Dood

As I was about to go to bed tonight, I decided to check the pvm website to see if perhaps the info for staff of summer 2005 was posted yet.

I realize someone in the office is probably going to let y'all know pretty soon, but let me do it out of my excitement--

2005 summer staff applications are available!!!

So aside from all that I'm wondering-
college friends- how is everyone's new semester (for those of you in college) going? Mine is alright; I start at noon on monday and wednesday and work begins at 8 tuesday, thursday, and friday, but that's basically the coolest and uncoolest of my college life at the moment. How about you, dear ones?
high school friends- ready for finals?
non-school-ed friends- like amber and matt and those other old people (but not lance, because he's in middle school)- how's the start of your new calendar year?

The Game Without a Name

For all you Game Without a Name lovers, I thought you'd enjoy knowing that I played the game with three different groups of people (family and friends on Christmas Eve, Christmas and New Year's) and it went over exceptionally well! :-) Kudos to the bright minds that came up with it. I had one aunt that wanted to name it but don't worry, its sanctity was preserved, as it remains the game without a name. ;-) Also, I have shared some of the fun stories that have developed as a result of this game, and my brother has now decided that his favorite word is smorgasbord. He had to print off his favorite word for his English class, and that's the one he chose. Those of you who did not play that particular game at Jenna's have probably assumed it was one of the words we used and yes, you are right. :-) Has anybody else had fun introducing the game to others?

Winter Weather

The week before Christmas when we all got lots of snow or, as in my case, ice, I took this picture. It's sorta hard to tell, but every branch on the trees was covered in ice and totally sparkled in the sun. You can also see the TONS of snow that we got on the ground. ;-) Hope everyone's New Year is going well!
