Les Miserables
Andy is the greatest...
For my birthday he bought (credit carded is more like it) tickets to Les Mis. I had never seen it, I only knew all of the songs from a high school choir medley. We had great seats too, the ticket girl recommended them because, "You just have to see Jean Valjean's face when he sings." The sad thing is that she was so right. I am now in love with the portly old Jean Valjean and I think Andy is jealous. I love you Andy, thank you!!!

Cat Poop
Dear Dr. Phil,Wow, my cat stinks!
Someone didn't get the memo...poohing in the toilet is where it's at! I need to explain this to my cat, but I'm afraid she will take it the wrong way. I know I know, you can't just ask people (cats) to change. She pooped in a box when I met her, so what should I expect? If you are reading this Dr. Phil...what should I do? Also,are you a real doctor?
Luvs,

One final left!
Frankly, I am not too excited for this class with the final but, when that is over then IT is over! I want to work really bad. I want to make money and pay off my debts. At the same time, after writing my senior paper, I realized how much I love the process of learning.
So guess what...I'm thinking about grad. school. I know I know, I am 'deferring' reality. At the same time, I would really love to go on with my education. I'm sure ALL of you have had this conversation in your brains so give me some advice!
P.S., I would never do law school so forget it! Also, why do I know so many lawyers?

Wacky thoughts
It is finals time and this time of year always brings back happy, sad and mad memories.
My happiest memory is at the house on Como when my roommates, Andy and I competed playing Snood on study breaks. Andy kept whooping our asses! Erin was PISSED! To her defense, Andy was going on and on about male superiority! So she was right to be pissed.
Worst memory, obviously my mother's stroke happened around finals time. It was the wost time of my life. Somehow in the midst of crying, waiting for my mom to wake up and illness from those icky hospitals, I managed to write all my papers and tests. I really learned a lot from this. No matter what, life has to go on, except if your dead. That is excusable!
Mad memory, there are too many. I think studying for finals in the Retail Merchandising department after I had been REJECTED as a retail merchandising major! Another example of how sometimes we just need to go through the motions. Plus, now I can name any fabric on the planet (Textiles class).
I'm very sentimental today, I don't know why. So, to all my friends that read this blog, I hope things are going well and if you are still in school, good luck in finals.
Love,

Give Thanks...
Hey all, Happy Thanksgiving! Of course we all went to "The Buffet" at Mystic Lake today to give the Mdewakanton Sioux their well deserved money. It was VERY tasty of course. My dad spent much of the time describing to Andy his bizarre inventions that are going to aid his retirement. I would tell you what the inventions are but he hasn't patented them yet...plus they are to disgusting too write.

Trend annoyances list
Shawna and I brainstormed a lot of things today (some too sick to be said here) but we made a list of the annoying things that accompanied some of the biggest fashion trends...
1. Boots w/ jeans tucked in-Either the jean has to be constantly re tucked or it is just uncomfortable shoving your jeans in a boot.
2.Shirt tucked in the front and not the back- confusing, where do you stop tucking anyway? plus it always untucks on the sides!
3.Those hair claw clip things- Actually very hard to get them to look "just right", they were sharp and painful and lastly, boys would take them out to be funny when actually you spent a lot of time getting it just right and now your hair looks horrible (totally cry-worthy in Jr. High).
4. Huge skater pants (different than 'gangsta' pants)- Causes tripping and forces people trying to look macho to actually look dainty when they hold their pants up like a long dress at prom.
5.Long skirts with no stretch or slit- Forces the wearer to scoot around like their knees are attatched to each other.
6.One strap backpacks-Very painful when heavy, get over looking cool and get a real backpack already.
7.Starter Jackets- Live in fear of being shot.
8.Way to big shirts-When you raise your arm, at the right angle people can see your armpits (which may be embarrassing to a sixth grader that has just begun shaving.) Or worse, someone may see your boobs or bra!
9.Bodysuits- When worn with a bra, you have to try and hide your bra, without a bra, you have to make sure you don't have a scoliosis check from the nurse that day (as I did in 6th grade) PLUS, the snaps at the crotch were very hard to deal with, it was best to snap them BEFORE you put it on but when you went to the bathroom there was no choice.
10.Tanktop over shirt- constant bunching up issues, not to mention in most cases it just looked stupid.
