. . . its been a while

Okay, so here is the deal. I have a really hard time updating my blog when I am home because I feel like everyone that is even looks at it knows what I am doing. So, I feel like I don;t have a lot to write about. Therefore, this may or may not be a boring post.

First off, in true Karin fashion I bought lots of cute Aggie things to send to Kevin for Christmas and they are ALL still sitting in the original bag in my room. And to top things off I got a cute Christmas card from him today in the mail. Dang, I'm a jerk. Do you think if I send it to him tomorrow he will get it by Christmas?

. . . Didn't think so.

Secondly, I got to babysit my sweet nephew Jaxon today. Boy, he's a wild one when he is tired, but I just love taking naps with him. He loves to cuddle, and nothing is better than a 4 year olds cuddles. ( I mean that totally not weird, I promise!)

Thirdly, I cut my hair!! I know more people voted to grow it out but because of my easily influenced self and a special night when my hair was dyed pink i didnt really have a choice. All in all, i think its pretty cute. Maybe I'll post a picture . . .

P.S. Dont't worry dad, I have an undershirt RIGHT where this picture cuts off! And to everyone else, I may or may not look slightly retarded in this picture.

Lastly, I got this from my dad today on my email . . . I told everyone I would be famous someday! (I had to put it on the toolbar because it wasn't really working on the post.)

---------->

Double lastly, I feel like the break has just begun and I go back in less than two weeks. Ugh this growing up stuff, man I don't know (I just dont wanna let you go). If you don't get that last sentence you obviously don't know very much about country music, and Carrie Underwood.

Goodnight and Goodluck!

Finals are over . . .

. . . and if you're wondering how it went heres a hint, I am currently eating, at 10:17 am, Aggie Blue Mint straight from the carton.

How I cant wait for Christmas!

okay . . .

so I REALLY hate people like me but I think its time to make the blog private.
I know, I don't have any kids to protect or anything but I keep getting random comments on my blog from people I don't know . . . and I'm not okay with that.

So PLEASE anyone who wants to keep checking out my blog just let me know. You can either email me at karin.tye@hotmail.com or just leave a comment on this blog. I'm not gonna be creeped out if you blog-stalks me (I'm just as guilty as the next person) just let me know.

Anyways, I'll be making it private in a week from today so I can make sure everyone who wants to has a chance to give me their email address.

Thanks all!

Why is my niece SO darn cute?
I just wanna cuddle those cheeks!

I'm famous . . .

Check this out . . . who knew 4,000 people would watch a video made by spartan vision on youtube.

Feel free to let me know how I look platinum.

CORRECTION: That is 9,000 people!

Hmmm . . .

Maybe this is why I don't have friends!!

Just a thought.

What a week I'm having!!

ohhh man need to catch, I just felt the need to update everyone one my crazy week!

One week ago from tonight I was in the Emergency room in immense pain with Kidney Stones. Before anyone says anything, I know, I know I'm too young to have Kidney stones. I've already heard it!

Then on Monday I found out that 2 of my tests and an assignment have been bumped to the week after Thanksgiving instead of the week of . . . THAT was a relief!

I got a 91.5% on my Horse Production exam and I was SOOOO happy. Dang, I just love Essay tests!

Not so much luck with the Biology Exam today I studied ~20 hours for . . . . but lets not talk about that.

I, and my roomies, are all far too stressed out for our own good because the end of the semester is drawing near. In fact I believe all 4 of us have cried (Me more than the others) in the last 24 hours.

Lastly, the big news of the week . . . A girl got hit by the Aggie Shuttle on like Wednesday and she is still in the hospital. Needless to say the driver got fired immediately. Good thing the driver wasn't Nate or we would all be upset.

I just love him!!

This is Jax "playing" guitar hero

He LOVES the fountain at Lagoon. Maybe I'm a bad aunt for taking a picture of this . . .

LOVES silly faces!

"Crash Cars"
I swear we did this 5 times in a row!

The boats a Lagoon. He wouldn't look long enough for a picture!



At the park

Isn't he the cutest??
I just love this little man and I miss him terribly when I'm here at school.
Every time I hear "I'm Gonna Sit on my Butt" I can't help but laugh
Whenever someone says something I just said I can hardly refrain from "Hey! Don't copy me!"
Bow-Chicka- Wow-Wow may just be the most annoying phrase in the world but when it comes from a 3 (now 4) year old's mouth its the cutest thing ever!
The stupid things I do to hear that insanely adorable laugh!
I love making Mickey Mouse pancakes just to see that light in his eyes (even though I have to explain to him why I can't take him to Disneyland every time)

He may "only love Kellie" but that doesn't stop me from loving him!!

I officially feel like a college student

So heres the story . . . I LOVE TUNA! I absolutely think it is amazing, so naturally I have some cans of it. The other day at the grocery store Kelli and I were going up an down the aisles and I was looking for real dinners not just sandwiches, or mac and cheese. We came across the Hamburger Helper and I was thought to myself if they were any good. Then realized that I would have to buy hamburger to make it . . . dang. But lo and behold 2 rows above with the TUNA version, Tuna Helper. I decided I would try it out since I already had tuna. Basically I tried it out tonight and I may never want tuna again!! This was the first time that I have actually felt like I was eating cat food, but of course I ate it cause I'm hungry!! So with a big glass of milk and my plate full fo Creamy Broccoli Tuna Helper here I sit, watching the 101 most memorable SNL moments.
Heres some pics . . .
Next time I may just break the bank and buy the hamburger . . .

Have you ever . . .

. . . had one of those days where you CANNOT concentrate for the life of you because you are SO dang exhausted. That would be today!

I'm gonna need a Dr. Pepper, ASAP

HA!

So . . . we've all been there!



JUST SAY NO GIRL!!

Hope this brightens someone elses day!

chiv⋅al⋅ry

Does anyone know what this means anymore?? Yesterday I was on the shuttle and these two (I dare not say old) WOMEN I would say were probably late 50's got on. And guess what . . . They had to stand. Now why would no one let these women sit? Especially when there were probably more than half a shuttle full of men riding at that particular time. Oh and one of the women was barely tall enough to reach the bar!! Then when I got home and told my roomies about it Emily said when she got off the shuttle this morning there was a blind man who was in the crowd of of shuttle-goers and kept running into people. and NO ONE helped him!!!! All it took was an extra 5 minutes for Emily to walk him to the Institute building. I realize what some may be thinking, "Ted Bundy preyed on women who had hearts" but should that stop us from walking a blind man to his class?? I think not!! That is all of my angry-ness for the day!

On a lighter note:
1. Our toaster is broken
2. I stayed 7 dollars under budget at the grocery store yesterday (YES!!!)
3. If I'm not mistaken, only 5 more weeks of class till winter break!
4. Apparently Melanie, one of the choreographers from SYTYCD (the red head that had to dance with Pasha two seasons ago, Kate you know who I mean) was on What Not to Wear 2 years ago. Who woulda thought??
5. I have officially decided that the library could very well be my new home
6. Midterms are FINALLY over!! I swear I had 3 weeks straight of them!
7. I get to do a full necropsy (sp??) on a horse on Monday!!
8. I may have decided I want my hair short again, any opinions??

And the murderer is . . . .

HA! just kidding, I can't tell you who the murderer is cause Kellie wants to borrow it. I couldn't possibly ruin it for her!!

anyways, here are some pics from the eventful night. FYI I am wearing a "shady" dress.

The whole gang!

Murder Mystery tonight!!

Sooo in jr high and into high school we would have a Murder Mystery nearly every year for Halloween. We decided to continue with the tradition this year and the party is tonight! We are all so excited!! This year the scene is Chicago in the 1920's and we are trying to learn the whereabouts of "Hal" Coppone. I think my favorite part so far is the invitation, it says:

If youse want to learn
Da secret of
"Hal" Coppone's whereabouts,
Be in da
"Back Room"
at
S.P. Keasy's Place
Twenty-Third Street & Michigan
at 7:00 tonight

Refreshments'll be soived

Don't tell nobody!
Be dere!

Funny huh!! So we invited the boy downstairs to come be wierdos with us!! I hope they dress up!!

Here is my character description:

"Silky" M. Adam

Silky is a slinky and shady lady who owns and operates The Everlay Club, Chicago's most prominent private establishment situated in the exclusive Luxington Gardens district. Silky's father "Champagne" Charlie McCorker, founded the club years ago, and his daughter, christened Penelope McCorker - known to friends as "Poppy" - took over management at about the time she married prominent Chicago businessman U. Penn Adam. After her husband's unexpected death, the young and beautiful owner became known as "Silky" for the elegant silk gowns she was accustomed to wearing in the evenings. Silky counts among the club's members the wealthiest and most influential citizens of Chicago, who, despite their busy schedules, often stop in at the club for an hour or two simply to pass the time in the club's elegant and relaxing atmosphere.
costume suggestion: Silk evening gown shimmering with glittery beads

I dont know why, but I always end up with the "shady" characters. One year I was a beach babe and wore a bikini with a nude turtleneck underneath. Whatever, I guess everyone just knows I'll play along!

Anyways, I will let you know how it goes tonight!!!

Forever Friends!!

Meet Anadeliz Pares

Meet ME!!

Meet Kelli Riches

Meet Emily Sainsbury

The whole family!!

Whilst trying to do homework I hear a laugh from Emilys room. As I enter she
is putting our faces in the yearbookme.com templates.
This is what she came up with!!

Now they are hanging above our window!

upsidedowndogs.com

Okay okay okay so in true Dana Tye fashion, I got a phone call tonight with the best news of the week. A website that has made my major that much better than yours!!! Anyways, just try to tell me this isnt hilarious!!

My personal favorite . . . I think

This one is dedicated to Scout, Carrie Hartman's adorable dog!

And Boo

I had such a hard time narrowing down . . . I love them all!! oh and one more thing . . . who does this next one look like??

Do you see the similarities?? Ha!

a WHAT dance???

Okay okay okay, so I know how weird it is that I have updated my blog a lot recently but I've just had a lot of exciting things happen recently. And maybe it also has something to do with being away from home and not seeing everyone very often, but here is the latest:

ITS HOMECOMING WEEK!!!

Well we got a flyer on our door that gave us a schedule for the week and tonight was a . . . PAINT DANCE!!! weird, I know! anyways so after convincing Emily to go with me (which was a task cause she didnt know what it was. Until we got there she really didnt think it was REAL paint)) we ended up on the HPER field with buckets and buckets of paint along with 200 other students rubbing paint ALLLLLL over anything and EVERYTHING around you. IT WAS AWESOME!! No one could even recognize anyone cause it was dark and crazy. There was a tent set up with a blacklight and everyone was all rubbing up against each other (not sexually) it was so fun! And then starting at 10 tonight there was painting the street. on 700 North all the different colleges and clubs and such painted a section of the road. it was like the chalk fest at Gateway but with real paint. Fun night!!

anyways, so I know you are all SUPER anxious to see pics. I didn't get any at the actuasl party cause I didn't want to ruin my camera so enjoy the aftermath pics!!

THERE THEY ARE, THE PICS OF THE NIGHT!!

Lastly, I went to the library today and I left my phone at home on accident. When I got back I reazed my phone was in a puddle of water on the counter. Pretty sure that it was leaking water and pretty sure that now it wont work. Im not okay with it. I understand its water damage but this stupid phone has been a pain since the beginning. Ugh moral of the story . . . If you try to text or call in the next little while I wont be available!! Oh and if anyone has an extra phone I can use until I can figure something else out could I PLEASE borrow?? Thanks!!

Alexia's Shower!!

Sooo I realize that I am still very young, which makes it very odd that I go to so many showers!! Luckily the shower I went to this weekend was for my friend, Alexia, who is a few years older than me. Her baby is due in like 2 weeks and she is ready to pop!!! I worked with her at Fantasy Bridal and we had so much fun, then she went and got married and pregnant and left me all alone to fend for myself! Anyways, I had a blast at the shower and I am so excited for her and Ben!

Alexia and Me

This is a picture of all her friends that came.
Weird thing though, the girl with the leggings was in one of my classes at the U and the girl next to her
is my friend for high schools sister. It sure is a small world!

I wish I could have gotten a good pic of her belly! She is one of those luckys that from the back she doesnt look pregnant at all, its all in front like a basketball!!

Anyways, Congratulation Ben and Lexi!!

HOT PINK??

Alllllllright, so it all started last week when Emily and Kelli said that they wanted to dye their hair. I told them that I would dye it for them but I wouldn't do it to mine cause I pay good money to get mine done by a professional!! Anyways so tonight ended up being the night the dye was purchased and as we started to do Kelli and Emilys I toyed with the thought of mine too . . . well I did it. None of the colors that were bought were actually the color it turned out, but you know, things happen. Let me first just explain, Emily wanted to bleach some chunks in her hair blonde, which apparently has happened, despite her DARK hair. The bottle I used was supposed to be a dark purple but, as our good friend Tony puts it, it ended up as a Magenta, and Kelli wanted the purple and a bright teal/blue color and her purple worked out but the teal was more of a light green. Anyways, so here are the pics from the eventful night!

BEFORE

IN THE PROCESS

FINISHED BUT STILL WORKING

AFTER
I still haven't decided if I like mine or not. Its pretty dramatic for me, but Kelli and Emily are trying really hard to convince me it looks good!

The weekend that didn't work out and left me all alone!!

Sooo earlier this week my roomies and I had all sorts of plans for the weekend!! Thursday was my friend Jessicas wedding, Friday we were going to dye our hair (actually Emily and Kelli were going to and I was going to take pictures or do the dying!!), and today we were planning on going to Frightmares at Lagoon!! Well that didn't quite work out . . . . Thursday we went to Jess's wedding reception but from there I dropped Kelli off at her house so she could wedding dress shopping with her sister the next day. So then Emily and I changed plans and decided that we would go see Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist on Friday but when Emilys boyfriend came up on thursday he ended up getting REALLY sick and Em had to take him home at 10:00 pm so she stayed the weekend at home. Friday morning I had to get up EARLY to take my other roomate Ana to the airport so she could go see her fiance in Rhode Island. Sooooo that left me alone on Friday night. I ended up downstairs with the boys watching a movie and then did homework to an INSANE hour. Lastly, waking up this morning and seeing that the temperature in good old Logan is 37 degrees we decided that Lagoon was probably not a good idea. So here I am all alone!! Does anyone want to play???

Vote?

Okay, so I sit here and watch the vice president debate and I came across this video from a friend. Its about registering to vote, so you don't have to watch it if you don't want to. OH and word of warning, there are a few bad words (3 s-words, and 2 f-words) just watch out for Jonah Hill mostly . . . sorry, i didn't know how to edit it!

I think my favorite part of the video is Courtney Cox-Arquette when she says "I DID have five friends. . ." Hilarious!!

I love my roomies!!

Well, I'm well into the semester and already taking midterms (weird!!) and I must say my roomies and I sure have a lot of fun!! First off, what do you get when you have 3 girls that are bored and a nice big pack of 97 cent temporary pirate tattoos??

A REALLY GOOD TIME!!!

I guess since Emily is allergic cats we shouldn't get one at our humble abode. That and we dont have the money for one . . . oh and my apartment wont allow them! Anyways, this is what happens to Emily when she is exposed to cats . . . I just love this picture. Kelli thinks she looks like Kwazemoto (however you spell it!)

Lastly we attended FHE tonight with our new "families" and everyone hated us . . . yes its sad!

We decided we're just the good times in the ward!

Other than that, my sweet nephews birthday is on Sunday so I'm coming home for that!

Oh and I'm uber stressed out about my degree but oh well . . .

Sorry it took so long to post a new blog . . . it's been a crazy time!
