Earl bird gets the worm

Oooooh my gosh, last week was 100% non-stop stupid busy. Luckily I made it through to see another weekend.

Here are some bullets of whats been happening...
*Starting all the way last weekend, we had a tournament in St. Louis and the team played amazing. Best I've ever seen them do, it was really exciting! Daddy also came so we got to party with him.

Ranger Matt (shown), Clavin, and I "smoked" imported cigs...those boys are pretty sweet.
*Monday Nicole and I went shopping for dresses...we both tried this one on, luckily it fit neither of us.
*Tuesday at hockey I ran into a wall trying to beat Luke and got a crazy bruise on my arm. It looks BA/pretty icky.
*Also Tuesday, Nette and Chris got a house! I haven't been out to see it yet, but once I do I'll hook y'all up.

*Wednesday Nicole, Willton, and I did Telefund...it was about as cool as you might think, but add on that I got a coupon for free chips and guacamole from Chipotle.

*Thursday my body hurt all over so I ditched Ballet in the morning.

Later we game night-ed...nothing too over the top that day.
*Friday morning at 3 am us new members in the house woke up to make breakfast for the old members...I guess it's just a thing they do here. Anyway, we were pretty grouchy about it at first, but it turned out to be pretty fun. The theme was a Sunrise in Manhattan, and we gave them picnics (they also got escorts).

*The day of Friday (after I slept for a couple more hours) was amazing if for no other reason than the week was over. I went to Panera for lunch with Anna and Amber from work who are pretty great.

*That night I went to Topeka because Jon D. and Dilly had come up to visit Lane! So naturally I had to go see them. I met up with them and some of Lane's friends and we all went out to Lawrence to meet up with some of our friends (Josh Sauer, Ryan O ((It'd been forever since that guy)), Buck ((and that guy)), Mo, and others) and we all played Rock Band and had a great time being together.

Of course Lane wasn't wearing a shirt again once the night started up...

*Later in the evening some shat went down, or almost, at the local Steak'n'Shake and some people almost got in a fight, so the cops got called and ran our id's and we all decided to just head back to Topeka. Other than that little episode the night was great, it was so fun seeing my friends and meeting Lane's, they were all pretty tight.
*Saturday I came home to meet Zach when he got in town to be my date for formal, which wasn't an ungodly amount of fun, but we all had a pretty good time together.

(Brad, Kerri's date; Ashley, a girl from the house; Zach, and me)

(Me, my hard core boyfriend beats me bruise, and Kerri "I'm hotter than Audrey Hepburn" Bates)

*Today me and the fam ate lunch at HuHot then shopped around the mall for things to put in the new house.

And now you're caught up.

Hopefully this week is a bit calmer than last week.
PLUS it's Birthday Week!!!

Get ready for it baby, Wednesday's comin up fast.

OH, and I'd like to give a shout out to Kerri's brother Jonathen, I heard he read my blog. What up lil bro.

Gar He is!

If nothing else I have time to do the online quizzes Stana does. I swear I'll update soon on all the things I've been up to--like my wicked bruise on my arm from hockey.

You regard intellectual exercises as a waste of your time. You dislike confrontations and are perfectly willing to compromise or to deny your own needs in order to get along with others, however you believe that a certain amount of deception in social relationships is necessary.

Happy Valentines Day!

Last night we had a first floor Valentines party with cheese dip, love ballads,
and a bunch of girls crammed into one hallway!

What a great holiday. After work Dean and I got a spot of tea, Kerri and I went to game night, then Dan brought me my valentine manila folder with a bunch of coloring pages of flowers and a note written in Japanese on the front. It was pretty bangin.

Oh, Kerri and I also went to Target and I got a sweeeet new watch. Tomorrow morning I'm going to Target before my class to stock up on Valentines day merch that'll be on clearance. Yes! Oi...it's 3:45 am...

Go Getter Greg

Duuude the guys from Ludo are so freakin sweet, check out what they do on their days off in -18 degree weather!

It came to me in a dream

I don't want y'all to think I'm boring because I post juuust about once a week now. Actually, my life has become quite eventful. I'm officially in the dance I was an understudy for, which is a modern piece inspired by the works of Salvador Dali. If you haven't look at much of his work, you may want to. Kid was craaaazy.
But this means that I rehearse for an hour and a half every day, on top of dance classes and regular classes, I squeeze in work when I can , and I study a ton (like, don't hang out during the week) and get 57s on my Japanese tests. Yup, life is poppin.
Kerri's been quite ill for the past couple of days, so me and my body are fightin that little number off like crazy.
Patriots and the Giants went to the Super Bowl this last Sunday which I'm sure you're aware of. The Patriots...lost? I know, I don't understand it either. It's too bad they couldn't get a perfect season.
This weekend we're heading to St. Louis for a hockey tournament, should be a good time as usual!

Don't cry Tootie don't cry

My hair is brown! And I can sleep again...

Bear hugs given here

WHAT a great evening I've had! My mommy came to town and we went to look at a couple houses with Nette and Chris (for those I never ended up telling, the big news I couldn't post about awhile back with the picture of Nette was that she got a real job here in town so they're staying!) They made an offer on this one! We'll hear more tomorrow.

One of the houses had a bear hug station :)

Tonight Shannon, Nicole, and I went to see Ludo play at the Kathouse Lounge. It's a really nice place for shows, plus the show was bomb. They played "Girls on Trampolines" for the encore, always a favorite, I was in the very front with Shannon and Nicole close behind, and I talked to these two guys, Tim and Andrew, after the show and they're really cool. Very good band!
Plus their new album comes out a day before my birthday!

So before we went to the show the whole family went to eat at Panera then we came back and were watching videos on the internet. Wanna know what we came across? My future. This is a little thing I like to call Jumpstyle and it is the coolest thing I've seen in awhile...
it gets me so pumped everytime I watch it :)
So anyway, Nicole and I started learning it, but I hope to be all about it in the next few days...

2008 is the year of Jumpstyle
