Calling all travelers!

The BFF/MOH (also affectionately called my Satan) and I are hitting the Big Apple in less then 3 weeks!

We're spending a day and a half at Hyde Park visiting my brother at the Culinary Institute of America (where he goes to school) and then off to NYC!



As neither of us have ever been we need your suggestions!
What do we visit?
Where do we eat?
Cheaply, of course.
Shopping?

Ideas people!

ah, better.

Not quite what I wanted, but at least now I won't have to re-size every single photo to fit the itty-bitty width of the last layout.

I'm currently working on a Shutterfly album for my Europe trip and I'm spending quite a bit of time, trying to figure out when we were where. I kept a journal all through London and most of Paris, but once I got two days behind it was impossible to catch up. However, only spending three days in both Poland and Switzerland makes it easier to find what I'm looking for. I've only written two pages, but I think this is going to be a great way to remember my trip and have a nice way to display it.

I miss London

For all Mac users (you know, the best kind), if you download the latest Shutterfly application for iPhoto, you will recieive a free 8x8 photo book. You still have to pay shipping and handling, though. I recently order a (free) calender through the website and pleased with the results.

Also, they sent me two when I order one.

I hate my blog.

As in, I hate the format.

I need the middle column to be bigger, but I love the three column format.

Ugh.

I need help.

Nie is back!

I started reading the Nie Nie dialogues when my google reader brought it up in their suggestion box. It was cute, endearing and I spent quite a bit of time going through her archives.

Days later, Nie and her husband where in a horrible plane crash.

The blogging world rallied around the family in a way I have never seen before.

But today NIE is back!

You can read Stephenie's amazing story here.
And to see what was going on when Stephenie was sleeping, visit her sister's Courtney here.

a move to wordpress?

might be in the making...

*EDIT*

I've been messing around with wordpress today...i don't think my blog will be moving soon, unless i move to my own domain.

bad blogger!

I was doing so well, posting five days in a row. And then last night, after watching Sydney White with the roomie, it was Zzzzzzzzz. I was so tired. This back-to-school thing is catching up with me.

It might have to do with the fact that I stayed up until 2 or 3 three in the morning and slept until I woke up over break.

Just sayin'.

Tonight is the roomie and mine's "date" night. Since it is our last semester we've decided to have one night a week where she and I just hang out.

No other friends. (but we still love you!)
No significant others.

Just me and her.

Tonight is our first "best friends" date night. We're going to see Bride Wars!

"My hair is blue! BLUE!"

Next week we are off to the lake to hang out with my grandparents and just relax. But for future dates, I think we might go see some shows in Tulsa.


This opera comes to the PAC is March!



Travel to Kansas to walk the yellow brick road.

The roomie is from Kansas.

We are also planning on hitting up the Little House on the Prarie, complete with a picnic.

It's only about 30 minutes from our school.

We have some other fun things planned--none cost over 25 dollars and I can't wait to share the pictures from all of our fun "dates." Anyone have any inexpensive fun things to do?

What's up Doc?

(horrible cartoon reference, i know. sue me.)



One of my favorite blogs to read is That Wife. Jenna is also Mrs. Avocado from Weddingbee and she also happened to marry a Pole whose family grew up close to Krakow---yay for Polish heritage and Europe! Her blog is awesome and frequently updated (unlike mine) and her newest feature is start some challenges for each month-a FOOD challenge, a PHOTOGRAPHY challenge, and a HEALTH challenge. I love this idea!

I've signed up for the health challenge. I need to make an eye appointment for my yearly check-up and then visit my doctor about a mole on my back and one on my arm. My mom had a spot of skin cancer show up on her chest last summer, and I really should went to the doctor then, but between my trip and school starting I just forgot about it. But by the end of January I will have them removed. And, bonus, the mole on my back was visible in my wedding dress and now it will be gone!

On a different note, school starts tomorrow. My last semester ever. I'm taking a World History class, a Comparative Religion course, Portfolio, Writing for Mass Media, Raquetball Activity, and a Psych/Lit course which I'm going to go crazy over. I'm now off to pay for school and buy my books.

A tour of Buckingham Palace, anyone?

Eeek! I love love love this time period.

(Seriously. I search "Queen Victoria" on etsy. I now own a fabulous pair of earrings and a darling clutch.)

So when I saw this book challenge I knew I had to participate.
The plan is read six books that where either written in this era or about this era.

1. Emma by Jane Austen
2. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte (I will get through it this time!)
3. Mesmerized by Candence Camp
4. A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libby Bray
5. The Life and Times of Victoria by Dorothy Marshall
6. Vanity Fair by Thackery (I'm going to listen to this one on my iPod. That counts right?)

Wish me luck!

want one?

Me too.
