A wonderful, but unseasonably cold weekend

I had a great weekend! Thursday night Steve and I went out with our friends Dane and Sheila to a comedy club! The comedian was super funny!



Friday was so nice! I spent my time cleaning off my porch and putting out the spring decorations. Steve and I took a walk on the nature trail across the street! On Friday evening I met my friend Jillian at one of our favorite coffee houses. Melissa Bowers, a girl who I haven't seen since high school was on spring break and happened to be in town! It was nice getting to see her again! We had a great time chatting about what we have all been up to the past few years!


On Saturday Mammy and Pappy came to visit Karlee and I here in Columbia! Of course the day they come in town it is only a high of 37 degrees and snowing of all things! But we worked around the weather and still had a great time! I took them to one of the most popular sandwich places here in town called Pickleman's. Then when Karlee got off work we picked her up and all went out to dinner at The Rome downtown! It was so yummy! Mammy and Pappy really enjoyed it! After dinner we hit up Broadway Brewery and Mammy, Pappy and Karlee each had a beer! :) We all had a very nice time!

Spring is in the Air

Spring is finally around the corner! It has been such a long and bitterly cold winter here in Missouri! I went home this past weekend and had a great time enjoying the outdoors! The crocuses are already beginning to bloom in the yard! So exciting!



Also when I went home for the weekend I had lunch over at Mammy and Pappy's house with all of my aunts and my sister! It was quite exquisite with Pappy as the head chef and all! While I was there I also received a framed print of a tiger painting...Pappy said it reminded him of the Mizzou Tigers so he gave it to me to hang in my room! It is really neat!



I hope everyone else had a splendid weekend and are enjoying this pleasant weather forecast!

True/False Film Festival

So this weekend was the True/False Film Festival. This is basically where film directors film either a documentary or a mock-umentary (a fake documentary) and it is the judges job to find out whether each film was 100% true or 100% false. After each film the directors had to get up on stage and each of the three judges got to ask them one question about their film and see if it sways their T/F decision. Steve and his friend entered a film and they made it into the top 10. These films were shown to the judges last night at the Blue Note downtown. It was fun to see all of the entries. Some of them were very tricky! It was super hard to tell if they were true or false! Steve's film was about his friend Lucas and how he knows all these people who had crazy experiences! It was called "One Degree of Separation"! His film was 100% true and he was able to trick all of the judges! He didn't win the 1st place prize money, but he did get a cute little robot man trophy! It was a fun evening! To celebrate we went to Steak 'n' Shake afterward! :)

lovely evening with a good friend

Tonight I picked up my friend Meghan from her apartment and we went to this place called the Underground Cafe (AKA The Artisan)! It was nice to catch up with each other! Even though we live in the same apartment complex, we are both hard working and very busy students and rarely saw each other last semester! We had a lovely chat while sharing freshly made spinach artichoke dip! I sipped on a vanilla latte while she enjoyed an apple cider beer! It was a good time! We are going to try and get together every week or so! She is an awesome person! I am glad we met! :)

My Little Medicine Bag

I went home this past weekend to visit my family. I ended up spending almost my entire Saturday at the Walgreen's Clinic. As it turns out I have a massive sinus infection, mostly in my ears. They are completely filled with fluid! I started taking an antibiotic on Saturday so hopefully I will be back to normal really soon! When I got back to Columbia on Sunday evening Margaret had a surprise waiting for me! While I was away her mom sent her a Valentine's Day package for us! We each got a pretty beaded medicine bag! It is perfect timing since I am on so many different medicines for my sinus infection! :) It was so sweet of her! I love it! I hope everyone had a good weekend! I did, even though I was sick throughout most of it!

My Friend Meghan's 21st Birthday

Last night I went out to celebrate my friend Meghan's 21st birthday! I met her here at Mizzou! We had a class together during my first semester here! She is so much fun! We went out to dinner at Addisons restaurant! I bought her and I an Ultimate Cosmo shot! They were tasty! Then we went on over to the Penguin Piano Bar! It was really fun! There were two awesome piano players and they could sing too! They played and sang a lot of Elton John and Billie Joel! It was an EXCELLENT evening!

Valentine's Day 2010

I had a great Valentine's Day! It was more like a Valentine's weekend! On Sunday Steve took me out to lunch and then to see a movie at the Rag Tag! It is an old vintage movie theater downtown that usually plays independent films! It is neat! I hope everyone else is having an AWESOME Valentine's Day!
