How do the two relate?
Here's how...
Today was spent as usual for those who live in 1128... School, Work, Bible Study, etc. And of course it would not be a normal day if it didn't end with some fantastic events...
So here goes...
Michelle arrived home later the evening after class. I watched American Idol while she enjoyed Teen Mom 2 on her computer. We text one another, while sitting on the couch, during our shows. hahaha
After that I decided we needed to go to CVS to get some mascara. :) While on our way home, actually we were not even out of the parking lot yet, we were talking about the mascara we just bought, and I was trying to convince her to put it on. Somewhere in tehre something REALLY funny was said and Michelle talked like an old woman / little kid / puppy. (thats the best way to describe it) This event resulted in a 5 minute drive home, which really should have been 3 minutes. RIDICULOUS. But don't worry (shout out to those who have seen "The Other Guys") there was a point where we "AMERICAAAAAAAAA'd" it.
When we got back to the apartment, I gave Michelle a unibrow with the mascara while we were sitting in the car...
Than she bunny hopped to the apartment.
This resulted in us standing outside the apartment for about 5 minutes laughing uncontrollably, and her continuing to jump around. We were laughing so hard we could not get the door unlocked.
We finally made it inside and our laughter came to a halt.
THAN... as Michelle is in the shower, she screams my name, so naturally I went running.
I cracked the door open and I got sprayed with water...
The shower head was like a sprinkler! Shooting water everywhere!!! So, naturally, I came to the rescue and nailed a towel to the walls to prevent the bubbling paint from spreading :)
The night ended with, yet another, request to maintenance!!!
Have a nice day everybody!!!

Don't touch me with your feet!!!
So, coming up with a title that is catchy is pretty hard to do... Hence the title "Don;t touch me with your feet!" haha Michelle just attempted to touch me with her foot. I don't like feet. Gross!
So, What this blog is really going to be is about our Kite flying experience...
We decided to go for a walk... We walked around the apartment complex, through the mounds of dog poop, over the prickly bally things (where I almost went caboom), around the weird looking town houses, and past the meters (where we tried to figure out who's was who's) . It was a nice walk, filled with fresh air. We than decided that we wanted to get chairs for the "porch."
We stopped at the bank ATM that had braille on it... than off to Target we went. However, the chairs were to much for our budget. So Michelle decided to get a water bottle, and that was where I came across the kites. They were so intriguing. I got even more excited when I realized there were Toy Story kites!!!
Obviously, I bought the kite. I hoped that it was windy enough out! haha (if you haven't noticed yet, I'm the one with the crazy ideas, and Michelle is the one that makes them more fun :) )
So after the kite was assembled, we went outside. In the dark. In the middle off the street. Where anyone can look out their window.
I made Michelle stand with the kite in the air as I ran up and down the street... unfortunately there was no wind :( My Woody, and Buzz kite only got about 3 feet up in the air. But i was NOT giving up quite yet. I than realized that the bad that the kite came in was stuck to kite... after that it went about 4 feet up in the air while I ran.
No worries, it only landed on my car about 4 times. no one else's!
So, what did we learn from this?
#1. There is braille on the ATM for those who need it... Which I don't really understand... because it's a drive - up ATM.
#2 - Don't fly a kite A) in the dark. B) where everyone can see. C) when there is no wind.
haha and another funny thing... Michelle and I always watch the last 10-15 minute of the Titanic. and tonight we saw the part where she (Rose) was laying in the frozen water and Michelle says "Her hair is like, frozen!" :) hahaha
Have a GREAT night!!!

I'm with --> RUDE!
I'm with --> Rude!
haha Michelle and I have a favorite word. did ya guess what it is? RUUUDE! hold the U for a very long time. This word usage originated sophomore year sometime... and it has stuck ever since! It is very catchy... It a nice way to say, "hey, not cool!!!" or when we joke with one another. We use it in a joking manner. :)
any who... I wanted to title it I'm with --> Rude because there is talk about how we are going to get t-shirts. Mine would say "I'm with --> " and hers, obviously, "rude" which is funny....
Here's why.
Michelle is not rude, she's the best roommate around!!! (she doesn't know I'm writing this :P)
There is a song from wicked that goes something like "because I know you, I have been changed for good." I think this portrays our friendship very well. That girl can make me laugh SO HARD that I have to lean over in pain. She can put a smile on my face in the deepest moments! and I appreciate that so much!!! (thanks Michelle :0) )
Want to know how she did today? I will gladly share :)
We spent part of the day in class, part in the doctors office, and part at USI for dinner and SCF.
The first part - BORING. The second part - BORING. The third part - :) hahahha It began with our drive to USI. We realized we forgot to make out SCF Announcement video! so... Michelle had the bright idea to video tape it on our way to SCF... while I was driving. :) hahaha it turned out fairly well!
After SCF we had to drop money of for cookies!!! (YES!!!! Girl Scout Cookie Time!!!) And I got a little side tracked with Words With Friends. hahah as usual when I am connected to the WiFi!!! Michelle and I licked a battery... haha her end was nice and clean thanks to my sanitizing it with hand sanitizer! It made a pop noise and she made a priceless face that had me, once again, bent over in laughter. :)
We're a pretty gullible set of friends. We were than convinced that the fire extinguisher box had an alarm and that if we opened it security was going to come... even more, we were kind of convinced that if you tapped the "F" and the "R" you could "deactivate" the alarm... hahaha
needless to say, there was no alarm. It was just a box... with a fire extinguisher in it :)
Well, my comfy bed is calling my name!!!

Gorilla Toes Gone Bad...
hahaha...
You know you are already laughing from reading this title... so we thought we would join you.
Michelle and I had a pretty chill day... class, work, studying or "studying",The Bachelor, and you can't forget, Words With Friends... All these relaxed events led up to some pretty interesting conversation and some events that will go down in the "Roomie Record Book of Craziest Things." (Michelle just said "stupid Bill Gates, can't even spell roomie!" but really.. its microsoft word spell check..) so... onto these weird events... it started with Michelle sitting by my bed as we tried to eliminate all the things i do not want to do with my life, as in getting a degree at USI... there is abuot 5 tings on that list now. :) So, we'll see where that gets me. hahaha. after Michelles EXTREME excitement of Michelle (ironic?) Getting kicked off The Bachelor, we ended up on the couch...
Here's where the crazy actually begins... while in deep conversation... I decided that I was going to tape my toes together... Yes, I have freaky gorilla feet... as in my big toe is REALLY separated from my index? toe. So, as my toes were "fixing" themselves, Michelle decided she needed some lotion on her legs.. Being the great roommate I am I decided to practice my massage skills. Man was that funny... I found the sore spots in her cafes for sure! hahaha after a while I realized that my toes (that i had taped together 5 minutes prior) began to turn red... Michelle came to the rescue with the little Fiskers! She ripped that tape off and used the scissors as necessary.
Sad to say that when the next time I walk at the beach it will look like gorilla feet behind me. However, Michelle will have very smooth legs!!!
We hope you enjoy reading these blogs as much as we enjoy writing them ... so let us know what you think!!!
Have a great night,
Love,
Gorilla Feet and Smooth Legs

Doughnut Bank and Bieber Fever?
I'm just going to start by saying that I did see the Justin Bieber move. and yes, I did enjoy it.
AND... there is a Donut Bank down the street from my apartment...
The events leading up to it were very interesting as well...
Today was a day that consisted of laziness... Since Michelle is gone for the weekend I had to find ways to waste time and entertain myself. :)
It started with a trip to Walmart... I dread that place, but it wasn't too bad!
Simply because i deiced to drive all the way to Newburgh from North Park about a 30 or so minute drive on a Saturday morning. Lot's of good food and finally a new bowl to replace the one i broke that went with the set of dishes I got for Christmas. But of course, you can not take a trip to Walmart without forgetting something!... so off to the store I went for some much needed eggs.
After all my grocery store adventures I decided that watching TV was the next thing on my list of lazy things to do for the day. It quickly turned into me watching all the neighbors walk around. It's amazing that so many people go outside when the weather is about 50 degrees! But the most entertaining of all... was the events that occurred on the tennis court. I than decided to make a vow to myself to NEVER play tennis on that court. simply because there are so many people to watch me make a fool of myself from the couch :) hahaha
Off to goodwill i went to get a crazy outfit for the "goodwill clothing contest" at the lock in on friday... more to come about that. haha
As the door shut behind me on my way to see the Justin Bieber movie I realized that I had just locked my keys inside... So me being the smart one said, "I'll just call maintenance" ... not so smart... haha How am I supposed to call someone if I don't know what the number is? hahaha So than I realized that a window was probably unlocked from when it was open earlier...
I think you can guess what happens from here... After taking the screen off as quickly as I could so no one could see I leaned in the window to put the vent in the hole (it was cold earlier, so i took it off :) ) I wanted to make sure my foot didn't land int there! I than got one leg over the window and just dove onto the bed! It was a nice cushiony land.
Note to self: make sure keys are in pocket BEFORE locking the door... or maybe lock the door with the key? haha
Well, "Off The Map" is calling me!

Afro - Turf...
Why hello again...
I embarrassed Michelle already with her $1.25 story... so I decided that I could tell you a little story about afro-turf...
There are many games that Michelle and I are addicted to. Family Feud, that dumb bird game that I can’t remember the name of… Dead Birds? Crazy Birds? Flying Birds?, (she likes it more than I do- simply because I cannot beat level 1!) Crazy Taxi, Bubble Breaker, and the list goes on. The #1 game that we feed one another’s addiction with would be WORDS WITH FRIENDS (seriously, if you have an iPod… download it!) WWF is not your typical iPod game… It took me quite some time to figure out how to play it… it’s a “slow passed Scrabble.” You get to play your friend and kick their butts! Or in some cases… you get your butt kicked… quite unfortunate. I have yet to get tired of it! (which in the long run, might be a bad thing!)
We have been playing this game for quite some time now. So much that I decided for my birthday I was going to download the actual app and pay for it. $2.99 is the amount it took out of my pocket… Michelle was lucky enough to get it on “sale” for $.99!!! I’m not bitter. I appreciate my ad free game. (hahaha)
So here is where Afro – turf comes into play…
Today I was playing WWF at work, something I enjoy doing while watching my new addiction Greek. The words “Afro” was played… I looked at it, and said “I’m really surprised that is an acceptable word” (keep in mind… damneder, Qi, shirty, Yore, Goo, gee, Zee, and Jun are all acceptable words as well) I thought that maybe it was considered slang or something… So as I was explain why I did not think it was an acceptable word… I thought to myself “self, isn’t afroturf the stuff that is fake and on football fields?”… It was then that I realized that I had just had my blonde moment for the day. It’s not Afroturf… its ASTROTURF…

While Studying for Psychology...
Greetings all-
As Courtney and I are sitting down studying for our psychology quiz tomorrow, I thought I would take a break and talk about what happened throughout the day. Today (along with every Thursday) was cleaning day. Woohoo!! With the both of us working on it, it only took us about half an hour, but boy was it intense! Haha. Penne pasta and pudding for lunch :) and by four we were at the library. Oh the joys of the library!!
Some people obviously don't know it's a library and were being VERY loud. Cyclone salads for dinner, which is one of the new restaurants on campus. Though our salads were good, they did have a little too much dressing on them, which didn't make Courtney to happy! SCF was exciting tonight. From the Mr. Money Bags and Pink Pearl Piggy Announcements to the "Discipleship Shuffle", it was a great time. We are covering the real-life discipleship manual in small groups, and the large groups as well. It is AWESOME that the people participating in the small groups are able to hear the information again on Thursdays. It really makes us step back and see how we need to become more of a disciple and not be "in the bleachers", but rather "playing the game."
Oh, the "discipleship shuffle!!" Seeing everyone participate was fantastic including watching Rob and Don try to maneuver their skills. Thanks for the great laughs.
Well, as I am listening to the microwave beeping singaling Courtney that the popcorn is done, when she really wanted popcorn but chose Ranch Tortilla Chips, I'm realizing that I need to get back to studying.
Have a great night!!

We're Gonna Have SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!
Why hello there...
Michelle and Courtney here.
We come to you with pudding in our hands and our belly's full of Penne pasta with butter and Parmesan cheese. A favorite here.
We decided that too much fun happens to keep it all trapped inside the apartment. So, walk with us on this journey of being roommates and living on our own in the semi - big kid world.
Here's a story to give you an insight about what really happens within these very frigid walls. (Michelle is looking over my shoulder to make sure I spell everything right!)
The other day Michelle and I were at the laundry room doing laundry... Her clothes were a little damp so i said "we can put them in again" she said "i don't want to wait another hour and 25 minutes..." I said "Michelle, it cost $1.25...." hahahahaha oh the joys of doing laundry in a laundry room with a door that is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to open! Needless to say, the people inside would be really safe since no one, even with a key, can get in there!
Well, the Words With Friends chime is calling us to go and play words!!
todaloo for now!
