Thank you to everyone who made Christmas a most special day! Have a wonderful remainder of 2008---and bless you in 2009!

YeeeHaw!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Things have been so very wonderful in my life lately, and i am so happy. It feels good to finally smile day after day. I can't wait to see my family tomorrow...i love my family and i am so thankful for them...every minute of my life.

I wish all of you the Merriest of Christmases.

feeling a little bit better today. I have some people taking really good care of me. so...don't worry...i'm going to get better in no time. i'll try to be as healthy as possible for christmas. it's just this throat thing. it's killing me!

the past 3 days i have gotten a good 26 or 17 hours of sleep. been drinking a lot of water and tea and "Emergen-C" plus downing ibuprofen. It's the best i can do considering the doctor didn't give me anything for the pain. yesterday it would have been nice to get some codine or something. jeepers...what's a girl supposed to do? i couldn't swallow. whatever...

anyway...that's all i've got. i've been quarantined to my home for the past two days...not much happening here. just hanging out with the cats. they're good kitties. i cleaned the house and scooped the snow outside today. that's the extent of my life. boo to illness.

hope you are all well!

guess who has canker sores on her tonsils and in her throat?!?!?!? that's right...i do.

i feel like i might die.

"He" really does exist!

Thank you Mom and Dad. You mean the world to me.

Well..and update for you all. I'm feelin good. Took the day off from work today to recoup from the weekend...my college roommate, April got married on saturday. Best Wishes to you both April and J.J.! i had a blast at the wedding....and i'm just feelin good.

so there's that. CHristmas is in 10 days. woah!!!!!

aaaaanyway. that's all i got. consider yourself...updated.

This song is great. I really like it. Pretty and good lyrics.

Morning coffee in my new desk lamp light. This should get me through the winter!!
(and give my complexion a porcelain look!)

This morning...RedBull gave me wings!

i like it...num num num

Hello New Hair!

feels good to have an updated look. I was tired of the old boring. this style has so much more bounce and movement...it just has character, which is nice.

Here it is!:

Hullo! It's me!

say goodbye to this nasty hairstyle....this is the last you'll see of it!

hokay...going to meet Jenna for some lunch! YAY ROOMMATES!

A strange thing lurks in Windom Park...

Monday: Scene 1: The walk home...

Jenna and I got on the same bus at 5:45pm. We rode to our stop at lowry and got off the bus together. On our walk home, we came across a strange object in the middle of the sidewalk. As we approached i said "awww, jenna...it's a dead squirrel."
"EW!" she replied, "that's disgusting!"
"We gotta move him..look at his face! so cute!"
"he looks like an old wrinkled man!"
"yeah but he's still cute. You poor thing...I don't even know how you died. You don't have any blood marks or anything, you're just dead...let's get you over here in the bushes." Together Jenna and I nudged the dead and partially frozen squirrel off to the side of the sidewalk with sticks, where we covered him with leaves next to a small shrub. There we left him, with a stick cross and a blessing for a happy heavenly life.

Tuesday: Scene 2: Morning Journey...

I left my house at the usual time and walked past the assisted living building. I said hello to the black and white cat who sits on either side of the door in the mornings. This morning, he was inside on the bench looking out. warm and snuggly kitty! As i entered Windom Park, i noticed a gray fluffy something sticking out of a bush next to the swings on the playground. As i walked closer i noticed that it was the dead squirrel from the night before. "Oh you poor thing! Someone has moved you to a different bush! I bet a dog got you and moved you..." I nudged him fully into the leaves and kept on my way.
As i walked, i began to wonder if someone really had moved the squirrel. His eye was open and again, there were no signs of blood. I resolved to check the other bush on the way home again. Just to be sure that it was the same squirrel.

Scene 3: The Mystery Unveiled...

I got off the bus at my normal stop and hurriedly walked toward the bush from Monday night where Jenna and I had buried our friend, Squirrel. I saw that he was back in his original place, though the leaves and stick cross had shifted a little from the wind. "Peace Mr. Squirrel" i said and hurried away to the other bush where i noted my furry friend that morning. He was still there...."Two Squirrels? What the heck is going on here?" Both squirrels remained in the "squirrel fetal" position and showed no signs of violence or a fight for life...they just lay there cold and lifeless. entirely perplexed, i walked home. On the way i racked my brain for a reason these squirrels might be dead. Dogs? Foul Play? I can't say for sure.

Wednesday: Scene 4: Death remains...

Still there. Still dead.

Thursday: Scene 5: More Death?

Walking to the bus again this morning, I wondered if I might find another dead squirrel. I passed the dead squirrel by the swings and shook my head in despair. Then, something caught my eye. A small black object a foot away from the squirrel, laying very still. A small black bird lay dead in the dirt. "How can that be? A BIRD now? This is not right..." i said as i continued on my way.

Something is going on in this park, and I want to get to the bottom of it. Animals are dying and there are no signs of foul play anywhere...What could be taking their lives? What? regardless, whatever it is lurking in that park will be discovered. I will get to the bottom of this dead animal caper. My mind is baffled....

A blast from the past: Amadigi: Pena Tiranna

D'un sventurato amante
provo tutte le pene in questo petto
ama Oriana Amadigig, e me disprezza;
mi promette Melissa conforto al mio tormento,
ma tardi veggio, oh Dio!
ch'e vano ogni potere al duolo mio.

Pena tiranna io sento al core,
ne spero mai trovar pieta;
amor m'affana, e il mio dolore
in tanti guai pace non ha.

Today is odd. I am unmotivated and not interested in being at work. I would rather be at home...relaxing. I wish i could go to the gym, run all afternoon, then go home and relax. Tonight Kate is re-dying my hair...then saturday i get it cuuuuut! Thank goodness for Mark Ryan at City Looks in Rochester. He is the master at hair cutting. I will never have a better stylist than him. Thus, i must make the trek home to have him cut my hair into a masterpiece. and he will! Free reign!

anyway...enough out of me. I miss singing that song! Oh High school...when things were good and easy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANNY!!!!!!!!!

I hope that you have a wonderful day. i love you very much! Behave today...just because it's your birthday doesn't mean you can stop being the proper lady that you are! HAHA!

Best Wishes to you the entire day!

xoxox

i really don't have anything to report. Halloween was fun. Work has slowed down...or started making sense...i can't tell which one.

This weekend i have a Cousin date planned with my darling, Alexandra. She and I are going out on the town, Erickson Style (you're only as old as your youngest party member...so we'll be 14 and counting!) but it'll be awesome.. I have a few treats up my sleeve, so we should have a good time. I think it'll be great.

at any rate...i am excited to see Cuzzin brianna growing out out out...little baby is showing! HOORAY! it makes me happy! You're so cute Brie! You're all in my thoughts and prayers. I love you!

ok, enough for now. it is time to go home. Have a good week everyone!

I just wanted to share a few photos with you all from a photoshoot that Kate and I worked on yesterday with an outstanding photographer, Steven Anthrony of Uptown Photography. Here is a couple of photos that he produced. Kate was the hair and make-up stylist...she does INCREDIBLE work. I love you Katy Jo! Take a look!

so, tonight, i was getting ready for bed....
i needed to wash my face. I turned on the hot water and let it run until steam rose from the faucet. i grabbed my face wash from the shower and shut off the hot water. it is normal that i brush my teeth before washing my face.

i flipped on the cold water and grabbed my toothbrush from the medicine cabinet wetting it in the stream of H2O. After shutting the water off, i put my toothpaste on the brush and brought it towards my mouth. as the cleaning device approached its final destination, something struck me as strange. I pulled the toothbrush back and to my bewilderment, the toothpaste was white and not the usual blue color.

i sniffed it and quickly realized i had applied face wash to my tooth cleansing apparatus. I cranked the cold water back on and rinsed the soapy intruder from the bristles. I applied the TRUE toothpaste and commenced into my regular brushing routine.

I could still taste the abominable bite of that foul face wash while the minty bubbles filled my mouth. However, i know my fate could have been much worse...

stay tuned for more drama in the life of Megan Joy--25 year old at large.

this is for myself.



this is my birthday dress (It has polka dots on it that you can't see in the pic!)...my hair looks way better in person, the pic doesn't do it justice. anyway...happy birthday to me!

well, the first thing that made me laugh on my birthday is....our pot luck sign up list. Thank you Chris Stickney...for making this the best list we've had!

and the second thing....my brother's Birthday song! Thank you for the Song Big Brother! xoxox

i don't feel i should have to say anything more...sometimes i can't stand the thought of sitting any longer.

A volte sento soffocato e voglio essere solo. L'altro cronometra sento come c'è nessuno lí per me. Il sentimento peggiore è la solitudine, e lo sento spesso. L'aspetto di venire a me. Aiutarmi a sentire amato e voluto di nuovo.


Well...countdown begins, i suppose. 3 days til i am 25. weird to think about. really weird. Anyway....worked from home this afternoon. well i went to the gym and then came home and now i am working. lame. i know...there is just so much to do. spreadsheets and spreadsheets. i promise that i don't like microsoft excel spreadsheets. i look at too many of them in a day...some people don't like to see the same patients....and me, i don't like to see the same old spreadsheets.

blag!
sorry, i'm a bit grumpy.

"Je souhaite que je pourrais me lever de ma chaise et de la promenade sur hors d'ici. Je vous parlerais plutôt, marchant avec vous, sur une plage au bord de la mer. Je souhaite que vous me regarderiez dans mes yeux et me dites que vous soigniez, que vous m'aimez. Je veux que me vous ayez aimé. Je peux vous attendre non plus. Mon coeur est cassé et ne peut pas être réparé par vous. Me permettre de vivre ma vie sans vous, s'avançant de mon propre chemin.

Me permettre d'aller. Me permettre d'être."

The bus driver kicked me off the bus this morning.

so stupid. i cried.

Well, here i am. Sitting at work again. I worked until 7:30pm last night and got in the office today at 7. things are so busy, i really shouldn't be blogging, but i think you all are in need of an update.

As many of you know, I went to visit my cousin Brianna at her home. Chris was gracious to let me invade for an evening. We slept and lazed around and went to visit Gran at her house after she got home from surgery. Other than that, i've been doing a lot of stuff.....I did a photo shoot with Kate. She is booking me as the model for some photo shoots that she hears about and it's a lot of fun. i have a lot to learn about things to do with my face and body for a photo, but practice'll make perfect! I have another shoot coming up this weekend...so that'll be good i think.

Good Luck to Mom at the mall. I hope everything goes well for you!

Anyway, i guess i work and i do photo shoots, i get to visit my wonderful relatives out in Lake Elmo where i go for walks, learn about the bible, eat great food, share laughs, and do 9th grade math homework! it's a BLAST! (and i do mean that, i really enjoy my time there!) I also sleep sometimes, i'm going to start going back to the gym. I feel like a beast and want to feel good going into winter...start up a good habit. Now i can go more regularly because i can just hit the downtown gym and catch a later bus home. Looking forward to that. Anyway...here's me. in case you forgot me. My hair is red in hidden streaks. do you see??

Well, Happy Friday Everyone.

Can i begin by saying that i am excited for Jamey and Kate to come home from their honeymoon? I want to hear all about it and see photos and just have them close again. I adore them. I like house sitting for them. It's a nice little get away house for me to escape to. I can go there and watch movies and just be...there is something really awesome about their house though too...i love it.

I am at work...don't know why i'm still here. Bored bored bored. there is nothing left to do, but be bored. Maybe i'll leave in a few minutes. i'm trying to convince my roommate to stay in and watch movies with me tonight. I think we'd have a nice time. maybe go for a walk or something, but mostly just stay in.

OH...and last night Jenna and I went to see Nights in Rodanthe...good good movie. Chick Flick. Ladies, Grab your gals and go go go see it when it comes out in theatres! (we went to a preview showing) On our way home, we decided that since it was the opening of the 35W bridge yesterday...we ought to drive over it in honor of the new bridge. It is so cool! We drove over it..and then right back over it again to get home! it was amazing! pretty cool to say i was on it the last day it existed..and the first day of its complete recreation! I was talking ot my friend from Jersey on the phone...so he got to go over the bridge as well. He's never been! hehe...anyway.

I think i'm going to pack up for the night. Brianna..call me. Nan, call me. Heidi...call me. Everyone else...don't call. ok? ok. JUST KIDDING...call if you want! (i screen my inbound anyway! hehehehe kidding again!) Alright...ok ok ok, i'm out. ciao.

mert.

Well, it's a good thing i bought this planner. I'd be lost without it. I have so much to do that i don't know how to do it all. and that's not even all of what i do in the day...those are just the big, time consuming things. anyway....pooky and kate leave tomorrow for the islands and the Germans fly home. Tonight i'm meeting my dear friend Patrick from ireland at the News Room in Minneapolis. I'm so excited to see him. It has been three years since we've been able to chat in person! my head is exploding right now....i must away and get back to work!

Two things...

The meal i made for myself last night. it was the most delicious meal i've had in a very long time, and i made it for myself. Now today i am enjoying leftovers, and i am so happy! mmmmmm. nom nom nom. Look! Asian Beef and Noodle dish! (steak in my noodles!)

Then there is the funny cat pic of the day. i just really liked this one. hope you do too!

TODAY IS THE BIG DAY!!!

congratulation's Jamey and kate! I am so proud of both of you.

Mostlty I'm proud of you Jamey Dean. You are the most amazing Big Brother a girl could a girl could ask for. I love you so much. I wish you love and happiness in your journey ahead. Best Wishes.

LET'S GET YOU MARRIED!!!

1 DAY!!!!!

get ready everyone...he's going to be a married man!


all the family is traveling up today. I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone. Roseau is such a small town, not a lot there...but, it'll be nice to have all the relatives here in this tiny town. looking forward to it. hehehehe

welp... let's just say it....

2 days!


omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgggggg! can't wait!

Well, Big brother only has 5 more days until he's a married man. It's a little strange for me to think about. My big brother is getting married...i don't suppose it will be much different than it already is, but i guess it's the whole concept of it all. He'll be MARRIED. I am so thankful for the woman he's found to be his bride. Kate is an amazing person. She is full of love and good humor. She is everything i ever hoped for in a woman for my very best Big Brother. I couldn't have chosen her better myself.

it won't be long now...the days are rolling by fast. I am excited for them. A new beginning.

5 days!

Well, a good friend of mine brought me some delicious coffee back from his vacation the week earlier. I feel very spoiled. It is SO GOOD that i can't even begin to tell you. I got a giant bag of coffee (as you can see below) and a nice little mug with a beautiful painting of Madeline Island on it. How lucky am i? At any rate, here is a pic of me being really excited about my delicious coffee!!!!


Only 18 days til the wedding! HOOOOOORAY! Who's excited?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNT-sc1ymEM

this is in honor of our victory in the first playoffs game last night. Thanks again Brice for your help on the team! NICE TRIPLE last night....wooooooooo hoooo!

I feel Giddy. I still haven't put up my Philly Pics. Honestly, i don't even log onto my computer when i get home at night. I just have other things i'd rather be doing when i get home. ANYWAY....i will post those soon. i just wanted to update everyone and say that i am fine and happy. though, my teeth are sensitive...white strips will do that to a person. I'm soooooooo excited for the wedding coming up. Only....23 days! WOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!!! It'll be the most wonderful day! Got a softball game tonight; it'll likely be our last game. Thanks goes out to Cousin Brice for subbing on our team. Subbing for the injured. We appreciate your help. PLUS, you're good...so, Thanks! Ok...gotta do work. ugh ugh ugh.

OH OH OH---- on Tuesday this week, the marketing department took the day off at 10:30 am and we went to a baseball game in St paul. We tailgated and watched the game. it was so much fun. then the next night we left work an hour early and had a HH for my boss and the intern. the intern just left the company for the summer and my boss is getting married on Saturday! So we had to celebrate! it was nice.

that's all i have for now.

Well, i've got something stirring in my brain. I feel antsy...i'm looking for something more. I've got some thinking and some planning to do. Just...all i ask of you is that you support me in my decisions. This could be big.

it could be really big.

well...i'm on the way home from Philly. My trip to visit Tim Markus was AMAZING. first things first...i am so very proud of tim i could BURST. he is doing exactly what he loves and he's doing it well. He's got an amazing group of friends out there and he's stage managing a giant production of Les Miserables at the Walnut Street Theatre...the first theatre in the country. He does the behind the scenes work...he knows everyone's move and where they are supposed to be and how everything is supposed to play out. I saw the show on Saturday night and it was amazing. I loved it. I was among the likes of Hugh Panaro, and some other famous Broadway Broad....can't remember her name..which means she is pretty "famous." But i guess Hugh played the phantom on broadway for three years and now he's playing "jean valjean" in Les Mis. The most exciting thing is that so many people called out during the show that they ran out of extras and understudies and Tim actually had to dress and go on stage. He's the STAGE MANAGER and he got to perform on a professional theatre with Hugh Panaro. it's pretty amazing. I was soooo proud of him. I really can't say how much i love him and how happy i am that he's living his dream. He's amazing at what he does and he's so happy doing it. That's all a friend could ask for. Tim, You're amazing.

I got to see the liberty bell...and some other things..and i met some pretty amazing people there. Tim has some great friends, they were all welcoming and charming and just a wonderful group of people. I fit right in with them...which was nice. I was very sad to leave...i had such a wonderful time out there, but i guess good things have to end sometime....i know i'll be back out there soon. I made some strong connections that will require a second visit. it isn't the last of PA that i'll see. Maybe i'll even make it to New Jersey...

Tim took me to NY yesterday and we hung out on the lawn of Bryant Park with the man who plays "Boq" in the broadway production of WICKED. he was so down to earth and normal, but yet a broadway star! it was pretty cool. after that we got some food and drinks and then went to see a show called "Title of show" it's based on a show that was submitted into a fringe festival and made it all the way to the top. i mean, the show is literally about writing the very show they are performing. and there are 4 actors and they are the writers. it was really really funny. and so much like real theatre life that theatre people all over can relate to it. pretty awesome. ok...i have to go board the flight now. i'm almost home! SEE YOU ALL SOON!

clarity and happiness...Sky blue!
Today I feel good. Bright, Calm, free of any kind of stress or anxiety!


(blue legos)

warm and inside. full of life and happiness.
that's the feeling of Yellow Orange.

I guess if i had to pick a color i felt like today it would be... a hazy purple. that smokey purpley color...that's what i feel like today.

This weekend was a good one. Even though i had a rough end to last week, the weekend turned out to be quite fun and relaxing. kate and I spent a lot of time together and it was really nice to have someone to hang out with. I miss her because she is really busy getting ready for the wedding and training for her half marathon...now that the marathon is over, she has a little more time to just hang out. So that's nice. anyway...i'm so tired this morning. I thought i would send you a picture to show you the proof...

i got up at 5:20 so that i could get into work by 6:30. i have a big project due tomorrow and i wasn't able to bring it home and work on it this weekend, i needed to access the SPS System...so it looks like i'll be in here tonight and possibly tomorrow as well. ugh. Anywhooooo...

see me!

Well..here's the story behind my last post...this was an e-mail i wrote this morning. i'm sorry if names of people don't make sense....ignore them...they were just people involved. Karma...what did i do to deserve all this?

Last night on the way home I was stopped at a stop light about 10 min from my home and this woman yells to me from her car and says “Don’t move Miss, you have a cat in your wheel. Don’t go forward” I was confused and looked out my window…just as I did this the cat ran from under my car…the light turned green…and the cat was running across the road (this was a little kitten…no more than 4 months old) The traffic coming from the other way didn’t see what was going on and the poor confused cat got run over….the worst part of it for me was that I heard it happen…the cracking, the splattering…it was HORRIBLE. I screamed and just lost it….i had to pull myself together and get off the road. I pulled around the corner and just wept…I sobbed hysterically. Then I heard another meow. I got out of the car and searched the nearby bushes. I couldn’t bear to have another kitten run onto the busy street. I searched and searched, but I couldn’t find it. Finally I gave up. I couldn’t spend any more time looking for it. I had to go home.

I called My dad and talked to him…but he wasn’t much help. I was still hysterical. I drove the car home in shock and sat outside my house and cried. I had tried calling Joe on my way home, and he called me back while I was crying hysterically. I could barely breathe and I did my best to tell him what was going on. As I was sobbing into the phone I heard the meows again…I heard tiny kitten meows. It was in my car…the other cat was IN my car somewhere….under the hood, in a tire, caught in the muffler…I had no idea where the meows were coming from. I started sobbing again and Joe did his best to understand what was going on. Finally he got me to calm down enough to go get a neighbor for help. he was right, I couldn’t do this on my own. So I got one of the neighbors to help me and we searched for almost an hour.

I went in the house and grabbed some cat treats…my roommate Amanda was inside and I just started sobbing again. She came out to help and between the three of us searching for the cat…she was the one to locate it, under the hood, inside the car, next to the engine. I caught a glimpse of the cat and had to turn and walk away. I didn’t know if the cat was hurt or alive anymore. Nothing, I couldn’t look. The neighbor and Amanda found that the cat was still breathing and it’s eyes were open. It was ok, just stuck. So I went to get the other neighbors who have a baby to see if they had a eye dropper or syringe or something that we could get some water to the cat with. She was dehydrated…we found a syringe and got kitty some water. After about 2-3 hours…Animal control had shown up (Amanda called them while I was in hysterics) and we freed the kitten. It was a tiny orange kitten who was scared to death. I named her Chance…(and her sister who didn’t make it…Faith) Animal control let me pet Chance and then he took her to his car. I asked him what would happen to her and he said they would take her to the shelter and find her a really good home. I thanked him and cleaned up my mess I had made by my car. Didn’t go to bed until almost midnight. I’m exhausted.

This morning, I walked to the bus with Jenna (other roommate) and we missed our bus, as we were waiting I noticed that she had some paint or something on her arm…then I noticed it was on her clothes and I was like WTF. She was like..It’s all over you too! Someone had spray painted the bench we were sitting on and we got oily spray paint all over our clothes. It was on our skin, and our shirts, my jeans…all over the place. I was soooo angry. We had to go home and change and soak our clothes….was late for work. It’s just been one HE!! Of a 12 hours for me. I’m exhausted and I just want to sleep…

Rest in peace my sweet little Faith. May you find a safe lap to lay on in your new, heavenly home.

Please watch over your sister, Chance. She is safe and will have a good home to live in.


I'm so sorry.

update... i took this photo before bed last night. then i slathered it in neosporen and put a band aid over it. this morning it is in a much better condition. pretty ridiculous.

apparently holding the curling iron/straightener on your face for like...3 seconds will burn your skin. and that burn turns into a scab. and the scab is big and red and ugly...and it peels so everyone can see that you burned the heck out of your face. sometimes i wonder where my mind goes while i'm doing important things, like working with hot hair tools...

Well....

this weekend my roommate and I went to the Minnesota Lynx game on Saturday. We had court-side seats. It was pretty fun! Then we met up with my mom, Aunt Michelle, and their friend Sherry and we all went out dancing. We had a pretty good time, but it was really really packed downtown. Things were kind of nuts. Anyway..Mom and i were able to go shopping the next day for something nice that she could wear to the wedding...in the whole Mall of America, we didn't find ONE thing. not one. it was ridiculous. But we had a good time together..my mommy and me.

Today i got into work early and tried to get all my work done that i didn't end up doing this weekend. Turns out, I was done. the other two folders that i thought i had to get through, were not areas that needed to be edited. SO the work i did last week was all i had to do. WHEW...now today i'm leaving early in an attempt to get to the chiropractor on time. I am very much looking forward to getting my back adjusted. I'm just so uncomfortable. uuuuuuugh.

anyway, i don't have a lot to say. I'm tired today. this weekend was draining. early to bed for me! here's a pic of jenna and me at the game on saturday! pretties!

These are so stupid. But...it's good for a smile.

(Thanks Jenna)

Reminds me of cleaning day when i was 3 and 4 years old....

http://youtube.com/watch?v=5PP1HEFlkdY

Well....this weekend i changed it up a little. It took little-to no convincing on Kate's part...Just a dab of bleach and BAM! a white streak. What do you think?


i like it. it's fun!

What a stupid head. That guy...was a stupid head.

don't yell at me on the phone in my new job. i won't have it.

Well Friends...today it is hot outside. I wore my hair back in a ponytail...excuse me...a little sprout, because it is shapeless and flat in this silly weather. As you can see below, there is not much to my sprout of hair...but it went back just the same.

Also, i decided that today was going to be a glasses day. I haven't been able to see this clear in weeks. I never wear my glasses anymore. mostly because i forget about them. But today my eyes can celebrate vision! and seeing. and clarity! all good things.

Tonight i am going to go watch So You Think You Can Dance (SYTYCD)with Kinzie and Meagan! Such a good show. I loooove watching those kids do all those crazy dance moves and things of that sort. I don't think i would be good enough to be on SYTYCD, but it would be awesome to try out and see what they would say. probably some kind of insult. every reality show has to have their three judges...the normal male, the "oh i love you" female, and the cranky, cantankerous, Brittish guy. So cliche. honestly...

It has been soooooo hot in the house lately. We're trying to hold off on the AC for as long as we can, but the humidity is getting a little ridiculous. I wake in the night sweating to death...and that's not really much different than normal, but it isn't a good feeling, that's for sure. Jenna said that maybe tonight we could have the AC...oh i hope so. I don't want to complain...but...I"M TOO WAAAAARM. hehehe...ok. i don't really have much else to write about. of course there are always happy and exciting things going on in my life, but i cannot write about everything you know. it would take forever! surely you understand that....dont you?

I did it. I really did it. I hung up my curtain rods and then...placed my homemade curtains on them. This weekend my beautiful mother and I made these awesome curtains for my bedroom...to keep the intrusive sun out in the morning. Last night I decided that I wanted them up so that they could begin working their magic. I put the brackets on the walls and hung the curtains...as you can see below. They are beautiful and they work WONDERFULLY! i woke to darkness this morning and felt so proud to have done it all by myself. (well not the curtain part..Mom helped on that one!) Anyway, take a look below. Aren't they cool?

Here's the fabric up close..that's the cool hem at the bottom..OPPOSITE COLORS! The tabs at the top match the hem at the bottom!

Welcome to the newest member of the Bowar-Erickson-Christman household. "The Bowrickman's" or the "Christbowson's" perhaps the "Erichristar's" whatever....

MEET BUTTONS.

Buttons is a kitten that came all the way from the Bowar Household in South Dakota. Sadly, in order for her to stay with us, we will be strongly considering a new home for Nina. She is a long haired kitty that we have who is very needy. She requires a lot of attention and affection, but when isn't given what she feels to be enough, (she's jealous of her brother, Tyson) She goes Potty (both kinds) on the carpet, chairs, Jenna's Sink....she's being naughty and we don't know why. So, we're looking for a new home for her. Is anyone interested? She's a very good kitty...she's just acting up in our house. too many changes for her.

Anyway, here she is...4 months old and cute as a...well, Button! Meet Buttons Bowrickman! :)
