I was thinking today. In Febuary the day I left for Hawaai it was -20 degrees (F) . The last two days (july 20th and 21st) here it was in the 90's. Only in Minnesota can there be a 110 degree temperature difference in 6 months, Don't you just love it?

Yesterday was only the second day the newset Ikea store was open. Lucky for me I had the day off and it is close to my house. Let me tell you, it is quite awesome! First of all it is Huge, unbelivably huge. It is three floors. Think three home depots stacked on eachother. It has amazingly neat showrooms full of furniture, furnishings and fun products. Second of all, it is CHEAP. The stuff is really trendy and modern, any had has somthing for everyone. It is all resonably priced, so muc...

Jaysen refuses to go to a barber or hair stylist to get his hair cut. He thinks it a waste of money and does it at home. It had been about 3 weeks since his last cut and he was deciding whether to trim it, or do a shorter buzz cut. He decided on the short buzz, and accidently put the wrong gaurd on. Of course (since the common sense did not prevail) He ran the clippers down the middle of his head, and was shocked. I now have a bald close shaven head hubby! Thank goodness that his hair g...

After a super crappy day at work, I got home about 7:45 and was exhausted. My darling hubby was watching the twins game and didn't want to miss a second, and I was to tired to even zap somthing in the microwave. My Jasyen asked how I felt about Chinese... I felt great about it! We called in an order to Happy Garden Chinese in Downtown Minneapolis. In less then 15 minutes a nice guy showed up with a bag full of treats. Chicken fried rice and Jasmine rice for me, Beef fried rice and sweet an...

Ok I think I need to learn the lesson of NOT keeping things that are heavy on shelve above my head! I just had Jaysens tool box fall out of the hall closet and onto my foot, while tring to pull off a bag on the same shelf. OWWWWWW! It hurts bad. I cant tell if it is worse when I put weight on it, I think it just plain hurts. THere is a nice little bruise already though! You would think we would have learned this lesson before. I mean, Jaysen had the Iron fall on his head while putti...

I had high expectations of my day off today. I was going to get up early, clean the house, do laundry, pay bills and call my Grandma and see if she wanted to go to lunch. Instead it is now noon and I have done nothing. I watched Saved by the Bell, and the news. I need to move off my butt! Maybe a nap would motivate me! Just kidding, I think the first step is getting out of my pajamas!

This morning I got a call from an friend Kristy and it really made my day. Kristy and I worked together last year and really hit it off. We spent a ton of time together, and she even lived at our house for a while. In Febuary she moved back to Michigan, and we kind of lost touch. We moved, and our phone number changed, Our cell phone numbers changed, and she does not use email. Then the phone rang this morning and my Kristy is on the line! She had tracked down my number. (Which is amaz...

Why did I drink a soda at 10 pm? It is now 2:15 am and no sleep in sight!!!!! I tried laying down for an hour to no avail. I was sure I would be fine having a can of Cherry Pepsi. Apparently not. I need to be up for work in 5 and 1/2 hours, and I can't even fall asleep. Bah! I have a feeling come 7 am, I will feel like I could sleep just fine. Story of my life!

Tonight Jay and I went to Ikea to get a new duvet cover. Unfortunatly they were out of stock for the one I wanted, so the old one is just going to have to do for the time being. Luckily though we got a new coffee table that works really well for our living room, it is more sturdy and a better match to the wood on our entertainment center. Best of all it was dirt cheap!!!!! I really like Ikea and all, but I notice that the lights there give me a headache, so I am not as much a fan as I w...

I would like to preface this by saying I have never not been offered a job that I have interviewd for, so today was a first lesson in disapointment. Last month I applied for a promotion and have been working my butt off to prove myself. All my superiors kept telling me how impressed they are with me and so on... So I finally got my interview for the positon a week ago. The interview went alright, and I knew that there were other applicants that they would interview before I found out. ...

I have been really busy, but am still alive! Look for a new article coming soon!

Of course as soon as I felt I was "finding Myself", I fall back to square one. I feel lost. I am having a rough time right now. People I thought were my friends, are not. I feel like my kindness is taken advantage of, and I am sick of it. I am bitter. I have lost some really important friendships these last few months and most recently, and it burns. People you thought would be there forever are leaving you. I think I put way to much energy into friendships. Screw it. I give up....

It may be shallow, but I want to be famous. I think a big part of me is still in awe of the idea of my name in lights, camera's flashing. I know being famous can suck a lot. But I want to be the center of attention. I want to be the name on everyones tounge, if only for a day. I wish I was a model or an actress. I want to see my name in the credits, to view myself on the big screen I want to sign autographs. I want to be beautiful, to wear expensive gowns, to debut the latest fashion...
