last night after a long Saturday of meetings and practice and stuff, I met up w/ a bunch of ppl and we headed out to "Cold Stone Creamery" about a mile the highway and indulged ourselves in some ICE FANTASIES!!!

Cold Stone is AMAZING!!! you can mix any of their homemade ice cream flavors with as many toppings as you like, and they have tons to offer. the first time is always overwhelming... hehehehe, ask (e:amanda) . i took her to Cold Stones when she was down here, explained to her the whole process of ordering, but when the time came, she froze... it really is overwhelming.

but now you guys don't need to drive over 150 miles to visit a Cold Stone Creamery because ONE IS OPENING UP RIGHT IN BUFFALO!!!! (well actually Amherst, but close enough) here is a link from the Buffalo News, my mom called me this morning to tell me all about it!!! I'm soo excited for you guys!!!

the only down sides to Cold Stone are the fact that here and apparently a lot of them, the lines are always really long, way out the door (but that just offers you more time to think about what you might want to order), and the fact that every time you tip them, all the workers start to belt out some Disney song or something but they just change the words around to ice cream and Cold Stone (but again, some people really like that, i guess that's why they always tip...)

but when it does open, be sure to GO!!! and if you feel you might get a bit overwhelmed by all the choices, then ask (e:amanda) to take you... by now she can show you how its done ;)

and (e:amanda), can you guess what i ordered??? ;)

I just scheduled my FIRST EVER job interview!!! one of the companies i had given my resume to last week at the little career fair had called me back and i now have an interview scheduled for next tuesday at 11:30!!!

I know I'm such a dork, but I'm really excited, not that i think I'm gonna get this job or even that i really want it, it's construction management, but the fact that i actually have an interview is just sooo exciting to me right now!!!

ok, enough of that excitement, i need to get back to work... (stupid school work, of course ;) )

eeek, there has been lots of yelling around here about near naked lady covered in food, but check this out
people are selling their bodies as advertising space, how strange...

i guess you can advertise anywhere, head, shoulders, knees and toes, and everything inbetween as well...

just what would you be advertising for??? and who would do this???

maybe you'll see a pic of my leg with a big "oscar mayer bologna" advertisement ;)

oh, looks like you guys are getting a lot of snow, haha

those snow flakes that i get to shovel will never cease to amaze me :) but what am i gonna do once winter is over??? applying some spf when the sun comes out??? nope doesn't sound nearly as exciting as shoveling snow flakes...

but i can't get to sleep and have to be up at 5:00 tomorrow for practice, and did i mention i can't get to slee??? i hate this!!!

and i really don't care for snow, but i could sooo go for a good old snow day tomorrow ;)

hurricane season was too short...

well peace out :)

ok, so I've had a pretty busy weekend, ahhh, and it's only saturday night... but tomorrow morning after 7:30 am, it will all be over and I'll have a chance to resume to my normal weekend!!!

Oh, i was so busy cuz i had a recruit this weekend... that just means that a girl who is interested in coming here next year to row was staying with me for the past 2 days... it was a lot of fun, we got to go to nice restaurants and do fun little touristy stuff and even after living here 4 years, i still love doing that stuff!!!

but tonight!!! the 3 recruits, the 4 hosts, our 4 coaches and our team manager all went out to China Grille out on south beach. people have talked about going there before and how good it is, but i had never been there and never really thought much of it, just that it's really really expensive and it's in south beach so it's gotta be a special occasion ;)

ok, but it's "family style" i guess, so you order big huge "things" and just pass it all around and share... but with 12 of us that pretty much meant ordering pretty much everything on the entire menu (it seemed) and eating it all.... it was crazy.

the appetizers, the sushi (I'll get back to that), then the entrees, and then the desserts.... but it was literally sooo much food it was insane!!! but sooo good!!!!

ok, so to the sushi!!! now freshman year (3 yrs ago) i attempted to eat sushi one night when a few girls from my team dragged me out to "experience sushi" or something like that... well i think i had a California roll or whatever the "easiest" thing was and i was really about to spit it right up, i couldn't get over the chewy-ness. it felt like i was chewing on flesh, not like i ever did that, but i figured if i did, that's what it would be like...

so for the past 3 years i have stayed far far away from it... until tonight

and now is when i wish i had a camera phone or something... it was the most interesting looking thing, i just had to try it, only 4 ppl were eating it and everyone kept telling me to go for it... SO I DID!!! and IT WAS SOOO GOOD!!!! and they turned the lights down real low just in time so i really couldn't see the piece of salmon flesh covering it. but it was really sooo good!!! they were saying that that was the best sushi they have ever had so maybe i jumped into the good stuff too fast and really don't like normal sushi, but regardless, look what i have been missing all these years, I'm actually tempted to try out that all you can eat sushi place now!!!

just not tonight, I'm still pretty full from that dinner, yummy!!! and what do you know, all free!!! go recruits!!!
