Dear Heidi Klum,

I don't usually watch Project Runway, but I did catch the finale last night. My question to you, Heidi, is this- What the heck were you wearing?? Let me show you what I saw:

Yikes!! Who told you that looked good? They lied to you girlfriend. That reminds me of my mom going to work in the 80's. I will say that it does look better in the piture than it did on TV, but still shouldn't be happening. Aren't you like one of the leading fashion experts in the world? If this is what is in I must be way behind. I'm ok with that though. I don't want to think that is cute.

Oh well...better luck next year I guess.

Sincerley,

Jen "I just recently became ok with skinny jeans" Fogleman

Dear iTunes,

You are really going to make me pay 30 cents more to download certain music? I am writing just to ask why. I mean, are you hurting financially? Are the artists? I don't want to assume here, but I think you and all of your musicians are doing just fine. For example...I really enjoy Lady Gaga's new song "Paparazzi," but all of a sudden it costs me $1.29 to download and enjoy it? Does she really need that extra 30 cents from me? Do you? Really??

Oh my dear iTunes. I think you are scamming me. I think you know I like that song and assume I will pay anything for it. Well, you are wrong my friend. You are wrong. I pride myself in being someone who respects the work and talents of others and downloads music legally. You may now be driving me to do otherwise. We can't be friends if you are going to take advantage of me. I'm sorry. I just can't accept that.

Sincerely,

Jen "I just want to hear my jam" Fogleman

Aunt Jenny!!

My new baby niece, Kamryn Josephine is here! She is beautiful and precious and I already love her so much!

Just wanted everyone to meet her. :)

The Gorilla Pizza Challenge

If you walk into the Wheat State Pizza in Lawrence, Kansas you will see a 24 inch cardboard circle on the wall advertising their "Gorilla Pizza.'' If you let your eyes wander a little bit more you will see the sign that says, "Take the Gorilla Pizza Challenge!" Translation: Eat one by yourself in one hour and you will get $275.

Of course when my husband's dear friends saw this challenge last week, they were convinced that if anyone could do it, Alan could. On September 12, 2009 Alan walked into Wheat State Pizza and took that challenge. This is his story.

A preview of what is to come.

Buying the pizza.

The gorilla approaches!!

Bite #1

About halfway through plus some crusts...it's all strategy.

Alan's proud supporters (and sponsors for this event)- relaxing and eating pizza...leisurely.

"I'm going to eat your pizza!"

We knew we were losing him when he got into the 'resting on the table' position.

One of the final bites...

We kindly prevented Wheat State from having to clean the floor.

He did give that pizza hell though.

So, my friends, next time you see Alan Fogleman walking down the street be sure to pat him on the back and congratulate him on this incredible feat. No, he did not finish that gorilla pizza or walk away with any money, but I'll tell you what he did do. He took a challenge and he did not quit until his own body forced his hand. He filled himself with more pizza than any human should ever be filled with and he did it with dedication and integrity. His motto throughout this event is one that we should all be applying to our daily lives: "I won't quit. I will win or I will throw up."

It's Time to Say Goodbye to the Summer

This summer went faster than any summer I have ever experienced. Seriously, it feels like it didn't even happen. All of a sudden 9 weeks of camp went by and we only have one week left! Then I start school at KU and go back to work at Rosehill. Let's not rush though...we still have this week! I just wanted to share some of my favorite summer moments with you all. It was a good one!

I got to spend my whole summer with my best friend!! I also enjoyed making K-State people mad about how sweet KU is.




I also got to hang out with the best kids ever. This is us observing Camo Short Tuesday.





Who doesn't love painting faces at the Renaissance Festival?





Saturday staff lunches!






Being a pacman ghost. Ok, I am lying...I didn't enjoy being a pacman ghost. Everyone runs from you and it is freakin' hot under there!






Shaving cream wars!





Nightstrike with Elvis.




My other best friend came to camp!





Being a Spartan with Will Farrell.





Arguing with Andy daily. :)





4th of July with the fam.





Royals games!





Seeing the Fray!



There is a little taste of summer for you all. It was so fast, but so good. I think I will be ready to transition back into real life when it comes next weekend. Ten weeks of camp food is really doing a number on me.
