i am doing something for the first time in our apartment. i am watching a clear tv with more than 2 channels, and i am on the internet. i know that internet and cable are somewhat of a luxury, but also necessary evils. It will be nice to do research on the internet, check emails for class and of course be able to watch tv channels other than fuzz. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You know who you are. we love you

thoughts to ponder
1.) when cutting up jalepenios, always wear gloves.
if you don't you will spend a lot of time whining about how much your eye hurts because even though its been hours since you touched the peppers you have touched your eve for the third time and it still makes your eye or lip or whatever else you touched burn like crazy.
2.) when watching football on tv it's way more fun to watch when you can actually see what's going on. rabbit ears are a joke in marquette.
3) when frying fish, make sure your apartment is well ventalated. or else your place will look like ours. oh and forget getting that fried food resturant smell out of everything you own.
I just thought that everyone should be aware of these things. i hope you take them to heart and always heed by these rules.
This is not a pretty picture of sunlight streaming through a window, it is vegtable oil smoke. you could see the smoke billowing out the windows in front of the fans. someday we'll use a little common sense.

raindrops are fall'n on my head
I did not take this picture, but it was definitly raining this hard today. Very very fallish. I had to use my $5 wal-mart special umbrella today. you know I can't ruin the pig tails! Hopefully today i'll find out if i got the job i interviewed for yesterday. i'll tell you all about it if i get it. Everything else is good, I have my first test next week, so I'll be studying all weekend. Woo hoo! I can't wait! Have good weekends.

Labor Day Weekend
this weekend went by way to fast. mom and dad kept jason and i company this weekend all the way up in marquette. it was so nice to see a familiar face, to have other people to hang out with, to sit around a campfire and to spend so quality time with my parents. their campsite was only about 5 minutes from us on bikes so we hung out at the campsite a lot. we tooled around on our bikes. we went down town on the bike path that runs along the lake shore the whole way. i gave my parents a lesson about the differences between blues, jazz and folk music as we sat outside the blues festival and ate some pizza on a picnic table. we went swimming in lake superior, mom found a GREAT hotel...the Landmark Inn, she just can't wait to come back up and stay there. it has good atmosphere...you know how that is!!! :) it was a great weekend and we were sad to see them leave. i know they like marquette a lot more now that they've seen it with out snow and they didn't have any wrestling meets to go to. thanks for coming mom and dad, we love you.
the pictures below are ones that mom took. there are many more on my flickr website.

to all my adoring fans
I know you are all wondering what my tables turned out like...well here are some pictures. For those of you who don't know I sanded these tables down (along with my kitchen table and all 4 chairs) i then painted them black and then my dad put boards in the middle of the tables so i could tile. Linda helped us find the green tiles. (Thank you so much) No one sells green tiles. Once we got sort of settled in our apartment I had to tile the tables and this is what they turned out like...much better that plain wood and glass. Thanks Dad for letting me paint up your barn, my apartment thanks you.
