The twins season is over, which makes me heartbroken!

I seriously didn't think another sport, besides skating would crush me as much as much as the twins! they played chicago for the last spot in the playoffs, and sadly they lost. it was 1-0, and i am so bummed out! i seriously was so nervous for the game, and felt really nausceous! AHHH!! i hate that the season is over, and the interviews in the clubhouse were hard to watch! it was a good season boys, we need to look at the positive, and remember that we are a force to contend with next year! i'm excited for it already! haha! although joe did win another batting title, so that is great news! it just seemed like since justin morneau was having batting issues, so was everyone else! oh well! i still love my twinkies!

but guess what, today was actually pretty good, despite getting like zero hours of sleep, okay it wasn't zero, but i sure tossed and turned for a long time! work was actually not as busy, but i did talk to this one consultant who basically lied to my face, it was horrible! she misunderstood what i told her, and so she tried to change her mind, it was kinda funny, but seriously lady! it was crazy. so work went pretty good, especially for it being month end, and pending was not busy, and jayne started to do it on her own, so hopefully that goes well!

guess what i am doing this weekend: lisa and i are going antiquing, can you believe it? I think its hilarious, but i know it will be fun! we are then going to do some winter clothes shopping, and then hang out, we were planning to watch the twins in the playoffs, but you know how that turned out, now i am crushed again! i called my dad and he knew i was going to call sad, because he watched! but anyway, lisa and i are going to go to buffalo, and then i think stop at my parents house and see our new kitties, HOORAY!

it will be fun, i'm really glad to have a strong christian friend that i work with, its awesome! so now i just gotta get through this week, and last night i started my packing/do/buy list! haha! i do that everytime a trip is coming up! i think i am going to get my haircut with lisa as well, yah!

well i better go to bed, i am SUPER tired! now i just gotta figure out what i am going to do until next spring! oh wait, skating starts, YAH! i am so excited about the trip, it will be fun! :)

Its not even month end, quite yet, but it sure feels that way!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


what a day......................

it was pretty bad, just a bunch of calls, all the TIME! Then the stuff i do that takes two minutes, took an hour, AHHHH!!! plus its not even month end, its just... well, a monday! ICKY! i think i should call in sick, just kiddin! i realized i've almost made it a year without calling in sick!!!

haha!

i did take a lot of good calls, it was just a long day, then i get stuck with the last call of the day and she was 8 months pregnant, and would not hang up, and i was going over to Lisa's to see her place, and she had to wait! whoopsie! i better not get the last call tomorrow!

but lisa's house is HUGE, she shares it with two of her sisters, and a friend, and they have a huge wrap around deck, SUPER cool! her sister has a SUPER walk in closet too!

now the not so good news, the tigers didn't beat the white sox, so now we have to play them in Chicago tomorrow, this is getting ridiculous, we better beat them, thats all i gotta say, as well as "if you want something done, you gotta do it yourself, i guess!"

well pray for me to get through this week, and i hope to have good news about the twins being the central division champs!

also, one more thing, my parents bought a family of cats, and they did it after i move out, now i love cats, and hate dogs, and we have a dog FOREVER, and cats when i move out, how did that work?

oh well, now i can't wait to go home and play with them!

plus another bad way to start out my day, i forgot to record my soap, i got the last 10 minutes, GRRRR!!!

wow, this is quite a pile! hopefully tomorrow goes a lot better!

Twins win, but still not winners of there division, at least not yet!

So here's what happened (twins wise, then i will tell you day wise!)

so the twins needed to win today, and they needed Chicago to lose, well we won (hooray!) but Chicago won, so now Chicago will go play Detroit tomorrow, and if Chicago wins then we will go to chicago and play them in a playoff match, which i hope detroit just clobbers chicago, that would be WONDERFUL! also its pretty much guaranteed that joe won the batting title, so thats awesome!

so now day wise: i went to calvary, which is three houses down, so i walked over there, and needless to say it was kinda bizarre. The pastor was very dramatic, and i mean more dramatic than Vern at the kimball church. he would either whisper or SHOUT, and then he moved around, it was CRAZY! also the service went 1 1/2 hours, and the pews were so uncomfortable, so that i couldn't concentrate. i'm thinking calvary isn't the church for me, but you never know. i am going to pray about it and see what God has in store! please pray for me too!

then i had a quick lunch and went over to sara's to scrapbook and watch the Twins, when i got there i found out that she was recording something so we couldn't watch the game, she said that she didn't think that we were going to watch the game, silly girl this is the last game of the season!! crazy girl, so i came home for the end of the game, and then went back. We got three pages done, so that was good, then we did some wii fitness!

then lisa called and wanted me to come over and see her place, but i still needed to go grocery shopping, and sara tired me out, so i think i am going to go over there after work tomorrow night, so that will be fun!

well that was my crazy day, also joe has pretty much won the batting title, but i am still waiting to get that confirmed!

well have a great week everyone! go TWINS (and Detroit!)

Today was FABULOUS, except for some parts!

so i slept in, which was FABULOUS, and then i watched the twin lose, which was sad! justin morneau has been struggling, so it wasn't a pretty game, at least it wasn't as bad as yesterday!

but the white sox did lose today, so all we need to do is win tomorrow, and if chicago looses, then we win the division, and hopefully joe will win the batting title! YAH! :)

during the game, i took jamie to the new library, which was really cool! its MASSIVE, but very nice! i'm excited to go back and check things out again!

then i went to a worship thing at westwood, which was AMAZING! there was a really good song i liked, and its just so amazing to be able to connect with other Christians, while worshiping. I caught up with my friend Michelle from Creative Memories, so that was good! also caught up with my friend Jenny, and met her sister and some friends, and they were all really nice. jenny is getting married next year, and her fiance led worship, and afterward they were so cute! :)

then i just got done with my devotion, and the worship was great, i think because i focused on the lyrics and on what we were actually singing, as opposed to just singing along, so it was really good. i really like the church, so we shall see what happens for tomorrow, i am going to check out calvary which is right down the street, so i will just walk over there! i love that everything is so close, its great! haha!

well, tomorrow scrapbooking and watching the twins tomorrow! go twinkies! :)

the twins lost! :(

so it was a good day. i got sent to the file room with jayne, which is always fun! we kinda got a bit gossipy, but i think it helps because we started together, so its nice to mingle! haha!

basically i was EXHAUSTED all day, guess i couldn't sleep because of all of the excitment of the twins game last night, and the day ended up being busy, when usually fridays are SLOW!

then lisa and i ordered pizza hut and watched the beginning of the twins game, and they did end up losing, but so did the white sox, so its still all good!

then i did end up getting off early, so i went to sara's to watch the end of the game, since i don't have the cable channel that its on, so that was fun!

now i am just chillin, and am excited to go to the new library, check it out along with some books! that will be good! then i will watch the twins and do some laundry tomorrow afternoon! go twinkies!

i am also planning on going to the westwood worship, so that will be fun, and sleeping in tomorrow, which i am SUPER excited about! well have a great night everyone! :)

TWINS WIN AGAIN, i am sooooooo excited!

They came from behind, it was wonderful. Boy do i wish i was there! lisa and i had lunch together and watched the beginning, and then took another break together and watched more. it still wasn't over when we left, so i came home listened on the radio, since i don't have that stupid channel, and they won in the 10th inning, i was jumping up and down and trying to call lisa. her sister beat me to it! HAHAHA!

it was a great game, and a great day! not to busy, and lisa said i can come over if we both get off work early tomorrow. at least the games are on local channels this weekend, it will be a weekend to relax and watch the twins win the division title.

they are half a game ahead right now, so that is AMAZING!

i also have plans to take my roomate jamie to the library, and to go to a worship thing at westwood, which should be fun. not sure what church i am going to try out on sunday, but i will let you guys know.

i also think sara and i are going to be scrapbooking, so hooray for the weekend getting closer! haha!

well have a great night, and go twinkies!!! :)

Twins win again, HOORAY!

So today was FABULOUS! i started work, and then it was over in a blink of an eye, so that was nice. I worked 3 hours, then my mom and sister came over, and looked at the house, then we went back to my parents and had pizza and hung out, my family is FABULOUS!

then when jackie and kev went to youth group, me, mom, and dad watched the twins win. We are now half a game back, so that is terrific!

then the game ended when the sibs got back, so we hung out some more and now i am back home chillin' and making plans with lisa to watch the twins game during our lunch break. we have a TV in the break room downstairs, so we are going to watch for as long as we can.

then the weekend is coming up, which i am very excited about! HOORAY!

well i better get to bed! nighty night!

the TWINS won, HOORAY!!!!

Isn't that great, I think today was a great day because of that, no really bad calls, and it was fun because i was nervous all day, and then when it was game time Lisa and i kept each other updated if the other one was on the phone, it was pretty funny when we would email each other, and see the others expression of yah, if we did good, or ick, if chicago did good, but we ended up crushing them 9-3, so hopefully we can continue to do that for tomorrow, and the rest of the series. i am so excited for tomorrow. i get off at 4:30, so it will be nice to not really work at all, and then meet up with Jackie and show off my place, and then we will probably go to house #1, parents remember, and hang out, and then i can watch the twins game with my fam! HOORAY! when i found out i got a cable, i was so excited, but then i found out i don't get the twins station, of course! GRRRRR!!

it was fun because lisa and i took our break in the breakroom downstairs with the TV, and watched the game for about 10 minutes, and then one of the janitors came in, and was like "what's the score?" it was pretty funny!

also i ended up following lisa into work today, which was funny, and then andrea came in, so we all walked into work together, which was fun!

now i am cheering on the twins, and glad that i will be able to watch it! YAH!

have a great night, and go twinkies! :)

monday blahs!

Is it the weekend yet? so work went fine, it was just that I was so tired, i think i got too much sleep, but work was work, so nothing new there.

now just getting ready for the white sox to come to town so we can crush them, to be honest though i am nervous, come on Twinkies, I want u to win the world series, show the others how its done!!!

plus joe is leading for the batting title right now, so that would be terffic if he won that, and Morneau wins the MVP, so much for a rebuilding season for the Twin, nope!

well have a good night everyone and i will update you about the game tomorrow. my sister is going to be around wednesday, so i am pretty excited about that. i only work until 4:30 on wednesday and then we are going to hang out, and chill at house #1 (my parents house, remember?) haha!

well have a great night! :)

It was a good day!

so the day started out with me going to Westwood, which was good, it turns out my friend couldn't make it, but i really enjoyed the worship and the message. Also i met found out that a girl i work with goes to church there, so we chated for a bit, and that was interesting!

then i got a newspaper, i turning into my dad, looking for coupons in the sunday paper, and then chilled out, and Lisa and I met at b-dubs to watch the twins and hang out, which was really fun. She is in the process of packing, so i know she was excited about the break! :)

after that i came home and watched the twins win, so that was nice. Joe is doing so great, and he is currently leading the batting title!! HOORAY!

now if they can just make the playoffs and win the world series, that would be AMAZING!

then i did some shopping and basically worked around the house, i vaccumed, did laundry, which i am still doing, and dishes, and have been kicking back, which is nice. I guess i am weird because some days i like to chill out by myself and some days i love to be around others! CRAZINESS!

haha! oh well, i feel ready for the week, so that has been nice! have a great week everyone!

What a day, not what i had thought though!

HAHA! so you know how yesterday i was complaining because after "work" i was going to just chill, and that i did want to hang out while, let me start at the beginning!

so this is what happened:

woke up kinda later, and went to work to "scrapbook", i love saying that! sara had a blast, and so did I! it was fun to help her with her album, scrapbooking is very addicting! :)

we ended up sitting with another girl and a friend who used to work at CM, she left soon after i came, and there were very nice! i guess it was good to mingle, although our plan was to meet up with the pod and others, and all sit together, but it was still fun!

then i came home, and was in the mood to hang out, so i called my dad to see what he was doing since i knew mom was at a stamping party, well mom answered and said that she was meeting my sister in buffalo to go antiquing, which i am not all too hopped up on, but i decided "what the heck, hanging out with my mom and sister will be fun!" so i drove home, and it was fun to meet up with jackie. i am not much of an antiquer, but i was looking for a small, since my place is small, drop leaf table, i found a super cute one that was TOO expensive, but the search was kinda interesting!

then i get a call from sara saying that she is done with the shopping, since that is what she was planning to do, and that we should get together and scrapbook later, haha! (i told u it was adicting!) so i told her i would call her when i was back in town, and then my mom took jackie and i out for lunch, so that was fun! then jackie wanted to show us a table she was looking for, and we decided to go to target, which i replied with "HOORAY!" haha!

actually later on we decided to go to maple lake and look at some other places, and so i drove with jackie to catch up, and mom raced off in her car, since she thought we knew where we were going, we didn't though! jackie was kinda annoyed, like "I am not taking you all the way to kimball, and this is why mom needs a cell phone!" pretty funny, we finally found mom at an antique store, we stopped looking for a white car, which she drives and decided to find a store, and sure enough we found her twiddling her thumbs! it was funny!

then i got home, dad gave me some "terlit" (toliet) paper, and some other stuff, he's so nice. tells me that i need to buy stuff, and then gives me stuff, oh well, hes a sweety! he also gave me a rundown of our trip to arizona, and we decided to go to vegas! HOORAY! I am so excited, even though we aren't going to 4 corners, where utah, arizona, new mexico, and colorado touch, but still going to three states ain't bad! i am really excited, it will be fun!

then i came home, and BEFORE that lisa text me and wanted to know if we could go out for supper, guess she got sick of packing, but i had plans with sara, which was CRAZY, that the night before i wanted to chill with people, and then everyone wants to hang out with me. i thought it was especially bad when my mom and dad had dinner plans with another couple, ahhH!!!!

i told lisa we could meet tomorrow for lunch, and then she said yes, and then later she might have plans, but i think i just want to chill, and sara said that her plans fell through for tomorrow, so who knows what i am going to do, but i like it!

it was a FABULOUS day, because then i went back to sara's we played "wii wii" (wii!) and did our fitness, and i lost two pounds! HOORAY!

so that is my great day, sorry it took so long! oh yah, sara and i decided to go to Noodles and company, since its a bit healthier, and then we scrapbooked and did one page in two hours, FUN TIMES!!

haha! more updates tomorrow, i am WOMPED!!! nighty night!

Its the weekend, HOORAY! (I think!)

So i should be excited because its the weekend right, well i am not sure why I am bummed. Maybe its because the whole world is BUSY this weekend! i want to hang out with people, weird when I want to chill out i have something going on, when I want to do something my schedule is open. i think i need distractions because i don't want to be lazy! i asked sara to hang out but she is busy sat and sun!

lisa is packing
kevy's in wisconsin
mom's at a stamping party
jackie's in the cities
suzie's in the cities
tasha never called me back

maybe i will go home and hang out with my dad, which would be fun! but i do have some shopping i need to do, so that might be good to take care of.

so my day started out good, i went to the employee sale and there was SOOOOO much stuff, it was great! jill got like a hundred things, okay maybe that is a bit exageratted!! Haha!

then i did some shopping and went to work, which was good, not busy, then we found out that our system was going through maintance, no worries, it only takes a bit, then it stops working, and now its busy because everyone is wondering why the system is not working! AHHHHHH!!

it did end up getting slow, which was nice, but then the twins played and they lost HORRIBLY, it ended up being 11-1, they better come back fighting, its that pitching staff and bullpen, although we didn't get to many hits either, but still! nick blackburn, who looks just like joe mauer, which makes me happy and makes me like him, lasted only 1 1/3 innings, the pitcher yesterday didn't even make it out of the 1st inning, even though we ended up winning! get yourselves together boys, its time to win the division and then the world series, i can picture it!

now i am getting sleepy, so i am going to go to bed! if anyone reads this and wants to hang out this weekend, let me know! haha!

Woooo hooo!! the twins won, its about time! :)

YAH! they were down, but they came back, which makes me SOOOO happy! I've been feeling like its not going to happen, but now they are back. i hope i don't sound like a band wagoner, because i really think the twins can do it, its just when they keep losing, it also helps that the team they are chasing keeps losing too! HOORAY for the white sox losing today!

so my day went pretty good! i have plans to go to our CM employee sale tomorrow morning, so it will be the first one, and everyone gets pretty excited about them, so YAH!

then i've just got to get through work tomorrow, and then i have scrapbooking in the morning, and then the rest of the weekend, i have ZERO plans. I had hoped to get some plans, but no body is calling me back! oh well, it will be nice to chill out! i just worry about when i do this because i love food, so you can defintely pray that i don't scarf everything down, and get some excersie! maybe sara will come over and go for a walk with me! i just wrote on her facebook, so hopefully this works out. i am wanting to find a gym to go to, but they are expensive, but we shall see!

well, i should get some sleep since the sale is SUPER early, but not sure when i will get up! haha! oh PS kevy called AGAIN, except this time he wanted to borrow my car, but at least hes calling, thats a good sign. its something i've been praying about for some time, about our relationship. then i guess he talked to jackie and is going to borrow her car, YAH! I hate his big truck!

well gotta go, nighty night!

SLOWWWWWWWWWWWWW day!

Which don't get me wrong, i do like those days! YAH! i did have some not bad calls, so that was pretty nice!

found out that lisa's sister broke some bones in her back, ouch, so lisa left early since her mom was taking her to the hospital! i ended up checking on those twinkies, and we lost! i am SOOOO mad! grrrrrr! (can you tell?)

also i was talking to a super nice older lady consultant and as she was asking me something all of my shelves with my work magazines came crashing down and then she proceeded to ask me about them when i couldn't find them since they were in a pile around me. my boss was laughing too, because the consultant kept talking as they crashed, and thats loud, so I was like "I'm sorry, what was that again?" pretty funny!

my boss was like now you can throw stuff out that you don't need, which was true! even though i am a pack rat and didn't throw out as much as i probably should've! haha!

now i am just chillin and getting ready for the weekend to get here. I am excited about scrapbooking on saturday morning, since my co-workers and i have plotted a plan so we can all sit by each other, since sara is coming, but she has to leave early, so i don't want to sit by ourselves and then just me! WAY SAD!

well have a great night everyone, please cheer for the twins, i so BADLY want them to make the playoffs!!!! :)

Today was pretty good!

It was very good because we had what was called a "quality meeting" and all of the managers and leads were there, so we all knew something was up when we got there, but it was basically like our showcase convention for consultants, so that was fun. We also had the co-president there and she spoke to use about what an inspiration we are to her, which was actually really cool, to hear her say that we are more important than she is, in terms of CM. She was great, then we basically talked about calls, and they issued us a goal, to have the best customer service in the next three months, and we got prizes and it was just really fun!

after that it was pretty slow, so that was nice. it was a pretty good day, now just winding down and wishing it was the weekend. marta and i are going to get together in a couple weeks, so that is exciting, hopefully the rest of the girls will come too like Hrba, and jessamyn!

the twins were behind and then caught up and it went into extra innings, and then we lost! dang it, now we are 2.5 games back since chicago won today! GRRRR!!

well, i think i am just going to chill. i keep contacting people to see whats going on this weekend, but I still have scrapbooking this weekend, so that will be good! maybe i should go to a twins game with my dad! good idea (talking to myself!) haha! well, have a great night all! PLEASE COMMENT, as that would make me happy! thanks!

The Monday Blah's!!!

So today went like any other monday, SUPER busy!! It was CRAZY busy! took some calls, i transferred a call to our digital department, and I could hear one of our reps telling my boss that I transferred the call when it was digital, and it went to the right place!! Hello, not sure what she was talking about! things like this drive me crazy! i feel as though i get all of the digital calls and then i transfer them and they complain that we are sending calls to them, well then train me on digital if they are sick of getting the calls, even though I don't want to, but man alive! okay sorry for the complaining, but I got it out of my system....

now the sad part: the twins lost! :(

now the good part: Joe hit a homer, HOORAY!

now even more sadness: Its only monday, and the week just started! I have no plans for the weekend, except for scrapbooking in the morning, and i kind of in the mood to make plans, which if i had a free weekend in the past it was like HOORAY, now i can chill! i think i am growing up people, haha!

so things are going well at my new place, i'm getting a long with my roomates, I think I might invite them to lunch or something, just so we can get to know each other, that would be good!

well thats about it, now that my scanner is working, i will be scanning more pictures on facebook, YAH for my scanner that cost one dollar! :)

What didn't I do today?

It was that CRAZY, but it was fun! It started out with getting no sleep, and then having a million decisions to make about what church to go to this morning. I went to look for Westwood to go with my friend, and couldn't find it, and then I eventually found it and i was SUPER late, so i ended up going to Crossroads, which was very good too! I met up with some friends, and will keep this church in mind when I make a decision. Although I just talked to God about it, and basically said that I want it to be his decision, and not mine.

then after the whole church thing, I went home and watched a bit of the twins game before having to meet my friends at the SKATIN Place, HOORAY!

when i left the score was 4-0, them! ICK! and then we found out they lost, way sad! :(

skating was SOOOO much fun though! it was me, jill, and Lisa and then Andrea came later with her adorable son! it was good exercise too, jill kept us going! haha!

we also ordered pizza and there was a guy there who had been skating FOREVER, and he was so good, and doing tricks. it was cool to see since he said he does some ice skating too! :)

after that the girls came over to check out my place, and then i ended up going to my parents house (that's hard to say its there house, and not mine.) how about I just say house #1 is my Kimball house, and house #2 is my st. cloud home!! that sounds better! dad convinced me because he got me milk and toliet paper, who could pass up free things. My parents are wonderful, and i forgot to mention that my brother called me last night, and we chatted for a few mintues! itwas GREAT!

my dad and i watched a 9/11 special just because we were on top of the WTC in August of 2001, talk about cutting it close huh? so i think it impacted us a bit more since we were just there, and i am not trying to say that it didn't impact others because they weren't there!

then after that i came back to house #2 (HAHA!) and am now chilling and adding more pictures to facebook, which is fun because i have a scanner that works! HOORAY!

well you can defintely pray for my week. Also the White sox won there double header, so we are back to be 1.5 out of first! GRRRRRRRR!

oh well! we still have some more games left, go twins! byebye! :)

The twins!

PS the twins won both of there games in there day/night double header! HOORAY!!!

Now i am going to bed, nighty night!

Super great day, but very tired!

Today was great! I woke up kinda late, but then Sara came over and we went to red lobster for lunch, and then went to the gopher store. I didn't find anything except a USB cable i need for my printer, so that was cool! it was 99 cents, although the woman that rang it up was SO RUDE!

Then we went to walmart, and then we went to Sara's and played Wii Fit, which i say is Wii-wii! HAHA! it was fun, sara also bought the price is right, which was fun too!

then we went back to my place, and sara assembled my pantry, which was SO GREAT! it took awhile, but she plugged away and it looks so great! YAH!

now i am super tired, and i have to get up for church in the morning! AHHHH!!! then i think i am going to go home and get some things, and some of my pictures since i figured out how to work the scanner, hooray! then off to the skating place with my podmates, which will be so fun!

YAH for a great day, but i gotta go to bed! g'night! :)

S

The weekend started a bit early for me!! Hooray! :)

So i got off work kinda early today, so that was SUPER nice! work went pretty good, nothing as dramatic as yesterday, thats for sure.

i talked to my dad and he's not sure if him and my mom are coming over! hello, i told him about this earlier in the week. Now sara wants me to come over SUPER early! AHHHH!

plus one of my roomates wants me to feed her cat while she goes. she wants me to clean its bathroom too, but i don't think so! HELLO! i'm not her housekeeper, grrrrrrrr!!

i guess u could say i'm kinda annoyed! "so ANNOYED!" as jackie would say!

also the twins got rained out, so they are playing a double header tomorrow, craziness! so that will be exciting!

plus the Lord is so loving toward everyone, you can defintely pray for me to be that way with everyone.

so i'm shopping and chillin' tomorrow with sara, and then on sunday i'm checking out a new church and going to the skatin' place with my co-workers! whooo hooo!!! now i feel better. i guess i should go to bed, otherwise sara will kill me!

rude people really bug me!

I talked to a SUPER rude consultant from Canada, and they say Canadians are so nice, eh? just kidding, usually they are really nice, but i told her our digital department had closed, and she was like all rude about it? then i said "i'm sorry, is there anything else i can help you with?" and she hung up on me, and probably called back, of course, after she asked for my name. i should've lied to her and said some crazy name! that would've been fun.

it was pretty slow though, so i pretty much talked to sara on facebook all night, which was really fun! i told her my cat story, which is really my roomates cat and i get the feeling the cat doesn't like me and taunts me all the time, and sometimes jamie (one of my roomates) leaves the bedroom door to my room open and the cat is like "haha, jamie let me down here!" but i shoo her back up, and get her back! haha! now jamie wants me to feed the cat while she is gone over the weekend, i mean i know its easy, but some people are so in love with there animals, and i think jamie is, i don't want to kill it or anything, ya know?

but i am so glad that the weekend is coming up! HOORAY! i am going to chill out tomorrow after work, which i hope i get off early since its been slow and i'm the only person that hasn't left yet this week. then i just found out that my high school homecoming game is friday night, so if i get off early i might go there, not sure yet!

wow, i just have so much news. i had a SUPER crazy dream last night that i just went ahead and purchased some kind of vacation package, thinking it would be fun to do and then needed to bail and my dad was SOOOOO mad at me, because i knew i wasn't going to go, but wanted to book the hotel and everything anyway, which is so odd. i kinda woke up nervous like "uh oh, what did i just do?" but i didn't purchase a vacation to another country, don't worry!

what else happened, lisa and i went to the file room and sang christian songs, which is fun. i think we are planning to go to the Matthew West concert, which would be so fun! there is also a shawn mcdonald concert at northwestern, that we might go to, since we went to see him earlier this year, so who knows? lisa is just super busy with moving, which i know how she feels and am so glad that i am moved in. its nice! it is beginning to feel like home, which is great.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, the twins lost again kansas city, who SUCKS! so lisa and i cheered on toronto who were playing chicago, and they won, so that was nice. it was odd to cheer for a baseball team besides the Twins! i think joe would be okay with that though!

also, the most important thing, its September 11th! i still can't believe its been 7 years since the attack on the WTC. i can't believe my dad and i went on top the WTC in august of 2001, which is so crazy. it is so crazy for me because i was there, and saw how wonderful it was, and to go back after and see all the ruble was pretty hard. i do want to see the new WTC when they go up!

hmm, anything else. i just have so much to comment about! i guess if i think of anything before i go to bed, i will be back! haha!

Love you all! :)

The fileroom again, HOORAY!

Okay I'm a dork, but that is okay with me! I like the fileroom, this time I worked with Jill, and we had fun! she loves the oldies, so i always listen to the oldies with her, and the Christian station when I file with lisa! haha!

i am SUPER excited about this coming weekend! i did find out that my high school homecoming game is this weekend, and I have to work, i was excited to go back, because I went last year and it was a lot of fun. oh well! i might still get off early, so there is always the posibility of going, we shall see.

my weekend looks to be full, my parents and sara are coming over saturday and we are going to build my pantry! YAH!

then i think sara and i are going to go shopping, so that will be fun.

Then sunday I am going to westwood church with a friend, and then meeting my co-workers at the skatin place, and then they are coming over to see my new place!

one of my roomates Jamie was so funny this afternoon. i was leaving for work and she was wondering when I would be off. she thought, since i came home for lunch the other day, that i got off work earlier! it was pretty funny!

and my day at work was pretty good, so that was nice. plus its almost the weekend! i did talk to a consultant named Tuesday, so that was kinda funny! too bad it wasn't Tuesday, so I could say
Is this Tuesday?" haha!

The twins won today as well, so they are now 1/2 a game out of first, you can do it! :)

Welcome back to the file room!

HOORAY! You know me, I love the most boring jobs, and Lisa and I got to go back to the file room, i haven't been down there since April, so it was a nice change of pace. It was actually really fun! we've got a radio down there, and played some christian songs.

things were pretty slow too, which was kinda nice.

Now the best news: the Twins won! HOORAY! and now they are a game out of first place, so that is WONDERFUL! :)

well, i am SUPER tired, so I am going to bed! g'night! :)

Survived Monday! :)

HOORAY! for some reason I was pretty nervous about work today, which was kinda odd, but it went okay. training went well, and nothing to horrible happened. Although I did have major spilliage all over my pants, but its nice to be able to come home and change, and do it over my lunch break, so that was my big news today!

it sounds like the coming weekend is getting a little mixed up. Basically what is happening is I am going to the skating place with my co-workers and the following day I am going to build my pantry, with sara and my parents, so that should be pretty interesting! :)

and then i am planning to go to Westwood with my friend from Vespers, so that should be fun! i will keep you guys updated!

have a great night! no twins game today, but tomorrow I will be back with my usual updates! :)

The twins lost AGAIN! GRRRR!

So today was a great day, despite the Twins losing! It started out with meeting Lisa at her church, which was great. She played in the band, and her pastor did a great message on prayer. The only thing about that church I don't like is they don't do communion, or maybe they only do it when I'm not there, but it kinda reminds me of my home church since we did older hymns, which I don't mind at all.

Then after church I came back to the house and Jamie taught me how to do laundry, and the washer and dryer are so much better than the ones at my parents house! HOORAY! and quicker too!

after that I watched the Twins lose, which sucked, we were SOOOO close! we gotta start winning games, since the season is almost over! way sad, now what am i going to do at work! haha!

after the game, i chilled out, hung out with Jamie for a bit. then i did some grocery shopping and am just feeling more settled. Its a great house, with the perfect location to work! now when it snows, it hopefully won't take me FOREVER!

well, i feel better about the week coming, but I could still use your prayers! Have a great week everyone.

I am SOOOOO mad!

One of my favorite skaters backed out of the show we are going to in Arizona! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Home sweet home!

So I was pretty lazy today. I slept in and then went home, which was nice. My dad always jokes that when we come home its the Sommers general store, but its pretty cool that they let us take toliet paper, and food and things like that.

It was nice to catch up with the fam, and unfortunately we watched the Twins lose, which stunk. Also Kevin has been going in my room and moving things around, and throwing things out, which drives me NUTS! He was not in the best mood today either! Uh oh! he sure knows how to push our buttons! i'm just glad to be in a nice and quiet house! haha!

So yah, today was pretty much be lazy and chill. Then tomorrow I am going to Lisa's and we are going to church, so that will be fun! Then I will probably do some grocery shopping and some laundry, if I can figure out how to work our machine!

i think next sunday my parents are going to visit and help me set up my pantry, which will be nice! YAH!

well have a great night everyone! :)

My LONG weekend has begun!

Since I had today off, I decided to go shopping and meet up with Sara later, when she got off work! HAHA!!

I went all over the place, and just compared prices and chilled out, good times. Then Sara came over and we went shopping and I bought a storage pantry, which we have to assemble, uh oh! this might kill my dad since he almost killed himself assembling my coffee table!!!

then we went to perkins and boy did we have fun. We could not stop laughing and joking around! GOOD TIMES!

now i am chillin out, and tomorrow going home to hang with the fam, and then sunday morning church with Lisa and will probably do some grocery shopping and myabe convince my dad to come over and help me assemble the pantry! We shall see! :)

it was just nice to get things more organized and my roomates are so nice, they've been clearing stuff for me, and just great girls! YAH!!

well thats about it, have a great weekend! :)

What a day, but now its the WEEKEND!!!!!

HOORAY!

Today was pretty good, my meeting with my boss went WONDERFULLY! I'm not sure why I freak out about dumb stuff. I know God is watching over me and will help me out, but boy do I get a kick in the butt for worrying and then God being like "Why worry when I will take care of it!" matthew 6:34!!!

i did have one situation that came up which drives me nuts! so this lady missed an incentive and my boss has been telling us not to make exceptions, so I stuck to my guns even though she was SOOOOOO mad, and ready to quit and was like "You are going to lose a consultant over $13" and I was like "Okay!" what do you say to that. Anyway she demanded to speak to "someone that could make decisions!" she was SOOOO rude, so i transfered her and we ended up granting the exception. Hello, if you guys tell us not to, you shouldn't either! GRRRR. then i had to talk to her afterword and of course she was all nice, if I am ever that rude to a customer service rep, please punch me. seriously people, show some respect. i wish i yelled at her, oh well! thanks for letting me get that off my chest.

after work FINALLY ended, i came home (it is starting to feel that way!) and basically chilling out, moving things around. Sara is coming over tomorrow night, so it will be nice to get another opinion on how things look.

then on saturday i'm going to my parents house, that sounds soooo sad, and i made a list of stuff i am going to take. they always tell us kids, when we don't live at home, to come to the Sommers store, and take what you need! HOORAY! I am finding out that everything is SUPER expensive! GRRR!

well, things are going well, especially with having another long weekend, it always seemed like at PCI and CM that anytime I had a short week it was disastorous!! hmmmmm....

even though i don't want a long week, EVER! haha!

well, chat later! bye bye! :)

pretty good day, especially compared to yesterday!

So things are going well at my new place, which is very nice! roomates are nice, things going well. Work went good too, got an email from a consultant thanking me for all my help, which was very nice.

i have a meeting with my boss tomorrow about the whole "training" situation, so prayers would be appreciated. then i just need to get through tomorrow, and I have Friday to relax and organize, and then Sara is coming over and we will probably go shopping, because I need to get a bunch more stuff, I even have a HUGE list!

Then saturday I am going to my parents house, it feels weird to not say home, but my mom misses me and with the bad week I had a work I could use a mom/daughter time! so that will be nice to be back for the afternoon, and get some stuff that I won't need to buy, hehe!

then sunday I am going to church with Lisa and vespers starts, so we might be going to that, so that is my plan this weekend.

the twins lost today, which sucked! they are still in it, just a game back from those stupid and pesky white sox, so hopefully we win tomorrow! let's go twinkies!!

have a great night, and please pray for me! even though I'm sure it will not be a big deal, i still need God! thanks! :)

Bad day! way sad! :(

So let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start (sound of music!)

It started out great, I got up early, slept very well in my new bed, and went to work early, and it took literally two minutes!!

Then i went to work and it was kinda busy and slow, very steady, and calls were going well and then i started to train Jayne on pending and there was SOOOO much to do, and then my boss talked to me about training, and i felt like i didn't know what i was doing, so it didn't go so well, but my boss apologized and things are good, which is great.

Then the Twins lost, then i came home and some pop my mom put in my fridge EXPLODED, so by this time I broke down and called my mom and started to bawl! Of course! I think its my time, but I just got done talking to God so I think things are better, i hope! I am tired so I am going to go to bed, and hope a good nights sleep helps, but please pray. the transition of moving is going great, but the job is not going well!! AHHHH!! plus my one year is at the end of october, which i think is funny, so I at least hope to make it through to my year!

please pray! at least i've got two days of work left, HOORAY!

What a weekend! It might take awhile to fill you in, but here I go!

So I left off with going to Duluth! HOORAY!

We left Lisa's and drive was so fun! Good times with my podmates! We stayed at Lisa's old pastors house, which was amazing since it was free! It is so hilly in Duluth, that driving to there house was crazy, but I am an amazing navigator, thank you very much! haha!

When we thought we were getting lost, Lisa's sister Sara was outside flagging us down, but I thought it was someone nice just waving, and then Lisa was like "Oh its Sara!". Sara and her friend Kelsi went up Friday night, and we met them Saturday morning.

After eating some lunch and unpacking we all drove to the Split Rock Lighthouse which was about an hour away in Two Harbors, MN. We all drove in Lisa's car, and her car is kinda small, so Jill, Lisa, and I were packed in, but it was fun.

The Split Rock Lighthouse was pretty cool, but not what I had expected. You went up in it and took some pictures and went on some walking trails. No big deal, except it was HOT, and we were hiking down and had to hike back up, which took FOREVER!! :)

After the lighthouse we went to Gooseberry Falls with the pretty waterfalls. More hiking and more hot weather but nice scenery!

After Gooseberry Falls we went back into Duluth and went to Grandma's Restaraunt, not to be confused with Lisa's grandmas restaraunt, haha! It was very good, and then we went back to the house and watched the Twins lose, grrrr!!! It was fun to have Jill watching with us, since she isn't a twins fan, but we pointed out Joe Mauer, so that made her like it. we also watched part of Sound of Music.

Then Sunday morning, Lisa and I got up to go to her pastor's church, but she didn't have the address, and Lisa had been there before, so we were kinda guessing on how to get there, but we eventually found out. church was good, she goes to a Salvation Army church which is more army related, hense the name, which was fine, and the singing was good. One of her friends was leading the worship with a guy who was kinda off! it was pretty funny!

after church we went to burger king and decided to try to find Enger Tower and take some more pictures, figuring the others would still be asleep, so Lisa got some gas and asked the cashier were the tower was, mind you we are on this huge hill, and the lady said go left until you can't anymore and you won't miss it!! Well we went left and still couldn't find it, but pulled over to take some pictures anyway.

Then we went back to the house, picked up Jill, Kelsi, and Sara and packed like sardines, went into Duluth. sara wanted to find a U of M Duluth sweater for the boat ride that night, so we went looking for the college, and ended up in Wisconsin, whoops!! It was fun though. We got lost a lot in the places we were going to, but not to or back from duluth, since I navigated us! :)

after finally finding the college, we decided to go walk on the boardwalk and took some more pictures and put our feet in lake superior, very cold! after that we did some shopping, there is a store there called Monkey Business, and was all about monkeys, and i found a t-shirt: pink and brown, of course!

after that we went to the imax show of Grand Canyon, and it wasn't what I thought it would be, but it was still pretty good and gave me an idea of what to expect next month in Arizona.

After that we decided to go get tickets for the boat trip and found out they sold out. we were pretty bummed, but jill cheered up by going up to a cross dresser, dressed as a female and took a picture with him/her? it was pretty funny.

so after no boat ride, we decided to find the rose gardens and was told to go left and you will run into them, but we got to tired of going left and not seeing anything, what is with the direction left in Duluth????

so we decided to go to the Radisson hotel since they have a really cool restaraunt with a revolving tower on the top. The girls wanted to get some drinks, so apprenhensively I went too! only problem was it took FOREVER to find. it was pretty funny, we were going by sight, and Kelsi was driving and took a road and then got back on it, we were laughing pretty hard, not to upset that we couldn't find it, but then we finally did. everyone but lisa and i had a drink, but they didn't get drunk, so it was all good.

the waitress actually came up to us when Jill was in the bathroom and said "your mom said you guys are having drinks" and sat us at a table. it was pretty funny, since jill wasn't any of us girls mom! haha! jill thought it was funny too!

after the radission and more pictures from the top, we went to target since kelsi broke a frame at the house, and i didn't bring my contacts container, so we got there ten minutes from closing time, pretty chaotic and funny!!

after that we went back to the house and had a slumber party, which was fun. we watched a funny movie called Accepted, and ordered pizza, and just chilled out! it was a lot of fun.

one thing i do want to mention is that jill is originally from wisconsin and one time she said that she found a bubbler, which prompted the rest of us Minnesotans of what, or who in Lisa's case, was a bubbler, and we found out its a water fountain! haha!

we also went through a lot of tunnels, and everytime we did, jill would start saying this over and over until we were out: "moonlight, starlight, hope to see the ghost tonight!" it was hilarious, and soon lisa and i joined in, once we got it. its a tough tongue twister!! haha!

after the movie, we went to bed, and woke up this morning and left Duluth at about 9:30, and we got home about noon, and my parents picked me up a lisa's and we went to circuit city since my mom was having problems with my laptop rebate stuff, and then we went to the house and practiced the key. it was time to move out. i did cry a bit before i left, but I think i was mostly nervous, but things are going well. i got my laptop running, obviously, and my roomates are really nice. we kinda talked about stuff, and the sara and her mom came over and looked around. it took a while, but its looking kinda normal, so thats good!

i would say things are going pretty good, so thanks for your prayers, and if you know how to hook up a printer, let me know! haha!

well, sorry this was so long, but we had such a great trip and i wanted to share it with you guys!

have a great week, even though work is going to be TORTUROUS tomorrow, since its the beginning of the month, but oh well! I only work tue, wed, thursday this week, so i'm excited about that!

Love ya!
