Me and Kipper snuggling last night while watching TV

Hello! I have not uploaded pictures from my phone in a long time so some of these pictures are pretty old! I don't know very much today. It is Jese's last day of work for the week, yeah!! On Sunday I went down to New Richland with Rick to help clean up Avis's house from the flood. We were there from about 8:30-5:30, my face got burned because I was outside pretty much the whole time. After we got back to Waseca I decided to eat with Mom and Rick. It was nice to have a nice sit down supper with people to talk to, I am used to eating by myself every night. Then I stayed and watched the first 15 minutes of Dexter, Rick and I were both falling asleep so Mom kicked me out and made Rick go to bed! On Monday my arms were super sore so I took a lazy day! Amy, Liam, and Josie came by for a short visit. Not much else has happened, so I guess that's all for today!

Will someone come move our stairs!!

Living Room rearranged

Living room rearranged

Hello! Today I got the rearranged bug. Problem is, we can't rearrange our living room very much because it is so retarded shaped because of the stairs. So I decided to take one of the couches out! We tried and tried to get it back into the study (where it first was) but we are retarded and just ended up tearing up some trim and the wall! So then I decided to put it in the room between the two bedrooms upstairs, once it was up there we discovered it was to long for that room, so now it is in the spare bedroom upstairs! The couch in the living room is super close to the tv but I don't care because I like the decorations by the windows, plus I want to put the Christmas tree in front of the window this year. 

This morning Jese and I went to a pumpkin patch to get corn stalks, the first one we went to had a big Pro Life poster in their yard so I did a U-turn and went to another patch on the other end of town! The lady there was super nice, because of the rain they were 2 days behind on opening! We were her first customers for the season! She also has a corn maze, it was a little wet for that though. 

Last night Pizza, Oreo, and Kipper all decided it would be fun to snuggle with me while I tried to sleep. It didn't go over so well with me however because I couldn't move at all!! I finally got the cats to leave around 7:00 this morning, they must have been cold!

Okay well I am going to take a short sitting break and then continue cleaning!

Stop Rain, Stop!!

Dear Mother Nature,

As much as I love rain, I do not love what it is doing to my basement! If you could please just dry your tears so my basement, and everyone else's could stop flooding that would be wonderful! Also while you are drying your tears could you please have a look at Facebook because it won't work!

Thanks much,

Christa W-R

Naughty Fish!

The fish laid eggs on our honeymoon rock!! (Jese took this rock from our campsite in Montana because he liked it)

An updated picture of our fish tank!

Throwback Blues

Oreo and Pizza about to cause trouble I am sure!

Hello! I have the Pepsi Throwback blues today. I know I said I was going to quit drinking pop a few weeks ago but guess what, that just didn't happen! Well yesterday was day 1 of no throwback for me, I got a monster headache last night. Today I haven't gotten one yet but I am super tired. Yesterday I picked lots of green peppers and froze them so I can use them in meals this winter. Tonight Glee starts!! I am so excited, I wish it was on at 9:00 though because biggest loser is on at the same time :( I will just have to watch biggest loser online I guess. I am supposed to make spaghetti for supper tonight but I think I will just eat popcorn instead. Okay that is all I have the energy to type up for today!

A Super Busy Weekend!!

Me and Jese at the street dance!

Hello! I am tired, I need a weekend from the weekend because we were so busy! On Thursday I went to Rochester with Dad to watch Ben run, he did very good. I am glad I never had to run there because the course was super hilly. Dad and I ran up one hill so that is my running for the year, I am ready for another half marathon now! On Friday Jese and I went up to Lakeville to go out to eat with Conor and Kathryn at Buffalo Wild Wings, it was yummy! Once we got home from that we walked downtown for Dozinky Days. I wanted to go for the street dance! It was crowded with people. It was very funny to see Main Street filled with people walking around with coolers filled with beer. The band played my kind of music but their singer sucked balls!! Jese said even I could sing better than her, and that's saying something! There were still lots of kids there dancing but we didn't want to stay late so we danced a little and got home by 10:00. On Saturday we got up at 5:40 and went down to Waseca. I went to garage sales with Amy while Jese helped Rick out some more with his house. The garage sales were very different this year, everyone just had clothes and not much else. I found lots of good deals, I got 2 pairs of pants (without any holes!) 1 skirt, a bunch of sweaters, a scarf, and a few other things! I even bought garbage bags for $0.25, who could pass that deal up even if they aren't biodegradable! Around noon Amy and I picked up Jese and meet Adam, Liam, and Josie in downtown Waseca for the parade. It was a long, slow, and cold parade! I used one of Liam's blankets to stay warm! Then Jese and I went home and did some super fast cleaning because the Hagre's were coming up for food from Dozinky Days and to play games! Amy and I got turkey legs, yummy! Amy left her leftovers here so Jese ate it today. They left around 8:45 and then Jese got a call from Tim L. asking if we wanted to go out! So I had 15 minutes to take a shower and get ready and then we went out around New Prague with Tim, Conor, and Kathryn. We got home around midnight.

Today I am finally doing laundry, I have been putting it off for about a week now so I have about 20 loads to do! I also had to go grocery shopping since we had no food except for the organic apples I bought at Waseca's farmers market yesterday.  Okay well it sounds like the washer is done so I have to go change the laundry!

Caught in the act!

Pizza is my naughty child and goes on the table when she thinks nobody is watching, or if she feels we have been ignoring her, I caught her in the act today though!

Hello! Today I wanted to garden so I decided that it would be a good day to dig up all of my potatoes!! It may have been a little early to do it but I didn't care! Jese helped me do it too, we got an ice cream bucket full, they could have been a little bit bigger but they will still be good! I also picked all of my onions, no idea what I will do with those! Jese picked all of the jalapeno peppers and I hung them up to dry, I like them hanging in my kitchen so I hope they take a long time to dry!! Right now the neighbors have someone tearing up their front yard, I wonder what they are going to do with it, mom thinks they might have septic problems, I will be a nosy neighbor and keep an eye on it! 

I think Jese must be psychic because yesterday he finally fixed the garage door so we can park in it again and today it just hailed out, perfect timing! Now it can hail all it wants since my car is in the garage where it belongs! On Thursday we are going to clean the garage and hang up the cupboards Mom and Rick gave us. Okay I think I am going to go make Rochester cookies now (yes I am making them again, they are so good!)

Christa

Oh yes, good news, this year I don't have to spend any of my birthday by myself, Jese will be home half the day and then Mom, Amy, Cassie and I are going to go see Richard Marx!!


oh yes again, my great deal of the day was 3 shirts from Victoria's Secret for only $1.97, what a good deal! I had another $10 birthday gift card and today they have free shipping!!

Oh oh!!

I think a stray cat smelled some crazy cat lady blood in my house tonight because one just attacked my house!! I was just watching the VMAs and heard a crash and hissing and it was a stray cat trying to get in the house through the window Pizza and Oreo were sitting in!! Between the three of them they managed to knock out the screen, thankfully I was in the room to prevent my cats from going out and that cat from coming in! Okay back to the VMAs!

Drive, Drive, Drive!!

Hello! Today Jese and I drove all over! First we stopped at dads to pick some pears because they were all ripe, then we went to Owatonna to stop at Fleet Farm to return some stuff and enter the anterless deer lottery. Then we went to Waseca and stopped at moms for a few minutes, then we went to the DMV, where I FINALLY changed my last name and we changed our address, then we went to Amy's, then El Tequila. Boy were we disappointed, the El Tequila in Waseca sucks balls!!! Our chips were overcooked and they didn't put the red sauce on our food that is normally on it, jerks! Then we stopped at Walmart for a notebook, socks, boxers (for Jese not me), and white t-shirts! Then we finally went home and now Jese just left for school! He starts his first class today, he wasn't very excited. Now I just sat down to drink some apple cider because my throat is sore, then I am going to work on my blanket (that I have been doing since we lived it Waterville!) and watch the movie The Killers! I am so excited, my new favorite show Vampire Diaries starts tonight!!

Christa


Oh yes, last night we discovered a new show that is all about my future, it is called Cat Ladies!

Cold Pizza!

I moved the blankets in hope that Pizza would stay out of them, she just snuggled up and made herself a nest instead!

Pizza must be really cold today!! I haven't had time to put the blankets away yet so Pizza is making them her new home!

All Snuggled Up!

Pizza found all the blankets I washed yesterday and made herself a bed, so much for them being clean!

Pizza and Oreo knocked down a bunch of stuff in the closet to make themselves a cozy bed!

Jese all ready to go bear hunting! He is wearing my cameo pants from when I was a kid, I am pretty sure they were dads! 

Hello! It is so cold in the house, I love it! Yesterday Pizza and Kipper wanted to snuggle with me all day but I wouldn't let them since I was busy doing laundry all day. When I sat on the floor to fold the laundry Oreo had to sit in my lap! Last night it was so windy out one of our screens fell out!! Thankfully no cats jumped out this time. This morning I made Hearty Pot Roast for supper, it is cooking in the crock pot right now. Then Jese and I made rochester cookies, they are yummy!! I am pretty sure I will eat them all today! Amy came up to get season 2 of true blood, she didn't stay very long though because she had to get ready for work. This afternoon I am going to make Jese a raspberry cheesecake, hopefully it is good. Okay well that's it for today.

Today is a great day!!

Hello! I am loving the weather today, it is perfect!! This morning Jese and I did some house chores. I have been doing laundry all day, so far I am at 6 loads, and I have lots more to do! I have so much because we had 2 trips up north and I didn't do laundry between them. I also have lots of towels, sheets, and blankets to wash. 

Yesterday I went down to Amy's for game day. I slaughtered her at cards!! I was super tired and left around 7. Then when I got home I was going to go right to bed but then I sat on the couch and didn't feel like getting back up. I finally went to bed at 10:00 but then I kept thinking about paying the bills so I got up and paid them all! I ended up going to bed around 11:00 instead! 

Tomorrow Jese and I are going to make rochester cookies, yummy! Maybe I will make them this afternoon instead so I can eat them all, but I will probably wait until tomorrow. 

I am drinking my last pepsi right now. Tomorrow starts my sugar detox, back to healthy all organic food again, well except for my rochester cookies because those don't count! Okay well that's it for today!

We're Home Again!

Hello! I am back from up north again, and once again I have no pictures!! Jese didn't get a bear, that is why I have no pictures. He sat on his stand all day every day! That left me all alone at the cabin with no vehicle and nobody to talk to. The weather wasn't very nice, it was rainy and cold so I had to stay inside. I basically just read the whole time, and mowed the grass. I even got sick of reading!! That is a first for me! I think I read about 2-3 books each day, good thing they were free ones! Okay well Jese and I are going to watch a movie now!

Christa

(Oh yes, I forgot, since Jese was bear hunting he saw deer instead! He did see one bear cub also)
