A Marvelously Vague Outline of Shelby and E's Weekend in Town

Colleen demanded a blog update, so here it is, in all its vague glory...

Huge news: E and Shelby spent the weekend... TOGETHER!! Well, the weekend minus Friday. Still, incredibly magical.

Here are a select few events from Shelby and E's magical weekend together, in no particular order, except for number 1. It definitely comes first...

1) High school Shelby and high school E had the perfect opportunity to feel incredibly satisfied, and high school Shelby and high school E seized the opportunity and it was perfect. Basically, high school E did some backing up for high school Shelby and it resulted in a great deal of redemption.

2) Alabama played Arkansas in basketball. Not only did we get to enjoy an exciting Bama victory, we also got to see Nick Saban (from afar), and watch 4 Memphis boys do lots of crazy flips and things, except for 1, who just did back handsprings... still neat!

3) Shelby and E shared an eggplant pizza. This may not sound like a weekend highlight, but it was delicious... and romantic.

4) E got to meet Shannon's future husband, and no it is not who Colleen thinks/wants it to be.

Again, while we have tried (in vain) to be boring, all we have accomplished is being vague... and semi-boring. In other news, Shelby is currently wearing all plaid. Last blog post we discussed my addiction to Stumbleupon, but that is nothing compared to Shelby's obvious plaid addiction. Again, it does not get more exciting than Tuscaloosa...

E's Addiction is Official

Bad news everybody,

E is officially addicted to Stumbleupon. Besides spending a large amount of time stumbling, she added our blog to the Stumbleupon collection of websites today. I feel that only a true addict would do this. To further confirm my belief, she dyed her hair this weekend, and since we all know that addicts do crazy and drastic things, I think E's action of dying her brown hair dark brown confirms that she is, indeed, an addict.


Unfortunately, I have even worse news. E and I did not spend the weekend together again! This seems to be a trend, but we are working to end to it. I went home for the weekend to help Jay celebrate his birthday/see him since he had been at sea! To make up for our weekend spent apart, we decided to take some pictures to show you all about our exciting week nights (plus most blogs include pictures, so we thought this one should also).

This is me climbing "Bed Mountain." The foot stool really helps.
This is E climbing "Laundry Mountain." These clothes were clean until she stepped on them. Now Laundry Mountain is in the living room so she can disassemble the mountain and fold the clothes.
Here is a view of the lovely hallway we walk down every day! Nothing like some charming beige walls to put you in the mood for school!
Here we are in the living room. This is actually a live action shot. I am creating this post and E is working on a bee and hexagon picture!
We included this picture to show you guys some of the insane drama that happens when you live in the dorm. This note was posted in the laundry room last semester, it can get pretty heated in there (especially when all the dryers are going). Kellie took the note down (part of her RA duties) and put it on our fridge because of how funny it is. You can also see some of the lovely magnet sentences that have been created on our fridge, we are not responsible for most of them.


We would like to leave you all with another Haiku written by Harrison about E's laundry situation.

So much underwear
Laundry, the Devil's sphincter
It will never end.
