Fried Pickles and Harlem

This post is to brag a little on the love o' my life. He always keeps me laughing and on my toes. For my birthday, he asked me to go to the neighbors as he slaved in the kitchen. When I got back, there was a plate of, well...I didn't know at first. All I knew is that he had been frying something. I took a bite and to my surprise (I know this isn't that suspensful because of the title, but humor me) FRIED PICKLES! He saw it on the travel channel on a show called "Bizzare Foods" and decided I might like them and you know what, I did! Dip them in a little ranch and bon apetite! Then came the main course...STEAK! I was really impressed. It was fantastic! Of course you have to have a cake and who else would I want on it than my boyfriend Spongebob. Actually, I haven't watched a full episode in my life. Just Shane being random once again. :)
After dinner, he gave me a series of 6 clues. I guess I'm a little slow, because I didn't figure it out until the last one.
1-On Monday, we'll be attending some entertainment. The program will likely be colorful; mostly red, white and blue.
2-Like Monday Night Raw, there will be a lot of big, sweaty men doing their thing.
3-The performers are known as magicians and world travelers (in a manner of speaking).
4-A handful of times their show has been ruined by a group of jealous Generals from Washington D.C.
5-Children of all ages will enjoy the entertainment, but with names like Goose, Curly, and Twiggy, you'd think it was Sesame Street.
6-You may need a little help from I-tunes at this point...specifically from "Brother Bones." Look for him under Recently Added Songs!
Finally, after hearing their theme song, I got it!


Insert video of Globetrotters here (It didn't work-Sorry, I'm still a rookie)



(Finally figured out a way for it to work if anyone still cares :)

As you can see, we spared no expense and got courtside tickets. (Okay, to be fair, there was one other row behind us. Ever the optimist, Shane looked behind us and said, "Just think hon, it could be worse")


What a guy! Thanks for a great birthday hon!

Elise, I just have to tell you that I love your blog! It's hilarious! I especially loved your previous posting of headwear...so funny!!! And as a side comment, on almost every blog that has music, I turn it off as soon as I open the page because I don't like their music--yours is the only music I just let play...let's just say I open your blog at work and leave it open all day just so that I can work to your music because I LOVE it! I can't believe how much your guys' taste is JUST like mine and Jon's. We should seriously be friends. For real. We miss you guys!!!
