Week In Review. . . and a stolen wallet

So. . . I have been here for exactly a week and have quite a few stories already. Tuesday night we had a work happy hour at Cooper's. It is a really fun place and has some good food. We tried the spinach artichoke dip and a few other appetizers. And of course, some Blue Moon beers!!

Thursday night, Pita and I went to the Dog Day at the Dome. They invite dogs and their owners to wander off leash in the MetroDome. It is a fun time for the dogs who have been cooped up for the winter. Pita has not really been cooped up-- but we went anyhow. She had a blast running around. I guess thay are not having another Dog Day until December. That stinks since the dogs have a great time!

Oh, did I mention that the Boxer Boy down the hall has a girlfriend. Darn!! But he is still fun to look at and his dog and Pita like meeting outside every once in a while.

Skip to Friday-- it is time for a drink. A friend of mine and I went to the Herkimer Pub & Brewery in Uptown. Great atmosphere but why is every guy in Minneapolis gay? Don't get me wrong-- I have no problems with anyone being gay, I just would like to have a few guys that I might have a chance with!! This is too much work!! But the Herkimer was great. The beer was cold and strong, which was needed on a Friday night, and the food was great. We shared a vegetarian appetizer called the Oasis. It includes Black Bean Falafel patty's, hummus, sweet potato dip & wheatberry tabouli. Good stuff!! We also shared the vegetable macaroni and cheese. I cannot eat meat on Friday during Lent-- I will definitely have my fair share other days though! All in all it was a great place for food and people watching.

We decided to move across the street and have another drink. The Lyndale has a great bar and a cool set up. They even have Pabst Blue Ribbon cans, but for $3.50, it's still PBR?!?!? I had a vodka soda and was enjoying it. Then I was approached by a fire breathing dragon!! Do I need to explain that this means a guy with bad breath. I chatted with him a bit, but tried to move away quickly!! :)

We stayed for a bit longer visiting with a couple other people that my friend knew, and then decided to call it a night, since we both needed to drive. As we got up to go, I noticed my wallet was missing!!! Yes, the wallet was stolen from my purse as we sat right there. I was so mad!!!

So-- whoever you are who steals wallets from unsuspecting happy Friday drinkers-- you're a meanie!! AND. . . Ha! Ha! You didn't get anything since I called my credit cards right away-- so THERE!!

Anyhow, today I spent trying to order new EVERYTHING and find a new wallet, which I still have not done. It is really annoying!!

All in all, a fabulous week in the Twin Cities! The clouds are rolling in though, and we are supposed to be getting some snow. I hope I am ready for the tundra!!
