My cupcakes lost.
I confessed to Travis that I wouldn’t have voted for them either. The cupcakes tasted too much like chocolate cake and I really don’t like chocolate cake.
Travis told me that I didn’t even know what the other options were.
I don’t need to know.
Loser #1.

Saturday night, we went to a college hockey game. Travis and I both had season tickets almost every year in college and whenever the Gophers come out to Colorado to play DU (we drove down to CC in Colorado Springs once but it’s a haul just for a game), we try to go to one of the games.
Traffic on the way down was hideous. But we made it with plenty of time to park, eat at Noodles & Co (which really brought back the memories, since I worked at Noodles my senior year of college), and walk to the stadium. The cold walk brought back memories too – of freezing our butts off every time we stepped outside December through March. I have to say, I don’t miss the tingling sensation of your legs thawing out.
The game was really good – the Gophers scored 2 goals in the 1st period.
But then they let one slip in the 2nd. And another in the 3rd. The game went into overtime and almost immediately, DU scored and the Gophers lost. Seriously, Gophers. You were ranked #1 in the nation and you couldn’t win the one time we get to watch you all year?
Loser #2.

Pictures from the race were finally online yesterday.
Let’s just say they’re not my greatest looks.
First, I faked my happiness {nobody’s that happy during a race}:
And then I didn’t give a crap:
Yes, that was the finish line.
Not even pretending to care.
Loser #3.

Last night, I cooked salmon, dill couscous, and brussel sprouts for dinner. Why I decided to cook (what I thought was) one of the most disgusting vegetables for a special dinner is beyond me. I had tried them once a couple years ago and hated them. But I guess I like a good underdog so I gave them another chance.
Dear Brussel Sprouts,
Just when I thought you couldn’t possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this…
and totally redeem yourself!
Signed,
Your Valentine
I prepared them using this recipe, except that I omitted the cheese because they were so good.
The Winner.
