Not Me! Monday

I was not up for 38 hours straight between Thursday and Saturday and then proceed to sleep for 13 hours the next day.It did not take me 40 minutes to get the mall [usually a 5-10 minute drive] because they closed 64-40 on Saturday morning, a few days early because of the storm that hit Sunday night. If I had any sense, I would have checked the news to make sure it was open.I...

Not Me! Monday

It's that time of year week again! I did not download 18 *NSYNC songs Sunday. I mean, no one listens to them anymore so why bother downloading them?I did not for .354 seconds contemplate going to the bathroom in my sink last night after some girl threw up in the hall. Even if I did, I did not justify it by telling myself that if I walked out into the hall and saw it, then...

Pepe picked my nose once...

Last night a group of us from Students for Life went to Forest Park for a hayrack ride and bonfire. It was a ton of fun! We went on a short ride through the park and then we roasted hot dogs and marshmallows for s'mores [we put the marshmallow in between two chocolate chip cookies!] Later, Caitlin, Hannah and I went rolling down a hill! Like I said, tons of fun! Here are a few...

The past few weekends in Peoria...

I figured you would like to read something other than my Not Me! Monday posts! So I'm going to fill you in on what I've been up to!A few weekends ago, I was in Peoria for Maine's [my little cousin] 3rd birthday party. Here are some pictures from it:And then I was home November 25-30 for Thanksgiving Break. I hardly had any down time! Tuesday night, I met Elizabeth, Sarah N.,...

Not Me! Monday

I did not contemplate [along with everyone in my car] e-mailing my professors to tell them that there was too much snow and that the conditions were too bad to drive in, so that I could stay in Peoria for another day/night.I did not get extremely excited when Notre Dame got a first down in the third quarter. It's not like that was their first first down of the game or anything.I...

Not Me! Monday

I did not see Twilight twice already. Nope, that would be a waste of money.I did not buy a box of 24 waffles but only eat two, and then have to throw the rest away because I don't have a freezer.I did not sleep in until 1 in the afternoon yesterday. That would be completely irresponsible of me considering all the homework I had to do.I did not offer to help bring the Billiken...

Her story is my story

Eduardo Verastegui* wants YOU to donate [or at least consider] to the Pregnant and Parenting Student Assistance Scholarship!Okay, okay, so I stole [borrowed...] this idea [and I think it's the same picture...] from Sarah while she was making the March for Life slideshow, but I think it is a very effective technique! I mean, who would say no to that face?!?What's this I hear??...

Not Me! Monday

I did not wake up early and drive back to St. Louis this morning because I wanted to stay home and sleep in my bed one more night. I did not get into a yelling match with my brother and Corey about how the media misconstrued just about everything that Sarah Palin said. Nope, not me. The election's over and it doesn't matter anymore, right? [Wrong...this bother's me to no end!]I...

Gene & Colleen's Wedding!

This whole, posting things months after they happen seems to be a trend here. Gene and Colleen's wedding was the next day [Saturday] after I had dinner with President Bush. I was going to post this soon, but with the POTUS one, the Stellan update, and the Election guideline post, I didn't want my [very few] readers to start expecting posts all the time!I guess I should give...

POTUS

A little background before I get to the main part of this post...Students for Life at SLU has started a scholarship, the Pregnant and Parenting Assistance Scholarship, for SLU students who are, as the title states, either pregnant or parenting. As of right now, once the scholarship becomes endowed, we will be able to give one student $1000 each year. That money can be used towards...

Women's National Team

So as many of you know, I am kind of a fan of the US Women's National Team [soccer]. Just a little bit :-)  I'm one of "those people" who gets up at 3 in the morning to see them play.  After last years 3rd place finish in the Women's World Cup, I was looking forward to seeing them play in the Olympics.  Leading up to the Summer Games, three players were injured...

Lake of the Ozarks

In the previous post, I talked about how I went on vacation to the Ozarks with my friend and her family.  Instead of telling you every little detail, I'll just post pictures [courtesy of Melissa because I haven't loaded mine on here yet but they're pretty much the same] and tell you a few stories :-)Melissa, Nichole, Shelbi, me and Mitch on the giant hot dogAll of us on their...

Fourth of July

This is over a month overdue, but keeping with the unspoken theme of my blog, better late than never!  This Fourth of July was spent in my home away from home, St. Louis.  I went on vacation that next week with my friend, Melissa and her family and instead of driving all the way to the Ozarks on Saturday morning, we were just going to go down Friday, stay with her grandma...

Chicago Fire vs. Columbus Crew

Again, a little late on this post, well actually I kind of forgot about this and thanks to Aubrey reminding me, people who read this will have some new posts to read!On June 10th, the Chicago Fire were in town playing the Columbus Crew at Shea Stadium.  The Sinclair's had some extra tickets so they invited me to go, thanks Sinclair's!  I was so excited! The last MLS...

The boys of summer...

So this summer I am babysitting two boys, Evan [6 years old] and Jacob [4 years old].  This week I watched them Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday but it was mainly just Jacob because Evan's in a summer day camp at Bradley.  On Monday Lexie came back out to their house with me after I dropped Evan off and we decided a new hairstyle was needed on him :-)Jacob &...

No one is older than a high school senior, and no one is younger than a college freshman....

This is a little late, but better late than never!I can't believe Zach graduated. Not that I didn't think he couldn't do it, but that it was so soon. It's been two years since I was sitting in those chairs and it doesn't feel like it's been that long! Time is flying by!My mom went super early to stand in line to make sure we got seats that had some kind of back support. My dad,...
