So Danielle had a nice date this afternoon with a girl that LINDY HOPS! AHH I'm so excited that she knows where other young people (aka, the opposite of the South Side Imperial Dance club) swing dance in this area! She recommended a bar, The Atomic Cowboy that has Thursday swing nights and I SO hope Casey comes home early enough from rehearsal ( Read more... )

Danielle, on the harsh Olympic NBC announcers: "They are children! They are flying children! How can you bash on flying children!?? That is the work of satan, hating on children!”

So, last night was a blast as Danielle, Casey, and I watched the Men's team gymnastics Olympics. Danielle and I love Gymnasics, cause she loves "all the events where people FLY!" But, since we know nothing about gymnastics and how it's scored really, and are always so impressed with what these people can DO, every time an Olympian performs and does ( Read more... )

I love my Latin page-a-day. Today's is "a done deal." Pactum Factum ( Read more... )

Yesterday morning Danielle and I were very unproductive. But hey, we only get so much time to relax before life starts to get so busy, so I'm going to enjoy it and not feel guilty AT ALL. We did learn a lot though, via the TV. I watched a special on the recent discoveries surrounding the Great Pyramid in Egypt (there's just another door back there ( Read more... )

I worked out today! Yoga and biking! YAY! When Casey, Danielle and I were all awake, Danielle made pancakes, and we were just kind of watching Princess Diaries 2 because it was on, and then after breakfast we just kept watching it and couldn't turn it off, and kept cracking up, especially at the guard whose voice cracks ( Read more... )

So I actually woke up this morning, to God's loudest thunderclap in history, in time for church. I wanted to check out mass at the St. Louis Cathedral Basilica that I can see from my bedroom window. It's green and domed and I had heard that it was decorated in mosaics, like those we saw in Greece. Turns out the mosaics cover 83,000 square feet, and ( Read more... )

So, Casey, Danielle, and I are officially Netflix people. We got it today, the $8 plan, and our first movie in the queue is appropriately, The Philadelphia Story. Danielle and I had a good time flipping through the "period" movies and just jotting down movies we need to make Casey watch. This should be fun ( Read more... )

Another day with lots of organization. Today I attacked the closets! Well, this morning I actually took a bike ride to Walgreens and my bank. I have decided that I love biking down Lindell, especially by the pretty row houses with big trees. Got a great deal on printer ink, and just in time for Casey to print of the his new resume Danielle ( Read more... )

So today I did more organizing, and finally started getting the bedroom looking like real people live there. I think the biggest thing done apartment-wise was hanging up the wall art with Casey. Oh Man. He came back from the Post Office and Dispatcher sit-in rather grumpy (disappointing news on the job fronts so far, but he'll find something) and ( Read more... )
