Month: October 2005

  • Thoughtathat: so September ended and no one woke me up
    kwhitson525: well, to be fair, you’d have to go to SLEEP for anyone to WAKE YOU UP


    Joe the peacemaker. Beth the sweetheart. Joe the suspicious. Joe the I
    could entertain you all day in an Old Navy store. Joe the can’t I buy
    everything I want in this store. Happily taken by me.

    Meet Frank! I met him at UW-Stevens Point at an Involvement Fair while
    I was setting up a tree climbing booth and he was setting up a Model UN
    booth (Maryann, this is how I know about it!). Somehow, Frank applied
    for Exec Director while I was President, and Renee the VP and I knew he
    would be perfect. Now, he’s in my HR class as a former employee of
    mine…the irony! Taken by my outstretched right arm.

    I had to post a picture of my mom! How could I not…but she’s often
    taking the pictures. Chicago’s downtown from the Sears Tower. Perry and
    his girlfriend, Katie, with the kiddies. Christina lounging in their
    hotel’s rooftop pool! Taken by other excellent people.

    Some randomness (as Melina would say): I had no idea there was so much
    ice in that cup… Just trying to maximize the stud-factor in this
    entry. Matt from school/Chi Alpha (follow his link for additional U2 pics he uploaded). One of my favorite pictures of all
    time! Chris was sliding across the wood floor in his socks. Proof that
    I am wasting away. Seriously, I keep losing weight and this cold is not
    helping. Plus the green tea I’m drinking? Does wonders for weight loss!
    Not what I’m looking for being below the normal weight curve! Taken by me, me, me, and mom.

    We had our company picnic two weeks ago. (Can you tell how far behind I
    am with posting pictures???) Very diverse as you can imagine being a
    landscape company! The tree crew beat the landscape crew in volleyball,
    but the Mexicans kept womping on the Gringos… Victoria and Zoe are
    clashing! The joys of being homeschooled! Gotta get all the siblings
    covered here – Beth and Chris. Taken by mom – she would die without a camera. It’s

    This is from the wedding today. My cousin Peter and Andrea are now
    married! The service went very well, and I had a good low-pressure
    introduction into being an usher. Not the Usher…
    but the tuxedos were fabulous! I felt like a million dollars…maybe it
    had to do with my dancing partner. On the right, my 17 year-old
    cousin Walter (who’s almost 6’4″) is playing the bagpipes he bought on
    eBay two months ago. He was pretty good! Taken by mom.

    Perry, Perry and Perry. (Jessica, I’m
    just doing this to bother you.) I prefer no-flash for more natural
    colors… But to round out the family, my aunt Ann who flew in from
    California and my granddad who’s moving out here in a month. Taken by me and mom.

    Which, by
    the way, is a great cause for a road trip! I’m driving his moving truck from New York to
    Milwaukee at the end of October. Stop recommendations? World’s largest
    prairie dog
    maybe? Oh wait…not in Pennsylvania…
