new favortites

i don't usually post this kind of stuff, but walking around aggieville this week i've spotted some great finds, and even though my birthday isn't until april {april fool's, to be exact} i thought i'd let you all in on my budding "gift list": {really it's all just an excuse to show you what i like}

weekend update III (finally)

finally, the photos from last saturday!

it got very cold so we all donned our coats and hats for the day:

josh took them on a tour of the campus while i worked for a couple hours.

we then spent the evening in aggieville at the 8th annual chili crawl. (we barely got tickets!) you take your ticket to 10 different bars and restaurants and get a small bowl of chili at each location and then go to coldstone for dessert.

we decided to rate each location, so we came prepared with our own score cards:

this was not one of our favorite places:

while jon and josh were busy watching the michigan game, alicia and i ended the evening by stealing josh's keys and decorating his office.

yes, that is "the hulk" wrapping paper on his bulletin board (and maze and blue streamers hanging on his bookshelf and desk) i think he got a kick out of it when he found it on sunday :)

weekend stories part II

here's how we spent the rest of our friday:

maiden voyage of the moped!

i was really trying hard to start it here:

alicia had much more luck:

sight-seeing and shopping around the city

aggieville shops:

that's right, is super mrsa!

a toy store downtown sells stuffed germs and diseases.
awesome.

stopped by sonic for happy hour ("happy time")
and walked around downtown

one store had a sign that said,
"unattended children will be given espresso, lots of sugar, a new puppy and then returned to their parents"
