105 Interactions!

This means I took 105 phone calls today, isn't that crazy? i'm kind of proud, since that is the highest i got, but most of those count as calling for help on a phone call, but i didn't really call a lot for help today, so that's pretty cool!

work was pretty busy, needless to say, but i am excited that i go to work at 11:30 tomorrow, and get done at 3:30! HOORAY!

so guess what, i left my lights on in my car all day, but my car still started, way cool! i am just so excited for new years, still not sure where its going to be, but that is okay!

i am just ready to go travel somewhere, and i know lisa is too, its just so hard when we both work the same hours, but we shall see! i had my prayer time tonight and just thanked the Lord for Lisa, she is uch a great Christian to be around! hooray!

i will try and write before the new year, but if not, 2008 was great, and now onto a great 2009! :)

another BUSY and boring Monday!

I wish it was Christmas again! but at least i got through the day, and pretty soon its New Years Eve, which is always fun! WHOO HOO!

i am thinking that Sara and i are going to go to my parents house, and bring in the new year with food, laughter, and Troy Bolton (we are starting a tradition of watching hsm 1, since it was during new years!) yah!

can't wait! Hopefully work picks up, and it sounds like I can come into work a little later, and work until 4:30, SWEET! :)

also we always get fake alcohol, which is so much better than the real stuff, i hope you agree with this. also spent 15 minutes in my quiet time, i guess it depends on how long the chapter is, and my prayer time, my goal is to get up to half an hour, because i know i need to spend that time with the Lord!

well have a great night, and remember to be safe on new Years eve!

i have to go back to work! ICKY!!

so today was good, i went to Calvary again, and ran into the Nehrings who live in St. Cloud and are trying churches in the area, and the sermon was really good, basically about how much time do you spend with the Lord. I did my devotion and prayer in ten minutes, and our pastor was talking about doing 45 to 60 minutes, AHHH!!! although i am reading psalms, and i've been reading short passages! haha! but it was good, like God saying "You spend your whole day doing nothing, and give me about 10 minutes!" so it is defintely something i want to work on.

Then after church i met Lisa and her sister at Applebees for lunch, and then we went to Crafts Direct and i got some Christmas stuff for my Christmas album, yah!

then i came home chilled in front of the TV, and then went out and did some more shopping! after that i came home, and forgot to close my garage door, and then Sara called to tell me that it was still up, which was HILARIOUS!

then i found out the Sound of Music was on TV, and while watching it my dad called to tell me that it was on, HILARIOUS!

so it was a good chill day, now just getting ready for the week to start! YUCKY! at least New Years is this week! YAH!

Saturday, December 27, 2008

I'm home!

It is nice to be back and get into a routine again, but basically i chilled today, and then jackie left this afternoon, and i met up with Suzie and Lesley at Triple R in Kimball, and it was really good too! we had a lot of fun, mostly talking about being single, which is great to have other single girlfriends!! :)

then after dinner i packed up my stuff, and came home and have been unloaded since! now i am whomped and going to bed! my tape is fixed, HOORAY! :)

well i am going to bed, and after church tomorrow Lisa and i are going out to eat, and then to Crafts Direct! WHOO HOO!

bye!

Friday, December 26, 2008

Guess what i did today?

NOTHING, nothing! Absolutely nothing, nothing is too difficult for thee!!! haha!

we watched Prince Caspian, The Phantom of the Opera, and Pirates of the Carribean 2! It was pretty fun!

then tomorrow i am going to get supper with Suzie and Lesley, and probably go home and settle back in! Also i think my mom fixed my injured skating tape, so i hope that works! HOORAY!

well have a great weekend everyone! :)

Merry Christmas!

Wow, what a Christmas!!!

So let me start with yesterday morning, so we got up, and basically when its Christmas, it means to eat all day! mom did put out a fruit bowl, which i am still looking at COMPLETELY full a day later! :)

we had so much fun, dad went and got pizza, and we ate it while in the hog house watching home alone 1 and 2, mostly parts, but that is okay!

then after that mom and jackie did my hair, which was fun! after that we went to church, and i talked to lesley, so that was good! we also hung out with the mags and caught up with other members of the church.

then it was FINALLY time to get home and open PRESENTS, hooray! we read the Christmas story, and then opened our gifts. I got LOT's of SKATING movies and books, HOORAY! we always have so much fun exchanging gifts, and dad liked all of ours, even though we didn't get a good list from him, oh well!

then after opening presents, we played our traditional game, that mom and dad create. This years was called "Family Matters" and it was trivia about ourselves, and it was 30 questions, and we got $10 for each question that was answered correctly, and we ended up getting 21/30, WHOO HOO!!! Thanks daddy!

after that we went to bed, and i had to come downstairs to get something, and found out that Santa had arrived already "SANTA!" (quoted from Elf!)

then this morning i got up early for the Today Show, since Sasha was on, and then went back to bed. We then got up and opened Santa gifts, which included my parents. We got my dad a stuff Mickey, and he loved it, and rocked it, it was so CUTE! i also got my skating tickets from "santa!"

then after that we got the house ready for the fam, and boy was it CRAZY! the white elephant went good, i got a SUPER soft blanket, that i LOVE!

then i watched skating, which was good, but i wrecked on of my favorite skating tapes, but i am hoping that i can get it fixed! if you know of anyone that can fix it, please let me know!

then after everyone left, we went out to the hog house, to our neighbor kev's house, and watched the Dark Knight, which was good, and played Disney Scene it, and i was on a team with my dad, who doesn't watch disney movies, just likes the theme parks, and so we lost, but it was still fun! great day was had, but please pray for my daddy's back, as he has to work tomorrow! HILARIOUS! I think i am still getting coffee or something with Suzie and Lesley, but i guess we shall see! hope everyone had a safe and Merry Christmas!

Sommers family traditions live on!

So i could not sleep last night, since I was so excited to go shopping, but morning came quickly, but then jackie called to say that she was going to be late, HOORAY for me! but before she came i went and did some errands, and then when jackie got to my house, we hit the mall and other shops, and we did find some great stuff! we always like to go together, since our parents are so hard to shop for!

then after shopping FOREVER, we drove home, which took forever because of all of the holiday traffic, and then i FINALLY got home, and my family drove me crazy the moment i walked in, but we then proceeded to do our Christmas tradition of lightlooking and caroling, HOORAY! we went to a new place, the millers and sung carols to them, then went light looking, and there was a super cool house done up to music on a radio station, then we went to edmonson's and when we knocked on the door, pete opened the door, and told us to hang on, then he opened it and they caroled to us, it was pretty funny! then dad had this idea to give them some money, and we threw dollar bills at them, HILARIOUS! the kids loved it!

then we went to the big house with the lights, and found out that this is the last year they are doing it, isn't that sad? i'm not sure what we are going to do, but we will survive!

then we went to mcdonalds, and went in, this year, because of dad's back, and kevin brought some bread in for the chicken nuggets, which is tradition. we usually eat in the car and make chicken sandwiches, but we hid out in the back of the restaraunt, which was hilarious! then mom burped REALLY loudly, and a guy next to us started to laugh. Also jackie rented Camp Rock from the red box, and we watched it, i was kinda disapointed, but still love Joe Jonas, poor guy has a HORRIBLE name though!

then after that mom and dad needed to go to the grocery store, so when they went there, we went to home depot, since kevy needed to get some lights, and we get there at like 5 minutes till closing time, but he got what he needed, and we then went to cold stone, which is another tradition: chocolate ice cream with kit kats! YUMMY!

also someone said something about "kevy's place" like it was super far away from the house, and i was like kev's house at 8471 1/2? it was HILARIOUS, yah!

after eating ice cream we came home, played with the kitties, me and jackie did, and chilled and watched camp rock! cannot wait for tomorrow, Merry Christmas Eve day!

bye! :)

this LONG week is over, of course I am kidding since i worked one day! haha!

So today was LONG, but great! its just UPS messing up shipments, but I can now officially say that framing is over, as orders need to be in by December 24th, and I am not going back to work until Monday! watch, $10 bucks says I get a call from a cons wanting her order to be included for the framing deadline, haha!

now i am just packing things up, and getting things ready to hang out with my sister, and get our Christmas shopping complete. My dad's back still hurts, and he's not sure what our plans for Christmas are going to be. The funny thing is that i told him if he wanted to cancel having the whole Sommers family come over on Christmas day, that would be okay with me, and he said 3 other people told him the same thing, meaning my sister, brother, and my mom. Jackie and I just want to chill, mom hates cleaning for everyone, and kev just got a big screen TV that he wants to watch all day! haha! I thought it was HILARIOUS, and died laughing! plus skating is always on Christmas day, of course, SUPER inconvient, but maybe this year i will get to watch it. i told dad we could always do Christmas some other time, like over the weekend, and he said he would think about it!

i do want to carry on our tradition of like looking, but i guess we shall see!

well wish me luck out shopping tomorrow! have a great week, and a MERRY Christmas! :)

pod party was AMAZING! I LOVE my co-workers!

so today was FABULOUS, unfortunately i didn't get a lot of sleep last night, but i got up for church, and walked to Calvary, since i wasn't sure about the weather, and it was FREEZING and slippery, but i made it, and i'm glad i did. i love the Christmas season since every sermon is about Jesus birth, and its always interesting to hear different pastors, and this one was good!

then after church i braved the weather, got Jill the rest of her Christmas gift, yes I can now say that i had her as a secret santa!!!

then i came back to my place and was about to take a nap, when lisa texted me and told me that her thing got done early, so we could come over whenever, so i took a quick cat nap, and then got ready for the PARTA! it was so much fun, andrea brought her son AJ, and he is such a cutie!!

we exchanged gifts, lisa had me and got me a bunch of cool stuff! HOORAY! we also had fun scrapbooking, and i am getting further in my book, but feel like i am spending too much time on grand canyon! oh well! :)

then after the party i came home, and found out that my dad's back is not feeling well, so please pray for him! i don't want him to be in pain for Christmas, and we might not be able to do all of our traditions, which would make me SOOOO sad! so PLEASE PRAY!!!

well, i am going to have a good week (8 hours total!) haha! HOORAY!

SNOWED IN!

I had everything planned to get my christmas shopping done,and then i wake up, after SLEEPING in, which was the highlight of my day, and find out that there is a snow storm outside, so i was stuck inside all day, AHHHHH man!

so i basically did nothing, i did hang out with my roomate Jamie for awhile, we played my HSM game and watched some Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, brings back memories of when i was little, and as long as we took our bath on saturday night, we could watch dr. quinn, haha!

i think its stopped snowing, so i am hoping to get some sleep and check out Jubilee tomorrow morning, and then get some shopping in, and try to get home since i need some of my pictures to complete my gift for my secret santa, which i cannot say, because she might be reading this! :)

then we have out pod Christmas party at 3:00, but i do have a back up plan if the weather is yucky, which i am hoping it isn't! for now i am just chillin' and watching the movie Elf, I LOVE that movie!! :)

well enjoy the snow, hopefully its stops though! :)

8 more hours of work and then i get 6 days off!! HOORAY!

so today was another not good, but survived day! ughhh, i am so sick of those types of days!!!

it was slow, and then the 1st shift leaves and it was still slow, so they made a GO HOME list, which we haven't had in AGES, which is good for business, but i miss it being slow and being able to talk to my podmates!!!

but the sad part was that i never got to go home, since my number was never picked, but Andrea and Lisa's were, grrrr! at least jill was still around!

i did eventually survived, HOORAY, and then i decided to go shopping, so i went to Target and ran into my mom working! haha! so i hung out with her for a bit, which was fun. i was asking her if they have a CD that she wants, which was pretty funny, she was like Go look! haha! and of course, i didn't find it! oh well!

i still have a couple more days to shop, and cannot wait to hang with my pod on sunday, and just gotta get through work on monday, and then i have 6 days, yes this is correct, 6 days off! WAAAHOOOO!!!!

well, i am planning to go shopping tomorrow, even though tonight was insane at walmart, which is weird, but since its the holidays, its busy! plus its supposed to snow like crazy, so wish me luck in the weather! :)

Thursday, December 18, 2008

Whew, another day is over! two more work days and then I've got 6 days off!

HOORAY!

today was not horrible, but it was not great either! although we did get word that we can wear casual until the new year, YAH! i just hope that isn't our Christmas present, i am still hopping that they will give us something, like they did last year! we got a bunch of scrapbooking supplies!

i cannot wait for the weekend, which includes our pod Christmas party and more Christmas shopping and chillin with my family over the holidays SOON, i cannot wait! WHOO HOO!

also i started thinking about my Christmas album, which is EXCITING!

two more work days! WAAAHOOOOO!!!!!

Tuesday, December 16, 2008

Tuesday blahs, is it Christmas yet?

So today was not good! the only highlight was when i got a call from a consultant in Louisana, who said that there was snow where she is and she was so excited, i was like "Hey, you can have some of our snow!" it snowed another million inches, which is still pretty, but i want to play in it, maybe i should go buy me some snow pants or somethin!!!

so driving home in the bad weather was good, didn't go in the ditch, HOORAY!

i am just getting so excited for Christmas, i have plans to do some last minute shopping, so that will be nice!

peace out! :)

Monday, December 15, 2008

Monday is OVER, hooray!

So yah, today wasn't horrible, but it was pretty busy! YUCK! plus lisa lost her voice, so that was sad! she actually lost it over the weekend, even though when we hung out Saturday she had one!! haha!

so basically just a normal day, i did take next tuesday off because i am going to go to jackie's and do some last minute shopping, so that will be good!

i have a bad case of the hiccups right now, SO ANNOYED!

but i am excited, lesley and i are going to get brunch on saturday morning, since she is in town from school, so that will be fun! she goes to school in TN, so i don't think she knows a lot of people, and i've been meaning to hang with her, but i moved last summer, and forgot that she moved back to school, so....

but it will be good!

PS Happy b-day momma!!!! :)

Sunday, December 14, 2008

Snow day!!!

So i wake up to get ready for church and look outside and there was SO MUCH SNOW, I knew that i couldn't walk or drive into church, so i went back to bed, which was nice, and slept in!

when i woke up, i basically lounged around all day, which i enjoyed very much! our landlord did eventually come to plow us out, but i had no where to be, which was nice, it was like a good snow storm, although it would've been fun to go out and play in it, but i don't have any winter gear, and it would've been more fun to do it in the back of our farm at home, so i will have to see if kevy will take us for a snowmobile ride or something! YAh! i am getting so excited for christmas.

some bad news though, someone hacked into my facebook account and sent a bunch of weird messages to all of my friends, who would do something so stuff like that?? seriously!! so i reset it, but one friend was like "What are you talking about?" it was funny, but i immediately told him it wasn't me, and he was all like "oh okay!"

then just spent the afternoon watching skating and chillin, i knew it would be an INDOOR day, so i was prepared, and glad that i didn't have to go out in the snow! Hooray!

well have a great week everyone, and remember we only have like a week and a half until Christmas, it will be here and gone so fast! AHHHH!!!

bye!

Saturday, December 13, 2008

BUSY day!

Oh man, it started early!!! lisa came over and we hit the mall, BUSY BUSY!!! we did some Christmas shopping, but mostly looked around!

then we went to fashion bug, which is where they had a HUGE sale going on, so we shopped there FOREVER, but it was fun!

then she had stuff going on, so i continued my shopping and got a lot done, i guess its true what they say that you get more done on your own!!

i finally found something for my brother, he's the hard one to get for, so yah!

then i went home since i was served with JURY DUTY PAPERWORK, AHHHHHH!!!! i've been regreting this day for a long time! haha!!!! so i went home to fill it out, since tomorrow there is going to be a big storm, and when i got there, i found out Suzie was there, that was a nice surprise, so we hung out, and then i went looking through some of our old Christmas family photos, for my Christmas Scrapbook (i'm obsessed, i know!)

then after that i came home and went grocery shopping, since I am being prepared to be stuck at my place, and planning on going to calvary, so i can walk right over, man I think of it all, don't I?

well, now its LATE, and i am exhausted, so I am going to get to sleep, and hope for some snow, and maybe play in it, that would be fun!!!

have a great rest of the weekend, enjoy!!! :)

a much better day!!

So today was great, except for the whole WORK part, HA! it did eventually get slow, so that was nice, so basically my pod and i talked, but i do feel kinda bad for wishing it to be slow, since our president, i think, is feeling pressure for business to get better! but i just like it to be slow to catch up on my pile of FOLLOW-up, ahhhh! and my lead asks why my follow up is so bad, all i get is follow up! oh well!

when work was over, i came home and chilled! then jackie ended up being on facebook and we chatted for an hour, just writing each other back and forth, pretty great!!!!!!!

i MUST go to bed, as lisa is going to be at my house at noon tomorrow, that may not be early, but it tis for me!
also, the employee sale was this morning, but this one decided to almost oversleep for work, whoopsie! at least i have great co-workers who watch my back and get me the stuff i wanted, which was a lot and cost me $1.30, isn't that AMAZING?!?!?! I LOVE my discount!

thoughts? (just kidding, this is for jackie who has been known to repeat this, okay it just started, but still!) haha! :)

Thursday, December 11, 2008

ah carumba, what a day!

It was horrible, just LONG!!!!!! some consultants drive me nuts, they constantly COMPLAIN!!! pipe it down already!

but i am just so excited for Christmas, whoo hoo!!! nothing can get me down, i am officially going to shop with lisa and hang out with her on Saturday, which will be SUPER fantastic, and maybe scrapbooking.

also i am going to chill with my roomate jamie after work on friday night, we want to go see HSM 3, but i don't think it plays that late, oh well!

then on sunday i plan to chill out, and go home and visit my fam, so that will be cool! well, i am exhausted, and i am hoping that i will be able to get up and go to our work employee sale tomorrow morning, so we shall see!

its' almost the weekend, HOORAY! :)

Wednesday, December 10, 2008

Exciting day was HAD, hooray!

So it started out great, i went to our b-day meeting, and we had great cake, and got to talk to our president for about an hour, so that was nice to chat with her about stuff!

then afterward andrea, jill and i went to find a pop machine, and on the way out jill opened a door that was alarm activated! haha, it was HILARIOUS! :)

then we went back to work, and it went so quickly, which is always nice! then i got off work early, and went to kmart, target, and shopko and got a start on Christmas presents, but also got myself some stuff, oh well! :)

now i am chillin and i can smell that the weekend is almost here, still not sure what i am doing, but thats okay! cannot wait for Christmas, two more weeks, and i only have 8 more days of work and then i get like a week off, HOORAY!

have a great week everyone! :)

Tuesday, December 9, 2008

its the middle of the week!

so i am still just UBER uber excited for Christmas, hooray! I think i am going to go shopping with Lisa this weekend, probably instead of jackie, since she is in the cities!

work went good, except i had this guy call in who isn't even a consultant, yelling at me about something random, he was probably drunk, so whatev!

i do work early tomorrow for the rescheduled b-day meeting, so that is exciting, then i work until 8:30, so i am going to get off early, and do some shopping! whoo hoo!

nothing much else going on! have a great week! :)

Monday, December 8, 2008

A GOOD monday, they are hard to come by, believe me!

so today was really a good day! basically it was slow when i got into work, and it did pick up when the first shift left, but it was a steady busy, which i don't mind! i am getting my follow-up done, which is GREAT too!

i am just getting so excited for Christmas, i realized that i work early on wednesday for our postponed b-day meeting, so that is exciting, and then i hope to do some Christmas shopping since i get off early. i better start sometime soon! haha! i LOVE Christmas!

well, nothing else going on. Plans so far for the weekend include doing some SHOPPING, whether in the cities with jackie or not, depends on the weather. hopefully the weather gets better, its been snowing A LOT!!

Sunday, December 7, 2008

RELAXING day! HOORAY!

so basically i did nothing today, which was FABULOUS! i did go to church, and actually decided to drive over there since the weather was so bad, so i did go to Calvary, but the message is still about Job and that is what i am reading in my bible, so its been going good.

after church i chilled, did some more chillin, i wanted to go shopping, but it ended up snowing ALL DAY, and we got so much snow, i did venture out later on, but the roads were so slick, i just came home right away. Oh well! I plan to go shopping next weekend for sure!

so i've been just watching some tv, and for some reason i don't feel so great, so i did take a nap too, which was nice! all around lazy day, but i still have to get some Christmas decorations up! YAH! I LOVE Christmas!

well have a great night everyone! :)

Saturday, December 6, 2008

Beautiful day was had! All day, even getting up EARLY!

So today was fabulous, and i will tell you why:

It started out SUPER early, but i got up, and got to "work" early, and melissa and i came in together, which was good! jill was pretty shocked that i did get up early. We had so much fun scrapbooking. andrea even came and brought AJ, he is such a cutie pie! Anyways, i did get about 5 pages done in my scrapbook, so thats good!

then after scrapbooking jill, lisa, melissa, and i went to tgif's which was DELICIOUS, and we had so much fun talking and hanging out. Then after that i got a call from jackie saying that she is going to be coming home, so i of course wanted to go. So i went over to sara's and we did wii fit, which told me i hadn't done it since like September, WHOOPS! but then sara had a purse party to go to, so i came home and chilled out, and then sara came over when she was done and we went to my parents house, which was so much fun. She hadn't seen the hog house yet, so i showed her that, and then jackie brought pizza's, which weren't very good, and then we hung out and it was so much fun. i LOVE my family, we are wonderful! i am so excited for Christmas. jackie also brought Des, so that was good!

well, i am going to bed now, since i am WHOMPED! been a great day, and oh i went to walmart to get some necessities, and oh my goodness, i hope i am prepared to get in line tomorrow for shopping! oh well, i will be joyful and have a good attitude!

byebye!

well PRAY FOR ME! bye!

Wednesday, December 3, 2008

Grrr, let me explain! So today went great, except I had issues with my contacts/eyes all day, so i came home for lunch and took them out! the work part went good, but it was just like "Why in the world is there something else wrong!" haha! oh well.

work went good, talked to dad and he and my mom are going to be in town tomorrow, so i am going to come home for lunch and hang out with them for a few minutes, and then go back to work, i did let him now i need toothpaste and a hammer to fix my coffee table that he assembled, haha!

bye!

Tuesday, December 2, 2008

i hate being SICK, it sucks!

So basically i was dog sick yesterday, and had to stay at work, otherwise i would lose my holidays hours, so basically it was HORRIBLE, and then today i felt good, but i got a headache for most of the day, GRRRRRRRRRR!!!

i better feel good tomorrow, all i've eaten in the past couple of days, since i don't want to throw it up, is a bowl of chicken noodle soup and some crackers, at least when you are sick you don't really eat! haha!

well i am excited about scrapbooking this weekend, and decorating my place for Christmas, whoo hoo! pray that i feel better! bye! :)
