Off to Mom's house I go

my mom playing boxing on my Wii


I love my Mom. I am so looking forward to spending some time with her this weekend. It would be nice if Justin could come but never the less I need me some Mommy time and she needs some baby time( I am the baby)My poor mother has had a very hard time with all kinds of spit balls going her way. I stopped at Trader Joe's after work and picked up 4 bottles of wine for us. Chances are will will drink all 4 Friday night. It is not that much when you think there are about 3 glass's to a bottle and we will be up until three or so. I picked myself up a bottle for this evening and I am enjoying it as I type. I am in a new dept at work and I like it a lot more. It is more what I want to do and the people I am working with are very happy that I am working with them. I so hope I get hired after my 4 months is up. Life has been very good. Justin and are doing great. It is crazy how good you life with you partner gets when life clams down and you get to enjoy one another. We had a great time at the taste on the 4th and did jack squat on Sunday. It would have been a lot more enjoyable if he was not under the weather. Last weekend was perfect. I went out with the girls Thurs. night and rode the bull and sat in a out door hot tub until sunrise. That made Friday night an early one and sat was the 4th and so one. Now I am going to finish watching Chicago have one more glass of wine and off to night night land.

Well rounded

I have always known I was rather well rounded but today while listening to the radio the song Rehab came on and I related to it and that made me giggle. From the age of 3 to almost nine I lived in a town called Askov pop 343. There I developed small town quality's like respect for my elders and what not. Then mom and I moved to Moundsview big change for me. Prior to this the only people that were not my race that I saw where on t.v. I adjusted rather well and became very accustomed to being a well-to-do suburban girl. We lived in a nice town home and had a out door pool. My mother and I were in a car crash when I was 12 and half years old. The result- my mother was injured and could no longer work her job. We moved from our ritzy town home to a trailer park. Thus why I can relate to the rehab song. I fit in well with trailer trash as well, it took a while but oh well. If you have never lived in a trailer a short description is everyone knows everyone's business that happens when you see the woman who's children that you babysit is throwing her spouses clothing on everyone' trailer homes roofs because he cheated or something, after this I babysat a lot because she was a stripper on armature nights. We left the park when I was 16 years old. I lived next to my high school in a Apt after that and then moved to my 1st apt on my own at 18 in the ghetto of East St. Paul and for the last four years I have lived with Justin in Maplewood. I have lots more stories about the different places I have lived and they made me me so all is good.

Little suburban girl

Myself and two of my dear high school girlfriends



This last week I wish I would have had more time to blog, but I have been too busy or too lazy. I had a great weekend. I spent it with some of my favorite women. Friday night I stayed home and watched a movie with my bunk. Sat I woke up and ran all kinds of errands and then I went to a wedding shower for one of my cousins. I had a very nice time there and then I had a great night with two of my girlfriends from high school. We had many of those chats where we had to say oh my word we are so old. It is crazy how topic choice changes by age. I was out and about all day sat and I went to three bars but I never got drunk. It was great! Sunday I went to a beach in MPLS with my friend Ellie. I do not leave the burbs very often and this venture to the beach and out for some food in MPLS made me realize that I have turned into a typical suburban girl. It was crazy the people and the things I noticed. I do not think people that are not in my demo to be bad by any means, I just felt a little out of my element. This made me sad and it is something I must change. Yes I want a family and all that jazz someday but I better not turn into that Mom, in the mini Van that is all freaked out because someone whom looks a little off is ten feet from my car.

I am still here

Nope did not die, just working the 9-5. I cannot get on to any sites are work and when I get home. I am not on long due to the fact that I sit in front of a computer for most of my work day. Last weekend was a great weekend. It was my 1st no work weekend. Friday I started after work with my Adrienne and then ending the night with Amanda. Sat was rainy and I was going to clean the house but only got the living room and the Kitchen done. Sat night I went to one of my favorites of all people Mels for a little party. That is her and I above. We took about 10 pics b4 this one and this one is my fave. I felt fine when I woke up and during Yumy Buffet but on the way home I felt very ill and Justin had to pull over. I continued to be violently ill until I went to bed at 10:30 that night and I slept like poo. Still felt sick all day Mon and part of Tue. I do not know what I have planed for this weekend. I am going to go nerd out and play some A.C now. I will try to have a more interesting blog next time.

Work makes me boring

So the job is going well for the most part. I hate being the new kid. I hate not knowing everything and I hate not being able to change things when there is a faster simpler way to do them. I am used to being in charge or working where people there know me and know that I am a hard worker and to just listen to me. It makes it a lot more difficult that my place of employment is the busiest it has ever been and I have to smile and take anyone's bad mood for the next four months until they hire me. Over all like the job it works for now. I have not done much since I started this job. I am getting used to this nine to five thing and I do not do anything on week nights thus far at all for fear that I will be up to late and mess up the next day. Ah I just wish I knew everything all ready. Grrr!

checking in

I am tired and watching a movie but I thought would check in real quick. My job is going well, had a great time at the Pete show last night, had a nice date with bunk today, and lots of other good things. It sucks you do not have a lot of time to blog when things are going good but you have lots when things suck. The only thing that sucks for the most part at the min is that I broke my camera, Justin did buy me a warranty so I hope they will replace it.
We went to the Zoo today and I wondered what a baby flamingo looked like so I goodled it thus the pic above. Next time I go to the zoo I am going to bring a pad and paper so I can write down all my questions and google them later because I get lots of them there and the signs although I learn a lot from them never answer my odd questions and I forget them by them time I get to my computer.

Falling into place.

As you all know, I have been a bit lost over the last year. My health was poor, I have felt as I was in a rut so to speak with my relationship, had a very hard time finding a job and so on. Two and a half weeks ago I decided that I was done dwelling on everything that was wrong in my life and to focus on what I could change. I started with working out and then planned on doing the marathon, once the idea of the marathon went into my head I decided it was time to quit smoking. I have been smoke free for 13 days, 12 hours, 6 minutes and 37 seconds. Last night was Justin's last night as a smoker and I a happy that I have inspired him to quit. I started a new job Wednesday and so far I love it. It is temp to hire and I hope I get hired on. I find it funny that I technically graduated at the end of Dec. but I did not have the ceremony until last Friday. I do the walk for my mom and was bitchy about it the whole time. I was just bitter and I had only been smoke free for about five days. The poof a few days latter I got a job. Justin and I are doing a lot better now. I think I was just so unhappy with myself that I looked every thing as bad or could be better. I hope I get hired on at my new job but if not I will find something else. Thank you to my friends and family that had to put up with me over the last nine months or so. Life is good.
