Dear friend...

A quick update on how The Play is making the Madson house an increasingly nutty world...

J has reached a new high/low. She is playing OUTRAGEOUSLY scary/weird music in her bedroom so loudly that the computer in this room is shaking, and she is stomping/dancing around to it. Also, I am trying to write a paper, so this is doubly distracting. Just received a text from Des (who is DOWNSTAIRS) saying, 'What are you two listening to up there? It sounds freaky...and is someone dancing or stomping?'

THEN she has, within the last five minutes, added a new cd with women screaming in terror on it. I keep jumping 5 feet each time it comes on.

Yes, the Madson house has been managing to get even crazier...stay tuned!

The Road Trip.

Greetings one and all. This excerpt from our life is going to be a lot less bitter and a lot more FUN! We thought, that since February break is beginning for all and everyone is taking off on voyages to all over, we would supply you with a list of snacks, games and activities to thoroughly enjoy The Road Trip.

Snack List (Compiled w assistance from Dopko, Liesel and Michelle):

1. Pringles - a popular choice - one you 'pop' the fun don't stop!

2. Cheese buns - the overwhelming delicious smell will fill your car for up to 8 hours

3. Real Fruit Gummies - because they come in animal kingdom shapes and you can convince yourself they are healthy!

4. Cold Cuts - oddly enough this one is Michelle's - we think it is a bit gross.

5. A hard boiled egg w ketchup - same.

6. A fruit! - more healthiness :)

7. Hot Rods - obviously Mel's number one.

8. Vodka - no one offered this one up, but we feel that it would be on Dopko's list

Activities/Games:

1. The Sheaf's ever popular Purity Test - the results may astound you --we are PRUDES.

2. Magazine quizzes - tip: the British Cosmo supplies many quizzes; the American one? none.

3. I Spy - this one is a bit more fun if there is more than two people.

4. Sing along to Britney/Miley 

5. Do the girlie road trip dance - caution when driving!

6. Eat a shitload - see food list

7. Stop and enjoy landmarks of the cities you pass - like a big egg for example...

Now we must be off to enjoy a delicious continental breakfast (a breakfast with food from ALL continents) and get our shop on at West Ed. 

Ciao! xo

Spite is the New Purple...

We have decided to compose a list for you, dear reader, of things that make us irritable, bitter, twitchy or in any way like Dopko.

1. People who wear BOWS (bow ties are acceptable).

2. People who wear CARGO PANTS (not ironically).

3. People in class who share WAY too much because they're OLD.

4.  People who get to go on VACATION when we are stuck here in the COLD.

5. MOUSTACHES. 

6. People who SAY one thing and then DO another.

7. When you don't get to go to MOCK WEDDING.

8. When you CUT your leg like a SIXTH GRADER.

9. SIXTH GRADERS.

10. Unreturned TEXTS.

11. When you get all DRESSED UP and end up staying home.

12. When you CLEAN the house for NOTHING.

13. ESSAYS.

14. Having to find GROWN UP jobs.

15. The CHEETAH girls.

16. Burning the top of your MOUTH.

Alright. I think that we have composed a fairly comprehensive list (we will of course think of more later) for you to mull over and hopefully you are able to share in our irritation. Check in later for a less bitter, more positive update.

Ciao.
