NU= Da Bomb Also

Last night the world watched as the Nebraska Cornhuskers took on Michigan in the Alamo Bowl. There was quite a bit of excitement in the air, for these Huskers were ready to take the whole win. None of this "splitting of the National Title" business that occurred in 1997. No, no my friends...this one was ours. All of it. The game brought cheers, yells, frustrations, tears, joy, and finally, success. I must admit, I myself thought the game was over for sure when with 14 minutes left in the 4th quarter Michigan scored to make it 28-17. Our men were up for the challenge and proved themselves when they intercepted one of Michigan's own touch down passes (suckas!) and picked up a fumble. Did I forget to mention the successful two-point conversion. That's right...why don't you review that one, Michigan. Don't mess with us. Seriously. So...when all is said and done. Nebraska ended their not so good of a year with a bang. The drunk people I was watching it with were quite happy.

On another note...a friend of mine left me a message yesterday saying that she wanted me to call her because she had "news." Hmmm, wonder what that could be. Ah yes, another childhood friend engaged to the man of her dreams. Lovely. The slightly funny thing here is that when both of my now engaged friends were single I was the one in the serious relationship. Then they find great guys, I get dumped, and they get rings. What happened here?? Its ok...we can all laugh about this together. I know that my guy is out there somewhere. Hope he shows up soon. Sort of. I do still have some "single living" to do. Take that how you want.

Well, going over to grandma's for some good old fashioned home cookin'! Only one more day of work and then I head back to the daily drama of my life at KU. Excited or not that excited? I can't really decide yet. I have rather enjoyed my time here at home.

Nebraska Reunions

Tonite was really fun. I am enjoying being home a lot more than I thought I would. Mostly because I am far from any drama and also because I have gotten to spend a lot of time with people I haven't seen in a long time. Last week I hung out with some swing choir buddies (cool crowd, I know) and we tried to resurrect some of our dances. Not a good idea. Fun though. Tonite I spent time with my friend Heather, who was recently engaged, and that was sort of fun. At first it makes you want to be engaged and then you see them together and realize that engaged and married people are so boring. Actually, a lot of dating people are boring too. All they want to do is snuggle and look deep into each other's eyes. I want to continue being a fun person when these life events happen to me. Lets just hope they do happen! Anyway...I digress. I went bowling with a bunch of people from highschool after that and it was a blast. That made me feel ok about not being engaged. I had a freakin' good time. Most of the peeps I was with think I am a weirdo, but thats fine. I feel like that makes bowling more fun for them. Maybe? One of them goes to K-State, so who is he to talk?

So...I got to go to work tomorrow. Oh yeah baby...rollin' in the dough. Is that how you spell dough when you are referring to money?? Who knows. I must sleep now. Nebraska plays Michigan tomorrow...that'll be good.

On to another day. Goodnight.

Tis the Season

Ah yes, Christmas day. It is pretty picture perfect over here at 6318 North 105th Avenue, I must say. Laurie Wilson enjoys being quite festive. We've got the Christmas music blaring over the speakers and heard throughout the house, the table is set with our beautiful Christmas dinner ware, the tree is all aglow, stockings hang over the fire place, and Christmas cookies decorate every visible dish in the house. Yes, that's our Christmas.

We opened presents last night and I definitely got The Golden Girl's DVD's season 2 AND 3! Yes!! No ipods for me, I just need my girls.

We all went to church this morning and our pastor tried to do some weird interactive service thing. It was a good idea, but most people were pretty awkward about it. Luckily all of my CRU emcee experience allowed me to get up there and handle it rather well.

Well, over the river and through the woods to grandmothers house we go. Actually, it is around the block and in the driveway to the Norton's house we go. We are off for Christmas dinner and probably a lot of gift certificates. Good times! I shall leave you with this Christmas message, "Celebrate Jesus, Celebrate!"
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good...Day?

KU= Da Bomb

Yes that is right...KU is da bomb. The Jayhawks pretty much dominated the Fort Worth Bowl this evening and it was a beautiful thing. Hello, Brian Murph-dawg going 85 yards on a punt return and getting a touchdown?? That man is amazing. Cornish had a career high night as well and we all found out that he is real cute. So...yeah, they the bomb. First bowl win since 1995. This one time I was playing NCAA Football on the playstation with this boy I was dating and I ran like 99 yards for a touchdown when I faked a punt return. That was a beautiful moment.

So, I hung out with my ex-boyfriend, Justin #1, tonite. That was good and weird. He still looks pretty darn good and does still like boys too. It was fun to catch up I guess, but a little weird to look back and see where time has taken us. We are but a vapor, we are but a vapor. Well, before we go down this road of sentimental-ness too far, I should go.

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. It is actually my 22nd one. Whoa, I am totally getting up there. Hope Santa hits up this crib!

whoa...look at me...i'm a blogger

Am I really doing this? I mean, I just got an account so that I could post stuff on Amanda Tate's blog. I am not trying to be her and have a blog. Even if I did there is no way it would ever be as popular as hers. She pretty much rules the blog world. Yeah...its all hers. I won't mess with it. For real.
Why am I up? Gotta work with spitting up and popping babies at like 9 tomorrow morning. Sick.
