Ketchup!

It's time to play catch up. For the first time since before May, we will be at home for 2 weeks in a row. We won't be going home to Columbia, we won't be going out of town to visit any friends, and we don't have much in the way of plans for the next two weekends. I am unusually excited about that. I typically hate to not have plans or something to look forward to. However, I am incredibly anxious to catch up on things that have been put aside for the last few months.

We will of course watch Mizzou play this Friday night. And then this weekend Justin's friend Bill is coming to visit, but that doesn't involve much of anything planned out. The following weekend we might hit up The American Royal (big BBQ thing in KC). Other than that...CATCH UP!

And because I know you are DYING to know what kind of things I need to catch up on - here is my list...

-cleaning the house

-doing laundry - although we have done an all right job at keeping up with this over the weeks.

-catching up the blog with some picture posts

-cleaning out my car

-finally unpacking the suitcases that we have basically lived out of for the last few months.

-get back into the gym routine (this is A MUST!!)

-watching college football. I have missed a lot since I have been to the Mizzou games.

-balance the checkbook (ick)

-update the iphone/iphone

-grocery shop

That's all I can think of at the moment, but I think all of that will keep me quite busy this weekend.

Big Brother

In the last couple of years, I have become a HUGE Big Brother fan. Tonight was the season finale of the 11th season.

First and foremost, I want to point out Julie Chen's outfit for the evening. She looked like she was wearing a Snuggie. No joke. I know that she is VERY pregnant, but a snuggie look alike???

If you didn't watch it, I can't find a pic of her in the outfit...but trust that it was definitely snugg-a-licious!

Secondly, GO JORDAN!! I was so happy that she won. I thought she was so cute. I would have loved to have seen Jeff win. I think that he played the best game overall, but since he got the boot a couple of weeks ago I had to be team-Jordan.

I was so anti-Natalie that it was not even funny. I was incredibly happy when Ronnie called her out for being the most two-faced liar in the house. She played everyone. She talked about aligning herself with strong competitors. Yeah, she aligned herself with those people so that they would win the competitions and do her dirty work. She never made major moves in the house because she never had to win competitions.

I won't bore anyone with my love of Big Brother anymore, but I cannot wait for the next season (whenever the heck that is!). I might just have to watch some episodes on youtube of previous seasons that I didn't watch.

iPhone!

Justin and I are the proud owners of 2 brand new Apple iPhones 3Gs. We are very excited!

We just got them yesterday afternoon while we were at home in Columbia. We fought over who had to drive the 2 hours home while the other fiddled with their new phone. Needless to say, I won. :)

I am so anxious to find everything out about it. I have an iTouch, but I basically just used it as an ipod. Now I am on the search for the coolest (and free!) apps out there. If you have any suggestions, let me know.

I am sure there will be many blog updates from my iphone...I just have to figure out how to do that. I am sure there is an app for that. Ha!

I was a little sad to dump the Blackberry. It was an AWESOME phone. I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to get the cutting edge technology. :)

Now that we have iPhones, we are really wishing we would have bought a Mac Book last week when we purchased our new computer. We bought a PC instead. Oh well.

On a budget friendly note - don't buy cell phone accessories from your cell phone provider. Ebay has some FABULOUS! deals. We got a wall charger, 2 car chargers, a computer charger, 6 screen protectors, and a chrome case (pink - can't wait to show that off!!) all for just 17.00. I didn't look at the price of chargers in the store, but the dinky little silicone cases were like $28. No thanks, I will get my stuff off of ebay and save TONS of money.

Keep checking back....my blog should be completely made over sometime this week. It's going to be amazing!!!

And I am not sure why blogger is not formatting this post like I want it. Sorry there are no spaces between the paragraphs. blah, blogger.

M-I-Z! Z-O-U!

College football started this week and I could not be more excited about that!

I love me some University of Missouri Tigers. I always have and always will. I have to admit that it has been nice being a Mizzou fan when they have been having success in the last few years, but I was a fan during the tough times also. My dad has been taking me to games for as long as I can remember. For all the Mizzou fans out there (anyone?), I can remember the first time that my dad let me and a friend sit on the hill by ourselves. We thought we were hot stuff! :)

Mizzou played in St. Louis Saturday again Illinois. Mizzou v. Illini in STL is a fairly recent tradition. They started doing that in 2002. Last I heard, next year could be the final year of the "contract." It's been nice having a pretty good game as the season opener. I would rather them be tested in the first game than play a rinky dink school and stomp all over them. Although, Mizzou sorta stomped all over Illinois on Saturday. Ha.

There were some great games this weekend on top of the Mizzou game. The Big 12 did well...Oklahoma and Colorado were the only two teams that lost. I am never too sad to see OU lose, but I am VERY sad to see that their QB (Sam Bradford) was injured. That makes me incredibly sad because he chose to stay at OU instead of going to the NFL.

I am just so excited that the season has begun. I could go on and on about it. I am sure there will be more posts as the season goes on. We have season tickets to Mizzou so we get to test those out for the first time this coming up weekend. I am super excited!! :) GO TIGERS!

Good ole Facebook!

Once again, I got this amazing piece off of someone else's blog. Someday I will get my own material. Until then, thanks Michelle!! :)



Good stuff!! Haha!!
