Iron Chef Competition

The RD (what I would like to be someday) of Post sponsored an Iron Chef Competition today for dinner time. Two of the staff (one a major Cubs fan that I bicker with often) from Alpha dining came as our judges and we had a two team face-off (apparently everyone else was too busy for some Saturday night fun!). Our secret ingredient was a fresh pineapple and one group was to make an appetizer (my pair) and the other trio made an entree. We made a chicken pineapple wrap and the other group made "Chicken Beyond the Sea." It was chicken quarters marinated with pineapple and apple on top of rice. Both rather good but neither things I would eat again!

What a Great Game....

and we were there! Yesterday was the home opener for the Brewers and they defeated the Cubs 4-3 in a 9th inning rally. It was also Mom's birthday so of course we had to be there. Through a long series of events (good story if you have some time) we were able to get her name up on the scoreboard as well. Unfortunately we all had single seat tickets so until some fair-weather fans chose to leave early because they Crew was losing we weren't able to sit together but by the time we were it was the most eventful parts of the game! We all had a blast. Way to go Brew Crew and Happy Birthday Mom!

A little bit of Cubs BP.

The Brewers entire Team.

Can you find me?

Birthday sign to Mom. Wire included!

Way to go boys! 4-3

Painting the Rock!

Last night, in an act of rage (not really but kind of), we repainted a forever painted campus rock! A few RAs from another building were trying to convince me that Post is filled with shut-ins that are completely uninvolved on campus...which is absolutely untrue!! So, to prove them wrong...

Maple Syrup Saturday

Just a couple fun pictures from Maple Syrup Saturday this past Saturday with Dad, Mom, Alan, Pam, and Eric. Enjoy!

Chuck E. Cheese

Wednesday I got the chance to take care of Eric, with Mom's help, and we decided to embark on what could have been a scary adventure! We visited Chuck E. Cheese's! It was a blast playing it up to Eric and he bought it so much so that he was chanting the name on the car ride there! Unfortunately the place wasn't as much of a hit as we had hoped. :( Eric had fun on the Clifford ride

but was traumatized shortly thereafter with the Teletubbies ride and the rest of our time was a challenge. I played in the tubes alone,

we ate some pizza, surprisingly watched Chuck E. on stage without any fright, and spent some tickets that have been lying around our house for who knows how long. It was good...here's hoping for an even better trip when he gets a little older!

Happy Birthday Abi!

Happy 24th Abi!!

OPE Update!!

Just wanted to be sure to update all of you on my Oshkosh Placement Exchange interview experience. It was essentially hit and miss with some interviews going well and others going south rather quickly. Overall it was a great experience though. I interviewed with Edgewood College, UW-Parkside, Lakeland College, Silver Lake College, Edgewood College, and Rockford College.

I am most interested in Silver Lake and Rockford and have called them back today to let them know of my continued interest. I will keep you all updated once I know more!
