Dear DirectTV,I have officially declared Friday Night Lights my favorite TV show ever…and I mean EVER. Better than The Office, better than Friends…even better than Saved by the Bell. Crazy, I know! (please note: reality television is in it's own separate category). So you can only imagine how distressed I was when the season 4 premier (scheduled for Fall 2009 on NBC) never happened. Where could I watch my beloved show?! Then we moved to a new city, signed up for your service, and ...
Little Things Can Make a Big Difference
Like hardware on your kitchen cabinets…who knew?!? We've made a lot of small cosmetic changes to our kitchen that I think have really changed the entire look. Now we can start thinking about the big things like new countertops and backsplash…right Chris??? :)Before:After:Before:After:My parents will get to see all of our "afters" tomorrow because they're coming to visit! They're staying the night here and then we're all heading to Hannibal on Friday to visit Josh, Melissa and precious little ...
A Work in Progress
When we found out that Chris' company was going to keep him on the project in the St. Louis area we did what anyone would do…started looking for houses on the internet. And believe it or not, the first house listing I ever e-mailed to Chris was the one we live in today!

This before and after is the first of hopefully many!Guest ...
Couch Potatoes
That's what we might be tomorrow if the meteorologists are right about the snow. They're saying 4-8 inches (although it's not doing anything yet) and Chris' manager already told everyone not to come to work. So looks like it's just the 2 of us and our brand…new…couch! Yeah, thank you Macy's for beating the snow storm and delivering today! Chris' beloved LED TV arrives on Monday and will go down in the basement too…who knows if I'll ever see him again!!! ...
Ice Cream Sandwich
Sunday evening timeline:7:00 - cozy up on the couch to watch some DVRed shows and enjoy my favorite dessert (this week anyway)--a skinny cow ice cream sandwich, YUM.8:00 - still watching TV, with some facebook intermixed 9:00 - Chris decides to play NCAA football 2010 on his sweet new PS3. After about 45 minutes I realize that this game is starting to make me hate the K-State fight song so I decide it's time to leave. I refuse to let a silly video game affect my school pride. So I head into ...
5 Best Things About New Years Eve
5. Walking into Laurie's Place to watch Mo' Pleasure…only to find out there were 5 people there and Mo wasn't playing until Saturday. Bummer! But at least Jeff got his $3.50 pitcher of Natty!4. Emily winning $40 at Lumiere Place on the most awesome game ever--Wheel of Fortune Slots! Britt and I learned how to play craps…and more importantly, I learned never to play them again!!! We won't even talk about how Chris and Jimmy came out…3. Playing beer pong on a "Southern Illinois Beer Pong ...
