"You can tell which picture is in color because the trees are white" -Cassie

'Twas the night before New Years Eve and all through the house not a creature was stearing not even a mouse because everyone was in the cities shouting WE GOTTA BINGO!

Dad made a new boyfriend, his name was Jeremy.

But Christa stole him away

Cassie got lucky with Bucky and got to dance the night away

We got some good food but the service was only fair

Then we went to Cassies where we tried to take a group picture

And eventually we got there

Then it was time for drinks and games

And not a drop was left in the house

We all had some laughs

But soon we grew sleepy

So it was bedtime for us all and to all a good night!

New Table!!

Hello! Last night Jese and I went to wal mart and spent our christmas money! We bought a new table because ours was rusty and gross! When we went there we couldn't get anyone to help us and then we finally got the photo guy to go get us a cart to put the table one but it wasn't the right kind so the table didn't really fit on it. The guy just help jese put the table on the cart and then he left after we checked out the table fell off the cart and nobody would help us and it was heavy so I couldn't lift it :( finally when we got it out to the car we knew it wouldn't fit in plus I couldn't lift it so we tore open the box and took the pieces out and put them in the car! we left the box in the parking lot on the cart because wal mart sucks balls because they have poor customer service!
Today Jese and I cleaned the apartment, really I did and he cleaned the bathroom because it was his turn! I put a roast in my new slow cooker for supper tonight because I wanted to try it out! I also put carrots in it for Jese, yuck-o! I decided that for my new years resolution I am going to watch less t.v. I can only watch regis and kelly in the morning if I have nothing to do and then I can start watching when rachael ray comes on if I have nothing else to do! I think that is a good plan because the last few months I have become super lazy and that is not a very good thing to do! Well that is about all I know for now so have a nice day!!

Christmas number 1, 2, and 3 Finished!

Merry Christmas!! This weekend Jese and I had Christmas at Nevas, Ricks, and Amys (but it was mothers christmas) Jese and I both got lots of stuff! I got lots of cooking things and I used them all today! I made peanut butter cookies, oatmeal cookies, peppermint candy things with white chocolate, and a peppermint cake! The peppermint things are for grandma b.'s christmas so I am going to freeze them! If you heard the horrible story about my angel dieing this week it happened again :( First she died because her lights went out so I changed them and she went out again so I unpluged her. Yesterday Jese and I got back I found angel on the floor face-down, I think Pizza killed her because when I was changing the lights Pizza was trying to eat her. Pretty much Pizza and I are going to rot in hell! She also knocked down a bunch of ornaments off of the tree, jerk! The stupid kittens put a toy in their water this weekend so it sucked up all of the water and they didn't have any! Well that is about all for now!!

Christmas Ann Wadekamper!

I'm finished!!!

Hello! I'm finished with classes for a whole month!!!! Yesterday morning I had my last final! Well Jese and I haven't been feeling very well this week :( Really Jese just felt bad like one day. I have been coughing really bad all week and sneezing. This weekend I have to do all of our laundry, we haven't done it since last time we were home which was like 3 weeks ago! Today we are leaving as soon as Jese gets done having his oil changed! Well I don't really know too much so bye!!

Hello! It is almost christmas!! I am very excited because christmas is the best time of the year! Today I am going to make m&m cookies, the m&ms are red and green so they will be christmasy! I am also going to make some chocolate covered pretzals because we ate all of ours and I still have some pretzels left to make more! I forgot to say that this weekend the toliet wouldn't stop running at 11:30 at night! I wasn't very happy because the office was closed so we couldn't just call them! I fixed it though in about 10 minutes, the pump thingy wouldn't stay up so it would just keep on running. Jese and I watched Robin Hood last night, I like that movie very much!! Today I am feeling better but my throat still hurts but not as much! I am pretty sure I am going to get an A in ASL, if I didn't I would be very suprised! Tomorrow I have a test in Accounting and Applied Calc, I'm ready to be done with math! Well I really don't know too much else so bye!!

Oh yeah, this weekend I was bored and I made a website for my wedding. It doesn't really have much on it right now but here is the website: http://www.christaandjese.weddings.com

"We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become disguised to ourselves." -Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Hello! Well this weekend Jese and I didn't do too much! On Saturday we went to the movie, The Holiday, it was pretty good! Jese studied pretty much all weekend for finals because his are in the beginning of the week, mine are mostly wed, and thurs. Yesterday I did my math homework and Jese was way to stressed out so we went for a walk around the lake, it was about 5 miles, it took us 1 hour. By the time we got back it was dark out! There were some little kids skating on the lake and their dad was playing with a remote control airplane, it was a really good one because it could fly really far and high! After we got back I made the best chicken breast ever! It was out of one of my rachael ray cookbooks, but I didn't make the salad that went along with it because then we would have had to buy a ton of stuff! The chicken only had garlic, parsley, EVOO, salt, pepper, and tabasco sauce. It was pretty much the best chicken I have ever had! After that we played risk, we both won 1 game! After that we watched the movie, Santa Baby, it was on ABC family, I liked it! After that it was bedtime because it was 11! Today Jese had 2 finals and then work. I have a final in ASL at 3:30 but that is it until wednesday! I am not too worried for my finals this semester. I am glad I will be finally done with math! There are still 150 points possible (50 for homework, 100 for final) and I only need 42 for a C and 115 for a B! Since I have gotten 50 on all of my homework I figure I will again so then I will have a C for sure and then I need to get 65 on my test and I will have a B! I hope I get a B, this test is going to be hard though because it has a lot of the stuff that I don't really know how to do, I will try for a B though!! Today I do not feel very good again, my throat is all clogged up and I am coughing a ton more then normal :( Being sickly sucks balls! On friday Jese and I are driving to Faribault and then Saturday we will be going to the cities to go to Nevas for christmas and then that night we will go to Waseca to go to Ricks. On sunday we are going to church and then to amys for christmas with mother! Well that is all I know for now!!

"Error is human but to forgive is divine"

We have heat!!! Yesterday a lady came to change our furnace filter and she told me that our furnace (and many others) did not have the piolt light lit, I guess that is why we were so freezing cold!! Now it is nice and toasty warm in out apartment! Today is my last day of classes!! Next week I have finals, but today 2 of my classes were cancled so now I get done at noon today!!! Yesterday I started studing for my finals and I put away the dishes and I put away our laundry and I watched some telly! Tomorrow Jese and I are having a date! We are going to go see The Holiday, it looks good! I really don't know anything new today other than we don't have to sit around with two blankets and a sweater anymore in our apartment! Oh yeah, last night we ordered pizza from pizza hut at 8:00 (that is when jese was done with class) and it was yummy! Except for the guy had the wrong address, he thought it was 903 and it is 902 so he couldn't find us so he called. Well I guess that is all for now!!

Finals make December suck balls!

Hello! Well I am glad that most of my finals aren't cummilative. My math one and bus. stats one are, I am not excited for the math one, but I can do really bad on it and still get a c in the class so that is good! I have my bus. stats one today, hopefully I do good on it. I think that I should do okay because I got 82% on the midterm (85% is an A in his class) and this test should be pretty much the same as the midterm! I was supposed to have a 20pt. quiz in ASL today but the teachers son puked in her bedroom this morning so she didn't have time to write the quiz. that is why you should always do your things ahead of time, so when your kid pukes it okay! Yesterday for lunch I made the 5 ingredent recipe from the rachael ray magazine but I didn't like it very much, it was to plain tasting, 5 ingredients are diffentaly not enough! Jese bought some plastic stuff to go over the windows so we are going to put that on tonight so hopefully it will get warmer in here! right now it isn't as bad because it warmed up today but tomorrow is supposed to be super cold again :( Christmas is 19 days away so everyone better get their christmas shopping done!! I love christmas, it is the best time of they year, it is even better then my birthday!! Tonight Jese and I are going to have some deer steak for supper, which by the way is way cheaper then a rachael ray meal! Oh yes, on monday I registered for classes, I only had 13 credits (4 classes) because everything else was taken already but I keep checking to see if anyone else has dropped the classes I need and I got lucky because I got 2 more so now I have 19 (6 classes) credits so now I need to figure out what gen ed to drop! Well I have to go pee before I leave for my next class so bye!!

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!

Hello! Man it is super cold out. I was talking on my phone on my way to class and now my hand is numb! Well an update on my classes for next semester, I will not get any for my major, I am going to finish up my gen eds though so I might not take summer classes if they do not offer ones in my major. I am now going to minor in Managment Information Systems because I need 150 credits to take the CPA test so I am just going to get those credits by doing that! This weekend Neva and Tearnce came and visited us on Friday. Jese played Risk with them while I cooked supper. I made meat and gravey and noodles and mashed potatoes. It was good! On Saturday Jese and I did our Christmas shopping, I went to target and he went to wal mart and lacrosse (so he could bring my ring in). Yesterday we went to wal mart so I could get some food for a rachael ray meal! I made Pasta with Brocoli and Sausage with a Ricotta suprise! I did leave out the brocoli though because I don't like it and it is a good thing I did because it wouldn't have fit in my pan!! The meal was really good and easy to make! It was in the Express Lane cookbook if anyone wants to make it! Well I have to go now!

Christmas Kitty!!

Hello! Pizza likes to sleep under the tree, yesterday she was there all day long! Today is not a good day, I looked at my classes and found out that they are all filling up. One of the classes only has 10 seats and only 3 are left :( I need to get into my classes because I have no other ones to take. Last year I had to redue my whole schedule because of this problem but this year I can't because most of the classes are only offered once so I can't really change my schedule around! Maybe I will just take bowling and work full-time! Just kidding I won't do that, that would be way to much work! Hopefully I will get in my classes, I don't registar until December 4th though. Oh and in case you didn't know I now have to stay in school for an extra year because to take the CPA exam you have to have 150 credits, which is 27 more than I will have, jerks! Well I best be listening in class now!

"If friends ask you to be their child's guardian in case they die in a plane crash, you can say no."

Hello everyone! I have been a busy bee the last two days! Yesterday I made banana muffins with the two bad bananas we had. Then after that I made chocolate covered pretzels. Before all of that I made deer steak and garlic mashed potatos for supper. Today I made christmas sugar cookies but I haven't frosted them yet because Jese is going to help me with that! I also did the dishes and cleaned out the fridge. Oh yes, I also got my foot cut by a piece of glass from a bowl Jese broke and didn't clean up properly. I also did some homework. Oh yes, yesterday I got my math test back and I got 79 out of 100!! That is one point away from a B! Now I have a B in the class, thta is really sweet! Well I am going to go clean the apartment for a little bit now!

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas, almost!! Well this weekend Jese and I went home on thursday for thanksgiving. We had lunch at grandma w.'s and supper at amy's. They were both delish meals! Jese had to drive back to winona thursday night because he had to work in the morning. I stayed at mothers place. On friday after Jese was done working at walmart he drove back home and went to work in northfield with father. Amy, mom, and me all got up and went shopping at 7 am. We went to walmart and kohls in mankato and target. At kohls we stood in line for 1 1/2 hours, it sucked balls, but we got good deals so that is good. That night I stayed at amy's. We got pizza because we were to lazy to make supper! On saturday I went out to eat with my friends at el tequila and then jese and i went to conors for a little bit. Then we went back to amy's. Jese and Adam had to get up in the morning and go to work and amy and i slept in untill 9 am and then we did some homework and then amy took a nap and we watched some tv! Last night it took Jese and I 2 hours to get home because it was super foggy out so we couldn't see. Well I have to get ready for class now so bye!

Hello! Pizza likes to go in my boots!! This weekend I did alot of things! Jese and I drove to Faribault on Saturday morning to go to a wedding. That was a lot of fun, but we didn't dance because nobody was! On sunday we went to my grandma b.'s to get christmas decorations, we got lots of good ones! Then we drove back to winona and I finished my math homework. Then while we were watching desperate housewives we put together our tree, but we didn't decorate it. I know it still isn't even thanksgiving but I didn't want the tree box sitting in our living room all week! On monday I had to go to classes :( but it is okay because that was my only day of classes! I also rearranged the apartment on monday so I could put the tree in a good spot! I ended up rearranging the bedroom and putting the desk in there, it looks bigger in there now even though there is more stuff in there! Monday night we put up the decorations on the tree so now it looks wonderful! Yesterday I had to meet with my advisor so I could get my registration code number so I can register for classes in dec. Last night I put up the rest of the christmas decorations now our apartment looks really nice! Pizza keeps wanting to go on the table so I keep saying no to her and then she stares at me, she is doing it right now, I hate when she stares at me! Anyways, last night when Jese was at work he talked to our neighbor. I was watching gilmore girls and then I heard a knock on our door and it was our neighbor. I didn't want to answer the door because I was wacthing gilmore girls but I thought it might be the owners because everyone is supposed go down and sign some paper about parking and Jese did but I haven't yet. So I answered the door and it was our neighbor. I didn't let him in though because I was by myself and he knew I was by myself so either he is a scary rapist who knew I was by myself and was trying to get in or he was just being nice. Anyways he wouldn't quit talking to me so I missed why Logan came back to America on gilmore girls, jerk! Oreo didn't like him she hissed and ran into the bedroom, it was funny! Well today I went to erberts & gerberts to apply there because there was an ad in the paper but after I applied I realized it was a different erberts & gerberts in some other town but I don't know which one because it didn't say. Well that is about all I know so bye!!

I'm like a betty crocker/rachael ray combo!!!

Hello! This is my chocolate cake I made from scratch, frosting and everything! It is delish! I am pretty much a betty crocker/rachael ray combo!! I better not continue to make cakes though because Jese and I eat a little too much! I also made homemade chicken noodle soup and homemade mac and cheese this week! I am going to make another cake to bring grandma's on sunday and I think I am going to make some lemonaid shorbet for on the side, that is really good too I made that last weekend for dad and Jese! I think I am going to drop out of WSU and go to culaniry school, that would be sweet! I think I would gain lots of weight though so maybe I won't do that, plus I am finally going to be done with my math classes after this semster and since I accompilshed that I am going to finish at WSU because those classes pretty much sucked balls! Last night Jese shut Pizza's paw in a bar in our comfy chair, she bite him and he didn't stop bleeding for awhile, but I think he deserved she was howling in pain when her paw got shut in. Poor poor kitty! Right now I am writting a paper on the Gallaudet protest for my ASL class, then I have to study for my accounting test that is tomorrow and then I have to do some math homework, and then I have to do an assignment for econ, I am not looking forward to that! On saturday Jese and I are going to Jenny Willie's wedding and then on sunday I am going to grandma b's to get some christmas stuff! I am soooo excited for christmas even though I have no money to get anybody anything, but that is okay everyone has at least one poor christmas!! well I best be getting back to my paper!

Hello!! Sorry I know its been awhile!! Well on Wednesday night last week I went home with Oreo. She had to make a trip to the vet on thursday morning to be spayded and declawed! Well on thursday I got a call from linda saying that Oreo was a boy but I don't care I am still calling her a girl, she doesn't have balls now anyways!! Amy and I went to northfield to bring mother a dounght and then we went up to mall of america with cassie (and mother came too) We went there to look for a wedding dress and you would think that since it is the largest mall in america it would have a wedding store but no we went all that way and nothing! that's okay though we still had fun! On friday Jese came to faribo, it took him like 3 1/2 hours because of the snow!! I'm glad it wasn't me driving!! We made a snowman in all of the snow, I would have taken a picture but I forgot my camera! We also went sledding down the HUGE hill in our yard!! On saturday a bunch of people came over and cut up some of the deer, I accidentaly forgot to go out in the garage to help, opps!! Then after that was done dad and i went to amys to help paint, I got shut in the freezing cold basement so I could prime the cupboard doors, it was very cold! Then on Sunday Jese went home right away in the morning and after I finished all of my laundry (which we hadn't done for 3 weeks!) I left! Yesterday I made a ham that father bought for me, it was really good! I also made garlic mashed potatoes (well jese made them) they were out of a box. I was going to make twiced baked potatoes but since I had class untill 5 I did not feel like it so I didn't! Today I am making homemade chicken noodles soup, it is smelling really good! I am also going to make some cookie!! Well that is about all I know!

My Stand Has Finally Failed Me

Hello! Well this year I did not get a deer :( I wish I did but oh well! This is only the second year since I shot my first deer I didn't get one. Last time I didn't get one was when I had mono and I only hunted for half a day. I did see one deer on the stand but it saw me and ran away. Jese and I chased one up when we were walking in to our stands on Sunday. Jese didn't see anything. But I still had fun so it is okay. It was really full in the cabin, there were 24 people staying in it, I slept on Jese's old twin size sleep number mattress on the floor and he slept on all of the couch cushions. We were the only ones not sleeping with the same sex, besides the three people sleeping by themselves so I decided that it was Brokeback Deer Camp!

Today when I was taking a bath Pizza decided that she wanted to also! It was very funny because she fell in the water and didn't even throw a fit!! Her legs are super skinny!!

Christa Wadekamper

Come on down!!!

Well I have decided that since my beloved bob barker is retiring I have to go see him before he leaves the show! So if someone will please buy me tickets to LA then I can go!! The tickets are free to go see him and if I win money I will pay you back for the plane tickets!!!

"Whack 'em, stack 'em and pack 'em." -Ted Nugant

Hello again! Well it is almost that time again, this weekend I will be sitting out on a deer stand freezing my butt off! I will be wondering why oh why do I think it is fun to freeze to death, and then it will happen. My heart will start pounding, my hands will get sweaty, I'll be shaking all over, and then there is the shot. I pull up my gun and I'm steady as a rock, BANG! Down falls the 30-point buck that laughed and beat up my fathers buck!! All of a sudden I start shaking all over again, only worse now, I pick up my phone and call dad and let him know I shot just a little one! Then I will wait on my stand for about 15 minutes waiting to see if he will get up again because I don't want him to stab me with one of his monstorus antlers. Finally, its been 15 minutes and he hasn't even twitched. I slowly get off my stand, go get Jese so he can take a picture. And then the blood fest really begins, I have to clean out his insides! Finally about 30 minutes later I manage to finish that! I clean up my hands with the freashly fallen snow, Jese and I both make our way back to our stands. And then I am sitting there, once again freezing my butt off and wondering why oh why do I like sitting outside in the 10 degree weather, and then I will look down at my 30-point buck and remeber, oh yeah, thats why! Once it is dark out I will collect my money for the first deer and I will gladly do the dishes!

Happy Halloween! Well today I got a birthday present from sister amy, it was a racheal ray cookbook! I am pretty pumped to make a meal from it! Tonight when I got home from class I made meatballs and gravy and noodles and mashed potatoes! The mashed potatoes were supper good! I got my accounting test back, a B is 86% and I got 84.5%, I only needed one more point for a B :( I also got my applied calc test back, I didn't do so good on that one but that is okay because I still have 75% in the class! I have to go to walmart this week and buy boots for deer hunting because last year I used a pair of fathers and they were huge on me so my feet froze, I didn't like that very much! Jese and I are leaving around 11:30 on Friday to go up north deer hunting, I am excited!!! Well that is all for now!!

"His family is loaded, they have a satillite dish!" -Pacey, from Dawson's Creek

Hello! Well this weekend I didn't have to sit at home all by myself but I did actually have to get up off of the couch! Well on Saturday we sat around and watched that 70s show and Dawson's Creek. Then we switched my hermit crab cage and Jese's fish tank around so now his fish have more room and my desk isn't as crowded because the hermit crab is in a smaller cage! Then we went to Petsmart and got Jese a couple more fish for his bigger fish tank! We also got Pizza and Oreo a new toy!!! Then saturday night we walked to Dariy Queen and got some blizzards and dilly bars, it was very cold walking back! I also applied at Target but they said that they were only hiring when I am at classes, after deer hunting I am going to apply at Walmart because I only have a few more months of rent left! Today I made french toast for breakfest and then Jese did some homework, but I did mine on friday so I didn't have any to do! We went to Saw III this afternoon, it was pretty good, but the second one was better. We also went grocery shopping but we didn't get very much because I was paying! Right now I am watching 7th Heaven and Jese is playing a game on xbox! Oh yeah, last night I made some bear steak and it was good! Well I don't really don't know anything else! Bye!!

Jese's Hair

Here is a picture of Jese's hair!!

"Even on the highest throne in the world, we are still sitting on our ass." -Michel de Montaigne

Hello! Well today I had a test in accounting. I know I messed up one question but other than that one I think I did pretty good! My nose has been so runny, I think I am getting a cold :( I took some tyonal cold yesterday and today and that helped but now I am out because that is all I had! This morning I was sleeping so good, I did not want to get up at all but I had to. In case everyone wanted to know, the fedreal reserve had a meeting on wednesday and they have decided to keep its target for the federal funds rate at 5 1/4 percent, this means that they are keeping the amount of money in the economy the same! I learned that in macroecon the other day! I really don't know anything but I thought I would update this because nobody else is so all of the die-hard readers needed something to read!! Today I am wearing a hat and I have learned why I don't like them, they cut off lots of your viewing area. Oh well! Well that is all for now, maybe later I will try to put a picture of Jese's hair on again!!!

Hello! I have been trying to put a picture on but it won't work. Jese got his hair cut the other day finally so now it doesn't stick out from the front of his hat! It is a bit short but it still looks good. That is what I was going to put a picture up of but oh well!! Nothing has really happened the last few days. My nose is really stuffy and I don't like it. Today I didn't want to get up untill 10 but I got up at 9:20 because my kittens missed me!! This weekend Jese and I are going to go see Man Of the Year with Robin Williams, I think it looks pretty good!! Well that is about all I know!!

Hello!! Well this weekend Jese went to Faribault again to work with my father. I stayed here because I had nothing to do at home!! Mom and Amy came on Saturday because it was my birthday. We went out to eat at Jefferson's and then we went dress shopping! After that we went to target and wal mart and I used some of my birthday money to buy monopoly. We went back to the apt. and played it, I lost :( jerks don't they know they were supposed to let me win on my birthday!! I made them $0.99 pizza for supper, it was REALLY good!! I really didn't do anything else this weekend. Jese got home last night around 10:00, he was tired. Oh yes yesterday I bought $9 curtins for in the living room so my snoppy neighbors can't look in but they were super ugly and huge so I am returning them!! Well that is all!!

Hello! Well this weekend I was super busy. On Friday I went to waseca and my mother made amy and i lunch and then we went wedding dress shopping. After that we went back to waseca and had cupcakes and shrimp alfrado. On saturday jese, amy, dad and i all went pumpkin picking! Jese and I carved some as you could see from the pictures from the other day, by the way I won, I did the one with the ghost! Also that night father made steak and shrimp, it was super good! My dad gave me a knife set for my birthday and they are really sweet!! On sunday I went to grandma b.'s to celebrate all of the october birthdays, then I drove home around 5:30. Jese went down to Iowa for a family reunion so he didn't get home until 8:00. Yesterday I had a midterm in my macroecon class and I got a B!! I was happy with that! Last night when Jese got done with work we went grocery shopping, it was a bit more expensive then normal because we haven't gone in at least 3 weeks so we didn't have anything left!! Well that is all I know for know!!

Pumpkin contest!!

Hello everyone!! Jese and I carved pumpkins this weekend and we are having a contest. The winner get $1 from the loser!! We each did a pumpkin face and a shape! Tell me if you like the two with the ghost or the two with the cat!
I will write more about the weekend later but I am tired now so I am going to bed!!

Finally, they get along!!

Okay so Pizza pretty much hates Oreo and me now. She won't leave Oreo alone and she scratched me all up with her back claws. Hopefully they get along this weekend when we are gone or we will have a dead kitty on our hands.

A New Addition to our little family!!

Hello! Well today on my way home from the cities I stopped at a farm in northfield and got a kitty!! Her name is Oreo! Pizza doesn't like her very much yet but she will!

Pizza is getting so big, I wish she were a little kitty again!
Hello! Well this weekend was not very exciting. Jese went to Faribo to work with my father again while I stayed here. I made some no-roll sugar cookies, they turned out really good. However, on the first batch I put in the oven I accidentaly had the broiler on instead of the oven so they took a really long time to get done but they still taste good. Today I am making chicken noodle soup, it is almost done! I am excited to eat it! This weekend there was nothing on tv so it was supper boring sitting here by myself. On tuesday I have to drive to owatonna and meet my mother there and then go up the st. paul to go to a thyroid specialist because mine is hyper-active so I have to get that fixed. I decided that really I should just live with it because it helps me keep the weight off! j/k, I will get it fixed. Although I may have to start eating better, that sucks. I hope I don't have to though because that would be hard to change how I eat after eating like I do for 20 years! On Friday we have no school so we are going home. I am going to go to the photographers for my wedding with mother and then go look at wedding dresses maybe! Then I am going to have a birthday supper with her! On saturday if I can find someone to go with me I have to go to MSAD's basketball game for a paper in my ASL class but if I can't find anyone I will just write it on something else. Then that night I am having a birthday supper with my father, we are having steak and shrimp, yum I am supper excited to eat that! On Sunday I am going to my Grandparents house to have the traditional birthday lunch/supper with them. We aren't doing it on mine and Grandpa's birthday this year because I am not coming home for my birthday. Well that is my plan of action for now! Bye

Sad :(

Hello. I am sad today. Jese was going to get me a kitten for my birthday because Pizza gets lonely when we are gone and I wanted another one. So last night we went to the Winona Humane Society and they told us that we couldn't get one because we weren't 21. I think that is pretty gay but I guess since I am not 21 I must not be stable enough to take care of a cat. So then we drove all the way to onalaska to the humane society there and didn't find any kittens I liked so we went to look at the ones the humane society had at Petsmart and found one. Today however, I found out I couldn't get it because the called the vet and found out that Pizza didn't have her rabies shot. So now I can't get a kitten because there are no other places around here besides Rochester and they have weird hours and so we will never be able to make it there. So I guess I will have to think of something else for my birthday and Pizza will have to stay lonely.

Hello! Yesterday I found out my grade that I got on my applied calculus test. I got a C!! I was very happy, last year I never got a C. It wasn't even hardly a C, it was a 75%, maybe 76% because she might give me one more point! Now I have 79% in the class, which is almost a B!!!! Last night I made home made pizza. It was very good but I spilled pizza sauce on my newly washed pants and shirt, opps! My back hurts right now so I am watching Ellen. It was very hot out yesterday and I didn't like it, I wish it was cold again. Well I really don't know anything so bye!

1 quiz down, 1 quiz and 1 test to go!

Hello! Don't worry I only have 1 quiz and 1 test left to go today! This morning I got up and took a shower and then I checked my email and found out that my first class was cancled. So then Pizza and I curled up on my chair and watched Ellen, it was pretty good! I like her show! My first quiz today was in macroeconomics, I think I did pretty good, I got 5 points for sure because he gives us 5 points just for taking the quiz! Next I have a quiz in ASL, I am pretty sure I will get 100% on it, I am not worried abou it at all. This afternoon I have a test in Applied Calculus, I am not excited for that, but I should do okay. I talked to someone who took it already and they said it wasn't too bad, hopefully they aren't way smarter than me! Well I really don't know anything else so bye!

Hello! I am pretty sure my apartment is haunted. Last night when I got off the couch to go to bed I went into the kitchen and there on the floor was a picture of an old women, in black and white. It was cut all around her face so that is all there was. You know those scary old pictures where the people don't smile and they look really pissed, well that is how she looked. I think Pizza found it somewhere in the apartment because it looked like she chewed on it. I threw it away because she looked scary and I didn't want to look at her! Also last night and this morning, Jese and I watched V for Vendetta, it was pretty good. We didn't finish it last night because the DVD player wasn't working right and it started to skip so we stopped it and finished it today during our lunch break! It is super cold out today and it just started to rain out. I wish it would wait to rain until I get back home, I am still on campus right now waiting for my next class to start. Well I really don't know anything else so bye!

Hello!! Well I just got done with my first accounting test. There were 2 essay questions and on the study guide there were about 20 he was going to pick from and of course the two I didn't want to get, I got! But overall I think I did pretty good. I just looked at the answers for the essay questions in my notes and I think he will give me some credit for each one! I think I got a few true/false questions wrong because those can just be confusing sometimes! The working out problems I did right I think though so that is good because those are worth like 60 points and the whole test is 100 points! Some guy next to me didn't have a calculater so I let him use my $5 one that I always have with me for cases like that, he is still taking the test though so I told him to give to me on friday, hope I get it back! Yesterday I did about half of my math homework, it took me 2 1/2 hours to do about 40 problems! I am going to do the rest on tuesday and thursday and turn them in on friday before my test! On saturday Jese and I went to his cousins football game in wisconsin, he is ten so it was only a half an hour game. The game was tied 2-2 but they didn't do an overtime. There was one kid that was about 1 1/2 feet taller then everyone else so they would hang on him and he would just keep going. I think he was slightly stupid because one time he stoped for no reason right before the goal line and didn't go in until he saw people telling him to keep going, then he got a goal, but he was on the other team so I didn't cheer for him, I laughed at him though! After the game we all went out to eat, I got a pizza burger but it wasn't that good so yesterday I made some of my own for jese and timmy l. They liked them but I didn't like the onion in them because my mother didn't tell me that she doesn't put them in, she uses onion powder instead, hooker! Yesterday Jese and I finished gilmore girls so now I can watch the new season on tuesday!! I am super excited!! Well that is about all I know so bye!!

Hello! Well yesterday I didn't have any classes so I worked on an assignment for macroecon that is worth 100 points, it is due on saturday and all I have to do for it now is answer 7 questions! It was very easy because the directions told us what to do for each step. Jese and I watched Gilmore Girls yesterday, we are now on the 3rd disk! We are cruising, I should be done by tuesday when the new season starts! Tomorrow Jese and I are going to Wisconsin with Rick and Jese's grandma to go see his cousin play football then we are going out to eat. On Sunday I have to do my Applied Calc. homework because I have been putting it off since last weekend! opps! I am excited because on Wednesday next week my first class of the day got cancled so I don't have to start until 11:00! Well that is about all I know!

Hello! Today I got the best mail ever, the sixth season of Gilmore Girls!!! I am so excited to watch it tonight! Last night I cut my finger while making Jese a bagel sandwich like bagel bros. used to have so now it is hard to type with a bandaid on my finger so that is all i am going to write for today!! Have a nice day everyone!

Hello! Not much happened this weekend. Jese went home on Friday to work with dad and so i was by myself the whole weekend. On friday I went to target and got two shirts that were only $6 each! Then I rearranged the living room because I didn't like how it was. Saturday I did some homework and cleaned the apartment. Yesterday I did some more homework and watched some tv! Jese got back around 4, he brought KFC back with him, yum-o man! Today I got my quiz back in macroeconomics that I took on Friday. I got a C on it which is pretty good considering I didn't study for it because I was in Faribault the night before! Today I took a quiz in Accounting, it was easy! I also had a quiz in ASL, it was fingerspelling I studied all night for it!!! I got all 5 words right of course! Tonight I am going to make some bear steak for Jese and I. He is at work right now untill 6:00 and I am waiting for my class to start, it doesn't start untill 3:30! Well that is all I know for now I am going to study for the quiz I have in this class (business statistics)

Not a good start...

Hello. Well this morning did not start out very good. To start out the day Pizza woke me up way early so then I could not fall asleep. I got up and took a shower, which I did not do yesterday so my hair was dirty, yuck. After that I dried my hair and it still looked dirty! So, I washed my hair again. After that Pizza decided to jump on the table and knocked over Jese's coffee he left there which spilled all over the tablecloth I just washed and I went to pick up the table cloth and the coffee then spilled off of that and all over the floor so now it is still sitting on the table soaked. After that I dried my hair again but the electricity always sucks in the bathroom and it kept going down to like nothing so I went in the kitchen and sat on the floor to dry it. By that time I didn't have time to have a bowl of ceral so I had a little thing of yogurt instead, hopefully that will stay with me until 1:00, which is my lunch break. Then I drove to campus, almost ran over a pedestrian because I didn't see her through the cars by the sidewalk, opps! Now I am in class and it is about to start, I got 18 out of 20 on my quiz though on monday so that's good!

Hello! Well not much happened this weekend. Jese and I went home so he could work with my father, he got sick yesterday because he was wet. Last night he was up all night :( poor little boy! We didn't get back to winona untill 8:39 last night and I still had homework to do online. I didn't get to it until this morning because last night I unpacked everything and watched an episode of sex and the city, it was good! I am very hungry right now and I don't even get to eat until 1:00. Jese has to work today until 6:00 at wal mart. On Saturday I went to Step Up with Amy and Mother, it was pretty good but not as good as take the lead. Well I really don't know any thing so bye!!

Bear Hunting

Hello! Well jese and i got up north around 10 pm on friday and we stayed up and talked for a little bit but went to bed pretty early. On saturday we got up early and went around and baited all of the baits for the day. Both of ours were hit. My dad saw a bear on jese's stand on friday but he didn't shot it because he left it for jese. We went out hunting at about 3:00. dad sat with me on my stand untill we heard jese shot at 4:00 and then he called so my dad went to his stand to help him out. He got a nice girl bear! I had to sit by myself the rest of the day and I was super bored. I played with my phone untill 7:15 then I decided that i should actually sit quietly in case a bear was going to come. 5 minutes later not one bear, but 4 bear came! two of them were brown and one was a little bitty cub, he was cute! and there was a big mommy black bear, i shot that one. I was so scared after that because the little black cub wouldn't go away and he was just sitting there crying and i felt really bad for him, i called my dad to come right away but he didn't get my message right away. after that i called my mother because i was trying to scare the cub away but it dind't work, it finally went away like 10 minutes later and then my dad came with jese in a few more minutes. we had to track it but i found it right away, dad was following the blood and i was just looking for black lumps on the ground! she was like 100 ft. away from where i shot her. mark l. got a bear on friday and my dad got a brown bear on sunday and i don't know if anyone got one last night or today! Jese and i spent the night at the resort on sunday night and then got up at 8:30 on monday and headed on home. Today i didn't have any classes so i have been searching for the key for our mail box that pizza lost, if we don't find it we have to pay $100 because that was the last key so they can't get another so a whole new mail box would have to be bought :( i hope we find it, i told jese if we don't he has to look through pizza's poop to see if she ate it! well thats it!!

Christa

Here is a photo of my bear, I will write all about it tomorrow, I don't feel like it right now!

Pizza likes to chase my fish!!

ahh...what is he saying!!! j/k!!

Another day bites the dust!

Hello again! Well I am about to start my last class of the day. I am pumped, and hour and a half of listening to a russian! Anyways, today my classes went pretty good. So far I only have homework in one class compared to having homework in all classes like monday! I am looking forword to my four day weekend! I am going to go up north with Jese to do some bear hunting, I hope I get one right away, or just get one! We are coming back on monday because he has class on tuesday but i don't so i will just do all of my homework then instead of doing it up north which i probably wouldn't do anyways! well my class starts in 4 minutes and i have to find all the stuff in need for it on my computer now so bye!

I FINISHED!!!!!

Hello! Well I got up this morning and I started to do homework at 10:00 and now it is 3:07 and I finally finished!! Yesterday I started classes, I think they will all be pretty good! I'm not sure how well I will do in ASL, yesterday we practiced our ABC's!! I think I am going to switch to a special ed. major so I can have easy classes!!! Anyways I didn't having any classes today so I took a page out of amy's book and didn't take a shower and I still have my p.j. pants on! I don't think I studied as much as her though! I have a russian for a teacher (no dad, i still don't know what he's rushin for!) It is kind of hard to understand him because I have never really heard a person with a russian accent before. I also have a chinese prof. but I can understand him easily, although he does have a pretty thick accent. Well I have to pee now so bye!!

Last Day of Freedom

Hello! Today is my last day of freedom :( I start classes tomorrow, I am excited to see what they are like though! Yesterday sister amy and mother came to visit me and Jese. I made them chicken fijtas, they were very good! I took them to the park so they could watch Pizza try to get into the water, it was funny! Today Neva and Terrance are coming over from Wis. because they were visiting Neva's sister so we are going to the boathouse with them! Jese helped the neighbor take out a couch today because they are moving to rochester in a few days. This morning someone lit off a firework at like 6:00 and then for the next hour there was a banging (jese said it sounded like a bad gun) and it was really annoying, town sucks!! Oh well, that is all I know for now!

Hello!

Hello everybody! I really don't know anything today but I thought I would update this anyways! It rained out really bad yesterday but as far as I can tell we didn't get any damage like everyone back at home did. Yesterday Jese made some spagettii, it was very good but he didn't cook the noodles all the way, opps! Tomorrow sister amy and mother are coming here to visit and I am making them lunch, that should be fun! Jese found out that he got a job at wal mart, he doesn't start for a week or two yet but that's okay. He is getting paid $7.45 and in 90 days he gets a .40 to .50 cent raise so that will be sweet! I think that is pretty good pay for wal mart! Right now he is taking a drug test, hope it comes back negative, not sure if it will though, we did go to a sweet party last night! (just kidding) Well I really don't know anything so that is all!

oh yes, i dyed my hair darker this morning!!

Just Call me Racheal Ray!

Hello! Well you can basically just start calling me racheal ray because I have become an expert cooker! Last night I made my first ever racheal ray meal. It was called 4 cheese pasta, it was yum-0! It made a ton though so I froze some for later and there are some leftovers in the fridge for tonight! Today I baked cookies. I put a few too many chocolate chips in it though, opps! This morning I checked my email and found out that I couldn't take one of my classes, I was not a happy kamper because there are no other classes to sign up for right now. I tried to get into the marketing class I have to take but the prof. said it was already full so I am taking ASL I to get my GPA up! Well I am going to go watch a league of their own now so bye!
