Sloths and Kangaroos

It's restaurant week in Ann Arbor! It happens twice a year where a bunch of restaurants have deals (like a three course meal for a discounted price, or two for one meals) to try to bring in new customers. So Shelly, Pat and I went to a restaurant called Melange downtown. It was good, a nice environment. They had a bunch of martinis to choose from. I got one called L.J's Nectar. I decided I also don't like the word "nectar". Neck-tar, neck-tar.....bla.

Anywho, Shelly and I had dinner and Pat had his vegan stuff ;) But somehow during dinner we were talking about Pat's work. This week they were having some animals come in: a kangaroo and a sloth and stuff! CRAZY!! But here is a picture of the kangaroo and sloth:

But Pat isn't doing a very good sloth, so here is another one:

I'd say that he's pretty close!

My friends are special.

bbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrr

Some things I am thankful for especially during the winter: heated mattress pads, hot showers, hot chocolate, my Keurig, fireplaces, soft blankets, days you can stay inside and not have to brave the frigidness that is outside.

More to come tomorrow.

Least Favorite Word, But Hilarious

Little enjoyment of the week. See it's not just me who hates this word:

Week One

So here is week one of my resolution.

Saturday I went over to Shelly's. We went out to the Heidelburg in A2. It's this old German bar/restaurant. You can get boots of beer there. Literal glass boot cup that they fill with beer.

We did not get one of those. Instead, we came home and did Just Dance 2 and Zumba on the Wii. Here is a taste of how awesome it was.

Had a good time hanging out with friends. As you can tell, I now have great blackmail material. mwahahaha!

Another Resolution?

So I guess this isn't another resolution, but instead its addendum to my previous resolution of taking more pictures. I am going to do a picture a week. So I will have 52 pictures per year! Maybe I will even make a picture book every year! How fun would it be to have a picture book of every year of your life to look back at? Especially because I feel like the last couple years have flown by. I wish I would have done this before because it's the little things that make the year and it's so hard to remember all those little things.

So moral of the story, here is my picture for this week: My christmas tree and village for this year. It is still up and I am dreading taking it down because

A. That means that the holidays are over and

B. I have to pack up all my Christmas stuff, which is a huge pain.

I think I will start that project on Sunday....

Welcome to 2011

I decided to restart this blog. And it's 2011! Wow, 4 years later!

Resolution for 2011: take more pictures

I am also going to try to think of things that I enjoy in life. Stupid things, little things, random things.

Today's enjoyment: spending time with friends during the Holidays. Being able to see those people you love and don't get to see as often as you would like during this wonderful time of year is just amazing.

That's it for now!

Sorry about the complete lack of postings...

Hello everyone.

The internet we used in Dublin would freeze up every time I tried to login to this so I gave up on that. But let me try to quickly tell what we have done so far:

Arrived in Dublin after an extremely long plane ride. Jamie and I didn't sleep at all but Kristen was out! :) It was cool they gave us this little package with an eyecover and toothbrush and toothpaste and lotion and earplugs for our flight. We arrived in Dublin, which was a pretty small airport and already Kristen thought it was halarious (she has a thing with accents) It's interesting seeing the different things like the lift (elevator) and ladies and gents toilets (we seriously confused someone when asking for the restroom, they thought we needed a room to rest!) Got our luggage and took a taxi to our hotel. Our hotel was right on the river liffey which is like where everything is in the city. Anyways, while we were there we went to temple bar and OConnell Street and took a tour of the city and went to the Guinness Factory and then took a day trip out to the country which was actually my favorite part of our visit there. I guess that was the ireland i had imagined.

We flew into London at about 11 this morning (which is really early for MI- 6am) Took us a while to figure out how to get to our hotel but we finally were able to manuver the subway system with our luggage which was really awkward, and walked a while to get to our hotel and took a nap and went to dinner at subway!!!! :) Not sure if we will come back here soon but hopefully I will be able to update this again sometime during our trip.

Cheers!
