I'm going to school so early in the morning that I'm beating the sun there! As you can see, it is dark in front of me, and the sun is starting to rise behind me.

I'm addicted to taking pictures while driving.

I had a migraine alllll day today. So, instead of doing homework/studying for quizzes/catching up on reading, I laid (layed?) on the couch all day. Chazzie, being the mama's boy that he is, hung out with me until I began to feel better...which was the next morning.

Blah blah blah...view from the bridge at I.C.C.

We've been watching a lot of "The Big Lebowski" lately, especially since we rented, never returned, and consequently "purchased" it...

Anyway, I found this honest to God tumbleweed outside of The Coffee House where I was doing some homework. It was weird. And, awesome. It doesn't seem to care about anything, though.

I was able to peel an orange in one piece today!! Granted, it was a clementine, so it doesn't really count...but I was excited. So, shutup.

Today, the cats took the liberty of peeing under the sink. Chris and I decided to put baby locks on the cabinets, so the cats would not be able to get in...the baby locks we bought suck balls. So, I read that cats hate the sound and the feeling of foil on their paws. I lined the shit out of the bottom of the sink with foil. They haven't peed under there since...(crossing fingers).

Tonight Chris and I opened a bottle of our wedding beer. It was delicious. :)

Today I came into Peoria, had class, took a typing test for a position at OSF, then dropped by my mom's house to pick up some mail. I grabbed my phone, locked the car using the lock button on the driver side door, got out and closed the door. Yeah, the keys were still inside. Luckily for me Olivia didn't have school that day, so I had someone to hang out with until Chris could come unlock my car for me. So, these are the glorious keys (janitor sized) after they were back in my hands.

Chris is taking Art 110 and had to construct a box with a lid that told his teacher all about him. This is the inside of the lid, on the top of the lid was a painting of a wedding band, our wedding date, and he wrote "holding it all together". :)

Today was my second day of classes. I was tired as shit. You can tell.

My clementine was hitting on me.

First day of school. Pretty empty parking lot seeing as my classes start at 8 a.m. But, it was really beautiful.

New 11$ shoes. They hurt, but I think I fixed 'em. They're pretty.

So, this picture didn't turn out quite right. I was trying to show my new backpack and also my "thumbs up" showing my approval of the new backpack. It looks like I'm thumbing my front teeth and the backpack is barely in the shot. Oh well. You get the idea.

Olivia's dance team had a "psych-up" (dinner and fun before a game...school spirit) and Macolm was teaching the girls how to dance. It was hilarious.

Kind of a boring pic, but this is what it looks like a few blocks down from my house. They're building shit.

The "toy" topic on flickr gave me this idea for a picture. She's my little green m&m dispenser! I got her in New York, and I absolutely love her.

Not exactly the most exciting picture, but tonight Chris and I sat back, had dinner, and watched Terminator 3. Ah, the classic. Chris and I went and saw this in the theatres when we were first dating. How awesome. :)


*edit* p.s.~ those are Chris' feet.... :)

Tonight I had dinner with some of the girls from One World, including my manager, Monica, who is due to have baby Noah on February 1st. I wish I had gotten a picture of all of us, but I forgot. This was also the night of the crazy rainstorms and thunder and lightning. On the ride home I was using 15 second exposures trying to capture the lightning flashes. It didn't work. :/

But, I got this instead, and it turned out kind of cool.

Today I went to my sister's dance competition at Richwoods. She's on the competition dance team for her school, and she's absolutely amazing. She the jumper on the right. As you can clearly see, she is by far the best one.
