Who Dat!

I have to say, seeing an ENTIRE city cheer for their team is pretty overwhelming. Especially when right now with the oil spill they feel it's the only thing going for them. WOW

We finally got our pictures!

More to come.

Fiesta!

Look at the set of fiesta ware glasses and silverware K-man's brother and sister-in-law got us for a wedding present! I was so excited after opening them that I insisted on throwing a fiesta in their honor complete with tortilla soup and margaritas.

Also note the awesome napkins my Dad and his girlfriend got us; we've been using them everyday :)

Thanks, K-man's family for finally giving me an excuse to make having a complete set of fiesta ware dishes a life goal. (heh, like I needed an excuse)

Hello Mr. President

So President Obama is going to be speaking on Xavier's campus on Sunday to mark the 5th anniversary of Katrina. Exciting, right? The problem is it's all super secretive. Nobody on campus knows where or when the speech will be. I'm hoping there will be some kind of press release by Friday. I would LOVE to see him speak (even though there's probably no way I'd get in). Hell, I'll just take a hand wave outside on his way in to speak.

Update #1

Hey all! Here's an update....sorry it took so long, I was waiting for certain pictures but they haven't come yet :(

Anyway, it's been a crazy couple weeks!

We are moved in and are still organizing. It is hot as hell (record high temps to be exact) and we start teaching next week.

Here's what I've been doing:

White linen night:


I made it black and white so (hopefully) you can't tell how sweaty I am. Holy hell is it hot and humid. Now I know why people carry handkerchiefs.

To cool off we got some drinks afterwards:

(I look so much like my aunt Debbie here)


We got to hang out on Bourbon street with some friends from Pittsburgh:


(holla, soul sister!)

And the next weekend we went to the 'I wear my sunglasses at night' party at a local bar called the republic:
(that's right, I'm rocking a side ponytail)

Hmmmmm.....what else? Oh yeah! We got married! Those are the pictures I'm waiting for.

Here's the place:



I will post pictures ASAP.

Love you all!

We Made it!

Just a quick note: We're finally getting somewhat settled in to our new apartment. We reached New Orleans on Sunday and moved in on Tuesday. Things are still chaotic, but moving along.
I'll have a more thorough post in the future, but here are some pictures from the drive:

I'm OCD

For those of you who don't know me....I'm OCD.   The first sign of this (that I know of) occurred when I was eight.  I hated the way my mom braided my hair.  It was too messy for me.  So I taught myself how to braid with the help of my much wiser cousin M.  I learned how to french braid, do crown braids, fishtail braids, and everything else.  I was meticulous and I loved having the control.  The ironic thing is now I'd give anything to have my mom braid my hair now.

30 Day Shred

I started Jillian Michael's "30 Day Shred" yesterday and it seriously kicked my ass. I haven't been this sore in a long time. She has three 'levels' and I was just doing level one! I really like her combination of strength training, aerobics, and abs. I'm going to stick with it, but I think rather than doing it everyday, I'll ease myself into it by starting with every other day and do light aerobics on the off days. You can get it for less than $5 at Amazon On Demand where you can download it and play it on your computer/tv.

Everyone ready for the end of Lost?!

I love the part with ben.

LOL

I was watching some of my trashy Mtv reality shows online and this was the commercial that kept showing.  It cracked me up! I knew I drove a Toyota for a reason.
