Fun Times at Mizzou

2005-08-24T22:42:00.000-05:00

Well...I'm living in Columbia now, and I just started my Junior year of college on Monday. So far, it's a little stressful. I'm taking all business classes which kind of sucks. I just feel like I have so much to do since in each class I'm getting all kinds of reading assignments and what not. I'm living in the apartment with Kathy which is great so far. Last night, Kathy and I went to Jaana and Jamie's apartment and hung out there for a while. Then, we went to visit the oldest tree in Missouri because Kathy loves it and thought we should see it. After that, we went back to our place, ordered pizza, and just sat around and chatted. It was just Kathy, Jaclyn, Chris, and I. Tonight was really fun...first, Kathy cooked dinner for me, Jaana, and Jamie. Then Jaclyn, Chris, and Curtis came over, and we played Catch Phrase. It was a really great night. As of right now, I'm actually staying down here this weekend, but that could all change. Anyway...I need to go to bed since I have a 9:30 class and because I'm tired...I'll probably write again soon.

Vacation

2005-08-16T16:53:00.000-05:00

Well...this past week I was in Key West, Florida. The trip was okay. It was really pretty down there, but there just wasn't much to do except shop...which is fine with me, but there was a lot of walking. The only eventful thing that happened was I got into an accident. My dad and I rented scooters (or mopeds...whatever they're called), and apparently, I wasn't ready for the street. As soon as we pulled out into the parking lot, I slammed into a car. I don't know what happened...I think I just freaked out. So that turned out into an expensive trip. But anyway...I'm getting ready to go back to Mizzou for the Fall Semester. I'm living with my friend, Kathy, which is going to be a lot of fun. I'm actually driving down there tomorrow to move some more stuff down. Other than that, nothing too exciting is going on. Well, I'm gonna go because I'm shopping on Ebay right now, and I'm having way too much fun.

It's Been Awhile

2005-08-06T09:30:00.000-05:00

Well...as you can see, it's been awhile since I've written on my blog. One big change is that I'm now at Mizzou instead of UMSL. I actually made the change, and I'm sticking with it. My roommate sucked last semester, but this year, I'll be living with my friend, Kathy, in an apartment so that will be much better. I turned 20 in June, and Kimberly threw a party for me which was a lot of fun. Another change is that this summer I didn't get to work at my usual job in the X-Ray Department that I worked at for over 2 years. I ended up getting a job at the Bridgeton Day Camp as a camp counselor. I had a group of girls that were ages 8-9 which was so much fun. I loved it so much. I got to work with Kimberly and Megan which was fun. I actually got to work with people my age. Camp ended last week. I'm sad it's over because that means school's going to be starting soon, and summer will be over. Summer goes by way too fast. Something sad that happened this summer was I had to put my dog, Nikko, to sleep. It was really upsetting since I've had her for 13 years. I leave for Key West Tuesday. It might be kind of boring since this year Kimberly won't be going with me. It will be just me and the family. It should still be fun though since I'll be on the beach. Well, I have to go take my dog, Midnight, to the doctor, but I'm going to try and keep this blog up to date.

Kimberly's Birthday!

2004-09-04T09:53:00.000-05:00

Yesterday was Kimberly's 22nd birthday! The whole gang met at the O'Brien's around 8. When I first got there, the replacements were there, but luckily they did not go. Michael got there around the same time I did. I was so glad to see him! Kimberly and I miss having him around. Everyone started showing up after that. Kimberly opened her presents from everyone. She got LLCoolJ tickets from Kevin, Carrie, Dave, and Matt H. Kevin and Lindsay gave her a kitchen set which looked like fun. Michael got her a couple bottles of wine. The rest of us got her a gift certificate to Target so she could buy things for when her and Patrick move out. We left to go to the City Museum around 8:30. I think we had like a total of 20 people that went. It was so much fun! It was kind of crowded, but it was still alot of fun! Everyone seemed to like the big 3-story slide. I don't know how many times I almost peed in my pants. I hope everyone had fun. It seemed like they were. Dave, Kevin, and Carrie left early. The rest us stayed until 11:30. After that, we went back to the O'Brien's. We didn't really stay too long. Everyone was pretty exhausted from the City Museum. Then, I just went home and went to bed. My dad left for China around 7:15 this morning. I can't believe he's going to be gone two-and-a-half weeks! I'm not sure what I'm going to do today. I want to go to the Chesterfield Fair and Air Show so I can see Ryan Cabrera. Katie and I were supposed to go, but she might go on a float trip so hopefully, she doesn't end up going on that. Well, I'm going to go watch some TV and maybe read.

August's Almost Over!

2004-08-27T07:28:00.000-05:00

I just realized that I hadn't written on my blog in the longest time! I completely forgot about it. I'm not going to go into detail about my vacation to Florida. It would just take up too much space. That vacation was from August 8-15. That night I got back, I went to the O'Brien's for the "Mizzou Going Away Party." It was a fun party. The next night, I went back to the O'Brien's. I said goodbye to Kovarik. On that Wednesday night, I went out to dinner with everyone since Michael was leaving on Thursday. We went back to the O'Brien's, and I said goodbye to Michael. Oh, I started school that Wednesday (8/18). That's going okay. I don't really like two of my teachers, but hopefully, I'll get through the classes. Friday night, was Danny's birthday so I went to the O'Brien's again for that. It was also fun. On Saturday, Kimberly, Patrick, and I drove to Mizzou for the night. When we first got there, I got to see Michael and Kovarik's rooms. We sat with them for a little bit. Then, I went to Kathy and Sarah's apartment. Megan, Carly, and Sarah's sister were already there. We just went to a couple of parties that night. The next day, we just went out to lunch, and then I went grocery shopping with them. Kimberly and Patrick picked me up around 2:45. This week has not been too exciting. I've basically just been going to school and work. Although, I did go shopping to Old Navy and Kohl's which was fun. I'm about to get ready to go to work. I only have to work from 9-1 so that's not bad. Well, I'm going to go change and what not. That's what's been going on in the month of August.

Trip to Oregon

2004-08-02T19:08:00.000-05:00

I went to Oregon with Kimberly and her family from Thursday to today. We got back to St. Louis around 3. It was a fun trip, not the greatest but still fun. We had to stop in Phoenix before going to Portland. Kimberly's parents picked us up from the airport, and we went straight to the hotel. We got settled there and went swimming. Kimberly's Aunt Joanne came over with her husband, Ed, and daughter, Andrea. They went swimming in the hotel while we went downtown to eat. We ate at some restaurant in the "Alphabet District." It wasn't that good. The service was bad, and the food wasn't that good. The downtown area was so neat. It just had a bunch of tiny shops that had been houses. The apartments down there were neat too. After that, we went back to the hotel and went to bed. On Friday, we went to Joanne's house and got a tour of that. We left to go to Seaside, OR where we were staying by the beach for two nights. It took about an hour and 45 minutes to get there. The house wasn't actually on the beach, but it was still nice. Kimberly, Bobby, Katie, and I had to sleep in a room with 2 bunkbeds. Rend ended up sleeping in the room with us also. Bob and Kathy had another room, and Joanne and Andrea had the other. We walked to the beach which we thought was a couple blocks away but ended up being a couple miles away! I was so excited though to see the ocean. We went to the outlet mall in the afternoon and bought tickets to see "The Village" later that night. Kimberly and I decided to stay at the beach house and make macaroni while the others went to a pizza place. Kimberly and I couldn't find any pots so we decided we would cook the macaroni in a tea kettle (I know, we're not that smart). It didn't work out too well. The macaroni melted onto the bottom of the tea kettle. It was so funny. We went to see "The Village" which was the close to being the dumbest movie I've ever seen. The good thing was that the refreshments at this movie theater were so cheap! I wanted to buy everything on the menu just because of the prices. After that, we went home and went to bed. The next day (Saturday), we went to KFC for lunch and went to the beach again. Katie and Bobby rented wet suits and boogie boards. We watched them for a little bit then Kimberly and I decided to go shopping. We had some stalkers in this one store. They were creepy boys. We bought some shirts from the little boys section of a different store, but they were only $10. It's so weird that they don't have sales tax up there. After, that we did such a fun thing. We rented this bicycle-type-golf cart thing. It's hard to describe, but when Kimberly and I were driving it to the house, I squirted a little because we had to keep pulling over to let cars go by us. When we got the house, everyone wanted on it. It was so much fun. We had it for an hour so we went all around the town. We wanted to go through a drive-thru, but Dairy Queen didn't have one. It was great! That was a really fun part of the trip. Later that night, we all went out to eat to this bar and grill. It was really good. After that, we did some more shopping. I bought a sweatshirt from the same store I bought my t-shirt from. After the shopping, we went home and made S'mores. The next day, we went to Church and then got ready to leave to go back to Portland. When, we got back there, we took a little nap, and then went to Joanne's work so she could look at Katie's ear. We also went to the mall downtown. It was really neat. It was divided into 3 buildings and was 4 stories high. After that, we went to see where Ed works and then went to meet his parents. They were the cutest people I'd ever met. They're from Italy so their accents are very strong. It was so funny. When we left their house, we went to the hotel where we said our goodbyes to Joanne, Ed, and Andrea. We went swimming after that. We wanted to go to bed early because we had to wake up at 5 the next morning for our flight, but somebody was out in the hall talking . . . Anyway, this morning, we went to the airport and what not. I was just ready to come home. Overall though, I had a good time. I'm glad I went. Well, I'm going to go for now. I think I wrote a little too much.

July's Almost Over!

2004-07-25T12:50:00.000-05:00

This weekend was the last full weekend in July. On Friday, I was going to go with Natalie to a party, but she decided not to go so I just went to bed. During the day on Saturday, I ran some errands. I went to the bank, post office, and Kohl's. Then, I went home and got ready to go to Lindsay's new apartment. I met PJ, Danny, Michael, Matt, Bobby, and Danny Bessmer at PJ's around 7. We got to Lindsay's around 8. She lives really far, but her apartment is so cute! For it being her first apartment, it is decorated so well. I had a lot of fun there. There weren't too many people, but it was still fun. We were going to play Scattegories, but we didn't have any batteries for the timer. We just sat around listening to PJ say the weirdest things. We left around 12:15. Today, I'm going to the boys' hockey game, and then probably to Gram's for dinner. Well, I'm going to go get ready for the game since I have to leave in less than an hour.

The Funny Bone

2004-07-19T16:51:00.000-05:00

Yesterday, I went with Kimberly and Megan to watch them do their talent show dances. I was supposed to be helping them think of dances, but I didn't do too much of that. We met at Megan's apartment which is so cute. Then, we went to where she works so they could have room to dance. We ended up staying there until about 6. Kimberly had tickets to The Funny Bone for a 7:30 show. I was going to go, but I didn't think I would have enough time to go home and change and be at Westport by 7 so I just went home. Kimberly called me around 6:50 and said she would wait for me in the lobby if I wanted to go. I got ready real quick, and got to Westport around 7 anyway. I was there before Kimberly even got there. She had picked up Michael and Jimmy. We were meeting their friends from day camp, Matt and Lauren, up there. We were the first people at The Funny Bone so of course, they give us the two front tables. I was a little nervous because I didn't want to be picked on by the comedians. We let Lauren and Matt have the front table. The first opener was not good because Kimberly and I had seen him before, and he did the exact same jokes which was stupid of him. You would think he would have made up new jokes by now. The next two guys were funny. One of them did pick on people in the front so I was nervous, but he ended up just picking on Matt and Lauren. The headliner was very funny! I couldn't believe how much I was laughing. Kimberly got a little drunk during the show. She was slapping herself for a bit because her face was numb. It was so funny. After the show, we went to Casa Gallardo's for some food. I didn't get anything, but I was very entertained with Kimberly. I think she was keeping everyone entertained. After that, I just went home and went to bed. I worked this morning which went by real fast. Today is a sad day though. Tonight, we would be going to the Britney concert. Too bad she had to hurt her knee or we would be seeing her from the 12th row. Oh well. I'm off tomorrow. I might go to Aquaport because Kimberly and her day camp are going there. I tried to call Katie to see if she would go, but she didn't answer her phone when I called so who knows if I'll actually go. Well, I'm going to go watch One Life to Live. Bye.

Boring Weekend

2004-07-18T08:51:00.000-05:00

This weekend was not very eventful. On Friday, Laura and I went to see "Anchorman." That movie was hilarious. I loved it. After that, we just came back to my house for a little bit. On Saturday, I did absolutely nothing in the day. I pretty much watch "I Love the 90s" all day. That show is not as good as "I Love the 80s," but it's still funny. Then, I went to dinner with my mom and Grandma. After that, my mom and I did a little shopping. We went home after that. Kimberly called me around 9 to see if I had heard anything, but no one had called me so I assumed nothing was going on. She hadn't heard anything either so I just stayed home because I'm cool. Now, I'm at my grandma's. I just got done eating breakfast from McDonald's. I think my mom and I are going to go to Target. They have a microwave for $29 that comes with a free George Forman Grill so I figure I can use the microwave for Mizzou. I thought I better get it while it's cheap, and you get something free. Well, I'm done writing about my boring weekend. See ya.

A Mini Vacation

2004-07-14T17:48:00.000-05:00

I haven't written in a while. I just got back from Branson today. It wasn't a long vacation, Sunday through Wednesday. Our condo was really nice. Basically, all I did, was go to the pool/waterpark, some shows, and out to eat. It was an okay vacation. It was nice having some days off work so I could get a tan. I'm not really sure I got tanner, but I did get a little more pink. Oh well. It was nice coming home to see my puppies, but I do not feel like working tomorrow. Luckily, there's only two more days left in the week. Well, I'm done talking about Branson so I'm going to go finish watching "I Love the 90s."

Fun at Sarah's

2004-07-09T09:48:00.000-05:00

Last night, I went to Sarah's house for a barbecue. I got there around 8:30. Megan Hartnett, Kathy, Jamie, and Jaana were already there. We sat outside for awhile waiting for the hot dogs to cook. When they were done, we went inside because the bugs were biting us. After we ate some barbecue and cupcakes, we did a little stalking which is always fun. Sarah was angry because Andy's car was at Grossie's house. To get back at him, Megan and Kathy did some funny shit to his car. It was nothing damaging, just kind of smelly and germy. It was hilarious! After the fun stuff, we went back to Sarah's house. Carly and Megan Hasse came over. Kathy decided she wanted to put make-up on someone. I said I'd do it...bad decision. She made me look like Frida Kahlo, the Spanish painter. She drew a uni-brow and put dark lipstick on...it was really scary looking. Kathy also decided to tease my hair...also very scary. It was so funny though. After I washed all that make-up off, I decided to go home because it was getting late. I left around 1:00. I'm at home now listening to the hottest boy sing, Ryan Cabrera. I'm not sure what I'm doing tonight. Dave said something about seeing Anchorman tonight. That movie looks so funny. Today was my last day of work until Thursday! YEA! It's not that big of a vacation...just Branson, but I need a tan so that's why I'm going. Well, I'm done writing for today.

Jessica Simpson Concert

2004-07-08T13:53:00.000-05:00

Last night, Katie and I went to the Jessica Simpson concert. It was at the UMB Bank Pavilion. It was such a good concert! We had really good seats (8th row!)! Ryan Cabrera opened for her. When he first came out, I didn't think he looked as good as he did on the Ashlee Simpson show, but then, he started playing his guitar and singing, and he just became so hot! Katie and I acted like 13 year old girls. Before his last song, he said that he was going to be giving out 300 signed CDs after he was done. You should have seen the girls running over to get in line for those. Katie and I decided not to go over there at first, but then we decided we wanted to get closer pictures of him so we darted over there like the others. Katie got some cute pictures on her camera phone. We made that our screensaver because we're dorks. I took some on my throw-away camera. I'm getting those developed after work. After that, we went back down and sat in our seats and waited for Jessica. I was so excited when she came out! She sang some a couple of old songs but mostly new ones. People were chanting, "Where's Nick?" throughout the concert. Apparently, he was at the Cardinals-Reds game which is neat! The concert ended around 10:45. We knew we were going to have to wait a long time to get out of the parking lot, but first, we had to find my car! It took us a really long time to finally find it. We had remembered approximately where we parked, but we just could not find the car. It didn't help that a lot of people have Cavaliers. I needed a very distinctive one! Maybe like the Horizon. Anyway, I got home around 11:45. Well, that's all I have to say about the great Jessica Simpson concert. I enjoyed it a lot!

4th of July Weekend

2004-07-05T09:21:00.000-05:00

This weekend was the 4th of July! I didn't really do too much. On Friday, Laura and I saw Spider-Man 2 which is so good. That was the second time I'd seen it. It was still great! On Saturday, I layed on my ass during the day. I watched the first Spider-Man, and then I went to Kimberly's later because we were going to Kevin Rossel's house. People were going over there instead of the O'Brien's. The boys played cards most of the time. Kimberly, Patrick, Jimmy, and I watched a movie. We didn't stay too late. Sunday was the 4th. My mom and I went down to Ricky's land because the whole Brown family was going to be down there. We took Lucy with us. I went down to the creek and rode the quads which was fun. We only stayed about 3 hours. After that, we went to Gram's for dinner. Then, I went to Kimberly's. She, Michael, and I went to B-Mac for the fireworks. Kimberly wanted to find some of her campers. It was fun watching the fireworks. After that, we went to the O'Brien's. That wasn't really fun. Nobody was doing anything except playing cards and watching TV. We left around 11:30. Today I'm off work. I don't know if I'll do too much since it's raining outside. Well, I'm done talking about this weekend. So until next time...

Spider-Man 2

2004-07-01T09:12:00.000-05:00

Last night a bunch of us went to see Spider-Man 2 at West Olive. We got there 45 minutes early so we could get good seats. Apparently that was not enough time. The line for seats was unbelievable! It wrapped around the hallway about 3 or 4 times. We were pretty much at the end of the line. When we got into the theater, we had to split up because there were so few seats. Michael, his sister, and I ended up having to sit two rows from the front. We saved seats for Kimberly, Patrick, and Rend. They ended up getting there late, but they didn't really miss too much of the movie. The guy in front of me was dressed as Spider-Man which was funny. The movie was really good though. I enjoyed it alot. After the movie, I noticed someone was dressed as the villain. I guess some people were very excited about the movie. Anyway, I'm at work now. It's not really busy today because two doctors are out of town this week. LeeAnn (my boss) asked me to stop by her office today. I was a little nervous because I didn't know why she wanted to talk to me. It was good news though. She's giving me a $50 bonus! She said it was a thank you for helping with the transitions between X-Ray and MRI and that whole big mess. Oh well, it's an extra $50 for me! After this, I'm going to the orthodontist. I decided to get a new retainer for my bottom teeth because they're looking a little crooked. Well, that's all I have to say for today.

Doctor's Appointment

2004-06-28T17:11:00.000-05:00

Today was a great day at work . . .because I got to leave at 12:30! I had to go to the rheumatologist for my knee. She said that the pain in my knee is due to the mal-alignment of my knees, not the arthritis so I guess that's good, except for the fact that my knees curve a different way than they're supposed to! She said it's not a big problem, but if I wanted to, I could go to physical therapy to make sure it's nothing bigger. She told me to help the pain, I should do some exercises to strengthen my quads and take Advil when needed. At least the arthritis is not the factor so hopefully I won't have anymore problems with that. I'm off tomorrow which is nice. Kathy and I are supposed to be going to lunch and the pool. I'm not sure what pool, maybe Tiemeyer or Aquaport. Kimberly's going to Aquaport tomorrow with day camp so that would be fun, except it would be crowded. Tonight, I went to the O'Brien's which was fun. I like just sitting around and chatting with the boys. Kimberly and I didn't stay too late since she has day camp. Well, that's all I have to say about today.

Oh So Sick

2004-06-27T12:13:00.000-05:00

I'm not having a very good day. Last night, I was supposed to go to Kevin and Carrie's apartment, but I started getting a sore throat around 4:30 so I was worried that it would be strep throat, but I don't know where I would have gotten it from. Around 8 I started getting a headache and chills. Michael had left me a message saying people were going over to the O'Brien's so I called him back and told him I wasn't going since I did not feel well at all. I tried to eat some French Toast, but it hurt so bad I started crying. It sucked. Today it's not as bad. My throat doesn't hurt, but I still have a headache, and I'm very pale. Hopefully I will be fine by tomorrow. Well, I'm done writing about this weekend.

T.G.I.F.

2004-06-26T15:40:00.000-05:00

Last night I went to the O'Brien's with Kimberly. When we got there, some of the boys were playing Washers. We sat around outside just chatting, well it was mainly Kimberly and Michael talking about Day Camp, but it's fun to listen to some of their stories. The boys barbecued hamburgers and steaks. I had a hamburger which was good. We sat out there until about 10:30 then went inside because it was chilly out there. We watched some TV including Conan, my favorite late night boy. It was hilarious! After that, Kimberly and Patrick left, and then Michael also left. I was just sitting in the garage with Casey, PJ, and Matt H. Luckily, Kevin Rossel called me in the other room to get me out of that awkward situation. I went outside with him, Danny, and Kovarik, and we just sat and talked while Danny barbecued a pizza which I thought was kind of odd to barbecue a pizza but whatever. After we were sitting out there a while, Danny Bessmer came over, and he was so drunk. We were just laughing at him and making fun of him. He was falling all over the place. It was great. We went back inside, and I decided to go home because I was very tired so I left around 1:30. It was a fun night. Well, that's all I have to say about last night. I'm not sure yet what I'm doing tonight. I think Dave or Matt H. might have people over so hopefully that will be fun. Well, I'm going to go workout before I take a shower.

Matt Nathanson Concert

2004-06-24T13:27:00.000-05:00

Last night I went to the Matt Nathanson concert with Michael, Kevin, and Carrie. This was my birthday present from Michael. It was a really good concert! I enjoyed it alot. When we first got there, there were two openers. We didn't know who they were. I didn't really like them, but that's probably because I didn't know any of their songs. While they were on, Carrie and I were just sitting down making fun of people's butts because that's all we could see. We were looking for hot boys. Matt Nathanson came on around 10. He sang until about 11:15. He was making jokes between songs about Journey and all kinds of other things. He was funny. I just came home after the concert since I had to work this morning at 8:30. I just got home a little bit ago from that. Nothing exciting happened except for some reason there was a big conversatin about marijuana. I don't know how they got on that subject. Anyway, I'm going to go change out of my work clothes and go get something to eat soon.

The City Museum

2004-06-22T21:26:00.000-05:00

So today was so much fun! I went to the City Museum today which is one of my favorite places to go! I went with my aunt, cousin, Grandma, and Mom (I know I'm cool). My other cousins Dylan and Ryan were supposed to go, but Ryan ended up getting sick last night so they didn't go. I wasn't sure if it was still going to be fun since it would just be Ellen and I playing, but it was! We got there around 9, and we were the only people there which was nice. It was mainly just Ellen and I going through the tunnels and stuff although my mom did go down one slide but ended up peeing in her pants a little bit so she didn't do that anymore. We did the Enchanted Caves (which was not worth the extra $5) and MonstroCity outside which was fun, but I have huge scratches on my back from the wired tunnels, but it was fun at the time. Inside we did the three-story slide and all kinds of other things. It was just a fun day until it started getting crowded with day camps and others. After that, we went to Wendy's for lunch. Then, I came home and watched my soap opera and layed around because I was exhausted. Then, Chuck came over for dinner, and we went to Mary's to celebrate Denny's birthday with some cake. Now, I'm just talking to Kimberly and Laura online, and I'll probably be going to sleep soon.

"MoNdAy, MoNdAy"

2004-06-21T20:07:00.000-05:00

So today is Monday, which means the beginning of another work week. Not very fun. But, work today actually went by really fast. It was kind of busy so that probably helped. After work, I called Kimberly to see how her first day of camp was, and boy was she excited! We decided to take back the Britney tickets today. SO SAD! Although it is nice to have gotten $80 back, I would have rather seen the concert. Oh well. After that, we went to Target. I ended up not buying anything, but I did see something I will have to buy soon. It's some kind of curlers that create the cute curls, but who knows if they actually work. Then, I got some Dairy Queen and came home and watched One Life to Live. Then, my dad and I washed my car. Now I'm sitting her thinking about why I still haven't heard from Mizzou about my scholarship. I assume I'm not getting one, but who knows. I tried to e-mail them, since they told me I would hear about it by the end of May. They have not replied. I guess I will have to call them. Tomorrow I'm off work which is exciting! Not really since I have nothing planned. It will just be a day of relaxing. Well I've finished writing about my day so until the next time...

My Weekend

2004-06-20T12:51:00.000-05:00

So this weekend was okay. I didn't really do much. On Friday night, I went to the O'Brien's where we went swimming for a little bit. The boys just kept playing games while Kimberly and I tried to do Washer and Dryer and play catch. Kimberly's friend from camp, Matt, ended up coming over later with his girlfriend which happened to be this girl, Lauren, I played basketball with for 5 or 6 years. That was very random running into her. They didn't stay long though. I went home after that. On Saturday, I didn't do much in the day, just sat around watching the One Life to Live marathon and some VH1 shows. Then, around 7, I was talking to Laura online, and we both didn't have anything to do so we ended up seeing a movie. We saw Saved! which is the movie with Mandy Moore and Macaulay Culkin. It was actaully really funny! I didn't think it was going to be that good, but it was. Then, we went to Taco Bell, and then went home. Today, is Father's Day so I have to go to my Grandpa's for dinner. We'll probably be leaving in an hour or so. Hopefully, we don't have to stay too long. But, I do hope that Claudia comes and brings the new baby. That would be fun because she's just so cute, and I love playing with her. Well, I have to get ready so I'm done writing.

No Work!

2004-06-17T13:33:00.000-05:00

Today has been pretty good. I went to work this morning. The morning went by real fast. Then, Theresa and I got Domino's for lunch today which was so good. While we were eating, the lights went out in the whole place. It was so dark, but Theresa and I kept eating anyway. We're not going to waste our pizza. The lights went out around 12. After lunch, I went back to my department. The doctors were still seeing patients by using flashlights, but they couldn't get any x-rays. We all just sat around talking until the boss came in around 1 and said we could all leave. Apparently, the lights were out all around us too. It was dark at the mall and by Dougherty Ferry, and they were sending everyone home so my work also did that. I was so excited. I didn't feel like working today anyway. Well, I'm going to go watch One Life to Live so I'm done.

Britney Cancelled her Tour!

2004-06-16T14:01:00.000-05:00

This is not a very good day. I'm still sad about the Britney concert in July being cancelled! I heard the news last night. Kimberly called me to tell me Megan told her. I thought maybe the news people had gotten it wrong so I looked it up on the internet. I found a couple articles saying she had announced it yesterday that the tour was cancelled! I was so sad. My mom was saying how I'll at least get my $80 back, but I would have much rather seen her concert from 12th row. I read that she says she's going to return to the cities, but who knows if we'll get good seats again! Oh well. Hopefully, a miracle will happen, and she will be able to still come, but it's doubtful. Well, I'm done writing about this sad event.

My Weekend

2004-06-14T19:44:00.000-05:00

This weekend was so much fun! Friday night was my surprise birthday party which was just great! I already wrote about that though. Saturday, I didn't do anything in the day but lay around. Then, later that night, I went to Chris's Graduation Party which was fun, but I didn't stay too late becuase I was so tired! Then, Sunday, I did a little shopping in the afternoon. I went to Gram's around 4, and then Kimberly and I went to Danny's Graduation Party which was a lot of fun! We played some Rummy, Taboo, Washers, all kinds of games. It was so much fun. I only stayed until 10:30 because I had to work this morning. That was okay. The day went by real fast. I almost didn't finish my work this afternoon becuase I had so much to do. Usually I'm so bored throughout the day. Then, I came home and watched One Life to Live which was so good. Now, I'm at Gram's with Lucy doing nothing. I'll probably go home soon so I can shower. Well, I have nothing left to say so I'm done.

Surprise!

2004-06-12T09:10:00.000-05:00

Last night was so much fun, and I am so gullible! Here I thought Kimberly, Megan, and I were going out to dinner and then back to Megan's apartment. I thought Megan and I were picking up Kimberly at the O'Brien's because she got a flat tire again! When we got to the O'Brien's, I saw Bobby's car, and Kimberly said we needed to go inside because her and Michael had started a game of Rummy. I thought Bobby must have already fixed the flat tire because when I looked at her car, there was no flat tire. Then, when Megan and I were walking up to the house, and I turned the corner, I saw all kinds of balloons and streamers. I thought, "Hmmm...I wonder what's going on?" Then, when we walked in the door, everyone yelled, "SURPRISE!" Kimberly and P.J. had planned a surprise party for me! I almost peed in my pants! I was so excited! Then, I saw that Sarah and Megan Hartnett were there which made me happy, and Carly and Kathy were coming later! It was just too much for me to take in all at once! It was just the nicest thing! Here I thought Thursday night no one stayed for my party which made me sad! But, they were just doing that to trick me, and they sure did! They even had a cake for me and flowers! I got some gift cards to Target for a lot of money which was so generous! The IWA girls got me Mizzou stuff which was very exciting! I was just too excited! They had jungle juice for me which was very good, and it got me a little drunk. I had a lot of fun though playing Suits with Kimberly, Megan, Matt H., Megan H., and Sarah. Katie showed up later which made me very happy because I rarely see her! Natalie and Jon also showed up later! When I went outside, Kevin Wesner picked me up and threw me in the pool! At first, I was not happy because I had a white skirt on, but it was just too funny to be mad! I had a really good time! The party made my day, even my week! But, I think I'm going to go eat some breakfast so I'm done for now.

My Birthday!

2004-06-11T16:16:00.000-05:00

Yesterday was so much fun! I had a really great day! I went to Six Flags in the morning from about 10-3 which was a lot of fun. We ended up going to Hurricane Harbor. I got so sunburned! I look purple. It's kind of gross, but at least it will turn tan. It wasn't really crowded in the morning so that was nice. David, Bobby, and Pat were supposed to meet us there, but David's car broke down on the highway so they never made it. Molly called me while I was there which is so random since I haven't talked to her in a really long time. Then, after Six Flags, I came home and got ready to go out to dinner. We ended up eating at Lonestar. It was my mom, dad, grandma, and Kimberly. The service was bad, but the food was good, and I got a free dessert which wasn't that good. After that, I went over to the O'Brien's for a little bit. That was okay. There weren't many people there. I didn't stay too late though since I had to work this morning. I'm excited about tonight. I'm going out with Kimberly and Megan which will be fun. I can't wait to see her new apartment. Well, I have nothing else to say so I guess I'll go.

One Day Until My Birthday

2004-06-09T16:07:00.000-05:00

So tomorrow is my birthday, but I'm not really excited about it. I was supposed to be going to Six Flags, but I think it's going to rain so that sucks. At work today, my department threw me a little party. That was kind of fun. They had a cookie cake and snacks. The cake was so good! I got my eyebrows done today which was nice since I was starting to look like the Werewolf Man. I'm going up to my Grandma's for dinner and cake now. Well, I guess I'm done since I have nothing left to say.

Kovarik's Graduation Party

2004-06-06T10:02:00.000-05:00

Yesterday was a really fun day. Kimberly and I played some games with David, Bobby, and Pat in the afternoon. We beat them in Taboo and Cranium. They were being big assholes throughout the games. Oh well. Too bad we kicked their asses anyway. Then, Kimberly and I went to see Raising Helen which was a really cute movie. After that, we went to Kovarik's graduation party which was fun. Danny and I beat Kovarik and Michael in foosball! That was fun. We stayed there until about 10, then went to Nate's graduation party until 12 or 12:30. Oh man, when Kimberly, Michael, and I were playing 31, Kimberly was trying to imitate some whore and ended up breaking the chair and falling over! That was the greatest thing! I'm surprised we didn't pee in our pants. It was too funny. Then, I went home. Now, I'm at my grandma's waiting to go to lunch. Well, I'm going to go now since I have nothing left to say.

It's the Weekend!

2004-06-05T10:18:00.000-05:00

So last night was a lot of fun! First, I went to my cousin, Ellen's, dance recital which was kind of boring, but I think the little kids are so cute! Ellen did a really good job. I saw Eric Pena there which was weird, but I didn't get a chance to talk to him because he was with his dad and his girlfriend's parents. After the recital which was over around 10:15, I went to the O'Brien's house which was fun. At first, a bunch of us were just sitting outside talking. Then, we decided to play Taboo. We played about 3 or 4 games. The last one we played, I ended up having Danny Bessmer and Nate on my team which was kind of weird since I had never really talked to them all that much. We only lost by 2 points which is better than I thought we would do. After that, I just went home. Today, I need to go to a store to get Kovarik a graduation card. I don't know what kind of gift certificate to give him so I guess I'll just give him money. Tonight is his graduation party which will be fun as long as the whore is not there. Well I'm going to go for now since I have nothing left to say. Maybe I'll do something productive like workout but who knows.

Carly's Birthday

2004-06-03T07:41:00.000-05:00

Yesterday was Carly's Birthday. We didn't really do anything. I went over to her mom's house around 10. Kathy, Sarah, Megan, and Megan were there. We just sat and talked for a little bit. Then, we went to McDonald's to get some food. Then, Steve called Megan and said people were playing Capture the Flag at the park by Carly's house so we went up there, but we decided not to play because it was a bunch of people we didn't really know, and we didn't have the right clothes on. We sat up there for a little bit, talking and watching them play, but it was pretty boring watching them so we went back to Carly's mom's house. We were talking about all of our fun times we had at IWA, and Carly showed us this book she and I had to make in the 3rd grade which was funny seeing that. Then, I went home around 1:00. Now, I'm about to get ready for work so I'm going to go do that. Bye.

First Day of June

2004-06-01T21:01:00.000-05:00

Yesterday I went to Dave's Memorial Day party which was so much fun! We just all hung out and played some games and ate some great tasting watermelon. I beat Kimberly and Michael in Gin Rummy which was great! It was just a fund ay. Today is the beginning of June! Summertime! I had to work today but just from 9-1 because I had to go to the dermatologist this afternoon. I don't know why I go to him. He doesn't know what the thing is on my leg, and everytime I see him, he just tells me that over and over and gives me different creams to try. Oh well. I'll probably just go to my family doctor, and he see what he thinks of it. Anyway, I just got home a little bit ago from the hospital where I visited my Aunt Claudia who had her baby today. She is the cutest baby! I just loved holding her! Now I'm at home trying to decide if I want to go over to the O'Brien's or not. I probably won't go becuase I still have to shower, and I'm kinda tired. But I'm going to go watch Real World and eat something now.

Nicki's Graduation Party

2004-05-30T18:51:00.000-05:00

Today was my cousin, Nicki's, graduation party. The party was at their house instead of Gram's where we usually go on Sunday. It was a fun time. When we first got there we decided to jump on the trampoline. Gram was yelling at me because I'm not supposed to jump on it because of my juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. I did anyways though since I never really got to jump on them when I was younger, and my knees were already swollen. When we were playing Crack the Egg, my knees ended up hitting me right in the face! I just now saw that I have a big scratch under my eye AND a HUGE bump on my forehead. I didn't notice it earlier, but I felt it on the way home so that sucks. But, anyway, then we were going to play Cranium, but we got in a huge fight so that didn't happen. So we played Taboo, Boys vs. Girls. The girls ended up winning (of course)! Then, we just went home. I had to rush home to make sure my puppies were okay and weren't scared of the storm. But, now I'm going to go watch some tv so I'm done.

Memorial Weekend

2004-05-30T08:01:00.000-05:00

So this weekend was fun AND I still have another day before I have to go back to work! YEA! On Friday night, I baby-sat Ellen. We went to Dairy Queen where we saw Steve working, and then went back to her house and watched Cheaper by the Dozen which was actually a good movie. Then, on Saturday, I didn't do anything in the day except watch some of the I Love the 80s show which are hilarious. I took a nap since my mom woke me up at 8:00 that morning to take Lucy to play with Holly. Then, I was going to go to the Funny Bone, but I decided to go out with Kathy, Megan, and Carly instead since I really never get to see them. At first, we were just sitting at Carly's chatting and waiting for her other friends to come over. Then, we went to Nolan's house since he was having a party. It was so fun! I got to see the Ritenour boys we used to hang out with which was cool. I saw some of the people Katie hangs out with so I thought she might come later so I called her phone, but it was off. Later, Kimberly told me she went to the Lake so that's why her phone was off. Then, Megan Hasse came later. It was just great fun! Now, today, I'm going to Nicki's graduation party at 3:00. Hopefully there's not a huge ass storm. That would suck. But I'm going to go eat some breakfast so I guess I'm done.

Almost the Weekend

2004-05-27T16:12:00.000-05:00

Today was another okay day at work. It was real busy in the afternoon so that went by quickly which was good. Then, I came home all excited to watch One Life to Live, and I notice my stupid ass forgot to put the tape back in the VCR. Now I have to watch it at 8:00 tonight. I am not too happy. Anyway, I was so excited when it started raining really hard. I was just loving the thunderstorm! Well, I guess I'm going to go watch OLTL now. Bye.

Another Crappy Day

2004-05-26T17:10:00.000-05:00

Today was not too exciting. The weather is still crappy, but I love thunderstorms so that's okay. I worked from 9-3, but it wasn't really busy today so that made the day go real slow. I had to sit there and listen to that weirdo Martin. I will be so happy when he is done working there. I want to find out if I'm getting a raise or not. Theresa told me usually when your department fills out the evaluation forms, you get a raise. My anniversary date is coming up soon so I would think they would let me know. Anyway, on the way home from work, I talked to Kimberly and she was telling me how she heard a rumor about Britney being pregnant!! She better not be or I will be pissed because we have really good seats for her concert in July. That would just make me very mad. Hopefully, it's just a rumor. When I got home, I saw a brochure for the residence halls at Mizzou which I was very excited for! Then I watched One Life to Live which was alright. Now I'm watching Conan, the funniest man! I can't wait to watch the American Idol finale. I hope Diana wins! Well I've got nothing else to say so see ya.

Lazy Day

2004-05-25T16:34:00.000-05:00

So today was a waste of a day off from work. I didn't do anything productive. All I did was go to Target and The Galleria to do some shopping even though I don't need anything at all, but I was just so bored I needed something to do. I didn't even buy anything which is weird for me, but my mom did buy me some birthday presents (which, by the way, is in 16 days! YEA!) Then, I went to IHOP for lunch, came home and watched One Life to Live, and did absolutely nothing but lay on the couch. I was just feeling lazy since it was crappy outside. Now I'm just at my Grandma's because Chuck's coming over for dinner. I hope I do something later tonight so I won't be bored out of my mind. I do have one thing to do at 7, and that's watch American Idol! Alright, well I have nothing else to talk about so I guess I'm done.

Back to Work

2004-05-24T20:41:00.000-05:00

Today I went back to work after a weekend consisting of very little sleep. Nothing really exciting happened except I found out this weirdo temp from my department is not going to be working there anymore after next week! YEA! But, anyway, after work, I came home, then went to Wendy's for some dinner. Then, my mom and I went to Kohl's to do some shopping. I didn't buy anything though, but I did look at all kinds of things for Mizzou! I was looking at towels and new bedspreads, and it was just so much fun! I was getting too excited! Too bad I can't go there in the fall though. I don't think I can wait until winter! I was going to go work out at New Lady Fitness since it's the last day for my membership, but I just did not feel like it. I'm feeling lazy today. Then, I came home and watched One Life to Live which was entertaining. Now, I'm getting ready to watch The Inferno which I'm very excited for. Bye.

First Blog

2004-05-23T21:26:00.000-05:00

So this is my first blog. Kimberly thought it would be fun if I created one so we could read each others (even though we talk everyday anyway). She'll probably be the only one that reads them, but that's okay. Last night I went to Sarah's house because she was having the IWA girls over, and it was so much fun! I ended up staying there until 3 in the morning! We just chatted and did some stalking, ha ha. But anyway, today I didn't really do much. I woke up kinda late (well for me), 10:15. I went to Gram's for Sunday dinner. David, Bobby, Kimberly, and I played Taboo and Guesstures which was fun. Right now, I'm getting ready to watch the South Park episode about Mel Gibson and The Passion. I've seen it before, but it's just so funny. Well I guess I'm gonna go since I have nothing left to say.
