Happy New Year!

Have a great New Year everyone!!! Be safe and have fun!

My Grandpa O. and Me

This is a picture of my Grandpa O. and Me earlier today. Thanks to auntie Patsy for sending the picture! It turned out great. I had a nice time visiting with all my family that was there!

Merry Belated Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!!! Sorry this is late, but I finally got enough energy to post something. It was a pretty good christmas. Me and Holly each got a new digital camera, which are really nice, Mom got a DVD Player/Burner VCR combo thingy, it's pretty cool, and dad got a smoker and he's pretty happy about that.

I've been home for about a week and a half now and it's been pretty nice and restful. I've hung out with a few friends that I haven't seen in a long time, hung out with my family, and just stayed home sometimes.

I got my grades in and I'm pretty happy with how I did. It really shows that all that work and stress really paid off. I had my best semester earning a 3.5 GPA. Hopefully I will do even better next semester!

Well I can't think of anything else to write now, so I guess I'll talk to you all later!

Book 7!!!!

I'm so excited!!! This is the title of the next Harry Potter book!!! I'm so excited. It should be released sometime during the summer of 2007 (hopefully). I'll really be looking forward to that!!!

I don't know

This is a picture from this summer from when me and my friend Trudy went to a baseball game. The picture is of the mascot, my "adopted nephew" Kolby, and his Mom (and Trudy's older sister) Holly. I felt like I wanted to post something new, so this is what it is. Kolby is a cutie pie, and he will be 1 year old on December 31st. That's right, a new year baby! I don't have any recent pictures of him, mainly because I haven't seen him for a while. He is my "adopted nephew" because me and Trudy are best friends, and pretty much sisters, so I got adopted into the family. So there it is! :P

Anyways...things have slowed down a lot for me. Where last week was really busy, this week has been pretty slow. I had my last two classes on Monday, so I haven't had much to do the past few days. I went home last weekend and just sat around, which was really nice. I don't have a final until Friday at 8 am! and then I have a final at 3 pm, but all I have to do is listen to people give speeches. My last final is on Monday at 12 pm, and then I am heading home after that for a few weeks. I'll be back in Moorhead on January 4th because Alex is coming back early, and I haven't seen him for about 2 1/2 months. But I am really looking forward to being home. I can't wait until Monday! Well have a good week everyone!

Crazy week

Well, I just wanted to take a minute here to drop a quick note. I have a pretty crazy week ahead of me. I spent all last week reading a book that I had to write a paper on that was due today. I finished writing it with about 9 minutes to spare. Now, I have a paper to write and do a few drawings for it, and I have 13 drawings to do, and I have to study for a test which is all due Thursday. Then I have speech to do on monday. I am gonna do my best to get it all done. Well, I'm gonna get started on all that stuff, so have a great week everyone.

Holly's Winter Formal

Sorry Holly, I had to do it! You're just too pretty!

Holly went to the winter formal yesterday. I tried to make it home, but I had to much homework to do so I was in Moorhead. She's very pretty, and I love her dress!

1 Year Ago

One year ago I went in the ditch. It wasn't much fun! We had a huge ice storm but some how it seemed like a good idea to drive back to Moorhead. I made it to just past the entrance to Itasca State Park then went in the ditch to avoid rear-ending someone. My dad and uncle Jeff came to pick me up, but traffic was really backed up because two snow plows had gone in the ditch. A tow truck driver came and drove my truck out of the ditch so i was at least on the road again, even though i was almost too scared to drive. But i eventually met up with my dad and uncle so that my dad could drive me the rest of the way home. I had left at around 2 pm and got back after 8 pm. That was a long day! Classes ended up being canceled on Monday and half of Tuesday so I didn't miss much, but I still waited until Wednesday to come back. Hopefully I don't have to do that again!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Eat some turkey and mashed potatoes and gravy and some stuffing, then pass out on the couch, then wake up for the pumpkin pie! Just kidding! Anyways...have a good day everyone!

A great idea for spoiled dogs like mine

This is my dog Chuck. As many of you know, he's very spoiled. He has his own couch, he gets ice cream, sleeps in my bed when I'm not there, gets tons of snacks, and drinks out of the bath tub faucet. In fact, he *only* drinks out of the bathroom faucet. Every night when my family starts to eat, he goes into the bathroom and barks until someone comes in and turns on the water. It gets pretty annoying.

I found the perfect solution to this problem! It's a drinking fountain for a dog! Where the water constantly circulates. I got the idea of looking for this when I was watching letterman tonight and there was a chocolate lab that could drink out of a standard human water fountain. I thought it would be perfect if we could teach my dog how to do this and then get a drinking fountain for our house (a little impractical). So I found this, I think it's pretty cool.

PS1 + PS2 = PS3?

So what do you get when you combine a playstation 1 and a playstation 2? Well duh...a playstation 3! Just kidding. This wonderful item was found on ebay. It was one of those things that made me say "huh." Earlier this week, I found a real PS3 for over $500,000!!!! I was shocked, why would anyone spend that much on it? I don't get it.

White & Nerdy

"Weird Al" Yankovic's music video from his new album "Straight Outta Lynwood" (in stores Sept. 26) Ok, so maybe more of the younger people will know how the real version of this song goes (Ridin' Dirty), but I thought that it was pretty funny

Summer 2007

As many of you know I work at the box office at MSUM, and I hope that I will still be working there this summer. I really enjoy working there, it's not a terribly difficult job, most of the people are pretty friendly, and I get good hours. So anyways...I was putting the shows for next summer into the theatre today and I thought that I'd share them all with you. Just let me know if you want to see them and I'll get you some tickets.

I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change

June 12-15, 2007

This celebration of the mating game takes on the truths and myths behind that contemporary conundrum known as "the relationship." Act I explores the journey from dating and waiting to love and marriage, while Act II reveals the agonies and triumphs of in-laws and newborns, trips in the family car and pick-up techniques of the geriatric set. This hilarious revue pays tributed to those who have loved and lost, to those who have fallen on their face at the portal of romance, to those who have dared to ask, "Say, what are you doing Saturday night?"

Prelude to a Kiss

June 19-22, 2007

Charming and highly original, this fantastic comedy focuses on the wonder and confusion of love in a romantic metaphysical thriller cleverly disguised as a light comedy that slowly evolves into something dark but surprisingly beautiful. The story revolves around a couple that meets, falls in love, and gets married. But at the wedding reception something mysterious and supernatural occurs and a story that began as a familiar comic romp turns into an insightful examination of modern relationships.

The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
June 26-29, 2007

This happy go lucky view of small town vice and statewide political sidestepping recounts the good times and the demise of the Chicken Ranch. Governors, senators, mayors, and even victorious college football teams frequent Miss Mona's Cozy bordello until that puritan nemesis Watchdog focuses his television cameras and his righteous indignation on the institution. Surprisingly innocent, the humor and good nature of the piece makes it cheerfully inoffensive. A tale told with such liveliness, comedic wealth and detail that cheifly concerns Texas politics one can't help but be drawn inot the world of the Chicken Ranch as it prepares to face its final call.

A Streetcar Named Desire

July 10-13 and 17-20, 2007
The play reveals to the very depths the character of Blanche du Bois, a woman whose life has been undermined by her romantic illusions, which lead her to reject--so far as possible--the realities of life which she is faced and which she consistently ignores. The pressure brought to bear upon her by her sister, with whom she goes to live in New Orleans, intensified by the eartly and extremely "normal" young husband of the latter leads to a revelation of her tragic self-delusion and, in the end, to madness. Beautiful and tragic, the words of Tennessee Williams echo through the alleyways of this timeless classic revealing to us our own fragile nature in the face of societies demands.

Guys and Dolls

July 25-28, 2007

Guys and Dolls tells the story of small-time gamblers and the ladies in their lives. Nathan Detroit bets his pal, Sky Masterson, that he can't make the next lady he sees fall in love with him, and when the next "doll" happens to be the prim and proper neighborhood missionary Sarah Brown, the stage is set for an evening of high spirited entertainment, set to the toe-tapping beat of Loesser's superlative score. Featuring spectacular favorites such as "Luck be a Lady," "Sit Down You're Rocking the Boat," "Adelaide's Lament," "If I Were a Bell," and of course the wonderful title song "Guys and Dolls."

Notice Anything?

Well, I hope that you do. Incase you don't, I'll tell ya. I changed the look of my blog again. I can't find one I like, but I guess that this one is pretty good. So yah...

As always happens, I wasn't entirely happy with my schedule so I changed it. But I'm still not entirely happy with this one. I realized that I didn't have to take one of my classes so I changed it to a class I did have to take. Unfortunetly I don't like the time its at. So here's my new schedule.

Monday and Wednesday
Nutrition (9 AM!!! Yuck! Also on Friday! Yuck!)
Design Fundamentals
Drawing/Environmental Designer

Tuesday and Thursday
Architectural History II

The nutrition class is the only one that changed. I'm not required to take a health class here at MSUM, but NDSU requires it. So I had to look for a class that transfered over there that met their course requirements. The class I wanted to take didn't fit into my schedule, so I got stuck taking nutrition. I'm not entirely happy that it's at 9 am on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I really tried to get away from the Friday classes, but I guess you can't always get what you want. But atleast I only have one class that day and it's early so I have the rest of the day to do nothing.

Spring 07

This is a picture of the Lake Point Tower in Chicago. It's a really cool apartment building! It's just kind of inspiring to me!

Anyways...I just got my schedule figured out for next semester and I'm pretty excited about it.

Monday and Wednesday
Design Fundamentals
Drawing/Environmental Designer

Tuesday and Thursday
History of Architecture II
Computer Applications for Engineers and Technologists

Friday
NO CLASSES!!!

I honestly enjoy not having classes on Fridays. This semester I only have 1 class on fridays, so it's not too bad, but it's still nice not to have to think too much! Plus I get a 3 day weekend every weekend!

I am only 4 credits away from being a senior, those summer classes really helped me. But just because I'm almost a senior does not mean that I am any further ahead than any one else in the architecture program. All of the classes are sequential and it takes 5 years no matter what so I'm stuck at the first year. After the first year, the architecture program is highly selective, meaning that I need to have pretty good grades to get in. I'm hoping that I can make it through this semester and the next and get into the program next fall mainly because I have no classes left to take and there aren't any classes I can take over agian to improve my grades. So I really hope things turn out great!

Well, hope that you all have a wonderful week!

Election Day

Well I voted! Actually I voted a few weeks ago. I sent in an absentee ballot. I am proud that I am able to vote and I encourage everyone who can to vote!

I'm only sad that I didn't get the "I Voted" sticker.

Happy Halloween!!!

Have a very happy Halloween!!! Tonight I will enjoy myself by scaring unsuspecting people at the haunted farm! It should be fun!

Picture of the week...late...10/29

This is my dog Chuck. As you can see he's pretty tired. He had just gotten back from a weekend of running around in Cook, MN. Dad made a box on the back of the four wheeler for Chuck to ride in, but obviously he was still pretty tired. Chucks getting pretty old right now, I think that he's around 8. He really needed the exercise though cause he's still over 100 pounds. Poor puppy!!!

Picture of the week 10/20

Sorry it's been so long since I had a picture of the week, but I feel like procrastinating on my homework for a little bit longer here. So anyways...about this picture...Yesterday, on my way back from NDSU, I was following this Lincoln pickup truck with California lisence plates. It's a nice truck and all, but I was a little mad at it (or the person driving it rather). Pickup trucks are a big thing in Minnesota and North Dakota, but yesterday was the first time I saw a Lincoln one. In my opinion, if you live in this area, or are even visiting, that is not the type of pickup you want to be driving aroudn. It was too nice, and it wasn't the humble, ordinary pickup truck that I'm used to. So, it just kind of made me mad. And to make maters worse, and draw even more attention to it, the driver had their music blasting...it was so annoying! Anyways...there's my rant for the month and I feel better! Haha!

The top picture is of the Lincoln Chopper! It's soooooo beautiful!!! That is one lincoln I wouldn't mind owning! :-P

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas

We had our first snowfall of the fall here yesterday. As you can see, the snowflakes were huge!It was really pretty. This picture is looking down toward the center of campus. Since yesterday, the snow has completly melted, but I'm sure we'll see more this year.

I'm having a little too much fun here!

I'm so bad at this...

I'm so bad at remembering to update...well maybe I'm just lazy. But anyways, I thought that I'd let you all know about my weekend.

Well I guess I'll start with last week. It was a busy week for me, I had a to give a group presentation on Monday which went really well, I think. Then Monday night consisted of studying for the two test that I had on Thursday, I wanted to get started early because I had alot of other things to do, including writing a report and drawing about 5 different things for my environmental design class. I continued working on this on Tuesday, taking a break to watch the season premier of NCIS (if you don't watch that show, you really should) and going to the burning of the "M". It was homecoming week, and the buring of the "M" is one of the few things I do during homecoming week. Basically we light a giant "M" on fire on the football field, it's pretty fun.

Then Wednesday was my birthday, I finished all my homework at work that morning so I had the rest of the night to myself. After class I went out to Applebees with a few friends for dinner, and that was pretty fun, the waiter kept giving me a hard time for being 21. It was kind of funny.

Thursday, I had 1 of my two tests, because the other one ended up being a take home test. I did alot better than I expected on the test, so I'm pretty excited about that. I had to work at the box office that night because we had a show going on.

Friday, Alex came up! He got here about 12:30 and he walked me to class since I had a class at 1. He just hung around until my class was done and then we just hung out until my cousin, Melissa got to town. We headed to the hotel where Melissa was staying and got ready to go out dancing there. My roommate from last year and one of her friends showed up, and we all went to a barn dance together. My friend Trudy showed up later at the barn dance with her boyfriend, and we had a blast!

I spent the next day shopping with Melissa and Alex. We had a lot of fun. Alex stayed until sunday, and then he left and I was sad. I did get some pretty nice presents though. Trudy gave me my favorite Calvin Kelien perfume: Euphoria! I was pretty excited! Alex also gave me some really nice presents. I got peanut butter (it's a joke between us), Stewie from family guy bobble head, and a 1 GB memory card for my camera. I had a really good weekend, and I am looking forward to seeing Alex again in a month!

Well talk to y'all later!!! Go Twins!

Happy Birthday to me!

Well I'm finally 21. Not that I feel any different...but oh well, it's my birthday and I'm going to enjoy it!

I just thought that I would put up some random pictures of me, and Holly, and my dad...just because.

The top picture is of me and Holly playing ballerina in our living room, fun times.
The second picture is of me and my Pa.
The third picture is of me at Grandpa and Grandma O's listening to the Chipmunks christmas album.
The fourth picture is of me again with my pa behind me, and I think that I'm at Grandpa and Grandma O's again.
The last picture is of me and baby Holly! Ain't she cute?

Howdy all

Sorry about not posting last week, Friday was kinda busy cause I went home, but I'll tell you all about that later. I just wanted to kind of report the gas prices I saw on my way back from Bemidji yesterday morning, these are in order from most expensive to least expensive.

Lake George: $3.12
Osage: $2.54
Bemidji: $2.49
Emmaville: $2.46
Park Rapids: $2.45
Hawley: $2.41
Audobon: $2.39
Lake Park: $2.39
Detroit Lakes: $2.38
Glyndon: $2.37
Dilworth: $2.33
Moorhead: $2.33

Since yesterday, gas prices in moorhead have gone down even more. On my way to class at NDSU this morning, I saw one gas station was at $2.25, and on my way back another was at $2.23!

Anyways...have a great week everyone!

Updates

Well due to my love of all things in beta, I have updated to Blogger Beta, or whatever its called. Some of you may not understand this, so I appologize. I also have Hotmail Beta and Windows Live Messenger. I'm a dork, I know. But the beta versions look so much neater, trust me.

Also, in case you didn't notice I updated my blog again. Change is good, and I got bored with the old color scheme. I just wish that blogger had better templates.

I know that I have not posted my canada pictures yet, but I'm just being lazy. It's not like I have homework 24/7 yet (that comes in the second-fifth years of architecture and being in the studio all the time, then the three year internship). I'll get them on a website soon though, I promise. Well, y'all have a good day!

Pictures of the week 9/1

Well Auntie Patsy, I did it. I went to the Fargo Theatre!

Last night I went and watched a documentary at the Fargo Theatre called "Sketches of Frank Gehry." The pictures are of the Guggenhiem Art Museum in Bilbao, Spain. My breath was taken away when the images flashed on the screen. Frank Gehry has such a wonderful imagination and a great eye for detail. He is very creative and is not afraid to create something bold. The inside of the musuem is just as beautiful. I know that some people may not like this museum, but the fact that it's so different and looks so technical just amazes me. If you ever get a chance you all should definatly check it out "Sketches of Frank Gehry."

Picture of the week 8/25

Well, that's really not a picture I know, but it does have some meaning to me. Tonight I went to my first baseball game! I love baseball, and I'm ashamed to admit that I have never been to a game before. It was an exciting game. I was of course cheering for the Fargo-Moorhead Redhawks. They won 5-0! It was fan appreciation night, so there was alot of free stuff being tossed out. I got a poster and an air freshener! Then after the game there were awesome fireworks!!! It was so cool! And I'm going again tomorrow! If you want to check them out go to www.fmredhawks.com

Anyways, I'm kind of tired, but I promise to post most of my Canada pictures soon, so look forward to that!

Picture of the week 8/4

This is most of the group who went to Canada last year, and I think they will all be going back again on Saturday, with a few new additions. This is a perfect picture, it was a beautiful day and we were just enjoying ourselves on the back dock watching the sunset. I love it in Canada, it's so peaceful and quiet. Sometimes you just need a break from all the things in everyday life, and I am so lucky to be able to go to a place like this. I will be up there next Saturday, and I can hardly wait.

I've been at home for about a week now. Last Friday I took Holly to get her senior pictures taken. I can't believe how grown up she is! After that we went to the rodeo at the county fair with our Cousin Melissa, and her cousin Trista. It was alot of fun. Then I had to go back to Moorhead and work the weekend and I decided to leave to come back home on Sunday night when it was 101 degrees in Moorhead (I was origionally going to stay until Monday morning so I could pack more). Now I've been home for a week, and after a busy summer it feels good to relax. I have to go to Moorhead on Tuesday and pack more, then hopefully I can move on Wednesday.

Well, talk to y'all later! Have a great day/week/weekend!!!

Picture of the Week 7/27

Ok, so i couldn't think of anything real interesting to post this week, so i just closed my eyes and picked a random picture and this is what came up. You can see me a little off camera holding onto Holly, and Auntie Patsy holding onto Holly who is drinking some coffee something-or-other.

Well summer is almost over for me, and it has been a pretty busy summer. I did get to see four of the five plays this summer, so I guess heres kind of a brief and probably not very good review of each of them.

Proof: I didn't see this one, but it was the first play we did
Urinetown, the Musical: Loved it! It was hilarious!!! If you get a chance to see it, I highly recommend it! It spoofed alot of other plays, and the only spoof I can remember now is Fiddler on the Roof. I'm sure to people who have seen more plays than me would have recognized the other plays in it. But seriously you should definatley see it if you like musicals or plays.
The Fantasticks: Ummm...it was ok. I don't know...It seemed kind of outdated and predictable. It was funny in places, but it really wasn't my favorite.
Wonder of the World: It was probably my favorite play this summer. It wasn't a musical, but it was hilarious!!! I laughed until I cried. It was shocking and slightly disturbing, but it was really funny! Y'all definatly gotta see this one.
The Boyfriend: Bad British and French accents...but oh well, i still enjoyed it. It wasn't bad. The actors did a wonderful job with the dance numbers and singing.

So there's my reviews. I'm going home tomorrow to help Holly with her senior pictures, then I have to come back to Moorhead to work at Kmart this weekend and work at the box office one more night. Then I have atleast a week off. I don't know when I work at Kmart, but I know that I don't work there next week, and I don't work at the box office until school starts again! So I'm going home and i'm excited! Well everyone have a great weekend, and you should all come and see Cats when MSUM puts it on in March!

Picture of the week...late 7/24

On friday, I will get to go home to help my sister out with her senior pictures. I can't believe she is going to be a senior!!! It seems like only yesterday when she was a little girl! *Sniffle* Well, I'm excited to see her, and hopefully I'll get her to smile in pictures!

Mom's new hair cut

This is my mom's new hair cut! I love it, it looks so good on her!

Picture of the Week...late

Well, last week I posted the picture early, so this week I made up for it by posting late. Just kidding. Anyways, since it's been so warm this summer, I thought that I'd remind everyone of how much snow we had last winter. This is me and Chuck standing by the snowbank in the drive way. I really don't miss the snow all that much, but I hate to be as warm as I am.

This weekend, my cousing Melissa came to Fergus Falls, where I met her, and we went and saw some barrel races. It was pretty fun. I got a little sun burnt in the the car, but it wasn't too bad. Well, i'm tired and can't think of anything else to write right now, so I'll talk to you all later.

Picture of the week (early) 7/6...Happy Anniversary Ma and Pa

Happy early Anniversary Ma and Pa! Ma and Pa have been married for 22 years, I always remember this becasue I will be 21 in September, so they are always a year ahead of me. This picture was taken at a New Years party at my aunt and uncles house, they are soo cute! :P

Anyways, if your wondering why I am doing this eary, it is because I will not have a chance to post anything tomorrow because I am going to Robins wedding. I leave tomorrow right after class and head to Bemidji, then from there were going down to Plainview (I think), and then to Wisconsin. And then on Sunday we are heading from Wisconsin to home, which I've been told is a 12 hour trip. I will be in a car for over 24 hours this weekend, but I think it will be worth it.

I am sorry if there are any typos, my hands are shaking so much from drinking coffee, that it is hard to type! Anyways...have a great weekend everyone!

Happy 4th of July

I hope y'all have a great 4th of July! I'll be at work, then I have to write a paper, but oh well.

And by the way, did you know that the space shuttle is supposed to launch today? Here's a link: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/launch/sts-121/launch-vlcc.html

Oh...and here's my favorite quote from independce day:

President Thomas Whitmore: Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight!" We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!

Picture of the week 6/30

I NEED A VACATION!!! This picture was taken by my mom last year in Canada from the back dock of my uncle Jeff's cabin. I really love it up there because it's quiet, peaceful, and there is no electricity. Wierd huh that i don't like electricity. Well I do, but sometimes i just need a break from it. Work is crazy, school is coming to the end of the first session for summer so classes are getting busy (and I should be doing some sort of homework right now, but oh well). I can't wait til August!

Happy belated Birthday Auntie Patsy!

Happy birthday Auntie Patsty! Well, it was actually Auntie Patsy's birthday yesterday, but my computer was out of commision for part of the day so I didn't get a chance to post. But, tonight I called my mom and asked her to send me some pictures...so here they are!

Happy Birthday Grandpa O.

Happy birthday Grandpa! Me and Grandpa on the snowmobile in Cook! I loved going up there and playing on the playground near Grandpa and Grandma's house when I was younger, and I loved snowmobiling, even though I didn't go very often.

2 Pictures of the week 6/23

Well, this week, this is one of my pictures...obviously! My cousin Melissa came up on Wednesday and we went to a concert. We saw a band called Sub Zero, they were really good. We've seen them before, and really enjoyed them. But we were sad because we found out that it was their last show. They put on a fun show, and play mostly country and classic rock. Then Sawyer Brown (top picture) came out! It was so much fun, except for the short people who stood in front of us and insisted on talking throughout the entire show! Grrr...Anyways...These concerts were at the Red River Valley Fair, and as we were about to leave, we spotted the Tilt-a-whirl! We remembered riding that at the Bemidji 4th of July fair when we were younger, so we decided to go on it for old times sake. It was alot of fun, and I laughed and Melissa screamed the whole time. Then we got cheese curds and left. It was a lot of fun.
