We Should Have Just Had Bertolli!

My idea for dinner tonight was a simple frozen dinner that you warm up in the skillet called Bertolli. Well, Matt convinced me that we should get Pizza Hut because he had a coupon so we came up with the deal that if he ordered it, I'd go pick it up. I left the house feeling completely confident in my abilities of getting around in traffic and finding my way to the store. I also was going to stop by Blockbuster to pick up a movie. I stopped at the first and closest Blockbuster, which I promptly discovered is closing and yesterday was the last day for rentals. Undeterred, I called Matt and he directed me to another one, apparetly right next door to the Pizza Hut. I missed the turn, had to turn around while fighting traffic and it still took me 30 minutes to find the store! I couldn't find any good movies at the Blockbuster and chose one neither of us is really excited about. When I got to the front, the girl was too busy flirting with someone to realize there was a line of people waiting to check out. Then I went next door to Pizza Hut where they informed me that they had lost our order. BUT we'd get a replacement for free! I waited another 10 minutes, when the manager came up and found our order in about 5 seconds. I took the pizza and headed for home. By the time I got back, my two errands had taken me an hour! And the food was only luke warm by then. I thought, we should have just had Bertolli!
Here are some pictures from the weekend.


Pongo seems to think it's okay to get every single toy out of his bins at once. He just can't decide which one he wants to play with!

My first Rockies game! I liked this sign.

My ticket that I got for free. Thanks again, Nick!
Coors field! It has a little different atmosphere than Kaufmann Staduim. Almost every girl I saw was dressed up! I felt so dressed down in my jean shorts and t-shirt but that's what I always wear to baseball games.

Yeah, that's right! I wore a Royals t-shirt! Nobody said anything. By the way, the Rockies' "hot dog derby" is not nearly as cool as the Royals. It's just some colored cartoon cars racing around a cartoon Denver. I dubbed one of them "mustard" to make it more entertaining.The awesome video board. I don't know any of the players listed!

Carlene, Nick and I. Nick made a buddy with the cute elderly lady next to him. She was so cute...she had a baseball glove! The girls! We weren't quite ready for the picture. Nick clicks the button too fast! I must add that the Rockies won. Yay!

Pongo and I taking a nap together on Sunday. I think I caught up on all of my sleep this weekend from staying up late to see Matt last week when he worked nights. He's on days again for three weeks.

Thanks for the new blog and for the pictures! Glad you enjoyed the Rockies game--it looks like a nice stadium. I'm so anxious for Corky and Pongo to see each other again and play with all those toys! At least your dinner was free and you had a new experience! Take care! Love you--MOM

Actually, our dinner was not free. Since they found the order, I had to pay for it. :(

Haha, awesome pics Laura! Pongo is totally the boss of you two. I am all caught up on your blogs now, it's been hard not having real internet at home! Have a good hump day!
