Ligers

Here is a drawing that Dan made for me. He's probably the best drawer I know of. It is a liger and my new favorite pet.

So...the date story...Carrie and Becky treated me to excessive exfoliating at a spa party in one of the mini-ghettos in Minneapolis. Carrie and Becky hooked me and Dan up back in April.

Dan arrived on Saturday morning, picked me up and gave me a dozen roses. Then we spent Saturday hanging out, shopping at IKEA, and laughing. After spending the day hanging out, we got dressed up and went to Stillwater, Minnesota, where we ate an incredible meal and drank some great wine. We also walked around the town and watched the boats on the river and such.

After dinner, we changed into casual clothes and went to a drive-in where we watched "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" and "The Longest Yard." "Amityville Horror" was the third in the line-up but it was starting at 2:30 a.m. so we went home instead. It was a most perfect date. Probably the best I know of.

New photos!

In my spare time, I have finally uploaded my photos from the past two trips. Check them out...

Also, last night I acted like a complete white trash person. It was so hot in my little house that I went to the grocery store to soak up the air conditioning. I am pathetic, but it makes a good story!

Red bags everywhere

Parents and their prospective students have invaded Iowa State University. It's very scary and I was almost squashed by a Volvo station wagon this morning and that was enough to make me very upset. I almost couldn't go back to work.

Also...just a little note about our beloved university. Due to a class requirement (statistics), I have had to forego my free Fridays for the rest of the summer (after June 13). This is very disappointing as I really need some time in the sun to perfect the levels of Vitamin D in my body.

Home Sweet Home

Ahhhh back after a beautiful trip to San Antonio. Saw the Alamo four times, ate Mexican food six times, saw the Tower of Americas, perused La Villita, drank a lot of margaritas, enjoyed many bottles of Shiner Bock, and just enjoyed some amigos.

This is my new model shot.
It was taken at the McNey Art Museum in San Antonio.
Very wonderful place.
