Days Until Departure: 11

Today I am sitting at one of the places I have spent more than enough time at in my life: the Milaca Dairy Queen.  I am here with Lauren and Morgan and having a lovely time trying to download Dexter from iTunes to watch that later tonight, but of course the internet is not as fast as I would prefer...of course...

NEW FLAVOR AT DQ:
Golden Oreo
Analysis: I thought that I would really like it because I like Golden Oreos, but I was wrong.  It is not good in ice cream.  Drat.

The Xbox and I fought today over whether or not it wanted to play Final Fantasy XIII with me.  It won.  I am still mad.


I spoke German for like two hours today with Judith Boldt.  This resulted in me being very tired and my head hurting for a long time, but I have to admit that I really enjoyed it and needed the practice.  I appreciate that a lot.  


This weekend was so much fun.  I went up to Duluth to visit Deanna and Megan and was able to watch "The Bounty Hunter" with them.  It was good, but for sure a renter.  I also was hooked on Dexter, which was a dumb thing for me to do as I am leaving so soon...ah well, what's done is done.  After saying goodbye to the girls, Braden and I went up to Enger Tower and took a few lovely pictures of the Duluth skyline.  A beautiful sight.  We also at lunch at a cute little place called Va Bene, it was so fun and interesting there, it is also one of Braden's favorite restaurants in the world.  The drive back was good, we were able to talk about the future a lot and figure some stuff out.  We are both very excited to leave, but also nervous and worried about random things.


Making cookies with the girls (Lauren, Morgan, Colette, Jenna, Katie, GSP, and Mom) was so much fun and so was watching the game, though the Saints are "thugs" as Grandma says.  I think I agree.


I have to go to Best Buy tomorrow to pick up my new camera, that will be fun.  I will also buy Glee Season 1!  I'm pretty excited about it.


Also, congrats to Lady Gaga for sweeping the VMAs last night.

Days Until Departure: 15

What could be better than Christmas in September?  Today was a day filled with spritz cookies, almond extract, and (of course) Beach Boys Christmas music! I'm currently sitting on the couch watching the Vikings game (so far it is pretty painful).  It's great to watch the game with the family, it's one of the only ones that I have left before I go.  I also watched a preview for gLee and am SO EXCITED!!!!

I was given this website a while ago by Sam Cousin, but I just looked at it again and it made me so happy.

Go to it and love your life a little bit more.

I watched Project Runway today and was very sad because Peach was voted off, I don't know who watches that show, but I really liked her.

I loved spending time with the family today, it really is a good thing for me to do because I know that I am really going to miss them when I leave.  YUM these cookies are so great.  Morgan is reading Eragon, I read that book but never finished Eldest...I always meant to, but did not.

I bought "A Clockwork Angel" yesterday.  Impulse buy.  It's from an author I liked with the same premise of the series that I liked, so you would think that I would like it, right?  I hope so.

I feel like this is getting boring.  HAHA....so......I'll end with my favorite photos from GAGA!!!!!!!!!
