Kipper isn't to happy with me right now! I am making him wear his Lobster Halloween costume!! It got a little small on him, I guess he has grown since we bought it! I just wanted to put up pictures of my puppy ready for halloween!

No Thank You!

Hello! Yesterday I spent the entire day at an interview. Basically they were testing me out to see if I would be good. The job sucked balls though. It was basically a door to door saleman, only for businesses. The guy I went around with was really nice though, however, he smoked an entire pack of cigarettes in the car and now today my eyes feel like they were punched!! We ended up getting back to the office 40 minutes late, and then I had to meet with the boss guy. I ended up turning down the job before they even offered it to me. The day before they interviewed a whole bunch of people and they narrowed it down to me and one other guy, they only talked to me for 15 minutes so I must have had a good 1st impression! Anyways, I left to go up there at 7:15 am and I got back home at 7:00 pm!! It was a long day. Driving home sucked because I can't see driving at night as it is, but with the rain I could hardly see anything!! I felt like I was going to go off the road half of the drive home! Today I am supposed to go help Amy make apple pies but I am being mean and not going down to help her. Okay that is all for today.

Sucessful Job Search Day!

Hello! Today Jese helped me look for a job and I got sick of it so I just clicked about 60 jobs at once and applied to all of them! Well now I have two interviews tomorrow, one at 11:00 and one at 3:00!! The second one I don't know what it is for because I didn't hear who she said she was, so now I am waiting for the email she is sending me to find out!! The first job is with a temp agency, it would get me experience that I need but not a job for the long hall. Oh, I just got the email, it is an accounting job. That is good! Okay well Kipper needs me now so I must go!

Pumpkin Carving!

Well this year Jese's pumpkin turned out better than mine! I did do four of them though and he only did one! He was nice and cleaned the inside of my big one out since his arms are longer than mine. Kipper kept trying to sneak away with seeds, he loved them! Today the neighbors gave me a huge hello kitty balloon for my birthday! Brr, I am cold!! Okay well that is all for today!

Happy Birthday Grandpa B!

Hello! Today is Grandpa B's and my birthday! I plan on spending most of the day by myself! Jese has to leave in a little more than an hour for his work meeting and school. Tonight Papa is going to come up to take me out to eat. I would have gone to his house but we are short a car because Adam isn't done fixing Jese's junker!
Pizza has discovered that Mama fish is protective so when she sticks her paw in the water Mama fish comes to attack her. So now they have been playing who can bite who first! So far Pizza has been way to slow to catch Mama fish, Mama fish has got Pizza a few times though! The babies are looking more and more like cichlads every day! Last night Kipper decided that he NEEDED to bury all of his bones in the house! So he kept taking them and burying them in blankets and then Jese and I would take them out because it was funny because then he would go around looking for another place to put the bones! He is being a good dog again, his naughty week is over!! Now that we are done painting and unpacking we can give him more attention so he is much happier and is not punishing us anymore but tearing apart pillows and pooping in the study :) I am glad he is behaving now otherwise I would not like him very much anymore! The little kitty on craigslist that I wanted, Uuper, must have gotten adopted because he is not on there anymore. He was the cutest little kitten ever! Okay well that is all I know today!

PJ Day!!

Kipper all dressed up for people to come!
Liam and Jese getting ready to sleep in the tent in the living room!
Hello! Yesterday I was super busy! I got up at 8:30 and didn't sit down all day!! I cleaned and cooked lots! At 4:00 people started to come for our housewarming party! We had 22 people total show up! Adam left Josie and Liam here for us to babysit because Amy needs to sleep today. Josie slept very good, she woke up at 10:00 but I just gave her a pacifire and she went back to sleep. Liam woke up at 1:00 scared, he forgot where he was, after some talking he went back to sleep. Right now we are watching cars. I am not going to do anything today! Jese is going to make me shrimp and steak for my birthday! He is doing it today because on Tuesday and Wednesday he won't be here! I am excited to eat it, yummy! Okay well I don't know anything else!

Can I start today over!!

Hello! Well today I am getting nowhere fast! I started out by hanging the picture up upstairs, I bent about 15 nails in the process!! It took me way longer than I thought it would. While I was doing that Kipper was chewing on a bone on my bed so then I had to wash the comforter. Well it is a little bigger than our other ones so when I washed it the washer overflowed!! Then I went to sew a pillow out of the left over curtain material and found out that when we first got Kipper he chewed through the sewing machine cord. I caught him doing it and thought I got to him soon enough, apparently not! So now I am sewing the pillow by hand!! It is going to take FOREVER!! I still need to make the sloppy joes and brownies, and vacuum and dust!! It is either going to be a late night or early morning!! Okay well I have to get back to this pillow!
Christa
oh yes, and as of today we have put more money into Jese's car in the last year than it is worth!

Thanks Jese!

Yesterday I went to Mama's to make apple sauce! I was lots of help!! I was pretty much just a superviser!! Jese came at 3:00 because he was dropping his car off for Adam to fix the brakes. So then we went to Faribault to go to papa's house to get all of the stuff I forgot to get last time I was there! I got my bird feeder that Grandpa B. made and I took a post from papa (with prior approval) for it! So when we got back I sent Jese out to the backyard to put it up. So he used the shovel we also took from papa's house and dug a three foot deep hole! He finally got the bird feeder up just in time for supper. We had tacos, yummy! This morning there were a ton of birds at the feeder!! I am glad because everywhere we live I always put up some sort of bird feeder and we never get birds :( I am almost ready for our housewarming party on Sunday. Pretty much everything left to do I can't do today. Jese is sleeping so that eliminates hanging up pitcures and with Kippers dirty feet everytime he comes in the house eliminates cleaning the floors! So all of that will wait until tomorrow and Sunday morning. Tomorrow Jese will be sleeping at Cassie's house because he is dog sitting Jada, plus that way I can be as loud as I want to be when hanging up pictures because I won't wake him up! Okay I have to go find what Kipper is getting into now, he is being a trouble maker lately and he is now upstairs!!

Post Number 700!!!

Yum, mashed potatoes!!
Making cookies!

All of our cookies!

Josie with her naughty aunt!!

Hello! Yesterday was a fun day! At 8:45 I got woke up by Amy telling me (not asking!) that she was coming to make halloween cookies, but she didn't know what time! So I got up and got myself ready and then I forced Jese to get up at 9:30, bad idea, he was crabby about it all day :) Then I dried the dishes from the night before and then we went grocery shopping! We saved $13.00 with coupons! We also started a turkey card, if I spen $450 by thanksgiving I get a FREE turkey!! If I spend more than that I get a bigger turkey!! I love free stuff! Before we even checked out Amy sent me another message telling me she was only 20 minutes away!! So we rushed home, I started to put away the laundry and Jese started to wash all of the dishes! Well we didn't get everything done in time and they showed up!! I was suposed to have lunch ready so instead of cooking we took them out to eat at el tequila, yum! When we got back we finally started making cookies! I added a little to much salt but you can't even tell :) By the time they were done baking it was time to make Jese supper since he had class. So Amy cut up the super cheap steak I bought and Jese peeled potatoes and we made meat chunks and mashed potatoes, yummy! While that was cooking we frosted the cookies while Liam dumped sprinkles on them!! Then we ate supper, once we were done Cassie and Nick showed up with Jese's car. Cassie decided to give Josie a whole pot of mashed potatoes and a cookie, needless to say she got sick!! Everyone left around 6:00 so I had an hour to clean all the cookie crumbs up that were scattered across the house, I even found some on the bed!! Liam was up there watcing a movie that is how they got up there!!

Today I am going to get as much orgainzing and cleaning done as possible for our housewarming party on Sunday. Okay I have to go check on our trouble maker dog I can hear him playing upstairs and he hasn't came down to go potty yet!

Lesson Learned!

Hello! Well when Jese is sleeping all day and I leave I let Kipper stay out by himself. So today I thought well he behaves just fine then so I am sure he would be fine by himself all day, boy was I wrong!! We left at 11:00 and didn't get back until 6:00, which is later than I planned and this is what we came home to!! There was also a torn apart book in the study!!

Today when Jese got home from work he decided that he didn't want to go to sleep and wanted to come with me to get pumpkins! So I drove us to Faribault and we went with Papa to get some pumpkins! We got two HUGE ones and three little ones! After that we went up to Grandpa & ma's to pick some apples with the Hagre family! We got lots of them!! Then I had to play photographer and try to take pictures the the Hagre family for their Christmas card, it didn't go very good! Either Liam or Amy would mess up the picture!! Sometimes I guess Josie and Adam did too! Then Jese and I went to Lowes because online they say they have Martha Stewart paint and I picked out a color for the living room. Well it turns out that the one Lowes we go to they don't have it!! We ended up finding a color similar to the one I wanted though!! When we finally got home we cleaned up Kippers mess and then I decided to repaint the hallway! Jese got suckered into helping me and he ended up finishing it, haha!! I did actually help this time though! I really like the color, it isn't spirement green anymore!! Okay I am watching Desp. Housewives now!

P.S. my next update will be number 700!!

It's begining to look a lot like Christmas!!!!

Me on Ladies Night Out!

Hello! This morning I woke up to snow!! I like snow right now because it isn't super cold and windy, but as soon as it gets super cold and windy I won't like it any more!! Kipper didn't like the snow so much this morning but now he just wants to be outside!! Yesterday Amy and Liam begged me to come to Waseca to play games so I gave in and went there! We ended up not playing any games though!! I colored with Liam after we ate lunch then he went to bed and Amy and I watched tv ALL afternoon!! We were also getting the stuff ready for her to make her scrubbies at work! Remi decided that it would be fun to lay on top of me instead on my feet like I told her! I let her lay on me for a little bit but after being hit in the head by her long legs I made her get down! When I got back home Jese and I went over to the neighbors for a little bit then he went to work and I watched tv! Today I am going to make chicken noodle soup and maybe halloween sugar cookies if I feel like it! Right now I am watching Untraceable, it is a good movie! Okay until next time,

Welcome to small town life!

Well tonight I had my first small town experience! After I took my shower and was all comfy of the couch in my p.j's I heard a knock on the door! Then the person turned the knob to get in but I had it locked, of course I thought it was just mama or Amy stopping by unannounced! It turned out to be the neighbors! They were coming over to invite me out on Thursday for Ladies Night Out. Of course they tricked me into going by asking what I was doing on Thursday first and then when I said nothing, Erica (that is the ladies name) invited me! So I guess I will be social and meet all the ladies of New Prague!! Maybe I will meet someone my age that I can be friends with! The also invited Jese and I over on Friday because they have a fire every friday night! Then we will be able to meet our other neighbors! Maybe we can get them to mow our lawn before they move :) They have two sons, one is 18 and the other one is in 2nd grade!! The younger one walked over while they were here. They all LOVE Kipper!! I think Erica wants to steal him!!! They liked our fish, they had to look at all of them, they were impressed by all the babies! Okay well since I already updated today I am not going to write anything else, I just thought it was funny the neighbors tried to come into my house already!!!

Kitchen: DONE!

Well we finished the kitchen, well minus the curtains that need to be hung back up! Last night Jese ran out of paint so he couldn't finish the yellow! So this morning I woke him up at 10:00 so he could go to the store to get more. While he was doing that I drove to Waseca to get the best brown paint ever from my mama! I really like the color that she had, I am glad she couldn't use it so I could have it!! When I got back I found Jese still painting the yellow!! He was having troubles getting it to cover since we didn't prime the walls first! He ended up having to do three coats in some spots!! While he did that I got the walls ready for the brown and he still was working on the yellow!! So instead of waiting for him I just started the brown...I ended up finishing about 15 minutes after he did!! We really like the colors! The yellow is a little brighter than I planed but it still looks good and it brightens up the kitchen a ton. I just have to hang up the curtains and then that room will be completely finished! I have to wait a little longer before I hang them though because the brown paint is still a little sticky! We aren't going to get to the living room/halls untill tomorrow because Jese is now on his way to school. We won't have enough time to finish them tomorrow either, but we will finish them on Thursday. My hands are full of paint so I have to take a shower!! Okay check back in a few days for more pictures of completed rooms!!

A little brighter than I thought!!

Hello!! Well we picked out our paint colors, so far the kitchen is a little brighter than we thought it was going to be!! Hopefully it still looks good!! We are going to be doing a light green color in the living room, hopefully that isn't to bright! Jese is painting the kitchen right now. I helped a little bit but now I am sick of it so I quit because I hate painting!! Tomorrow we will do the living room. We will also have to go to Waseca to get the brown paint from mama so we can do the last two walls of the dining room. I don't really know much today. We got a lot of stuff done today! The upstairs is competly finished besides pictures being hung up! We aren't going to paint up there for awhile. Okay well since I don't know anything I am going to go!

It's Official!!

Well we just made it official, we are now home owners! Jese and I closed on the house at noon today, finally the nightmare is finally over! Or maybe the nightmare is about to begin!!! So far we haven't found anything majorly wrong with the house! The only problems so far are the spouts to turn on the water for the washer drip a little bit, also I turned on the heat today to make sure it would be ready for the cold weather and discovered the old owners (the ones before the last ones!) didn't glue the kitchen floor down!! When the heat is on the floor blows up a little bit in the middle!!! I thought it was kind of funny, Jese probably won't! He is sleeping right now! He likes being closer to work, he can sleep in a little later today since he doesn't have to leave so early! Pretty much everything is unpacked, well except for the papers that go in the filing cabinet and the linens! Yesterday Jese spent awhile putting up some shelves for me in our bedroom closet so then I got all of our clothes unpacked! I am really sick of unpacking!!! I am going to make cookies today for a break from unpacking! Oh yes, I forgot, the other day Jese got hit on at school, by a guy!!!! I told him that is because he always acts gay, hehe!! He didn't find it so funny because it was a middle aged guy!! Okay well I am going to go make my cookies now!
