Check it out....

So today I had a fun wild goose chase through campus...with a special little friend.

I ran into my friend Hans at the Library today. Hans is in a wheelchair and has a service dog and I noticed that she wasn't with him today. When I asked him where Ryce (his dog) was today he explained to me, in a very stressed way, that she was at the vet and that he didn't have anyone to go and pick her up. So I offered to go. Hans said that he'd be in the library and to bring her there after I picked her up.

So I get to the vet and it took like 45 minutes for them to bring Ryce out (apparently there was nothing wrong with her but Hans is SO protective of her...I overheard the vet talking to Hans on the phone saying "ummm...I didn't notice anything unusual in her stool") and then we were on our way!!

So I get to campus and I'm walking around with Ryce in tail (keep in mind that she is not wearing her service dog vest so it looks like I'm just taking my pet on a walk), going through the library with Ryce and everyone is starring at me. Turns out Hans LEFT the library. Haha! So then I walked across campus to his dorm and he wasn't there. So...here I am just chillin' with Ryce, I had NO idea what to do with her. I just ended up taking her home with me and we took a nap together and it was sooo cutie and fun. Hans finally got her back but it was fun/funny day!

My roommate snapped this photo of me and Ryce napping

Dad demanded that I put this up, so, because I value my dad's happiness more than I value my own life, here it is.

Everyone click on that link and read that talk. Because it is probably one of the best things I have ever read.

My list of things that make me quirky and high maintenance

Okay, Dan "tagged" me and challenged me to list six of my quirks. So here goes...

1. If I'm going to take a nap, I have to have at least two and a half hours to sleep with nothing planned immediately after, otherwise I just stress the whole time and that gets me nowhere!

2. To sleep I have to have all of the following: My bedroom, bathroom, and closet doors shut, my feet moisturized, and my ceiling fan on.

3. When I'm typing a paper I push "ctrl s" to save my paper probably about 20 times a minute (no exaggeration) or at least after every new sentence I type.

4. I absolutely HATE touching towels when my hands are really pruny. I'd rather sit and freeze until I'm dry than touch a towel. Ew.

5. When I get mail, I never open it right then and there. I always wait about 10 minutes to read my letters and even then my reading is very slow and deliberate.

6. It really bothers me when people touch my face, especially my eyebrows. I know it's totally weird.

So there you go, there are six strange things that I do. All of my blog friends have already been tagged so........yeah!

The Bowling Challenge

My friday night was spent throwing down some mad bowling skills at the REX center. My competitors didn't even know what was coming when I picked my choice 8 pound pink bowling ball. But they knew it was all over when I laced up my shoes and started stretching. Oh did they ever....

But in all reality, Nancy was the main trash talker. She could really make those bowling pins scatter! Her and Greg creamed the other two teams, but my team came in second place, thank you very much! Greg made a poster advertising for this bowling competition and it made me really motivated to come. You've got to read it for yourself:

All in all it was a fun night, and worth the 1..or 2...dates I turned down : )

(Mom, just take a deep breath...it really was worth it.)

Pictures: Greg thought he was pretty funny and took one shoe from everyone and hid them...and then made us play "Bullah bullah" to find them. And here are my teammates...coming in at a close (ish) second!!

Oh and ps my first soccer game is tomorrow. So...Go Vikings!!!

Oh and by the way look how disgusting my roommates are. Keep in mind that one of my roommates and I deep cleaned the kitchen on Monday night. Sooo....yeah.

Gooooooood times.

Okay listen up all you peeps last weekend was fabulous and we had a surprise birthday party for my dad. He be 50 years old!!! My mom did a really great job putting everything together, we had a band and a ton of people came. It was the hit of the half century!!

I also loved seeing my crippled little sister and pushing her around TJ Maxx, Ross, and Petco in her wheelchair. It made me feel validated and like I really can be a special ed. teacher. Just kidding.....

Here are some highlights of the weekend!

Happy Birthday Dad!!!!!!!!!!
