Thoughts.

• I love fall. It is my favorite season. The colors, the crisp breeze, comfy sweaters, boots...
• I love having a hobby. I'm so glad I finally found one that I enjoy and I'm good at, its just SO frustrating that it is one that is so expensive.
• I am so baby crazy right now it ridiculous, and its driving Nick crazy. He wants to start a family too, but he should probably have a degree and, more importantly, a job before we get pregnant.
• I really want a sb-900 flashlight. And a MacBook.
• I love headbands. And feather headpieces.
• I despise my ethics class. It's awful. And boring.
• I made a baby bootie today, with another one to match to come tomorrow. How cool is that? I crocheted a baby bootie! I'm the bomb.
• I have wonderful friends and I love them like a fat kid loves cake :)

PS... I have a small favor to ask. Could everyone please say a prayer for Nick tonight/tomorrow morning? He has a solid lead on a job in his career field. The man he's meeting with is going to be a guest lecturer in the civil engineering department tomorrow morning, and said he wanted to meet with Nick about the possibility of a job. We're keeping our fingers crossed, and we could use the extra prayers.

Ducks Meet and Greet

Last night was the annual season ticket holder Ducks meet and greet event, and I didn't get to go! I had class, and I was a GOOD GIRL and went to class. Shocked? I was too.

Nick, his sister Cassie, his brother Stewart, and my sister Sierra all went down and had a blast without me... yeah, I don't know how they managed either. I'm way jealous because they got to take a tour of both the Ducks locker room and the visitor's locker room. So cool. Here are a couple of pictures from the event.

Sierra got to meet her favorite player Ryan Getzlaf and get a picture autographed.

Nick and Stewart took a picture with the "Power Players" I think they look a little too happy...

Some of the player's jerseys in the locker room. So cool.

Nick knew how bummed I was to not get to meet George "Fear the 'Stache" Parros, who is THE MAN, so he asked him to hold up this sign while he took a picture. Nick told THE MAN that he is my favorite player. Did I mention he is THE MAN?

Tuesday Nights

This is how Tuesday nights go:

- I get off work and come home to change my clothes and run out the door to school
- School from 6-10
- Race home to start Biggest Loser
- Shout at the TV about how much I loathe Tracey
- Nick laughs at me while I cry through the parts when I'm not shouting at Tracey
- I get mad at Nick for laughing at me for crying, and then shout at him about how I can't stand Tracey
- Get excited because we're getting closer to the makeover episode (which I was at the taping of, and everybody should watch and look for me in the audience)
- Tell Nick that I would have sent Tracey home and wish I could punch her in the ovary
- Go to bed

Sounds like a great night, huh? I love it. Did I mention my feelings about Tracey? Just making sure.

PS, I still need input about my photography assignment. Please refer to my last post. Thanks!!

Struggling For Inspiration

I am taking a digital photography class at the local jr. college this semester, and I am having a blast. I am learning SOOOOO much, and it is going to help make me into a much better photographer, in fact, its already working. We have 7 or 8 big projects that are all due on the last night of the class, so I'm trying work on it slowly but surely throughout the semester so I don't have to be all stressed out at the last minute **pause for all those who know how I do all of my school work to gasp and pick themselves up after having fainted**
One of the projects is proving particularly difficult for me, and I thought I might put it out there and maybe get some inspiration from all none of you who read my blog. The assignment is this: take pictures of things in the world around you that resemble the letters of your name (first or last) and assemble them into a collage that spells out your name. I think it would be amazing to do a themed collage of my last name and have it framed and give it to my inlaws as a Christmas gift... ideally a hockey themed collage. But I am just having so much trouble finding inspiration and seeing letters in the everyday things around me. I also thought it would be cool to do all of my favorite things for my first name, like shoes, makeup, and things of that nature.
Anybody have any ideas? Suggestions? Anything? Bueller? Bueller?
