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!

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!!

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!

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.
