Long-Distance Fun!

As some of you know, I'm doing the "long-distance" thing between Milwaukee and Philly. Blah. For those of you in the same boat, here are some ideas to bridge the gap.

SKYPE SKYPE SKYPE!!!
1. Watch a movie together at the same time (We even pause/fast forward to make sure we're on the same frame - haha!)
2. Scrabble on Facebook interactively
3. Sporcle games together (It's even fun on your own!)
4. AIM, Gmail, FB chat
5. other quizzes/games online together
6. e-cards (I especially enjoy Hoops & Yoyo!)
7. phone calls, texts, pix messages (Thank you, iPhone for finally figuring out the pix message feature!)
8. CD with favorite songs
9. good 'ole fashioned snail mail cards/letters
10. date-in-a-package
11. go on a walk "together" (talking on the phone)

12. save up the (lots of) money it costs to see each other in person (NEVER FLY UNITED - i won't even link you to their website - . . . unless you want them to screw up and get a free flight, but only if it's "their error." idiots.)

If you have any other ideas for me/us, please pass them along! We're always looking for something new to do together!

(Also, enjoy all of the links ... the Packer game is pretty bad so I had fun putting a little something extra into this post.)

It's just not the same ...

...without all of you around! I miss you all!

Back home again in ... oh, wait! Wrong song!

with how much i LOVE winter, i'm sure it comes to you as no surprise that i moved back to wisconsin! (*cough* sarcasm *cough*)

i'm up here living with my family (jake and i are roomies again after a long absence), and going to grad school at marquette university in milwaukee. i am getting a masters of arts in christian doctrine. i miss all of my friends in indiana A TON, but am looking forward to this adventure of getting my butt kicked by some awesome jesuit priests!

hopefully i'll be a little better at writing something fun on here now that i need plenty of reasons to put my books down and procrastinate. :)

in the meantime, i bring you a flashback for those of you who in indiana who always said that my mom sounded like bobby's mom! don't'cha know!

50th Post!

Flunking ... with Style!

these crack me up (thanks, joanna!) ... even if you've already seen some of them, that doesn't make them any less hilarious.
