Alicia about: Reporting Back
He's adorable! Can't wait to meet him.  


Alicia about: Random
A co-worker of mine is getting married next year and is from Akron. She has an Akron wedding magazine and Aaron and Lindsay's wedding picture is on the cover....completely random but cool. My co-worker didn't believe that I knew them.  


Alicia about: Leah's 1Year Pictures
I posted a link to Leah's 1 year photo shoot from last weekend on the picture page. It's password protected, the password is birthday  


Alicia about: so.....
Not much here..can't wait for Jones! Do you think he'll wait till his due date or come early? I know we had talked briefly about it but were we going to all try to get together in Akron/Cleveland some weekend this summer, maybe Labor Day. I would love to see everyone and all the kids since I don't think we will be bringing Leah to Dickie's wedding.  


Alicia about: zzzz
We will be going yard work, again. Trying to get everything finished up before Leah's 1st birthday party next weekend. Oh, and a Fathers Day cookout.  


Alicia about: Vaca
We stayed in Sky Valley, GA which is right on the border of NC. The closest town was Highlands, NC. The area is mostly a golf community but we got the condo for free from Brad's family so we couldn't pass it up!  


Alicia about: Vaca
Yeah, Leah loved that carrier. Brad, not so much after 3 days of hiking with 25lbs on his back. He was really sore!  


Alicia about: Vaca
I posted a link on the picture page to pics of our NC vacation.  


Alicia about: ipod
I have an itouch and I love it. I use it mostly for WiFi when I'm at home and for the calendar and notes and lists and stuff..so it's more like a palm. I have all of my music on there as well and use it in my car. I have a serious addiction so I would probably die without it!  


Alicia about: zzzz
Brad and I are leaving Saturday morning to spend a week in the mountains of NC and hitting up Asheville for 2 days on the way back. Our first real vacation with Leah so it should be interesting to see how she does on the 8+ hour drive!  


Alicia about: work
Good Luck Biggie!!!  


Alicia about: lawn care
Congrats on the house Derek! As far as our yard, Brad only bags the grass when it is really long and we compost the clippings with our leaves from the fall. We're making larger compost bins this year so I can start composting food too. We borrow my Dad's electric edger and it works great and we have a cordless weedwacker which is nice but takes 2 batteries to do our entire yard. We're sucking it up this year and getting an Organic Lawn Service because of Leah..she likes to eat grass so we're trying to avoid chemicals.   


Alicia about: babies!
Nothing new with Leah. She turned 9 months Friday so we have her 9 month checkup today. Still not crawling yet but she's getting close. She is a little germ carrier. In the past 3 weeks Brad and I have both had the stomach flu and I have had a cold the past 7 days. And it's weird that Leah never really gets that sick but they really kick our ass.   


Alicia about: Gideon Update
Glad to hear that everything is going to be fine!! I know of another baby that had the same issue but his plates were fusing so they had to do surgery, what a relief that they are just touching. It really sucks when something happens to you child, Brad and I know this first hand. It's comforting to know that they are young enough that they won't remember any of this and will go on to be completely healthy!  


Alicia about: Happy St. Patrick's Day
Getting Leah ready for her future crawls!  St. Pattys Day


Alicia about: holy shit Cleve-town!!!
That was me..  


Alicia about: Cam
He is adorable!! Congratulations!  


Alicia about: snow
We got a total of about 6" yesterday and we're supposed to get 1-2 more inches today. Just really cold now..in the negatives with the wind chill. Schools closed again today.  


Alicia about: tuesdays
Schools are closed here today and maybe tomorrow too. We've gotten about 3 or 4 inches already and still snowing. I think we're supposed to get between 6 and 8 total. Why didn't I become a teacher..snow Days, holidays, and summer Vacation!  


Alicia about: cheese
Since OBX might be out of the picture for a while based on the kids, we should look at doing something closer to home. We could get a place like this for a long weekend..it's near Mansfield so only a short drive (for some)and that way we could bring the kiddies with us.  Indian Bear Lodge


Alicia about: Pantuso Twins
Yeah! They are beautiful. Congratulations!   


Alicia about: crawl
Brad and I will try to make it as long as we can find someone to take Leah for the weekend. We just might not come up till Saturday so we only have to leave her for one night.  


Alicia about: camera/camcorders
We have a Canon Powershot SD1000 and we love it..easy to use, really small, and takes great pics. Brad and I are giving ourselves a camcorder for Christmas but I think we are going for an HD one like a Canon Vixia HF20  


Alicia about: shutterfly
Ours is   http://bradandaliciapauling.shutterfly.com


Alicia about: Stuff
Contgratulations!!!! I'm so excited for you both. Of course I hope that you have a girl so Leah isn't completely out numbered will all of these boys!  


Alicia about: Happy Birthday
Good thing you guys did not come over..it's not fun! Stupid daycare.   


Alicia about: Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday to my sick hubby..who is home sick today after Leah infected myself, Brad, and 10 other people with the Norwalk virus (aka stomach flu)when we had people over to watch the OSU game Saturday. Gotta love parenthood!  


Alicia about: O'Malley Wedding Photobooth pics
ALL of the photo booth pics (along with their wedding pictures) are on their photographers website..check it out.  Wedding Pics


Alicia about: ouch
Thank god I'm not..Leah was up at 7am yesterday so I didn't have time to be hungover. I posted pics of the wedding on shutterfly.  O'Malley Wedding


Alicia about: Leah Update
Sorry we didn't send an update out yesterday, it was a pretty bad day. We got the MRI results back and it showed that she had a stroke. It's not a stroke like you think of when adults have them but she has multiple spots that show blood clots in the smallest capillaries in the veins. They don't know when this happened after birth or why it happened but there is permanent damage. The good news is that this damage in deep in the center part of the brain in the white matter, which is not where any motor function, speech, and memory and stuff is located. She still has all of her motor functions and is crying and eating normally so she is not showing any signs of problems yet. It is going to be a waiting game to see what damage was done as she gets older and her brain starts to develop to see if anything was affected. So because of these blood clots, that is what was causing the seizures. So we were moved out of the ICU last night to the Neurology floor where they are doing tons more blood work to determine why these clots occurred and to see what needs to be done to prevent them in the future. We are working with a hematologist as well and they are also working to get her anti-seizure medicine regulated. We are hoping that we will be out of the hospital by Sunday or Monday. Many of the tests that they are doing will take weeks to get back. They are planning on leaving her on the anti-seizure medicine for the next 6 months and will follow up with the neurologists in 3 months for another EEG and at 6 months another MRI. Since she is so young at 6 months they may not even be able to see the damage on an MRI because as her brain grows those damaged areas will get smaller. That is all for now, we just needed yesterday to process everything that is happening. We will just have to take things one day at a time and hope that there is not any long term damage and that the doctors can figure out why this happened in the first place. The one thing going for her is that she is so young and everyone says that children are very resilient and have ways of re-mapping their brains if there is damage so she may not have any issues at all, we just don't know. We'll let you know any other info we have as we get it. Thanks for all the well wishes and keep the prayers coming. P.S. Derek, we didn't even see a call come in!  


Alicia about: Leah Update
Wanted to give you another update on Leah. We had a really good day yesterday. They were able to remove the breathing machine yesterday and by this morning she was completely off of the oxygen. So we got to hold her last night, which was great! She still has her feeding tube and I'm trying to keep up with pumping milk based on what she is getting hourly but I haven't been taking very good care of myself and the stress has made it hard so they are giving her formula as well. We received all of the cultures back yesterday and they confirmed that it was not any type of infection that caused the seizures. They did have her hooked up to the EEG machine for a while on Monday and through yesterday morning and they did notice a "hot spot" they call it on the left side of her brain so she is going for an MRI today at 3PM. We're hoping to know more once the MRI is done. We met with the neurologist this morning and they think that they are going to leave her on this anti-seizure medicine for the next 3 months then re-evaluate her then with another EEG then. They will monitor her closely with blood draws to make sure that they have the doseing correct so she will hopefully not be sleepy all the time but as normal as a 12 day old can be! So once the MRI is done they are going to move her out of the ICU and into a normal room! We'll keep everyone posted but things are looking up, we just hope that the MRI does not show something serious. We just have to take everything one day at a time.  


Alicia about: Leah Update
Just wanted to update you on Leah. She is hanging in there, quite a fighter for being so little. They have had her on an anti-seizure medicine since Sunday that causes her to be very tired but also her heart rate to be low and her breathing to be very shallow. Because her breathing is shallow they have her on a machine, kind of like a sleep apnia machine, to help her breathe. She has gotten used to the anti-seizure medicine so her breathing is getting better so they are hoping to ween her off of that machine today which means I hopefully can hold her! They put in a feeding tube yesterday and are giving her my breast milk through the tube so that will help her get some of her strength back. She had an EEG yesterday and last night but there are no signs of any seizures, which is good that she isn't having anymore but bad that we still don't have a cause. We are supposed to get her cultures back today to see if she has an infection of some sort so we're hoping to have more info later. If she is able to get off of the breathing machine we hope that she will be able to have an MRI in the next day or so. But they are treating us so well here and the staff has been great. They have hotel like rooms on the same floor as the ICU so we were able to stay there last night so we are close and don't have to leave her but don't have to sleep on the small chair they have in her room which wasn't working very well for me with my c-section incision. They also have me working with a lactation consultant to make sure that I am pumping enough milk to give her so I can still breastfeed after she is out of here. So that is all we know for now..thanks for all of the well wishes. We will keep everyone posted as well learn more.   


Alicia about: Leah
Hey guys..just wanted to let all of you know that Leah was admitted to the ICU at Children's Hospital yesterday afternoon. She started having spasms on the right side of her body that they belive to be seizures and are unsure of the cause. She had a CT scan yesterday that came back normal and all of her initial blood work came back normal as well but the final results probably won't be back until tomorrow. They want to do an MRI but are waiting until she is more stabilized before they go ahead with that procedure. We will try to keep everyone posted but please keep Leah and us in your prayers.  


Alicia about: Lil' Pauling
Yeah, we're both really excited but nervous. We just want everything to go well and her to be healthy and come out safe! The waiting is the hardest part since we have everything ready and not much to do except wait till Friday. But I'm over being pregnant, this heat is killing me!  


Alicia about: Baby Pauling
Went to the Doctor today and the baby is still breech so they scheduled me for a c-section on Thursday June 25th, which is only about a week and a half early. In less than 2 weeks Brad and I will have a baby!   


Alicia about: Checking in
That was from me!  


Alicia about: patty
Yeah, Brad and I will be there tomorrow. I'm hoping we will be there by 1 or 2.   


Alicia about: crawl
Brad and I will be there Saturday afternoon.  


Alicia about: Crawl
Unfortunately not..just water for me. Maybe I'll splurge and get a Sprite. I'm just hoping I can stay up past 11!  


Alicia about: Crawl
Just checked the site and they still have the same deal for Saturday night.   


Alicia about: Crawl
We got a special rate of $109 at the Courtyard Marriot on Penn Ave through their website. That was the cheapest we found downtown.   


Alicia about: Baby Pauling
Derek I think you and Abby are in the clear. Brad said that he didn't like that name when I mentioned it, in fact he didn't like any names that I came up with. This is going to be hard!  


Alicia about: Names
Thanks Thews..we'll keep that in mind. Kind of nerve racking to choose a name that she will have for the rest of her life!  


Alicia about: Baby Pauling
Brad and I found out yesterday that we are having a girl! We just couldn't wait to find out. She is perfect, developing normally, and right on schedule for July 8th. No names picked out yet.  


Alicia about: ugh!
We got a couple of inches yesterday, then last night a 1/2" of ice. Now it is snowing again and we are supposed to get 4 more inches. Our county is a level 2 but of course I'm at work!  


Alicia about: on a serious note
Thanks everyone!   


Alicia about: St John Pictures
It was Budweiser plus it was warm, so no.  


Alicia about: Weekend Pictures
I posted our pictures from this weekend. Had a little too much fun, I'm still hung over. Damn you Frickers and your $2 beers!  Wedding Pics


Alicia about: just for you wes
Team Ohio of course!!!!  


Alicia about: Hump-day Shocker
That is awesome! Congratulations!!!  


Alicia about: Competition Weekend
Thanks all for coming, we had a blast. I took a 3 hour nap yesterday afternoon...I'm not used to staying up that late. And I am sore too!  


Alicia about: Competition
We will have the same teams for the entire weekened..not sure what events were taking place when, Brad?  


Alicia about: such a wuss
No, we don't mind. We have a cable rail fence so Cooper may be small enough to sneak under the lowest cable. You may want to bring a leash to tie him up in the back if he figures out he can get out.   


Alicia about: Competition Weekend
We do have plenty of room in the house though. We have 2 extra bedrooms plus the basement and plenty of room in our bedroom.  


Alicia about: Competition Weekend
Do people know what time they will be rolling into town? I will have car bombs ready for the opening ceremonies!  


Alicia about: Competition Weekend
Of course it is still on!!! Since just Wes & Leanne are coming from Buffalo we figured it would be like STD where we just pick names to see who will be on each team or do Ohio vs everyone else. Events include drinking volleyball, beer pong, kickball, cornhole, and something else. Then I think there was going to be a mini triathalon of euchre, billiards, and darts.   


Alicia about: Happy 30th
Thanks!  


Alicia about: Competition
I vote that we pick teams that weekend. That way if some of our friends from Columbus want to participate they can, similar to what we did with the Summer Throwdown in B-lo. I also veto flag football and would prefer to do kickball.   


Alicia about: anno
Thanks..it's been 4 years!  


Alicia about: The News
Congratulations Biggie and Cathryn!  


Alicia about: zzzzz
The hole in the ceiling is fixed. Brad did a really good job, you can't even tell he fell through it! The bathroom is painted and ready to be tiled whenver we finish the fence outside. It's never ending..  


Alicia about: zzzzz
I think we had 25 post holes to dig. We rented a post hole digger Saturday but it was useless for about 10 of the holes that were all rock. We ended up renting a jack hammer Sunday to break up the rock in the rest.  


Alicia about: zzzzz
Brad and I dug the holes for the new fence. It sucked, half of our yard is all rock.  


Alicia about: Jess and I are engorged...
Congratulations Tony!!  


Alicia about: competition weekend
It's probably better we changed it to August anyway. We still don't have our master bath done, or the fence, or the horse shoe pits. We have a lot to do this summer!  


Alicia about: 401 K or Yankee Game
Congratulations!!  


Alicia about: oh boy
Brad and I saw it Andy..it was hilarious.   


Alicia about: Bathroom Renovation mishap
So as you know Brad is in the process of renovating our master bathroom. Well last night we had a slight set back. He had just completed all of the pipe work to move the shower and was in the process of laying the floor back down when he slipped and fell through the ceiling into our kitchen. He didn't fall all the way through(and wasn't hurt thankfully) but left a nice large hole in our kitchen above our table. Nothing like eating at the table and being able to look into your bathroom. Here is the link to pics. The hole is about the size of a man hole.   ceiling hole


Alicia about: Is it spring yet?
We get snow but nothing more than a couple of inches at a time. When we do everyone freaks out and drives 10mph and things shut down. A friend works for Scotts and they are closing at 2 because of weather and we have maybe received a dusting.  


Alicia about: Competition
So can everyone make it the first weekend in August, the 2nd & 3rd?  


Alicia about: Competition
Was the first weekend in August available? Or was that when Aaron couldn't make it?  


Alicia about: Competition
Looking at Skybus there is not anything cheaper than $55 in May, June, or July. That sucks!  


Alicia about: Competition
I guess we could try for May too if you want..just not sure how nice the weather will be for outdoor fun.   


Alicia about: Competition
Brad is in Cincinnati today for work. I have no idea why he wanted June. I would guess because it was sooner rather than later. We don't have any plans for the rest of the summer so we don't have to have it then. I'm assuming August is out because of the OBX trip so we can try for a weekend in July. We could try for the weekend of July 11th & 12th. I know the English's said they had a wedding the 19th so not sure if they would want to travel 2 weekends in a row plus I'm sure no one wants to travel for the 4th.   


Alicia about: Competition
Brad and I are in for that weekend.  


Alicia about: Competition
I agree with the two teams..the less we have to figure out the better.  


Alicia about: Competition Weekend
I vote for the weekend of the 7th & 8th in June. It sounds like that weekend works the best for most people and everyone so far (I think) can make it. I just checked Skybus and tickets from Portsmouth to C-Bus are going for $35 each way for that weekend. Buffalo to C-Bus are going for $25 each way. Brad should have our fence built by then so dogs can roam free.   


Alicia about: footballs
If college football dumped the BCS for a 16-team playoff system, here's how it would work.  


Alicia about: OSU vs. Kent tickets
Do you know if non-alumns are able to get tickets or if Brad is able to purchase two?   


Alicia about: questions
I think we will have better luck getting tickets through Kent then through OSU, unless you want to try to buy scalped ones before the game.  


Alicia about: question
The game is October 13th.  


Alicia about: Sea Dog
I am so excited! They sell Sea Dog Blueberry Wheat Ale at the Trader Joes by our house!!  


Alicia about: gay sex
Brad and I are going to the wedding. I have no idea if we are coming into town Friday night or Saturday, depends on what is going on.  


Alicia about: Nuptials
Brad & I are going.  


Alicia about:
I don't think you have to worry about that with us! As far as the 4th, Brad was talking about driving up since we were thinking of bringing Tela but were going to see what everyone else was doing.  


Alicia about: Maine vaca
I have an e-mail in to my boss to see if the week of the 4th is available. I don't think that it will be a problem but should know something later today.  


Alicia about: weather
My office is closing at 1 today because the freezing rain has started. C-Bus may freak out but at least I get a snow day!  


Alicia about: footballs
He was pretty excited about the win yesterday, especially since we had to deal with the Buckeye loss last week. I don't think he could of dealt with both teams losing in one week.  


Alicia about: footballs
Yep, Brad was at the game. Not sure if he will have time to post anything today since he is trying to catch up on work from us being in Colorado last week. He will also be going to the game this weekend.  


Alicia about: Music
Brad does but I'm not sure if he has it at work or not.   


Alicia about: game...bring it
I think she will be fine with another dog in the room..we will just need to keep her away from the cats.  


Alicia about: game...bring it
If Brad and I could grab the office, that would be great. Princess Tela needs her own space. We aren't planning on leaving until after 6 so we should hopefully be there by 9:30 or 10.  


Alicia about: Who else is stuck at work today??
Ouch..that sucks. Did he make it home for the show?  


Alicia about: Who else is stuck at work today??
What happened?  


Alicia about: Who else is stuck at work today??
I'm here  


Alicia about: voitfest
Brad and I have a room for Friday night.  


Alicia about: Voit Party
Brad, Biggie, and I will be there Friday night. We're hoping to be there around 7 or 8 depending on when Brad can get out of work.   


Alicia about: damn, i'm good
Thanks Eric, I can't believe it has been two years already!!  


Alicia about: lost
We noticed those commercials and Brad went to the website after the finale but I didn't ask what was on it. That show really likes messing with peoples heads.  


Alicia about: lost
Wow, I didn't even notice any of that stuff. Now I am even more intrigued.  


Alicia about: lost
I keep telling Brad that at the end it is all going to be someones dream. What is up with that Libby chick? They show her at the mental hospital with Hurley, then they show her giving her boat to that guy but they killed her off? I'm more addicted than ever.  


Alicia about: lost
We watched the finale on Wednesday. Every commercial break, which was about every 5 minutes it seemed, Brad was yelling at the TV. The last 5 minutes really threw me.   


Alicia about: Le Mans BMW Racing Team
We have our building dedication today for our new office building and they brought in the Le Mans BMW Racing Team. They have two cars that have been racing and doing pit changes around our parking lot for an hour and they are so LOUD! I am inside and the whole place is shaking, not sure how they expect us to get anything done today.  


Alicia about: Rowing
Yeah, timing is pretty important. That sucks.   


Alicia about: Asshole Drivers
You're probably right..I should get it checked out. Thews, how is the rowing going?  


Alicia about: Asshole Drivers
I haven't had any neck pain so I think I'm in the clear, just the sore wrist. I was just worried that I wouldn't have another car to drive since it is a company vehicle and they don't have to give me a rental, but my vehicle admin person had one waiting for me this morning!  


Alicia about: Asshole Drivers
I think he was just stupid because he kept saying he didn't see any of us. He also had a broken right foot that had a huge walking cast on it.   


Alicia about: Asshole Drivers
Nothing like your first day home from vacation and getting into a car accident!! I was out running errands yesterday and some asshole in a Ford F150 decided he didn't want to stop. He managed to clip then side swipe the two cars behind me, in an attempt to swerve around them, then swerved back to avoid oncoming traffic and nailed me from behind going 40 miles per hour. I was then hit into the car in front of me. I'm ok minus a sore wrist but I can't same the same for my car. This asshole didn't even apologize to any of the people in the 4 cars he managed to damage.   


Alicia about: hello?
I'm here..although I will be packing up my desk and stuff all day. We are moving into our new building tonight. At least I got to wear jeans today.  


Alicia about: does wes still live?
Our pictures are still on our camera at home. I will have Brad put them up tomorrow.  


Alicia about: fryday
We will give you a call on our way up and let you know..it depends on what time we get out of town but may just end up grabbing something on the way.  


Alicia about: rock
Brad, Biggie, and I will there Friday. We are going to try to leave by 2 or 3.  


Alicia about: New House
Abby or Bub, what is your new address going to be?  


Alicia about: i left my ___in c-bus
I wasn't upset at Derek..I was pissed that my parents kept asking me every 5 minutes where Tricia was since she kept disappearing.  


Alicia about: i left my____ in c-bus
Thews asked our cabbie if he had ever surprised a girl by slipping a digit inside her during sex.   


Alicia about: i left my___ in c-bus
I have some randon pictures from the end of the evening. I'll have Brad send them to Bub or e-mail them out. My parents also have pictures...I remember Kristen taking pictures of my parents making out at Brothers. Gross!  


Alicia about: Items to Discuss
We have 4 shirts that are up for grabs...Abby had a medium, Bub & Sweet J had larges and we ordered another large. Not sure how many Kantz was taking.  


Alicia about: Items to Discuss
Pitt v Kent game starts at 7:10. If everyone wants to watch the game, we are are planning on watching the game at Classics Bar, which is within walking distance of our place and a somewhat towney bary that hopefully won't be too crowded. I am going to try to grab some people to go over early and save tables. For those arriving into town before 7, Biggie said people can meet at his place and he will have dinner ready for them then drive over to Classics which is about 15 min away, he can give you directions. For those arriving after 7, they can meet us at the bar or at our place and I can e-mail you directions. There are a couple of places to eat around there if you need dinner. As far as after the game, that is up in the air. We can either go back to Biggies and just hang out and play pong or find someplace we want to go. For sleeping arrangments, Brad and I have an extra room w/an air mattress and a couch that will sleep 2. Biggie has an extra room, closet, and the finished basement.  


Alicia about: Drunky McDrunks
So far from out of town I think we have: Leanne & Wes Sweet J & Tony Derek Dickie Thews & Christen Aaron Berg Kantz & Friends Nolde & Cynthia (possibly) We probably have another 20 or so people that will be crawling from Columbus.   


Alicia about: st patty
I think Abby had a medium and we ordered one extra medium.  


Alicia about: st patty
We are going to be crawling in the arena district. We will start at Red Star Tavern at 9pm.  


Alicia about: st patty
I don't think the Kent game will be on local cable since CBS has the rights. The other game that is on at the same time is the Michigan State game which I am going to assume will trump the Kent game. We can always walk over to Classics Sports Bar right by our house and watch the game, they have tons of TVs. On Friday morning some of us are heading over to Flanagans, then possibly Braznehead, then Winking Lizard on Bethel for those that want to join us.  


Alicia about: st patty
Biggie, Do you know where you, Aaron, and now Derek are going to be drinking during the day Friday?  


Alicia about: st patty
I'm not sure when everyone is getting into town so there aren't any definate plans yet. I didn't know if people wanted to go somewhere to watch the Kent game or had something else in mind.  


Alicia about: good and bad
We will probably have to hit up a bar to watch the Kent vs Pitt game. The other game at 7:10 is G. Mason vs Mich State which will most likely be the one shown on our local CBS Station.  


Alicia about: mini van?!?
Christen, the crawl will take place in the Arena District..some of the bars are Frog Bear, Spice, Brothers, Gibbys.   


Alicia about: Tests
Not sure if Brad is on here today, he has been really busy. He just finished his 5th test last weekend and is planning on taking the last multiple choice one in April. I think he is going to take the remaining 3 design tests after we get back from Europe.  


Alicia about: Sicko
I'm embarrased to say that this man lives in Columbus..there are some sick people in this world.  Urine


Alicia about: Shirts
Thews, that is the right address..if he didn't get it, I will let him know.  


Alicia about: crawling
Yeah, there is still a Labomba's on campus..that is definately a post crawl stop. I don't think I would be able to drink very much if I ate one of their burritos. As far as food, we don't have anything close to permani brothers so we can do the Pizza thing or Chipotle. Unfortunately there are not many fast food places in the Arena District that are open on the weekends so we may have to hit up a food joint close to Biggie's or our place.  


Alicia about: crawling
Leanne's friends Bar is called Flannagans which is close to our place. A bunch of us are planning on being up there by 8AM on Friday morning. This place gets tons of business on St Pattys Day so I'm not sure if they would waive the cover, especially since after 8PM the cover goes up to $15. If she could pull some strings to get the cover waived or reduced, then everyone can meet us over there when you get into town.   Flannagans


Alicia about: St Pattys Day
We are touring on Saturday the 18th.  


Alicia about: Ooga Choka
For all of you David Hasselhoff fans..this is hilarious.  Ooga Choka


Alicia about: St. Pattys Day
So we decided we are having St. Pattys day in Columbus, right? If so, do people want t-shirts this year? I know everyone is strapped for cash because of weddings, houses, and traveling so I waas wondering if everyone was still interested in getting them.  


Alicia about: high school reunion
Yeah, not sure if I am going to go or not. I just talk to one person that I went to highschool with. I wonder if Nick Goings will show up..I'm sure Brad would love to talk shit to him about the Bears v. Panthers playoff game.  


Alicia about: Question
Aaron, Brad and I rarely talk on the phone during the day..we usually just e-mail if we need something. On a different note I just got an invite to my 10 Year Highschool reunion..God I feel old.  


Alicia about: footballs
Brad was in Chicago for the game yesterday. He gets back this afternoon and I'm sure will have plenty of comments on how shitty the Bears defense played.  


Alicia about: st patty
I vote for a saturday crawl in Columbus. If people get into town somewhat early on Friday we can head over to Flanagans (the place Leanne's friend owns) They always have a huge party with tents set up outside for live music and it's not too far from our place.

Thats fine, no hurry.  


Alicia about: pictures
Bub, Did you get the New Years pictures Brad sent you? We weren't sure if it went through.  


Alicia about: musac
No problem, I should have the pictures to you in the morning.  


Alicia about: musac
I do but I'll have to give it to Brad to upload tomorrow.  


Alicia about: hairy bergs new years bonanza
I have tons of pictures that I will send to Bub to put up once I sort through all of them.  


Alicia about: march madness
You could have competition weekend in Buffalo in February then everyone can come to Columbus for St. Pattys Day in March.   


Alicia about: ski trip anyone?
Brad and I would be in for a ski weekend. When we went last year we found tons of inexpensive condos that were ski in ski out.   


Alicia about: new place
Congratulations Biggie!! Can't wait to see it.  


Alicia about: Chicago
Rush Street is the best place to find good food and great bars. Brad and I like Tavern on the Rush. It's a steak house and has a really nice bar on the first floor.  


Alicia about: house
Thats great Biggie! Where is the house at?  


Alicia about:
Brads b-day is the 17th so everyone is welcome to come to Columbus if they want.  


Alicia about: at least i have hockey?
Yes, Ohio State has a corner back named Ashton Youboty.  


Alicia about: cable regulation
Brad and I don't have a choice for cable. We are stuck in the one pocket of Columbus that has Adelphia and they completely suck. No DVR, no high speed internet, no HDTV. Although they were recently purchased by Time Warner, which the rest of the city has, we will probably move before we see any improvement.  


Alicia about: STD
We will leave the cornhole boards at home then and bring the bags. I think our bags need some minor repairs too. My mom taught Brad how to use the sewing machine so he could make the repairs himself. Needless to say the stitching is a little messed up.  


Alicia about: STD
Brad and Biggie both have cornhole but I'm not sure if we will be able to fit it in the car with the rest of our stuff. We can try.  


Alicia about: sunny colden NY
Yes we will be bringing Tela!  


Alicia about: suuny colden NY
Brad, Biggie, and I are coming on Friday. We hope to be in Colden by 6 or 7 so we will need directions to your dads. Do you need us to bring anything else besides camping stuff?  


Alicia about: name
It really is a pain in the ass to change your name! 1. Get a new SS card changed at the SS office that is only open 10-4. 2. Once you have your new SS card mailed to you a week or two later, you can get your drivers license changed, change work benefits and get payroll changed. 3. Make a personal stop at the bank to change name and order new card. 4. Call everywhere else and fax over your marriage certificate and order new credit cards. You're lucky you don't have to refinance a house. When we refinanced I had to write out on every page "Alicia Pauling formally know as Alicia Beair"
