GrEeTiNgS!!!

HELLO ALL MY DARLINGS!! JUST THOUGHT I'D WRITE A HELLO FROM THAILAND!!! AND JUST SO YOU KNOW...YOUR TOMORROW (WHICH IS MY TODAY) IS GOING TO BE GRAND!! :P ANYWAYS...I LOVE YOU ALL SO AND MISS YOU LOTS!!! AND I'LL TALK TO YOU ALL LATERS!!! ~*hEaThEr*~

A short GoodBye to you ALL!!

I'M LEAVING RENO IN LESS THAT 6 HOURS...I'M LEAVING YOU ALL FOR FIVE WEEKS IN THAILAND...I SHOULD BE FAST ASLEEP RIGHT NOW...BUT...The YAWNS won't stop and the SLEEP won't come!! So I'm sitting here on the floor of the living room at 4 something in the morning...wishing I could sleep, but I can't! So many things are swimming around in my mind right now...and I can't stop them long enough to shut my eyes and fall asleep...so my solution...why write something on this wonderful blog of course...perhaps it will be therapeutic and help the zzzzz come quickly so I can at least get a somewhat decent amount of sleep tonight before heading off to the airport early tomorrow morning! And plus...I won't get to write on here for five weeks...so I need to take advantage of this "free time!" and since no one is here to talk to me because everyone is sleeping like normal human beings I'll write! Anyways...I'm COMPLETELY packed finally...it didn't take very long...it was just the actual act of packing that was hard for me! I despise packing...unpacking sucks too...but packing just isn't fun! What's fun about shoving things into a bag...nothing, that's what!! Today is my brother's 16th birthday...weird...he can drive now...and since it's May 24th...that means exactly one month until I turn the ripe old age of 21...WOO-HOO!! AAAHHHH...I just got really scared...and it's all Tabor's fault!! I just saw something move in the hallway and I'm definitely the only one awake in the house!! The BOY IN THE CLOSET....he's baaaaack!! Okay...I think I'm good...I've calmed myself...at least enough to start with my goodbyes to my AwEsOmE rOoMmAtEs that I will miss dearly!!!
To all of you ---> I'll miss you and all the ridiculous acts of randomness and just plain weirdness that occurs in our house on a regular basis!! I can't wait to see you when I get back!!!
LAURIE ANN ~ I'll miss you...I could hardly cope when you were only gone for like 8 days...what am I suppose to do without you for FIVE WEEKS!! I know I'll survive...but really...this will be the longest amount of time we've been separated without communication in like...two years I think! I'll shed tears for you every night!!...and I'll teach the children how to dance like you so the amazing "Laurie dance moves" can be spread across the globe!!! :D
JAMIE ~ I'll miss our acts of randomness in the living room and the constant smell of your cooked food every time I walk through the front door! Have fun with your soon to be only roommate Tabor while I'm gone...and I can't wait to hear about the amazing employment of feeding people when I come back!! haha...I still can't believe that you might get to do that!!!
SARA BETH ~ I'll miss our random acts of silliness in the living room too...and watching you nap on the couch or read non-trashy romance-esque high school books about a girl named Christie Miller (haha)...and the way we can't be left alone together because something alway goes crazy (like making banana muffins or really any food for that matter...we're the first and only I think to be banned from the kitchen when in each other's company...when we're by ourselves or with someone else it's okay...but us together is not a good combination)...ooo I'll miss scanning the pantry, then fridge, then freezer the same way as you too, only to discover there's nothing to eat! Have fun in the lovely state of New York this summer!!
CHRISSIE ~ I miss you already...only because you've been gone for a couple days now...and I miss our together time watching tv in the morning and shopping in the afternoon! haha...and who else would do a puzzle with me during their summer vacation...why you of course!! I was just looking at my the pictures on my phone, and a majority of them are of you doing just plain weird things...and I love them so much...they make me laugh hysterically!! oh no...You'll be all moved out by the time I come back...which makes me a sad panda...and I won't get to see you until "the wedding of all weddings"...but I'll call you when I get back!! ooooo :( oh yeah...Email me your address in Utah too!!
TERRY BART-TA-MASE ~ i'll miss your amazing cooking skills...and the way you dominate on a DDR pad!! YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED...and really...people say they didn't even know you were dating someone! HA...all they had to do was follow us during the little photo-shoot around UNR campus, then they would have seen the two of you!! That scene under that weird tent tree....ahhh...priceless!! Have fun in Vegas this summer and I'll see you at your wedding...the wedding I've now named "the Wedding of all weddings!"...i'm not sure why, the name just seemed to fit for some reason!!
MY-REDITH ~ haha...kinda sounds like meredith if you say it funny! I'll miss you my crazy oddball of a friend!! I had fun being your replacement Lauren for the semester...and then Strongbad Rosenkoer...and now the person you think of when the Lonely song comes on! Now every time I hear that song I have the sudden urge to find mikey mouse gloves and sing along...but mikey mouse gloves are surprisingly hard to come by though!! I'll miss you tons...and can't wait to see you when i return!!
LAUREN WRIGHT ~ the long lost world traveling of a roommate that was not forgotten!! I can't believe you get back tomorrow!!! ONE DAY AFTER ME!! That sucks...I've had to wait an entire semester to see you...now five more weeks...plus some more since I probably won't see you until August when you, meredith, and I will be escorting each other!! I wish I could be there to greet you back into the states that are united my wonderful Lauren friend!!
AND TABOR VOL-BEEEER-DING! ~ you're now my roommate for the summer...which i'm so excited for! So far it's been fun...watching you try and play DDR, eat slightly warm pickles...and then really cold (dare I say close to freezing) pickles, and you to falling victim to the Christie Miller series books!! Can't wait to come back and actually live with you for more that a day or two!! Good luck finding the perfect job for you!! LIKE THE RECyclEr!! oh yeah...and I definitely won't forget the pickle burps...they'll always remind me of you!!
I know this blog sounds like I'll never see you again...and it's really just wrong now that I look at it...so I'm sorry you had to read this...but it's just that I haven't been away from all of you or 155 for such an extended amount of time since I moved in last year!! I'll miss you all my wonderful friends and roommates! And now I must leave you with some parting words of wisdom that I myself was made aware of earlier tonight ---> A sign next to a park with children playing on a tetter-totter does not mean that an actual tetter-totter exists to play on...but rather it is a universal sign for a park...who knew!!! :P

Chillin' like a Villian...

because...well...he was...a man that is, that robbed a bank and sought refuge in our amazon of a jungle backyard!! Friday morning, much to everyone's surprise...cops came trampling through the backyard! That's right...through the back gate that has the lock on the outside so any crazy can go back there, including the "mystery" tp-ers...around the ping-pong table that is warped beyond belief from the 4 feet of snow that once rested atop it, but that's okay because now we can play the wonderful game of dundadun EXTREME PING!...up the pine-needle laiden pathway...past the amazing gazebo you can see from the street that now has a workable light inside so you can see the wonderfulness of nature during the darkest of nights...past "the oldest pine trees in Reno"...up towards the ridiculous corn fields that for some reason grow back there...up to the sandy lot that now is eye level with the second floor of the enormous house that is currently being built next door! So yes, they walked past the back kitchen windows several times...we watched from the back door window and then ran and watched through Laurie's bedroom windows until I finally managed to open the back door...it's a sticky little bugger! Heather (not me...the new addition to this household) speaks "Excuse me...excuse me...is there something going on here?!?" And that's when he told us the situation at hand. Yes...a man, after robbing a bank decided that our backyard would be the perfect hideout...no one could possibly find him back there...unless of course he was followed by the police officers chasing him...which was in fact the case. I'm not sure what his thought process was at the time...but really...if I robbed a bank and was running from the law...first, I wouldn't think to run and hide in the 155 college drive backyard...second, there's really no where to go unless you want to plummet to your death by jumping off the rock wall down to the sidewalk on Sierra Street...and third, I'd hide under the ping-pong table covered with the enormous yellow tarp, because you know no one would look under there, because who would really hide under a ping-pong table!! THEN...as I went to close the screen door that had been opened by the perpetrator to the back door that he had tried to enter and since the conversation with the cop had come to an abrupt end...another cop informed us that a sidearm was missing...A WHAT?!?...a G-U-N...and if we find it we are NOT to touch it...but call 911!! Yeah...it's a true story! I think I might just have to relive the campout in the backyard from last year EVERY night so I don't miss whatever other excitement might decide to run, wander, and hide in the BaCkYaRd! And people wonder why I fear walking in the dark by myself...because oddities like this happen!!! THAT'S WHY!

the secret about terry cloth!!!

Fibre: Cotton and some linen. Weave: Pile, also jacquard and dobby combined with pile. Characteristics: Either all over loops on both sides of the fabric or patterned loops on both sides. Formed with an extra warp yarn. Long wearing, easy to launder and requires no ironing. May be bleached, dyed, or printed. Better qualities have a close, firm, underweave, with very close loops. Very absorbent, and the longer the loop, the greater the absorbency. When the pile is only on one side, it is called "Turkish toweling". Uses: Towels, beachwear, bathrobes, all kinds of sportswear, children's wear, slip covers, andwww.ntgi.net/ICCF&D/cotton.htm

A cotton fabric with moisture-absorbing loop pile covering the entire surface on one or both sides. Used for home fashions, as well as summer apparel.www.table-kitchen-linen.com/cotton-fabrics-glossary.html

A typical uncut pile weave fabric. This fabric is formed by using two sets of warp yarns. One set of warp yarns is under very little tension; when the filling yarns are packed into place, these loose yarns are pushed backward along with the filling yarns, and loops are formed. Typical uses include towels, robes, and apparel.www.cyberfiberonline.com/glossary.shtml

Medium-weight, soft, cotton-type fabric with low twist yarns forming surface loops.www.pioneerlinens.com/index.cfm

A woven cloth (usually cotton) used for making bathrobes and towels, with small loops on one or both sides to give it a soft, cushy feel.www.glencoe.com/sec/busadmin/marketing/dp/ap_and_acc_mktg/gloss.shtml

Simultanious blogs are the key to worldwide unity!!!

you can just see the confusion and anguish, and the wondering "why is there a clamp on my ham?"... need I say more...

wish we had a zip line in our backyard!!

It would be so fun, from the top of the sandy part to the house. I would just zig zag all day long. Yeah, it would be good!!

ConGRADulations!

CONGRADULATIONS!

If you build it they will come!!!

I can't believe it, 100 people have officially visited our blog...Okay Okay granted some of those visitors were us checking out if people are really sneaking some peaks. But people really are taking the time to read our piece o sh**. I'm not sure if that makes me glad or terribly embarrassed. Probably more of the latter. Anyway if you read this you should post a comment unless you are as embarrassed to read this as I am to help produce it. Well, that's all the blogging I have in me for now. If you're happy and you know it clamp your hams!! ---chrissie

You people are blogging Faahrrreeakks!

So, here I am sitting in a youth hostel in Florence, Italy, that's right, Florence ITALY (like the name of the Centaur, who my friend thinks is very HOT in Harry Potter) and I decide to show these lovely 2 girls I've been travelling through Europe with just who Lauren is and who she lives with. So I click on the blog, which has been DEAD for the past 4 months I have been living abroad and well you guys have sprung back to life, which leads me to believe you are NOT studying for finals and instead BLOGGING. What has this world come to you freaks? STUDY! as I roam around Europe you should be studying to get good grades! Only kidding. So, alas, I am here to update you guys that I will be back in those lovely states that are united on the eve of May 25th. I will then be travelling to that HOT city we know was home, Las Vegas that Monday, where I will maybe see some of my fellow Las Vegans. Maybe not, since some are going to THE PHILIPPINES. WOOOHOO. So, y'all know the tele #, gimme a call, but not after 8pm! P.S. Meredith and Heather I accept the date invitation to THE WEDDING of the century.

Why Blog, Why Not?!?!

No good reason for blogging except for blogging's sake and the fact that I don't want to clean our nasty house right now...It has been a long day. First we massively prepped for Terry's bridal shower, then we went to the shower, then we came home for not enough time to barely even sit, then we went to Julie's birthday dinner and now they are trying to convince us to go sing karaoke. But I don't want to...I just want to waste my time blogging it up about nothing at all. Ok now I am over it...Im about to have a serious convo with my dear friend Sara Herr who is special in both good and bad ways...If you want to know the bad way, ask her to make her ugly face and you will see. catch ya all on the flipside (whatever that means). --Chrissie

Everyone's gone NuTtY...

Cuticles are flammable when soaked in nail polish remover for an extended amount of time…did you know that? It says so on the bottle…who knew! Our good friend Wes "the experienced firefighter" Boatman is in our backyard right now seeing if it is in fact true, while simultaneously yelling Ga-Ga-Ga-Ga-G Unit. To go along with the flammablility of things flammable, apparently the infamous Ernie (as in Burt and Ernie) didn’t know the risk of nail polish remover. According to a reliable source, after Ernie had his daily mani & pedi combo, caught himself on fire…freak accident or negligence with a lit candle by the bath tub perhaps…the world may never know!! Rub a dub dub! Oh man…Wes has definitely just caught the ping pong table on fire. If he keeps up these shenanigans he'll be taken to the candy shop if you know what I mean…and that is NOT a place you want to go!!

Included below is a picture of Ernie’s last trip to Disneyland with his beloved friend Burt…along with lifelong pals Sponge Bob and Tinky Winky. [picture provided by the firefighter in our backyard]
