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!!

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!

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!

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!!

Christa

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!!

18 Apple pies!!

Mama is mixing the crust!!
Liam and I sliced the apples
Liam helped roll out the crust!!

Me and Grandpa in our annual birthday picture!!

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!

Christa

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!!

-Christa

brrr...i'm cold

HI! I LOVE THIS WEATHER TODAY!! I LOVE IT WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE!!! I CAN SNUGGLE UP IN A BLANKET WHEN I GET HOME BECAUSE I WON'T BE HOT!!!!! I AM SOOOO EXCITED!! RIGHT NOW I AM IN MY ENERGY CLASS, IT IS BORING!! TODAY I DID MY GOOD DEED! I PICKED UP A GIRL AND BROUGHT HER TO WORK BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T HAVE HER CAR TODAY, I AM SO NICE! TOMOROW I HAVE A TEST IN ACCOUNTING, I DON'T THINK I AM GOING TO DO AS GOOD. I JUST ANSWERED A QUESTION IN CLASS, I AM SUCH AN OVER ACHIEVER! YESTERDAY I WENT GROCERY SHOPPING AND I SAVED $25.70 WITH COUPONS!! I ONLY USED ABOUT 1/3 OF MY COUPONS SO FAR, I AM SUCH A SAVER!! ONLY ABOUT 1/2 OF THEM WERE $1 OFF, MOST WERE FOR $0.50 OFF. OH WELL, I WILL TAKE ANY DISCOUNT I CAN GET! OKAY WELL I DON'T REALLY KNOW ANYTHING, JUST THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE ANOTHER UPDATE FOR THE WEEK!

YUMMY, I WANT TO EAT SOME CAKE!

CHRISTA

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!

Christa

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!

Man I am smart!!

Hello!! This is what we had for supper last night, it was delicous!! Yesterday I got 29/33 on my accounting test and today I got 33/35 on my marketing test! Lets hope I do just as good on my law test tomorow!! I have a pizza in the oven right now for lunch, it is going to be yummy, I am starving!! Okay now is done so I have to go eat now!
Christa

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!
Christa

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!
Christa

WooHoo it's friday!!

Hello!!! I am sooo glad it is friday! This is my weekend off so I am going to work tonight and then do nothing the rest of the weekend!! It is going to be sooooo nice! Yesterday Jese finished his job so he doesn't have to do anything either so he is lucky too! Well really I am sure I will do a little homework and cleaning but now to much! Mostly I am going to sit around and do nothing!! Next week we don't have classes on friday, woohoo! To bad we have classes the rest of the week! Right now I am in my energy class, I don't actually listen :) He gave us a take home test, it isn't due untill the 14th! So I probably won't start it for awhile! Well I don't really know much else, I just thought I would give you a little update!

Is is nap time yet?

Remeber those good ol days when you were in kindergarden and you got to take a nap half way through the day, what happened to that? I am pretty sure I am still just as tired as I was then but I don't get my nap?? I am sure back then I didn't even want to take a nap but I had to and now I want to take a nap and I can't, maybe we have it all wrong. Maybe when we are in kindergarden we should stay up all day long and just go to bed early and when we are in college, (and probably for the rest of our lives) we should work or study or go to classes for half a day, take a nap, and then continue with the rest of the day and go to bed early! That would be nice! That is the way it should be, if I were president I would make it mandatory to take naps half way through the day if you are over the age of 18! That would be so nice! We should get paid during that time too if we are working because it would make us more productive because we would have more energy! So if you want naps every day just write me in when you vote this November, I will take care of it for you!
President Christa

Goodbye!!

If you know me well you know my gray sweatshirt that is falling apart but I love anyways and wear it all the time!! Well yesterday I started to clean out the closet and I decided it was time to part ways with it. The sleeves were falling apart, there was hair dye on the hood, and paint on the sleeves, it was time to say good bye. So I had Jese throw it away for me because I couldn't bear to do it myself!! It will be missed, it fit me better than any other sweatshirt I got to replace it! I also discovered when cleaning out my closet that I am pretty sure I am allergic to dust, so now my list is dust, candles, amy's house, puppies, and rain, oh and penicillan and amoxicillian!! Can't forget those last two, they make me do more than just sneeze! Last night I was so sleepy, I went to bed at 10:00, but then I got up at 7:45 this morning because I woke up early!! Today Jese is skipping our energy class so he can go work because if he works extra hard today he might be able to finish tomorow, that would be nice because then he would have this weekend off!! We are staying home this weekend and not doing anything!! I am excited! Okay well I have to go dry my hair and then do some more homework before my class starts!
Christa
