Birds, birds, and more birds

So I bought a bird feeder a few weeks back! I hung it up hoping the birds would find it...well it has turned out to be quite a success! There are always so many birds surrounding it...I have to refill the feeder every two or three days! Right before I left to come home last Friday, I saw a big, fat squirrel underneath it eating all the seeds that the birds dropped! So cute! The majority of the birds at my feeder are sparrows, but today I saw two very small tufted titmice eating their share! :) I am so excited and happy to be helping out the birds! :)




Steve has the lead in both of the short plays! He will be performing them in a few weeks and I can't wait to see him in them! The poster came out the other day! It is awesome! :) Of course since he is the lead he is on the poster advertising for the play! :)



This week has been stressful. I have had a lot of stuff to get finished for classes! Tomorrow it is suppose to storm almost all day and on top of that there is a football game tomorrow so traffic is going to be terrible with the shuttles and everything! I just can't wait for tomorrow to be over so I can relax for a while.

I hope everyone is having a great week!

Fall Cheer

Over the weekend I decided to get some fall decorations for my living room. Karlee went with me and we each bought some mums and pumpkins for our porches and some fall decorations for inside. We had fun picking them out! After shopping we came back to my place and Karlee stayed and helped me decorate! It was so much fun! When we were all finished bringing fall cheer into my living room we cooked a really nice dinner together! We had pasta with homemade white sauce, brown sugar carrots, and some garlic bread! It was yummy!




After dinner Karlee decided that my Poilu creatures needed to have an adventure. She wouldn't let me come out into the living room because she was taking pictures of them in all different areas of my apartment! LOL :) It was so hilarious! We couldn't stop laughing!



Then we decided we should rent the movie Coraline because Karlee has never seen it. We went out to Blockbuster and got it in 3D along with some 3D glasses! It was so scary in 3D! Everything pops out at you! :)

Well back to school work for the week! Hope everyone has a good work/school week!

Campus Adventure

Last night Karlee and I went on an epic adventure! :) First we went to Memorial Union because they were giving out free Shakespeare's pizza! It was quite an experience! LOL! We then decided we wanted to take Punch for a walk around campus! It was so nice out last night! We saw some night hawks flying around Jesse Hall catching bugs! They were amazing to watch! Karlee and I sat on the Columns facing Jesse and just watched the night hawks fly around the top along with a few bats! Off in the distance we could hear the jazz piano player at the Roots and Blues Festival downtown. It was neat! We also walked around the festival for a while and smelled all the different BBQ and listened to all the different kinds of music! It was a great night! Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend! :)

Lots to do...

School is going great! I really enjoy all my classes. I already had to write one of many papers for my human cognition capstone class. The work is really starting to pile up! So for my cross culture psychology class I am suppose to interview a person who lived in a different country the first 18 years of their life. I chose to interview my former Italian teacher. She is a very interesting women and has lived in many different countries including Italy of course. I am scheduled to meet with her for coffee on Wednesday at 2pm. I am excited!

Last night Steven's friend Kalem came to visit and see a comedy show with Steve and Chad. After the comedy show I met up with them at Chad's house to play Rock Band! It was fun. When we got back to the apartments Kalem gave Steve and I a surprise! It was a balloon penguin that a lady he works with made! It is so cute! :) Well I don't have much more to say! I just got finished cleaning the apartment and get ready to head to Walgreens to get a new nail art pen! :) Hope everyone has a good weekend!

School Days

Well I started my classes! They all seem very interesting! I hope they aren't too hard. My human cognition capstone seems pretty rough! I hope I can get through it ok!

It is weird only going to school two days a week! Since I don't really have much homework yet I have just been sitting around my apartment! I am sure when the homework starts up I will have plenty to be working on during my free time!

My grandma...Mammy.... gave me this little worm family to take to Columbia with me! I have them sitting on my bedside table right next to my alarm clock! I get to wake up to their happy little faces every morning! I love them...they are so cute!



Well I don't have too much more too say! It has been a pretty relaxing weekend! Karlee came over Friday night and we made banana cookies! They are so yummy!

Hope everyone is enjoying this fall-like weather!

Back to Thinking...

I cannot believe that summer is over already! It just flew by way to fast! I will be leaving to go back to Columbia soon to start my classes! I am taking 'Emotional Disorders of Children' , 'Cross Cultural Psychology' , Anatomy and Physiology of the Speech Mechanism' , and my Human Cognition capstone where I am required to write out my own experiment and test it with people on campus. It is going to be a tough year, but I think my classes are all very interesting!

Summer was great while it lasted! Even though I worked all summer, I still made time to do almost everything I wanted to do! Just the other weekend Steve and I went to our friends' wedding. Mitch Godsey and Sarah Dankel were married on August 8th! We have known both of them since high school! I can't believe they are married! It is so crazy! Steve and I are both so happy for them!



My last day of work was on August 13th! My roommate, Margaret, came over to my house to stay with me for her birthday weekend! We had lots of fun celebrating her birthday! Steve's birthday is tomorrow, August 22nd. I already gave him his birthday present! I got him some Adidas cologne, a nice polo shirt, and a new football! He was so excited about his presents! I think he liked them a lot!




Well I am off to school really soon! I hope everyone is having a good week and a stress free transition as everyone gets back to school and all the after school activities! Tootles!

43-Into the Wild

This past weekend was so much fun! My family and I took a weekend trip to a cabin out past Steelville Missouri. It was way out in the middle of no where. This made us a little nervous because the closest hospital was an hour away. The only scare we ended up having was that Karlee was bit by a copper head through her tennis shoe. It didn't end up being too bad, but we took her to the hospital any way just to be safe. Besides that, we all had a wonderful time. The cabin was beautiful and there was a lake and many hiking trails to enjoy! We had so much fun fishing and swimming during the day and sitting around a bonfire at night!

Steve is finally home for the last three weeks of summer, so it will be nice to spend some time with him. My roommate, Margaret's birthday is coming up soon. I think she will be coming to stay with me at my house the weekend of her birthday! I can't wait to see her, I miss her a lot! It has been a long time since I have seen her!

Well I hope everyone had a good weekend! I know I did!
