Here's my life

AHHHH

2006-01-16T11:14:00.000-06:00

Well, my life has been going well. I finally got a job and I love it. I am the new Program Director at Shetek in Slayton, MN. Life has been going well. I do have a bad problem with mice now. I hopefully got the last one last night but I'm afraid to look at it...I'm waiting for the maintinence man to come and look at it. yuck...sick... Other than that I don't know much and I will write more later.

ahhh...all done and moving on

2005-05-31T22:34:00.000-05:00

So, I am officially graduated as of like 8 days ago and life is grand. I don't have to wait anymore for school to start again, or finishing up one last paper, or dreading school beginning again because that means that I haven't passed the BPE yet. WAHOO...I'm done. Graduation went well, I can't really complain too much. I wish that the Registrar would have had hoods for us to buy, we had to give them back right away when we graduated. I'm glad about the robe though, I have one of those from High School and college that I don't do much with. They crammed us into a small room and made us wait like an hour before things started and we were getting hot and crabby, but it was worth the wait I guess. Bishop Anderson spoke and he had a lot to say, but to be honest I didn't pay attention that much. I was too busy looking at the mullet across the room. HE HE...
I have been doing a lot since that wonderful day May 22, 2005. I helped my mom out at school almost everyday last week. I graded her papers and put the grades into the grade book. It is always weird going back to the place you went to school at. I get to play the wonderful game of, "avioding-the-teachers-I-didn't-like-at-all-costs" game. It works for the most part, sometimes one does walk past me though.
I had a great weekend with the McPeake fam. On Friday Cindy, her mom Winnie, and I went down to Milton and stayed with her sister Trina in preparations for going to see Wicked the next day in Chicago. We went with 15 other people I didn't know, so there was 20 of us. (We met Cindy's brother Scott down there.) It was a fun time in Chicago. We went and ate at Ed Debevics, I love the atmosphere there. I love it that I can be rude to the waiters and they can be just as rude back. If I were to ever work at a restaurant, it would be that one.
WIcked was really good. I haven't read the book yet or anything, but I am going to start it soon. I really liked it though. I have a whole new perspective on the Wicked Witch of the West, but the flying monkeys still gave me a nightmare.
We drove back to Appleton that night and we went to Celebrate DePere on Sunday. The Gin Blossoms were playing and they were a little lame. I enjoyed the company though. Cindy and I went down to Oshkosh and picked up Jeremiah and so, CIndy, Jeremiah, Scott, her dad Larry and I went to it. It sort of sucked that we needed tickets to buy the beer and food, but we got over it. I think the band only had like 20 fans in attendance, it was kind of aweful. We went back to Cindy's then and played Cribbage. Scott and I were partners and we lost, but we had never played before so it was ok I guess. You know, I am so glad I have the dad I do, Larry would not stop on the way back so Cindy and I could pee. My dad would have atleast gotten off so we could walk into a field or something.
THen I went home Monday and weeded and tilled a garden. I just don't understand why people garden, it seems a bit pointless to me.

People I Miss the Most TOday:
Cindy and Sarah, I won't see them until September.....

Oh the life of a bored student awaiting graduation

2005-05-15T01:43:00.000-05:00

So...I am realllllly bored. I can't even handle it. I have been making graduation gifts for all of my friends, and even that hasn't kept me occupied. I have been doing jigsaw puzzles online, and that finally hit ultimate fun, so I decided to read a book I have been wanting to read and got to page two and was bored. I was even getting bored talking on the phone to people. But not you Sarah or Cindy. Oh well...hopefully I will go out tomorrow. The problem is, is that only the seniors are done and not the rest of the student body so a lot of my friends are still working on their finals and such so no one wants to go out. I may head to the Dub tomorrow to see the Bhoys one last time.

SNL was super funny tonight. They did Jeopardy again and one of the categories was "Japan US relations" and Sean Connery said "Jap Anus Relations" He he.

Most Annoying Commercial:
hmmmm...I really haven't seen many commericals, I have been watching the DVDs of my favorite tv show

2005-05-14T00:53:00.000-05:00

So, Sarah pressured me into writing a new entry. I realize that I have neglected my duties here, but I have been really busy getting ready to graduate and things like that. This past week I finished my finaly paper and had my final test and all I have to do is walk across the stage. YEHAW (Sp?) Anywho, now I'm super bored. I walked back from class on Thursday and had nothing to do. Even Joey and The Apprientce were able to keep my attention.

I feel like I need to say something about a professor I have grown to care for. Rick Heltne has been let go from Youth Leadership. He at times seemed to be the only one who was willing to take the time and listen to me. As much as this program has hurt and shunned me, he was there if I needed someone. I look back on my last two years with bitterness, but I also see how much I have grown. When someone is constantly being faced with being forgotten and always an afterthought by a program that is supposed to revolve around community, it causes a person to learn how to deal when faced with rejection. I have grown so much from this program, but I wish I didn't have to grow out of dealing with a very difficult situation. I really admire Rick even with all of the things I have encountered. I don't know who to feel angry at, but I am more angry than sad, yet I know there is something out there that needs his services.

Ok, back to my life. I really want to go to the zoo and no one will go with me. I went to the store today and got a 10 inch Marvin doll from The Hitchhikers Guide, and his eyes light up. His voice is done by Alan RIckman, my hero. (He's on my list in case you didn't know, but not #1, that spot is reserved for Vin Diesel.) I am working in Washington State this summer, almost in Canada...Eh. So now that school is done, I have decided to do some fun reading. I am currently reading the new Cosmo Mag I just got in the mail yesterday, and I am also starting the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Yet...I'm still bored.

So, I need to begin with some American Idol Musings. HOW IN THE HELL IS IT THAT SCOTT HAS GONE ON FOR YET ANOTHER WEEK. AND CONSTANTINE HAD TO GET VOTED OFF. SCOTT, YOU SHOULD FEEL LIKE CRAP FOR STAYING ON WHILE OTHER MORE TALENTED PEOPLE ARE BEING VOTED OFF. YOU SUCK EACH AND EVERY WEEK AND IF YOU WERE TO EVEN SING A NOTE IN TUNE I MAY HAVE TO FALL OFF MY CHAIR DUE TO A HEART ATTACK. YOU SHOULD JUST QUIT, BECAUSE IF YOU ARE THE NEXT AMERICAN IDOL EVERYONE NEEDS TO MOVE TO CANADA TO GET AWAY FROM THE SHAME OF BEING FROM THE SAME COUNTRY THAT SELECTED YOU. Wow, now that I have that off my chest, I'm super sad that constantine had to leave. Today was a pretty good day. My dad was offered a new job and I think he is really excited about it. I'm super excited for him. I am currently in the process of studying for the Bible proficiency exam. I just hate it, and I really don't see the point to it.

I went to Target with Mae and to the party store. Nothing big. The Wild Colonial Bhoys are going to be at the Dubliner tomorrow night, you should be there too.

Days Of Our Lives Observations:
So, due to my missing it yesterday, I missed the reunion of Jennifer and JAck. I wonder how long it is going to take Marlena and Roman to finally meet up with John and Kate. I think it is going to be a few episodes yet. There really wasn't much that was going on besides the reunions...sorry

I'm so frazzled

2005-04-26T23:34:00.000-05:00

Do you ever have one of those days where nothing seems to go right and when it goes wrong...it really goes wrong. I should have known when I woke up that I was going to have a bad day because my alarm clock went off an hour early and I didn't notice until I was already ready to go. Class was ok, a little on the boring side, but it could have been worse. I like sitting by Eric, but he can't whisper so it gets annoying when we talk. Then, I decided to go to the youth lunch and I was only remembered why I stopped going. I don't get anything out of it, and I really feel like I should so I get frustrated. I am trying to get my recertifications for my CPR things and that was a hassle. The people at red Cross in St. Paul were so rude. So much for Minnesota Nice. When I called down to Madison, they were as nice as can be. AHHH, and people wonder why I want to go back home. Shopping always goes well. I had to get some groceries and my free gift from the bookstore. It was sort of lame, but it was free.

American Idol Musings:
So, I need to rant about American Idol. I'm a little confused as to this whole ABC Expose on American Idol, but whatever. It is obvious that something is going on behind the scenes whenever the episodes air. I am thinking about taking up a collection that would deter people from voting for Scott. Whenever someone thinks that they should vote for Scott, they go to this site and get money, but when they receive their funds, they get their names placed on the wall of shame and stupidity for even thinking about voting for him. If he doesnt go this week, I may have to take out a vendetta against the program and not watch it anymore. I am still fighing with the the Bachelorette and the bachelor. I think that Bo, Vonzelle, and Andrew were the only ones who sounded good last night. Even Constantine bit the big one.

Who I Miss the Most:
So, I do miss her, but I am more thinking about her because she is working on her Senior paper...Sarah, YOU CAN DO IT...

Who I Am Jealous of:

Sometimes the boring is good

2005-04-25T23:24:00.000-05:00

So, I didn't really do anything today. I was really pissed off when I had to work with someone and he really isn't needed. It doesn't take 4 people to sort the mail in the morning, secondly the mailroom isn't big enough for four people to be sorting the mail. My brother has a job interview this weekend, and I am happy for that. I really hope he gets it and can plan his ordination before I leave for Washington...if I get hired there that is.

I thought Mae was stolen today. It turns out she had a bad day and a lot of annoying things happened to her. All-in-all, I can't complain about yesterday even though it was boring.

Who I Miss The Most Today:

Days of Our Lives Observations:
Well, the same old things are happening, but I think that Roman, Marlena, and Jack are coming home today, but I don't know what happened to Cassie. She was there, and now she isn't and I don't think I missed any part of any episode so I am a little confused in that department. Rex, Lucas, Shaun, and Brady are still out trying to find Philip. I'm sure one of them will be "killed" and Hope (who isn't even that pretty) will be upset whatever. Someone needs to give Billie a clue that her daughter Georgia is really CHelsea. Hope needs to be blamed for some of the things that she has done to Billie, everyone likes her better anyways. Oh well, I'll let you know more tomorrow I guess.

OH my parents

2005-04-24T15:10:00.000-05:00

It is always a fun time when my grandparents and parents are in town. I really get a lot of my spunk and humor from my grandma, so you know she is a great woman already. Yesterday we went to the MOA, Ikea (my grandma says Ikeda) and then to Buca for dinner. I love going to Ikea and can't wait until I get an apartment and go there for a lot of stuff. Right now I just don't have the room for anything. The mall was ok too. I wanted to get a new shirt for Rebecca's birthday party and my mom just likes to look around. It is kind of boring shopping with my parents though, because my mom has to look at and play with EVERYTHING. She was in the kitchen appliance part of Ikea for over 45 minutes and it was only like 6 isles. Then we went to Buca for dinner and it was sooooo good. I have leftovers in my fridge. Rebecca's party was a ton of fun at the Wild Onion. I'm not quite sure how old she is, but who cares. I also had a little too much to drink. WHOOPS.

Then today we went to see the model train thing at the depot on bandana square. I liked how they had Hagrid and Harry Potter waiting for the train to come on platform 9 3/4. My grandpa and dad could have stayed there the whole day, I was bored after about 20 minutes.

Who I miss today:
My family...As much as I get annoyed with them sometimes, I really do miss them.

I had an interresting day

2005-04-22T00:51:00.000-05:00

Today was an interresting day. I had a hard time getting up, which isn't new, and I went to class. I only have two classes a week so I really can't complain much, but sometimes the class is so boring. We played a few games and had a fun time. I really enojy being in a class with many of my friends, but there are so many type A personalities in that class that I tend to go into sensory overload.

I watched the Apprentice and I am sort of getting bored with the show. There really isn't anyone there that I think deserves the job and they keep doing the same old crap everyweek...yet I will continue to watch it to see the outcome. I hate reality shows for that reason.

Things got interresting when I was on my way to Old Chicago from the Dubliner. I got talking about Post-modern culture and how it seems like Communism. I was talking to Amanda and she is big into the post-modern culture, and I am definatly not a post modern type of girl. She was very interrested in this notion of what we are working towards in the church looks like what communism is supposed to do. In America, we have a view of communism that is tarnished by the Russians, yet in theory it is a good thing. Oh well...things to ponder.

Who I miss the most today:

I have a funny story from Sarah K that I need to share with everyone. So, she passed this car with minnesota plates on it, and someone had painted tons of Packer things like "GO PACK" and "FAVRE RULES," etc. HA HA HA HA...HA HA HA!!! And another thing about Sarah, she had a super mean quote yesterday that I have to share with everyone, yet I think it is totally true, "I feel that we're cool enough to be mean." hee hee, we're funny (cute too). I went to see National Treasure today, it was really good. It sort of is long in a few parts, but I really liked it. FYI, don't drink two beers and then go to the movies. You will have to go to the bathroom during the movie.

I didn't do much lately. Work was work, but I have this thing. I really want to beat this mean old lady to the post office in the morning. I have come to the conclusion that she sleeps there only to annoy me when I get there. Ug..

I hope and VIctor and whats-her-name get to Roman, Jack, Cassie, and Marlena so they make it home. I want to see Nicole get what she deserves from Victor. What I want to know, is when is Colin coming back. He was really the first one to die and he was around for like two weeks about a year ago and now no one has heard from him since. He was hot. Mimi...deal with it you annoy me. Belle, pick a man. Shaun, she isn't worth it, but will someone please get Phillip back, I really like him.

2005-04-20T00:24:00.000-05:00

So, I realize that this will put me in nerdom hell, but its true. I just got done watching Star Trek Nemesis for like the 15th time and was sobbing again. I won't say the ending in case there are some of you out there who havn't seen it, but I cried. If you haven't seen it, you totally should. I didn't really do much today. I went to class and then work and was snubbed by my brother while walking. Have no fear, I called and reemed him out. I think I may be out in Washington this summer, but I'm not sure yet and I don't want to jinx it.

So, I had to work this morning and things went well. My six week class is over from the first six weeks of the semester so I have the whole afternoon to myself. What did I do you may be asking yourself? I watched Star Trek THe Next Generation. I'M a nerd, but it was a ton of fun. Then I went on the senior boat cruise down the Mississippi. Paul drove and I went with Amanda and Rebecca. I had my judgements at first, but it ended up being a ton of fun. Andy and his wife Becky were there and we hung out, ate and danced. Plus...the beer and wine was free, but I kept to my old stand by Mr. Long Island. I also had my first Guinness and it was pretty good. The DJ was sort of lame, but we had a few fun songs, I think my favorite was the Electric Slide. After that we went to the Grand Old Creamery. We had this wonderful dinner on the cruise, but they didn't serve us any desery so we all went out for Ice Cream. All-in-all, it was a good day.

Days OF Our Lives OBservations:
So, I am sort of confused as to what is really going on, either that or I am just stupified by what is going on. Here are a few obsevations I have made over the past many years I ahve been watching it. 1. Someone always has to have just had an accident and be in the hospital. 2. Someone needs to be dead, lost, or kidnapped at all times. 3. There always needs to be some bad guy working for someone that people thing is good. I could keep going, but we all know what is really going on here. I know that people are going to make it home, because they showed it on a preview that everyone returns home. Chloe is going to be brought out into the open for who she really is, and she will have lost Brady for what she did. It is obvious that Abby's friend Chelsea is Bo and Billy's daughter, and Billy is going to get custody of her. DUH. ANywho, I'm tired and have a good night.

What a Day

2005-04-17T16:57:00.000-05:00

It is always a nice feeling to finally wake up and know that you got all of your stuff done the night before so you have the whole day in front of you. SO what am I doing, you may ask yourself, I am watching Star Trek The Next Generation with interruptions for Professional Bull Riding. Wow...I'm sort of in shock at my nerdyness myself. Wait, I also am making stickers with my new sticker maker. It is a grand invention.

In the words of one of my discipleship mates, I'm a turkey. I have hit that point where I really want school to be over and graduate, but I can't forget my school work. I haven't been doing the greatest in that department lately. I got the flu and was out for a whole week and now I am facing the fact that I am going to be tired forever.

School Begins Tomorrow

2005-02-06T22:14:00.000-06:00

Well, school starts tomorrow and I don't know what to do. Almost my entire class is in California so it is cancelled, I still have to work. I am lucky and only have three classes a week, but I do have an online class and an online precept that I have to deal with and I work three mornings a week. The superbowl was ok this year. I think we can all agree that all of the commercials were weak and lame except for the Burt Renyolds FedEx one. They definately win the award for best commercial this year. But Anheiser Busch gets the award for the commercial that made me cry. That commercial were the milirary men and women were coming off the plane and the people were clapping for them was just amazing. BRAVO, even though they aren't a "real" beer. I got to test drive the car I will hopefully get someday. I can't wait and wished that I could have taken it home with me. Have a good day.

well....what a boring month

2005-01-25T17:43:00.000-06:00

I feel like January may be one of the most boring months out there. I mean, Februrary is too, but no one really counts it because it is so short. NOt much is going on here. I worked today, which is always a fun time. I hope you noted the sarcasm in there. I watched Days, and the same things are still going on. I wish I had cable tv, but American Idol is on tonight so it isn't too bad. I really need to do my dishes, and go grocery shopping. That's about it. I am going to Ikea tomorrow though. I am finally going to get a coffee table so I am excited about that. sorry for the lame entry.

It sure has been a while

2005-01-24T13:41:00.000-06:00

Well, I decided that I should probably start up my blog again. A lot has been going on in my life lately. Christmas came and went and the job search has started. I am not too worried about finding a job, but I am very worried about finding a job in the field of work that I like. I think for starters I am going to work as a youth counselor at a state run youth facility. I really feel like this is something I should be doing for now, but I am still on the look out for outdoor ministries positions but not many are available right now.

I decided not to take a class over J-term, and that is one of the best feelings ever. I can sit around and play my game cube, watch movies, and hang out with friends. Man, I wish all of school was this easy. Well, I will write more later but right now I have to get going.

Election day has arrived

2004-11-02T15:27:00.000-06:00

So, I know that I haven't written in a while. I appologize for this but let me tell you a little bit about what has been going on in my life over the past few weeks. I went to Utah with Rebecca which was such an amazing experience. I went for the ELCA Outdoor Ministries Conference. I met a ton of great people and I hope I made nice contacts that will prove to be profitible when I begin to look for a job in the coming months. Utah was so pretty. We were in Snowbird, Utah and it snowed like 4 feet while we were there and the mountains were just gorgeous. I got myself into another akward position while I was there, but we won't go into that at all.

School is beginning to be more and more demanding. I really just can't wait to be done here. Now the Youth and Family program has decided that they need to revise and do an overhaul to the entire program, while in the process alienating those people who have been nothing but good for us and for the program. I really need to wait and here more about it.

On to election day-
I seriously hope that Bush wins. I can't handle it and would seriously think about moving to Canada if Kerry wins. I don't want higher taxes, I don't want universal health care and I don't want the draft. And for all of the Kerry supporters out there, it is the democrats trying to push the draft bill through, not the republicans. I already have to wait 6 months before I can see a doctor, and I like that he is pricey because I know I am getting a good checkup. Here are my thoughts on tax cuts. The wealthy have more money, thus when they get a tax cut it amounts to more because they have a higher start value. If one did not give tax breaks to everyone those same people complaining about it would yell that not everyone was able to get a tax cut. Hopefully the GOP will be able to hold on to the House and Senate when this is finally over so even if Kerry wins he won't have that much power.

Write more later

So, It has been a long while since I posted last. It is 2 in the morning and I just got back from the Dubliner and man am I feeling good. I just ate a sandwich that looked like a pizza. Well I just wanted to comment on Days.

I will be sooo happy when this week is over

2004-10-06T00:05:00.000-05:00

Lets talk about it, I am taking my normal classes, working, and taking an intensive class that meets for 20 hours throughout the week. I am so busy, tired and just worn down. So I went to Old Chicago tonight. I am enjoying The Sims 2 so much. So far I have created my character and Vin Diesel lives across the street on one side and Alan Rickman on the other side. (I live on a corner). Nothing new has happened in my life. Oh, I got a scholarship from my church. It was really helpful and I can't thank them enough. I talked to the whole fam today and told them the good news.

Person I am Jealous of Today:

MIMI WHAT WERE YOU THINKING, THIS BETTER BE ONE OF YOUR LITTLE HALUCINATIONS, wouldnt it be funny though if somehow Stephano was able to take that baby and grow it in a test tube and create another life? Just a thought. I sort of hope that he leaves her for it, serves her right. This whole thing outside of the force field is really getting old. Why is Billie bleeding, A LEACH???? Man, I just can't comment anymore...No to the new Belle, no to Shawn, go Phillip, whatev

its been a while

2004-10-04T02:00:00.000-05:00

so, it has been a while since I wrote last time. A lot has happened, well, not all that much I just have been going out a lot lately. On Friday night we went to see Napoleon Dynamite and it was pretty good, and then we went to Old Chicago which was a ton of fun. THen last night we went to Campus and in there I got The Sims 2, so basically no homework has been done but it has been great. I have come to the conclusion that I am addicted to Starbursts, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I won Erick's question of the week again this week...Korey, bring it on. So, not to be a nerd, but here goes. I am watching this new show Boston Legal and not only is william shatner on it, but Star Trek DS9 represents with rene oberjonis (Odo). yes, I am a nerd.

I find it funny you should all go to the drudge report and see what they are saying about Kerry and his cheating during the debate. HA HA HA HA, well, he will just deny it and flip flop again.

Days Of Our Lives Observations:
Does anyone left in Salem have their own private plane that they can crash on the deserted island?? I can't think of any, so hopefully they will be ok yet I don't know how they are going to be "rescued." Jan, I really hope that Shawn wises up to you, I am really getting annoyed with you. Belle, get over Shawn. Why on earth do you keep going back to him, Phillip is soooo much better that Shawn is and he loves you. I like how they have the previews, but I just hope that the one about Mimi and Rex is for real and not one of her day dreams about telling him about the baby. I can't think anymore, it is too late.

WHAT HAPPENED???????

2004-09-29T23:13:00.000-05:00

So, all of the sudden my post published before I was ready. AAAHHHH. Well, class went well today, I dont really have any complaints in that department. Have I mentioned that I love my new discipleship group??? Well, it is soooooo much better than my old one. I can't even explain the difference, but I know it is there.

Days Of Our Lives Observations:
I feel like and old record, so I'm not even going to say that Jan and Shawn need to go and they need a new Belle, nope I'm not going to say it. So, would it be that bad if Hope and Patrick were toget together and Bo and Billie. I have never been opposed to Billie or Bo, it is the relationship with Bo and Hope that gets a little annoying. I really hope that Mimi has the baby and tells Rex. Most of you know my stance on abortion. When is Stephano coming back, and who is following the people shooting the darts if Bart and Tony are in Salem? I think it is Rolf. Stephano wouldn't be doing that work on his own. Well...I was hoping for a better Wednesday show, but I will have to wait until Friday.

now I just have to go to class tomorrow

2004-09-29T22:50:00.000-05:00

Lets talk about it...I had three papers due (all in one class), and a test. I finally got all of the papers done and I did very well on the test. Now all I have to do is go to class, and Thursdays are my hard day. Grrrrrrr. Atleast Thursday is good tv night and I get to watch Joey. I went appartment shopping with Sherilyn this afternoon. I really think she will like what she picked out. It is a cute one bedroom townhouse with her own garage, laundry facilities, and a gym to share. She doesn't have anyone abover her so she should do well there.

AAAAHHHHHHHHH

2004-09-29T01:10:00.000-05:00

So, you know those days where you realize who you want to be by not being like the people around you??? Well, I had one of those days today. I really don't want to get into it, but lets just say that sometimes people here can be the worst type of people sometimes. Well, enough about that. So, I have this class this week where I have three papers due. WHO DOES THAT??? Three frickin papers. None of them are really long, but one took me forever, it was a tedious assignment with no validity, the other two I atleast understand the concept and don't mind doing them, I just wish that they weren't all due on Wednesday and Thursday. Atleast I have 2 1/2 done. I also had a test today, and yeah for my professor I already got it back and I got a 95% on it. WAHOOO...I love getting A's. I just wish all of my classes were like that.

What else, what else...Tomorrow is a big tv night. Everyone, make your calendars, the Apprentice is on Wednesday tomorrow. I also can't wait for the Next Top Model. Last week was really good and I think this week is going to be even better.

I'm addicted to these quiz things, so be prepared to see a lot of my results on here.

I really like that one...ha ha ha

Where to begin...I really think that Sami and Lucas should have taken Will and gone to Las Vegas, but I also don't think that Kate will put up that big of a fuss at the wedding, but up to that point she might. Hope and Patrick...seriously, body heat??? Mimi, just tell Rex it won't be that bad. Jan and Shaun, please. Oh, the old Belle isn't coming back, she is on this new show on ABC or CBS so now we need to get rid of this other Belle. When is Stephano coming back?? I thought that people were supposed to be killed who went outdside of the forcefield? Why are they shooting darts at everyone? I like that Kate and Rex are creating a mother/son relationship. It wasn't an eventful day, more to come tomorrow.

This week is going to be hell

2004-09-28T01:08:00.000-05:00

I just have a ton of stuff to get done this week. I may only have 3 classes, but man are they busy. Well, I woke up with a migrane today and missed class. I have a test tomorrow and a paper due. I have a big paper due on Wednesday...don't even get me started on that one. I have two papers due Thursday. Plus I work and am tired from this weekend. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH. Sherilyn came over today, and she busted her mirror off of her car. I sort of felt bad for her. I had a studay session tonight for my test tomorrow. I think I will either do really well...or not so well. I signed Stew up for a communist party thingy and he got the mailing today. HA HA HA. He and Karl think I am a communist. Well, I'm a republican, the wrong side of the spectrum.

I finally won Erick's question of the week. Last week I really didn't try, but it was ok I won this week and dethroned Korey. HA HA HA HA.

Days Of Our Lives Observations:
Well, Shawn is now just using Jan in a ploy to make Belle jealous. And the terrible actress Belle has one facial expression and can't get over him, even though she has Kyle. Seriously, he is really attractive. I really think Mimi should talk to Rex about her pregnancy, he is going to find out and leave her and I am really pulling for them. Honestly, the more I think about it, Jan and Shawn deserve eachother. I hope Sami and Lucas elope. Hope is of course going to get caught out in the jungle. The tranquilizer darts got Bo and Billie, and they are going to get hope too, but now she has the remotecontrol and can get through the force field. Stephano needs to come back and soon. I really want to know what is going on and from his own mouth. And...what is going on with the Chloe situation? I sort of feel like I have been left in limbo in that department.

I'm tired

2004-09-26T23:39:00.000-05:00

Well, I am finally back at school and feeling pretty lousy. I was doing homework in the car on my laptop and I think I may have gotten a headache from it. I just hope it doesn't turn into a migrane. The traffic was so hectic on the drive back. Once we got about 20 miles away from hudson it was so thick. It is good to be back though. Some things I know I can so without, but for other things it is good to be back. We had friends come up from FLordia, and it was nice that we were able to see them for a while, even though we had to leave shortly after they arrived.

SOrry, not a lot went on today...oh yeah, the Packers lost. Its ok though, they will pull it out somehow, I hope so atleast.

you will never guess who I saw today

2004-09-25T23:29:00.000-05:00

So, today was my Dad's 50th birthday party along with his 5 friends who turn 50 all in the same 4 months. It was at Jellystone where my mom is the Activities Director in Fremont, WI. So, we get there and do a little decorating, etc before everyone else gets there. Well, I brought a framed picture of Makita or dog to my parents and my mom took it there to show everyone. We had a garbage pail party where they take a clean garbage can and cook a ton of food in it over an open fire, and it is really really good. So in the afternoon there was a hayride, which I went on. Well, guess who I saw at one of the campsites on the ride, Jaime and Steve. Jamie worked at the Fine Pine, and Steve Diestelhorst worked at Waypost. Man, that was sooo weird. Then, I couldn't stop the ride so they walked and we talked for a while. Then I went mini golfing. And for all of you who are wondering, no, I did not fall into the pond. There wasn't even a pond there.

Then Jarrod, Laura and I went to Appleton to see Grandma and Grandpa for a while. We bought them a DVD player for their birthdays and we had to set it up for them. Grandpa has a new toy to play with now. I did feel bad though, because their tv wasn't compatible with it so they had to go by a modulator or whatever it is called, but they love it. I think they watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding tonight. I know they will like that movie. My parents bought Flight Of The Navigator and it was soooo good. That was one of my favorite movies growing up. I loved it, and Laura had never seen it before so it was a bonus for her.

I didn't watch tv today, sorry.

Hi, its me again

2004-09-25T01:40:00.000-05:00

well...today was a long day. I am writing this post from my bedroom in Waupaca, WI...well technically Scandinavia, but who cares about the details...right???? So I had a meeting this morning, which went suprisingly well, so I was in a pretty good mood all day about that. I did have to drive home though, and that is not always the funnest thing to do, but Jarrod drove and I had people to talk to so it wasn't all that bad. I got home and remembered I forgot underwear...hi ho, hi ho, its off to Kmart I go. Gotta love Kmart. How does one forget underwear?? I don't think I have ever done that. I forgot socks too...

I am not really in a writing mood, I don't really have much to say. Jarrod, Laura and I took pictures of Stuart today. He may be the Worlds-Cutest-Kitty-Cat, but he isn't all that photogenic. I'll show you what I mean in a picture.

Days Of Our Lives Observations:
I know I feel like an old record here but...PLEASE GET RID OF JAN AND GET A NEW BELLE. There, I'm done. I think they should let Hope go and find Bo, are they honestly going to let her leave the island without looking for him, I don't think so. Billy is being held in Toni's new house in a holding cell. Bart came back, he is to kill those people who try to escape, but cannot be seen. So, basically he needs to kill anyone he comes in contact with. The group in New Salem is gathering to try to come up with an escape. Do they honestly think that they will be able to escape so easily. I don't care if there are power fluctuations, no one is going anywhere. I sort of found it fun that Lucas and Sammy are currently the happiest couple in Salem. Well, Rex and Mimi are on good terms pretty much and Mikey and Bonnie are having a fun time. It just sucks you know. One person from each couple is being killed off. We did finally learn today how Toni was able to pull off "killing" people. It was interresting, a little Romeo and Juliet if you ask me, but fun anyways. Here's my thought. Will is currently growing up by himself. They sort of have groups of people in the same age, and Will doesn't have anyone. So, I think that Kerry and whats-his-butt (Mike) are going to come back with a child, and so is Austin, but his will be illegitimate or something like that. But they won't come back for a while. Who else could come back with a child??? Or, they will just do a philip and super grow all of the babies currently there until they are the same age as Will. Just a thought. Here is what I would like to see. Mikey back with the wife, Bonnie in a mental institution or with Stephano, Lexie with Tec, Kate with Roman, Lucas with Sami, Brady with Chloe, Nicole with anyone but Brady or Viktor, Toni with Marlena (I know it sounds bad, but it could work), John with someone, Belle with Phillip, Shawn somewhere else or Cassie maybe, Mimi and Rex and the baby, Austin with Greta, Eric with someone, who am I forgetting...well, more to come later.

well, it was a long night

2004-09-24T05:00:00.000-05:00

It wasn't a long night because something happened, but it was a long night because I just had a lot going on. I had class until 6, which isn't that late but I am used to eathing at 5 so I was an hour off. Then...it is Thursday night so there is a lot of good tv on, Will nad Grace, Joey (which is really good by the way) and The Apprentice. Then people were going out to the Dubliner, which I had to go, and then Sherilyn and I go to Old Chicago on Thursdays so she picked me up from The DUbliner and then we went to Old Chicago. I had to watch Days that I had taped and then write this. Man, plus I have a meeting at 9 in the morning. Well, it is my own fault, I didn't do anything that was really "important" but I was busy anyways. Plus, Thursday can be a big night because I don't have class Friday. I am going home tomorrow for my Dad's 50th birthday party. Man, he is old. HA HA.

Days Of Our Lives Observations:
Who else thought it was going to be Stephano??? I know we were all thinking it, but no, it was the hired hand. I don't remember his name, but he is sort of annoying, but I don't necessarily want him to go away. Hope really needs to get over this whole jealousy thing. Billie isn't a threat, and if she is you need to change your relationship somehow or dump him. JAN SPEARS...you are not, I repeat, you are not Shawn's girlfriend. They are going to see through you. But I'm sure Shawn will either have some sort of amnesia or not be able to fully talk about what happened so no one will find our for a while. Jan, kill off Belle...for now so that she leaves for a while and then they have to find a new Belle to replace her. I really feel bad for Kate, she really has no one but Lucas left, and I can totally Stephano wanting Lucas to work for hom again so they "kill" him so he can be on the island. I still want to see Austin, Eric, and Greta back. I like that John and Roman are getting along. I would be happy if both of them dropped Marlena.

reflecting on water at Waypost

Today went pretty well

2004-09-22T21:30:00.000-05:00

I really don't have any complaints for today...suprisingly. Well, maybe I should restate this to be, I don't have any new complaints for today. I still am having all of these issues with the Youth and Family program here, which sucks. I found out that Rebecca is coming with me to Utah which is a ton of fun for me. It is fun for her too. I did just find out though, that I can't make that into a class though. I can't afford it so I had to take out a grant, and that grant can't be used for anything school related, which is ok because that was a nightmare trying to get that going anyways. Carson from the Fab 5 is going to be in Minneapolis. I am going with binoculers. Tonight is going to be a good tv night. The Next Top Model begins, I am excited for Lost for some reason, I can't wait to see The Mountain on WB, and there is this new show on the UPN that looks super cute. FYI, I am boycotting The Bachelor this season. I was not ok with the spy last season, nor am I ok with the two guys at the beginning of this one.

Lets see...what else. I am so happy with my new discipleship group I can't even handle it. Last years was ok, but this one is 10 times better.

Well, Kyle finally found Jan, please will he do away with her and have her not go to the island. Of corse Shawn was going to pull through and come too just as Belle and Kyle were together. DUH. I still believe that they need a new Belle, this one is soooooooo bad, she can't even look convincing when she cries. I am really rooting for Sami and Lucas, but if they don't trust eachother, well then they shouldn't be together, I just feel bad for Will. It is not official that Billie is "dead." She has been spotted on the island, and frankly I don't really care of Bo and Hope break up. I really like Jack and am glad that he is back. OOOHHHH...when Kate called Austin today, I had totally forgotten about him. They could bring him back, I would be totally ok with that. Bring ERIC back. I also like Greta, she can come back. Oh and the Wesleys can come back, I really like them too. I just hope that the "new salem" ends soon. OHHHHH. Did anyone see the attractions for tomorrow, I think Stephano came back, and I hope it is the same Stephano as before. I liked him, and it wouldn't be the same with out him. We all know that he is probably the one behind everything, who else would be. Rolf??? Oh, speaking of people with bad accents, remember Ivan and shoot, I can't remmeber her name. She was after Victor, eew...well, I do have this thing for older men. His only redeeming quality is that his daughter is Jennifer Aniston...I like her, ok he isn't that bad I just get annoyed sometimes. OH, her name is Vivian. HA HA HA.

Person I Miss Today:
It is actually two people today, my grandparents. They finally moved today and I know they are tired, but I am glad that they are in their new home. The have been really helpful to me in the past few weeks, and I can never thank them enough for it.

For winter coming, the days seem to be getting longer

2004-09-21T19:25:00.000-05:00

Well...lets talk about my day. All-in-all it went pretty well. Work was fine. For once nothing really went wrong, which is always a plus. I burned the tip of my fingers on my right hand. Who knew that ofter a light bulb has been on for a few hours they are hot to the touch. What a novel idea that is. This guy Noah hit me in the arm with a fan today. It didn't hurt, but I will milk it for all its worth...that is what I am good for. I read the new Cosmo yesterday, it wasn't all that good. I like to read it to see how sad some people are that believe every word. One way it is good to do something this way, but it is soooo out the next month. HA HA HA. I wonder if magazines like that recycle things for like 2 years down the line? Just a thought.

Friendship is such a funny thing. One minute people are the best of friends, then they aren't. Ending a friendship is like breaking up with someone. You know there will probably be a fight of some sort, you think about what you are going to say, you have a week of a rocky relationship before you actually have a discussion. Then you hope that you were wrong and that everything is going to be ok. But I don't give second chances, and I also need 50-50 in a relationship. This is enough ranting about it.

Days Of Our Lives Observation:
Well...this episode sort of made me speechless. Sami and Nicole are seeing faces in fish. Jan wants to kill Belle, and frankly, the new Belle sort of deserves it. You should have seen her attempted cry when she heard about Shawn. With all that is going on, do you honestly think they would kill him off for good? Think about it. Where is little Zac. Shouldn't someone be watching him, and if so, who is it? Bo and Hope are on a island and Shawn is "dead." JAN...... About this island and this dubloon coin. This is almost turning into Passions with the cheezyness factor. I know that all of the soaps are cheezy, but this is really bad. I really like Mimi, always have, always will...unless she has the abortion. I really like Rex too. FYI, I just saw the new commercial for the Brittney Spears prefume and Rex was the hot man in it. I really like Sami and Lucas and I hope that Sami and Kate start to get along. I wouldn't want them to break up for anything. It would be nice to have Brandon back too...he was cute and a pretty decent actor. I do like that Lexi was back. I like her as well.

Person I miss the most today:
Sarah. I talked to her today over AOL, and I miss her. I am so excited for her to come back, but I am glad that she is having fun in Chile.

I am leaving and creating my own seminary

2004-09-20T22:00:00.000-05:00

You know I am not serious, but we have all had those days. Those days when it seems easier to leave and become a bum than to actually deal with the situation. Well, here goes. So, I want to take these two classes independent study, but aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh. I don't want to talk about it. Well, lets talk about today, but not that issuse. I went to chapel this morning because I was told that it was going to be the "Superbowl of Chapels." Well, I didn't think that it was any out of the ordniary, but who knows. So, one of the first classes that we are supposed to take is our synoptic gospel class. I didn't know that and took it my senior year and we have to do this library project. I fully understand the reasoning behind it, but sitting in a class with a librarian trying to tell me how to use the online catalogue sort of made me feel like I was in second grade, only when I was in second grade we actually had to use the card catalogue which was really tedious. Man, I'm old. I remember in High School we had the old computer that only accepted words and was a black screen with orange writing and I thought it was really high tec because I didn't have to use the cards to find a book.

I got an email from Sarah today, and it is always good to hear from her. So...I have these three bug bites and my arm is huge, it is soooo swollen. Plus they really itch and hurt. I had a lot of fun at work today. I also saw some really funny political cartoons that I think people should check out, but I don't remember the web addresses. Sad...

Person I miss the most today:
No one really.

Person I am Jealous of Today:
Anyone who is not at seminary. It is a good place, but I really am having issues at the moment.

Days Of Our Lives Observations:
I honestly don't know where to being on this one. I still stand that Jan needs to go away. She was a stupid character to being with, and hasn't gotten any better. BELLE...HAVE SEX WITH SOMEONE. It was this long drawn out production with you and Shawn and I feel that it is going to be the same with you and Kyle. GET OVER IT. I'm so glad that Jack came back, and I think it is the old Jack, but I can't tell. I thought for sure that it was going to be Colin Murphy on the ledge. I wonder what has really happened to Patrick. It was sooo cheezy the way he went into the water I almost wonder if he did it as his way of getting out of whatever he was involved in. AND SERIOUSLY, his pirate coin that can get them through the force field. One would think that Tony or...Stephano would want to take it away from them. He knows it is there. He must be in on it. You know what else I think, I think that Victor is in on it somehow. He had such an odd death that didn't seem to fit. What else...Oh, Shaun and his "accident." Just one more person to go to the island I say. Mimi, Rex isn't the person you think he is.

Annoying Commercial of the Day:
The Burger King one where the man wakes up in the morning to find the plastic King in his bed with Breakfast.

Go Packers

well...the packers lost, but I still love them

2004-09-19T20:12:00.000-05:00

The Packers lost today...to the Bears. I really don't have anything I can say, I love the Packers I got to see a great football game, I just wish it could have gone our way. We will get them next time. I am now watching the Emmys. Man...None of the shows I like ever win. I really like the new show Jack and Bobby on the WB. It is interresting how it is set up. It is in the future where one of them is already president and having friends and others talk about their childhood and how they met them and how they rose to greatness.

I finally started my homework today. I got three papers done, read a little, and I hope to get another paper done yet tonight. It is on a reading about the Pentateuch. OH MY GOSH, William Shatner won an emmy. You know, I know I am a nerd but I love Star Trek. Captain James T Kirk of the Starship Enterprise 1701->1701-b. I have to say that Patrick Stewart though...well, I have this thing for old British men. I like Alan Rickman as well.

Lets talk about friendship for a minute. You know how you have your best friends, your good friends, those you can always be friends with even though you don't talk all the time, those friendships that are so much work but you are rewarded, those that are superficial, and those you really don't care about. When do you end a friendship? When do you try to work it out? When do you make those decisions? What about those you knew you would lose once something happened. Man, I hate being right about things. BOYS. AHHHHHHH. I guess that if a friendship is lost over a boy it wasn't the friendship you thought it was going to be in the first place.

Person I Miss The Most Today:
My Mom. I don't think I need to say any more. Call your moms today, I know she will love it.

Football

2004-09-19T15:44:00.000-05:00

Well, today is another day. The Packers are playing right now, and I think they are doing ok. I won't say more I don't want to jinx it. Ryan Longwell is my favorite player. Did you know that he married a woman from the NBC station in Green Bay. Lets take a look back at Heather Hays for a minute. Now, this isn't the woman he married but lets dwell on her for a minute because she worked there too. We all know the rumors, she slept around with Chmura and Favre, before Favre got married and who knows about Chmura. Well, looking back with what we know now, Heather was too old for him and who knows about Brett. But funny how she left to go to Texas right during the rumors. Could it be...don't know. I am going to say no, I don't want to be one of those skeezy people who don't report the truth, but...that's what I know. Back to Ryan Longwell, my favorite player. Come on Packers, Brett just threw an interception.

I would like to make a few comments on the Green Bay Packers as a whole. For all of you Vikings fans who just don't know better, the biggest rival for Green Bay is not Minnesota, it is Chicago. The Packers and Bears have one of the longest standing rivals in the NFL. Plus, you are the worst type of fans. I recently was able to attend a game in the Dome, and I will keep in mind that it was pre-season, but...you booed your team. You didn't even fill the dome 1/2 full, Many of you left in the third quarter, YOU PLAY IN A DOME. Everyone knows that real football is played outside, the colder the better. Now, about filling the dome. Many of you have commented to me that it was a preseason game. Can anyone tell me the last time Lambeau was 1/2 full. I can't, because it has never happened. Even the pre-season is full. Why did you leave the game early????? Stay and support your team, I don't care how much they are winning or losing by. They have to play the game. You booed your players, support them. It is hard to play with negative energy from the stands. Fairweather fans. I'm done talking about them now.

Person I am Jealous Of Today:
I don't think I have one. I suppose that is healthy.

My Trip To Target

2004-09-18T18:46:00.000-05:00

Let me tell you about my wonderful trip to Target. I went there to get a roll of film developed. This roll had pictures from the last day of camp as well as Cindy's commissioning ceremony. So I went to the one hour. No problems I actually got it back in 45 minutes. I checked out, and went on my merry way. After almost getting into an accident, flipping someone off, and getting the finger point by an old lady that says "shame on you" for flipping this car off I got home. I began looking at my film and discovered that I had another roll in with mine. I got some college students vacation film about their trip to some Asian country. Great, I looked and didn't see the negatives for their roll so I assumed they would get it figured out. Well, the more I looked at the negatives I noticed that I only have half my roll of negatives. So I called Target to inquire about my negatives and they lost them. Now let me read to you the message I received. "Submitting any film, print, etc...constituted an AGREEMENT by you that any damage or loss by our company, subsidaries or agents, even though due to our negligence..." So, needless to say you can be in incompent negligent fool and work at the photo processing place at Target because your performance doesn't matter. WELL, YOU LOST A CUSTOMER IN ME DUE TO YOUR NEGLIGENCE.

I'm all alone

2004-09-18T16:29:00.000-05:00

Well, I just saw Cindy off. I felt like a parent watching their kid leave on a mission trip who is coming back in a week or so, but that "or so" is a year. Winnie cried, and Larry was too I think, he had sunglasses on so it was hard to tell. There was so much going on when she was getting ready to leave. Trina called, then Scott called, both are somewhere in the US and will miss Cindy. Who knows where Brad is, Larry was looking at all of the dents and scrapes on Cindy's car and the gum on the floor of Winnie's van. I didn't know what to do, I was trying not to cry. AHHHHHHHHHH. Oh well.

I had a lot of fun last night. I went to Cindy's Comissioning ceremony at Roseville Lutheran and sat with Winnie and Larry. I think that seeing Larry try to do the actions for "The Way" may have been one of the funniest/cutest thing ever. We then went to Old Chicago for dinner. That was ok, there is always bad service there but I got to spend time with Cindy, and then we went back to the hotel. Cindy and I went swimming and then to bed. Man, boring life. Then we got free dognuts this morning at the hotel. I took one with sprinkles and it was really good.

WORK SUCKED TODAY. Nothing went right. I couldn't find the mail at the post office, I couldn't get the door open to deliver the mail. Atleast I had nice company and it wasn't difficult. But I am still new and feel like an idiot when nothing works right.

Here is my rant on Gas prices. I have a 1992 Buick LeSabre. Now, I know that is going to guzzle gas, but I also don't have the money to get a nicer more fuel efficient car, so I would like it if the gas prices went down. I was almost on empty and put $32.00 in my tank. AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Oh well, I also shouldn't complain because I only put gas in my car like every month or so.

Person I am Jealous of Today:
Anyone who has cable or sattelite, I am jealous of you today. Let me tell you what I had the opportunity of watching today, two fishing shows, the weather, golf, three college football games, 4 infomercials, 4 religious stations and a lot of fuzz. Wow, that was a lot to watch, I didn't even know what to watch first.

I am also jealous of my friend Erika here at school because she has tickets to the Packer Game tomorrow. Guess that makes me jealous of Trina too.

News:
I miss Cindy.

Person I Miss The Most Today:
Duh, Cindy. I will get to see her at Christmas, but that is a long time from now.

Well...have your pets spade and neutered, take care of yourselves and eachother, and other taglines by people on tv.

2004-09-18T14:09:00.000-05:00

The man I love

Today I say good bye to Cindy

2004-09-17T16:00:00.000-05:00

Well folks, today I get to say good bye to Cindy. I am going to her comissioning ceremony at Roseville Lutheran Church and then spend the night with her, Larry and Winnie and then she leaves for New England. Wow...I'm so proud of her, a little jealous, and a little scared for her. Many of you know me pretty well and know that I may have issues with the same people for a year, but she should do fine. Plus side...I get to go to a hotel and go swimming tonight.

I really need a hair cut.

Who I am Jealous of today:
My brother Jarrod. He was able to buy The Sims 2 and has been playing it. I still have the old one and am feeling behind in the times. Plus, he rubs it in my face anytime he can....HEY JARROD, WHO HAS TICKETS TO THE PACKER VIKINGS GAME...oh wait, I do.

News:
I don't really think anything has happened since yesterday.

Who I miss today:
Now, I'm sure that you are all thinking that I am going to say Cindy, but you are wrong. I am seeing her tonight, so how can I miss her yet. Nope, today's dedication goes out to my cat Stuart. He is the world's cutest kitty cat and I miss him. I know my parents don't love him so he is all alone when I am not there. (j/k, they would miss him and cry if he was gone)

Days of Our Lives Observations:
Jan needs to go away. I hope Kyle (Phillip, but I like to call him Kyle because he was on the Real World and that is his real name) and Bell (who we need to get a new one, this one is so annoying) hook up. I get really annoyed with this, "I still feel a connection" crap. I get annoyed with Bo and Hope doing it. I'm also not Shaun's biggest fan. I hope Jack isn't dead, but if you ask me I think the guy on the cliff is Collin Murphy. I like Sami and Lucas and I hope Kate can get over herself. Marlena and John need to just break up so Roman and Marlena can get back together, but I do also like the relationship between Roman and Kate. Mimi, if you have an abortion... Chloe, get over yourself, you have Brady Black and he is hot call him and tell him the truth. They need to introduce a new character for Nicole, it is too weird her and Brady because they are married in real life. The New Salem...wow. I don't even know where to begin with that. I'm just waiting for Stephano to reappear, we know he is the one behind everything. I am still pulling for Eric to return someday. Oh, the new Billie...what happened to Lisa Rinna the Life Time Movie Star?

2004-09-17T14:13:00.000-05:00

Poop in the Chapel...It always makes me laugh

Abbey and Cindy

Thursday September 16, 2004

2004-09-16T21:34:00.000-05:00

So, this is my life. I have two of my best friends, Sarah and Cindy not with me at the moment. Cindy is getting ready to go to New England for a whole year...lucky dog, and Sarah is in Chile. *sigh* Here is my life, I guess. I can write down witty stories or things that happen to me, like they always do. Well...here was my day. I am here at Luther Seminary working on my masters in youth and family ministry. I like to think I am a senior, which I should be, but we have a BPE here which stands for the Bible Perficiency Exam. Here we have to take a 100 question test on the bible, the timeline, people, etc. It pretty much sucks and you have to pass it with atleast an 85 %. Luckily I have been able to take it multiple times and have an average of 40. Stupid standardized tests. I have the technical status of Junior Plus.

News:
I am going to Utah on October 20 for 5 days, and man am I excited. I am going to the ELCA Outdoor Ministries Conference in Snowbird, Utah. I think that is the name, it is some snow name. On the plus side, Wayne and erika are going to be there...Jim too. I felt like such an adult buying my plane ticket and signing up for the conference. It was amazing.

Cindy's comissioning ceremony is tomorrow, and I get to see Larry and Winnie as well. We, and by we I mean I am inviting myself along, are gonig to be staying at the Super 8 where I get to spend time with the McPeake's and go swimming. FYI, Larry called me yesterday and called me a Doofas. Who says that. (Well, we sort of did it at camp.) HA HA!

Who I miss (this is going to be a tribute to the person I missed the most today):
Today I missed Angela Marchant the most. I was thinking about her when I met my first vegitarian at seminary this afternoon. I miss her smile, talking to her, and her family. I think of her up in Boston and really want to see her, but knowing I can't just drive to see her really makes me want to see her.

Well, have a good day. I am going to head somewhere and play around with the rest of my blog and make it look pretty.
