I am writing this post to imform the Slaw Family bloggers that I have made some changes- hopefully for the better- to the blog by updating it to the new version of blogger. Even though the blog may look the same, many features have been changed. Specifically, I was thinking about the new privacy features. I don't know if anyone has noticed, but I recently took away the username and password from the main screen in response to a comment from someone outside our family. I think it would be for the best if only our family could view/post on the blog- but maybe others want friends to view the blog- I don't know. If the consensus is that only people from our family should be able to view the blog, then I need every blogger's email so that I can allow those people to make posts on/view the blog. In the meantime, here is how you make a post:
Under links on this site, select www.blogger.com; click on New Blogger in the upper righthand corner of the screen; Username:matt@ettleson.com, password: dummyline; click "sign in"; click on "New Post" in the Slaw Dummyline box- you should be transfered to a new screen with a text box- that is where you type in what you want to post.
I hope this transition from old to new runs smoothly, and if anyone has any questions or concerns, please contact me at matt@ettleson.com- at least that has not changed...:)

Go Bears!
Finally, the NFC Champion Bears (man, that sounds good) will be playing on the one Sunday that really counts- Super Bowl Sunday! Hopefully my dad (aka Uncle Mike), who's going to the game in Miami, will give us an update on what it feels like to be in the stadium during the Super Bowl. And I hope in two weeks the Bears will upgrade from NFC Champs to Super Bowl 41 Champions!
Matt & Jakey
P.S. Perhaps one of the lucky few that went to the game today (Daniel) would like to share his experience with us...

GIRL SCOUT COOKIES!
Hello everyone! Well today is the official day! Today, girl scouts all over the world will be running to their neighbors doors, tempting them with the best cookies in the world! However, I am a little passed the age of knocking on doors with my girl scout vest and skirt on... so I am going to sell in a more technological way! As I am the only Lincenberg girl scout left, if you want cookies, just let me know! I will send out an email later explaining all the different types of cookies...because there is a new one! Get excited!

spring semester... so far
Hey!
Well, now that it's been about 1.5 weeks of me being back to school I thought someone might be interested in an update!
My classes are going okay. I am taking a couple of interesting ones, but for some reason none of my professors are capturing my interest or attention as much as I would prefer.
In case you were wondering, my classes are:
Genetics
Linguistics
Anthropology: Multicultural Healthcare
Cell Biology: People, Plaque, and Parasites
This is a relatively easy schedule (only 13 hours!)because I am also spending a lot of time studying for the MCAT (medical college admissions test). My class meets once a week for three hours, so it's a little boring, but well worth it. Hopefully, come April 16, I will be blowing this exam out of the water! Haha... we'll see!
As for everything else... stu is good, friends are good, SDT is good... and that sums me up!
I would love to hear updates on life from everyone else, so good night and i'll be reading about you soon!
These are my friends! This was our first night back together. The one next to me is my roommate Hadas, the one in the blue is my best friend Erica, and above me is my lifelong friend Jackie... and of course there's me!
LOVE YOU!

BJ is here--2007 style
So, how does 2007 feel to everybody? Seven is my lucky number so I have a feeling that this will be an awesome year for our family. 14, 17 and 21 are also lucky numbers of mine so I'll be making this same bold prediction in 2014, 2017 and 2021. Don't say I didn't warn you!
I would like to take a moment and congratulate Paige for making the first post of 2007. Bravo Paige, way to get the Slaw ball rolling! Sara responded to Paigey's post by asking if any of us had made any New Year's resolutions. I didn't officially write any down, but I did make a couple of mental resolutions (other than winning the lottery, which I resolve to do every year, and yet don't buy lottery tickets) that I would like to share
1. Stay busy. This is along the same vein with my Mom's "Just Do It!" slogan for 2007. Busy BJ = Cool BJ. It's that simple. So far so good. I returned to Des Moines last Tuesday and had something going on Wednesday-Saturday night. I didn't have plans with anyone today, but I did go out for a late lunch. I'm allowed one day a week to recover!
2. Put myself out there. That's right ladies, BJ is back on the open market. Be sure to tell all your friends:) I actually put up a profile on Yahoo! Personals right before the new year, and I have my first date lined up for this Tuesday. I'm working quickly so that I don't talk myself out of it! This girl grew up bowling and playing golf since the age of 7--talk about a needle in a haystack!
3. Keep my family informed. You are all the most important people in my life and I don't want a little thing like my living out in corn country to get in the way of sharing my life and love with the fam. I have a trip booked to see G-rents out in Palm Desert, California and I know they are already planning their interrogation. I want the rest of you to do the same. Call or write me anytime with questions or thoughts. I will be better about responding. That reminds me--Leah, I owe you a phone call girl!
Well, I hope everyone is off to a healthy start to the new year. Love and hugs to all, BJ:)
