Game Night Party Foul

RJ made a momma joke prematurely, which is a no-no according to rule
number 1:

All participating parties will refrain from saying anything about
mothers, physical attributes, or smells during game time. Once the
game night has been claimed by the winning couple, anything is fair
game.

His punishment was posing for this picture:

drumroll please...

the grades are in...

and i can officially add another 4.0 to my transcript

i'm going to toot my own horn because i'm feeling very proud of myself

i can't even tell you how relieved i am that all my hard work paid off

call me crazy, but after getting a 4.0 my first semester of grad school, i've been on a straight-a warpath.  bound and determined to rock a's every semester.

and so far, i've done it all 4 semesters

so let's pray the next 3 semesters go as well as the last few have gone

merry christmas to me!

a server's letter

dear ladies who had their work christmas party at our restaurant last night,

it was very nice of you to come in and enjoy a holiday meal with us.  there were a lot of you, and you were a little needy, but nothing i couldn't handle.  and you wanted a private room upstairs, which resulted in me running the large flight of stairs all night long.  you even left piles of wrapping paper and ribbon and teeny tiny confetti all over the room and i didn't even say one bad word.  but again, nothing i haven't had to deal with before.  it's all part of my job description.

it sure was sweet that you kept calling me "cute girl" and "sweetheart" all night and it was nice of you to tell me that i was one of the best servers you have ever had.  it was also very thoughtful of you to leave me some home-made snowman treats with a little note wishing me a very merry christmas.  i'm sure they took a long time to make.  

however, verbal tips and peppermint snowmen aren't really replacing monetary tips this year.  i know the economy is down a bit, but i'm pretty sure i can't go to my landlord and tell him that he is such a kind, generous guy and expect to get out of my rent payment for the month.  i'm also pretty positive that the cashier at best buy isn't going to accept these little edible snowmen as payment for the christmas presents i still need to purchase.

thanks again ladies for coming in to the restaurant, but please never sit in my section again.

sincerely,

liz

i'd rather be

here....

than here...

stupid finals week.  i hate you.  and it's freezing cold outside which makes it that much harder to get my butt to campus to study.

this is my 14th finals week and i'm kinda sick of it.

enough of my complaining.

back to studying.

thanks for listening.

She's a troublemaker

This is what I came home to yesterday after a long day at school. When
I left, the cage, crate, water, and toys were all in the kitchen on
the tile. She managed to drag everything to the front room (smearing
poop in the process) and proceeded to shred my favorite wreath to
pieces. It's a good thing she's so loveable or I just may have killed
her right then and there.

oh yeah, halloween...

now that thanksgiving has come and gone, i guess it is time to post about our halloween.  the week before halloween we headed to murray and went to a party that sarah and emily put together.  it was a murder mystery dinner and was a lot of fun.  it was especially fun to see and catch up with our friends we haven't seen forever.  the murder mystery part was fun and i was actually the one who got killed off.  haha.

josh and i dressed up as captain hook and tinkerbell.

we got tess the same day as the party.

here is the whole gang... it was a lot of fun!

on halloween, we went to a party at stacie and mckade's house.  we ate some yummy soup bowls and treats and played some games.  i especially loved the caramel apples we made... yum.  of course i didn't bring my camera so i have no pictures from it, but it was a lot of fun.  we even dressed tess up as tinkerbell and she had a ball playing with the little devil (diesel).
