JOE MAUER IS AMAZING!!

GREAT DAY TODAY!!! Laid out in the sun, got "Kristin" Tan (definition below!) Read for awhile, RELAXED!! Watched the Twins win, with Joe hitting a grand slam, it was great, I was going crazy! Now I am excited to go to work tomorrow to rub it in!! Very tired, so I am going to bed!!! I HAVE TO WORK TOMORROW, ick!! Bye! KRISTIN TAN: Trying to tan, which according to Kristin is not very tan at all!!! (Maybe I should change it to a Ghost tan?!?) Ideas?! Love ya!

I'm tired of working! I want to retire now at 22!!

I just feel like I've worked at the same place for so long (3 years!) and it's the same thing over and over. I need something to break up the routine!!! Before I go crazy, wait...... I already am, so never mind that! okay day at work today, LONG day!!! Fun with co-workers as usual!! It's almost 5, so I should get some sleep, but the twins won today! Yah!! Joe didn't do so well, oh well, there's always tomorrow!! PLAN FOR TOMORROW (technically today!): TAN and read in the sun!! (The sun better be out!) Weekend plans: SATURDAY: Work!! (Ick!) SUNDAY: CHURCH (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) TAN and READ in sun Also, Twins game!!! Then work for 2 days, with the 4th off! Yah, not sure what's going on yet!! Will keep you updated meanwhile I am falling asleep at the computer, so good night! love!

Good week, so far!!

Things are still going wonderfully well at PCI, so that's good. Despite the parking issues, and having to park on the street, but hey- more exercise never killed anyone!! Listened to the twins game at work, don't you love my Twins updates, and they won. It went into extra innings and was driving me crazy! Joe did good, so that was great! A bunch of my co-workers and I are planning to go see Evan Almighty soon, so that will be fun. I told them this was a posse assignment, and that I would not take no for an answer, and Salvy actually said he would come (he never does anything with the group!) he said he wants people to donate for his ticket for the "Pay for your pal Sal" donation. (Sal is his nickname, even though I prefer Salvy!!!) I just kind of wish I had something going on to break up the routine. You know how it seems like it's the same thing over and over again. I feel like I've been working FOREVER, ahh!! And I thought being an adult would be easy, boy was I WRONG!! (Right, mom!) Sister was supposed to come home, but she isn't! (sad!) and I do miss brother Kevy, he is on a mountain with very little ways to communicate, with a birthday coming up. What is with the sommers guys having b-day's coming up and me having no clue what to get them!! Oh well!! I do have an off day on Friday, so I think I have another date to sit in the sun and try to tan my very white legs!!! I'll let you know how it went!! Love ya all!! Please comment, even though it is just mom and Jackie that do, that's okay! I hope it continues!!

We are all sinners!

Let's see, where did I leave off! Oh yes, Saturday!! So I slept in Saturday, then on dad's birthday, him, mom, and I went to Sam's grad party. It was fun too!! Got to catch up with relatives, and my little Sticha cousins are so cute. They named one of them Tommy, after my dad (tom!) and I made dad hold him, and he uncomfortably held him, it was funny!! Also, anytime someone said Happy birthday, he said, "No problem!" It was really funny. You have to know my dad, to know that he is hilarious!! Saturday night was a relaxing one, found out the twins were not on cable, so watched the end of it, with them winning (YAH!) The plan was to go to bed early, so I could be up for church, but that didn't happen, and it is something I am requesting prayers for! I am not a morning person, and I could not sleep last night, so when my alarm clock went off, I ignored it for awhile, and then decided to go to the second church service, so I could sleep in, and I'm not sure if I didn't reset my alarm or what, because I overslept and missed church. This is something that happens from time to time, and I hate it because God asks for 2 hours from me every Sunday morning, and in return I don't give it to him?!?! Hello, what is wrong with you Kristin?!?! He sends his son to die the most horrible death in the world, and all I do is sleep in?!?! Ahh!! Please pray for me, it may seem like a petty problem to others, but it really bothers me when I do this, so PRAY!! Well, after feeling guilty all day, I watched the Twins win, and Joe hit 2 home runs (now I can't wait to go to work tomorrow!) and then spent the afternoon out in the sun with a book. I got a little tan (for me!) and then just had a relaxing day! Also, it seems as my voicemail is no longer working, which sucks because it only worked for a day, so hopefully Marta can fix it tomorrow at work, even though she will laugh, because she is so into technology, and me?!?! not so much! well that's about it! hopping this week goes by quickly, I love you all!! :)

Great start to the WEEKEND!! (FINALLY!)

I had such a great day today!! things at PCI have been AMAZING!! Work was really good, had fun with the posse (in bits, little Zac was there in the morning, Salvy at night!). I delayed my lunch until like quarter to 5, so that was pretty cool!! After work I met up with Jessamyn, Marta, and Jessamyn's boyfriend Ben, and we proceeded to go Rollerblading. It was a lot of fun!! Before they wanted to go to a sports store, and get some new gear, but when we got there the prices were super HIGH, and they decided not to. It was kinda funny!! Rollerblading was a lot of fun. The girls were not very good, but it was fun to help them along and just hang out outside of work. We talked and laughed a lot! We also saw our friend Mai, from work, jogging with a friend, so that was crazy!! After that we went to the DQ and then were off to see Knocked-Up. It's not the greatest movie out there, but it was funny. The language, though was HORRIBLE!! I "swear" every word was a cuss word, so that wasn't cool. They also showed some pregnancy scenes, where I was like, "What the heck?" and then they showed it again, we had some laughs on the way home about that!! Tomorrow the plans are still the same, going to Sam's grad party, and then sunday I think Jackie is coming home, so we can celebrate dad's birthday and father's day! if you know my dad, do you have any ideas I can steal for gifts?!?! That would really help us out, as we are not sure what to get him!! Also, i think it is very important to mention that Marta hooked up my cell phone voicemail!! yah, so call me and leave a message!! thanks, love ya all!! :)

Great Couple of Days!!

I don't know if there is something in the air at PCI, but things have been going so well. It seems like everyone is relaxed and things have been fun!! I hope I didn't jinx things for Saturday! My mom had some church ladies over yesterday, and my childhood friend jackie (not my sister!) came, and I found out she and her husband are expecting!! Yah!! My friend Marta (everytime I talk to her, I sing Sound of Music!) is from Africa, and has the cutest accent, while anyway Jessamyn, Marta, and I were talking about contacts and I thought she said "contact" and I was like, "you only have one contact?" and in her cute accent she goes, "Contactsssssss!" and it was so funny, I literally laughed forever! Also no one at work says that I can babysit there kids. i told Salvy I was such a great babysitter, and asked if I could watch his daughter, and he just laughed at me. know I've been asking everyone around the office, and everyone is saying no!! I know they are doing it to drive me crazy, but it's really funny! Good times at PCI!! I think her, Jessamyn, and I are going rollerblading after work tomorrow, so that should be fun. i also am going to my cousins grad party on Saturday, so that should be fun with my family. Also my dad's birthday is Saturday, and I have NO idea what to get him. Probably watch the twins on Sunday, and relax!! Yah! Well i will post more later, I am tired! I love you all!

Long, but good day!

I had a very good day today!! It started out very fast, and then just when I was getting ready to listen to the Twins game, someone decided to show up and be ready to get trained by me!! Ahh, oh well!! The training went very well, and the Twins did amazingly! They won 9-0 which is awesome, because yesterday they stunk it up losing 10-1. Joe Mauer was amazing too!! It just seemed like a really laid back kind of day today when I was done training, yes I did work mom!! But the managers seemed like it's not busy, go ahead a relax in a way? Hope it's that way tomorrow!! Nothing much else to say!! Tomorrow is Wednesday, so week 1/2 over!! this weekend is my dad's birthday, my cousin's grad party, and I think sister is coming home on Sunday! Yah!! The grad party is for the Sommers side of my family, so it will be fun catching up with them. My cousin has such cute kids!! I am kind of tired, so I think I am going to go to bed! I love you all, keep sleeping well!! Ha ha! :)

Fabulous Weekend!!

I had a very good weekend, despite working yesterday!! Let's see where I last left off!!! Work Saturday was fine, nothing too exciting!! The Twins lost on Saturday night, which sucked! Grandma is still around, so been trying to spend time with her, since she leaves tomorrow morning. Didn't sleep much last night, but got up in time for early service at church, which is good for me!! Good service this morning, sang a couple songs that mom and I love!!! Some adventures during the singing, ask my mom if you are curious!! The plan was to sit out in the sun with a good book, and try to tan, didn't happen though. Really exciting and nerve wracking Twins game, that I couldn't tear myself from. Joe was AMAZING today! yah!! so, now going to work won't be so bad because I brag to my boss about how great joe was! Grandma leaves tomorrow, so she took us out to eat tonight, to that Kimball "high school lunches" restuaraunt!! (spelling?!?!) It was actually pretty good though!! Now for the week coming up, I'll be training others and listening to Twins games. I'll give you updates on how things go!! Love ya!!

Survival!!

Made it through this insane week at work!! Yesterday was not a good day! Usually when I train it goes by quickly, and the rest of my day goes quick to, but of course not Wednesday!! Today at work was fine though! It went by very quickly, so it's just insane that some days are better (and faster!) than others!!! While I was listening to the Twins game, at work we were losing and then on my way home from the gym, I found out that we won!! So that was pretty cool, even though it was my bosses' favorite Twin (Joe Mauer's back-up, I like to say!) who saved the day, but oh well. Maybe he'll forget by Saturday, but I don't think he comes in on Saturday, so yah!! Anyway, it's kinda late, just wanted to update you on stuff. Since Friday is technically my weekend, plans for tomorrow include hanging out with grandma (she's been here almost a week, and I haven't really talked to her about stuff!), swimming and yes still trying to become a little darker than ghost white!! Twins game tomorrow night, but dad thinks we are going to St. Cloud as a family, so that should be fun, even though Jackie is at camp, and Kevy's in Wyoming!! Well, since it's super early Friday morning (5:00 AM to be exact!) I should go to bed!! I get to sleep in, yah!!!! Better go before dad finds me awake and "yells" at me like I'm 10 again!! Bye!!

Fun day today!!

Hey guys!! isn't God great?!?! He really is!! I had a really good day today! It was just a fun one!! Listened to the Twins, and they won, and Joe was great!! Most of the posse was at work, so that was fun!! I made Salvy and Little Zac go on a break with me, and needless to say, "it was interesting!" I gotta say though, most guys can be piggish!! I also keep bugging Little Zac to get facebook, and he finally said if I wanted him on it so badly, I should do it for him. So I started it, but he needs to set it up with his email account. Sad, I was all like, "project time!!" Oh well!! Good day, though. And in case you were wondering, grandma is here and she drove. Well, that's all! Let's hope the rest of the week goes by as quickly as today! Bye! :)

Grrrrrreat Weekend!!

Had a very "relaxing" and fun weekend. It started out Saturday by SLEEPING in!! Yah, can't get much better than that! When I woke up though, it was raining and wet outside, so I was bummed, but after awhile the sun came out. So it was out on the pool deck for me to try and become tan, instead of a white ghost, or a red tomato. and just checked... yup, still white!! grrrrr!! Oh well, reading a book and sitting out in the sun is very good!! Saturday night I watched the Twins lose, which sucked, and went to bed early for church!! Woke up early for church! Worship was so great this morning!! I will sing, sing, sing unto the Lord for as long, as long as I live! Mom's friend Lynn came to sing and replace the usual piano player (pianist!!) while she was on vacation, and Lynn has such a great voice. I am getting to know my community group better, so that has been going really well. Then my parents and i went outside to lay in the "HOT" sun this afternoon!! Then it was off to some grad parties. We went to Hanley's (aka Careful- family story!) and then to adam magnuson's. Hanley (John-real name!) is a close friend of my brother Kev, and so I've gotten used to him as a brother whose always around! I mean ALWAYS, but he's cool!! We had fun at both grad parties, then we came home and know I am typing to you guys!! Start of a brand new work week- is it over yet?!?! And grandma should be around tomorrow, not sure how she is getting here, but that's the plan anyway. My mom's family is very "laid back!" Grandma said first she was driving, then didn't want to do that, so was thinking of coming by train, then mom told her about a cheap bus, and so I'm not quite sure how she is going to get here. Oh well!! I love you all!! Jackie, I've been praying for camp. Hope it goes well, tell me all about it when you get home (which I'm sure you will anyway, but still!!) Have a good week!! :)

Good way to end a bad week!!

Hi all!! Had a good day today!! I could not for the life of me sleep last night, so this morning I wanted very badly to throw something hard at my alarm clock, but I did get up and was on time to work! Work was very fast, which doesn't happen a lot!! Some of the posse were around, so that was fun. Jessamyn made an appearance to get her paystub, and I thought she was going to work, and she was like, "Nope, just getting my paycheck!" Salvy showed up later, so it was good to catch up with him. He's been in the Spanish department lately. I am in charge of doing some training next week, so I was putting getting co-workers schedules, and setting up training classes. Training is something I like to do. When I first started it was a bit intimidated, but know that I am used to it, it's kinda fun! I was trying to delay lunch as long as possible, like everyone at PCI does, and then it ended up being almost 7:30 when I went! Kinda cool!! Then it was Joe Mauer's return to the line-up. I have to admit I was nervous. He got a triple though, so I was glad about that!! The Twins lost though, but it was good seeing Joe back in the lineup. After work, I went to the gym and worked out hard, which was good. I think I hurt my ankle or foot or something, but I am planning to relax this weekend and go swimming so that will probably help!! looking forward to go weather tomorrow, sitting outside in the sun with a good book!! Relaxation from a crazy week!! Yah!! Have a good weekend everyone! Love ya all!!

Every have a good day go terribly wrong?!?!

This was my day today, and it happened multiple times during the day! I was just starting my shift, listening to the Twins game. And we decided to be bad, and were losing 4-0. Then we come back and were ahead, so I am all excited. Then my boss decides to talk to me about a "project!" which I was like, "Sure no problem!" Easy stuff!! Then towards the end of the game, my boss comes back to talk to me about possibly not doing QA (quality assurance!) listening to calls and monitoring, they are not sure if they want me to do it or not. WTC (what the crap?!) I feel like I do stuff for them all the time, and they give me stupid reasons why I am not doing something I want to do, and just beating around the bush. It seems like anytime someone at work has a complaint about me, they tell my boss, who tells me, but that person never comes to me directly. It is so annoying. I'm not sure what to do. They want me to be all "professional" and "Mature", which I understand, but sometimes I just wanna be a kid. I remember when I told my mom when I was little that it had to be A LOT easier to be an adult. You get paid to go to work full time, and not school. Boy was I wrong! My mom reminds me a lot too!! I missed the end of the game, we still ended up winning, but talk about bad timing. Please pray for me!! The Twins did win!! So that was great! The rest of my day was good. I love my co-workers so much. I sat by Mishay, and Marta! whenever I think of Marta, or talk to her, I sing the Sound of Music! Why you might ask, because Marta was the second to last Von Trapp!! Duh!!! (Watch the movie, it's wonderful!) So the rest of my work day was great, then my other boss tells me that Joe Mauer hit another set back. So I was bummed, until I got home and found out it was a lie, which I should've known. Then I come home and find out my cousin Sam won her 3rd State championship in golf. She is amazing, and has a full ride scholarship to the U next year. Yah!! Dad was happy he was in the shot on TV for less than a second. Funny stuff!! Well I am really tired, so I am going to "hit the hay!" Does anyone say that anymore?!?! PRAY! Love ya all! :)

laundry not done!!

False call!!! Wow, a double post!! I haven't done that yet!! Well, thinking of going to bed!! Have a good week, if you guys ever have prayer requests, you can post them here, and then we can get a bunch of people praying for ya. Just a random thought!! Love ya!!

hi guys!!

Just wanted to say hi!! Nothing really going on, I am back to my normal schedule for tomorrow, but I am suprisingly tired, so I might end up going to bed soon!! (Stop laughing Sara!!) Well, my laundry is done, so not much else to add!! Good day today!! Very lazy, watched the Twins lose-sad!! joe mauer expected to come back next Friday, guess who has to work late on that Friday?!?! Grrr!!! Laundry, right. Gotta go!! Love ya guys!! :)

Lazy Day!!

Since today is my day off, I wanted to spend it outside reading in the sun, but obviously that did not happen. So most of it was spent inside, but hey.... I'm glad I had a day off!! Also, the Twins are on tonight, so that should be fun. No word on Joe Mauer's progress and I know all my "readers" are interested in his progress, so I will keep you posted. I am now done working early, so I am kinda glad about that. I did miss my posse because I was leaving early. I just love sleeping in, so... Not much else has been going on for me. Just working, and getting money. I am considering moving out of my parents (i do think it's time!) so if you see something cheap in St. Cloud, let me know!! Plus it's graduation time, so planning to go to some grad parties!!! Well, that's all folks!! LOVE!!
