The weekend was fun!
went as follows...
Friday:
we went out for supper...fish fry- nummy
Target- spent like my only spending money of the weekend...its horrible when you have too much time on your hands and you are browsing the "endcaps" (aka clearance) at T's.
Had an hour before movie- so we went to Applebees and had a few drinks at the bar:) fun
Went to see Gridiron Gangs- Amazing movie! I almost cried at like 4 different parts...a must see!
Saturday:
Got up- supposed to go to the Walker Art Center...got directions on the road..directions lead us to residential area....went to Anchor Paper Factory instead. Got stuff for my SSS will send that out this week!
5pm was Kailens 10th Birthday Party- had a few drinks had fun- many laughs
Lumpy had a 2 kegger...love these parties - so much fun
There was drama- like always- but didnt happen until after I left..but it was because of me...if only SHE would just get over it! honestly girl (can't call her a woman) it was two years ago and you two were not even togehter--- and it was only a kiss.....all started by him! Im not a SLUT!
got drunk had fun- went home slept great!!
Sunday:
Did nothing- Brett and I looked up random things online...I uploaded pics from the previous day. Brett watched football (the vikes...he was being tourchered - hes a packer fan) Went to town to pick up my pics and some supper....turkey roast, mashed potatoes, beans- so nummy- came home hung out and watched Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
Great weekend of basically nothing!


Brett finds out this week if he got the job in Fargo, ND.
I am excited and nervous for him.
He has been on edge since he interviewed.
I hope he gets it.
I would love to move and start a life somewhere else.
Can't wait until he finds out either way so he will not
be so on edge!!

Thats all.....it was way better before- colorful and all..
oh well...
Im going to go and be bored more.......

MIA (no longer!!)

My ring has been found!! I am so excited!!!
My brother found it out by Jake.
We were at MOA when I found out- screamed
right in the middle of the mall.
Then got embarassed because I was in the
middle of the mall- oh wel!

So today was a blast- I will post pics tomorrow- too lazy
to get up and get the camera and all that fun stuff.

Getting the ring resized tomorrow- can't wait until
it fits and I can wear it all the time!!
Flippin right!!!!

I want to scrap really bad- But I need to sleep
My back is killing me- the pain killers are kicking in and
making me tired- so I shall go to bed!!

Scrap Fest Review.....

So today I went to scrapfest at MOA.
It was not exactly what I expeceted and I am
glad that I did not buy the "badge" We were able to walk around all of the
vendor booths since they were just in the isles between the stores.
They just had their make and takes and pages made with their products-
not sure what I was expecting- but I didn't get it. haha

I did manage to spend $50 at Archivers. Got:

  • BG Gypsy
  • HS papers
  • Cosmo Cricket
  • MME
  • HS chipboard (2 types)
  • Cloud 9 papers to use for my rolodex swap
  • k&i color theory (pink) for Crystals B-day album
  • and a ton of other stuff.
and a free ($10 value) Dotto perm. adhesive roller.
figured i'd use that more than the bag that was my other choice!

Can't wait to use it all!!

Got my pictures printed off from last weekend.
Tonight we are going to a "kegger" even though
I don't drink beer
so that means..

I get to go to the Liquor store and buy alcohol
for the first time by myself- haha

Tomorrow is Game day! We are going to my moms
to play some board games. and she is making supper
I can't wait! I haven't played games in forever!!

9.08.2006

The ring is lost......:( :( :( :(

but- im getting a metal detector tonight to check outside where I was when I lost it-
Sohopefully it will turn up
if not- I don't have it anymore-
and that is sad....

grr!!

9.05.2006

21 and ready for fun!!!

First off- thank you to the girls on 2peas for the birthday love!! The cards rock and I can't wait to get them in my own hands!!! Thank you so much!

My birthday WEEKEND was great! Camping was fun (other than the rain all day sunday) but got some good 4-wheelin' time in and drank quite a bit- Had a great time! Here are some pics:

Make a wish!
Wheelin through the creek

I love wheelin' with my BIGSUNGLASSES! First *legal* drink!

Happy Birthday Cheers to Me!!

And on to the b-day presents.......
My ring from brett- wearn' it on my pinkie right now until I get it fitted.

I also got a Samsung S500 digi camera and some awesome scrap stuff and money to spend on scrappin' stuff!!!


8.29.2006

6 (six) days!!!

Yes that would be SIX days until everyone can say HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!
Im so excited!
I love my birthday-
I have every right to be selfish on MY Day right?!

I am so excited for a weekend of camping and drinking and having a blast with family/friends!


Okay- so here is a picture I took the other day with my camera- using some of my "skills" learned in photog class this past week. I can't wait to start actually shooting with the 35mm camera and developing my own pictures- should be very interesting!!


THis week is filled with homework- getting everything for this week and the start of next week done- I can't believe they actually think its okay to have homework due on Labor Day- no classes- should mean the same for us Online students!! but whatever!!

okay one more pic of the bridge because I love it!

8.22.2006

Layouts-




A few layouts I did late last week. Using some of my awesome stuff from my SSS!! (a sheet of paper and half a ribbon- lol)













And finally- 2 1/2 years later My senior pics in an album.
Using Junkitz- love it!!

Today I got to play with the cameras for a bit- found some useful websites and printed some stuff off. I am going to makemyself a little cheat sheet so I memorize this shutter/f-stop/ISO stuff!!! I want to take good pictures!!

8.21.2006

These suck!


I want to take good pics of fireworks- which means I need a tripod- and I need one for my photography class- so that means I am getting one.

We love eachother- we love fireworks- (I do anways-lol)

This weekend was full of crazyiness- and fun!
And wouldn't you know I had no batteries for my camera on the fun night!!
Great!- so these are my pics from the weekend- Brett's soon to be cousin, has pics of the weekend- so I will have to have her email them to me!!

Fun times had by all this weekend- and the countdown is 14 days Until My 21st Birthday
(i said someting like 12 earlier- dont mind my mathamatical skills- they don't make any sense)

School started today- Shouldn't be too hard- but we will see. My photography class is going to be my favorite class- I befriended a girl who has experience in the dark room- so that should be an advantage on my part- thank goodness
and the nerdest nerd of the 21st century sat next to me- not to be mean- but I plan on never having to sit next to him again- If you bring a 3 hole punch to class- you have problems- if you do the Napolean Dynamite "yessss" in a low voice when the teacher talks about the dark room- you have problems.

So thats my day.
