Countdown to Vacation!!!!

I'm so excited- we leave for Oahu tomorrow!!!!!!!! I'm all packed up and set to go-- just gotta watch last night's episode of the office and then leave at 4:30AM for Hawaii! End of post- dustin is all about correcting my grammar and driving me nutso!

Shampoo-Banana

We returned tonight from our weekend at U of I where we attended the Alumni basketball game at Assembly Hall. Basically was the final four team sans Augustine vs. previous illini "legends." It was pretty cool cause a lot of old players were there along with people from when we were in school- lucas johnson, sergio, marcus griffin, frank williams, cory bradford, etc. After hiking around all day from the hampton inn on the NORTH side of campus to the game on the SOUTH side, stopping at some bars along the way, we make it to the hall. Seemed warm when we went in, but kept thinking I must be hot from all the walking. After about 5 minutes, I'm hotter inside the building than i was while walking. We realize they DO NOT HAVE ON THE A/C. This immediately brings flashbacks to my excruciating megabus trip to chicago where the a/c was broken. No announcement or apology over the loud speakers. We just sweated and watched some basketball....not even really enjoying it because all i can think about is if the sweat is starting to wet through my clothes. I think they will be getting complaint letters from both Tracy and I. We bought ice cream to try and cool off....it just start melting at a crazy rate and dripping out the bottom of the cone. Next thing I know, the guy in front of my had his white illini jersey draped over the back of his seat and it is covered with like 5 chocolate ice cream drip marks! Oopsie-- that was really dustin's fault so he was banned from holding the cone.

My hero

"I'm Lovin It!" Today is a milestone in my life. I have finally found my hero...someone I respect and have great honor for. I only wish I could someday follow in his steps. These are the best sandwiches ever created and tomorrow I begin my mission to live as my hero has done....good thing there is McD's 2 blocks from Dustin's!! Read about him here....

Dream come true

So, every year Dustin and I hope that IL and Vandy will meet up in the final four tourney so I can prove how much more awesome the Illini are! So they have signed a 2 year agreement to play during the season now-- so we were psyched. I was just waiting for the game to fall on like the 1 day that won't work out for us to go....but seems like Thurs. 11/20 will be a perfect night to go to Nashville and see the Illini dominate!! I can't wait :)

And we are heading to "shampoo-banana" next weeked to watch an alumni illini basketball game. Dee and Deron will be back long with a ton others....so that should be fun times.

Couch Potato Time Begins NOW

Ok, so all the fall shows will be starting up and I'll try not to become too obsessed over many this year. Gossip Girl started this week and for some reason I just think that is one of the BEST shows ever! I do have one compaint thought-- who the hell is in charge of wardrobe for Chuck and Nate on that show. Those guys look completely ridiculous...but that's okay, it adds humor. 90210 premiered last night, but have not watched it yet. I'm trying not to get too excited for that, because let's get real-- there is no way that compares to the original. Also announced is the second love of my life- Jason- got picked to be the new bachelor. If I don't get a ring soon, I think I'll be sending in my application and try to win him.

That's all for now- xoxo
Gossip Girl (haha)

I'm doing a blog!!!!

I'm thinking a blog will be fun and a great idea...but I know how excited I get for these web fads and then never follow through...aka facebook and myspace! I am committed to this though!! Basically just like my online diary, but for everyone to read--hmmmmmm, scary thought. I'm taking bets now on how long this will last:

a) Amy will make about 2 more posts and quit because too much of a hassle
b) Amy will not long on for a month and forget her password
c) Amy will still be blogging away in a retirement home some day
