Phat Tuesday's

Welcome to another edition of Phat Tuesday's! First off thank you all for voting it was a big success and before I get to the winners and the next match ups, I want to say some things. First I was forced to issue a penalty on a certain blogger that blogger is remaining nameless, secondly all results are final, and third you guys are awesome, and finally you MUST vote for ONLY one person you can't say "i vote for both" or combine the two names like Seaspy, that was one I got last week. I counted them for rd 1 but if you do it again they will not count. I have to say it's a good thing Bruno's dead rat wasn't in the running I have a feeling the rodent would have ran away with it. On to the ELITE 8!

I was uncertain how to match you all up, from the beginning the idea was to run it like a NCAA tournament bracket. That means you would go head to head vs the person directly below you, but a redraw wasn't a bad idea either. So here is what I did I flipped a coin heads being a redraw tails being the original plan, and after a best of three it came out tails two times. So, you are now matched up with whoever was below you. Like last week please vote for each match up in the comments, and you may vote more then once and voting ends Monday Dec 5th at 11:58pm On to the matchups!

LETS GET IT STARTED HA LETS GET IT STARTED IN HERE.

Lots to be thankful for.

First off I have to say sorry to Nutty for being a bloghog but I had planned on writing this so sorry. Secondly Happy Thanksgiving all you crazy blog kids out there, it has truly been a pleasure getting to know each and every one of you through your personalities on blog. I hope you all have a GREAT holiday.

Alright, so with this being THANKSgiving I have a lot to be thankful for, my family, my friends, my blog friends, kristen(not Laguna girl), but most importantly my health. Thanksgiving is a special time for yours truly, and I am going to get sappy here for a minute so try and hang on. It was 16 yrs ago to the day I was recovering from a major operation at IU medical Center down in Indianapolis, no turkey for me that Thanksgiving as I was trying to fight of the anaesthetic. I was given the most special gift that turkey day, that a father can give a son, that being life. Most of you don't know this story about me, and it would take too long to actually sit here and write it all, so I will just give you the cliff notes of the whole ordeal. 16 years ago today, so this is kind of like my kidney's birthday, I had a kidney transplant as I was diagnosed with Renal Failure. After testing my whole family my father was chosen to give me one of his kidneys. I was 12 years old at the time, and I honestly don't remember much other then being a tad scared. However I made it thru just fine and here I am today a normal, well some might argue that, 28 yr old guy. I can do everything most people can do, and by looking at me you'd never be able to tell I had a transplant, unless I show you my scar. If that is happening we're getting too intimate and well I doubt any of you will see it haha! So, as you can see I am very thankful when this holiday comes around for my health, and to just be alive. If any of you have any additional questions about this I have no problems talking about, just drop me a note in the comments. Thanks for allowing me to share this story with you. Now, why don't you share with me 1 reason why you're thankful this Thanksgiving.

Have a Phat-tastic Thanskgiving everyone, make sure to gobble til ya wobble. :) And don't forget to vote!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Eat a lot, drink a lot and have a lot of fun!!! =) Long weekends rock. See everyone Monday. DON'T FORGET TO VOTE!!!

Phat Tuesday's!

Welcome to Phat Tuesday's once again making Tuesday's the best damn day in the world, okeh not really. So, last weeks Phat Tuesday's entry wasn't that exciting so I am going for an interactive entry this week, and before I say anymore this is all in fun and if you lose sorry boutcha. Alright, on to the show!

With the start of college basketball I got to thinking about one of my favorite times of the year which is March Madness, AKA the NCAA tournament. During this time one of the biggest things is doing office pool tournament brackets, and I thought hmm I could do that with blog. So, i'd like to welcome you to the 2005 Blog Madness tournament! Here is how this will work, please follow the rules or you will be disqualified and have to wait until 2006 to play. I have 16 blog links, this is not counting my reality blog, or the Purdue blog(he hasn't updated in 2 months). This is how it wil work, last night I put all your names down on a piece of paper, then cut them out and placed them in a brown paper bag and shook it, shook it good. I then proceeded to draw names out to establish the first round match ups. I wanted to be fair so I did it this way rather then just match you up. I will, in a minute post the match ups then the process turns over to you. You will go to the comments and pick a winner for each match up. I will start things off so there shouldn't be any confusion. This isn't like an ordinary election, you may stuff the ballot box and vote as many times as you like depending on how competitive you are. The 8 winners of round 1 will move on to round 2 next Tuesday in the elite 8, and so on, until we have one winner and that person will win a PHAT-Tabulous prize! So as michael buffer would say,

LETS GET READY TO RUMBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

THE SWEET 16
Cher vs. Shannon
Steph vs. Fiona
Seahag vs. Spygal
Skiing Red vs. TGP
Gareth vs. Mike H.
Bruno vs. Design Goddess
Princess Enforcer(batty) vs. Aussie Transplant
Mr. Shife vs. Fraggle Rock(Dana)

*disclaimer please nobody get upset with this it's all in good fun!

SO ROCK THE VOTE!! You must vote for each match up, and come back next week to see results. Voting closes at 11:59pm next Monday(nov 28th) This only works if you all vote :) If you need too you can visit any of the links to help you decide. Sorry linking all of these was too much work, and well I am lazy.

Relatives = Guilt Trips

For starters I will update you, I know you are all waiting with baited breath. The BOILERS WON!!! 41-14 retaining the old oaken bucket for another year woohoo! More on this later.

Alright so my relatives are all in town from Atlanta Georgia for the Thanksgiving holiday. It's good because these are the cool, fun relatives, but it's bad because now my mom expects me to hang out with them like 24/7. It hasn't started off good either as I skipped out today to go to Bloomington for the bucket game, and then headed straight to West Lafayette for the basketball game. I am sure the guilt trips will be starting soon, that is usually how it works as my mom will tell me they are only in town so long and really want to see me. My mother is very good at laying on te guilt. The next problem is I am working Mon, Tues, and Wed night at the center, and the family wants a picture of all the grandchildren. Well, the problem, my cousin Shawn will only be in town for 1 day Tuesday and guess who can't be there then? Yep, me, so I said hey come on out to the center thinking they would be like no that's okeh, and they are actually considering it. I am really hoping they don't, but I have a bad feeling they will. That's all I need about 20 relatives coming to my place of employment for a picture that will no doubt turn into a three ring circus! The other problem my aunt and uncle that live in town irritate me to NO end. They really walked all over my mom a few years ago after my grandma's injury, and for that I will not forgive them. Not to mention their kids drive me nuts as well, they are spoiled brats and pretty much annoy the hell out of me. So, tomorrow I will be spending pretty much ALL day at my grandma's house lucky me, maybe i'll get lucky and we'll have a snowstorm and the roads will be unpassable?? Hey one can dream right? Have I mentioned I hate thanksgiving, i'd be content being by myself eating a tv dinner and sleeping it off! The good thing is my parents are hosting the event this year, so the house won't be a freaking sauna like it always is at my grandma's. I am ready for thanksgiving to be over. So, blog friends what are your plans for turkey day?

Well, football season came to an end today for the 2005 season and it ended with the Boilers on a three game winning streak. It sucks that we could not have found a way to win either at Minnesota or against Northwestern, because I truly believe we are better then both of those teams, but maybe this was good for the long run and will make us more hungry for next season. It was just a beautiful day for football, not to cold and the Boilers win great combo. As I sat there watching my beloved Boilers trounce the losers from down south I thought college football is the best thing ever haha. With this being not that bad of a road trip of course a lot of Purdue fans made the trip, as well as the band, and that always makes road games more fun. So, we now turn the focus to basketball season, sorry for those of you who thought I was done talking sports! The Matt Painter era officially got underway tonight at Mackey Arena with the Boilers opening the season with a win over Wofford, way to go Coach Painter! The paint crew looks awesome with black shirts I might add.

I don't really have anything else to write about, I was hoping my new buddy Cher would freaking get online and talk to me! For those that don't know it, Cher and Rob are going to adopt me, and name their new born Evertt Phats. Speaking of CONGRATS again you two! I hope everyone has a great Sunday! I leave you with one LAST image from football season, enjoy.
Phats

Go to HELL IU!! BTFU

It's almost game day so I thought I better do my post, so here goes. We're playing for the bucket tomorrow, 1pm at IU and I am hoping we romp! In rivalry games though you never know what can happen, and we haven't played that great at IU in the past, but still we're 7-1 vs the shitty team from the south, seriously they are changing their name to that, under Tiller. In the state of Indiana you are either a Purdue fan or an IU fan, split pretty evenly. Sure we have that catholic college but honestly if you aren't from South Bend you don't really give a damn about them. Lets take a look at the two teams for tomorrow's game.

Purdue was suppose to be going into this game battling for the Big Ten title, instead we are battling for pride. We're not used to this, this is usually a game for us to move up in the bowl line up. This year we will not qualify for a bowl, so unfortunately this our bowl game. To say this was a disappointing season is an understatement, but we have a chance to close with 3 straight wins. That to me is big, and would be a great springboard into next season. IU on the other hand started out 4-0 and were bragging how they were the new superpower of the state YA RIGHT! Lets take a look at who they beat, week 1 Central Michigan(21-14) Nichollas State and had to come from behind to beat this team who had like 3 practices total, Kentucky, man have they won a game, and Illinois. Ya not exactly the schedule of champions. I believe Purdue will win this game, but I am not going to predict the score. Here is a helpful reminder of what happened last season.

Have I mentioned how much I love Indiana weather? I really hope you can read the sarcasm here folks. One day we have a tornado warning and the next we have snow?!? So, I was working at the center during the tornado warning, it was me and 4 other of the tennis pros, and the siren starts going off and I think oh shit here we go again. Luckily we had no classes going on or we'd really been scrambling to safety. The best part was there was this polish guy that works there, and he was like see ya guys, and I was like where do you think you're going?? They were reporting a tornado possibly on the ground he was driving to another county that was also under a warning so I didn't let him go. Can I just tell you that siren is LOUD!! I am thankful for it, but good god it's loud, my ears are still ringing! The tornado never hit where I was, so as you can tell I survived, and now it's 28degrees and flurries lovely!? I have to apologize to my favorite blog guy Mr. Shife, I had no clue he had updated his blog. I kept going and seeing the same concert blog and I thought damn update! I didn't think to hit refresh and when I did low and behold he had like 5 different entries, so sorry man, and GO VANDALS! Not sure if you have a rivalry game this week, who is your rival Boise State? BTW I am working on something for Tuesday, I will need your help to make it a success :) I bet you're all excited now aren't ya!

Alright Boilermaker fans one last time for football season*basketball starts saturday* It's time to

BOILER UP!!!

"Hail Hail to old Purdue all Hail to our old gold and black
Hail Hail to old Purdue our friendship may she never lack
Ever grateful ever true thus we raise our song a new*FIRE UP!
of the days we've spent with you, all Hail our PURDUE
GO BOILERS!"
BTFU/POTFH

Another Secret About the Nutta

So I know you have all gotten those emails about getting to know you better. The email has numerous questions you answer about yourself. Well Seahag sent me one and what the heck I'll fill it out. One of the questions was "32. What are you afraid of?" and I answered "aliens....real and fake" and you want to know what her response was? LoL "-real aliens cracked me the hell up!!!!!"

This is serious!! I'm terrified of aliens!! LoL. This all started back in the day when Unsolved Mysteries was on TV and they had segments on alien sightings and crop circles all that crazy stuff. Well you know everything you see on TV is real. So yes I do believe!!

So getting to the fake aliens. I'm terrified of them also!! One day I was out mattress shopping with my friend out on the east side (well you know all the crazies are on the east side =) ) and well this one store was having a great sale on mattresses. So we pulled up in the parking lot and it was some cheesy store and they had a fake alien statue out in front along with other gay statues and I said "put the car in reverse and get the hell out of here!" I couldn't shop in a place with a fake alien out front. Geez.

So my question is...What are you afraid of?

Welcome to rivalry week kids

First off an explanation on the last post, although I was a bit disappointed more people didn't know what it was. To those of you who knew what it was you get a gold star, so here you go Dana and Nutty. The rest of you well uhh NO STAR FOR YOU! That was the old oaken bucket, and it's the traveling trophy awarded for the winner of the annual Purdue/indiana football game. Purdue and IU are BITTER rivals, and I can truly say I HATE IU.

Alright so here is some background on the old oaken bucket. "The bucket was found, in a bad state of repair and covered with moss and mold, on the old Bruner farm between Kent and Hanover in Southern Indiana, after the Chicago alumni groups of both Purdue and Indiana enthusiastically decided in 1925 that a traditional trophy for the winner of the gridiron clash would be appropriate Russell Gray of Purdue and Dr. Clarence Jones of Indiana were given the task of finding a suitable trophy. They recommended that "an old oaken bucket would be a most typical trophy from this state and should be taken from a well somewhere in Indiana. The bucket was presented as a prize by the late George Ade, distinguished humorist from Purdue, and the late Harry Kurrie, then president of the Monon Railroad, representing Indiana. The first game ended in a 0-0 tie, resulting in the "I-P" link attached to the bucket. Since then, there have been 52 "P" links, 25 "I" links and two additional "I-P" links attached to the chain. While the presentation of the trophy dates back 75 years, the bucket itself is more than 100 years old." This quote was taken from the Purdue website. Last year's game was won by the Boilers 63-24 and it wasn't that close.

So there is your history lesson for today kids. This is the best week in football it is known as rivalry week when all those special rivals play, ie OSU/UM, Purdue/iu, etc etc etc. I hate iu I hate everything about them, I don't care what sport I am doing if I am going against an IU grad I want to win, no I want to kill them. Whether it be checkers, cards, basketball, tennis I want to ground them into the ground :) This rivalry used to be all about basketball, and as a side note Gene Keady is the only big ten coach to have a winning record vs bob knight. This was back before Purdue football got good. Now the football game has become tons of fun for Purdue fans since under Tiller we own a 7-1 record against the stupid hoosiers. The one loss was a fluke, when we played in a monsoon and were held on a 4th and goal. Also the IU cheerleaders are cows, that is why they put grass back on their field so they could graze at timeouts!

So this week is special, remember to root on the Boilers, because losing this one hurts more then losing any other game. It's bragging rights for one full year, and I hope we keep them yet again!BOILER UP!

GO PURDUE FUCK IU!

Phat Tuesdays

This will be STAYING PUT!!!

Oh what a feeling.......

I am in love

Everybody Cut Footloose

I have a secret. Promise not to tell? Okay, I LOVE 80's movies. I know...I'm a dork. Friends of mine make fun of me, but come on...they are soooooo good.

So tonight I sat down and watched Footloose. What a great movie!!! I haven't watched this movie in years. I remember when I was a little girl watching this movie with my momma. Yeah at the time I didn't know what it was all about, I just liked watching the dancing! I get excited when I see big name stars like Sarah Jessica Parker (one of my favorite actresses) who at the time was a no-name, but now a huge star.

So is anyone else in love with Footloose Kevin Bacon???? He was also hot in Mystic River...yumm.

Well not too much went on this weekend. Went up to Kokomo to visit my family and then hung out with Phats Saturday night and made some fun phone calls...lol

Well off to bed....Oh hey, Mr. Shife...I watched Can't Buy Me Love over the weekend and when I saw Cindy Mancini I thought of you!! LoL I was reading her bio, and she didn't do much after that movie except marry and have kids.

Night everyone.

BTFU Friday

Finally after breaking the losing streak we have two games left and we should win both. Saturday is Illinois, and they are bad, so if we lose this one you might wanna call nutty and put her on suicide watch. This is the last home game, however I will be making the trip next weekend to Bloomington for the Old Oaken Bucket game where the boilers will kick some hoosier ASS. I am sad that football season is over, for two reasons one this was not the season we expected, and two there is absolutely NOTHING better then college football. Espcially when it comes to atmosphere. So, GO BOILERS KILL ILLINI Saturday. :)

I got to chat with a new friend today, you know her as Cher, if you don't I invite you to take a look at her blog. She is in the links section. Seriously this lady is very very cool, and I am glad she and I have become friends. Her husband Rob is going to work on my car too. So, thanks for talking with my Cher, I look forward to many more chats, and yes I am truly laughing out loud when I talk with you because you are THAT funny!

All I got for you tonight, oh yeah HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHANNON!! I hope you won big.

Prediction time
Purdue 42
Illinois 17

REMEMBER TO

PS thanks to seahag for the help :)

Phat Tuesdays

Welcome to Phat Tuesdays everyone, I am going to make Tuesdays the coolest day of the week. Okeh not really but I thought I would try to do something somewhat original, well besides rip off a bar's name except with a different spelling. On to the show!

First though I want to clear up something that is causing a lot more drama then I thought it would. Someone on blog took a phrase of MINE, not just any phrase an original phrase that I made up and used it on their blog, in the wrong context I might add. Don't worry about who did it because I have had a talk with this person and it's all cleared up. So, if you and I have not talked about it then you don't need to worry. Thanks for your support, sorry if I was a gossip tease(I liked that avery haha)

Do you remember in High School when you were getting ready to graduate and you get those "most likely" surveys to fill out, like most likely to succeed or what not. I thought it would be fun to do that with my blog links! haha! As always feel free to add your own in the comments.

DISCLAIMER: This is all in fun, and a joking manner if anyone is offended to you I say GET BENT!

Mike H -- Most likely to get hit in the head with a hockey puck, ala Ross on Friends, and have it be the best day of his life because it was hit by Todd Bertuzzi.

Dana -- Most likely to become an Indianapolis Colts Cheerleader! (a little sarcasm here)

Mr Shife -- Most likely to appear on Fox News running naked thru the airport in Mexico desperately searching for a shitter

Cher -- Most likely to get high from sniffing what she thought was a butter stick

Shannon -- Most likely to appear on girls gone wild, Philly Eagle Fanatics edition, then after becoming famous from it, representing T.O.

Spygirl -- Most likely to appear on America's Most Wanted for whacking a poor defenseless girl from the real orange county.

Batgirl -- Most likely to get arrested for stalking Madonna, hmm batty you aren't by any chance talking with a british accent are you?

Skii -- Most likely to quit her job and become a groupie for Led Zep.
Chad -- Most likely to appear on ESPN's world poker tournament, and give all his winnings to phats
Izzy -- Most likely to become the first female President of the US

Gareth -- Most likely to have a restraining order filed against him, don't get into the car kids no matter how much candy he offers!

Seahag -- Most likely to be captured by the men in white suits carrying nets for ingesting such crazy shit like SPAM and BLOG weeks, maybe you'll have a padded cell next to Michael Jackson?

Steph -- Most likely to become the next Dr Sue Johanson and host TALK SEX on the oxygen network.

Bruno -- Most likely to move to Indiana and marry Nutty!

Aussie -- Most likely to open an all vegemite product restaurant in the states.

TGP -- Most likely to become a pirate in her second life

Design Goddess -- Most likely to be caught on videotape using an actual human as a pinata(inside joke here)

Nutty -- Most likely to get arrested for egging a yellow mini cooper, only to have the FEMALE office her let her go after hearing the whole story.

Phats - Why most likely to succeed of course duh? and marrying the love of his life Kristen :) Or take over for one of the boys in Rascal Flatts, and have them rename the band to Rascal Phats(thanks seahag)

So since I am so happy after the big win this past Saturday I am ending every post this week with a big

BTFU!!!

Ooops!

Well, lets see I promised a post last night when I got home from celebrating, but uhh I just got home now haha :) So here is the promised post. First off I have some people to thank, be sure to start the music when I run too long like the emmy's do. Nutty thanks again for keeping the blog up and running and making me almost piss myself from laughter, hopefully the great posts will keep coming. We will make our trip to DA REGION soon! Mike H, I will pray extra hard for the canucks! If they sacrificed a win for my boilers man that is true friendship, I owe you a BIG ONE! The rest of you thanks for blogging and giving me something to read and laugh at, especially you seahag and shife your blogs crack me up! Thanks to all of the rest of you for wishing well wishes for the Boilers, okeh this post is officially turning sappy so I am going to move on.

I felt good yesterday going into the game that we would win, I dunno why I just did. Maybe because we were due, or maybe cuz the season officially ended with the loss to Penn State. So, the game started at noon, I got there around 8ish to tailgate my ass off, and I was dead tired thanks to design goddess keeping me up way too late the night before. Gareth get your mind out of the gutter geesh! What a great day for football it was, and yes I mean football not that european crap called sissy soccer. It was in the upper 60's and for Indiana in November that is warm, although they were calling for severe weather :( The game started out bad, very bad as Michigan State took the opening kicked off marched right down the field and scored and I thought oh shit here we go again, as well as everyone else around us. Never fear though the Boilers showed true heart & grit and eventually tied it, and then it happened. We had a second and goal from the 8 and our QB goes back to pass gets sacked the ball pops loose and a MSU player scoops it up and starts running. Thankfully Brandon Jones has him and is tackling him then OH NO the ball comes loose yet again and another MSU player picks it up and runs 50 yards for a TD halftime score MSU 21 Purdue 14. I think everyone thought this just isn't our year crazy crap has been happening like this all year. Most fans thought we'd fold after that and mail it in, but no, not our boilermakers. They not only tied the game at 21 all they took the lead with 12 mins to go, and I started thinking we might actually do it! Fast forward to the last series MSU ball no timeouts, clock winding down, and finally the defense does it. Bernard Pollard intercepts the MSU QB game over BOILERS WIN! I can't even tell you how happy I was, tears almost came. Ross Ade stadium was going absolutely nuts, you'd think we had just won the big ten title. It was neat to see, and a big weight lifted off the shoulders. So we should win our last two and finish 5-6, nowhere near where we should be, but if we can keep the bucket that will help ease the pain a bit. We are a 8-3/7-4 team not 5-6, but sometimes growing pains help a team learn, we'll see when next season rolls around. Oh to have both 4th and goals back vs Minny and NW, but we're playing for next year now. Some observations about the atmosphere, it was nice to see the fans REALLY get into this one especially late in the 4th. The MSU band made the trip pretty good band actually, not as good as the AAMB though sorry boutcha. Got to talk to several of the cheerleaders although bummed not going to a bowl they are still having fun. It rained briefly in the second quarter, it was pretty comical watching the cheerleaders put on their rain slickers and as soon as they got them on it stopped raining, oh takes me back! GO BOILERS!

So, after the game went out to celebrate with a group of Boiler friends and Kristen, and well didn't come home :) I am so bad! Although you are not getting any details, so sorry kids use your imagination. Lets see, this was a Purdue weekend, went to the Womens basketball game Friday night they won 82-40, then the football game as mentioned they won 28-21, and the mens game earlier today left early though, but they did win 94-80. Great weekend for Purdue sports.

I want to touch on a topic that might offend someone, but I am going to do it anyway. I am not trying to do this to start shit or be a total prick but I think it's something that needs to be mentioned. While on strike I would read all your blogs and thank you for keeping me entertained, but one certain blog used a phrase. Nothing wrong with that right? Well they used this phrase without having a clue what it meant, or the context in which to use it. To me that is wrong, if you're going to say something at least know what the phrase you're saying means and how to use it. I am not going to name names, hopefully they know who they are and won't use it again, or at least try to find out the proper meaning before ever using it again. Alright I am stepping off my soapbox now. Also I would like to say to spygal who called me out saying I crossed lines of my strike by blogging on my other blog, and I say to her NO I DIDN'T :) I figured it was okeh to start that because it's all about reality tv and nothing to do with my life, except the quiz which I had to do to win the bet with Gareth. Besides the strike was restricted to this blog. Also to spy I am making a public plea to save Kristen's life, Kristen from Laguna Beach not my Kristen, and if she has to die by way of shark, I want to go with her hahahahaha :)
One other developement I unblocked KJ and for about a month it went well, but got into this HUGE fight and well she is blocked again. This time I have decided that if I unblock her that Design Goddess, Nutty, Steph, and Seahag, and hell whoever else wants too, get to kick my ass. KJ is not good or healthy for me, and I need to cut her from the diet program! The temptation is still there but I am trying not to give in.

I believe that's all I have for today, it's been three weeks so sorry if this is too long. Design Goddess your floorplan is in the mail! Thanks again for all the support for the Boilers! Oh yeah, don't forget the Simpsons tree house of horrors tonight at 8pm on Fox :)

BTFU

It's good to be back!

One sad note to leave you with, at least 12 people died last night in a tornado in Evansville, IN. It's very uncommon for us to have this kind of weather in Nov, but our whole state was under the gun last night. I have been thru a tornado and they are scary enough, but to have it happen at 3am when everyone is sleeping in the dark is even scarier. My thoughts and prayers go out to all that lost someone in these violent storms last night.

I AM BACK BITCHES!

Aren't Friday's the Best?!

So I made it to Friday!! Oh and I have a half day so that is even better!! I have to go to an eye doctor appointment boy o boy. Then head down to the south side to pick up my registration packet for the 4-miler walk tomorrow. I'm nervous about this as I haven't been that active since my ankle injury. However, I did go to aerobics last night and made it out without any pain, so I'm sure I'll be okay for tomorrow. I love doing these walks. They are so much fun =)

Then after my walk tomorrow my parents are coming down and taking me to the Zoo. LoL i feel like a little kid. My mom really wants to see the new baby elephant look at it's ears!! LoL

So let's hope Purdue has a victory tomorrow against Michigan State at home. So I don't know any stats or that bs as I'm not a football person......... so GOO PURDUE.. LoL

Everyone have a great weekend!!

Just One Of Those Days
