getting caught up....

long time no chat! I should really be reading my book for ethics...but I've read 60 pages this morning already...tonight I will read more since there will be NOTHING on TV until 9...then its my real world and 8th & Ocean time. I will prolly work out on the gazelle while watching them...so I signed up for this 'dieting' website yesterday Sparkpeople its such a great site! You just type in everything, starting weight, goal weight, what days in the week you are going to do cardio and for how long, and it calculates how many calories you need to eat and how many you need to burn each day! Its such a great website! And to help you count calories you do a search on the site for what you ate during the day and it adds everything up for you! I am in love with the site. Its just great! If anyone happens to be reading this and signs up for it, type in ' bigsunglasses ' when you register under referred by!

This past weekend didn't end up as fun as I thought It would have- but brett and I still had a lot of fun just the two of us. I got to go shopping....spent his money on him...bought myself a cute pair of jean gauchos for the concert...which is only um...ELEVEN days away! I am so excited! Kenny Chesney was on the radio station here last week and he said this years stage and show is going to way out do last years- which i thought last years was amazing! This will be my fourth time seeing him! Im so excited...

This weekend brett is commin' up on thursday night and friday we are going to the sports show in the cities, saturday he starts state school in rochester, so I will be at home saturday morning, I will be typing my paper on "mans search for meaning" if I do not get it done throughout this week. Book is pretty good, about the Holocaust, which is something that has always interested me, the only thing hard about writing the book report is going to be trying to find a way for it to tie into what we are learning about in ethics...Somehow thought i guess I will figure it out, Just have to read what other people in my group and class have posted about the book and their take on how it interacts with our classroom text. Thats not completly cheating if I change it up a bit...haha...how else would anyone get through college? JUST KIDDING....

Its almost easter too! Brett said he would decorate eggs with me! So excited!! Maybe we will go to mom and kevin's and decorate them with the boys next sunday instead of going to winona! Im sure I can get brett to come here instead right?

Well, I suppose I better get ready to head into town...going walking with mom this evening and then going to her house and gonna dye my hair...its way to red right now so I need it to be just dark brown!!

[St. Patricks Day 2006]
Oh what a FUN night! The day started out at Styna's house making margaritas, and playing drunken shutes & ladders. Everyone else started to show up around 7 and the party was truley on a roll! Around 10 we all piled into vehicles (sober cabs duh!...mostly sober) and went out to Meatballs house and contiuned the PARTY! It was so much fun there were so many people out there. The night was so much fun! Dancing, drinking, laughing! For sure needs to happen again soon! I had so much fun with Emma & Styna! (and we even managed to be nice to people...at least to their faces!) These are just a few of the 60 or so pics I took throughout the night.

First things First...thank you SO much to digidiva-Kathy for hookin' me up with my saweet banner! I am totally lovin' it!!

Ne way..the title....i got myself into a little bit of an accident Sunday. We were traveling South on 61 in winona...and ended up in the ditch on the NORTH side of 61 facing UP hill....yeah....it was pretty intense and scared the SHIT outta me! It was so damn slushy out...it was NOT my fault! lol. Ne ways its over and i have stoped hyper-ventalating now so we can all breath a little easier! haha.

This weekend was too funny! Saturday we grilled out and had some friends over. Bretts brother, Brandon, has the funniest friends eva! I laughed so damn hard. They were all wasted and I was the only sober one in the house! Oh well, it was a great time though.

One of Brett's best friends leaves friday for Iraq. He has been home for the past two weeks, so the two of them got to spend alot of time together, not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing, but they are funny when they are together!

Got some new scrap stuff yesterday...just some paper- nothing new- just new to me! lol The First Desperate Scrapwives challenge is up today...started messing with mine, pretty sure its almost done! Just wanna look at it a little more before I post it! lol And there should be a new Sassy Scrappers challenge out today too! WooHoo! I need some inspiration to scrap! Have tons of pics...just not sure what to do with them!

BIG INFO! Brett and I are going to Florida this summer! Over 4th of July week. We are going to drive down to Clearwater Beach and hang out for a week. I am so excited!! Now I just NEED a real JOB so I can save some money up so he doesn't pay for everything!! Mom comes home late WEdnesday night from Florida....can't wait to see all my goodies I get from her!! lol Bretts parents leave Friday for Mexico...can't wait till I can go someplace warm!

Now...Im eating a ceaser salad....nummy!
Tonight...Brothers playoff basketball game in Farbault.
Tomorrow...HOMEWORK...yuck!

Fun[ny] Times!!

OMgeeze.....Last night I really did get to go out!! And I had a BLAST!! Started out at Daves with Em ate a steak (deliciously cooked by dave) and then we went to LC to hang out with Kyle and Jason. We had so much fun....here is just a little taste of the fun we had........Me, Kyle, Emma, and ABSOLUT...makes a wonderful night! haha

OH yeah...we really are that sexy! haha...too funny!

Jason isn't scared to be a big man & love little dogs! Drunken Cuteness!! I love us!

So yeah I managed to get my butt into bed around 2:30 this morning. Had to bring grandpa to town this morning at 10...came back home and slept till 1:00 and went to work at 2:00. It was so worth it though! I had so much fun!!

So that was the extent of my night...and now here I am tonight...sitting at home...alone...my dad went to my brothers basketball game with his "g/f" i guess..i dislike her sooooooo much!! And he knows this....and yet she is continually here!! Pisses me off to NO end!! Whatever though...well I guess I should prolly get some nums into my tummy!!!

{Its thursday already- that only means one thing.....}

[THIRSTY THURSDAY!]

Wonderful! I can't wait for the weekend! Saturday at 2 ne ways...when I am done with work and can go to Winona and see Brett...goin to a movie and supper with him and Mike since its mikes last night in town- should be a treat! lol

So I need to get something off my chest...these people out there that are causing drama with the sassy scrappers....its enough. Drama is so over-rated, there is enough of it in this world, that you don't need to be creating it on a message board. And I totally agree with Reva (check out her latest blog) Just because you believe you can relate to us...we do not relate to you. Enough said...oh btw did I mention I very much dislike drama? *Save the drama for yo momma!*

So on a happy note...tonight I get to go out!! (them vodka sours are calling my name...and I even got my mini-bottle of Absolut- totally in love with it!) Yes I know! Its a rarity! lol... Emma and I are gonna go chill at Dave's with him and Andy, and if that happens to get boring we might just head down to good ole' LC! Fin and Timmy are home on spring break (yeah thats way early!) so we will see what happens there!

Oh...and my mom is in flordia...she left yesterday...its like a whole of 20 degrees here and she is wearing a sweatshirt when its 65 at night there...*but i would be too* Im jealous...but I get to go someplace warm this summer (brett has this idea in his head that we are getting in the car and driving south this summer for a week...fine by me!) Plus I get to make a scrapbook for mom of their vacation (and she is paying for supplies Double Plus ++!!)

OP! I went to Target yesterday....walked out spending less than $10 ($9.93) I was so excited for myself! I bought like six things!

I need to go tanning...its cold out and the tanning bed sounds so inviting! Maybe I will go before I get my butt to work today...if that ever will happen...lol..I have to cuz thats the only place I am motivated enough to do homework...horrible I know!

I did quite a bit of scrappin' the last couple of days...Got Sassy Scrappers week #6 done today...My Layouts... check em out!

I need to get going...shower, paint nails, lotion, hair, make-up, clothes, being a girl is so hard!
