#3 Create a Test Post (and blog about 7 1/2 Things)
Hmm.....The 7 1/2 Things....I've gotten so wrapped up in coordinating the Learning 2.0 program that I'm a little late with my first "official" post!
I think the easiest thing for me is to start with the end in mind. I always have a glorious vision for how things will turn out.....it's the stuff in between that can bog me down! In that vein I would probably say that viewing problems as challenges is the toughest for me. The problems often derail my glorious vision :).
Congrats to everyone that is up and running with Learning 2.0; you're helping to make my vision a reality!!

The Holidays are fast approaching....
Time for Whitney's holiday posting! No need to hold your breath any longer.
For those of you familiar with my cooking skills, I attempted to make some traditional Norwegian Christmas cookies this year: Fattigman and Rosettes.
They turned out pretty good, as evidenced by the fact that they are all gone now. Sigh. Fortunately, Brian and I are going to Minnesota for Christmas to see my family so I'm hoping that the fattigman and rosettes will be falling like rain (or snow, as the case may be).
We are also planning on seeing A Christmas Carol at the Guthrie Theater while we're there as a birthday present to me :). That's right kids, Whitney turns 28 on December 23rd! Exciting times; I'm turning into a grownup.
Brian's final two games of 2005 are big ones, as the Bobcats take on Detroit on the 22nd and Kentucky on the 30th. The Kentucky game will be on ESPN2, so tune in and cheer on the 'Cats!

Rhode Island bound!
Hello everyone, I'm checking in from the lovely (but tiny) state of Rhode Island today. Why Rhode Island, you ask? The Bobcats are in town to play URI today, so I decided to make the trip to stand by my man.
We experienced some apocolyptic weather yesterday, having rain, snow, sunshine, rainbows, an ice storm, and just plain cold all in one day. I kept waiting for the sky to fall.
Well, I'm signing off for now, but be sure to check out the Bobcats on TV at 7:30 if you can!

The Dresses (Brian, KEEP OUT!!!)
Two postings in one day; a virtual flurry of blogging from your girl Whitney!
Now comes the interesting part: deciding on a dress. I tried some on a couple of weekends ago with Amanda (my maid of honor/only bridesmaid) and we figured out that, surprisingly, I look best in a strapless or halter style. Who knew I could hold it up. I can't actually put pictures of me in the dresses online, since most of the bridal shops have very strict rules about taking pictures. The bridal business is more cutthroat than I thought.
Please give me your input on the finalists!! Just use the "comments" option at the bottom of this posting to let me know what you think.
Dress 1
I would go with the black and white (as shown in the main picture). I didn't get to try this one on, but it will be coming in December. Check out all views.
Dress 2
LOVED this one in the store; I tried it on in navy and white, but would get it in red and white (as shown in the back photo). Be sure to look at the back; it's beautiful.
Dress 3
Again, didn't get to try this one on but I like it!
Dress 4
Sorry, there isn't a good direct link to this dress. Choose "Fall 2005" under the big BRIDAL letters; go to the second page and it is the first one on the upper left. The style name is Kiara. Again, check out the back and alternate views.
Dress 5
This one is a halter-style that looked pretty decent when I tried it on.
I'm thinking very hard about wearing some traditional Norwegian jewelry; here's an idea of what it looks like; it's not too gigantic, each piece is about 1" x 1" and come as a pendant and earrings.

Most of the dresses that I looked at had beading/designs reminiscent of the style of the jewelry. The earring on the left are close to actual size, the ones on the right are pictured much bigger than they actually are.
Looking forward to hearing from you all!!
Whitney
