everytime I login to post something, I'm like..."who cares!"

I mean, I love reading everyones blogs and find them VERY interesting because I could look for hours. Maybe not hours, but I do my fair share of blog-stalking. It's a nice break from writing a paper or studying or being bored before going to work.

So, here are a few things to mention:

*I'm done with school in 3 weeks.
*I got a new tattoo! Pictures coming soon, it needs to heal first.
*Chris got a hair cut. YES. I did it, and it looks nice.
*I will be leasing a brand new 2009 Toyota Corolla in a few weeks. Leasing is a great option for me because your payment is much lower than buying, your car is under warranty for 3 years, at the end of your 3 years you have option to buy - or, you just lease another brand new car, and I get a discount because I will be graduating: my security fee will be waived, $400 rebate AND free roadside assistance for 1 year!cute, huh?

BEST BIRTHDAY!

We had a party!
Riley and Jenny made me vegan chocolate chip cookies! They were amazing! How does everyone know I like sweets so much? Thanks guys! (Jenny is hiding from the camera)

Julia made me a kitty cake! This was after the tail was eaten. Mmm soo good!
Weird squinty smiles...


Chris took me to a super yummy/nice restaurant, Paley's Place. Look it up, SO GOOD. Here he is looking so sweet :) Thanks friends for all the wishes!

BARACK THE VOTE!

Happy Halloween!

C-Town

This past weekend we celebrated my birthday in Corvallis. I was most excited to play with AJ! I quickly learned that Grandpa and AJ have a new activity they like to do together. I'm not really sure what to call it...or what my dad was thinking when he made it up! Let's just say that Grandpa is very innovative, and having practice with children definitely shows!

Here's how it went...

AJ gets on the pool floaty...
"WOW"

Pull Grandson around the yard on the floaty...
Oops, fell down because Grandpa was pulling so fast!


That's okay! I'll just run back and hop on again!

Pull Grandson into the house...
Uh oh, Grandpa walked away. AJ's not happy!
Now he's happy! Say "cheese!"
Chris outside playing push-push with Artie.

Oh, hello

AJ! He is getting so big, it's unbelievable! He's definately a little boy, and my sister is such a great mother! I still can't believe I was his nanny when he was just a little babe. I love you, AJ!



We went to Ashland last weekend. It was such a nice little girls getaway. We had amazing sushi (the 2nd best I've ever had), delicious french cuisine at Amuse, and two wonderful breakfasts! Ashland has so many good restaurants! We also saw a great play called The Clay Cart. It is the oldest Indian sanskrit play, part love story/drama/comedy. I really loved it because of all the beautiful sari's and costumes!

Neko Case

My nice friend Riley gave me a few Neko Case cd's. We share similar music taste and he assured me I would love her. If you haven't heard her, you should go getcha some! She is amazing. Such a beautiful voice and wonderful song writing.
