Word of the Day

Hey guys! I hope it works out to see each other soon, woo hoo!
The Word of the Day (from MINIUSA.com, as in MINI Cooper) is

Rockupied: When you are physically unable to leave the car until a song is over.

Isn't that cool? I love (heart, heart) MINIUSA.com!

Oh I forgot to mention that I saw Kevin (for the last time for, I'm afraid, a long time) last week and is was neat to hang out with him a the beach and at the Midi for a little bit. I cannot believe he is leaving soon for Honduras soon! Oh our true REVOLUTIONARY grows up so fast!

Hope all is going well for you on this Monday. Take care all, and Britt nice picture! While you were at that sandy place, did you see our favorite poli sci person, Jeff Morency there? j/k!
lovies, me

Repeat repeat of email I sent you...

How is life? Hopefully going well!

What do you think would work best? A weekend or try and do it during the week?
Britt- you cannot do it any time after Sunday Aug 14th right?
Keely- what weekend are you coming home? Sat/Sun Aug 13/14? Or a different weekend?
Megs- Hello! How are you? Do you have any things to work around?

Should we try and plan it the first weekend in August (Sat/Sun Aug 6/7)?
OR
Do we try and do it during the week? I would be able to do it anytime between Monday Aug 15th- Friday Aug 19th. OR Thursday Aug 25th- Friday Aug 26th. If Britt cannot do it anytime after Aug 14th I will be unable to do it during the week, as noted by the above dates, unfortunately...

And as much and I don't want to say this- if it works out better for me not to go because I cannot get off during the week, I guess I can deal with it and not go... but I would cry and pout and wish I was there the whole time!
So I am not sure what you guys are thinking... just trying to figure things out especially because I have to deal with moving in at Madison and quiting TGIFridays... yippy.

Anywho! I hope you are all doing well! Sounds like everyone is keeping busy which I assume (perhaps VERY wrongly) that are also then staying out of trouble! hehehe.. Come on I need juicy boy info! Ok here is mine- Andy and I got married, I am Mrs. Brigham now... hahaha... totally j/k!

Have a stellar days girls!

Muchos of lovie dovies!

Yeah YMCA camps!

So I'm not gonna lie, this blogging thing is not quite as exciting as getting tons of emails that fill my inbox. Tear.
Nonetheless, I love you guys.
My weekend situation is weird. I don't finish work until 6 or 7ish on Fridays and I am supposed to be back at 11am on Sundays. For those of you keeping track, that gives me about 40 hours to drive to DuNord, chill, canoe, be the maid of honor at Keely's and Tom Kain's wedding, and drive back. Now that obviously seems a bit unreasonable. However, the weeks that I lifeguard (which in general I get to choose--except next week, during which I must counsel), I can usually ask to get off early and I can sometimes skip Sundays altogether. So this is what I am going to say...
I can go any weekend as long as I have enough time in advance to tell my boss that I can't counsel. Does any of this make sense? So in sum, I can go any weekend except this weekend. Oh yeah, and also my mom's birthday is August 14th, so I can't go then either.
Ummm...and anytime after August 14th I will be at camp so I can't go.
Ok, so now that I have been clear about my schedule for the next few weeks, I will leave.
Peace and Lovies,
Britt

Weekends

Ok guys...
This is my weekend situation:

Sat/Sun July 23/24 = not working
Sat/Sun July 30/31 = don't know if working or not
Sat/Sun Aug 6/7 = don't know if working or not
Sat Aug 13 = Wedding (but could skip it) Sun Aug 14= nothing
Sat/Sun Aug 20/21 = might be moving in at Madison
Sat/Sun Aug 27/28 = weekend before classes start but it could work to still visit

I am done at my internship on Fri Aug 12, but even though I am done there and will not be moving to Madison until later, I will still be at CSB because I will probably be working at TGIFridays. I plan have my last day at TGIF on Fri Aug 19.
(Keels- there is no weekend of Aug 17/18... when are you going home?)

What weekends look good for people? What weekdays look good for people after Aug 12? I could possible try and get time off during the week if that works better (after Aug 12). Should we consider that? Let me know what others are thinking...

hey dudes

Woo Hoo, you guys should really come visit!! The weekend of AUg 17th/18th probably woudl not be the best..cause i think that is the weekend i am comming home. Ang AUg 3rd/4th isn't a weekend (but i assume you are talking abotu the 5th/6th) so yeah, either of the other two would be great! This is the coolest week of campers ever...they are all just really cool. And yeah, camp is good. My sister is up here right now as an LDP...so i get to be in charge of her, which is kinda fun. ha, cause she actually has to listen to me. ummmm, yeha, ok, i gotta go. miss you all. and you should all send me letters in the real mail.

Since I did not write enough yesterday...

Hey all!

Just thought I would let you all know what my other email address will be. I will have my gmail one: tjboyer@gmail.com, my hotmail one: taraboyer24@hotmail.com, and my U of Wisconsin- Madison one: tboyer@wisc.edu. I will have my csbsju one: tjboyer@csbsju.edu until August 20th. I would recommend emailing the gmail account one though because my hotmail one is sort of just for crap email- like if I sign up for something, etc.

Hope all is still well! Come to the party Saturday, woo hoo!

Lots of LOVIES

PARTY this Saturday...

I realize that I just posted a while ago (as a comment to Britt's first post), but I want to post again in case I do not have a chance later today.

First of all~ WELCOME Comrade BRITT to the blog! Woo hoo! Glad you could finally join us... it was getting cold and lonely without our 4th comrade... And the lively banter was just not quite the same without you. What do you think about the background? Do you (all) like the green? Should I test another? Britt! You missed the beautiful pink we had for awhile when I first got this one up and running...

OK... where to start? MEGS!!! Did you get a call from Andy Dirksen yesterday??? Yeah he is having a PARTY this Saturday (Saturday July 9th). You should totally be there! (Bring Tedd along, I chatted with Andy and he said that Tedd is totally invited also) Actually ALL are invited... just let Dirk or Mark know so they know about how many people are going to be there. It is starting around 5pm or 6pm. Andy (and Mark Hoffman) are throwing a party, similar to the times when we were still in school (odd to say that) and because of the birthday girl MEGS. He is trying to keep it CSB/SJU 05 class. They are starting off with a BBQ and some socializing and there is talk of going to the St. Joe bars later on at night... BRITT do you really have to go to Chicago this weekend? Can you come back just for Dirk's party on Saturday night? KEELS! Drive down from camp... you know you want to! OK that is my plug for the PARTY that you all are invited to!


Well update on AB and I. AB is working at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, so I have been making trips down to Roch (which is actually only like 1hour from my hometown Albert Lea) and he has been making trips to St. Bens as well. I think I have pretty much seen him every weekend. Amazing now that I think about it... He met most of my Mom's side of the family on the 4th of July at my aunt and uncle's house in Waseca, and he handled it well. That is something I noticed about AB- even though he does not know someone, he treats them like he has known them forever. My aunts (aunt Ann in particular) really likes him I guess. He passed that hurdle but what awaits him on my Dad side of the family is far, far more difficult (my dad has 14 siblings and they all have at least 2 children). So hmm... what else? Oh we finally decided what our 'anniversary' date will be. Silly you say? I also think that, but at the end of the semester as you all know, it was a bit hazy as to what AB and I actually was. I think he thinks we started dating far before I considered us a couple... hmm... I wonder why? BUT we decided May 3rd (the day we went to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch a Twins game together during Finals Week) as our date. Things are going well overall for us... it is odd to think though that I have been dating him now for about 3 months though!

Oh also found a place in Madison to live. I will be living at an apartment complex called 'Camelot.' Yeah... really exciting! I am living with a girl that has lived there for 2 years. Her name is Nicole Navis, I met her a couple of weekends ago. She seems nice enough and I think it will work for the time being. Feels weird to say I will be moving there in like a little over a month!

About dates to visit
KEELS! I think I read your email correctly, but let me know Keels if these are not days that would work. MEGS & BRITT either the weekend of July 23rd/24th or August 3rd/4th would work for me but I also have to check my schedule at TGI-Fridays (which I just got a job at and am working at for the first time tonight). So actually the weekend of August 17th/18th might be better to shoot for. What do you think? I will definitely check my schedule tonight and figure out what weekend will work best. Sorry to take so long!

KEELS- hope camp is going well! I am glad you are able to post when you do! How are you BFs doing? You have like 3 of them right? Oh wait what about Tom Kain? Are you sure he is 'into' Katie? He might be using her as a cover to talk to you a lot... think about it!

BRITT- sounds like camp is fun! You get to ride horses? I am SO jealous of you! I LOVE riding horses! I am not jealous about the puking though! Yikes! I hope you are feeling better! Oh and have fun in Chicago, but come back for the party on Saturday ok? Why are you going to Chicago, by the way? Visiting a BF???

MEGS (aka soon-to-be-birthday-girl)- hey hun! What is going on? How is life? How is Tedd? I was wondering what you were doing this weekend? Do you (and Tedd) think you would be able to come to the party on Saturday night up here? If not, are you doing anything on Saturday during the day??? I would LOVE to come visit/have lunch/cuddle with you for your birthday! woo hoo! But I understand that you might already have plans/work, so just let me know ok? I will call ok? But do let me know if you can about this coming weekend. I work Friday night and Sunday morning/afternoon, so that is why I say Saturday.

Ok this is far longer than I hoped for but you asked for it! I hope everyone has a super day and will post as much as me cause I miss you all and LOVE to hear all your crazy stories! (even ones I don't get!)

MUCHOS OF LOVIES!!!

Fret No Longer!

Fear no longer ladies of my revolution. I have come back from the dead! Actually, I was waiting to see if you guys were gonna be picked up by the Feds before I attached my name to this site. But I have decided that if you guys go to jail, I will have nothing to live for, so I may as well go down with you.
For real though, sorry about the whole not writing thing. Camp has recently taken over my life and we have no internet. I have been living there most of the time and when I come home, it is only to do some much needed errands and then to head back to camp.
So hmmmm...what have you missed in my life? Well, there has been a whole lot of kayaking, some swimming, ummm...a hell child with severe ADHD, a bucking horse (my tailbone still hurts!), a midnight evacuation of my campers from trail, 2 days throwing up (legit sickness!), many drinking excursions, a few nights where I was high as a kite, and thats about that.
This week is pretty sweet. I am living at home right now cause I am leaving on Friday to go to Chicago. I think I'm gonna be in Chi-town for about a week and then I come back here for some more camp fun! Ye haw! I am going to be totally worn out in about a week. Man oh man.
So how bout you guys? I have gotten to read a bit about your lives, but I feel totally out of the loop. What did everybody do for the fourth? (I was in my bed puking my guts out, fyi.) And the boy situation...I want details...Even you, Keely.
Ok, I have to go eat dinner now cause otherwise I'm going to knaw off my arm but I promise to be better at this posting thing now.
Peace and Lovies from your recently found revolution-mate,
Britt

Seriously girls, where is Britt???

Do you think she's still alive even??? Keels, I am in the process of writing you a letter. So far, it does not contain an ode, but give me time... and inspiration and it shall... I missies you girls! Tara, pick a weekend for Ely and I'll make it happen... Maybe I ought to give Britt a call on the ol' tellie-phone... What thinks my fellow revolutionettes??? Lovies, Meghan

green=mucho awesome

Haha, ok, i do like the green. But i really don't care what the color actually is. The 4th is tomrrow, i think....right? Its just a normal day here at camp, but i have the day after off, cause i took the LDPs out on trail this weekend. (Which was awesome). I think we should kick Britt out of our revolution for not participating. Maybe she is plotting against us secretly. Or (gasp) maybe she is turning republican like we all know she will someday. Anyways, you guys should for real start working on a weekend to come up here, cause it would be awesome!! Ummmmm, lets see.....I feel like i am not hearing enough good gossip from you two (and Britt, but she is just a loser for not taking to us at all). Ok, time to go

Whoa whoa whoa...

Hey girlies!
I hope everyone is have a wonderful Friday before the 4th of July! I am sitting here at work... it is only 11am and I just want to be done!!! I am hitting in the student worker area, pretending that I am scanning images for Tim my supervisor for some CD he wants done. I am so glad he does not know technology well. Of course this might be a mindless task for an intern, but on a day like today I am glad to do something mindless. Enough bitch'n!

How you do you like the changes??? Keels, I know you just excepted the beautiful PINK, but I thought I would treat you guys with something different. I could change it every week (but there is not all that much variety to choose from and some are really ugly) but just let me know! I can certainly change it back to the wonderful PINK!

OH and hilarious comment about Cassese Megs! I laughed out loud when I read it! It was amazing! I too keep mine close to my heart and bed for light reading...

Happy 4th of July! Stay safe and don't get burned by sparkler fireworks!
LOVIES!
