i VERY MUCH hope that all searches for "baby oil slip n' slide" now direct the internet to my blog

so! photos! i finally got them downloaded off my camera and uploaded to flickr and AREN'T YOU ALL JUST THRILLED? i know, me too. let's take a walk through my past few weekends, shall we?

three weekends ago, i went to visit my darling shannon down in williamsburg, home to our alma mater and adjacent rooms on our freshman hall, where we met each other on the first day of freshman orientation.

we somewhat inexplicably ran into a group of folks who were celebrating president's day by actually dressing up as the presidents. it was odd.

then we took a whole lot more self-portraits just like this, where shannon looks cute and i look disturbed. as it should be.

then! the next weekend, i hopped a plane to new orleans to cheer on the lovely pseudostoops in her first half marathon. PEOPLE. that is 13.1 miles. MANY MANY MILES. thankfully, she stopped trying to convince me i should join her in this madness early on, so i happily just came for the food and the cheering.

i got to meet some of her blogger training buddies, too: danielle, erin, & sundry.

mardi gras trees!

this HAD been a huge pile of warm beignets and two amazing cafe au laits. unfortunately, i was too busy seeing how many i could cram into my maw in under 30 seconds to take a picture until after we'd destroyed them.

and then! this past weekend was the infamous annual scavenger hunt. marie, myself, and my very patient boyfriend spent 2 nights running around doing ridiculous things, like creating an indoor baby oil slip n' slide:

and fitting in small spaces:

and hitchiking on busy roads:

and spraying people with fire extinguishers:

and dancing on bars:

while we didn't win the entire hunt (only 3 teams managed to do all 45 items on the list!) we DID win a supplementary award for "Best Use of Props" from our team's Saturday Night Live skit. you've all seen Dick In A Box, i gather? well, marie and i did Boobs In A Box.


you're welcome.

    And I want a Mardi Gras tree. That is too cool.

  11. you needed a LOT more speed on the run up to the slide.

    also, you needed to be naked.

  12. THIS. Is AWESOME.

    Also, I'd think you'd be used to people dressing up at presidents. My first thought when I saw the photo was, "Oh, they look just like the presidents at the Nats games!" With smaller heads, of course.
