so have any of you heard of donating plasma? well my rent is going up $25 so I decided to try donating, you get paid really well and I can handle needles, I just can't look at them.
Well, needless to say (no pun even remotely intended!!) my first time went just fine, in and out, no big deal! I didn't look at the needle at all, but the thing that hurt the most was when they drew my blood, lol!!
so I went back last week and decided to try my other arm, since my 1st time, I got a tiny bruise, so I did my other arm and it went badly. for some reason it took longer than the first time, which is unusual and then apparently I looked pale, so they stopped the process, and then I was told to sit in the lobby for 30 minutes and I woke up on the floor. very scary.
I do want to say what they do is great, so if you can handle it, go for it! I almost wanted to try my original arm that did good, but the center called to check on me and said that I shouldn't donate anymore, which I agree with. One of my doctors checked me out and said I was fine. very scary though.

lately
Life has been so fun lately! Let's see, I went to Twinsfest with Sara last Friday (we've gone the last 9 years!) and it was so fun and we got to meet Torii Hunter and I actually talked to him and thanked him for coming back to the twins before he retired. I cannot believe I actually talked to him! That is so unlike me!! LOL!
because on the flip side I went to the ladies final at US nationals, which was at the excel energy center in the cities, and I got to meet Michelle Kwan, but I had no words. I mean this is Michelle FREAKIN Kwan! but the event was so much fun! Gracie Gold won and the top 4 were all amazing! It was Gracie, Polina, Ashley, and Mirai. Such a great event! I saw Tara Lipinski, Johnny Weir, Scott Hamilton, and Terry Gannon in the commentator booth, but couldn't get to them. boooo. :(
and Dorothy Hamill was interviewed on the jumbotron and I was asked to take a picture of two guys with Linda Fratianne. I think one of the guys was from project runway and he does articles on skaters costumes. I can't think of his name though! Also saw a bunch of the icenetwork people, like Tanith Belbin, Michael Weiss, Charlie White, Meryl Davis, John Coughlin and Michael Buckley (who my sister loves-LOL!) it was just so much fun to be there and I can't wait for us to host it again.
I also am apart of fantasy figure skating, which is so much fun! every competition you rank the top 6 and then there are random questions, like "how many quads do you think the men will land" and will "Gracie Gold place higher than Ashley Wagner". Its so much fun, but I totally bombed at nationals, which is weird, since I was there to see it play out live. But looking forward to trying again for the next competition. Now I know why my dad and brother are so addicted to fantasy football, its so fun!!!
This may sound pathetic, but I am uber excited to be puppy sitting for mom in dad in two weeks. I took of work and get to spend 5 days at the house by myself. I can't wait to just rest and recharge my batteries! I'm such a loner, but I'm totes fine with that!
What's new with you?? Keep me updated! love, love!

its been forever and ever and ever!
I'm so sorry! Life has been crazy, but good!
My sister's book came out! YAH! so exciting! Truest by Jackie Lea Sommers. she had a huge launch party and our cousin even came in from out of town to surprise her! and she's had other signings, which have been so fun!
work is going good! still at SCMG-coming up on 2 years, now that's crazy!
still on weight watchers-I continue to have my ups and downs. it stinks that I still don't have a grasp on my food issues, but I'm excited because the author of one of my favorite bible studies, Made to Crave by Lysa T is coming to town this weekend, so I am going to see her with Lori, who I met at the book study and started an amazing friendship with.
The Twins had a phenomenal season this year-yeah for Torii Hunter rejoining the Twins! Sara and I went to the last game last weekend, which was so fun! we even got a free upgrade to a suite, so that was really fancy! The twins almost made the play offs, so I have high hopes for next year with all of our young talent.
I'm really liking my church The Crossing, its super contemporary and I just love the energy and its nice that they met on Thursdays nights and they just moved right across my parking lot, literally. when I saw the address, I was like "Hey, that's my street!" LOL!
Miss Casey Ann Sommers (my parents dog!) turned a year old today, so that's great! i love her so much! i middle named her after me because I always am dog sitting for her!
Other than that, life is great! working out, hanging out with family and friends, and loving God! How are you? Sorry I've been so horrible at updates! Peace!

wow. life has been crazy. but good. but VERY crazy!
so much has been going on and instead of telling you i will update you, i am going to tell you the truth and say that this is my update (LOL!):
so work has been going well, today was actually a great day, HOORAY! and its Friday and its payday! We all went out as a group with most of our doctors, which was so much fun! and then today the one doctor who doesn't talk to us a lot actually struck up a conversation with some of us, it was so bizarre, but so good! I just wish I could get all my North girls to come to south and then i would be all set!
Life has been fun too! I went to Stars on Ice in mid March, and I went solo- I couldnt afford to take my dad anymore and still sit as close as I like too! and i will get as close as I can to Katia FREAKIN Gordeeva who is one of my skating crushes!!! such a great show!
then Lisa and I went to Chris Tomlin's concert at the end of March, which was SOOOO fabulous! That same weekend I also went to see Cinderella with Lori and Byork (who was in town) and now just missing Stephanie who moved down south to be with her mom, so sad.
Church update: I've been apart of a new church in St. Cloud called the Crossing and its SOOOOOO good! I love the rock n' roll concert vibe and the pastors are SOOOO good and so funny and engaging and we are going through a really great series about words hurting and how the saying "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me" which is SOOOO not true! I've met some great people there and have reconnected with some Crossroads people too!!
phew! im exhausted just thinking about everything going on! and trying to remember everything I'm forgetting!!
OH! DWTS is AWESOME this season! my girl Nastia Liukin (2008 olympic gold medal gymnast) is killing it with my guy Derek Hough, and the twins season has started and it didn't go so well the first week, but we are now on a 3 game win streak!
Things are great, how are you????? Update me please!!
