unbelievable

thats the only way to describe the survivor episode last night. i was so fuming that james did not use one of his TWO immunity idols! idiot! i was mad, but i think ryan was even madder at him. i cant wait to see him at the end in the jury...i like what he said in the end though. it was so true.
i'm wondering how next week will go with trying to get todd off, i'm not sure that will work.... i am officially out of the running

thanksgiving exhaustion

i am so tired from my week off in portville... yesterday i slept 9 hours at night- took a 2 hour nap and still wanted to go to bed early. in between sleeping i dragged myself around the house putting up tape for ryan to paint a bedroom and hallway. (it looks very nice) cutting the hedges by the road, shopping for things, making dinner, and eating ryans leftover birthday cake... yummmy. thank god we came home saturday to give me a day to sleep. i wouldnt be very useful at work if we hadnt.

the week was fun though. the surprise 30th birthday party for ryan was a success. he was shocked...he had no clue. it was fun. Alot of people came so that was good. i think 3 pieces of cake were eaten though so we have alot leftover. i told ryan we can freeze it and eat it on his real birthday.

shopping friday morning wasnt as successful. I didnt get the GPS i was suppose to. i did get a cheap bluetooth though. so now i have to shop everyday for the gps. target had a good sale yesterday but when i went they were all sold out. the woman told me to call everyday to see if any came in.

i'll post my pictures once i upload them...becky tooks tons for me at the party.

trips

I am in syracuse this morning- it has been a driving weekend. friday night we drove 7 hours to portville (7 because ryan left his wallet at work and we had to go back through traffic to get it) then sunday morning i drove to fayetteville to get the beds and dresser my parents are giving me. today i will be driving back to portville. then i shouldnt be driving again until next saturday. pheew.

luanne is the only one with both people left...

penn state game

well the penn state- temple football game yesterday was fun. it never rained, thank god. funny ryan story:
on the drive down we ran into a little traffic and ryan was getting all bent out of shape because... he wanted to get there before kickoff... and he wanted to see them practicing... and he didnt want to miss any of it. he wanted me to get everything ready, the blankets, the camera, everything. so when we got there we were ready to go. Game kickoff is at noon, we parked at 11:10 am. there were two couples parked right behind us and i get out and quickly get my hat, mittens, scarf on and come around the other side of the truck to find that ryan has started chatting with the two couples next to us. apparently one was in a buffalo bills jersey... then they offer us beer and i expect ryan to be all oh no we have to go. but he takes one! and then two and three. amazing what beer does to him! so then its 11:55am and we still are tailgating... then we have to run to the stadium and rush around to get our lunch and we missed the first two touchdowns of penn state.

they ended up killing temple 31-0. it was a good time though. its the same stadium the eagles play in. most of the fans were penn state, so i felt bad for temple- since it was their home game.

here are pics of the house and the game

saturday

unpacking update: we bought a nice desk off craigs list today and have our computer off the cardboard boxes. we also got our router working which took alot longer than it should have. our downstairs is almost all unpacked. our upstairs is a disaster.

today we are going to the penn state-temple football game. the weather is always looking out for me when i go to football games...i think its a sign to not go to football games. today is going to be rainy with a high of 45 degrees.

finally they got rid of that john robert..he really annoyed me. i'm thinking i have a good shot with the guy who has both immunity idols and the ability to win any physical indivdual immunity. lets hope i'm right-

moving

so the movers came on friday (they were ~2 hours late) and it took them almost 6 hours to unpack us. and thats just moving the boxes and furniture in, not unpacking the boxes. we have way too much stuff. and its a fact that our garage in portville was ALOT bigger than our new one. my poor bug is sitting outside in the rain until we can get some room in the garage. its been very overwhelming to unpack...i find myself doing a little, then sitting down. :) ryans parents came to visit this weekend also. rick cut down 4 trees and trimmed the branches off 2 more. our yard looks great now- he also weeded the garden. yvonne helped unpack alot. and we got the dining room painted. i will take some pics of the new house and share them.

Very late with the survivor update...almost able to do two updates at once.
