Girls Just Wanna Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper

So...we've been a little busy apartment hunting. But it paid off, I have an apartment! YAY! Everything I wanted...washer and dryer in the apartment, heated underground parking, fitness center, pools, I could go on, but well...you get the idear. I love it. It's in Eden Prairie in a really cute area, very safe feel.

But enough about that...on with what you are really interested in...our goofy adventures. Purchased a sleeper sofa from Ikea and had it delivered today. It's red and fabulous, and I bought a nice comforter so I can sleep on that until I can afford a bed. :) I tell you this, because after it was delivered, we had to try it out. Patio door open to let in fresh air, I bounced onto the mattress, covered myself with the blanket, and yelled to Suzi "get in here it's wonderful!" Just as she was climbing into the bed with me (you can imagine how this looks, right?) the boys working on the pool passed by. Hearing our giggles, they ogled us through the window and I'm sure had many thoughts which they kept to themselves. This only caused us to explode into further fits of laughter. We then decided to head out to the store and so we closed the blinds to keep it cooler. You know what they were thinking, eh?

Off to the Minnesota Zoo! We scored some free passes from the rental office and decided to check it out. It was a really great zoo! We also went late enough in the day, so that all the animals were active. The highlight was the Brown Bears. I don't know how this will come across in written form, but picture this if you will...ahem-

The bears were in a large enclosure, trees, grass, and a large pool area. We were looking at them from behind glass so we could see under the water, which came up to about shoulder level as we were standing. There were three of them and two were fighting-mauling each other toward the back of the pool. Just as we were focusing on them, in comes big brother, apparently straight out of a Barnum and Bailey act. Stick in mouth, he swam the side stroke from one side of the pool to the other. Of course, I immediately began singing circus tunes. You know the ones I mean, doo doo doodoodoodoo doo doo doo... He knew he had us. We could almost hear him saying "Never mind those fools, I'm the one you came to see"... doo doo doodoodoodoo doo doo doo.......Then of course our focus again turned to the "fighting" bears as we quickly realized they might not exactly be fighting after all....yep. For further explanation, please see Suzi upon return for a re-enactment.

That's about the highlight dear readers. Tomorrow is Phantom of the Opera, so stay tuned for pics of us in fabulous evening wear. (Hint: Suzi bought a new dress and I bought new shoes) Doesn't get better than that my friends. Oh, and we are both catching ourselves in the vowel shift I was so desperately hoping to avoid...darn.

Oh, and before we go..some random movie quotes we have picked up: ( in order of frequency)

"Come the fuck on Bridget!" (When one of us is in a hurry and the other is dawdling)

"You sir, are an asshole"...(said in Ferris Bueller type manner, when...well...someone is being an asshole) Suzi tried this out early one morning on the maintenance crew making a lot of noise.

Immediately followed by: "I'd like to have a few words with you by God..." Have we seen this movie too many times?

"Where the fugawee?" Spoken at least 12 times daily

"What the French Toast?!" followed by "What the Fudge Ripple?!" As Suzi does not know the words...

Hmm these may be funny only to us, but we crack up at each of them...enjoy.
