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!

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!!

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!
Christa

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!

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!

Okay I know what I really want to do now!

So this whole time I have been in college I didn't really think I wanted to go into accounting but I still continued with it. Last night I realized something. All my life I have always wanted to own some sort of business, weather it be an archery shop, bakery, or book store, I have always wanted to own some sort of place. And whenever I see someone on tv who owns a place, I always think, hmm that would be something I would like to do. So I have decided that it is good that I went to school for accounting/business admin. because then I know how to do my own accounting/taxes and I won't have to hire anyone to do that for me! So my grand plan is to become a CPA (crossing my fingers I pass the test!) and then once I am rich I will be able to open my own business!! On another note, Jese got a raise today ($0.25), he was supposed to get it in July so they are giving him back pay on it! That will be sweet! My goal for this week/weekend is to clean out our big closet. For our wedding we got some Christmas stuff and I have bought some at garage sales so not everything is put away, it is just all laying on the shleves taking up space so I want to take it all down and get it put in boxes so I can put our sheets on the shelves and then we an use the dresser they are all in right now! That would be sweet! I changed the sheets today and I put on FLANNEL sheets!! I decided that since it is fall now I could put them on!! I hope I don't die of a heat stroke tonight!! This morning when I was eating breakfast Oreo kept walking around the table in a circle crying and then she jumped on the chair next to me and tried to fit onto my lap, but there wasn't enough room. After I ate breakfast I brought her to the couch and she just wanted to be petted! She fell asleep on my while I checked all of my emails! After that she was much better and didn't cry anymore, poor poor kitty was lonely!! Okay well that is all for today!

so sleepy...

...holy moly, lately I have been so sleepy!! So far this week I have taken a few too many naps!! Yesterday I was reading my business law book and decided I would take a 15 minute nap with the kittens, it ended up being more like 45-60 minutes!! Needless to say I didn't get very much homework done after that! You would think that after my nap I would be well rested and stay up all night but oh no, I went to bed at 11:00 and this morning I didn't roll out of bed untill 8:45 because my first class was canceled!! I really need to start getting up earlier because I like to do homework in the morning and I need to quit taking naps!! The kittens just look so peaceful when they are napping so they make me take on too!! Last night I made my own creation for supper! Well I am sure someone else has made it, it just doesn't have any name, it was chicken, spaghetti sauce, penne noodles, and moz. cheese, it was yummy but Jese didn't eat any of it because he ate a sandwich at work, and I kept it warm for him and everything!! I cooked enough chicken so I could make chicken enchiladas and I only used half the spaghetti sauce so I can also make spaghetti!! I am so smart! So tonight we will have enchiladas and tomorow or saturday we will have spaghetti!! My class right now is super boring, it is my tax class, sometimes I want to take a nap in the class, I think the teacher wants to also because he is playing with his cell phone while he is talking to us! hmmm....what else is new...I guess I don't know anything else!
Christa

Finally...

...I got a good grade in Accounting!! I got a 24/29 on my test yesterday, that is a B!! I was super excited!! I think I am doing pretty good this semester, I normally can tell by now if I am going to have to drop a class (which I normally do) and I'm not going to this semster because I am doing pretty good in all of my classes! I am either getting smarter, or better at studying, or maybe both!! Yesterday I did my grocery shopping, now we aren't buying anything except for fresh food and milk for at least 30 days!! I saved $12 with coupons, not very much but I didn't have very many coupons either, so I was happy with it! I had to rearrange my cupboards to fit everything in!! I put up all of my Halloween decorations last night because other people have so then it was okay!! We had steak and corn for supper last night. Jese ate his a bit later though because he was doing his job in Stockton so I saved his in the oven for him! He got home around 8:30 and the job is going better than he thought so far! Since he doesn't have stilts he put a board on top of some pails and then just walks on that! It worked pretty good for him last night he said! Today he will get started earlier because our class this afternoon was cancelled! I am meeting a girl in the library at 1:30 because she wants help on some homework that is due next week, hopefully it doesn't take too long because I have other stuff I want to get done before tomorows classes. I am in class right now, it is boring!! This morning Oreo was driving me nuts!! Every morning when I get up she finds it necessary to attach herself to my leg and go meow, meow, meow, and I almost fall over every morning. Today she was even worse and I was trying to breath and so then I got crabby at her and then she left me alone once she realized I wasn't going to drop everything to pet her! Later I pet her though! Okay well I guess that is about it for now!

Stocking up...

Okay so I have decided that since prices of food keep going up, up, up, I am going to stock pile up on groceries so that way I don't have to keep paying more and more for the same things!! Today I filled up for gas, it only cost $3.44, that is $0.36 cheaper than I paid last tuesday!! When I went in to pay I just brought in my debit card and it said see ID on the back and the lady said oh I'm sure I know you good enough so I don't need to ask you to go out and get your ID, I thought that was really funny because I don't think I have ever gotten my gas there myself before, I always used to go to kwik trip because then I didn't have to go inside to pay, but now I don't go there anymore! It only cost a total of $43 to fill up my tank today!! Hopefully this time it lasts longer than a week! Today Jese is starting his dry wall job, once he finishes it we are putting all of the money into savings because that is the responsible and smart thing to do and we are really smart!! Right now I am in my tax class, it is pretty boring, plus there is a mower right outside the window so we can't really hear everything he is saying anyways, oh well!!

A fun weekend!!

Hello! Well this weekend I had lots of fun! Jese and I got to waseca on friday night around 9:30, then we went to bed shortly after that because we had to get up early on Saturday! We got up at 6:30 so I could go to garage sales and Jese went to work with my papa! I got lots of good holiday decorations!! After the garage sales Amy, Adam, Sammie, me, and babies went to the parade, I got lots of candy!! After that we went back to Amy's house where I took a nap! That night Alicia came over and we (Me, her, and Jese) went to Club 57 to watch Speakeasy play. It was lots of fun but I don't think Alicia was feeling so great on Sunday!! Then on Sunday we went back home and I was soooo sleepy from getting up early and staying up late so I took an hour nap, plus the nap I took on the ride home!! Oh yeah, I forgot to write that Amy made yummy cinnamin rolls on Saturday morning and scrambled eggs on Sunday morning for us!! Now I am all stuffed up from staying at Amy's house and I am not happy about it!! My throat is all scratchy and clogged up and so is my nose. Mama and me decided that I must be allergic to puppies, either that or I am allergic to Amy!! That would be funny! This morning I got up early to do some homework that is due tomorow so after my first class today I can study for my accounting test I have tomorow. I was supposed to study yesterday but since I fell asleep it didn't really happen! Okay well my class starts in ten minutes and I don't know anything else!
Bye,

What do you mean gas dropped $0.16 a gallon after I filled up!!!

Hello again! Well I put of filling up my car for about a week because I don't like to fill it up so I normally wait until Jese is with me so he will do it (I know I am lazy!) So finally after my gas light came on I decided it was time to fill up, don't worry I conviced Jese to come with me! At that time gas was a whopping $3.75 a gallon, that was on Tuesday. Well since then it has dropped all the way down to $3.59, I hate when that happens. I wish I could have crystal ball that told me the future so I could save $0.16 a gallon, that would have been about $2.00 off of what I paid, that is nuts! Stupid economy!! I am sure glad I found my job over a year ago so I wouldn't have to try to find one now, because I am pretty sure the only place I (or anyone else) would get hired at would be Walmart and I for one would not like to work there!! I read in the paper today that unemployment rates in Minnesota went up to 6.2%, that is higher than the national average, sucks for people who live here!! There were 3,100 jobs dropped in August. I just thought I would let you all know because some people (Jese) don't realize that we really are lucky to have our jobs! Last night Jese cooked for me, he is so nice, I told him it would have been nicer if he would have done it without me asking him to, but that is okay I will take what I can get! He cooked for about an hour, that is way longer than he normally does!! I am so glad it is the weekend! I work tonight but then it is my weekend off!! It was so nice this week having tuesday-thursday off, I feel way better!! I am not rushed in getting my homework done, I can do some house cleaning, it is way nicer! Next week I am going to try to help Jese with his drywall job though because it is a big job! Okay well I am in class so I guess I better pretend to listen!!

Jerks!!!!

Hola! We must have got robbers as new neighbors because in the past month we have had two netflix gone missing when we mail them. Our mailbox isn't large enough to put the movies in so everyone puts them on top of all of the mailboxes and then the mailman takes them, well on Monday I mailed one but for some reason the mailman didn't take it because it was still there at 7:30 at night and then on Tuesday morning when I went to school it was gone, so someone other than the mailman took it. Just a week or so ago the same thing happened. Yesterday I mailed a movie and Netflix got it this morning so that one wasn't stolen. Jerks, Jese is going to call the office today and complain to them that someone is stealing our mail, they probably won't care and they will tell him to call the post office and complain. From now on he is going to drop off the movies at the post office because he works right next to it so it isn't like he will have to go out of his way to mail the movies. I forgot to bring a snack with me today to school so I had to buy a nut roll for $1!!! I am still hungry so I will probably buy another snack before my class starts. Okay well I don't really know anything else, bye!

Just another update

Hello again! Today is my homework day! I had one class at 11:00 and now the rest of the day I have nothing because my other class was cancelled! So I have untill 7:00 to get all of my homework done for the rest of the week and for this weekend, I think I can do it! Tomorow I want to make either m&m cookies or rochester cookies, I haven't decided yet, but I will only make them if all of my homework is done! I have a test in Business Law II tomorow so I have to study lots and lots for it because I have a problem of half way through class I start coloring on my notes instead of taking notes! Yesterday after school I got some cleaning done and then I made supper and watched tv, it wasn't too exciting! On friday we are going back to Waseca, Jese is going to work with Papa on Saturday and I am going to city wide garage sales! I need to look for another dresser because Jese doesn't have enough room for all of his pants so they always end up on the closet floor and it is really starting to drive me nuts-o!! Then Saturday night we are going to go to Club 57 to watch a band play! Okay well I guess I wasted enough time now so I better get started on my homework now!
Christa
Oh yeah, I forgot to say, Jese got a call last night from some guy in Stockton that wants him to tape his basement, he meet him last year so he is going to go look at the job tonight or tomorow night, and hopefully start it next week!

I can see the light...

Yes!!! Yesterday I was looking at classes for next semester and I was like hmmm...I wonder how many classes I really have to take.. I found out after this semester I only have 30 credits left to get my 150!! So I can take 18 or 15 in the spring and 12 or 15 in the summer and FINALLY be DONE!!! I am so excited that I am almost done!! But first I have to concentrate on doing super good this semester so my grades are better! Right now Pizza is rolling around on the floor with her toy fish, it is her favorite toy! Now Oreo is coming in to attack, poor Pizza now she will probably quit playing...yep now she is getting ready to attack Oreo! Now she is attacking the floor, I think she is nuts!! Last night after Jese was done with work he went to Walmart to buy a video game that came out at midnight, I would call him a loser but at least he didn't reserve it like Nick did, hehe!! Actually they are both losers, the only thing worth reserving or staying up untill midnight for is Harry Potter books and those are all done with now so now there is nothing worth reserving or staying up until midnight!! Okay well I really should get ready for my classes now! Bye,
Christa

ACHOO!!

Hello! This morning I woke up at 5:00 and had a sneezing attack, I didn't like it. Anyways I don't really know much today. I worked all weekend, it was boring once the football game started yesterday we got super dead. Today I had class at 11 and now I am sitting in one right now, it is super boring. He asked the class if anyone wasn't voting and someone said he wasn't because he didn't think it mattered, dummy what is he doing in college!! I work in 20 minutes, my class gets done in 10 minutes! Well I guess since I don't know anything I won't suck up anymore of your time!

Christa

Just a picture

Oreo broke her toy so she was waiting for Jese to fix it for her, she thought he was taking to long!

I have no title for today

This is the new meal I made the other day, it is from the Rachael Ray magazine, it is pasta shells, crushed tomatoes, garlic, tuna, parsley, salt, and pepper. It was yummy and super easy and fast to make. I made it on wednesday, I also made fall sugar cookies, which are way good, and rice crispie bars for the girls at work because one of them kept asking me for them so I finally brought some for everyone yesterday because I am the best receptionist EVER! Today I think I might be on the edge of being crabby so if you feel like making me mad today would be the day to do it. I think it is the gloomy weather. I am just sleepy and unmotivated to do anything. My afternoon class was cancelled so I have to be at work at 2:30, however they don't know it was cancelled so I really could show up at 3:00 but I won't because I gave up my thursdays so I really should get as many hours as I can get in on the days I do work. I hope not working as much will help me with my grades. I really am trying to study more this semester but I am still having troubles studing for my accounting class which is the one I really do need to do good in. I had a test in it yesterday and I didn't do so good, hopefully the next one goes better. I am going to read the next chapter today and this weekend do the problems that we are going to go over in class next week so that way if I don't understand it I will know before the test :) I also had a test in my marketing class, I am mad because I got 79.55% on it grrrr!! The good news is we have 6 test, or is it 7...anyways she drops our worse one so if we are happy with our grade we don't have to take the final! Hopefully I do good on the rest of the tests so I don't have to take the final! I want to sleep for the next 48 hours, will someone please come down here and work for me this weekend! I know I am a baby! On monday Jese started work at 8:15 am and he got home at 11:00 pm from work!! He did have two hours of classes in that time though so it wasn't all work. I feel bad for him because he has a super long day, but at least he doesn't have to many classes! My other classes are going pretty good. I have two quizes next week, one in tax and one in business law II. I also have a test in business law II on thursday! Okay well I am going to start reading my accounting now before I have to leave for work. Have a nice weekend!

Christa

Just another day...

Hello! Well I feel much better today! I called in sick to work so I could rest and I am glad I did because today I am about 80% better! That was the first time I called in sick to work since I worked there!! Today I got to my first class to find out it was cancelled so I have been sitting here for about an hour now waiting for my next one to start, which doesn't start til 11:00!! But now I finished reading a chapter in Business Law II and now I am going to read one for my Intro to Tax class so at least I will have less to do tonight when I get home! I hope we don't have a quiz in that class today, that would suck balls, last week he told us we were going to have a quiz today or thursday but he wouldn't tell us which day, jerk! okay well I am going to start reading the next chapter for that class!
Christa

I don't feel good...

My throat is REALLY sore today and my nose is super runny. I wish I could curl up in bed and sleep all day, stupid school, stupid work!! I have to leave in 10 minutes to go to class. The pictures are of my cake I made yesterday for Andy's party, I wish I wouldn't have used the white sprinkles, I wasn't thinking and I forgot you wouldn't be able to see white stars apart from white sprinkles!! It tasted yummy though so that is good! I don't really know much, I have two test and one quiz this week, hopefully they go okay, one is in accounting, so I am not to excited for it and I haven't really studied for it yet so I will have to do that lots on Tuesday and Wednesday. Okay well that is all I know for now so hopefully you have a nice day and stay warm!!

Hehe...funny article in the WDN

I found this article funny so I thought I would share it!!
Duck Stamp error sends callers to sex line
.WASHINGTON (AP) — People calling a federal phone number to order duck stamps are instead greeted by a phone-sex line, due to a printing error the government says would be too expensive to correct.The carrier card for the duck stamp transposes two numbers, so instead of listing 1-800-782-6724, it lists 1-800-872-6724. The first number spells out 1-800-STAMP24, while the second number spells out 1-800-TRAMP24. People calling that second number are welcomed by “Intimate Connections” and enticed by a husky female voice to “talk only to the girls that turn you on,” for $1.99 a minute.Duck stamps, which cost $15 a piece, are required to hunt migratory waterfowl. The government uses nearly all the revenue to purchase waterfowl habitat for the National Wildlife Refuge System. In 2006-2007, the latest figures available, duck stamp purchases brought in nearly $22 million.This year’s stamps, which feature a pair of northern pintail ducks, went on sale July 1 and are good through June 30 of next year. The error will not be corrected until next year’s duck stamps.The Fish and Wildlife Service, which administers the program, printed about 3.5 million duck stamps attached to cards with the wrong number. An agency spokeswoman, Rachel Levin, said it would cost $300,000 to reprint them.“I don’t know that it would be worth it to do a reprint,” she said Thursday. “That’s a lot of money we can be using for wildlife conservation. With all of the needs for conservation, it doesn’t make sense to divert money away from an important cause.” For those people who like to dial by letter, the card does include the proper 1-800-STAMP24.“As best we know, it was a typographical error that was not caught,” Levin said, stressing that the stamps are still valid.The agency first learned of the mistake a few days ago, when a duck stamp owner informed them about the glitch. Levin said the agency has not received any complaints.The error, which was first reported Wednesday by Denver TV station KUSA, is limited to self-adhesive versions of the stamps. The moistened version, which is printed in much smaller numbers, does not come with a carrier card.The government uses a contractor, Ashton Potter Security Printers of Williamsville, N.Y., to print the duck stamps. Levin said she did not know whether the error was made by the government or by the company.Ashton Potter’s president and chief executive, Barry Switzer, said that the company was provided with the wrong telephone number.“We reproduced the wrong number correctly,” he said. “We regret this whole situation happened, but we did our job properly.”

Okay I will quickly update!!

Hello! I know it has been a super long time! I have been really busy! Last week was the first week of classes. On Wednesday I got done with my classes at 3 and did homework from 3-12:00, with a 2 hour break in the middle to watch some tv! On thrusday I had class from 9:30-3:30 then I worked 4-7:30, I was a little bit crabby because it was to busy at work for me to eat so I didn't eat anything all day long, I was very hungry! Then Friday I went to class, did some homework, and went to work. Then Saturday, Sunday, and Monday I worked. It was super busy so on Sunday I stayed late and on Monday I came in at noon, but then is died off so I left at 5:30 because I was tired and didn't really want to work! Yesterday I had classes all day and got home and decided to go grocery shopping, we had to get lots of stuff, we were out of everything!! Now we are stocked up so hopefully we won't have to go again for awhile! Today I have class at 11 and then one at 2, I just wrote a paper that is due in my last class! It isn't quite as long as it was supposed to be but that is okay I am sure he won't even read it! Okay well I am hungry and have to eat breakfast and do some more homework before my class starts so have a nice day!
Christa

sorry its been a long time...

..I have been super busy, maybe tomorow I will update!

Back to the grindstone!

Hello! Well this weekend was supposed to be a busy one but it turned out it wasn't! On Saturday Jese and I were going to go to the state fair but after I got out of the shower he told me he couldn't walk because his back hurt so we ended up not going and just sat around all day. Then on Sunday I was supposed to go shopping in Rochester with Cassie but she didn't want to because it was nice out so Jese and I ended up going to La Crosse instead, I only found 3 shirts there. Then we went to Maurcies and Target in winona and then I got lots of new shirts! Yesterday I had my first day of classes. They weren't to bad since I only had two! Today I have 4 classes, my first one got done an hour early so now I am updating this and then I will start reading the first chapter for one of my classes! I get done at 3:20 today then I am going straight to work to get my hair colored, finally!!! Yesterday I got a call from my boss because she wanted to know if I would pick up hours but she wouldn't tell me when, but of course like an idot I said yes, who cares if this is going to my hardest semester I am sure I will be able to handle more classes!! I need to find time today or tomorow to start my online class, Jese is ahead of me on that! Well I guess I don't really know much just giving everyone the school update for today!

a sad sad day...

Pizza likes the bean bag chair!!
This is my schedual for next semester, and yes I did write tv shows on it so then I know when they are!!

So you are probably wondering why today is a sad sad day. It is a sad sad day because we just went to the book store and paid $760.00 on books, and we still have one more to buy and I didn't buy two of mine because I already own them!! My intro to tax book cost $200!!! Jerks haven't they ever heard of using old books who cares if they had old tax laws in them, just as long as we get the idea!!! Yesterday I was supposed to get my hair cut and colored but it ended up not happening so now I am going to do it on Tuesday after classes, hopefully!! I only have a few more days of freedom before school starts. That is probably a good thing though because if I have nothing I need to do I get bored and end up going shopping which is okay for 2 weeks but if it lasted longer than that it would probably end up badly!!! Today I have to work :( Jese doesn't though so he is going to play games ALLL day long, that is what he said, he said he is going to play one game for 5 hours and then another game for 5 more hours!!! I don't know how he can sit that long!! Last night I didn't sleep under any of the blanekets except for the comfrater!! I slept ontop of them, hehe!! I just fell asleep like that I didn't mean to!! Right now I am sitting in the study and Oreo is sitting in here with me on the desk, she is looking out the window. Pizza is helping Jese play video games, she likes to do that!! Okay well I guess I don't really know anything else so I will let you all get back to your busy (okay lets not lie, your boring uneventful) day!

4 long years....

4 long years ago yesterday Jese and I started our journey here at WSU. Our parents dropped us off, mama was sad about leaving me so she decided to buy a new car!! Now as this year approaches Jese is finally finishing up his first school! He will be done in December and I won't ever be done! He has made the Deans List at least 3 times because he is so smart and he will probably do it again one last time before he leaves! Then he will have to continue on to another school and I will be the one who is done laughing at him because I don't have to study for tests anymore!! Yesterday all of the freshman moved in and I thought it would be a smart idea to go to Target, boy was I wrong, it was a super bad idea. Apparently all of the parents decided to do all of their shopping for the freshmans dorm rooms once they got here, maybe so they wouldn't have to move as much stuff. Well needless to say it was super busy!! The has all of the lanes open and our Target never ever has more than 2 open!! I was mad because they didn't have any bean bag chairs and I wanted one for the study so I wouldn't have to go the library to study so once Jese got home we went on a bean bag chair search, we found some at Kmart. I am sitting in one right now, it is super comfy!! Last night we went swimming at 8:00 then my nose got soooo stuffy, it wasn't even funny. Now I only have about 1/4 of a box of kleenexs left! I am still a little bit stuffy but it is much better! Well I think I am going to go now!
Christa

What a day!!

Today is one of my best summer days....this is what I have planned to do, nothing!! I have no homework, no cleaning, no laundry, no work, no nothing that needs to be done!!!! I can do whatever I want to do!! I love these days and it is my last one until school is over!!

"A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person." -Mignon McLaughlin

So here's the thing, when you work at a hair salon people learn a lot about your life and give lots of opinions. I have learned that most middle aged people look down on young people when they get married. We have a new lady who works there and she thinks I got married too young because she got married young and her marriage ended in divorce. (she also doesn't believe in living together before marriage but she does believe in divorce, imagine that) Now when most people say comments about us young people getting married too young I just listen to what they have to say and then decided if I should really take to heart what they have to say. I find that sometimes people are still bitter over their divorce and they don't want to see others happy. Now sometimes, when people make say stuff I actually listen to what they say so I can learn from their mistakes. The divorce rate is so high right now I think it will start to go down soon, I think this because kids are growing up watching their parents get divorced and they are say "hey I don't want this to happen and I don't want to put my kids through what I went through" by the way I have heard this from people who did grow up with divorced parents. So these people are more cautious to get into a marriage so they can make sure they don't get divorced. But who knows, maybe I am too young to learn from others mistakes, or maybe people should quit judging people based on their failures. Did you know that after someone gets a divorce their chance of getting a divorce is even greater!
Anyways, I have decided I need to talk to my friends more since I have none down here and it gets kind of lonely sometimes, because sometimes you just need to talk to a girl and not worry about what you say is going to go throughout the entire family because most of them can't keep a secret!!! So today I talked to Alicia for half an hour!!! I don't think I talked on the phone to anyone besides Jese for that long before, well besides mama and amy because I always talk to them. It was nice though because there are just some things I can't talk about with family, and not Jese because he isn't a girl!!!! I am getting sick of a lot of the girls at work because they are getting really annoying because they are whinnier then ever!! Today I heard that one of the girls asked the manager if she could go home for an hour to have sex, and she was serious!!! Who in the world would have the guts to ask for something like that!!! There is defiantly something wrong with the people of this world!! So has anyone seen the picture in People magazine of our lovely President slapping a volleyball player's ass, well the caption said it was her back but it sure didn't look like it!!! I thought it was a little inapporiate for our President to been seen slapping girls asses that are probably more than half his age!!! Speaking of which, Hugh Hefner is old enough to be Kendra's great grandpa!!! That is really gross if you ask me!!! So when she was about 14 he was somewhere around 73, that is a little bit illegal, gross!! Jimmy Johns is sooo nice, they brought us sandwiches today at work for free!!! So when I got there there was still about 7 sandwiches so I ate one after I took all of the lettuce, sprouts, and tomato's off of it!! It was delicious!! Right now Jese is working but he is at home I wish I could work from home!! I am watching the Olympics right now and the American gymnastics girl is really trying hard not to cry because she got put into second place and apparently she should be in first but I don't really know because I haven't been really watching it!! Today I watched Jon and Kate plus 8, love that show!! I couldn't having 6 kids in my tummy and then having to take care of all of them plus twins!!! That would be super tough!! Most big families can have the older kids take care of the younger ones but when they are all the same age you can't do that!!! Jon must get paid lots of money because he is the only one who works, he does some IT stuff, I don't remember what!! Okay well I guess this is getting a bit long and I have to go potty now and then go to bed!! Night!!!

Clean Clean Clean!!

Hello! This morning I got up at 8:30!! I don't know why I don't sleep in later while I can!! Next week is my last week of summer :( My two weeks of summer are going by way to fast :( Remeber the days when I didn't take summer school and I could have the whole summer to do what I wanted!! Well I guess those days are over so I should just enjoy the time I have off while I can because pretty soon I won't even have those days off! Speaking of which, I am super jealous of Jese, he is going to be done with school in December and will probably have the next 3 months off after that, jerk! Well I guess that is okay because he will have to get a real job, hehe!! Anyways back to today, after I got up I ate some breakfast while watching tv! Then I took a shower, did the dishes, stopped by at work to get my check and bring it to the bank, and then I went home and did lots of cleaning so now I don't have to do any this weekend!! Jese helped me a little bit to once he was up and done working out (which by then I was pretty much almost done!) Then after I got done cleaning I ate lunch and then I spent the next hour curling my hair! I don't know why I work at a hair salon because then my hair has to look nice and that is just way to much work!! I really need to get it colored I am hoping to bribe someone to do it for me next week so it is done before school starts! I work in one hour :( I am not excited to be there, yesterday I didn't get my cleaning stuff done because I was doing inventory stuff so now I have lots to do today, well it really isn't to much, it is as much as I used to do so I am sure I will be able to handle it! Right now I can hear the marching band practicing! Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you the good news! When Jese and I came home on Tuesday we found a check for $321 wrote out to us!! We forgot about the return taxes from renting and that was what it was, we also found a note on our door letting us know that we are finally getting a new parking lot! Yea!!! But they are doing the parking lot the first week of school which means I have to walk all the way from the middle school with my super heavy bookbag :( Jerks, couldn't have they done it next week instead!! Okay well I don't really know anything else so I think I am going to go pack some snacks for work today!

Yeepee, the mail is finally here so I can go get that too!!

We're Back again!

Hello! Well Jese and I had a great time up north! We got lots of crappies and I got to eat crab legs!!! I made Jese a guitar hero cake but it didn't work to great. The frosting wouldn't change to black like it was supposed to, also I forgot my frosting knife thing so I had to use a butterknife :( It tasted good though so that is good! Oh yeah, and I didn't have enough wax paper to put around it while I frosted it so that is why it looks so messy around it. I got nice and tan!! Well I kind of got burned but that is okay!! I managed to pull off 1 A, 3 B's, and 1 C in all of my summer classes!! I think that is pretty good for me! I don't work today so I have to unpack everything and I will probably do the laundry too. Well I guess I don't really know anything else. Have a nice day!

holy schnickies!!!

Holy moly!! Tuition jumped again this semester!! Now it is over $4,000 a semester, way more than last year!! Hopefully that means my grants will also increase :) So far this week I went to Amy's so we could play games, I won yahtzee 5 out 8 games!! We also saw sisterhood of the traveling pants 2 yesterday, it was good but it combined the last 3 books all into one movie so everything was all messed up but it was still good! Either tonight or tomorow morning Jese and I are heading up north finally for the first (and last) time this summer! We haven't been up there since deer hunting!!!! Today I have to bake Jese's birthday cake but I won't frost it till we get up north. I also have to do the laundry, take a quiz, finish up my last homework stuff, and work at 4:00. Okay well now that you know all of the things I have to do today I am going to get started on them, only 6 more hours before I have to be at work!
