This is exactly a week late. nonetheless:
7 days ago today, I enjoyed a fabulous Minnesota weekend. Here's the pro/con breakdown
PRO: H made me a great, nay, STELLAR "toyota crusing mix" including "indian outlaw," arguably the most degrading song i have ever loved.
CON: the toyota declines to play cds at high speeds, ergo i could not enjoy said mix. mazada of naperville has no explaination. mrrr.
PRO: an excellent visit with the Veenendaals which culminated with them taking me out to dinner at the Park Tavern.
CON: The waitress brought me the wrong order. i ordered the "pepper chicken" which supposedly came with green peppers and pepperjack cheese. When I mentioned the mistake to the waitress she insisted that i had ordered the "lemon pepper chicken." I then looked down at my plate and saw a fried breaded chicken sandwich coated with black pepper. hmmm
PRO: the tator tots were EXCELLENT.
PRO: The film "Dan in real life" which i saw with Dan, in real life. It is basically a better version of the Family Stone. Highly reccomended.
PRO: seeing rachel lee mattson and her family at her cousin's wedding
CON: The Wedding Song - death to anyone who has this at their wedding.
PRO: Kim Mattson gets engaged to Bob. Happiness ensues
PRO: The mashed potatos at the reception
CON: Gary Mattson threw out his back and was therefore unavailiable to polka
PRO: cutting a rug with Rock
PRO: open bar.
PRO: our sightseeing tour of Minneapolis, including the site of the 35W bridge collapse, which was sad, but also important to see, so it stays in the Pro category.
CON: leaving my phone in the back of the mattson's car and driving 6 hours home with no one to talk to :(
Final grade: A- The minus of course for lack of Polka

I also saw Dan In Real Life. I was disappointed, as I was expecting a funny movie with some romance mixed in, not a chick flick. Alex, predictably, liked it a lot.
As for photos, just save them in a file, then when you are posting, click on the image next to the spell check that says 'add image' when you hold your mouse over it. Then click browse, find your picture wherever you saved it, and voila.
i might add a few pros/cons myself:
PRO: seeing the groomsman, who shall remain nameless (mostly because we don't remember his name) at the hotel buffet breakfast the next morning, drinking beer with an empty bloody mary glass next to his plate. he proceeded to tell ma and pa mattson that we were "totally wasted" the night before, whilst spilling beer down his chin.
CON: the nebraska wine provided for the toasts. the red wine tasted like baby juice and the white wine like dirty water.
PRO: the groom owning the stage with a stellar karaoke version of "takin' care of business."
PRO: a birthday surprise at 2AM in the hotel bar.
PRO: i have the best best friend ever.
Good for people to know.
