My brother and Michael were in scouts together for at least ten years. They started as wee little Cub Scouts making volcanoes in Jane O'Neil...http://denver.yourhub.com/Parker/Blogs/Archive/Promotions/Blog~396113.aspx11/25/2007 6:53:57 PMMeagan Savage I was sitting here thinking about what I should blog about when I realized I never wrote a blog about my eventful evening as Curious George. I volunteered with APO at the zoo for a program called Night Eyes where the little kids come trick-or-treating. I volunteered twice. The first night I was s...http://denver.yourhub.com/Parker/Blogs/Archive/Blog~393691.aspx11/18/2007 3:38:01 PMMeagan Savage I'm in love. It's a forbidden love, too. People like me aren't supposed to love like this. At least that's certainly the message I'm picking up. This isn't a public declaration of love for a person (I doubt I'd have the nerve to write a blog about that). No, this is a public declaration of ...http://denver.yourhub.com/Parker/Blogs/Archive/Blog~392118.aspx11/14/2007 2:14:09 PMMeagan Savage A few days ago I had to do an all-day leadership workshop. I wasn't looking forward to it. It seemed kind of ... long. We had to do two weeks worth of RA training so I was pretty much thinking that there was nothing more I could possibly learn and that there's nothing at that workshop I haven...http://denver.yourhub.com/Parker/Blogs/Archive/Blog~385147.aspx10/30/2007 6:44:14 PMMeagan Savage I got this idea from a resident of mine. I thought it was really cool so I decided to write my own. 1. I love my freckles 2. I love my curly hair. 3. I watch too many movies. 4. I cried when Steve Irwin died. 5. I like Harry Potter. 6. I don't drink. 7. I get scared when I t...http://denver.yourhub.com/Parker/Blogs/Archive/Blog~385145.aspx10/30/2007 6:39:58 PMMeagan Savage Well, the Dr. Seuss World Series was a disappointment. After winning 21 of 22 games, sweeping the Phillies and the Diamondbacks, the Rockies lost the World Series to the Boston Red Sox. It's hard to say if it was the eight-day break that did the Rockies in, or if it was just a bunch of little...http://denver.yourhub.com/Parker/Blogs/Archive/Blog~385143.aspx10/30/2007 6:32:53 PMMeagan Savage If you've graduated from high school recently, chances are you're probably starting to think about shopping for things to bring to school. I decided to put together this little list of the top ten things I found most useful my first year at school that you probably won't find on any list of r...http://denver.yourhub.com/Parker/Blogs/Archive/Blog~338490.aspx7/24/2007 12:03:12 PMMeagan Savage I'm currently taking a photography class at the Mainstreet Center. I've never had any photography instruction before, but I'm enjoying it so far! Check out some of these pics I took for homework out on the Cherry Creek Trail near Clarke Farms last week.http://denver.yourhub.com/Parker/Blogs/Archive/Blog~325352.aspx6/22/2007 10:53:25 AMMeagan Savage In high school, I became immediately attached to the graduating classes of 2005 and 2007. And that makes sense, I guess. I spent three years with each class so I got to know those kids pretty well. 2005 left me, then it was my turn, and now it is your turn, 2007. Because I love ya' I've decided t...http://denver.yourhub.com/LoneTree/Blogs/Archive/Blog~311211.aspx5/21/2007 8:33:56 AMMeagan Savage In high school, I became immediately attached to the graduating classes of 2005 and 2007.

I know Mothers' Day is coming up an I've been thinking furiously about gifts to give you. All the material gifts I come up with seem so impersonal and don't even come close to sending the message I'm looking to send. A teddy bear holding a heart that says "I Love Y...http://denver.yourhub.com/Parker/Blogs/Archive/Blog~301395.aspx4/30/2007 8:20:55 AMMeagan Savage For Easter weekend most of my friends went home since they live pretty close. The friends who stayed had plans I wasn't too interested in, so my RA cajoled me into attending the ISA formal. ISA is the International Students Association. The formal was held at the Marriott downtown it's a really n...http://denver.yourhub.com/Parker/Blogs/Archive/Blog~301291.aspx4/29/2007 4:53:14 PMMeagan Savage Ok, I'm sure no matter how disconnected you like to think you are with the rest of the world (in which case I wonder why you're wandering the bloggosphere if it is indeed your hope to say in this disconnected state), everybody knows what's goin' down on good ol' AI these days. For those not too f...http://denver.yourhub.com/Parker/Blogs/Archive/Blog~288474.aspx4/3/2007 3:49:21 PMMeagan Savage On Tuesday night a new reality show debuted: The Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for a New Doll . First of all, I think it's a pointless show because why on earth do they need yet another Pussycat Doll? Honestly, how many of them are there? I think there are six of them. SIX!? Most groups t...http://denver.yourhub.com/Parker/Blogs/Archive/Blog~260684.aspx3/8/2007 2:22:23 PMMeagan Savage On Tuesday night a new reality show debuted: "The Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for a New Doll."

For Valentine's Day, KYGO (my absolute favorite radio station) gathered over 1,000 listeners at Invesco Field and had them hold a red, white or blue card and made a heart-shaped American flag for the troops over seas.

I think it's really sweet to see the chocolates and roses everywhere and all of those cheesy cards being sent out and all of that cutesy stuff. I wasn't always a fan of Valentine's Day, though. I hated how every other girl in the world would get candy and flowe...http://denver.yourhub.com/Parker/Blogs/Archive/Blog~183026.aspx2/14/2007 8:18:39 AMMeagan Savage Ok, so I just read a few articles about this whole ordeal with Addie Kubisiak. In sociology right now, we're learning about how we shouldn't pass judgment too quickly in situations like this. I'm learning that it's important to think about what kind of environment people grow up in and their ...http://denver.yourhub.com/Parker/Blogs/Archive/Blog~180783.aspx2/8/2007 2:31:08 PMMeagan Savage On Friday I had my four-hour group RA interview session. I've never been judged for four consecutive hours before, so this was a first. There are sixty(ish) applicants and only 20(ish) spots to be filled so about one in every three people in the room will be selected as an RA. The Office of Resid...http://denver.yourhub.com/Parker/Blogs/Archive/Blog~176086.aspx1/28/2007 9:48:19 AMMeagan Savage My RA is probably the coolest person on the planet. She's smart and funny and kind and helpful and she leaves us little notes on our doors that make us feel all special and she's basically everything an RA should be. She is so much so that she actually made me want to become an RA myself. I k...http://denver.yourhub.com/Parker/Blogs/Archive/Blog~174196.aspx1/23/2007 2:13:49 PMMeagan Savage As I'm sure you know by now, Colorado is more or less 500 miles away from Des Moines. I had a few cliques of friends in high school, as I'm sure most people do, and I'm the only one in this particular group of my high school homies who went to college out of state. Two of them ended up at CSU...http://denver.yourhub.com/Parker/Blogs/Archive/Blog~170223.aspx1/14/2007 8:27:06 AMMeagan Savage I've had some pretty bad phone trouble this semester. Yessir. First, I accidentally dropped my first phone in the toilet. Yep. It fell out of my pocket, and in it went. My heart sunk as I realized what had happened and some sort of raging thought of "you can save it!" ran through my brain as ...http://denver.yourhub.com/Parker/Blogs/Archive/Blog~170022.aspx1/13/2007 9:53:53 AMMeagan Savage So... I've had some extra time being at home for this past month since I was on my break. I've been poking around Yourhub.com and catching up on blogs and stuff like that, but SOMEONE'S MISSING!!!! Rob Guthrie, I miss you!!!! Where'd you go? Your last blog was on November 11th? That was two m...http://denver.yourhub.com/Parker/Blogs/Archive/Blog~169404.aspx1/11/2007 12:29:26 PMMeagan Savage Personally, I'm not entirely sure why New Years' Eve is such a big deal. I mean, all that really happens is that the date changes, right? Nobody really makes a big deal the night of November 30th because in a few short hours it will be December 1st. I don't usually have plans for New Years. Somet...http://denver.yourhub.com/Parker/Blogs/Archive/Blog~167547.aspx1/6/2007 2:48:07 PMMeagan Savage Personally, I have to say that I was pretty dang lucky to come home when I did. I would probably cry for three days if i was stuck in Iowa right now. And I'm really glad that I didn't miss this blizzard. My family and I were in New York for the 2003 storm so we really didn't get to experience it....http://denver.yourhub.com/Parker/Blogs/Archive/Blog~163329.aspx12/20/2006 10:03:01 PMMeagan Savage Well hey there! You may or may not be aware of this, but something pretty significant has changed between yesterday's blog and today's.
