state farm bobblehead you

 tonight i went to the st. paul saints baseball game, my ninth of the season. near the end of the game i noticed a fan had a state farm bobblehead, and then i found the tent where i could get one. i passed on it when i was at the minnesota state fair- too much to do at the fair- but thankful i got another chance at it. i let them know i will be a state farm policyholder in a few days, when my policy with another company expires. there were various styles of bobbles to choose from, i chose the baseball player. it meant a quick photo, a headshot, and it was put on the bobble. and it is in its own box, much like other bobbles. the saints won, 8-6, over the iowa cubs. there was an inside the park home run, actually a grand slam if i am not mistaken, by the saints early in the game. the i-cubs did chip away at the saints lead but fell short. i picked up another saints ball from the souvenir shop, mudonna the pig mascot is on it. after checking what baseballs i already had, i was fine with picking another one up as i found out i had neither of the two that are currently being sold at the shop. i had two slices of pizza from the speedway gas station on the way there so i was good, didn't need any food or drink at the stadium. of course, it was a day for chores and errand running, got it done in the morning. there was the post office, no orders to pick up but i got a card re-routed, return to sender as it is not for me. then there was dropping off recycle near the capitol and getting a box of 'wednesday' cereal from target. i checked this season's  halloween cereal lineup and that one appealed to me, although i have only seen this show from the addams family franchise on youtube. and i got some cheese as well. it was midday by then and i went to an armenian festival at a church in st. paul. it meant buying a punch card if one wants food and drink, i got the pork kebab with rice pilaf, cabbage salad, and pita bread. i got a brownie and some hot tea from the upper level, and when i was leaving i got some bread with two kinds of cheeses inside. then i went home and watched the iowa vs. iowa state football game on TV, on CBS. iowa led at the half but lost a close one to iowa state. yemen native sent some pictures from the night before to my phone. late in the evening i went on a walk and found 2 dollars 4 cents.
