Weekend Wrap-Up

Sorry I haven't been updating as often as I would like to. I'm still new to this whole blog thing, but I really am enjoying it thus far! Let me know what you like or what I should change, any help is much appreciated!!

Overall, it was a very good weekend. KU won and it was a gorgeous day for a game! Here are some pictures from the day.

This is the view of the hill from where Alex and I sat. It really is very gorgeous, especially on gameday when everyone is wearing blue! After we score the bell rings and it is really cool.

These are the new blue endzones, I'm a really big fan!

This is the campanile from up close. It is a big part of KU tradition.

A shot of the pre-game activities on the field and the crowd.

Alex and I at the game :)

After a busy day Saturday, Sunday was pretty lazy day. I got Ginsburg a shark costume for Halloween, it is so cute! Alex and I watched the Chiefs, and went to a halloween store with some friends. I LOVE Halloween!!!

We cooked dinner and of course Ginsburg was her crazy self. Anytime we cook, she gets terrified (because she is scared of everything). She won't even come in the kitchen. She runs in the bedroom and hides under the bed, it is adorable but kind of sad. Any tips for getting her over the fear?

Anyway, I'll post pictures later of her in the shark costume.

Until next time,

Peace, love and curls.

Exciting Week

2nd entry!

This has been an exciting week so far I am glad to report. I found out on Monday at work that starting the next pay period, September 28th I will be starting as a full time employee! This includes a raise and benefits. Needless to say after finding that out I was pretty much guaranteed a good week! I've been eating very healthy as I am participating in Biggest Loser 09 with Amber, as well as my friends Steven and Chelsi.

Amber and I started going on walks too, I feel very relaxed. Anyway on our walk today we decided that we are going to start a business. We have a very specific perfect work environment in mind and feel that only when we are surrounded with our friends will this be possible. Currently we are thinking a bakery/bar or a little bake shoppe. Give me feedback with your ideas.

Ginsy is her typical crazy self. Tonight Alex and I left to go get a drink at the gas station and left her out to mill around the house. When we get back she doesn't come running to the door, so naturally I assume she is doing something wrong, as she was Monday when Amber found her in her room. However, she had managed to lock herself in the bathroom! So, I live in an older house that tilts toward the center. Ginsy somehow always manages to get in the bathroom and when the door closes she cannot get out, it is soooo cute and funny! I wish I could take her to the KU football game on Saturday so everyone else could enjoy her cuteness as much as I do :)

Other than that, this has been a pretty typical week. All is well and calm. I am finally starting to understand just how much free time I am going to have now that I am not in school anymore. It is interesting and will take some getting used to, but I think I will enjoy it.

I want to leave you with a video my friend Megan showed me today. It is really interesting and really makes you think. Take the time to watch it, you will appreciate it very much.

Until next time,

Peace, love and curls.

Hello Blogosphere

Hello everyone and thanks in advance for reading!

This is my first attempt at a blog and all I can say is that I am very excited about this. I recently graduated from KU in May 2009. In an attempt to put off graduate school and not really move on with my life, I decided to get a job in Lawrence. Currently I am working at the KU bookstore, living with two great roommates, and obviously my dog Ginsburg.

Ginsburg is almost 2 years old, and I have had her ever since she was a puppy. This blog will really consist of simple, everyday stories that add humor to my life, and I hope they will bring some sense of humor to your daily routine.

Today my roommate Amber picked me up at work and we headed home. She was probably gone from our house for a total of 15 minutes. So, we get home and she yells for Ginsy and she doesn't come running from my room. Amber books it upstairs because her closet is Ginsy's favorite poop spot. We run upstairs to find the only two dishes she had in her room overturned on the floor. But that is not the silly part. So for your reference these plates are more like bowls. In the process of trying to get the food Ginsburg had overturned the plate on top of the food and could not overturn it to get the food!! We clean up the mess and head downstairs, where Ginsy proceeds to drink an entire bowl of water. Take note owners of hyper-active dogs, they get tired trying to overturn a dish for day old food.

I'll keep this post short, but I hope you have enjoyed. Stories like this and other adventures are what you can find on here. I'll also post stuff I find interesting or enjoy from time to time. So relax and enjoy.

I'll leave you with pictures for a quick photo-biography of my life.

This is Alex and Ginsburg. Alex is my boyfriend, we have been dating for 2 1/2 years. He actually got me Ginsburg for Valentines Day 2008. Best present ever. Also, in this photo Ginsburg is wearing her favorite tank-top. It has a skull on the back of it and says Killer. Alex is graduating from KU Law this December 2009.

These are my two roommates this year. Amber, in the plaid shirt has been my friend since we were in high school together in Wichita. This is our third time living together! I'm in the middle. Lacey, to my left, has been my friend since we worked together at New Student Orientation for KU in the summer of 2007. She is an avid spanish speaker and very crazy.

Peace, Love and Curls.
