big news!

I guess i only blog when big things happen in my life. BAM.
So you're wondering. What does this picture have to do with my life? Well, that guy who is lookin happy in the chicago white sox uniform while a Justin Morneau does not look too happy, is Jim Thome, who has been part of the much hated chicago white sox team for quite some time and was part of the team that caused a part of myself to die during that fateful game 163 in 2008. Now, he is a MINNESOTA TWIN. Yikes. Oh yeah, did I mention that he WON that fateful game for the white sox and is the reason that they did not get to the playoffs in 08? I just get sad thinkin about it... well NOW, he's on my team. What am I supposed to feel now! I do believe that I should feel good. He wanted to be a twin, likes the team and will only be hitting from the bench. Yeah, he hit 57 home runs against the twins. So what. Now, he can do that for OUR benefit against other teams! I think that the twins should've tried to get some players that they really need...third basemen?! But, this will be good! When we're in game 163 against the white sox, he can hit the winning home run AGAINST them! :D

HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR. wow.

The year is 2010.

It has been for 10 days now. WOW. Where did the time go?! Last time I checked, I was jumping on my bed listening to Spice Girls and NSYNC and the year was 1998!!! All of a sudden, there is a 10 after the 20. GAH. After I freaked out for a bit, I began thinking about my life, the world, the country, the state…everything, and what could happen this year. I also started thinking about my New Years Resolutions, that I do every year. This year has the potentential to be HUGE if I just set my mind to it. Really. Here are some of my resolutions, that I wanna get out there on the world wide web so that I really do have to accomplish some of these!!!:

- Get a real teaching job and finish my current internship on a high note.

- Move out of my parents house, and move to a different state, possibly out of the Midwest. SHOCKER. (I am about as Midwest, Minnesotan as someone comes. Yes, I go to California every year for spring break, so a part of me is there, but I have always lived in Minnesota, have spent many summers working in Wisconsin, and went to college in Iowa. Yeah, I need to get outta the bubble for a few years.)

- Travel. A lot. this means GET OUTTA THE COUNTRY!

- Become a real adult and actually start paying my own bills.WOAH!

Okay, I am freaking out just reading these serious resolutions. Become an adult?! What?! I can’t be singing high school musical and hoping that Edward Cullen will fall in love with me forever!?? Haha okay, I’m not that crazy, but seriously. I may be growing up this year and actually be on my own. Hey, I’m 23, so I kinda makes sense! Well, now I’m talking about what could happen to me this year(WOAH!), I have predictions of what could happen this year. OOO! Its just always fun to see what happens, right!? Here are some things that I think could happen this year:

-The Minnesota Vikings win in the 2^nd round of the playoffs. They lose against the Arizona Cardinals, because apparently to the Vikings, Minnesota native and Holy Angels great Larry Fitzgerald is UNSTOPPABLE.

- An NFC team will win the Superbowl. As AWESOME as the Colts are this year, I just have a feeling it is not their year...WOAH.

- Target Field Opens…after the first two games versus the Boston Red Sox are postponed due to snow!!!!!!!! Wow, wouldn’t that be a SHOCKER!?

- Since I’m kinda talking about the MN Twins, here are some predictions for their season. If this happens…that would be FREAKY, right?!

- The season begins with a major SLUMP, due to their very difficult April schedule in their new park, and I actually predict that they will be last or second to last in the division for all of the month. Things will start to pick up in the middle of May when the ice has thawed from Target Field and things will start working!! They will have a FANTASTIC June, leading up to the All-Star Break where they will be second in the division, behind the Chicago White Sox. As long as we are talking about the division, I believe that the Detriot Tigers will be absolutely no threat, and perhaps this will be the year the Royals will start to show some potential. Still not sure about the Cleveland Indians, but the White Sox will be a major force to be reckoned with. Gah. However, I think that there will be a HUGE push after the All-Star Break and the Twins will be on top and win the division with weeks to go in September, and I think they will be winning 90 + games this year. As great as they will be, I still believe that they can only escape the 1^st round of the playoffs if they don’t play the Yankees. I do actually predict that they will win more games against them this season than last season…hahah all they need to do is win ONE! Hahah. Okay, but another predicition is that RON GARDENHIRE WILL WIN HIS AWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-Another thing I forgot: JOE MAUER. I believe he will re-sign with the MN Twins, because if he didn’t he would seriously be BANNED from the state that he grew up in and loved all of his life. And his best friends will not ever speak to him again. He wants a winning baseball team…BUT I predict the Twins will be World Series bound…NEXT season. He’ll just hafta wait around…and I think he will! He is totally gonna re-sign in September/October, just to keep us guessing!

- And moving on…I believe that the snow will not be completely gone until around April 15. WHOOO HOOO! I am predicting a very snowy late March, when I am having a fabulous time tanning by the pool in Southern California…yay.

- There will be another Halloween Blizzard. It seriously could happen.

- Angelina Jolie will have another child. WAH!? Hahah…ooo and Madonna will adopt another kid from another country. Wouldn’t that be a SHOCKER?!

- This summer will be HOT and DRY. Last summer when I was in Northern Minnesota, it was COLD and WET the whole summer, so it just has to be the opposite this year, right?!

- This year, we will have a BROWN Christmas. It has been VERY white the last few years, so I have this feeling with our hot summer we will not have much of a winter here in MinneSNOWta.

Okay, some of these predictions may be off the wall, but hey, could happen! What are your predictions?! These are FUN, so I encourage all of you to just see how this year turns out! I think it will be GREAT!
