pottery class

so this week i started my pottery class, its an 8 week class at the wellsville creative arts center. right near where i work. it was alot of fun. i tried atleast 4 pots and only 2 actually made it. but then i cut them in half to make sure the thickness was good. next week i should be able to keep one of them i hope. it was so fun though. the place is so cool too, its a coffee house/art place. they have lots of classes. it reminds me a bit of zopies and starbucks in one. oh and an art class. too bad no ska bass player works there. :)

no tv again this week.

we are headed to syracuse for the weekend and taking off monday so we can watch the superbowl up there. i bet grammy, grampy, and auntie b cant wait for the pom poms and the beast :)

no tv week

so this week ryan and i have sworn off two things, tv and beer. i am not allowed to watch tv and ryan is not allowed to drink beer. so far we have got alot done this week. we are trying to finish the basement and i am suppose to be helping. its hard though not watching my shows. on the weekend i can catch up though. tonight we get to watch 1 show - grey's cause our DVR can only handle two shows... so that is nice.
we are also going to bed early which i love. i wonder how long this will last. i am hoping a month. but we will see, ryan loves his beer. :)

shrimpies

i think thats how you spell it... anyways plural shrimp. thats what we won. 6 lbs of shrimp. we were lucky. i wanted some lobsta tail and filets but we didnt win that.
and its a steak and shrimp raffle, i'm sure little ol'olean isnt the only place that has them. i bet snobby manlius has them :P
overall the night was fun, we drank free beer, well i didnt since i was dd. but everyone else did. ate a lot of really good food. and won some shrimp. so we'll bring shrimp to the super bowl party this year.

so are you doing the amazing race pool becky??? i think you should.

SNOW!!!

we have over a foot of snow- it is so nice! we played last night after work with the pups in the snow and then again this morning. Linus and Murphy just love it. Patty not so much. She sits by the fence waiting to get back in. she is such a princess sometimes. we video taped the playing today. I've never seen Murphy so happy.
And Ryan got to use the plow on the 4-wheeler too. since we bought that plow i think we have only needed to use it 4 times.

Today i need to get some pictures copied and go to the grocery store. we are out of everything. tonight we are going to some raffle at the high school. should be a good time i suppose.

we saw Over the Hedge last night, i thought it was pretty good. funny. and it was only an hour which was a bonus. then we watched Ricky bobby. i thought that was good too. next netflix i have coming is breakfast at tiffanys. I'm so excited to see that one.


so everyone who is in for survior- send me your money

survivor pool

so i checked out survivor:fiji. there are 19 contestants this time. not sure how we can divide this one up. either we need 19 people and everyone gets just one person or we wait until after the first week and then draw names.
so let me know if you are in this time. (its $5)

grammar mistakes

i got an interesting email at work today, i'll post a portion of it because it really made me feel stupid...
i'll premise this with the fact that i sent him an email asking for something, and he was confused with what i wanted. so this is the third email iteration.

****Actually you were very UN-clear describing what you needed. I really enjoy doing this sort of stuff. But it is essential that you be precise in your project descriptions. Please re-read your emails for clarity and grammar mistakes. Next time you write to me, save it in drafts, then come back to it in an hour and proofread it. (I was an English major in college.) Since I work 2nd-shift, it won't get to me any sooner anyway.***

my parents are at the SU basketball game today, hopefully syracuse will win.


GO EAGLES!!!!

a long time

wow its been a while since i have updated, i cant believe i haven't got any harassing email from becky.
we are watching syriana tonight- i hope its good.
not too much is going on here in portville. my friend nicole and her husband are coming to visit for the weekend, we are having a game night at our house saturday night.
i think we are going to start trying again discipline patty and linus, get them to listen to us. murphy is well on his way to being the best listener, if only he would stop peeing on things. we went to ryans parents and he peed on their basement pole and the bed. agh.
ryan has been finishing the basement, he put up a little room for storage- it looks very nice. I'll have to take some pictures and post them. he finally finished the shed last weekend, started it in april 2005 - finished january 2007. record time :)
