No Lunch Lady Job for me!

This is a really old picture but I don't have any new ones!

Well I had the interview to be a lunch lady today! The job was just 2 1/2 hrs a day so that wouldn't be good enough, so Target it is for me! Last night I got done at 9:00, it was BORING!! There were five of us training in, for two hours we watched a video, it was super boring! I work tonight from 5-10. I somehow got Christmas Eve off, yea! Tomorrow night I have to stay up late and work until midnight, holy moly!! Today Jese is starting his 10 hour shifts. It is also his last night of class. So far he has an A in one class, I am sure he will get an A in the class he has tonight also. I am watching Animal Cops right now, some people are just so mean! I don't know why I watch this show, it always disgusts me! Oh, a poor kitty is stuck on a two story roof :( Speaking of animals, last night Pizza, Oreo, and Kipper all decided to sleep on my side of the bed! Pizza secretly likes Kipper and was laying on top of him and he didn't like that so I had to separate them. Oreo decided to lay right next to my head all night! Silly animals think the bed is for them and not me! Okay well that is all for now!

Lunch Lady!

Hello! Well tonight I am supposed to start working at Target :( Cassie isn't sure if I will start tonight though because my background check wasn't done yesterday. I will start by the end of the week though. I got a call today for an interview at the New Prague High School to be a lunch lady! I am going there tomorrow at 10:45 to interview, that would be a sweet job! I just applied to the job yesterday! This morning Jese and I got up early so we could go up to Kohl's to get me some red shirts and work pants. I hate wearing red shirts, they don't look good on me! Okay well I don't really know anything exciting today!

Christa

Only 2 weeks until Christmas!!

Kipper was so small and cute when we got him!

Today is going to be a lazy day! I slept awful last night because I kept waking up with a headache :( I still have it too. I think it is because I am stuffy. I don't really know much today. I am just watching Weeds right now. Okay well I guess since I don't know anything I will let you continue on with your day!

Rick and Jese doing plumbing work!

Well it has happened, my life is over, I got a seasonal job at Target today. Starting Tuesday I have to work :( Cassie is going to be my boss!!! Today I spent the whole day up in Eden Prarie getting hired. So this is my last weekend of freedom! Starting next week Jese is changing his hours at work. He is now going to work 4 10 hour shifts instead of 3 12 hour shifts. It will work out better because he has to be up there on Wednesdays anyways for his work meeting and school so now he will just go to work after that. He will now go in at 10:45 pm and be done at 8:15 am, so he will have more time to sleep during the day and more time to be awake at home! Okay well I don't know much!

Poor Poor Kipper!

Poor Kipper can't go potty! He went outside and got stuck in the snow half way down the steps! Poor puppy! He was covered in snow! Our front door as snow going all the way on it! Good news! Last night Jese found where our Christmas Ghost of Alarms Past was hiding! We have a little weather station that Josie was playing with when she was here and she turn on the alarm! It sits right under the smoke alarm and so that is why we were confused and thought it was the smoke alarm! Last night it went off again and the smoke alarm didn't even have a battery in it, that is how Jese figured it out! Jese is going to call in to his work meeting and school today since we are in a blizzard warning until midnight! Yesterday I watched Juile & Julia and I loved it! It was a very good movie! Okay well I don't know anything else for today!

Never ending laundry!!

Liam making cookies!

Pizza and Kipper actually getting along long enough to sit next to each other!!

Hello! All day yesterday I did the laundry and I am still not done! I got way behind on the laundry that is why there is so much! I still had to wash our blankets from deer hunting and Jese's hunting clothes! Not to mention all of the regular clothes, sheets, and towels that were dirty! I probably only have 4 loads left, yea! I also worked on my Christmas cards all day yesterday. After talking with Amy I discovered that she doesn't send them out to all of our cousins which I always do. So I decided to save a little money and not send them out to them either unless I get one from them! So I ended up making to many Christmas cards but that is okay because I am sure I will mail a few more out later. I still need to get stamps but they are all addressed and ready to go! I am so excited, I finally get to see Julie & Julia because we are getting it from Netflix today!! I am going to watch it as soon as it comes! Okay well that is all for now!

Christa

Oh yes, the snow just keeps coming down harder and harder, yea!!!

Happy Birthday Josie, a few days early!!

Liam with Josie's cake

Yea Josie is 1!

Barbie cake I made super fast for Josie!

Hello today I was busy!! Since I was at Ben's wrestling meet yesterday I didn't get Josie's birthday cake made! So today I got up, did the dishes, took a shower, and went to the grocery store! Once I got back I got baking! I had a different plan for the cake but one part of the cake decided to be lame and not come out of the cake pan! Since it was such a thick cake it took FOREVER to back, I think it was almost in the oven for an hour! Then I had to wait for it to cool off before I could frost it! So during that time I colored 10 Christmas cards. I got the first coat of frosting on and had to wait another hour so that set up! At 2:30 Jese got up and helped me. He made the second batch of frosting to I could get the fondant colored and rolled out. My hands are now dyed pink!! I ended up getting the cake all done at 4:15, no time to spare! We had fun at the birthday party! It was nice to have tacos instead of sloppy joes :) Okay now we are watching Christmas Vacation so I must go, Jese has never seen it!!

"Fine I guess I will go be an adult now!" -Jese when he had to quit playing his video game

Jese was mean and made Pizza have reindeer antlers on today!

This morning Amy woke me up at 8:15 telling me to get up so she could come make cookies with me! So I forced myself to get out of bed because I had to do the dishes before she came. She ended up not getting here for a few hours though! Once she got here we went to the grocery store to get ingredients for cookies! We ate some lunch before we started the cookies. We ended up making snowball cookies, spritz cookies, and peanut butter blossom cookies! We have about 200 spritz cookies because Amy wanted to double the recipe!! That is okay though because you can eat lots of those because they are so small. I made some venison chops and cheesy veggies for supper, Jese got up just in time for it! After that Amy and the kids left. Now Jese is getting ready to go. Tomorrow I am going to watch Ben wrestle and make Josie's birthday cake! Have a nice night!

drip, drip!!

Hello! Well today Jese and Rick had to put on their plumbing hats!! That's right, we had a leak! It was just a very small, slow leak underneath our kitchen so not that big of a deal since Jese saw it right away! Since Rick was here teaching Jese how to do plumbing they also fixed the spouts going to the washer so now I don't have to turn them on and off everytime I use the washer!! They also leaked! So for now our house is leak free! While they did that I made thin mints, cleaned out my bow case, and started on my Christmas cards. So far I have stamped 10 cards, only 40 more to go!! I counted everyone I mail them out to and came up with 29, but then I realized I forgot to count Jese's family!! So I am just going to make 50, if that isn't enough then I guess a few people will get left out, I will make sure it is someone that doesn't send out cards anyways! Last year we probably got 10 cards!! Nobody sends them out anymore :( I think everyone is losing the Christmas spirit, jerks!! Yesterday Jese and I went to the pet store here just to check it out, they had hardly anything!! We did get Kipper a new toy though because he once again tore all of his apart!! Then we went to radio shack and got me a new phone charger since mine I had to fight with every night to get it to work!! It was very nice just plugging it in and having it work last night! After that we went to the grocery store and got kleenexes! Good thing we got them because today I got super stuffy again :( I am supposed to go make cookies tomorrow at Amy's house but if I am still stuffy tonight I probably won't because then I will just get her and the children sick who will then just get me sick AGAIN!! Okay well that is all for today!!

Christa

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!

Hello! I don't really know much today. I got Amy's cold so I haven't been up to much. On Sunday Jese and I put up all of our Christmas decorations!! Yesterday I felt awful so I just watched tv all day long! This morning I feel better, just a little stuffy. Good thing I am feeling better because I used my last Kleenex right when I got up!! Jese just got done working out. We are going to go to the store this afternoon to get me more Kleenexs! Okay I don't really know anything!

Christa

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!!
Christa
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!
Christa

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!

Christa

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
