became a new superstar--known world wide for my ability to keep people entertained.
I can see it now.......
Jetsetting with the pretty people....
Talking with Ellen and Oprah....
Owning houses in exotic locations.....
Paula, you OBVIOUSLY live in the now, whereas Sue lives in fantasy!!
I personally enjoy the blog, as I have no life and am very happy to live thru others via the computer.
Until the blog is killed, I will remain faithful!
I am off to purchase fanny pack size Depends to give to Sue as I can see she will have a true need sooner than I had anticipated! (You know, like when she answers the phone and it is Oprah calling??! snicker, snicker.....
