My friends are cooler than yours. Kinda. Ok, not really. But maybe?

Oh man, Levi is going to be so famous soon... and James and I are totally going to make him pay us back for the million of dinners, beers and all around free-loading that he owes us from the past 6 years. 

Levi (pictured above) has been cast as "Buffet Server #1" in the new Fox TV series, "Lone Star" (pictured below), coming out this fall.  How did he get such a prestigious role in such a popular show... well, he didn't really do anything actually.  The show is filming at his work, The Joule Hotel (which is also one of my companies hotels... its a small web in the hospitality industry, trust me).  They asked a few employees if they'd like to partake and he said 'Hell Ya!'  His girlfriend will be planning the role of "Restaurant Server #2".  So keep your eyes peeled.

Their first day of filming is today, I can't wait to hear how it went. 

The show has actually been filming all over Dallas and North Texas lately.  Even sighted in lil' ol' Muenster!  The story line looks dramatic, but you can bet I'll be watching it every week.

Go Pokes.

We've started planning a trip up to Stilly for the OSU vs Baylor game on November 6th.  Yahoo!  It will be our first game to watch in Stillwater (and the new stadium) since we graduated; 5 whole years!  Looking forward to some orange power, waving wheat and all around OkState goodness.

Not looking forward to seeing all the happy-go-lucky college students reminding me that I'm old and stressed. 

Babies!

Last night I watched the movie Babies.  So stinkin' cute.  I think Bayar and his brother from Mongolia were my favorite.  Just goes to show that before we become products of our environment; we're all just babies.

Days Like These....

...that I'm so glad I am married.  Sunday I came down with a little bug in my belly... by Monday morning that bug had turned into a full blown alien.  It was vicious and violent and very unattractive.  James ended up going to work, but came home around 11 after I called to tell him I had past out on the bathroom floor and woke up to find throw-up all over the wall (TMI?). 

I hate being sick, and even more, I hate being sick alone.  Honestly, as I was wallowing in my misery, I kept thinking, thank goodness I have a husband.  Thanks dude for taking care of me, you're top notch.  But maybe the next time you cook, you could not give me food poisoning?

McNamara Alumni Center

While in Minneapolis I toured the new U of M Alumni Center by Antoine Predock.  It's awesome and to be able to walk a building by a famous modern architect is pretty cool too.  Here are some pics, look him up if you get a chance.

The Gopher Way

Hi pals.  I just got back from Minneapolis where the weather was a-maz-ing.  I sat outside at 2 pm, eating my lunch, without the slightest hint of perspiration.  I loved it. 

My new company is developing a great new concept of university hotels and we are looking at a property on the U of M campus.  It's actually a pretty great concept... I could go into the details for days; but the bottomline as Big Al always taught me: Location, location, location.

Anyways, it was great being in cool weather and just as much fun being on a college campus in cool weather.  Hoping to spend more time with the Golden Gophers in the future.

Nothing new

Nothing new going on.... just trying to stay afloat with the new job and keeping my shoes from melting the ground.  Isn't that what August is all about?

Oh how I love me some million degree heat. 

False.
