Okay I know what I really want to do now!

So this whole time I have been in college I didn't really think I wanted to go into accounting but I still continued with it. Last night I realized something. All my life I have always wanted to own some sort of business, weather it be an archery shop, bakery, or book store, I have always wanted to own some sort of place. And whenever I see someone on tv who owns a place, I always think, hmm that would be something I would like to do. So I have decided that it is good that I went to school for accounting/business admin. because then I know how to do my own accounting/taxes and I won't have to hire anyone to do that for me! So my grand plan is to become a CPA (crossing my fingers I pass the test!) and then once I am rich I will be able to open my own business!! On another note, Jese got a raise today ($0.25), he was supposed to get it in July so they are giving him back pay on it! That will be sweet! My goal for this week/weekend is to clean out our big closet. For our wedding we got some Christmas stuff and I have bought some at garage sales so not everything is put away, it is just all laying on the shleves taking up space so I want to take it all down and get it put in boxes so I can put our sheets on the shelves and then we an use the dresser they are all in right now! That would be sweet! I changed the sheets today and I put on FLANNEL sheets!! I decided that since it is fall now I could put them on!! I hope I don't die of a heat stroke tonight!! This morning when I was eating breakfast Oreo kept walking around the table in a circle crying and then she jumped on the chair next to me and tried to fit onto my lap, but there wasn't enough room. After I ate breakfast I brought her to the couch and she just wanted to be petted! She fell asleep on my while I checked all of my emails! After that she was much better and didn't cry anymore, poor poor kitty was lonely!! Okay well that is all for today!

so sleepy...

...holy moly, lately I have been so sleepy!! So far this week I have taken a few too many naps!! Yesterday I was reading my business law book and decided I would take a 15 minute nap with the kittens, it ended up being more like 45-60 minutes!! Needless to say I didn't get very much homework done after that! You would think that after my nap I would be well rested and stay up all night but oh no, I went to bed at 11:00 and this morning I didn't roll out of bed untill 8:45 because my first class was canceled!! I really need to start getting up earlier because I like to do homework in the morning and I need to quit taking naps!! The kittens just look so peaceful when they are napping so they make me take on too!! Last night I made my own creation for supper! Well I am sure someone else has made it, it just doesn't have any name, it was chicken, spaghetti sauce, penne noodles, and moz. cheese, it was yummy but Jese didn't eat any of it because he ate a sandwich at work, and I kept it warm for him and everything!! I cooked enough chicken so I could make chicken enchiladas and I only used half the spaghetti sauce so I can also make spaghetti!! I am so smart! So tonight we will have enchiladas and tomorow or saturday we will have spaghetti!! My class right now is super boring, it is my tax class, sometimes I want to take a nap in the class, I think the teacher wants to also because he is playing with his cell phone while he is talking to us! hmmm....what else is new...I guess I don't know anything else!

Finally...

...I got a good grade in Accounting!! I got a 24/29 on my test yesterday, that is a B!! I was super excited!! I think I am doing pretty good this semester, I normally can tell by now if I am going to have to drop a class (which I normally do) and I'm not going to this semster because I am doing pretty good in all of my classes! I am either getting smarter, or better at studying, or maybe both!! Yesterday I did my grocery shopping, now we aren't buying anything except for fresh food and milk for at least 30 days!! I saved $12 with coupons, not very much but I didn't have very many coupons either, so I was happy with it! I had to rearrange my cupboards to fit everything in!! I put up all of my Halloween decorations last night because other people have so then it was okay!! We had steak and corn for supper last night. Jese ate his a bit later though because he was doing his job in Stockton so I saved his in the oven for him! He got home around 8:30 and the job is going better than he thought so far! Since he doesn't have stilts he put a board on top of some pails and then just walks on that! It worked pretty good for him last night he said! Today he will get started earlier because our class this afternoon was cancelled! I am meeting a girl in the library at 1:30 because she wants help on some homework that is due next week, hopefully it doesn't take too long because I have other stuff I want to get done before tomorows classes. I am in class right now, it is boring!! This morning Oreo was driving me nuts!! Every morning when I get up she finds it necessary to attach herself to my leg and go meow, meow, meow, and I almost fall over every morning. Today she was even worse and I was trying to breath and so then I got crabby at her and then she left me alone once she realized I wasn't going to drop everything to pet her! Later I pet her though! Okay well I guess that is about it for now!

Stocking up...

Okay so I have decided that since prices of food keep going up, up, up, I am going to stock pile up on groceries so that way I don't have to keep paying more and more for the same things!! Today I filled up for gas, it only cost $3.44, that is $0.36 cheaper than I paid last tuesday!! When I went in to pay I just brought in my debit card and it said see ID on the back and the lady said oh I'm sure I know you good enough so I don't need to ask you to go out and get your ID, I thought that was really funny because I don't think I have ever gotten my gas there myself before, I always used to go to kwik trip because then I didn't have to go inside to pay, but now I don't go there anymore! It only cost a total of $43 to fill up my tank today!! Hopefully this time it lasts longer than a week! Today Jese is starting his dry wall job, once he finishes it we are putting all of the money into savings because that is the responsible and smart thing to do and we are really smart!! Right now I am in my tax class, it is pretty boring, plus there is a mower right outside the window so we can't really hear everything he is saying anyways, oh well!!

A fun weekend!!

Hello! Well this weekend I had lots of fun! Jese and I got to waseca on friday night around 9:30, then we went to bed shortly after that because we had to get up early on Saturday! We got up at 6:30 so I could go to garage sales and Jese went to work with my papa! I got lots of good holiday decorations!! After the garage sales Amy, Adam, Sammie, me, and babies went to the parade, I got lots of candy!! After that we went back to Amy's house where I took a nap! That night Alicia came over and we (Me, her, and Jese) went to Club 57 to watch Speakeasy play. It was lots of fun but I don't think Alicia was feeling so great on Sunday!! Then on Sunday we went back home and I was soooo sleepy from getting up early and staying up late so I took an hour nap, plus the nap I took on the ride home!! Oh yeah, I forgot to write that Amy made yummy cinnamin rolls on Saturday morning and scrambled eggs on Sunday morning for us!! Now I am all stuffed up from staying at Amy's house and I am not happy about it!! My throat is all scratchy and clogged up and so is my nose. Mama and me decided that I must be allergic to puppies, either that or I am allergic to Amy!! That would be funny! This morning I got up early to do some homework that is due tomorow so after my first class today I can study for my accounting test I have tomorow. I was supposed to study yesterday but since I fell asleep it didn't really happen! Okay well my class starts in ten minutes and I don't know anything else!
Bye,

What do you mean gas dropped $0.16 a gallon after I filled up!!!

Hello again! Well I put of filling up my car for about a week because I don't like to fill it up so I normally wait until Jese is with me so he will do it (I know I am lazy!) So finally after my gas light came on I decided it was time to fill up, don't worry I conviced Jese to come with me! At that time gas was a whopping $3.75 a gallon, that was on Tuesday. Well since then it has dropped all the way down to $3.59, I hate when that happens. I wish I could have crystal ball that told me the future so I could save $0.16 a gallon, that would have been about $2.00 off of what I paid, that is nuts! Stupid economy!! I am sure glad I found my job over a year ago so I wouldn't have to try to find one now, because I am pretty sure the only place I (or anyone else) would get hired at would be Walmart and I for one would not like to work there!! I read in the paper today that unemployment rates in Minnesota went up to 6.2%, that is higher than the national average, sucks for people who live here!! There were 3,100 jobs dropped in August. I just thought I would let you all know because some people (Jese) don't realize that we really are lucky to have our jobs! Last night Jese cooked for me, he is so nice, I told him it would have been nicer if he would have done it without me asking him to, but that is okay I will take what I can get! He cooked for about an hour, that is way longer than he normally does!! I am so glad it is the weekend! I work tonight but then it is my weekend off!! It was so nice this week having tuesday-thursday off, I feel way better!! I am not rushed in getting my homework done, I can do some house cleaning, it is way nicer! Next week I am going to try to help Jese with his drywall job though because it is a big job! Okay well I am in class so I guess I better pretend to listen!!

Jerks!!!!

Hola! We must have got robbers as new neighbors because in the past month we have had two netflix gone missing when we mail them. Our mailbox isn't large enough to put the movies in so everyone puts them on top of all of the mailboxes and then the mailman takes them, well on Monday I mailed one but for some reason the mailman didn't take it because it was still there at 7:30 at night and then on Tuesday morning when I went to school it was gone, so someone other than the mailman took it. Just a week or so ago the same thing happened. Yesterday I mailed a movie and Netflix got it this morning so that one wasn't stolen. Jerks, Jese is going to call the office today and complain to them that someone is stealing our mail, they probably won't care and they will tell him to call the post office and complain. From now on he is going to drop off the movies at the post office because he works right next to it so it isn't like he will have to go out of his way to mail the movies. I forgot to bring a snack with me today to school so I had to buy a nut roll for $1!!! I am still hungry so I will probably buy another snack before my class starts. Okay well I don't really know anything else, bye!

Just another update

Hello again! Today is my homework day! I had one class at 11:00 and now the rest of the day I have nothing because my other class was cancelled! So I have untill 7:00 to get all of my homework done for the rest of the week and for this weekend, I think I can do it! Tomorow I want to make either m&m cookies or rochester cookies, I haven't decided yet, but I will only make them if all of my homework is done! I have a test in Business Law II tomorow so I have to study lots and lots for it because I have a problem of half way through class I start coloring on my notes instead of taking notes! Yesterday after school I got some cleaning done and then I made supper and watched tv, it wasn't too exciting! On friday we are going back to Waseca, Jese is going to work with Papa on Saturday and I am going to city wide garage sales! I need to look for another dresser because Jese doesn't have enough room for all of his pants so they always end up on the closet floor and it is really starting to drive me nuts-o!! Then Saturday night we are going to go to Club 57 to watch a band play! Okay well I guess I wasted enough time now so I better get started on my homework now!
Christa
Oh yeah, I forgot to say, Jese got a call last night from some guy in Stockton that wants him to tape his basement, he meet him last year so he is going to go look at the job tonight or tomorow night, and hopefully start it next week!

I can see the light...

Yes!!! Yesterday I was looking at classes for next semester and I was like hmmm...I wonder how many classes I really have to take.. I found out after this semester I only have 30 credits left to get my 150!! So I can take 18 or 15 in the spring and 12 or 15 in the summer and FINALLY be DONE!!! I am so excited that I am almost done!! But first I have to concentrate on doing super good this semester so my grades are better! Right now Pizza is rolling around on the floor with her toy fish, it is her favorite toy! Now Oreo is coming in to attack, poor Pizza now she will probably quit playing...yep now she is getting ready to attack Oreo! Now she is attacking the floor, I think she is nuts!! Last night after Jese was done with work he went to Walmart to buy a video game that came out at midnight, I would call him a loser but at least he didn't reserve it like Nick did, hehe!! Actually they are both losers, the only thing worth reserving or staying up untill midnight for is Harry Potter books and those are all done with now so now there is nothing worth reserving or staying up until midnight!! Okay well I really should get ready for my classes now! Bye,
Christa

ACHOO!!

Hello! This morning I woke up at 5:00 and had a sneezing attack, I didn't like it. Anyways I don't really know much today. I worked all weekend, it was boring once the football game started yesterday we got super dead. Today I had class at 11 and now I am sitting in one right now, it is super boring. He asked the class if anyone wasn't voting and someone said he wasn't because he didn't think it mattered, dummy what is he doing in college!! I work in 20 minutes, my class gets done in 10 minutes! Well I guess since I don't know anything I won't suck up anymore of your time!

Just a picture

Oreo broke her toy so she was waiting for Jese to fix it for her, she thought he was taking to long!

I have no title for today

This is the new meal I made the other day, it is from the Rachael Ray magazine, it is pasta shells, crushed tomatoes, garlic, tuna, parsley, salt, and pepper. It was yummy and super easy and fast to make. I made it on wednesday, I also made fall sugar cookies, which are way good, and rice crispie bars for the girls at work because one of them kept asking me for them so I finally brought some for everyone yesterday because I am the best receptionist EVER! Today I think I might be on the edge of being crabby so if you feel like making me mad today would be the day to do it. I think it is the gloomy weather. I am just sleepy and unmotivated to do anything. My afternoon class was cancelled so I have to be at work at 2:30, however they don't know it was cancelled so I really could show up at 3:00 but I won't because I gave up my thursdays so I really should get as many hours as I can get in on the days I do work. I hope not working as much will help me with my grades. I really am trying to study more this semester but I am still having troubles studing for my accounting class which is the one I really do need to do good in. I had a test in it yesterday and I didn't do so good, hopefully the next one goes better. I am going to read the next chapter today and this weekend do the problems that we are going to go over in class next week so that way if I don't understand it I will know before the test :) I also had a test in my marketing class, I am mad because I got 79.55% on it grrrr!! The good news is we have 6 test, or is it 7...anyways she drops our worse one so if we are happy with our grade we don't have to take the final! Hopefully I do good on the rest of the tests so I don't have to take the final! I want to sleep for the next 48 hours, will someone please come down here and work for me this weekend! I know I am a baby! On monday Jese started work at 8:15 am and he got home at 11:00 pm from work!! He did have two hours of classes in that time though so it wasn't all work. I feel bad for him because he has a super long day, but at least he doesn't have to many classes! My other classes are going pretty good. I have two quizes next week, one in tax and one in business law II. I also have a test in business law II on thursday! Okay well I am going to start reading my accounting now before I have to leave for work. Have a nice weekend!

Christa

Just another day...

Hello! Well I feel much better today! I called in sick to work so I could rest and I am glad I did because today I am about 80% better! That was the first time I called in sick to work since I worked there!! Today I got to my first class to find out it was cancelled so I have been sitting here for about an hour now waiting for my next one to start, which doesn't start til 11:00!! But now I finished reading a chapter in Business Law II and now I am going to read one for my Intro to Tax class so at least I will have less to do tonight when I get home! I hope we don't have a quiz in that class today, that would suck balls, last week he told us we were going to have a quiz today or thursday but he wouldn't tell us which day, jerk! okay well I am going to start reading the next chapter for that class!
Christa

I don't feel good...

My throat is REALLY sore today and my nose is super runny. I wish I could curl up in bed and sleep all day, stupid school, stupid work!! I have to leave in 10 minutes to go to class. The pictures are of my cake I made yesterday for Andy's party, I wish I wouldn't have used the white sprinkles, I wasn't thinking and I forgot you wouldn't be able to see white stars apart from white sprinkles!! It tasted yummy though so that is good! I don't really know much, I have two test and one quiz this week, hopefully they go okay, one is in accounting, so I am not to excited for it and I haven't really studied for it yet so I will have to do that lots on Tuesday and Wednesday. Okay well that is all I know for now so hopefully you have a nice day and stay warm!!

Hehe...funny article in the WDN

I found this article funny so I thought I would share it!!
Duck Stamp error sends callers to sex line
.WASHINGTON (AP) — People calling a federal phone number to order duck stamps are instead greeted by a phone-sex line, due to a printing error the government says would be too expensive to correct.The carrier card for the duck stamp transposes two numbers, so instead of listing 1-800-782-6724, it lists 1-800-872-6724. The first number spells out 1-800-STAMP24, while the second number spells out 1-800-TRAMP24. People calling that second number are welcomed by “Intimate Connections” and enticed by a husky female voice to “talk only to the girls that turn you on,” for $1.99 a minute.Duck stamps, which cost $15 a piece, are required to hunt migratory waterfowl. The government uses nearly all the revenue to purchase waterfowl habitat for the National Wildlife Refuge System. In 2006-2007, the latest figures available, duck stamp purchases brought in nearly $22 million.This year’s stamps, which feature a pair of northern pintail ducks, went on sale July 1 and are good through June 30 of next year. The error will not be corrected until next year’s duck stamps.The Fish and Wildlife Service, which administers the program, printed about 3.5 million duck stamps attached to cards with the wrong number. An agency spokeswoman, Rachel Levin, said it would cost $300,000 to reprint them.“I don’t know that it would be worth it to do a reprint,” she said Thursday. “That’s a lot of money we can be using for wildlife conservation. With all of the needs for conservation, it doesn’t make sense to divert money away from an important cause.” For those people who like to dial by letter, the card does include the proper 1-800-STAMP24.“As best we know, it was a typographical error that was not caught,” Levin said, stressing that the stamps are still valid.The agency first learned of the mistake a few days ago, when a duck stamp owner informed them about the glitch. Levin said the agency has not received any complaints.The error, which was first reported Wednesday by Denver TV station KUSA, is limited to self-adhesive versions of the stamps. The moistened version, which is printed in much smaller numbers, does not come with a carrier card.The government uses a contractor, Ashton Potter Security Printers of Williamsville, N.Y., to print the duck stamps. Levin said she did not know whether the error was made by the government or by the company.Ashton Potter’s president and chief executive, Barry Switzer, said that the company was provided with the wrong telephone number.“We reproduced the wrong number correctly,” he said. “We regret this whole situation happened, but we did our job properly.”

Okay I will quickly update!!

Hello! I know it has been a super long time! I have been really busy! Last week was the first week of classes. On Wednesday I got done with my classes at 3 and did homework from 3-12:00, with a 2 hour break in the middle to watch some tv! On thrusday I had class from 9:30-3:30 then I worked 4-7:30, I was a little bit crabby because it was to busy at work for me to eat so I didn't eat anything all day long, I was very hungry! Then Friday I went to class, did some homework, and went to work. Then Saturday, Sunday, and Monday I worked. It was super busy so on Sunday I stayed late and on Monday I came in at noon, but then is died off so I left at 5:30 because I was tired and didn't really want to work! Yesterday I had classes all day and got home and decided to go grocery shopping, we had to get lots of stuff, we were out of everything!! Now we are stocked up so hopefully we won't have to go again for awhile! Today I have class at 11 and then one at 2, I just wrote a paper that is due in my last class! It isn't quite as long as it was supposed to be but that is okay I am sure he won't even read it! Okay well I am hungry and have to eat breakfast and do some more homework before my class starts so have a nice day!

sorry its been a long time...
