Freaky weekend
So, lots of interesting things happened this weekend:
The Nebraska Huskers won their sixth game of the season, making them bowl-eligible. If we win out the season, and win our bowl game, we're going to turn in a pretty respectable year after all. It's always refreshing when you realize not all hope is lost.
I went to a bar in Cleveland with a mechanical bull and didn't completely hate it.
It didn't actually snow, even though it was maybe kinda supposed to.
I attended a black tie fundraiser on Saturday that raised money for the Girl Scouts of Northeast Ohio. The best part? The theme of the night was "Dessert First." Fifteen Cleveland-area chefs made gourmet desserts out of, you guessed it, Girl Scout cookies. Each restaurant had a table set up, and everyone got to go around and sample as much as they wanted!! Before dinner!! Best. Idea. Ever. I gotta say that my favorites came down to a three-way tie between the Do-Si-Dos & Bacon Buckeyes from Lola, Samoan Stuffed Peaches w/ Coconut Rum Sauce from The Olde Harbor Inn, and Fall Peanut Butter Genoise Cake w/ Butternut Squash Ice Cream from Vue. Even better? Everyone got a book with all of the recipes, so when the Girl Scouts start selling cookies again in the winter, I'm going to have a real excuse to stock up on Thin Mints (besides the whole "good cause" thing).
But me in a fancy dress wasn't the craziest thing that happened this weekend.
That honor is reserved for my gas tank. As you can see from this blurry picture, I actually filled up my entire tank for $17.03.
Ten-plus gallons at $1.62/gal?!? I felt like I was back in high school...

I was with my Scout troop in Cleavland for December of 07, and we were freaking out about the $2.07 gasoline. I have decided I want to live in Cleavland when I grow up for cheap living, awesome shows, and always being in a battleground state.
