Was in menards tonight and saw a large pack of jack links on special and bought it. $10 for 20.
2 of the best fund raisers we have had are butter braids and little Caesers pizza packs. They both sell very well. Son is just wrapping up his butterbraids delivery and he sold around 70 without much trouble and gets $6/each.
So far just in the looking stage. She has told me what she likes so I have an idea of what to look for and I don't go totally astray. Also, we both hate spending money so this won't exactly break the bank. At the end if the day it's not about what's on her finger, it's about why it's there. So far the plan is to make it official sometime in the spring/early summer so that we have a year to plan a wedding, as well as I'll be graduated and working full time by the time of the wedding. If I would have graduated last spring like I would have if I hadn't switched majors our timeline would move forward but we don't want to try to get married when I'm still in school. Sometimes it seems a little crazy talking about a wedding after dating for 6 months but when you know you know I guess.
Come up with this great plan tonight. Had a few doubts but figure it would work. Pickups were full so I took the kids s10 blazer to pick up a box from menards. I measured and thought this will work.
pull in the yard, tell the the worker we (youngest and I) are red-necking this thing. He looks at the sheet, takes a look front to back at the blazer and says this will be interesting. Son and I grab the box of siding and shove it from rear to front, it hangs 3-4 foot out the back and have to leave the rear window hatch open. Fighting traffic was ok, but by the time we hit clear lake the heater wasn’t keeping up and the 17 degree weather was creeping in. I had to shoulder into the box so I could actually turn the steering wheel. Got home and was froze.

Watching the Tonight show opener...Fallon did a big production number in Austin and on the UT campus. On the stage after the opening number, he invited three of the students that were part of the opening up on the stage, and asked them their names & majors & year in school & home towns. He then told them they had been selected to receive a Samsung package that had a phone, a tablet, & a TV. They were pretty excited. He then took the phone and had them pose for a selfie with him...and while they were posing he told them that Samsung had also decided to pay for the rest of their college tuition (they were all sophomores). Two girls & a boy - the boy picked up on it just a hair later than the girls, but his expression was priceless!
There is something about bagpipes that just draw me in and doesnt let go. Goosebumps/chills everytime.
I was at a funeral recently where they had a piper in the recessional. Man, those pipes can melt your soul!!
It sounds like both of you are approaching this very leveled headed. Future congratulations.
I don't think anybody likes MG in any sport. So much talk and, in tennis at least, questionable in/out calls.She really likes it. I took a car full of kids to the State game at the Bank. I hate losing to MG. It is as bad as losing to Maplebrook in traveling soccer. A lot of the same kids and they play the same way as well. The play rougher than the game needs to be and I was amazed at the amount of talking back at the officials there was.
She is deciding today if she is going to go out for Nordic skiing. She's never CC skied before, but that isn't uncommon. They say 95% of their team members over the years haven't either. If she does at least she will be in shape for soccer in the spring.
The daughter's boyfriend is one of the Nordic boy's team captains.
We were engaged after six months and got married one year to the day after our first date. I still like (and claim) him, so you're in good company.
That's pretty cool Ms3r4ISU.
Wifey-poo and I went ring shopping AFTER we got engaged. Split the cost. We figured, if this was going to work out like it should, there would be no "my money" and "her money." Of course she made a ****-ton more than me at the time. Just celebrated our 29th anniversary this past August.
Woo you making it to Madison tomorrow to cheer on the Badgers? If so cheer loud for the rest of us.
Why does every single website always want you to update your password yet they keep making it harder and harder to find the "change password" part of the page?
