today i got this...

 & this was inside..

yeah : )

b o w l i n g

yesterday it was my turn to plan something for me & jesse to do!

he got off at 8:30 (after all the cute coffee shops close.. humph)

so i had to think of a late-night extravaganza.

so of course i picked bowling because:

1. it's like.. jesse's most favoritest thing ever

2. we're both really bad at it

3. we haven't been bowling since prom 2010. see below:

 yesterday:

yeah that name on the bottom says "julia"

i beat him.

3 times.

zing.

happy tuesday everyone!

antiques

today jesse & i went antique shopping

& i found this amazing spoon ring that i managed to find at 30% off!

woooooo!! thank you nana for the 

christmas money you gave me! 

it's a ring.. made out of a spoon!!

here is jesse thoroughly enjoying this... thing..

then jesse went to work & i went home to clean my room.

but i got momentarily distracted polarizing these clips:

i wonder how long they'll stay polarized. OO000oooOO

then i rediscovered this amazing present maggie got me for my birthday..

an earring holder thing!

the best part is she made it.

painted the frame & inserted the middle part.

awww she rocks my tube socks!

(the earrings jesse got me aren't there because i was & still am wearing them) :)

i also found this poster rolled up in the corner of my room:

kinda love it.

quote of the day: 

"jesse is a real man. he's not one of those metro guys 

pretending to be a man. he's a real one" -my mom

beautiful things

i hope you enjoy this as much as i did.

ipod story 5

first, in regards to my previous post, 

i forgot to take pictures with the lovely caitlin, 

but it was still a really great time!

she got her bangs cut & here is a creeper photo of her 

taken from facebook:

CUU-IIIT

oh & the one on the left is Emily :)

she is also a friend of mine at school in Madison!

now onto my ipod's experience.

this was that fateful day of our first snowfall.

(i changed the contrast to you couldn't tell how much a paid..

i'll just tell you anyway 3.49!! WHAT WAS I DOING?

i drove around later only to find i had paid 20 cents more per gallon

than every single other gas station that day. fail.)

 SO GUESS WHAT HAPPENED TO RUSS

no it wasn't his birthday...

no it wasn't elliot's birthday...

HE GOT A F U L L SCHOLORSHIP TO Y A L E ! !

AND I CAN'T EVEN SPELL SCHOLARSHIP!

this is what nerdy people get for each other when they

have a nerdy accomplishment:

yeah so anyway our friend elliot & i took him out for dinner to celebrate the good news

and great accomplishment. we are so proud.

(um yeah also elliot got a full ride to madison..)

im just penny i guess.

(big bang theory anyone?)

want to know something suuper embarrassing?

i was the only one who finished eating... never expected that...

in my defense i had a small plate of ravioli!!

then guess what i did the next day....

 SUSHI WITH MARY!

oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah 

it was yummy & so fun!

mary is a lot of great things but mostly she's smart.

she likes asking about my future & helping me with decisions.

she's wise & has a lot of good advice to give.

(and i mean she likes sushi so pretty much she's the best!)

here is carolyn at lunch.

HOW she single i have no clue!

: ) 

um yeah maggie got me this.

it rocks.

she rocks.

jesse sent me these pictures of his dog Napoleon.

whatta babe!

& now, 

the only appropriate way to successfully end a blog post...

 my favorite baby.

Supapumped

So I'm sitting at the lunch table right now getting excited
because after school I get to hang out with my friend CAITLIN
at 2:30!! Yahoo! Coffee date! I love this girl! Be expecting a
photo or two. I've missed her oh so much while she's been away
at school in missouri. It's a very sad time without her here.
Anyway sorry There aren't any pictures in this post of the
picture book (ironic) but my iPod won't allow it.
