Well since we have so much snow, so early into winter the snowmobile trails have opened. Its a good thing that we got that 4 inches of packing snow and then it rained later that day. It wasn't good for the roads but it layed down a nice hard pack for the snowmobile trails.
If we wouldn't have gotten that rain/sleet mix the trails would be all ripped up by now and would be closed. After we got the rain/sleet mix we have gotton probrably about 4 inches or so more, which is pretty much fluff. However it does make the ride a little bit smoother which is nice, if your sled is set up to be fast and not for trail riding.
So the day the trails opened me and a group of my friends went out that night. We ended up going out to Waupun, and got some food at McDonalds and then just went cruising to Leroy. We ended up driving right under the new windmills. Which are alot bigger when you are right underneath them.
We went out again last night. Which we went to Oakfield to fill up on gas, and then headed out to Eden/Camblesport area. The trails were nice, just groomed yesterday morning so they didnt have any ruts or anything. We ended up staying out late and got home about 12:30 last night.

Christmas Trees
Well, we always get a big christmas tree. We have a vaulted ceiling in our family room which is 15 feet tall, so normally we end up getting like a 13 ft christmas tree. Well this year is no different.
Saturday we brought our 13 ft tree in and stood it up in the corner. I always like the smell of fresh pine. You come in from outside and smell the fresh tree, its kinda like a frebreeze commercial. It sounds rediculous but its a good smell.
The worst part about having such a tall tree is that I have to put the christmas lights on it. Which turns out to be a shitload of lights, then i got to put on all the ornaments. but in the end it is always worth it.
Everybody enjoys a christmas tree. It smells great and it is a fresh smell, and it looks great. People just appreciate christmas trees. One thing that i dont like about christmas is the damn music. It should start on the 20th and end the 26, that should be a law.

Christmas
Well christmas is in like 3 weeks and is coming rather fast. Christmas is a fun time of year, who doesn't like getting presents. Sure you have to buy people presents but you also get presents and it is normally a surprise. If your like me you pretty much get to pick out what you want from your parents. Which is nice cause you get what you like, but the surprise is gone.
Well this year is already totally different from the years past. We had snow on the ground on Thanksgiving, which is almost unheard of. I'm almost positive that we will have snow on the ground for Christmas. We just got more snow last night and we are told that there is more in the upcoming days. But you never know those weather people aren't very good at predicting the forecast ahead of time. They do get it right now and then but it seems like the times they don't it is the total opposite of what they thought. They might say a perfectly sunny day with little clouds and it turns out that you wake up and it is raining.
Well i hope that the weather stations get the forecast right, because i am really looking forward to more snow. More snow means that the snowmobile will be coming out. Hopefully the DNR will see how frozen the ground is and how much snow we have and maybe get the trails open ahead of time. On the Fond du Lac snowmobile trails website, it says that they won't even consider the trails to open until late in December. So hopefully they change that!

Thanksgiving
Well this thanksgiving was alot of fun. Just hanging out with all your family and talking about whats going on in everybodies life is always interesting. Another great thing about this Thanksgiving is watching the packers beat the Lion's.
All of my sisters and their families came over and ate and watched the game. I have five sisters and 3 of them have families, so its nice that we have a big house. My sister Ann has 5 children, my sister Kate has 4 children, and my sister mag has one.
For our thanksgiving my mom made turkey, and a bunch of deserts. While my sisters all brought a bunch of foods such as deviled eggs, cheesy potatoes, stuffing, 7 layer salad, scalloped corn. For deserts everyone brought something different like pumkin pie, cherry torte, cheesecake, and apple pie.
Well we had a good snow the other night. Out by my house we got an accumulation of about 1 inch which is pretty good for this time of year even with the ground not being frozen. So tomorrow im going to get out my snowmobile and tune it up and get it ready to hit the trails when we get some more snow. I would rather work on the sled while its still kind of warm instead of 20 degrees.

Milwaukee
Well Milwaukee is alot of fun. This Friday a bunch of my friends went down to Milwaukee to visit some friends. We left at about 2:30 and started driving and arrived there at about 3:15, the traffic wasn't bad at all. Once we got there we went to meet some of his neighbors, which have a house.
The house was pretty sweet. Although the house has 3 bedrooms and there are 5 guys living there, so the guys that have to share a room get a cheaper rent which turns out pretty sweet if you dont mind sharing a room. They have a good size kitchen, a nice family room with leather furniture, and a big screen tv.
So after that we went back to Alex's appartment and drank some beer, played some nintendo, and just sat and chilled until everybody else got there. It was alot of fun until some guy pushed his limit and started puking everywhere. Thats when it went downhill.
After this all happened we went up to Johnnys apartment which is on the third floor. We went up there to get away from everything else. This is where we ended up sleeping which sucked cause i woke up at 730 with the sun shining directly in my face. Who has only half of a window covered up by drapes.

Family
Well this weekend my sister is coming home from college. For anybody who doesnt knowI have a big family. I have 5 sisters and no brothers. So as you probrably guessed it kinda sucked growing up and playing with barbies, cause i didnt have anything else to do.
So out of my five sisters four of them are older than me and one is younger. From oldest to youngest it goes Ann, Kate, Mag, Nicole, and Alexandra. I Have a twin sister, which is Alexandra. She is younger than me by five minutes so that means im not the baby of the family.
Alexandera is coming home for the weekend. She played volleyball in highschool (Oakfield High school) and was the "2006 North Trailways Conference Player of the Year." That was how she decieded where she would go to college. She ended up going to Kankakee Illinios on a full ride for volleyball.
The volleyball season just ended for the Kankakee team. My sister got the award "1st team all region" as a starting freshman. Since the season is over for her she will be coming home alot more on the weekends and such. She has played volleyball her whole life and just loves the sport.

nothing to write about
Well once again I have to write another blog and I just cant think of what to write about. I hate writing these, it just seems like theres no point in doing this and its just a big waste of time. So we have to do this so our class actually talks. I dont think writing a blog is going to make our class any closer, so why do it.
If you want to talk to someone in the class go do it, these blogs dont do shit. Yeah so maybe it will help our communication skills a little bit but if you were to just go up and talk to someone in person, it would help you alot more. After doing this a couple time you wont be as nervous and it will just come more naturally to you.
Well anyways blogs suck unless you are writing them for fun. But if you are required to write them for a grade it just sucks, expecially when you cant think of anything to write about. Which tends to happen quite a bit. So what are you supposed to do when you have nothing to write about.
You can justs ramble on until you have met the required lenght. Which people arent going to enjoy. Thats what happens when you can't think of anything to write about and you have to make four paragraphs which turns out to be shitty reading anyways.
