Now that's just sweet

This post made my day. So unexpected and so wonderful.

Harry Potter Freak Flag

Here is the trailer for the 6th installment of the insanely good Harry Potter series. I can't get it to work with the embedding thing so ... all you get is a link. It's definitely worth going and watching.

This is what my response was after watching it:
Holy smokes I can't WAIT for this movie. It looks amazing. Why must I wait till July?

I want to be her -



p.s. Teresa comes tomorrow!

So I got this comment on my blog

"Okay Marianne! This is a little unusual for you to not have a new post on your blog. I know I'm not that great about posting but people just expect that from me, you on the other hand, I expect more. If you need ideas, you could do another blog about me and how much you are looking forward to seeing me! Ha! Ha!"

Courtesy of the always so funny sista, Teresa.

So in honor of her request ... there are only 5 more sleeps till they arrive! I can hardly stand it, I'm so excited to see them.

p.s Kelsters decided to add this comment on to the blog as well.

I agree with Teresa Mare...what's going on? Come on...get with it! :) Love you.

I guess I should be happy that people read my blog and that they want updates.

Bought this CD yesterday. His sweet serenading voice soothes my stressed from school soul.

Peas in the Pod are my favorite

I just want everyone to take a minute and look at my this post. Yes, that is my newest nephew. Isn't he just the cutest thing you've ever seen? Longest wait of my life to meet the new little guy. Only 14 more days!

I woke up to

SNOW!

Snow and I have always been friends. Together we built forts, went sledding, snowboarding, had snowball fights, celebrated Christmas and New Years. I love the snow. With that being said, I didn't mind the beautiful, white, wet precipitation outside and then I walked outside and all over campus. I suddenly feel like snow and I are in a fight, battling it out to see who can win. So far ... snow is winning.

Scrape the snow and ice off my car (well my AMAZING roommate, Logan did all the hard work) ... point snow.

Stepped in a pile of melted dirty snow ... point snow.

Walked from the JSB to the Taylor building in a blizzard ... point snow.

Pants wet to mid calf ... point snow.

See what I mean?

Earlier this week I found these beauties,



Snow wouldn't stand a chance with me in those puppies.

p.s. I changed my hair color.

What do you do with an empty box from Costco? Logan came up with the idea of trying to see who fit in the box. She obviously fit in it the best.

What are two girls suppose to do?

On a Friday night with no engagements to occupy the evening ... why of course, build a fort.

Things you'll need:
3 sheets
2 blankets
2 lamps
Push pins
Straight pins
Packing tape
Ear rings

First put your mattresses in the living room. Connect sheets with a variety of objects (straight pins and ear rings). Attach the sheet to lamps with packing tape and books and then attach to wall with push pins. Refer to figures 1 and 2 below for examples. Put your "No Boys Allowed" Sign on the door of the fort, climb in, start the movie, and ENJOY!

For variety try different patterns of blankets and sheets. The ear rings are a great way of adding a little sparkle and fun to fort as well (when you run out of other pins you'll use just about anything).
