I made ribs (the pork variety) yesterday. :) I'm almost domestic, Mom. Em, they turned out pretty good! Really simple, too.

Volleyball has settled down into a somewhat normal routine now, and our house has couches and will soon sport a futon as well. We're ready to roll for this year, I suppose. Classes start on Thursday, in two days. Our first game is on Friday. So soon! I'm looking forward to it, though.

I have found a new website I like. It's called Cooking for Engineers. Nope, not kidding at all, and it's exactly what I need too, imagine that. :)

I spent a buttload on books and I only got 3 this quarter. Hopefully I can beg borrow or steal for next quarter. Alright, that's all I got for now. Later!

Short on Supplies

I have vegetables on my hand. Got an X-ray today for a jammed finger. Nothing's wrong with it except the size. It's a little puffy, thus the vegetables on my hand.

There's not much else going on. Just volleyball. I took Tylenol nighttime stuff so I'm about ready to hit the sack. At 8, yep. All done with two-a-days though! Later taters.

Two-a-days are like dying without the reward of death at the end.

One Down

One two-a-day down, three more to go. I'm surprised we only have 4 this year, but I'm glad. I really think two-a-days do nothing for you except lots of reps with the ball. It's a tearing down of your body with no time for building your muscles back up.

We had our first puker yesterday morning. Poor little freshman.

Well, I need to head down to the gym soon. Can't wait to see everyone!

I don't know how it's looking on your computers, but it's supposed to be plain. There will be no visible boxes and all links should be on the bottom of the page. Embrace change. It's good for you.

Vball

I'm back at Rose. Volleyball preseason. I'm tired.

Look, I'm a Tropical Storm!

This is really cool except for the destruction and danger I am going to bring upon the coast of Texas. Maybe I'll become a hurricane.

I got to drive a 770 truck (y'all saw that one) and a 777F truck (you haven't seen that one, I'll put pictures up later maybe) and I also drove a big scraper, not sure of the size. I have pictures of me up in the first 24M, and it's painted white. I'll try to show you that later as well.

I have two days of work left and then volleyball starts! :) My final act at CAT is a presentation from 8-9 on Friday morning. :) We'll see how that goes. Love y'all, ttyl!

I Got to Drive a Truck!

Sorry about the photos in this one, I can't figure out how to make it not be all jacked up.

I drove the smallest one Decatur makes, apparently, but it sure felt big to me! I drove over this little hill they have inside the practice track, and it felt like I was going over a mountain! The cab points toward the sky for a bit, then you're pointed right at the ground....WOW. Lots of fun! It goes up to 42 miles per hour. Not sure I ever got that fast, though. It was so bumpy...the one I drove didn't have the bed attached, so there was no weight holding her down. I couldn't keep the gas pedal down I was bumping around so much! Yep, the engine kept revving and revving...haha, they won't let me do this twice!

Anyways, these pictures are all with a different truck that has the bed attached. It was on the sound pad, and I got to raise the bed myself! Sooooo cool! Look how big this monster is. I'm shorter than the wheels!















This isn't a smile. It's a grimace of pain. There was lots of sun.

I know, you all wish you were as cool as me with my nifty hard hat. Safety glasses too, but you can't really see them in this picture.


















Oooo. Big toys.
















Here you can see my super sexy ear plugs. I'm getting ready to drive this baby! Well, raise the truck bed at least.

Mommy! Look what I can do!


















Yup, that was all me. I feel small.





















Another shot in case you weren't digging the last several.

Check my studly self out. :)

Hey Everybody

Had my 3 interviews today. And the drug test. All went very well. :) I'll know more in the next few weeks.

AGH
