I'm on a boat

OK did anyone know that T-Pain's SNL sketch was nominated for a Grammy??? Yep for best Rab collaboration. Apparently SNL's digital shorts are turning into masterpeice songs. I had to look this up to make sure that T-Pain didn't have another "I'm on a boat" song, and turns out "the lonely island" is the same as the SNL one. Well too bad Jay-Z bet them out, but still I'd like to bring us all back to can-hooing in Austin so we can yell "I'M ON A BOAT!!"



On a related note, Taylor Swift swept at the Grammys. She is amazing and been a slight addiction of mine lately. After winning every award this last year, she is going to have to start working on her "surprised" face to be a little more humble. OK you are surprised, but soon you are going to have to realize that you are good and people like you. So just be grateful. Beyonce does this well. Appreciative but not fake OMG (anyone remember that Melonia on AI with no neck who used to do this?)

weekend wrap up

1. One of the waterford crystal colored balls that hang from the lights on my patio, fall and shattered this weekend. Not sure when it happened, but there was broken glass.....all of Ireland moaned and my mother cried.
   
2. I made it out to the gym today after shoving out the plastic pinto. This made me super happy.
3. Cville roads were already in better shape after 2 days, than 2 weeks after the first snow apocalypse. Good work Cville, way to learn from your mistakes.
   
4. I got some taxes rounded up this weekend. Points for me.
   
5. Snow days rock, just for the shear fact that I get to wear MN sweatpants and tuck them into my boots. I look really good with hats that have one gigantic ball on the top too.
6. It's Grammy night!!! Here's hoping Kanye gets drunk and does something stupid, and here's hoping no one gets beaten on the way home by their douche bf.
   
7. I did get alot of work done this weekend on my thesis article part 2 in revise and resubmit, for my class this week, and a little for actual work work too :)
8. I'm addicted to this song!!!
9. I got all my relaxing weekend events in: lavender baths, mud facials, and a couple conversations with friends/family. No yoga, but I'll make up for this week.
10. I learned that next weekend I get my first big art purchase. More on this later, but it is seriously the first major thing I've bought that is not a car or a computer.....
11. Anyone want some coleslaw??? I've made about 2 tons of it this weekend. I buy the smallest head of cabbage I can find and it still makes 4 gallons. Did you know that 2 tons=4 gallons. That is LL metrics.
    

Hope you had a great weekend!!! What did you do? xoxoxox

central VA represented at Ms. America

SOOoooo apparently Ms. VA, who is from central VA, won the Ms. America competition (beauty or scholarship?) recently. She is a 22 year old student at VCU in Richmond, and apparently shops at the expensive ritzy stores we have here in Cville. Good good, I'm glad we can cater to all the VA beauties and their pageant needs.

You know, the winner wants world peace and stuff, and was qouted saying "I hope to gain momentum so that when this 365 days is over, I can shoot through the moon." Well that is realistic....space travel. Insert obvious joke about pageant airheads.....

Yeah for VA and the S. Valley!!!

headed back to NBC sunday AMs

I was a HUGE fan of Meet the Press (MTP) and Tim Russert before his untimely death. I still miss his energy, enthusism, and those lovely white boards. Since his sad passing, I switched over to This Week with that short greek god, George on Sunday mornings. I thought he was an excellent commenter and moderator. He knew his shit and called people out on their shit. Plus, George Will reminded me of my boss with his subtle spin-style comments--good listener.

Well ABC did some news shifting by bringing Diane Sawyer from the AM news to the PM news, which means they stole George S. from Sunday mornings to weekly AM news. Pisses me off. He is too smrt to be stuck in the bright, sunny morning news. So what does this mean for This Week? Hells bells who knows, at this point but we've been experiencing some substitutes.

This week's substitute might have officially pushed me back to MTP and that tall sexy fox, David Gregory. David has been growing on me, and today he interview Axelrod with force. I love it!!! I flipped back over to This Week and turns out Barbara Walters was hosting. I know Barbara is old and respected and all that, but I'm completely over her. Yeah she is out of touch, just like Regis. It is time to retire folks, your health is failing (how many hip replacements has Regis had the last couple years missing his daily appearances?) and you can't remember things (anyone remember when she called Heath Ledger, Keith?).

Today, Barbara cited Cosmopolitan magazine during her moderation of the conversation about the State of the Union. Really? Cosmo???? Please Barbara, take that shit back to the View. Then you and all those menopausal ladies can all talk at the same time, and cite bullshit magazines that don't belong in serious politick conversations.

I'm officially moved back to team MTP, go Gregory!!! It's been awhile, but it's nice to be home. I'll still think of you George when around the Newsmuem in DC.

ncis officially choose a team

snow apocalypse part 2

So it is officially Cville's snow apocalypse part 2. It all started last December right before Christmas...the snow arrived and then it just kept coming and coming until we were all snowed in for days. Unlike before Christmas, this time I made sure I had food in my house and you know, a shovel. Although I'll admit the boots and shovel are still in the trunk of the plastic pinto.

Anywho, it started snowing sometime last night and still hasn't stopped. I think around 8 AM this morning we had 6-8 inches and I bet by now we are at a good foot or so. This means that Cville is basically on lock down. No gym, no stores open and everyone is staying indoors.

Thank god M isn't here because I would have enjoyed hearing him yell "I'm going to die in Cville, fire the Mayor!!!" because they have NO idea how to plow or shovel the roads. I heard on the news this morning that the parks and recreation department bought 4 new push snow blowers after the first apocalypse so that they could actually clear sidewalks. Let me tell you, those were beautiful John Deere blowers....

Last night I couldn't figure out why the street parking was all reserved and blocked off downtown. Turns out they were anticipating the snow and not letting cars stay on the streets. They didn't want a repeat of last December when after the new years, two weeks later, cars were still stuck in banks of poorly plowed snow. Good work, Cville, good work.

Here is my car at 8 AM this morning:

get some tiger balls

Soooo this was bound to happen (which is right in line with the Tiger Condoms)....all kinds of people capitalizing on Tiger Woods and his many women. Turns out you can now buy them on his balls!!! Tehehehe.

No seriously, you can get a flight of Tiger's top 12 ladies on some golf balls. The flight is called "tail of the tiger" golf balls. Again, good play on words. Point. Advantage.

Those advertisers are soooo smrt. You can even get details on their site about all the girls that you might play with on the course (heheeh).

come over and get high

So tonight I went to see some local musicians and an artist that has been growing on me. One of the local stations sponsored a music night and we were supporters. Charlie Mars is from Mississippi and one of his popular songs has Mary Louise Parker in the vid, who I love from West Wing and Weeds:



Come on over....

speaking of drag

Well since we were speaking of drag already, I have to show you the "dragulator"....yep this is one of those amazing website that you spend hours out making you and your friends into something else. Remember the 80's one? Or the one with dancing elfs around christmas? Ahhh good times.

I like how the tagline is "zero to fabulous" and of course this is coming from the brilliant gender confused mind of RuPaul. I like as you build the picture it has RuPaul giving you some healthy esteem chants. Hells yes. LOVE IT!!

So here is me, drag-tastic!!! I had to make myself "chocolate" with some buff arms, have a drink and an umbrella in hand too. Soooo me:

i heart anne hathaway

Anne Hathaway is an amazing, smart, and classy actress. And much to my happiness, those brilliant people at Harvard honored her in their annual Hasty Pudding awards. This happens once a year and all those smrtie pants come down from their ivory tower to do some cross dressing and dancing. They put on a parade and a theater show.

This year Anne showed up and had a great time. She was surrounded by men dressed as women, she danced, she sang, and she had a down right good time. I like it. That is what academics should be about! Cross dressing, high kicks, and singing. Yep. Right on.

an india wedding

Congrats to my good friend Brianne who just had her second wedding in India over the holidays. This seems like one hell of a good party!!! There was hours of body painting (I LOVE Heena, I used to do it to myself in high school), dancing in the street (this is riiiight up my alley), and lots of good food (potatoes and beans, yum). What more could a white girl from WA ask???? Only kidding.

You look amazing, sorry to miss it:

eye plugs

Now if you have a dirty mind like me when you see BP, like the gas station, you automatically think of other types of plugs. Well today I had some plugs put in...nope not a the dirty mind version and not the hair plug version either (damn you nick saban)! But instead I had plugs put in the tear ducks of my eyes. Weird huh?

Well for those that don't know one of the side affects of Lupus is dehydration and dryness. I drink gallons and gallons of water a day, and I always have one of the green wine bottle with me. Well dry eye is part of it too. And I got myself some new eye doctors who actually know what the hell they are doing. The last couple months I've been taking fish oil, using prescription eye drops and remembering to blink in front of my computer.

Today I had my follow-up appointment to see if my lenses don't have holes in them and if my eye can retain water. Turns out they are better now! And the next step, now that my eyes are producing better tears, was to plug up the ducks to my nose so that it keeps more water in there. This was not the most pleasant thing, especially for someone who doesn't like people touching their eyes!!! I had a headache and felt like my head was clogged up all afternoon. But apparently now I can cry without having my nose run. Great.

Why the hell can't I make these appointments in the afternoon so I can just go home and sit in a dark room?

LL politicker

Well I've been laying off the politicks lately, but there has been some news worthy events this week:

1. The Edwards are officially separating, months after we all found out what a Tiger-ish jerk John is. I wonder what changed that made the wife want to leave now....the extra sex, babies, or rumored abortions? Sucks either way.
2. Tonight was the State of Union--did you miss half the room clapping? or the other half standing while other remain sitting? That is what us Americans call bi-partisianship. I hope we hear about all the Tweeting happening by the politickos.
3. BO calls for the removal of "don't ask, don't tell" in the military. I will follow the news stories about this after tonight...
   
4. Health care was getting closer, than Mass. elected an elephant which helped even up the voting. You can just see Nancy P. sweating her balls off.

Did anyone play drinking games tonight? Take a sip anytime BO says __________

• weapons of mass destruction is out of style now ;(
• what about when some elephant yells "you lie!"
• BO says "health care"
• BO says "hope"--that is sort of out too now.
  

line of the month

Damn that sparkley, dark eye liner pop singer Kesha with her money signs....she now has the number one album and song. BUT despite her popish charm, the girl's got the line of the month:

"wake up in the morning, but before I leave I brush my teeth with a bottle of jack"

I can't tell you how many times I accidentally brush my teeth with Jack Daniels....sometimes I have to use a Jim Bean when supplies are low, but in general it give you that nice tingly feeling. Minty fresh? Nah, the new thing is to smell like you've been doing shots all night....I guess you could use Peppermint Schnapps as mouthwash too (I may have done this in college)!

This has been my secret jam lately, I need to get out and shake it a little to this one:

preventing cognitive decline

So I got an invitation in the mail to attend a conference by NIH entitled "preventing alzheimer's disease and cognitive disease." Now I acknowledge that I am probably receiving these invitations because I'm on the Lupus listserv but this shit was sort of depressing. It's like I'm 70 years old and my mind is already going. The invitation was this nice, big font, bright colored booklet with easy to understand language. Yep, I'm old :)

Cognitive decline, and how to prevent it. I have some thoughts of this subject, although they probably aren't NIH approved. Let me summarize for you based on my many experiences with old people:

1. Keep your hands busy (get your mind out of the gutter!)--Kathy did this by cut out shapes in magazines (and I know this because I cleaned her house and had to vacuum up all those little pieces)
2. Keep your mind busy (not dirty, busy)--Harvey used to do this by reading everything he could get his hands on, including playboy (they have articles too--just like Hooters has hot wings)
3. Keep yourself active--the old ladies whose nails I paint move around that home and do laps up and down the halls. Got to keep your strength.
   
4. Sing--last trip to visit crazy grandma introduced me to the wonders of just singing out loud when you can't see or hear worth shit...it doesn't really matter as long as you hear voices in your head.
   
5. Drink--booze is always good in moderation. I play to sing "blow job" shots out of a straw and say things like "I like to go for car rides when I'm drunk" just like my grandma.
   

abduction in Cville

So in October a young college student from VT was in Cville to attend a Metallica concert. Rumor was she was completely drunk, wondered out of the arena, and was never seen again. The town went on lock down and was doing searches in the woods and offering money for anyone who had seen her or were able to find any trace of what happened. I would run by her memorial on a bridge right by my house and the arena.

Well 3-4 months later they have found her remains on a remote farm outside of town. There has not been a positive confirmation that the remains are hers but they are sure enough to announce it to the media, per her clothing and such. Sad news to a bad story.

Perhaps a good reminder to always be careful and try to be alittle more safe around Cville!

music of the moment

THIS song make me bounce around in my seat or dance around my place....lovin VW:



hey, hey, hey!!!

like it when old people dance

I really really like it when old people dance. It makes me giggle. I'm going to get old, have my tits be in my shoes, and still be shaking my ass. Yep, I don't care.

You can understand how I loved this clip of Digger Phelps, the college gamenight analyst on ESPN, dancing with a Clemson cheerleader. She is doing some moves and then doing a little improvising. That old dude has style and I like it:

you could still do this

This is for A and M, perhaps we could still do this???? You have time, right??? They did everything in this video, save the date baby:

music of the moment

Again, thanks D. Here is a good one, and now all I gotta do is fine tickets for March:

my big ass did this

NOT my big ass, but my jilly bean big ass did this.....intervention????

go viks

GO VIKINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go Harvin, Allen, Favre.....

Purple and gold, purrple, and gold.

feeling blessed

So this was a busy week. School started this week, I lead a training, and I had couple moment of soul searching (and you know that shit just tires me out). Today I worked a good 4 hours for the non-profit we all consult for, then I had lunch with my second boss, attended A's job talk (good job lady, and thank you for just saying "I'm glad you were just there, you are my rock"), then walked around Sam's Club with another colleague/friend. All these conversations were about life, love, work, and such blessings.

Then I hosted spaghetti night at my house for, you know, 9 of my closest happy hour friends. We had some a-mazing food. I made 5 kinds of noodles and Booren Farm ground beef, and others brought tomato, pesto, cream, and spicy vodka sauces. We had a plethora of LL's pottery and lots of amazing food. After many bottles of my 2 buck chuck (this is just for Terri, dad, and betty) and a couple rounds of the leg shaving beeping game (what was this? scadderhead? pictureme-baby?), I'm feeling sort of blessed.

D brought me 5 gigs of the Closer and the new Taylor Swift CD. I'm already listening to Taylor now, and loving every minute of it. THANK YOU for thinking of me, and for reading my blog, and for being such a meaningful addition to my life (well you and the person you depress!). Here's hoping our Viks make it to the Superbowl. I'm holding my breath for this Sunday.

I also heard from my good friend Diane (at WSU) this week, and it made me smile. She was reading my blog and wishing that I was shaking my ass in front of her office. I bet that is something both Mary and Keith miss in MN too :) My ass is pretty big and is slightly distracting from work when shaking what my momma made me. This comment reminds me of something Bernice in hot-lanta would say. Who I also love dearly (did you get my package?).

As an overall reflection, it truly has been a month of seeing all the people I love....in MI (manda & leslie too), in B-more, in Hot-lanta, hosting Betty, and then back here in Cville with friends. I spent the last two nights on the phone with 3 of my girlfriends (helga, big ass, and sarah--who consequently doesn't have a nickname yet). Here to beaches and booze next fall.

I guess I'm thankful for having a skill set that allows me to paint old ladies nail (bringing more joy to their lives than it does for me) and for the ability to teach Mormons how to sew. Tomorrow I'm doing a jean skirt tutorial and I guess that is something. I'm happy for job interviews too and wedding contracts being delivered, and healthy triplets. This are small yet big things.

This weekend, take a moment, be thankful for all the blessings in your life.....

Prince has Viks fever?

Yikes.....the honorable Prince wrote a song for our beloved Vikings and their purple and gold.....

more pirates please

So many of you know that I have a slight obsession with pirates, of course this was before the entire world caught that pirate bug the middle of the 20-teens. Has anyone noticed on the world's pop culture addiction has now transferred to vampires??? Hmmmm, what will be next? I'm hoping for goats.

Anyways, I loved the first pirates movie because it was random and funny and just my type of humor. Then they made the second more blockbustery one, which was OK. The third didn't really do anything for me. Plus Johnny Depp is suppose to be a low budget movie actor and now he is doing amazing big movies like Alice in Wonderland. Anyone else excited for the creepiness that will be this movie?

But I digress, they have just announced that there will be a fourth pirates movie!!!! It will be called "on stranger tides" hmmmmm I wonder what that means. Someone leak a copy of the script please. They are going to be filming in Hawaii which is a really good thing because I read that their tourism has dropped with the ailing economy.

Arrrggggghhhh, insert pirate noises.

more goat stories

So there have been these crazy stories of goats in the last couple months, including goats riding buses and being children's friends. Now I here that a goat broke into a titty bar in CA:



What is going on with the world's population of goats?????

the stupid things I do

Sooooo I had an eventful weekend filled with the stupid things LL does on a weekly basis:

1. I took down my 8 foot xmas tree which has been up for roughly 2 months and was wayyyy beyond dead, actually bordering on fire hazard. Fun ensued when I attempted to shovel all 8 feet of it into my little plastic pinto. Branches were snapping and there were needles EVERYWHERE!!! I had scratches all over my arms...it looked like I got in a fight with a cat (which I'll admit is a definite possibility). Now you may ask yourself, why not strap it to my roof??? Good point Brian, but I don't strap things on.... :)
   
2. Whilst cleaning out the plastic pinto because it looked like a xmas tree took a big needle poo in the backseat, I decided to clean my car windows. I really only do this like every two years when the foggy film is so thick you can't see in the sun. Turns out that I used a dirty rag (looked clean to me) and now my windows are twice as bad as before!!! Damnit. Now I keep turning on my rear defog when it isn't needed.
   

BAD...just say no

If I catch any of my friends wearing these new heels, I will gladly say you are no longer my friend. I love you all ladies, but seriously there is not a single outfit this will go with:



What is with the gun????? Although these are equally bad, it is alittle more hoof disguised:

makes me giggle

This is always my fear in wearing tight one pieces or being in the Olympics:

poor jay

Apparently, NBC is to blame on all accounts:

music of the moment

Muse, muse, MUSE!!! Yes please. This is on my daily soundtrack:



OR this song too:

nuff said

music of the moment

I keep playing this song, and for some reason I love this album. She is so professional, well-spoken, talented, and smart. I respect her as a musician and artist. Corny song, bad video, but I love it:



Someone buy me her album please. I have been an iTunes addict lately. Buying and buying music that speaks to me. Stop LL, stop. Seriously.

And I've been watching concert tickets for when she is in Cville in March. Too bad the cheap tickets are like hundreds of dollars. I want them. Why do people have to scrape those??? I want to go.

music of the moment

Vampire Weekend rocks my world, and not because it says Vampire but more because of their African fusion beat:



Love it. More please.

music of the moment

Yum, McYum....video sucks but I love this song by J Derulo:

my 09-10 mission

So for those who don't know, I've been on a mission....that's right, an unstated mission to find the best of the two dishes I love. I've been slightly addicted to seafood and carrot cake the last year. No matter where I am, I order up mussels and carrot cake. When in Austin in the fall, I ordered more carrot cake than I desserts I ate all year....

I LOVE Cville's own Mas's mussels, and tonight I found another steamed chilied mussels which rivals those amazing steroids ones at Mas. I was having drinks at Zocalo and decided I needed that appie. It was delicious, and almost as good as Mas. I didn't get any carrot cake but I've been eating those all across the country. In Cville, Chandler's is still my favorite. Not as dry as HotCakes.

The goal for 2010, more mussels (/seafood) and carrot cake......

the late night shows

So all the late night shows have been making the news lately. If it isn't Leno changing back to his normal time screwing Conan, it's all the other comedians making comments about the NBC-related drama. I think everyone has made it a good part of their nightly monologues, but I liked some of Conan's one-liners:

• "Good evening, I'm Conan O'Brien, the new host of Last Call with Carson Daly."
• "This weekend no one was seriously hurt, but a 6.5 earthquake hit California. The earthquake was so powerful that it knocked Jay Leno's show from 10:00 to 11:35."

On other related late night show news, Kiefer Sutherland showed up on Dave wearing a dress....pretty damn funny:



Leno is my least favorite out of all the late night show hosts. I heart Craig, Dave, and occasionally Jimmy. As Dave said the other night, he can take his big chin and.....

NPH is a-mazing

I love Neil Patrick Harris:

a little hot-lanta

SO I'm in hot-lanta for the weekend and it's been a good trip so far. I made it into the frozen GA last night without any problems. Our good family friend picked me up in his big F250 Vet truck, dressed in camouflage, with his dog Bud. We got back to Bernice and Ron's house for a impromptu BBQ and much southern story telling.

My guest bedroom is amazing with a TV, memory mattress pat, and a touch lamp. I LOVE IT!!! This morning I made breakfast with some french texas toast and sausage. Thank goodness Bernice let me make breakfast.

Plans for the rest of the day and tomorrow include sitting on the couch and visiting!!! Can't ask for more.

I can't pronouce things either

These guys have been abroad and don't know how to pronounce celebrity names....cracked me up:

wireless names I can get behind

hahahaha, this makes me laugh....unique wireless names which tell a story especially for us in apartment buildings:

dirrrrty!

and oddly flexible!

princes first portrait

So those sexy British Princess (yes please) posed for their first royal portrait which was recently unveiled. Well this is the less traditional portrait, where they are casually looking at each other whilest holding gloves and a sworn. What no thorn? Or a pottie of gold? Also, you need more metals on your chest-ies.

Here's hoping they make this portrait into a velvet blanket I can buy on the internets:

more muppets

Well Jimmy had the Muppets on his show recently and whilest practicing they broke into a random performance of "One." This isn't NEARLY as good as this Muppet performance (momma? momma? dadda?), but it still makes me laugh:

congrats big bang

On my off weekends, I tend to watch TV which I've stopped all together when at home. Normally, it is shows like NCIS or Stephen/Jon. BUT recently I was introduced to the Big Bang Theory. Since then I've been slightly addicted and have been looking all over the internets for more Big Bang Theory. In my opinion is a pretty funny comedy which us academics can really appreciate.

Anywho, I heard that the show goes year by year and hasn't won CBS any major awards. It would suck if it got canceled, but luckily they just won a People's Choice Award tonight for best TV Comedy, beating out yearly favorites The Office and Two and a Half Men. That is good news....Congrats fellow academics!!!

Betty has made posts about this show as well, and I couldn't agree more that this scene is what happens to my s-m-r-t-est sister when making rocket ships:



We really do love you G!

oh god...snuggies

So I've been a little crabby mccrabby about that entire Snuggie industry lately. Snuggies are ONLY backwards polar fleece coats, and it pisses me off that I didn't think of marketing this 8 years ago. Now we have sport themed Snuggies and stupid cartoon themed ones, etc. I hate those Snuggie commercials too....makes me want to stab my eyes out.

And now I find out that the industry is again advancing (beyond the dog Snuggie, see above link) to the "Snuggle Suit" and the snuggie "necky". WELL CRAPPPPPP!!! All this is a pant suit and a scarf. Seriously, the snuggie necky is an alternative to a scarf, and costs wayyyy more than a scarf I could make you. Really, are scarfs too confusing to the average person now??? If so, I guess we need the necky, but if not I might run into oncoming traffic tomorrow.

Here is the new "necky" commercial that sucks:



Plus that Snuggie Suit ain't going to fit me.....Ohhh Snuggies, I hate you.

next time I'll say no

Soooo I inherited a pair of short heeled shoes (duh I'm a gigantic and don't wear real tall heels) from someone who will remain nameless. These shoes stretched out and did not fit her, so after ripping out the heel grippers (which where suppose to make them fit better) I got them.

And I'll admit I gave them a fair go....first time I wore them, they ripped my tights. Apparently when this special person ripped off the grippers it left the sticky part still in the shoe's back. Boooo that sucked!

Well after a month I decided to give them another go, and me being an idiot, I wore them barefoot. Hells bells I barely made it home and as I took the shoe off it torn off a quarter size part of my skin. Yep, it wasn't a blister but just ripped off my skin. It felt so good (insert sass)!

Today my waxer was horrified at my heel, and now I'm considering throwing the damn things out the window. Or goodwill them? Or does that special person want them back? Because it is seriously going to take me weeks to heal from this injury!!!

Next time I'll just say no, like I did in DARE to drugs throughout high school.

BO's decision tree

So BO is in a tight pickle right now.....he is trying to schedule his State of the Union (everyone take a shot when he mentions the economy!) between the season premier of American Idol and the season premier of the last season of Lost. That blows!!!!

Either way the man is screwed. Those AI fans span the globe, genders, and generations. Grandparents and tweens alike plan their evenings and meals around the next singing sensation and Ryan "ass clown" Seacrest's (out) leading introductions. AND I have to admit those LOST fans are just as nutty. Why they like that show (besides JJ) is beyond me?!?!? But it being the final season, all hell will break lose if people can't watch that show.

Sorry BO....sucks to be you!

a weekend in b-more

The things I love about being in B-more:

• Lots of football (BCS and Viks)
• Walking by all the row houses and running "errands"
• Homemade lassssgna and pizza
• Shattering a pizza stone
• Fighting a sore throat with lots of cough drops and TheraFlu
• Ripping thousands of M's CDs into my computer. I now can play my 7000 songs for over 52 days straight :)
• Getting to visit with Matt and eat amazing BBQ
• Making cranberry muffins into a loaf o' bread
• Cheering for USC and getting to wear this new sweatshirt (I'm not sure M's gamecock boxers helped out the team this afternoon):
