Excellent day, and almost the weekend!!

So i've been working shorter shifts lately, but today I started to get them back, which was kinda weird, but good! Betty and I had so much fun at work, fun to just laugh!!!! :) Lots going on in April!!! Starting on the 1st (tomorrow) with the Twins season starting, YAH!!! can't wait! i plan to wear my Twins Scrubs!! And then I'm going to the twins game on the 19th, and Easter, and work was just great!! fun times! and the weekend is OH SO CLOSE!!!! and then I read my bible and this part just jumped out at me, "Don't STUDY the bible, Do what it says!" which to me means to not just read it, but to put it into action!!! Coolio!! Good times, and great oldies! kool 108!!! :) Later!! :)

fun and RELAXING weekend!!

it was very low key, but fun! I went home and hung out with the family, and slept over! i love staying there, even though my old bed is so uncomfortable, its such a comfort to just be in my childhood home!!! Then I find out Kevin wants to come to my church on Saturday night, and so it was fun to have him and Sam there. We then went out for supper too, I crashed date night, but it was alot of fun!!!! Good times! Now i am just chillin, but I sure wish there were more hours in the day, especially during the weekend!! And my frout hurts! OWIE!!! i hope its better tomorrow!

Guess what time it is, SKATING time!

as most of you know, my obsession with figure skating started about 14ish years ago, and everytime the skating season ends, which is now; I rewatch all my skating tapes!! which brings me back, and its so fun to do!! so yah!!!

just an about me lately, good weekend! very relaxing, I went to lunch with Lisa yesterday and then we went to Crafts Direct, and then today was just a chill day, which was VERY needed!!! so excited that the twins season is going to start soon, which is so nice that it starts when skating ends and vice versa!! hooray!! :)

Its almost Friday!! woot woot!

I started posting videos and my Stars on Ice review, but it won't copy and paste, and I don't want to retype it, so I might try emailing it to my parents and doing it there? we shall see. Now I am posting videos on youtube.com, check out joemauerlover and you can see my videos! I have been so focused on skating that its crazy to think baseball starts soon. Joe Mauer played in his first spring training game! YAH!!!! can't wait for baseball, love how skating starts when baseball ends and vice versa!!

I've been working short days at work, which have been going well; although when I get my paycheck I'll probably hate it!! haha! excited to just chill this weekend, and add more skating videos!! its almost Friday! and getting lunch with Lisa at Famous Daves on Saturday, which usually means that its baseball connected, cuz we always go there on the way home from Twins events! haha! I guess we are celebrating the start of Twins baseball! :)

Skating Weekend Part 2: even more FANTASTIC!!

Stars on Ice was AWESOME!! so many great things, that I will talk about later. I always write up a review, in fact while writing about it on the way home, I found last years review! haha! and it was a million times better than last year!

Also saw Kristi again!! haha! too bad we didn't become besties!! :)

Katia, Jamie and David, Sasha, Kurt, Tanith and Ben, Michael, everyone was a highlight!! promise more details when I catch up on sleep!!

Skating weekend part 1= FANTASTIC!!

so I got to Jackie's last night and she wanted me to watch the movie Inception, which is CRAZY!! and so confusing, but actually pretty good; if that makes sense!! haha!

Then we went to bed in her SUPER comfy bed and woke up this morning to go meet Kristi! I was so nervous, and then the roads were kind of icy and we actually spun on the road. scary! I asked Jackie who was driving "What should we do?" and she was like "Duh, we turn around!" haha!

she then dropped me off at the bookstore The Red Balloon Shop which is a kids book store (Kristi's childrens book is called Dream Big, Little Pig). I got there at 10:00 and she was going to do a reading of her book and answer questions at 10:30 and so we all just waited around and all of the sudden, there she was! she is so cute and tiny. She was wearing black and purple. I just was in shock that we were in the same room. She read the book, which is so cute, and then answered some questions. I asked her if she still skates, and she said not really, but she does miss it! hopefully she skates next year.

Then we proceeded to get called by number to get meet her and get her autograph. I was number 13, so I was up there right away. She was so nice, I did talk to her and told her it was so great to meet her. She was super nice and signed my skating picture that I had brought. I then sat down and just watched her autograph and meet other people. I was just in awe, here is my favorite skater (or one of my favorites!) and we are in the same room together. She did mention to someone that she was going to a St. Thomas hockey game that night for nephew, since her husband is from the twin cities, and I so wanted to go!! haha! :)

after meeting Kristi, I met up with my sister and she took me out for lunch at this yummy pizza place, and then we visited with my uncle for a bit who lives near by, and then I drove home. What a cool event. and what's even better is that she is going to be at Stars on Ice tomorrow signing autographs before the show and during intermission, cool right?? I get to see her two days in a row! :)

Can't wait for Stars on Ice tomorrow, its going to be awesome!! :)

Now i just gotta get through tomorrow!! WOOT WOOT!!

and its just in the morning!! YAH! can't wait to have a weekend of and meet Kristi Yamaguchi! my dad found her picture and I bought a special sharpie marker for her to sign it! i am so nervous, plus my sister has some fun stuff for us to do too! I cannot wait!! YAH!!!!!!!! eeekkkk!!! is it Friday afternoon yet???

last night bible study was great, I really love this group!! good times! :)

Wow, the good days keep coming!!

YAH! Justin Morneau made his debut since his concussion last July! YAH! he got a double too!! WAHOO!! hopefully he can stay well the whole season and help the Twins win the world series! 2011 World Champion Minnesota Twins!! I've got a good feeling!

can't wait for this weekend, Kristi posted that she is going to be at my SOI show signing her book! So yeah I get to see her two days in a row, cool right!! Cannot wait, is it the weekend yet???!!!!

another great day was had!

man i love that work is going so well!!! YAH God!!! Just excited about this weekend, let the countdown begin!

4 days left! now i just gotta find that Kristi picture! i sure hope I can!!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!!

What a great, Lazy Sunday!

It was defintely needed, and of course it snowed! i am so sick of this weather, but I did get lots of cleaning done, as pathetic as that sounds, my place needed a good cleaning! its always nice when you finish and feel like you didn't waste the whole day!

but i just cannot wait for this weekend, its such a skating weekend! meeting Kristi on Saturday morning, and hoping that I actually say something to her, and then Stars on Ice on Sunday, which I am so excited about, the show this year has alot of my favorites in it including Katia Gordeeva, Sasha Cohen, Jamie Sale and David Pelletier, Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto, and Kurt Browning. Too bad Scottie Hamilton isn't feeling well, but he is going to be at the show hosting, so that will be fun to see! I AM SOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!! will post many, many videos when I get home! just hoping this week goes by quickly!

now i feel like I have caught you guys up!! :)

Wow, this crazy week is finally over!

but it was defintely a great week!! its just that i worked 6 straight days! AHHHH!!!!

i just want to update you on all that is going on with me, so at work our manager has been gone because she had surgery, so its basically been me and Betty in charge, which can get stressful, but it feels like this week has been amazing. YAH God! Thank you for helping us out! i worked today (a saturday) and it was stress free, which has never been the case, it was SOOOO nice! i just wanted to scream with delight!! :) it also feels good because I'm very dependable on our manager, but with her gone, I think I really bonded with Dr. Pearson, which is very good news! I think its weird for me because he has all little boys, and he works with all girls! haha! you do the math! :)

anyway, just wanted to start updating you guys on the cool things happening with me. Last weekend we celebrated Samantha's bday (brothers girlfriend) which was kind of a big deal because this was the first "Sommers bday party" we had for an "outsider!" but it was so much fun! we played card games and just hung out. we played this game called Krebs, where you partner off and then you have to get 4 of a kind and come up with a signal for your partner to yell "KREBS" before someone else gets 4 of a kind, kind of hard to explain but so much fun! my partner was jackie, and needless to say we got our signals crossed, and then it was like "What the heck was our signal again?" haha!!

and it was just nice to have mom and dad home from Florida, it was so sad that i didn't go this year, but we are all going in December, so that will be fun!!

and my bible study is going well in Kimball, and I am just so excited that I've found one where I'm comfortable and its a great group of girls! good book study too!

after the bible study I go to my parents house, and I actually bought tickets to meet Kristi Yamaguchi at a book signing in the cities for next weekend, so I'm going to jackie's and then meeting Kristi on saturday morning, I am so excited, but so nervous; and I can't find the picture I want her to autograph! GRRRRR!!!! i hope i find it before next weekend!

I will update you guys on more stuff later, I have just been chillin and I really need to clean my place! YUCK! updates later tomorrow, YAH I get to sleep in! :)

Too many great things going on!!

but work is DRAINING me!! when I get a day off I will update you on why life is great!!!! :)


even though work has been long lately, things are still going well! WAHOO!!! i PROMISE to update you on everything, PROMISE!! :)
