Why is it snowing out!!!

Hello!! Apprantly mother nature didn't hear my request for the snow to go away because it is snowing out, stupid snow! I don't really know anything. Today I didn't do much. I'm not as stuffy anymore but I keep getting a headache now, stupid cold! Today I wrote on all of my pictures for this year up untill October because I have to print the last two months off still, next I need to get them into a photo album. I am working on my blanket right now so have a nice night!

Go Away Cold Weather and Snow!!

Okay I know a few weeks ago I was saying how much I LOVE the snow, but now that Christmas is over it can go away and take the cold weather with it! I am ready for spring now!! Too bad it is only December (almost January!!) I am still sick, it has now been 11 days, yesterday I was feeling much better but now today I am all stuffed up again and I have a bad headache, yesterday I had a headache too and I took some drugs for it and I did this morning too but they don't seem to be working. Yesterday I worked untill 2:30, I was suposed to be there untill 3:00 but it was so dead and I was bored out of my mind so I left early! Jese worked this weekend even though he wasn't scheduled to, he picked up some hours because otherwise he would have none at all! After we were both done with work we went to the grocery store with a budget of $25, and we managed to stay under it by $0.50!! Really we would have been $0.05 over but I had a coupon so we went back under! After we go back I made chocolate chip cookies and bluberry muffins and then we both made supper together! We had fresh mozzarella sandwiches with dipping sauce, they were delish and easy to make! Oh no, I only have one more kleenex left in this box, that means I better finish this up so I can get more!! On Friday I told Jese to cancel the extra cable channels and when I came home from work I found out he completly cancelled the whole tv service!! Now we have no tv, but after thinking about it this weekend I decided that we can try no tv for two weeks because all of the shows we watch are online the day after they air so we can just hook our computer up to the tv and watch the same shows! Since we are doing that we decided to bump up netflix to two movies at a time and we are still saving money because just the regular channels cost $10 and the prices are all rising in Jan.!! Today my plan for the day is to take down all of the Christmas decorations, go to the bank, and maybe go to Target to return a picture frame I got for Christmas and buy groceries instead, or cat food if they need it!! Okay well I just used my last kleenex so have a great day!!

Happy Holidays!

Hello! Well Jese and I had a busy last few days! On Tuesday we went to Mother's for Christmas with her, on Wednesday we went to Rick's for Christmas with his family and then we went to Father's for Christmas with him. On Thursday we went to the Peltz family and then the Becker family! It was lots of fun but then we had to drive home and the roads were really bad, the wind was blowing across the roads. Then when we got home we discovered that the cats jumped on the fridge and opened the freezer which they haven't done since we moved here and they must have done it a few days ago because everything was thawed out and warm which means we have to throw it all out, at least the freezer will be clean! Then we also got bills in the mail, Amy and Cassie please send me the money you owe me asap! Last night I slept horriable because I got so stuffed up on the drive home I couldn't breath at all through my nose so I breathed through my mouth all night and now it feels like my tounge was burned or cut open! Okay well now I have to get ready to go to work. Have a great day!

Merry Christmas Eve Eve

Hello!! I did a bad thing the other day, I stayed up untill 6:00 AM and then got up at 9:30 AM, hehe!! That was yesterday morning! Last night I only stayed up untill 1:00! Pretty much I don't need any sleep because I am a vampire!!!! I am on the fourth book in the Twilight series, I started them on Friday! Yesterday I got my hair colored and I baked a cake and I packed all of our stuff for Christmas. Now I am at mothers house and she was whinning I haven't updated my blog so I am doing it now! Okay well that is all I know since all I do now is read read read!! Have a great Christmas!!

A Bad Bad Night...

...last night was horriable! I didn't fall asleep untill 4:30, no joke!!! It wouldn't have been so bad if I didn't have to get up at 7:00 to get ready for work but I did. Now I am partially to blame for staying up so late, I tried to fall asleep two different times before that but after laying there for about 45 minutes both times I gave up and read instead. The second time I just got right up and went into the living room and read untill 4 and then I went back to bed and then laid there for at least another half an hour before falling asleep!! So far I don't feel too tired but I look like hell warmed over! I really hope this blizzard gets here real fast so we aren't busy at work and I can come home early, although we have our work party tonight at 6:00 so I can't even get into my pj's and sleep as soon as I get home! Last night I came home from work at 5:00 because the owner was there and she told me as soon as we started to get slow I could go home because she would rather have me feel better for today and work instead of yesterday, well I don't feel much better but I will go anyways because we could use the money. Oh yea, I forgot, I ordered Jese to get another part time job or just a new job that is full time because yet again his hours were cut and since he isn't going to school untill Fall there is no reason he can't work 40 hours a week, plus he will get bored out of his mind after the first few weeks after I go back to school. Okay well I am going to eat my clemintine now bye!

achoo!!

Hello!! Well I am sick, great! Last night when I got home from work my nose started to get runny and my throat started to hurt. So I thought oh I want to sleep good so I took to sleeping pills, and guess what, they didn't work! I was up all night and there was snot running out my nose, gross!! I just got up a little bit ago from my two hour nap. Now I have to go to work, yea! I hope I feel better tomorrow since I have to work all day. Have fun in the snow for me today!

Christa

Brrrr....I'm cold!!

Hello! I don't know much today but I told Amy to update her blog and she told me to update mine so I am!! I am so cold!!! I got done with work a half an hour early today, woohoo!! Jese is looking up cheats on his computer right now for his video games, what a loser! He is nice though, today he went grocery shopping for me! Tomorrow morning he is going to do the laundry too! We are supposed to go up to the cities tomorrow for Neva's graduation but if the weather is bad we won't be able to and if that happens I am going to work because that is only 2 minutes away so I can make it there through bad weather! I'd rather do something than just sit around at home because that is what I did the last two days! Okay well obviously I don't know anything so have a great day!

Best semester yet!

Hello! I forgot to share my great news with everyone! This was my best semester yet! I got 2 A's, 4 B's, and 1 C!!! My GPA for the semester was 3.05, it also brought my cumulative GPA up to 2.67, so if I do that good again next semester my GPA might not be absolutely horrible!!
Today I am not doing much! I decided to have a movie day! So far I have only watched Mamma Mia, I am waiting for Jese to get home to watch the rest of the movies! It is snowing out! I love it, except for I have to move my car by the morning so the parking lot can be plowed! I am working every day this week except today, Jese doesn't know that yet, hopefully he won't be too mad! Two weeks ago when they fired the other receptionists they asked me what days I would be able to work so I wrote them a list of days that I would be avaiable. Well I have been waiting for them to tell me if they wanted me to work any of them but since they didn't I assumed they weren't going to but today I got asked to work today and thursday!! I said that I wouldn't work today though since they weren't nice enough to ask me last week, so instead I am working tomorrow and thursday in addition to already working friday, saturday and sunday, oh yeah, and monday! Okay well that is all for now!
Christa

Whew, what a busy weekend!

So I know I have told you what I have been up to but here is a recap of my weekend, Thursday-Dad and Rita were here, Friday-Mom, Neva, Terrance, Rick, and Avis were here, Jese's Graduation, Saturday-Alicia, Brandon, Liz, Jesse, Molly, Jessica, David, and Jenna were here, Sunday-went to waseca. It was very very busy, but lots of fun! We enjoyed our weekend very much even though it was busy, the food was great, the company was great, all-in-all everything was great! Tonight I finished my Christmas Cards, I cut some people out this year, at first I had about 50 cards to do but I decided that it was just going to cost to much so I went through my cards last year that I got and decided to mail cards just to our aunts/uncles, grandparents, and any cousins (or whoever) that sent us cards last year, otherwise we just have way to big of a family! I guess I am not completely done, I have to color two more cards and then I will be done! Total I will have 29 to mail out!

One of my first memories about learning manners goes all the way back to elementary school. I had a choir concert and a lady afterwards told me we did a good job and I said (not very nicely) yea, I know! After that my parents told me that it wasn't very polite to say that and I should have said thank you instead. What I have realized lately is not everyone has learned very good manners, whether it be not knowing when you shouldn't say certain things, lying and not admitting to it, being antisocial, rude, ruining other peoples things, or intentionally putting someone in a bad situation . I know I am not perfect and I am probably do some of these things too sometimes, but I try not to. These weekend seeing so many people in a short amount of time I got to see many of these things happen and it made me grateful that my parents taught me some manners. I am sorry if anyone reads this and is offended by me writing about these things but I just wanted to say, if you go visit someone or are at work, or even just in a store, think about others not just yourself. If you see someone struggling to open a door because their hands are full, help them out. If you have a large amount of groceries and the person behind just has one thing, let them go first, an extra minute in line won't kill you (and yes I have done this before), if someone invites you over and has favors for you, don't be greedy and take more than you are given. If someone invites you over don't just ignore the offer, respond to them. When you are watching a performance of some kind with a loved one, don't hang on them, it makes it hard for other people to see.
Maybe I am just picky, maybe I am to whinny, or maybe people are forgetting common courtesy and I am right. Either way before you do something you may latter regret, think about it and if you still think it is right, than do it but think about it first.
Once again, if anyone doesn't like that I spoke my opinion and find things in here they may have found themselves doing at one time, I am sorry but just think about it and maybe, just maybe you will see where I am coming from.

On another note, this is my fist week of break, yea!! No classes until Jan. 12th!! Have a great week!

Only 11 days till Christmas

Good Job Jese!!

Yea Jese graduated!!! Not only did he graduate, he did it with honors!! He was cum laude, he is soo smart!! The graduation cermemony was LOOOOOONG though, but that is okay it was worth it! On Thursday night Dad and Rita came down to take us out to eat to celebrate, we went across the river to the Hillside Fish House, it was really really good! We were there for four hours! We had lots of fun! Yesterday Neva, Terrance, Mom, Avis, and Rick all came down to go to the graduation with us. Afterwards we went back to the apartment for sloppy joes, they were good! Then everyone but Neva and Terrance left and we played games and opened christmas presents! Neva and I played a sweet new game, it was called doodle dice, I loved it!! Dad told us to get an air filter for the apartment so we got one for the living room and I can already tell the difference in the air, it is so much nicer! I didn't take my allergy pills since Wednesday morning and I have been fine untill this morning, but that is because now I need one in the bedroom, so if anyone still needs to get me something for Christmas that would be a good idea, hint hint! Jese made us pancakes for breakfast, they were yummy! Now I have to get ready for all of my friends for when they get here!! Have a great day!

I love the snow!!!

Hello! Well today I decided not to go to Faribo to see new baby, instead I am going to go Sunday afternoon after all of my friends leave. Today Jese and I got up bright and early and went to the library to study. Well really I did and he went to Hy Vee to get a turkey and ham for this weekend. We got back home around noon. Then we cleaned, cleaned, cleaned!! Well really we don't have too much cleaning done yet, we still have a lot to do. I will work on it tomorrow and Thursday. My Christmas cards are still not done, I know I said I was going to have them done but I don't, I am too busy! Tomorrow I have a test at 1:00 and I am meeting a girl at 12:15 to study a little bit more before it. I just got back from Target, I went to go get a present for the shower I am supposed to go to on Sunday but I am not going to make it to. Well okay I have to study some more, I would make supper but I can't because we have no milk so I have to wait for Jese to get home! Oh yeah, we got over 7" of snow last night!!

Christa

So much for sleeping in tomorrow!

Hello! Well today I had my final in tax, I didn't do so good, but the good news either did the rest of the class!! We don't know the grades for sure for sure yet because he hasn't gotten the tests back from Rochester but as of right now the high is 67.5 and I have 57.5/67.5 so I have 85% on the test. Just as long as the people from Rochester did as bad as the Winona people I have a good grade! My plans for tomorrow have changed all because of Amy! I was supposed to meet with a girl at 3 to study for our test on Wednesday but since Amy HAD to go into labor today I am going home tomorrow to see new baby! So I emailed the girl and told her I couldn't study unless we did it in the morning and she was fine with it, so now I have to get up early so I can study at 9 in the morning, grr!! Right now Pizza is sitting on my lap so we stay warm! I am supposed to be reading the last chapter for accounting but since pizza is sitting on the book I can't, darn!! I will do it tonight I guess! Okay well I guess that is all I know!

Getting Ready for Christmas!!

Hello!! Well otday I worked, what else is new!! We weren't busy though so I left half an hour early. The owner told me it was too bad I was leaving at the end of the summer because she would make me the manager, I think she was 85% serious about it! After work Jese and I went to the store and got train supplies, I am using them as party favors for when all of my friends come down on Saturday (Alicia you will just have to pretend you didn't read this!) I also made name tags for on the tables, they smell yummy!! Jese made spritz cookies today since I haven't had time to, they are really really good! He also made chicken enchiladas today for supper, that was yummy too!! He did all of the laundry today too so now I don't have to some time this week! I got pretty far on my Christmas cards today, I don't think I will be done with them tomorrow though because I have to study for my test that I have on Monday but I should have them all finished by Wednesday. We have so many presents under the tree it isn't even funny!! We just have two more get and then we are finished! I think we got enough this year! This week is going to be a busy one. On Monday I have my tax final and then I work, Tuesday at 11:00 I am meeting with 3 other people to take our accounting test together and then at 3:00 I am meeting with a girl to study for our test on Wednesday. On Wednesday I have my operations management final and then I work. On Thursday I will be cleaning like made, buying a turkey, ham, potatoes, etc. and I have to make sloppy joes for Friday. Also Dad and Rita are coming down Thursday and we are going out to eat. On Friday Jese graduates at 10:00 or 10:30, I don't remeber and then after that his family will come back to our place for lunch (sloppy joes) and either that night or the next morning we will do Christmas with Neva and Terrance. On Saturday around noon my friends are going to start coming down and I have to have the turkey ready to be ate at 3:00, I am thinking about buying it earlier and cooking it up on Thursday so that way it is ready to go on Saturday and I don't have to get up early and get it in the oven. Plus that way it will be all cut up and ready to go on Saturday and I won't have to do anything. Also on Saturday we are going to the comedy club in Rochester. On Sunday I will be cleaning lots and lots, and then it is my holiday break, woohoo!!! No more classes until the third week of January!! Okay well seeing as it is 11:30 at night I have to go to bed because I have to work tomorrow and I have to take a shower! Night!

Not much today

Hello! Well today wasn't too busy. I got up, got my paycheck, went to the store and the bank and then back home. I have been working on my christmas cards since 11:00, I have them all stamped on the front and now I am working on getting them all colored. I should hopefully have them done this weekend and in the mail next week. I haven't gotten any christmas cards yet, everyone must be a little behind on them! My back hurts from leaning forward while coloring all day. I still haven't gotten to baking my cookies. Hopefully I will get to them this weekend. Well I have to go change my pants now because I have to go to work. I work all weekend, but next week I don't work much because of Jese's graduation!! Today was his last day of classes for his college career, now on to grad school!! Have a great day, and if you have time go play in the snow for me!

Christa

A long day!

Hello! Yesterday I spent 8 hours on my tax return that was due today!! It felt like FOREVER!!! I ended up getting it about 98% right though so at 8:00 I gave up on it! So needless to say, I did not get my cookies made or my christmas cards, which I have to get a move on! Today is my last day of classes, yea!! Next week I only have two finals, one on monday, and one on wednesday!!! I am ready to be done with this semester, it has been a long one! Well really it went by fast but the classes were harder. I hope I get a C in tax, I don't know if I will though because we have no idea what any of our grades are because he doesn't grade them untill the end of the semester because he is lazy! I signed up for it again just in case I need to retake it. Okay well I have to listen right now in case my teacher says anything important!

Christa

Oh great!!

I killed another angel!! Yesterday her lights went out, now I have to get another one from a garage sale next summer! Today I took a test and got only 2 questions wrong! I have an 87.5% so I will be getting a B in that class, I am done with it now. That was the class I had to write a paper for and I waited until last minute to do it, I got 85% on it, good enough! Now I am working on my tax homework. He gave us all the answers so it isn't too difficult! Today I am going to make spritz cookies when Jese gets home!! Yummy!! Last night we got lots of snow!! The schools here opened two hours late so Jese didn't have to leave for work until 10:15 instead of 8:15! Oh don't worry my luck on ebay isn't getting any better, someone bid on one of my items that I wrote I only ship to the US in big bold letters and they are from germany, idiots, I don't know what is with these people!! Okay well that is all for today. Have a great day!

Christa

oh poop...

...dang it today didn't get better :( I still feel sick, Jese feels better though, but not completly better. I called in sick to work today but to make up for it I am working Tuesday (which I was going to do anyways) and Thursday and I might go in early on Friday since I have no classes. I think I am addicted to working!! Now I am sitting in my pj's on the couch watching tv and doing homework. Okay back to the homework.

Christa

oh oh!

Hello! Well today started out good because it was snowing out!! But after that it got worse! Me and Jese are both getting sick with the stomach flu, Jese's temp. is 99.9 right now, I didn't check mine. We watched tv all day long! I didn't get any homework done, oh oh, looks like a busy week for me! I just checked my emails and the person who bought all my dvd's on ebay still hasn't received them (I mailed them Nov. 20) and filed a disput against me, hopefully they get them and I don't have to refund their money, it is $53.10, that is a christmas present!!! I still have one person who hasn't paid me and if they don't within the next couple days I am going to relist the item. I am not having good luck with my ebay items lately!! My tummy hurts :( I am going to go to bed now. I hope tomorrow is better!

Christa

Yea, it's Christmas season!!!

Hello!! Today Jese and I got some good deals! We didn't get up until 6:30 but that was okay because nothing at Walmart was sold out when we got there. We got a Blu-ray player for only $128, two movies, a memory card for the camera (which I found finally this morning!) 28 tupperware for $7, flannel sheets, suitcases, and a few other things! I got Jese the rest of his presents so now I am done shopping for him!! We are almost done with our Christmas shopping already!! Okay well I don't know much right now so I am going to wrap Jese's presents!!

Christa

Happy Thanksgiving Eve!!

Hello!! I won't have my computer or internet to update tomorrow!! We are going to Faribo today as soon as Jese is done with work, so around 3:30 we will be leaving! Thanksgiving day is going to be a super busy one, in the morning Jese and I are going to Northfield to jog/walk the Turkey Trot, I can't get sweaty because I don't want to have to take a shower because it takes too long to dry my hair! Then for lunch we will be going to Grandma W.'s and for supper Grandma B.'s house! Then it will be back to Winona and on Friday morning we will do some shopping!! There are only a few things I want to get so far, but I haven't looked at all of the ads yet.Well seeing as it is so early I don't know anything yet because I just got up 30 minutes ago, so have a happy thanksgiving!!
Christa

Opps!!

Hello!! Well yesterday I decided to rearrange my living room so it is all ready for my christmas decorations. After I did that I thought well it is silly not to put up everything since it is all ready, so I did!! Now all of my Christmas decorations are up, except for some of the dept. 56 houses. Last night the other lady at work called me to see if I would work for her today because she was sick and I told her to call me back today if she was still sick and then I would tell her. This morning I called her and told her I wasn't going to work for her but she didn't answer so I left a message and then she called me later and told me she wasn't actually sick anymore, it was just personal issues because she is getting a divorce so she thought she was sick! That is why I didn't say yes last night because I knew she really wasn't sick. Loser! Today I am going to make peanut butter blossoms!! I didn't get to make cookies last night because I was so busy putting up christmas decorations!! Okay well that is all for today!
Christa

Isn't he handsome!!

Jese got all dolled up today so I took a picture of him!! He is sooo nice, yesterday I before I went to my work meeting I asked him to clean up the study and organize everything, and not only did he do that, he rearranged it for me!! It needed to be rearranged because we brought the desk out to the living room for my christmas houses to go on! I found out today that it is okay to put up your christmas decorations out already because normally we get 5 weeks before christmas after thanksgiving but every so often we only get 4!! Stupid calander! So pretty much last week is when I should have put up my christmas decorations!! I only work one day this week because since I worked for the other lady last week, she owes me some days so I got her to work for me today so I get all week off except for friday!!! It is going to be sweet! I only have one class today and two tomorow and that is it! I am so excited! I think I am going to make cookies today, yummy!! Okay well I have to go dry my hair and my computer is about to die!
Christa

woohoo!!

My ebay items are up to $55 and they don't end till Friday night!! That means we can buy one more christmas present!

Grrrrr

Hello!! So this morning when I left for school I looked to see if the other receptionist car was in the apartment parking lot (she lives at the same place as me) and it was. Well I am working for her again today because she supposedly in Rochester with her dad, who has no vehicle. So I just called her to see if she was back yet (she's been there since Tuesday night) and she told me that she was still in Rochester and wouldn't get back to later and then she had to pick up her kids!!! Well if that was true why was her truck in Winona!! Grrr!! I am not happy with her at all, I worked for her yesterday and when she asked me to work for her these two days she told me she would most likely be back in time to work today, and I am working part of Saturday because she can't work more than 4 hours! I wish they could fire her and hire someone who could work! Yes I know I complain because we need money for Christmas but this is the end of the semester and I don't like to do my homework until the last minute and so I don't really have time to work for her all the time! Plus at work they know that I don' t know how to say no to them when they ask me to work even if I don't want to be there so they always ask me! Okay well since I have to work for stupid hooker girl tonight I have to get going so I can continue writing my paper that is due tomorow at noon!

Christa

I have a problem!!

So pretty much I can't do my homework!! I have been sitting here trying to get started on my paper and the only thing I have done is pull up the website I need to get information off of!! I have lots to do but I have a problem where I don't do my homework until the last minutes, and guess what, it isn't the last minute yet! But here is the problem I am working today and tomorow so I won't have any time but now to get it done, gosh I hate homework!! Good thing there are only 9 days left of classes!!

Christa

I wish we had this much snow....

Hello all you internet junkies!! Today I only have one class, yea!! Good thing too because I have a lot of homework to get done before I go to work today! I have to write a paper (5 pg. max) and do my business law homework, which will double as studying for the test I have in that class tomorow! Brrr..I am cold, if I have to be cold there should at least be snow on the ground! So I was figuring out how many hours I will have next semester at work if they give me the schedule they were talking about (11 hours on Friday and every weekend but 1 every month) And I found out that by working just 3 days a week I will be working more hours than I am now by quite a bit because I would be there all day on Friday...if they have me work 11 hours on Friday I am going to tell them I am going to need a little bit of a break in the middle of the day for lunch, but they won't mind if I do that! Today I almost didn't make it to class because I decided to sleep in and then take a shower and then try to get my hair fixed all before I had to be here. I made it though! I even had 1 minute to spare before I left home! Then when I got to school and got out of my car the wind blew my hair everywhere! Hopefully it still looks okay, I can't see it seeing as I am in class! The girl next to me is reading a book right now instead of watching the video we are supposed to be watching! Good thing I am paying attention and not playing on the internet!! hehe! Who actually pays attention in classes anyways! Yesterday wasn't a very good only day off of work. I had class until 3:30!!! So I really didn't even get a day off! At least next week I will have three days off again, plus my whole weekend! I keep forgetting that on Sunday I have to be back to Winona by 4:00 because we have another work meeting! We are supposed to have it next weekend but the manager decided to have it this weekend instead because next weekend she has a 4 day weekend and didn't want to come in, jerk! Oh well, I have things I have to get done anyways since it is the end of the semester!! Next Tuesday I have two classes that are cancelled, if I feel like it I might go to the other two but we will see :) I might accidentally forget about them! Okay well I don't really know anything else!
Christa

It's almost Christmas time!!

Since it is almost Christmas time, I thought I would put up a picture of a couple reindeer!! Well I got permission to be in my last class I need to register for, I will be taking 18 credits, I think I said that before! On Thursday I have class from 8-9:20 and 12:30-8:00!! That is a lot of time in classes for one day!! The reason it is that long is because I wasn't able to register for all of my classes because they only let you register for 16 credits until Friday when everyone is done so one of my classes got all filled up, but I will hopefully get into another section since you need permission to be in the class! Yesterday at work they asked me to work next Wednesday because they are having a pot luck and they wanted me to bring some of my yummy desserts!! So I told them that I won't work that day but I will bring in some rice crispy bars because I am so nice! Today has been really boring, I have a test in my next class, hopefully I do good, it is the second to last test in that class!! Only 10 more days of classes, yeepee!! There are only 37 days left until Christmas!! Today is my only day off of work this week. I have a paper due on Friday I haven't started yet so I have to do that tonight since I won't have anyother time to do it. Oh I guess I will have some time tomorow because my Energy teacher has cancelled the rest of our classes because we have nothing left to do!! That was nice of him! My lips are super chapped and I forgot my chapstick today, I forgot it yesterday too :( My lips are crying!! I made $61 on ebay yesterday, I think I have a few more things I can put on there tonight, so now I have enough money for 2 christmas presents!! Okay well I don't know anything else I guess!
Christa

I just can't get enough!!

I had no picture for today so I took a picture of myself for you!! So yesterday I know I said that I wasn't going to work on Saturday but I changed my mind! I am going to work from 9-12:30, that way I still have plenty of time to get to Cassie's! I registered for my classes today, the jerks don't let you register for more than 16 credits so I didn't get into one of my classes but they offer it two other times I can take it so hopefully they still have seats open by the time I am able to register for more than 16 credits!! I will be taking a total of 18 credits, so one less than this semester! I don't really know much today. Jese is working on becoming full time at his job but he is also trying to get out of traking by the end of December because he is really sick of that part of his job! Oh, in case you were wondering why they needed me to work this weekend is because the other lady is only allowed to work 4 hours a day because her doctor said so and they think it is going to be busy because it is the saturday before thanksgiving so they wanted me there when she isn't. Okay well I don't know anything else so I am going to go eat some lunch!

Yum, chocolate cake!!

Hi!! Today I got done with work early because we weren't busy at all! They asked me if I would work part of this coming Saturday but I said no because that would make it 5 Saturday's in a row and we are going up to Cassie's that day! After I got home from work I decided to make a chocolate cake! It smells really yummy! I haven't tried it yet though because I didn't feel like making frosting so when Jese gets back to Winona he is going to run to the store and pick up some frosting so we can just put that on! Right now I am watching the Take the Lead, I love it! Speaking of movies, my DVD's on ebay got a bid today and Jese's shirt got another bid, yea!!! I wish I had more things to sell on ebay to make some more money for Christmas. We need to save lots of money to get enough for Christmas this year! This year we only have 7 Christmas's to go to instead of 8! Jese should be home in another hour or so! Then I can eat my yummy cake! I register for classes tomorow, I have to make sure I don't forget to, that would suck!!! I think I register at 12 or 12:30, I will double check tonight before I go to bed! I am going to have to go to bed with the squirt bottle tonight because the last few mornings Oreo has woke me up at 6:30 trying to get me up by meowing and scratching at the closet door, so tomorow morning when she does it I will squirt her untill she leaves me alone so I can sleep! This morning I was able to get right up out of bed because it was SNOWING out!! I was so excited, it snowed about half to the day today, I loved it! I wish it would have snowed enough to leave snow on the ground, that would have been amazing! Okay well I don't know anything else!

Obsessions run you life, I would rather run my own life

Hello again! Today was busy at work, well really it wasn't busy until 12:30, then we got swamped but I am such a good worker we were fine!! My feet are really sore now though from walking back and forth and back and forth!! After work was done I had to talk to the owner about when I am going to work next semester. My classes don't get done untill 4:30 or 4:50 every day except for friday so it is going to be hard for me to work there, so I will probably end up working all day Friday and every weekend, execpt one per month. Hopefully it won't suck too much!! I think they are going to let me know tomorow when they are going to have me work. Also they asked me if when I get done with school if I was going to stay there and look for another job or what I was going to do so I had to tell them that as soon as I was done with school I am out of the crappy town, I can't wait!! This was my 4th Saturday in a row I have worked!! I am ready for next week because it will be my weekend off! I hope it isn't busy tomorow so I can leave early, that would be really nice! Jese just left me to go back to Faribault so he can help cut up the deer tomorow, I hope he gets home early tomorow. Oh yes, this morning I woke up at 6:20 because Oreo decided it was necessary to meow and scratch at the closet door and then meow some more!! There are only 12 more days of classes and then a week of finals and that is it!! I am so excited to be done with this semester! I only have two more tests in Accounting, one on Tuesday and then the one during finals week and I am still at a B!!! Just think last semester I was at a F in the same class just a different teacher!! Last night I put 27 of our movies on ebay and another Hoyt shirt that Jese had. The shirt already has a bid on it and two people watching it but the movies aren't doing so good yet. Okay well I don't know anything else so see ya on the flip side!

Yea no school!!!

Hi!! Today I didn't have any classes!! It was sweet! Instead of classes I slept till 9:10, which I could have done anyways even if I had classes! Then I ate some oatmeal and watched the first half hour of the View and then took a much needed shower!! Then I did some cleaning, I swept, did the dishes, vaccumed, and pretended to make the bed :) I also got supper ready, I am making chicken with gravy in the slow cooker. It was supposed to be just chicken breast but I put a whole chicken in, hopefully it will still be good!! I figure it will just be like turkey with gravy! Today it is gloomy out, there is still no snow and no sun, no clouds, just grayness, how boring! It could at least be raining if it is going to be a gray day! I have to go to work at 3:00 so I have another 45 minutes of freedom!! I have to work this weekend, and next week my only day off is tuesday, good thing I have the next two weekends off!! There are only 14 days till I can put up my christmas decorations and only 41 days till Christmas!!! I am so excited!! I ate noodles with cheese for lunch today, it was leftover from supper last night, we had salmon patties and noodles with cheese! Okay well I guess I don't know anything else!

Where is my snow damn it!!

Hello again!! This morning I decided I wasn't going to get up untill it started snowing, then Jese made me get up. I wish I could have stayed in bed untill the snow came. I don't know why we just can't have snow on the ground, is it really that hard for mother nature to make the snow come!! I can't wait for thanksgiving because the day after I get to put up my christmas decorations!!! I love this time of year!! So yesterday I had two classes and then I meet with some people to do our tax homework, it took 2 1/2 hours!! I hope we did it right, I doubt we did though!! Today I have classes from 9:30-3:20 just like every thursday. After class I don't know what I am going to do. Oh yes, an update on the oven, yesterday we made a pizza and the oven wouldn't quit smoking, I think some butter or something must be on the burner because it looks clean, oh well eventually it will all burn off!! So I have decided that Jese and I should go on a cruise next year! That would be fun! I doubt we will be able to save enough money to go on one though!! Tomorow I don't have any classes!! That will be really nice! Both of them were cancelled!!! So alls I have to do is work at 3:00 tomorow and that is it!! It has been super dead at work so I am sure I will end up going home early again! Okay well I don't know anything else for today!

Are you sick, or are your allergies just bad??

Hello!! So on Monday a girl asked me if I was sick or if my allergies were bad and I said nope, I am feeling just fine and in my head I was thinking thanks for telling me I look like crap! Then yesterday she said the same thing!!! Then she was like oh are wearing less makeup or tired...so then I said nope but thanks for the compliment!!! So I guess I look like crap! On Sunday a different girl that drives me nuts was getting on my nerves so I was just ignoring her and then she said oh you shouldn't be crabby because it is going to make you ugly and then you husband will leave you for someone else!!! So not only do I already look like crap but Jese is going to leave me for someone else!! Man I love the people I work with, they are so nice to me!! Well everyone else is just those two were a little bit rude!! Right now I am in my class, I am wearing a hat and we aren't supposed to wear them in this class but she hasn't yelled at me yet, hahaha!! Today after my last class I am meeting with someone to work on our tax homework that is due tomorow, we have to do a tax return, hopefully it doesn't take too long! Yesterday Jese was going to make some chicken and when it was baking the glass baking dish it was in exploded in the oven!! It was a mess, but Jese cleaned it all up and now the oven is nice, clean, and glass free!! We ended up having hamburger helper instead, the chicken would have been better! Well I don't know anything else today, have a wonderful day!

Get off my blanket!!!

Pizza won't ever get off my kitty blanket, jerk!! Yesterday I had to take her off of it and then I put it on me and then she went on me so she could be on the blanket again!!! She loves it! So the other receptionist at work is leaving her husband and so I was going to work for her on thursday so she could start moving her stuff out but last night she called me and said that things were getting ugly there and wanted me to work today for her instead so she could get out sooner so now I am working tonight. I am also working this weekend so she can finish moving, it only took me one day to move and it is taking her a week, but that is okay! She will be working for me next weekend then so I will have two weekends off in a row, which will be nice since this is going to be the 4th weekend I work!! Well I guess I don't really know much else. Have a great day!!

Christa

A Day off!!

Yea, we don't have school today!!! To bad I have to work :( So pretty much Pizza hates Jese now and won't leave me alone. Last night she decided she had to sleep right next to me and use up my whole side of the bed and then of course Oreo had to join her! Right now she is sitting on my lap. Anytime I sit on the couch she some how hears me even if she is in another room and comes running over to sit on me. It makes being on my computer very hard!! But at least she likes me again! So far today I haven't done much. I cleaned the kitchen and did the dishes, and that is about it! Next I am going to make rochester cookies and cook the tenderloins from Jese's deer that he shot yesterday!! We are going to have them for lunch! Last night we went and got our new tv after we ate supper. We ended up getting a 42" Philips, the ratings for it online were really good, only one person didn't give it 5 stars and that was just because the wall mount is harder to get because it is in the metric system so you have to get the one specially for the tv. Good then we aren't putting ours on the wall!! We ended up saving $100 by getting this one instead of the Sony and you could only tell the differences in the color a little bit other than that they were pretty much the same quality! Okay well I want to get my cookies started since I do have to be at work in 3 hours!

Christa

Good Morning!!

Hello!! I know you thinking, why in the world am I am up right now since I don't work until 11:00!! Well I'll tell you! This morning at 7 am Jese sent me a text message and woke me up because he got a deer!! So then I had to send text messages back and forth between him and papa!! He got a 6 pointer so now he will be able to leave earlier today instead of late tonight!! Yesterday there were 5 deer shot and 16 seen. Adam got a nice pointer and Sam, Tom, Ryan, and someone else got deer too!! Jese saw two yesterday but they were far away and running. Good thing he had my stand to sit on so he could get a deer, my stand hardly ever fails anyone!! Last night I got the tv, HD-DVD player, and PS3 moved into the bedroom and I got it all hooked up to my speakers in there! Jese probably won't be to happy about me putting the PS3 in the bedroom but he will live!! I think we will get the Sony Bravia 40" from either walmart or target, with tax it will still be less than $100 more than the 32" we bought last year!! TV's got way cheaper!! That is the same brand we have now and I like it so that is why I picked it again! I would go get it today but it will be to big for me to get from the car to the living room, plus Jese might want to know that we are getting it before I get it!! Today won't be busy at work because the vikings and packers play at noon, we are never ever busy when they play each other. Yesterday we actually stayed busy almost the whole day, and half of the people were men, weren't they all supposed to be hunting!! Okay well I guess I can go dry my hair now even though I don't have to leave for another two hours!!

Christa

Oh great!!

So last night I was sleepy so I though oh I will go to bed and watch a movie, I went to turn on the tv and it wouldn't turn on. I thought maybe it got unplugged so I struggled around everything and found that it was still plugged in so I plugged it into another switch and still nothing!! I was torked off because I wanted to watch my movie so I though well I guess I will just move it and bring the tv from the study in. Then I remebered why I always have Jese help me move it!! I had to bring chair into the bedroom, slid the tv onto then onto the little kitty tower, and then on to the ground because it was so heavy!! I am pretty sure it is 200lbs!! During all of that I dropped it on my leg and so now I have a huge bruise on it that hurts even when I walk, I feel like Cassie!! After all of that I went to the study and picked that little tv right up and carried it right in the bedroom!! So I got to watch my movie after all, it was Ms. Pettigrew lives for a day, it was pretty good!! So I guess now we need to buy a new tv now instead of waiting, darn!! Right now Pizza is sleeping on my, she had been on my for about an hour, she misses Jese that is why she is on my because she never sits with me!! Either that or she just loves my new kitty blanket and likes to sleep on it!! Okay well now I am going to go move the tv back to the study and move the good tv from the living room into the bedroom so when Jese comes home it is ready for us to get a new tv :)

A picture for my sister!

Here you go Amy, now you can quit your whinning I put up a picture of my long flowing hair!!

YES!!!!

I am so happy, it is kind of snowing out!!! I wish it was staying on the ground and more like snow and less like slush!! But at least it is getting closer to snow!! So last night was boring, I got home at 4:30, started making my pizza burgers. While I was waiting for those to get done I talked to amy. Then I ate my supper, read a little, took a shower, then watched Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy and Miami Ink. After that I did the dishes and went in bed and read some more, it was a very exciting night, I am sure tonight will be even better!! I have a movie from Netflix that I can watch tonight after work, I'm not sure what it is though. Besides that who knows what exciting thing I will come up with to do!! I don't like having Jese gone, the hallway light burned out and even with my step ladder I am too short to change the light bulbs and I have to take out the garbage and I am pretty sure I am going to have to clean the kitty litter sometime this weekend too, which I probably haven't done in ages because that is Jese's job!! Oh yeah, I forgot I made grape Jell-O yesterday too, so now I can eat it today! Oh yes, now the snow is real snow not slush!! Pizza is sitting in the door watching it, she loves it!! Don't worry I remebered to feed the fish last night and this morning! Okay well I am going to go get ready for my one class I have today!! Have a GREAT day!!

Christa

All by myself, don't wanna be all by myself!!!

Well it's offical, Jese left me :( Just for a few days though!! He went up north for deer hunting and left me here by myself!! I think I am going to have to put the automatic feeder on the fish tank because I'm not going to remeber to feed them, that is his job!! He just left and is going to be up there untill Sunday, jerk!! Like Amy this is my first year since I started going up (5th, or 6th grade) that I am missing out. Well really the first year I just sat on the stand and didn't hunt, I wasn't ready yet, but the next year I hunted!! I think I got my first deer when I was 14 because the first year you can go is when you are 12 and I didn't actually hunt that year and the next year I didn't get one, so yep I think 14!! Today I don't really know too much, my finger now doesn't feel anything and I have a blister on my palm but it no longer hurts so that is good!! After my test in Accounting today I am getting together with a few other people to do the written part of the Accounting test, it is take home so it is okay that we are doing it together!! I think I am going to make pizza burgers today for supper, even though it will just be me. Okay well I don't know anything else!
Christa

OUCH!!!

Okay so I know I updated already today but I just wanted to let everyone know how much pain I am in right now!! This morning when I was curling my hair I wasn't looking and I went to pick up my very hot curling iron and picked it up on the hot end instead of the nice cool handle!! Now I can't feel anything that I touch with my left hand, one finger is swollen and I have an almost blister on my palm. I also can't type with my swollen finger because it just doesn't work too well when I can't feel when I push the keys!! So lesson for today, don't grab a curling iron that has been on for 45 minutes! On the plus side, I was curling the last piece when I did this so at least my hair looks good and I was able to finish it!! Okay well it is hard not to type with my pointer finger so that is all for now!!

Christa

It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring, oh wait, that's me snoring!!

Hello!! I am sooo happy, it is raining out, it isn't 70 degrees, and Obama won last night!! I am not happy about being up so early though, I don't have class untill 11:00!! I can't sleep past 7:15 anymore, Jese thinks I am still not used to the time change, I guess that could be it. Since I got up early though I plan on doing a bunch of homework before I go to school. Last night I cleaned the apartment before I went to bed so I don't have to do that today. I just need to get the laundry done! I hope it rains out all day long, it is supposed to but sometimes they say that and it doesn't. Okay well I am going to eat some KIX and then fix my hair and then do homework!! Have a nice day everyone!!
Christa

I voted!!

It's offical, Jese and I voted!! We just got back! We both voted for Obama!! We didn't have to stand in any line!!

Fine, I will update today if I have to!

Hello!! I hope everyone is voting today! I haven't yet but I am going to at 3:30 when I am done with class, I am sure I will have to stand in line for 2 hours!! That is okay though, it is worth it!
Now for my rant for the month. Almost every weekend I have off I go home and see my family. On the days I work and have school I come home do my homework and get cleaning done so I can come home. If I didn't come home I would get phone calls every week asking when I am coming home again. I feel bad because I never get up to Savage to see Cassie, I went from Easter-Oct. not seeing her, if I went that long not seeing anyone else, boy would I hear it. So my point is, on my days off from work and school I may not want to come home, I may have better things to do but I make an effort to keep my family happy, and because I have fun with them I don't mind having to struggle to get everything done on the days I don't have off. I am taking 19 credits this semster, working, and still managing to get home on almost every weekend off. I would just like to thank Amy for coming down and seeing me a few weeks ago, I think that was very nice of her. This weekend was my weekend off, I worked on Saturday and then on Sunday I went to Faribault and Northfield and didn't get back to Winona until 9:30 at night. I didn't have any homework done, yesterday I skipped class to get my hair done because I can never get it done otherwise, then I cleanded the apartment. This morning I got up at 7:00 to get my homework done that I was unable to do this weekend becuse I wasn't home. So next time I invite someone down they better have a damn good excuse to not come down and see me, having better things to do doesn't sound very nice. I don't think cleaning, hunting, or walking around twiddling your thumbs are better things to do. So, instead of going home next time I think I am going to go up to Savage to see Cassie because I never get to see her and her excuse is always a good one, she is working, that excuse works for me! So I guess Amy and Cassie are my favorite people in my family right now because Amy comes to see me and Cassie hardly gets any time off and so she doesn't have much time to come see me. Okay I am done with my rant for the month now.
Enjoy your day!

I got kicked out of my own bed!!!

Hello!! This morning I got up and took a shower and when I got out I found that Pizza had already went into my spot!!! Jese said when he woke up he thought I was in bed and rolled over and then found out it was Pizza!! Oreo ate breakfast with me like every morning, she sits in the chair next to me, not on the table, I don't let her go on it. She sits just like a little kid right next to me waiting for me to get done so I can bring her to the couch and pet her while I am on my computer!! It is our morning routine!!

Yesterday I worked on my day off!! We had a really good show of people for the breast cancer benefit. I think we had almost 100 people show up!! We were super busy from 11-4 because that is when we had the $10 haircuts ($5 went to the local cancer society) The longest wait we had was 15 minutes though because everyone was working, except for one girl!!

Okay well I have to go get ready, we have to go to northfield to day so I have to go fix my hair now!

Christa

with or without hat...

Okay so I decided to be a baseball player instead but I need to know if I should or shouldn't wear the hat!!

Happy Halloween!!!

Happy halloween everyone!!! I hope everyone gets lots of yummy candy tonight!! Today I don't really know much! My items on ebay are doing okay, so far only 3 things are selling though, I wish it was 13!! That is okay though, better than nothing! Tonight I have to work but I am sure I will only be there for a few hours and then get sent home because it won't be busy. We were supposed to dress up for work tonight but I never got a costume so I am going to wear my red dress I wore last year to the rehersal dinner and a tierra and say I am either Santas daughter, aka the princess of the north pole, or homecoming queen! I know, it is lame, but it is all I got! Jese forgot his lunch today for work so I had to bring it to him, I am so nice! Last night we got chinese food for supper, it was yummy! Okay well I have to go into my class now!

Have a SPOOKY halloween!!

I'm a baking fool!!!

We only had 10 minutes to frost the cookies because then supper was done, I did the black (purple) ones, I just dumped the frosting on them!! Jese did the orange ones!!
Me and Jese at the park

Me mixing up brownies for the second time!!

Hello!! Yesterday I baked, baked, baked! Yes I really baked three times!! The first time I made brownies but after I finished baking them I turned around and noticed the butter sitting on the cupboard, I guess I forgot to put it in!! That explains why the batter was so thick!! The second thing I baked was the sugar cookies, and then new brownies with butter!! I got Jese to try the first batch of brownies but I didn't tell him I forgot the butter, he didn't like them very much!! We went to the park yesterday and took some pictures because we don't have enough pictures of us together! Last night I started to upload all of my pictures I have taken this year to shutterfly.com and it took all night long to get them all up there, then once I got to school it just zoomed right through the last 60 pictures. My class got over already, there is supposed to be 50 more minutes!! I guess I will go read some of my business law! Oh yes, someone bid on my radio on ebay!! And there are some people watching some of my clothes, I hope they bid on them!! Okay well have a nice day!!
Christa

Good morning!!

Hello!! Today my throat is scratchy from it being dry out :( Stupid throat!! Yesterday I had classes ALLLLL day long, they were BORING!! Today I don't really have much to do so that will be nice, I think I will make some cookies! Yesterday I put 13 items on ebay, so far only 1 is selling. Most of them are clothes so I don't think they will sell but I thought I would try before I just give them away. Right now the big seller is Jese's Hoyt shirt that he wore like 2 times, it has 6 people watching it and 3 bids already!! I would have had one more person watching it but about 15 minutes after I put it up someone from Canada emailed me and asked if I would ship to Canada but I'm not going to because I really have no idea how much it would cost. I hope the shirt sells for alot!! Right now it is at $7.06! I also put on the radio that came out of my car, a pair of shoes, a christmas family memory book, and the rest is clothes! Hopefully at least two things sell so I break even! Jese is at work already, he got up early because he thought he had to pick up a kid that lives next to I-90 but turns out he didn't have to today so he only had a couple of kids to pick up! Okay well I'm hungry so I am going to eat breakfast now!

Is it Christmas time yet??

Hi!! I wish I could put up my christmas decorations! Well this weekend I worked worked worked!! On Saturday it was pretty busy, we had a wedding party come in and one of the stylists never showed up and we had about 8 chemical services, which is a lot for a saturday with only 4 people doing hair!! Then yesterday I worked, but it wasn't too busy. They fired the other two receptionists and one of the stylists that hasn't been able to cut because of her wrists is going to take over for them. Since that lady hasn't done the receptionist job yet I am working on Saturday because we are having $10 haircuts and donating $5 of that to the local cancer society. We are also doing colored hair extensions for $3 instead of $8...so we should be pretty busy. They are advertising it in the paper and radio all week. We had our meeting last night, it got done at 6:00!! It was the longest one yet I think! Yesterday it snowed out!! I was so excited, I wish it would have stayed on the ground though! It was super windy so when I was at work I had to go move my car so it wouldn't get hit by a shopping cart like my old car was! After this class today I have to go to the grocery store, we are out of hamburger, chicken, and cheese!! I think I am going to get a cheap whole chicken so I can make some chicken noodle soup on wednesday. Tonight I think I will make pizza burgers, we haven't had them in a really long time. I made pizza last night but that is okay because pizza burgers are way better :) I also think I will make sloppy joes this week or next week, and tator tot hot dish! Yum, maybe I will make tator tot hotdish tonight, it would be way easier than pizza burgers and I do work tonight!! It is sooo cold and windy outside, do you ever notice that during the summer it isn't very windy but as soon as it gets cold out it seems to get super windy!! Maybe I just notice it more because it is cold, but I think it gets winder. Amy is calling me right now but I am class so I can't answer my phone, she always calls me when I am in this class. Okay well I guess I don't know much else!

Christa

Look at me, I can play the drums!!

Hello!! Don't worry yesterday I managed to get some homework done!! I ended up not going in to work, when I called in to see if they really needed me they said that it hasn't been busy during the night and they should be okay without me! That was nice of them!! So now today I don't have as much homework to do! Amy stopped over yesterday for some rochester cookies, they were yummy, Jese made them!! I work this weekend :( That is okay though because it is going to be cold and rainy so I wouldn't really do much if I didn't work anyways! Today one of my classes is cancelled, yea!! So I just have to take a test at 11:00 then nothing else untill I go to work at 2:30! Speaking of tests, I have to go now so I can study some more for the one I have today! Have a nice day!
Christa
oh yeah, this morning I woke up from the most wonderful dream ever, it was a christmas dream!! I wish it was christmas!

Ouch!!

Okay so maybe pretending to do homework yesterday wasn't a good idea. Last night I slept horrible because I kept thinking of everything I had to get done that I decided not to do yesterday and I had a headache and I still have it today, although not as bad. Of course I was nice and said I would work today so now I am skipping two of my classes so I can get everything done. I am going to my operations managment and accounting class and saying sorry business law and tax I'm not going to be there today! I figure it is okay to miss one day of those classes though, after all most people miss half the classes! Well not in business law, we can only miss 3 classes then she starts to lower our grade, I am pretty sure I will be okay though! I have a test tomorow that I have to read 3 chapters for, I have accounting homework that is due at 2:00 today that I haven't even looked at. I have a test in Tax next week and I have about 3 chapters to read for that, and I have 2 chapters to read in my law class!! Right now in my class half the people are gone, they are probably at the career fair. You are probably wondering why I didn't go to that, well I'll tell you! I figure I have no chance of standing out when compared to everyone else here, why, because my grades suck and most everyone who goes there has good grades! But don't worry, I will probably go to it in the spring since I will almost be done with school and will hopefully have some better grades!! Okay well I have to pretend to pay attention now!
Christa

Just another boring day!

Hello!! I don't really know much today. I had two classes today, both were boring as always! Tomorow I am working for Julie because I am so nice :) I really don't want to but I am anyways. Right now I am pretending to do homework but I am really watching Ellen because that is way more exciting than Secured Transacations and Suretyship law stuff! My phone is pretty much dead right now because I haven't charged it in 2 days, opps!! Right now Jese is at school because he is working on a project with another kid, but really I did lots of it for him already because for his family class he is supposed to plan a wedding, and guess what, I already did that!! So they are pretty much just using all of the information from our wedding so it shouldn't take him too long to do. Then he is going to go to Walmart to get 2 gallons of milk (we go through it fast) and kitty litter. Then he will be home and I probably won't be able to pretend to do my homework anymore! Okay well I guess since I don't know anything I will go pretend to do homework some more!!

Oh yeah, last week I had a test in Operations Management and it really sucked, it was 190 points and the class average was 105!! I got 95!! That really sucks, but I still have a C in the class and at the end of the semester she curves the grades so hopefully I get a B but if I don't it will probably be my only C, hopefully!!

Hello!! This weekend I had lots of fun!! I got up and Saturday and went straight to Waseca where me, mama, amy, and liam made 18 apple pies!! While we did that Adam took the tint of my windows and changed the oil in my car! Now I can't get pulled over for having my windows to dark! After we finished the pies we ate supper at Mama's, she made steak and shrimp, yummy!! Then on Sunday Mama, me and Amy went shopping in Mankato, I got some cute shoes! Then Amy and I went to Papa's to say hi! Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa's for supper! I ended up getting back to Winona around 9:00 last night and I was super tired! I went to bed around 10:15 and slept really good!! Now I am in my class, I just had to update my blog so I could get my pictures up before Amy and Mama because we all have the same pictures!! Okay well I don't know anything else! Have a nice day at work!

They grow up so fast

Hello!! I don't know anything today. I am just in class so I thought I would give you one more update for the week!! I work tonight and then tomorow morning I am heading to Waseca to bake pies with mama and Amy! On Sunday I am going to go to Papas and then to Grandma and Grandpa B.'s for our birthdays! I had to tell Amy today that someone has to get me a cake ( I wanted it made from scratch, but she wouldn't do it) because since I am the one who always makes cakes, nobody thought to make me one! Or at least I haven't been asked what kind I want!! Okay well I will give you an update about the weekend on Monday!!

Another week, another update!

This is Oreo helping me study last week, she likes to do that alot!! I just got done taking a test in my operations managment class I hope I did okay. I know I did some of it wrong but hopefully she will give me partial credit! I don't remeber if I said before but last week I got 46/50 on my business law test!! I was in the top 4 or 5 people!! Last week was my smart week, to bad I didn't take this test last week, then I probably would have done much better :) That's okay though, I heard she curves her grades so hopefully that will help me out a little bit! This weekend wasn't too exciting. Jese and I both worked, it wasn't busy at work because all of the college kids were gone because it was a three day weekend. Plus on Saturday it was so nice out noboday wanted to come in! Yesterday wasn't too busy either, we only had two stylist working though so they stayed busy. I have to remeber to stop by the bank today, I forgot that it was my week to get paid last week so I still have to drop off my check at the bank, I keep forgetting! Right now I am just waiting for my Business Law class to start, I got out of my last class early because of the test. I didn't do my accounting homework yet because I don't know how to do it so during my tax class I plan on getting help from someone and then I will turn it in! Okay well I guess I don't know anything else, have a nice day!

I wish I were here today...

...I wish I were snowed in today so I wouldn't have to be in class right now! Today I had a test in my law class, I think I did okay, probably a B! Right now I am tax, he is super boring. I wish there was snow on the ground so if I fell down the ground would be soft. Or if I got thristy I could just scoop up some snow. If there was snow on the ground I could make a snowman and a snowangel to keep him company. If there were snow on the ground that would mean it is Christmas time and then I could have my Christmas decorations up. If there were snow on the ground that would mean it would be cold out always and I could bundle up in blankets and in scarfs and mittens! With the snow comes the silence that just isn't there when there are leaves on the ground and lots of people walking on them. School sometimes gets cancelled when it snows and work isn't busy. When it snows out it will mean Jese is about done with school (p.s. his graduation date is Dec. 12 at 9:30 if you want to come) When there is snow it is cold out so eating home made chicken noodle soup is a MUST, and chicken noodle soup is my favorite! When it snows that means that it will be winter break and I will get a month off of school, that would be nice, it will be longer than my summer break! Along with the snow comes my favorite thing of all, Christmas music!! I love christmas music, it is happy! The snow brings with it the Grinch and Roudolph, Christmas Vacation! But for now, I guess I will settle for the lowering temps, the changing leaves, and the meat that is sure to come soon! So for now I will enjoy it while it lasts because we all know, the fall is much better than the summer!

I wish I were here...

I wish it was summer again and I was out west, that way I wouldn't have to be sitting here in class right now! I am super bored! Yesterday we got our fish tank emptied out and moved and the floor is pretty much dry now! Jese vaccummed it for an hour so he got most of the water out! I was worried the fish were going to die from all of the new water because of all of the chlorine in it, but we didn't have a single one die!! I am cold :( I knew I should have worn a sweatshirt today. I have today, tomorow, and thursday off of work!! Yeepee! I plan to not do anything! I have a test in accounting today, I think I will do okay. I was supposed to have a quiz in tax today but the class got cancelled because his mama died so now we have a take home quiz that is due on thursday. Tomorow I have a test in marketing, it is open book and I read both chapters yesterday so I am not worried about that one either. Then on Thursday I have a test in Law, that one I am going to study for today during the time I am supposed to have my tax class! Then on Friday we have no school because it is our fall break!!! Yeepee! Then on Tuesday next week I have a test in operations managment! Okay well I guess I don't know anything else, have a nice rainy day! I love the rain!

oh oh...

So apparently when you have a fish tank you should occasionally clean out the filter!! Today I vaccuumed and a little later discovered the floor was all wet!! I thought oh oh the fish tank is leaking and after Jese and I looked all over it for a leak he noticed water was slowly coming out of the back of the filter, apparently the filters were so dirty the water couldn't make its way through so it decided to go out the back, I think it has been doing it for awhile! So tomorow since Jese has it off he is going to empty out the tank, move it and rent a wet-vac to clean up all the water off the carpet underneath the tank! It should be a fun job! Today I cleaned and did all of the laundry, including the towels, it was 7 loads!!! After that I cleaned out the closet and went through Jese's clothes, he only fought over two, he ended up keeping one and getting rid of one! So overall I was happy with him because he didn't even through a fit when I got rid of his sponge bob sweatshirt! He finally realized he isn't 5 any more! Okay well I am working on my blanket now so I have to go!
