"the dundies"

these pictures of our volleyball team are long overdue...

our favorite characters...or ones we thought would be best on a t-shirt

we only have one more game until the playoffs. right now i think we are um...5 or 6 out of 8 teams...and i think only the top 4 teams go to playoffs, but we'll see. we lost the first 2 games last night, but won the last! and it was the #1 team! so, that was a little bit of a self esteem booster!!

the league has been so much fun! i hope everyone's ready to play in the Spring league too!!


[of course pics were taken by puremotif.]

pain in the arm.

on Monday, kc and i took a grueling [fairly easy, go at your own pace, didn't break a sweat] weights & abs class. for some reason, one exercise MURDERED my left arm. i'm not sure what happened - if those 3lb weights were ridiculously too much, if i did the exercise wrong or if i just randomly pulled a muscle. it's been on and off hurting since then [more so when i'm at work, and my arm is resting on my desk], but you would know this if you follow me on twitter or facebook :). anyway, hopefully its going to continue to improve [it feels better today] because we plan on going back on Monday and i'm starting a volleyball league with my cousin, Stace and friend from work and her friends.

PS: our volleyball team is made up of friends who LOVE THE OFFICE. we've named ourselves "The Dundies", with awesome shirts [designed by myself and rachers]. this is the best pic i have as of right now:

i'm looking forward to a low-key weekend of Meta Cafe tonight, not much other than some cleaning & hanging out tomorrow and singing at church on Sunday.

also, i enjoyed the office last night. it's great watching it at my sister & brother-in-law's, because every time i look at brian he has his face in his hands from major 3PE, which makes me laugh even more.

superbowl!!

i'm SUPER excited about the superbowl. why? because the office has a 1-hour episode on AFTER it!!!!!!!!

i just watched this video and laughed SO HARD. i love the office!!!





kc wants to make chicken tortilla soup on Sunday. i need to do some laundry!! tomorrow i'm meeting my cousin and her friend for lunch and then going to hibachi w/ josh and his brother & sister-in-law! can't wait for this weekend!!

prizes!

first, yay friday.

[i've been checking the mail religiously this week for this :)]

winning things such as this make me want to host my own blog-give-away. however, i have no idea what i would be giving away. i mean, my blog is mostly about cupcakes, design, fun stationary and random things about my life. what would be a good themed thing to give away? i can't give away cupcakes...unless the winner is from erie [ok, i literally wrote "winnder" 8 times. like, seriously. 8]. what is something you wouldn't mind winning?

wait, let me clarify:
what is something that someone like me could purchase and give away that you wouldn't mind winning?

i won!?

check it out - i won!!!

lack of...

i apologize for my lack of reading, commenting and blogging of my own. things have been crazy busy...as is the ushe.

• i've had 3-4 volleyball games or practices a week. this requires leaving early from work very often, meaning no time at work to blog.
• lappy is broken. hopefully i'll be sending her back today. this is why i haven't blogged at home.
• work is crazy. we're busy. it's good, but stressful. especially when i have to leave early.
• the shirts i bought the girls last week were "rejected" by the school. they told me they need to be approved to be worn as jerseys at games, and that they pretty much wouldn't be approved at all. so, they got to wear them for the tourny and a game, but that's about it. they can wear them to warm up in and to travel in, so that's good at least. i understand their rules...sort of...but i also think it's stupid.
  
• the volleyball team is doing pretty well. JV is having a rough time, but the varsity girls are really impressing me this year. too bad 7 out 0f 9 of the varsity girls will be gone next year.
  
• i'm SO EXCITED ABOUT FALL. seriously. i love it. when the leaves start to change i'm going to make josh go with my on my annual fall picture-taking walk. my plan is to go to wintergreen gorge by my house. it's very pretty there. but seriously, there is something about fall that really...just...effects me. i have an idea of what it could be.
  
• i have two potential halloween parties to go to this year. i'm excited.
  
• um, KC and i move in to our apartment in TWO WEEKS! i can't believe it. we are going to try to get our furniture and other things tomorrow! ahhhhh excited!!!!!!!
  
• one week until the office season premiere!!! holy mother, i am SO EXCITED. i had a dream last night that jim proposed to pam in the premiere. i am going to make my cuz cuz bekah come over and watch episodes with me and bring her office dvd game :)

a few fall pics to get you in the mood :)

so excited!!!!!!!!
