Luaus, spending money, and houseguests

By
Sorry. This week has been busy. Work has kept me busy, and dinner at my great aunt and uncle's while doing laundry ate up one evening, and grocery shopping/errand running stole another. Monday was a day of long, long meetings. Tuesday was more digestible, with a one-on-one w/ Meris and another planning meeting. I feel like I'm learning so much every day. Like how to decorate a room for a luau. I'll fill you in later, but let's just say, the library is known for throwing a good party.

Manda came to visit this weekend. Sometimes you don't realize what you're missing until someone is there to remind you. Living alone, I don't go out to dinner by myself, and I haven't seen a movie in the theaters since Amy and I saw Prince Caspian the day after graduation. It was nice to be able to go out and do that this weekend. I saw 2 movies and only ate meals in the apt today. And it was so nice just to hang w/ Manda.

Now the problem is, I really need to be productive. I made food for the week and did most of the dishes. I've still got major paperwork to do and run to the bank, but it helps that Gretch is coming this week. I usually just need something to push me to get it accomplished. And going to the wedding is going to be a blast. I'm stoked. I haven't seen Katie in long time. And it'll be over a year and half since I've seen Sarah. Weekend trips and visits will totally make not having vacation time worth it :)

I should get back to being productive. I promise to try and update more often.

April weekends

By
I just solidified plans for this weekend today when it hit me: my April weekends are all over the place, and well so very me. Keeping with my new reality of being around Dubuque much more often than I have in the past, I'll be here for 3 of the 4 weekends. Ok, and by here I mean mostly here. I'll explain below. April 6-7 Julien Dubuque International Film Festival --I went to the festival last year with Gretchen. We had so much fun! We ended up seeing a different set of films than we originally thought, but it was still a blast. I was lucky enough to attend the Beloit International Film Festival with Kyle and his family last month, and this year he's coming down to spend the weekend watching films with me. Plus Nicole will be around for the weekend so she's coming along too! April 13-14 Twins game with Amy--We've got tickets to the Twins-Mets game on Sunday so I'll be driving back up to The Cities (I was just there over St. Patrick's Day weekend). I have...

About me

By
I feel like it's only fair I do a little bit of an intro for my new BEDA buddies: Christina , Autumn , and Nicola . For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, a bunch (read over 200) of us participating in Blog Every Day in April signed up to have Maureen Johnson (the Churchill of BEDA as Alex Day called her) to match us up with BEDA buddies for moral support for the rest of the month. What we do with these buddies is up to us. I'm not quite sure yet what we'll do, if anything other than comment on each other's blogs. But I feel like I do the least on my blog to give an idea of who I am. So this post is hoping to rectify that. So here goes! I'm a midwestern born and bred. At 24, I've never lived more than 200 miles (a 3 hour drive) from the city I was born in. However, my parents threw us in the van and took us on driving vacations all over the country, where I fell in love with history and roadtrips. These two loves served me well in colleg...

Booklist

By
I found this in my RSS feed this morning and thought it was a nice way to start the day. It is a list created by the National Endowment for the Arts, and a blogger writes that they claim most American adults have read only six of these hundred books. I've read 23, but about half have been for school; however, some of those I chose to read for a class assignment. :) Here’s what you do: 1) Look at the list and bold those you have read. 2) Italicize those you intend to read. 3) Underline the books you LOVE. (Or in my case turn them green.) 4) Reprint this list on your own blog. 1 Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen 2 The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien 3 Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte 4 Harry Potter series - JK Rowling 5 To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee 6 The Bible (um, how many people have actually sat down to read the Bible? Like, straight through? I'm counting it because I read at least a chapter every night.) 7 Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte (I own it, but haven't read ...
