digging through my computer

I'm trying to find one specific pic that I want to put on my blog, but can't find it, I've found some other of my old stuff though. I don't know how much of this I've already posted, so forgive me if they are doubles, but I know for sure that I haven't posted this Photoshop doc below... besides Amadon, does anyone else get it? It pretty much sums up what I love to do. You might have to enlarge it to see the detail. It doesn't look too hard, but it took me a good 2 weeks to get it done. Who knows maybe you'll all understand the concept right away and think I'm stupid for thinking you won't get it...

Does any one get this pic. I made it in Photoshop, and it has 60 layers. Please let me know if you get the concept... 

can you tell what this is? 

oooo pretty 

This is a pic I love, I took it for a photo class to show extreme contrasts in subject matter. what do ya think? 

This post doesn't deserve a snappy title...

I realize I haven't been posting much... besides those silly quizes; that went over quite well I might add... That is because I just don't have much to say. But if you want to continue reading, be my guest cause the following post will definately bore you...I'll give you my past week in cliff's notes...

Mr. Pie was sick for a few days. He threw up all over the apartment. it was gross.

I went to DL and hung out mostly with Amanda and Butto. We went to the movie "Hitch" was hilarious. Then we went to Josie and Amadon's and hung out there. Poor Josie is going to throw up her baby I think! There isn't anything else in her tummy...I really enjoy haning out with Amanda lately, we always have something to talk about, and I find her extremely intellegent and fun to talk to about everything because she sincerly sounds and acts interested in everything I have to say.

I only have one shift left at Sears. Last Monday I royally F*&$ed things up, and made tons of mistakes, and I felt like an incompetant fool, a first class idiot and social reject for about 2 days, where I wollowed in self pity, and got overly emotional... then I got over it.

At the hotel, Jan has been acting funny, I think I did something to annoy her, but what are ya gonna do... I'm sure she'll be better this week.

Kevin moved some of his stuff home. We threw our couch by the dumster today (don't know how many UND rules THAT breaks... but who cares) and Erik and Ray are bringing the futon and Kevins other big stuff home with them tonight. Kevin comes home for good on Wednesday

I have to make the schedule for the hotel... but SOMEONE didn't install MS Word on my computer, so that plan is out. Now I might just go there today and work on it so I don't have to do it tomorrow, and I don't have distractions like guests and phones.

Tab told me there was a 911 dispatcher job open in DL. It pays well too, but seriously, do I have what it takes to save peoples lives and make split second decisions... probably not. But it would be an interesting job, thats for sure. I'd be up on all the latest gossip and have it "in" with the PoPo... hm...maybe I'll apply.

Moving back to DL is getting scarier... but more exciting everyday. I'm gonna miss a WHOLE bunch of things about Grand Forks. like the size. But DL has it's advantages too. Kevin will have a good job, and we'll be close to friends and family. Although I'm leaving all my friends here. I'm sure I'll find a job in DL, I just hope it is something I'll like doing. I'm not all that picky, I can do pretty much anything, if I have to I'll work at K Mart... for a little while that is.

Okay, so that was my week, not too interesting huh? Hope everyone has a good week!

Cupid 1 me 0

I went to Doug and Karissa's tonight, (minus the Karissa) and Doug and I made o.. I mean, hung out. I brought over some of my photos and he is going to try to draw one of them, maybe, if he finds one worthy. Anyway, we were hanging out and he is watching Karissa's mom's (once Karissa's) dog Cupid. Don't let the name fool you, he is not in any way loving. He greeted me by growling and a little bark. Just to let me know he did not agree with me invading his space. Then it seemed he warmed up to me a bit, he let me pet him a little. Then I reached down and he nipped, but missed my arm. Okay, I deserved that. Then later I reached down to pet him again (yup I really am that stupid) and he bit me, grabbed a hold of my fingers and gave them a quick tug. He drew blood on my pointer finger and left nice teeth marks on the rest of my fingers. I don't blame him one bit, he gave me PLENTY of warning that he didn't want me to touch him. But he looks sooooo CUTE! Little Shi tzu. After he did it he looked like he was chewing on something, I hope I didn't hurt his mouth in anyway. He is an old dog, and his teeth probably aren't in the best condition. So Doug poured peroxide on my wound, and now I have an neon green bandade on my finger. I feel really stupid because I should have known better, I know Cupid and know not to mess with him. But I learned my lesson.

That story isn't that interesting, but it is more for Karissa anyway.

But just for the record, Karissa, if my finger gets infected and they have to amputate it... I'm soooo sueing your ass! :)

One week, and two days...

Till KEVIN comes home for GOOD! He is home now for the weekend. We went to Sams Club today and got a bed frame to fit our king bed we got from the hotel. The bed is just about if not over half the length of our bedroom! It is HUGE and now I have less room to pile stuff in, which means I'll be forced to keep our room picked up.

This weekend has been crazy at the hotel! There has been stuff happening that added together just makes for one big jumbled mess. Everything will calm down tomorrow though I'm sure. Poor Amber... I'm sure she just wants to quit after the night she had last night (her first night alone). Two rooms not cleaned, and laundry was horrible, and the guests were mean and rude and just a bunch of wieird things... The night before the keys were lost, and then the till was so messed up... uck. Jan comes back Monday, I'm sure she'll think the place just fell apart without her. Sucks too cause I wanted to prove I can handle everything without her... oh well you win some you lose some.

I officially put in my two weeks at Sears. Lisa said "oh... thats soooo sad, we're gonna miss you, Oh I'm just gonna cry!" I'm sure she was being a little dramatic considering I never really see them except when we are changing shifts and she's leaving. Betsey doesn't know yet though, hope she isn't mad. I'm glad I got to work there for a while though, I learned some new stuff about photography and I liked the people I worked with.

Well, I know that wasn't much to talk about... but nothing too exciting has happened. I think for my next post, I'll think of something interesting to say, something that will spark conversation, something that will make you think "hm.. that APril, she's so smart.."

T minus 18 hours!!!!

Kevin comes home TOMORROW!!!! I'm excited because the house is all squeaky clean and I'm just sooo happy I'll get to see him and have him all to myself tomorrow!

I had a long day today. I wokd up a little earlier than usual because I had to bring Mr. Pie to work with me today. The housing guys are coming to switch out our furnice filters and we aren't allowed to have pets, so he couldn't be here when they were. He did NOT like the car ride there either. Then I put him in a room and he hung out there all day, I got off work at the hotel at 3 but I decided that since I work at Sears from 5-9 I would just leave him at the hotel because I didn't want to carry him into my apt. in broad daylight. So I went to work at sears and I had absolutely NOTHNG to do. No sittings, no sales, just kind of sat there, cleaned... sat there... closed... yup... I'm putting my two weeks in.. I'm just not liking it there at Sears. I wanted to do Photography, not sit on my ass for 4 hours. I understand that things may speed up, but really, I just don't know if I like it anymore. Plus there is always this negative feel to the place, because I always feel like I'm doing something wrong, or if I do something wrong, I'll make people mad at me. But I wrote my letter, and was going to give it to the Manager, but chickened out cause I like Betsey and I feel kind of bad for getting all trained in, then quitting. But I've realized that if there is something you don't want to do, and you are an adult.. then don't do it.

Anyway, after Sears, Amber, Blake and I went to the Ground Round, it was fun! It was nice to go out after such a long day. Then I picked up Fuzzy Butt, and he cried all the way home. I felt like I was hurting him, like I might as well have been whipping him and calling him "BAD KITTY!!!" But we got home and he is still in one peice, I don't think I'll ever get him to set paw inside that carrier ever again though. Michelle called me (Night Auditor at the Hotel) apparently one of the other workers left with the keys... that is a very huge problem, and they can't get a hold of her. I guess we'll see how that plays out. I'm going to bed now, I'm going to sleep to have dreams about reuniting with my long lost hubby!!

A day just like any other day... but with NO headaches!!

So I had a pretty productive day today. I went to work until 3, I went to sears to get my schedule for the next couple of weeks, I went to the bank, I went out with Angela, I cleaned my room (which is a lot more involved than it sounds, trust me!) I did laundry, I cleaned out the fridge and I read more of the Da Vinci Code which I have been reading forever because I keep putting it down and forgetting about it, I should have been done with that book a long time ago! I find the Da Vinci Code a facinating book. I was raised Catholic and just ask any of my high school friends, I was all about it. I was in SHYP (Senior High Youth Program) and I have always loved being catholic. I love the "rituals" that we do and I love the music that is played at church. I like all the "glam" of being catholic; The priests in robes, chanting, incense, the beautiful religious paintings and stations of the Cross on the walls. I like the way the church echos, and I like the way I feel around all the people that go to church, peaceful and safe. Now for the scary part... (Doug this ones for you)....

I think I've been loving my religion for all the wrong reasons. Now Mom, and anyone else from my family that reads this, I'm not going to turn luthern, or athiest or anything... so just hold on... The Da Vinci Code is SOOO mind opening, and you have to read it to understand. Doug knows a lot about religion, and reads books like this all the time, so I'm sure I found it way less exciting than I did, and he probably understood it more than me, so I'll have to ask him a bunch of questions when I'm done reading it.

I don't want to go into the book or anything, because it would just be too long of a post. But the ideas they spread out in this web of facts and myths are so interesting that I want to go out and read all I can about the true meaning of the Holy Grail and sooo much more. This book has really made me think that maybe there is a lot more to this whole Jesus and God thing that I don't know, and I feel a little ripped off for not being exposed to different religious theories in my past. I don't blame any body for that,of course, because everyone has the "right" religion for them.

I don't even want to start on the whole religion thing.. so pretend I just said "I like the book I'm reading right now"

Anway, I have not had a headache today, hopefully tomorrow will be just as great!

I made this just for all of you! I can be talented sometimes! I didn't get time to really make it pretty, but its what I can do in 30 minutes! 

Bemidji...and all it's glory...

So Doug, Karissa and I went to Bemidgi to see Kevin yesterday. I finally got to see the shit hole that he calls home while he is there. OH MY GOD! I can't believe he has to live there. I knew it was bad.. but just look at the pics below, my god, they speak for themselves.

We met up with him at the hotel. We didn't do much last night because we got in pretty late. When Kevin and I went to go to sleep, we pulled down the sheets and they had a huge blood stain on them... HUGE. It was through the sheet and the matress pad. So I called the front desk and the poor woman came up and apologized till her face turned blue and I kept saying I know it happens, I know it isn't your fault, just give me new sheets and blankets and all is well. We went to Perkins for breakfast, and we were off to explore Bemidji. It is Sunday, so everything was closed, so we drove around for a long time just kind of looking around and stuff. We went to see Paul Bunyon and his blue Ox, Babe. We were there for like 1 minute just to snap some pics. We went to the mall, but didn't go into any of the stores, because we have them all here in GF, so there was no point of staying. Then we just hung out at Kevins apartment, where outside his door (in the woods) there were cool animal tracks in the snow. Some of them looked like bear tracks, but Kevin assured me that they were rabbit tracks (the two are obviously similar... or something like that) I still thnk they were bear tracks. There were deer tracks, cat tracks, bunny tracks and unidentifiable tracks. A couple doors down, there was a woman cooking on a small camping grill as her daughter played on the hood of the car in a thin sweatshirt. I can't imagine more than ONE person living in those rooms... poor family. There was one door with 2 kid bikes and laundry hanging from the door frame, we got the idea that more than 3 people lived there.

We ate at this very cool resaurant before we left, it was called Union Station, and we felt a little under dressed, but it was good food, and the atmosphere was calming. There was a fire place in the center of the room, the room had low lighting, and the walls were wall papered with maroon velvet, and huge paintings of trains and wooded scenery. It was spendy, but worth it in my opinion. It was kind of like me and Kevin's Valentine's day dinner.

We left Bemidji (and Kevin) and drove 2 1/2 hours home in the rain. So, our trip wasn't too exciting, but It was nice to see Kevin and where he is when I don't see him. It was nice to leave GF, even if it was for 24 hours. I got home, and my kitten is POURING on the love, he must know tomorrow is Valentine's day. :)

My head hurt so bad yesterday that I had to leave work. I felt like I was in a daze for hours. I went home and slept until i had to work at Sears for 2 hours. That sucked because there were babies and they were both screaming their little heads off and I wanted to run and hide and cut my head off. By the time we left for Bemidji, I was feeling better, but not 100% I'm going to try to see an eye doc. in the morning before I have to go to work at the hotel at 3. I get to work with Amber tomorrow! YAY! It should be fun. Oh, it's almost 11, I suppose I better call Kevin before he thinks I died on the way home. Enjoy the pics, they are quite funny.

I love Minnesota because it is full of these kind of trees. I think they're pretty and I want to live in a place where my house is surrounded by them. 

This is an old building that isn't a hotel anymore (I don't think) I thought this was pretty funny though... 

Paul Bunyon and Babe, his ox. Yup, they are really big, and that's about it. 

This is Kevin... This is THE WHOLE ROOM, I am standing in the corner right by the door, there is nothing missing in the shot, except for the small cabnet in front of me that the tv is on, and behind me is the "scenic" wall that is in a different pic 

Their way of "decorating" the place, on one wall..  

GROSS shower that I would NEVER step foot into. You can tell there used to be a tub in that space because look how the shower stall just sits there... eww eww ewwwwwww  

Bathroom, yes it really is THAT blue.. 

crappy PROPANE heater... funny, there are electric base board heater IN the apt. but they don't work. you walk in and all you can smell is propane..safe? 

bad pic, but you can see his 2 buner stove/fridge and kitchen "area" this is the whole kitchen 

their set was realy cool. It wasn't exactly like this pic, the one we saw had more of a castle feel, but the celtic stuff all over was awesome 

This isn't the same group we saw.... but it was pretty cool! 

LORD OF THE DANCE

We (Blake, Jan and her husband Blaine, and I) went to Lord of the Dance. I thought it may be a little... cheezy, but it was really cool! The set and lighting they has is AMAZING... and the dancing.... I mean really, who can move their feet that fast!? The whole group is together and they move so fast and smooth it looks like they are gliding across the stage! I thought it was going to be more... folky... but it isn't at all, and it isn't all riverdancing either, like most think. Most of it is, but some of it is just.... dancing and telling a story. I liked it, and we had really good seats.

So I really really really miss Kevin now. He only has three weeks left, but still, he isn't here, and I'm all by myself. I was going to drive back to DL tonight at 11, but I decided I'm too tired, so I'm gonna get up early and go down just for the day. I'm going to apply for the graphic design job for the Journal. We weren't planning on moving down there until May, but they are hiring now, and DL isn't exactly full of opportunities for me, so I don't want to pass this up if nothing like it is going to be available when I get my butt there.

So here is another addition to why I miss my hubby... careful you may cry.

I miss him because I can't sleep right without him. I've been waking up like every hour. I toss and turn... and I'm crabby, just ask anybody.

I miss him because he cooks for me... and I don't... so I'm eating a lot of boring food that I can make in like 3 minutes... in the microwave. I should really start cooking some time... I am a wife.

I miss him because he watches the History channel, and even though I moan and groan all the time... I actually don't mind it. When I start watching the stupid channel I actually learn something, and thats not too bad... I'm becoming dumber because I don't watch it if he doesn't make me.

I miss Kevin because he remembers to charge the mouse for the computer. I don't, so it dies and I can't blog.

I miss Kevin because when I have a bad day, he just hugs me, and gives me kisses, and lets me complain and when I'm done he cheers me up, EVERY time. Without him, I stay upset until I talk to him later that day.

But the reason I miss him the most, is because I know he is miserable in Bemidji, and he HATES it there, and there is nothing I can do about it. I can't hug him and tell him its all worth it in the end. and I'm SO SORRY that I can never come visit him.... I know he will read this so I AM SOOOO SORRY I Can't come see you this weekend. Your job is keeping you from me for 9 weeks, my job is keeping me from you for one day.

Anyway... I love him and I miss him... and I need him here with me!!! and I don't get to have him here on Valentines day, and I don't get to see him for two weeks. But I guess that is nothing compared to wives of soldiers in Iraq... I'm glad I'm not them... So Kevin I love you and I'll leave you all with pics of Lord of the Dance... enjoy!

FOR JOSIE (AND AMADON)

Some poems I found online for you... nope I didn't write them myself...

Surprise
As I write this I am aware
of Feelings Deep of How Much I care

You grow inside me little heart beating strong
though I had my doubts I now know it's not wrong

You weren't planned but now I know
how much you are wanted as each day you grow

I pray for your health I ask God each day
to let you be healthy in every way

You aren't an accident you're not a mistake
you're the best of surprises two people could make!



Beginnings

A baby to hold and to love,
a creature so tiny, so fresh and so new.
There's nothing more important or special
that two loving people could ever do.

Who will the baby look like
will it be a he or a she.
Part of him, part of her,
a creation that is meant to be.

All we could ever want for our baby
is very simple and very plain
It's to be happy and content in life
and know our love will never wane.



The Baby

I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes,
I just got news of a big suprise.
I wish you were here ,
for me to hold you tight,
To kiss you to hold you,
And give you advice.

I am at awe just like you,
I'm wondering what should I do,
How can I help you, in what way,
All I can promise is,
I'll be with you every step of the way.

I wonder and wander about,
What must you be thinking right now.
All alone in your world,
Thinking and thinking,
And pondering about ,
How could this happen,
How and why Now.

ODE TO MY DADDY

So I don't know WHY I thought of my dad... but I did. Don't worry Mom and Alicia, I love you guys too, and you will get a post all your own soon... My dad's name is Dwight Gary Keck. He is 6'7" and used to be a hippie with long blond hair. He works very hard at the School for the Deaf and he is the Plant Director. He's worked there for like a gazillion years.. (25 I think) Don't think about it lady's... he's still married to my mom. Sorry for the disappointment.

WHY I LOVE MY DAD
Growing up, he used to play with me. He played with me at the lake in the water, he tickle torchered me until I screamed (not cool at the time, but makes for some good memories) He would take us snowmobiling, and took me for rides on his motorcycle when he had one.

He makes the best peanut butter toast. I don't know why, but when he made it, it was always better.

Many of my friends have said how much they like my parents. So yay for them, they are the "cool" parents. They feel comfortable around him

My dad can be SOOOO silly. He makes me laugh all the time. He makes stupid jokes, and when he tells stories about his day, he even uses funny voices and makes funny faces (it is really comedic coming from a 50 year old man)

When I became an adult, he has never really told me NOT to do something, or to DO it... I chose and prepare for the consequence of my decision.

He calls me and leaves me messages saying "just thinking about you and wanted to know what you're up to" how cute is THAT!

His wallpaper on his cell phone is a pic of me and my sister.

I've never seen him treat my mom without respect. They are the only parents I know that don't fight in front of their kids... in fact I can't think of a single time when they fought in front of me... hm.. never thought of that before.

THINGS I'VE LEARNED FROM MY DAD
I've learned that I have to make my own mistakes and learn from them.

Shit happens--- and you just have to deal with it sometimes :)

You have to laugh at your own stupidity sometimes

don't wear too many baseball caps... you'll go bald. (I kid because I love)

Don't lean too far to the right or left on a tube while the boat is going 50 mph... you'll flip over... hard.

I've learned more, but I can't think of them right now. So anyway, that is my dad. I LOVE YOU DAD!!!!

What Makes A Dad

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it ... "DAD!"

what to do with myself

I'm bored... very bored... so bored I'm making a post about it. I blame myself, I don't feel like leaving the apartment, and I don't feel like watching tv, and I've checked my email like a gazillion times in the past 2 hours. Everyone is doing this or that and I don't work tomorrow until 1 at Sears so I could be staying up late, but whats the point really?

Funny thing happen today... I fed Mr. Pie about 8am yesterday, and his food dish was STILL full this morning, that is odd because he usually DEMANDS food twice a day. I thought maybe he isn't feeling well so I gave him fresh water, and decided to call the vet if his dish was still full when I got home from work. I got home and forgot all about it (I really do care!) I went into the kitchen and saw his dish was still full... then I saw a funny little site. "odd" I thought to myself... "I don't recall my cabinet having a fuzzy tail" There was Mr. Pie INSIDE the cabinet under the sink... only his fuzzy butt sticking out. I open the cabnnet and there he is...with his WHOLE head inside the UNOPENED bag of kitten chow! He managed to open the cabnet and chew a hole in the side of the bag. Cat food ALL OVER inside the cabnet. I wasn't mad though, it was too cute. When he noticed that I was watching him, he pulled his head out of the bag and looked at me and gave me the biggest, loudest MEOWWWWW I think I've heard come out of him. Whats even more funny is that the OPENED bag of cat food is just sitting on the counter, easily accecable to cats that aren't afraid of hights, or jumping.

WOW.. I really am bored... sorry you had to read all that.

Last night at Sears, we had absolutely NO sittings scheduled. So I called Blake, and he and his roommate, Jeff, came and I took their pics. I got two more of the required 20 sittings done. Now I only have 12 left. Hopefully I'll have more tomorrow being that I work earlier in the day, when kids are actually AWAKE and moms bring them in to get their pictures taken. We had a lot of fun! Unfortunately we don't have many props for adult men, so we have a pic of Blake on his tummy holding an umbrella with a big rubber ducky wearing a rain hat next to him. I also set up the large numbers (you know that ones that kids stand next to to show how old they are) Blake is going to be 21 soon, so I set up the numbers for him.. it was cute. Jeff had some pics that were funny too. Picture in your head,if you will, a 20 year old on his tummy holding a small flag in his hand and a cute little sailor's hat on his head laying in front of a cheezy flag backgrount. Karissa is going to bring Isabella in tomorrow too (if Little Lady is coopertive at that time of day tomorrow)

Good news, I woke up WITHOUT a headache today, and it stayed that way until about 10am when this guy started to varnish and lacure (sp?) the tables in the lobby. The smell was so strong and annoying all day! I started getting a headache from the fumes around noon, but it went away when I got out of there.

okay, thats about enough random ramblings from me today.. unless I get really really bored later...

Grrrr...

So there is this big long situation at work that would take my whole blog to explain (and I'm not sure you would all realy care anyway) but because of this situation, I am stuck working odd shifts for the next two weeks. okay I'll let you in just a little... there is this girl (I'm her supervisor, and make the schedule) and she is having emotional issues right now... okay thats too bad, we all have those days... well first she says she needs to have this day off and that she'll make up for it Saturday the 12th. Okay, so I schedule her for the 12th and give her the day she was asking for off. Then I find out that she is trying to find someone to work for her that day... no one will. Then for some reason she starts telling everyone I hate her... first of all I rarely have ever said i HATE ANYONE. Second... I like this girl for the most part. I don't like being her supervisor and I don't necessarily like working around her VERY SPECIFIC NEEDY schedule ALL THE TIME... but I don't NOT like her. I've never told ANYONE I don't like her... anyway...tangent... So then she all of a sudden is having these emotional issues and I come to work yesterday at 7am and find a note saying due to "health" problems she isn't able to work her shifts this weekend or next weekend. Well she was scheduled to work after me yesterday so guess who had to work 12 hours... me. then I had to work tonight instead of this morning and I have to get up in 7 hours and work tomorrow morning. AND guess who gets to fill her shift NEXT weekend... ME! The weekend I was going to Bemidji to see Kevin and his place. This is the SECOND time my plans to do that have failed. But I understand this is all part of my job so I can't be too upset, just venting I guess.

My manager talked to this girl (for like an HOUR) and still didn't FIRE her even though this isn't the first time we have had problems like this with her. I feel bad that she is going through a bad time, but EVERYONE has lives, and I know that most of the things she can't 'deal' with are problems she has caused for herself, and she gets herself way too worked up over things that most people would consider minor. That is NO reason to just leave a "sorry I can't work my shift today or the next couple of weeks" SHe had the WHOLE month of december off, and didn't help ONE BIT during the World Junior Hockey Tourny.... We have all broken plans to fit HER schedule and I can't remember a time when she did that for us.

I hate girls... so damn dramatic all the time... oh wait I am one...I hate myself when I get that way too.

Anyway, wow that was a long rant... opinions anyone?

I went to the doc yesterday about my headaches, she looked me over a bit, and found nothing unusual that would be causing my headaches, but she did find a swollen and inflamed eardrum... funny my ear doesn't hurt. But she gave me meds for that and they make me sleepy, it sucks. And I still have a headache...

Okay, I gotta be at work in 7 hours.. better get some sleep, thanks for reading this post, if you made it this far, you're a real trooper!

MOVING!!

I went to DL for the day, last night we played a little poker again, I think I'm catching on more now. I went home to get my car's windshield wiper pump thingy fixed, but it couldn't be fixed because there is something wrong with the hose... or something like that... all I know is that I can't clean my windshield and that sucks.

I STILL have a stupid headache, I think I'll make a docs appointment tomorrow.

So Kevin was offered a job in Devils Lake, and we made up our minds today... we are moving back to DL so Kevin can work for Altru. I think It'll be really good for him to get a foot in the door. Plus we'll be living in a place where houses and living expences aren't so high so we can pay off student loans. We'll be close to family and friends and if we don't like it, the contract is only for one or two years.

Our friend Jess (who currently lives in California) is coming back to ND to visit for a week or so, I'll have to get to DL to see her!

Even Josie's cat Baby got into the game...  

We played a few hands of poker, this is me WINNING! I never win a hand, so I was pretty excited! 

This is josie, she was very tired. The colors in this pic turned out kind of funny, but I like it! 

ahh... can this blog get any more CUTE! 

goin' home

Last minute decision, like always, I'm going home tonight. My car needs some work, and my dad offered to help find someone to fix it. The weather is pretty nice so driving conditions shouldn't be that bad. I have a headache still, I went to this all natural organic store and they have a medical book with symptoms and remedies. Apparently I'm lacking in Magnesium... and some other stuff too. So, I may buy a multi-vitamin to help me replace whatever it is I'm lacking. Tylonal and all those other pain reliever aren't working AT ALL so I'm willing to try whatever. Kevin even tried to Physical Therapy me better (which usually works great if it is tense muscles) but it didn't work AT ALL. Anyway, I'm rambling, the point of this post is in case I die driving home, there will be this post for everyone to read, caus I'm paranoid like that. If I do die, can someone please feed my cat? :) Oh and I want my body donated to science (for real) Wow, talk about issues....

Til next time...

awww... cute!

I found this picture on picture.com. I don't like it because the first thing I thought was "nice going MOM, get the camera, who cares how DANGEROUS that is!"
