The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

So it's been a busy week, but the threat of class in the near future, leads to squishing as much fun in as possible.

The table has finally come back to its rightful home. Stevo made this with his roommates when he was at UW Madison, and now we have it in our house!

It's like there's a magnetic pull. We can't help but find each other.

446 had it's first keg... I even helped tap it! Themes are the only way to go, they make everything so much more photogenic. PLUS, even if people don't follow the theme, they still feel obligated to add something to their outfit. :)

No Shorts Today? - Creepy Dude at Work

We made a beer pong table! Brianna and Lyss picked me up after work, and we were off to Menards! Best part was seeing Travis giving a tour to some students. He was walking next to Brianna's car and asked what we were up to. We (well... me) said "We're going to Menards." But that didn't seem like enough information, so I added, "We're making a beer pong table." We laughed and drove away, leaving a big group of smiling students and their parents.

Anywho... it's Tortoise and the Hare themed. Don't really know why. It's kind of random, but I think it turned out wonderfully. Obvi everyone will want to be on Hare's side. :) Well... I always will be. Can't stand that slow stuff. The only way is to go for the bounce. Two cups people! It's worth the risk.

We Got a Prime Number

I feel very at home on Doty, it's a nice feeling. And friends always increase the level of enjoyment. :)

Shazow! Drinking season is def upon us. We went to Tim's Fri and Jordan's on Sat. Plans for Chris' Thurs and we might be having a little shindig on Sat. Come check it out! Should be fun. ;)

So I finally got my room cleaned! I even vacuumed...

It's pretty boring right now. I gotsta work on that. Thinking about a collage of pics... but that's so daunting. Do I have a theme? Is it totally random? How do I pick what makes it? Should it be people and significant memories, or just cool photography? I really don't know. :( Hopefully I can find some kind of inspiration.

We've Decided Your Party has a Western Theme

WE HAVE INTERNET! Woot Woot! V. Exciting.

Friday we went shopping! Didn't buy much, but spent way too much time in the dressing rooms being lame.

When we were leaving, the wind was whipping and it was really weird weather. You could feel a storm brewing. We guessed a tornado, but were wrong. :) That's the rug we bought for downstairs!

These birds were super creapy.

So is Allie.

Martin Strikes Again

So, I know it's not a good excuse, but the new house won't be having internet until Fri, so I hope you guys can hang with me til then. ;) Got a lotta updating to do, aye?

SO I used to kiddingly say aye, and I am now starting to seriously incorporate it into my lingo and it's NOT GOOD! Gotta work on that.

About a week ago we had a good time at Laur and Bridge's. Kind of a "Goodbye Double Deuce" party. Martin the bat crashed the party. This was the second time Martin came around, although I never saw him the first time. So, we were all in the living room when he started flying up and down the staircase, back and forth, which is in clear view of the living room. Steve jumped to action: he grabbed a tennis racket, ran into the entryway, and started swinging at Martin. Amazingly enough, he got him, and pinned him underneath the racket.

These were the faces during the whole episode:

Steve and Alex managed to get Martin out of the house, but it is believed that he'll be back.

Speaking of creatures... while in Cambridge, crashing overnight with Susie, Dave, Nick and Chris, the boys found a snake.

Mom doesn't like snakes.

THEN, we moved in! 446 W. Doty here we come! Everyone got there at almost the same exact moment, but it ended up working out beautifully because that meant there were a ton of hands to help out with all the moving in. And there was a lot of stuff to move in.

So this is the before pic of my room. I'm working on getting an after... just have to put away all the clothing that hasn't quite made it to the dresser yet...

Downstairs is the shit!
