Oh the weather outside is frightful...

Two of my families!!

Dear Mother Nature,

Christmas time is now here, in fact it is only 27 days away! Now that it is Christmas season I would like to put in my order for snow. Mother Nature, how am I supposed to sing The Weather Outside is Frightful if it is warm out and there is no snow! Now please don't go overboard on the snow Mother Nature. A good foot will do. Thank you Mother Nature!

Sincerely,

Christa

It is Christmas Season!!!

Hello!! I am sooo happy because it is offically Christmas season!! This morning I got up at 3:30 just so I could go all the way down to Waseca and go shopping with Mama and Amy! We went to Walmart and then we went to Mankato. I got lots of good deals! I am almost done with my Christmas shopping already!!! I just looked out the window and saw that the cats have it all smeared up from their noses!!! I will have to wash that! Anyways, I have Jese, Liam, Neva, and Rita all done already! I also got myself a few things, well really I just got myself two bras and 5 for $25 underware from Victoria's Secret plus I got a free bag! Plus Amy had a coupon so I got lots of money off and it ended up only being $64 for all of that, that is a very good deal since normally my bras cost $50 each because my boobs are so huge!!! I got Kipper a Christmas collar, it also came with a raindeer hat but he won't wear that! His collar has bells on it and now Oreo won't stop attacking him, it is pretty funny!! I comprimised with Jese, I wanted to get new sheets and he didn't want me to so I told him I would get the ones with snowboarders on them, so he let me get them :) Now I just have to figure out what to get for Papa, Terrance, Mama, and Rick and then I will pretty much be done!! I am not even very sleepy for not getting hardly any sleep last night! I went to bed at 9:30 but Kipper was super hyper because he was in his kennel all day so he wouldn't let me sleep so I ended up not falling asleep until 11:30 and then I woke up a few more times! Okay well I am going to go clean a little so our house is ready for Christmas decorations!!

Only 28 days until Christmas!!

Basement: Done...sort of!!

The tv should be on the dresser but it was still drying!!
Well here are the must anticipated pictures of what our basement now looks like! It is a BIG improvement!! Today I spent the entire day painting the circles on, those were mothers idea. I think it looks very nice and clean now! I really don't know too much. Jese doesn't have class tonight but he still isn't home. He has been driving for almost 2 hours now because he is stuck in traffic!! He is coming home from his work meeting. I am just waiting for my pie for the Wadekamper pie off and my supper to get done. Okay well the pie is almost there so I better go!

Good morning!

Hello! I am so happy :) Yesterday Rick and Mama came over so Jese could have some help putting in the floor in the basement! It looks very nice! Now we just need to paint it, and when I say we I mean Jese because I hate painting! I made them supper since they were here! I made citrus-marinated chicken, it was out of my mexican cookbook I got for our wedding that I have never used! It was pretty good, it would have been better if it was marinated longer but we didn't get it started soon enough. Right now Jese is going to go get his hair cut, he needs it bad!! We are going to go see New Moon today because Jese really wants to see it and today would be the only day he could, so I am going to suffer through watching it again :) Okay well I don't really know anything else. Bye,
Christa

Late Night!

Hello! Last night I didn't go to bed until 3:00 AM!!! I don't know how I made it! I went to go see New Moon, it was MUCH better than Twilight! You could tell they had much more money to make this one. The acting was much better also, which I was glad about because in Twilight that is what I liked the least! I was happy it followed the book pretty good. There were just a few changes here and there, but nothing too major. We ended up being in the monster theater, the screen was huge, I haven't been in that theater yet! It was packed, I think they had 3 different theaters showing the movie at Lakeville. The only bad part was I couldn't get comfortable during the whole movie!! I am not used to having it full in a theater, normally when I go I am one of the only ones there!! It was lots of fun though and it was worth staying up late for!
Today Amy woke me up at 8:30, but I didn't get up until 9:15! That is late for me, I normally get up by 8:30. I haven't done much yet, just some cleaning in the kitchen. I am going to go grocery shopping today and spend the last $30 on my turkey punch card so I can get my free turkey!! Kipper is just hanging outside today since it is nice out. Oreo ran outside on me just a little bit ago and now she is sitting at the door crying because she wants to go outside, baby!! Oh yes, that reminds me!! Last night Jese and I were watching TV and he asked what a noise was and I said it was just the TV. After a little while I muted the TV and we could still hear it! Turns out it was just Oreo sleeping behind the TV snoring, she is so loud!! After she woke up she went to the basement and dragged her favorite toy up and put it behind the TV with her!! I had Jese hold Kipper so I could play with her for a little bit because she was just so cute!! She wasn't so cute this morning however when she decided it was time for me to get up and kept sitting practically on my face!! Okay well I have things to do, have a nice day!

New Moon Tonight!

Hello! Tonight New Moon is coming out at midnight!! I am going with Alicia and Molly at Lakeville, Alicia bought our tickets a month ago!! I think it will be fun!

Today I got up super early!! I had to be in Waseca by 6:30 to watch the Hagre children! I was hoping to get a nap in before they woke up but they both woke up right away, jerks! They were easy to watch, Josie slept most of the day and I let Liam watch tv all day! Amy got up at 1:00 and I talked to her for awhile and then left! When I got home I took a shower and now I am going to play my new favorite Sims game!! Okay until next time,
Christa

36 days til Christmas!

Just Waiting!

Hello! I have pictures to put on here but I don't feel like getting my camera! Today I had an interview in Mankato at United Praire Bank for a receptionist job. I don't know if I will get it though. I hope I do because I think I would like it a lot. It isn't just answering phones and greeting people, there is more responsibility to it than that! They already interviewed 5 people and have lots of resumes to go through. Anyways back to what I have been doing...

On Sunday I was supposed to go to New Ulm to go to Alicia's shower but we didn't have enough gas for me to go there! So instead I had to go to Papa's and help cut up deer, it wasn't too bad though since it was warm out! Mama came and rescued me at noon though and brought me and Amy up to MOA, we also picked up Cassie along the way.

Yesterday Alicia and Brandon came over, they brought their puppy Cooper over too! We had chicken noodle soup for supper, it was yummy! After that we played Pictionary Man, pretty much I am the champion! We played three games, changing partners each time and I won every time!! The last game was close though, there was just a point between us!! After they left Kipper was super tired! He was even wore out today still!!! That is okay with me though :)

Today I just biked in the basement for a little bit and then went to my interview! It wasn't a very exciting day!

Oh yes, yesterday someone came and winterized the neighbors house that is for sale and they opened the curtains so we could look in! I made Jese come with me to look in all of the windows, he didn't want to look like a creeper, I told him to get over it!! I am glad we didn't bother looking at the house! The bedrooms are really small!! The whole place looked pretty junky. I think whoever buys it will get it pretty cheap because it needs a lot of work! All of the rooms seemed pretty small. Online it says that the upstairs is a den and downstairs has a family room, we couldn't see those though.

Okay well that is all for today!

What Have You Done Today To Make You Feel Proud?

Hello! Today Amy came up to bring me the exercise bike she had in her basement, and guess what I did!! Jese and I worked out/biked for an hour!! Well really I biked, he worked out, and then I lifted a little bit afterwords! I made Amy lunch when she came, I made chicken and veggies, it was yummy, minus the veggies!! Jese did the dishes so I am going to make him cookies tomorrow so I have something to do!! Yesterday I didn't do much. I was super stuffy so I took an allergy pill and after a few hours I was still really stuffy so I took some more, bad idea!! I lost all of my energy and ended up falling asleep a few times!! I even drank Pepsi and that didn't keep me awake!!! Today I am not stuffy at all so that is nice! Okay I don't really know anything, I just wanted to let everyone know that I biked today!

Lets Go Hunting!

Adam's Monster Deer
My third deer, a button buck

My first deer, a doe

Putting up stands on Friday, I look like an orange Marshmallow!

Hello! You don't get a picture of my second deer because I didn't take one because it was very pretty, but I will get back to that later!

On Thursday Jese was all packed up and ready to go up north and I decided that I had to come along, I had decided not to go earlier in the week. So I had packed all my stuff in 15 minutes, thankfully I didn't forget anything! We picked up Nick on our way and dropped Kipper off for Cassie to watch. We made it up north by 5:10! It was a quick trip up there! On Friday we went out and put up some stands all day long. On Saturday we got up bright and early to go hunting! Jese and I were the last ones out because our stands were the closest! By 8:00 I was bored out of my mind so I decided to start browsing the internet so I would stay awake! Well at 8:28 I looked up and there were two deer in front of me!! There was a doe and her fawn. So I decided to shoot the bigger of the two so I couldn't get made fun of again like I did for my first deer I shot!! She fell right down and I looked around and the other deer was still there!! Well I did the first bad shot of my life, I hit her but she didn't die! She went into some brush so I couldn't get another shoot at her. Papa told me to just wait to see if she died so I didn't spook her and make her run. So I sat and waited, and waited, by 10:00 I heard a noise, another deer came in! So what do I do, I shoot that one too! This one was a button buck, he also fell right down on the spot! So I talked to Papa and he told me to go down and check on the fawn, I went over there and she jumped up and ran! I sent Jese a text message to watch for her, sure enough she went right to him! He also couldn't get a shoot because she laid in some brush again! So he couldn't leave his stand to help me gut my other two deer so I had to try it on my own. It didn't go so good. After a long while I gave up!! Jese decided to come help me then! He walked right up to my fawn, she looked at him in defeat and he shoot her in the head, hence no picture! So he helped me gut three deer! We didn't see anything else that day. By 5:00 I was ready to go in so I started to walk to Jese and he was walking towards me carrying my fawn! He carried it back to the road over his shoulder!! We went back to camp to get a truck so we could get the other deer. Well since it was dark out we discovered we couldn't find our way back to my stand since there were no flags!! We got a little lost and decided to head back out and wait for Papa or Mark to help us! Well Mark was back first so he got us right out there and we got my other deer dragged in. After looking at the fawn when we got back we all decided that I had the first killing shoot, because it would have died, Jese just made it go faster! So I got the credit for it, but I say I got 2 1/2 deer and Jese got 1/2 a deer! Adam got a very nice 17 pointer on Saturday, Papa got a spike and doe, Tom got a buck, Sam got a spike, Ryan got a buck, and Shitto got a buck! So total we got 10 deer on opener! On Sunday I decided that I killed enough so I let Jese go on my stand. He didn't see anything :( Adam was the only one to get a deer that day, he got another nice buck, it was a 10 pointer! He had lots of dishes to do by himself though since he was the only one to get a deer! On Monday we got up at 6:00 and Nick, Jese, and myself all left by 7:00 to get back home!

Now I am busy doing laundry all day!! I have so much to do!! I think I am going to hang some of it on the neighbors clotheslines because they don't live there anymore!! Okay well that is all!

Oh yes, on Monday Adam got ANOTHER deer, this time it was a doe though, no more bucks for him!

Skipping Thanksgiving!

Hello! Amy told me I had to change my background. Well I couldn't find any Thanksgiving ones I liked so I decided to skip straight to my favorite holiday, Christmas!!! I wonder if Jese will mind if I put up the tree tonight :) I am watching a Christmas movie right now! I LOVE Christmas!
Yesterday Jese and I took Kipper for a long walk across town into the newer section. Then we made chocolate spritz cookies, I like normal ones much better. Then we made Baked Potato Soup, yum! Today we decided to head over to Papa's to get the rest of my junk out of his garage and to get our guns. Jese shot his once and said it was a good shot so he didn't have to do any more! Papa feed us brats so now I don't have to make supper. On Thursday we are going up north deer hunting so Jese has to work tonight so he could get Thursday off. It is going to be a long day for him tomorrow, he gets done with work at 10:00, has a work meeting at 3:00, and class at 6:00!! Okay well I have to watch my Christmas movie now!
Christa
