breast cancer awareness

2004-10-01T13:37:06Z

Just a friendly reminder that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Everyone needs to tell their mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, grandmas, friends, etc... to go get a mammogram. I know my mom is getting one this month. Also, don't forget about self-exams, they could save your life.

Please remind everyone of this!

Only when the last tree has died
and the last river has been poisoned
and the last fish has been caught
will we realize that we can't eat money.
- Cree proverb

that is great

Today has been a little weird. well not weird, just I don't know, weird :)~ First off, it has been raining nonstop forever now. Our stupid sunk pump (?? whatever that is called) kept turning on in the middle of the night. That thing never goes on, so I knew there was a shitload of water outside. But it is right next to my room, and its SO loud! I don't sleep very well the way it is, and with that stupid thing turning on and off, I didn't sleep at all! Then I had to take mom to work at 645am (long story, she works late and Ange needs her car...) then I came home and got ready for school. I had a super cute outfit picked out, but it was cold and rainy so I decided to screw it, I'm not gonna look cute today, so I threw on my Minnesota Gopher hoodie and old jeans and tennis shoes (oh how comfy!) and threw my hair back and headed out to school. It was POURING my whole drive. There were times when it got so bad, I almost pulled over! In fact, I had to take an early exit to get to campus because my car was going to hydroplane on the highway (there was standing water - in fact there was standing water all over the state (MN) and I guess eastern parts of WI too). So I was all backward trying to get to campus because I never took that way before. I finally park (7 blocks away!) and had to walk to class in the rain :o/ good thing for the hoodie!
Then in my first class, its an Anthropology class, we talking about bathrooms, and going to the bathroom, and how to use the bathroom when there isn't one, (I'm using the term bathroom loosely!) It was a little odd. Oh, but I didn't know this, apparently men's bathrooms in places like the Metrodome and Target Center don't have separate urinals! Its one 40ft long one! haha thats gross..
Other than that, my other classes went on normally! But I was feeling strangely good in my skin today. Something just felt right, felt new. I was happy to be where I was at in life. So that was good. And I had that Rascal Flatts song stuck in my head "Feels Like Today." Maybe that put a turn on my mood. Who knows.

I am just rambling about craziness here. I have a headache and don't want to go to classes tomorrow. I hate TuTh classes because they are an hour and a half. My attention span is, at tops, a half hour! Ugh.

woohoo

2004-09-07T00:15:05Z

I am having some computer problems. The pictures on every page are all messed up looking. Like a bunch of squares put together to make the picture. Its really annoying and I can't figure out how to fix it. I can fix it on every page I go to by right clicking on the mouse and selecting the "Display All Images With Full Quality" option. But is there any way that I can fix it permanently? I really want to solve this problem!!
Thanks bunches lovies!

for you girls

2004-09-06T16:44:06Z

I just bought (and used) this stuff

and I suggest all of you out there get it! Its amazing!

anyway, just thought I'd share!
:o)

holy crap

2004-09-01T14:03:08Z

I woke up and realized its September!
damn, when did that happen?!

School starts tomorrow! whoa. I'm kinda nervous, but I live my life as a nervous wreck so I'm used to it. But I am also very excited and anxious!

Today I have a lunch date with my mom, then Jess and I are going to get our books, then I have to babysit.

I can't believe I have to wake up and go to school tomorrow morning! Its been awhile...

Monday the whole Fam went to the Insane Asylum known as the Great Minnesota Get Together AKA the Minnesota State Fair. Land of 10,000 crazies. That place is a madhouse, 5 million people in this state and they all go to the fair. But it was a good time I guess. Didn't eat as much as I thought I would. Had mini donuts (you have to) and a handful of fries (you have to) and about 4 Sweet Martha's Cookies (you have to) and maybe 3 or 4 cheese curds (you have to). haha. Atleast I didn't eat a whole bucket of each of those things!! :oX barf. Nothing on a damn stick though. I hate how the fair has this "on a stick" craze going on. If you're from MN you know what I'm talking about. We put EVERYTHING on a stick. deep fried candy bars on a stick, alligator on a stick, pork chops on a stick, macaroni and cheese on a stick, its stupid.

oh dear, I didn't mean to go on a big rant about the fair. guess I just can't help it. Minnesotans are CRAZY!!

oh, on with my last day of summer....

THIS IF FOR ALL YOU GUYS

2004-04-27T17:15:48Z

Ok, I need all you guys out there, and I suppose you girls can answer this too, but I need some male opinions here!

My friend, diamondswirl posted this question in her journal, and it got me curious too. So here it is:

----------------------------------------

Now, I have a question.

Why is it that girls somehow need to "find themselves". Like, people say that's the good thing about being single so that you can figure out who you are. And, then the women that marry young get around 30 and freak out like "oh my god, who am I?". Ok, so I'm wondering why men don't have to "find themseves". Any thoughts?

it's been a long time

I haven't listened to this CD in so long, but I'm totally loving it tonight. I'm just sitting here jamming to Jewel's "This Way" CD.

Have you ever just gone through your CD collection and thought "I haven't played this one in a long time" and then put it in and all of these memories come rushing back, and you wonder why you've waited so long to hear it again?! And remember all of the lyrics.

I should be studying, but I'm in such a music mood right now, I can't stare at a book in a quiet room, I'd go crazy (or more crazy I should say...)

I love when a person's voice can bring a smile to your face and laughter to your heart and soul. I have beautiful friends.
much love to all of you.

[...]
She thought she'd done some living
But now she's just wonderin'
What she's living for
Now she's feeling that there's something more

Is there life out there
So much she hasn't done
Is there life beyond
Her family and her home
She's done what she should
Should she do what she dares
She doesn't want to leave
She's just wonderin
Is there life out there

She's always lived for tomorrow
She's never learned how
To live for today
She's dyin' to try something foolish
Do something crazy
Or just get away
Something for herself for a change

Is there life out there
So much she hasn't done
Is there life beyond
Her family and her home
She's done what she should
Should she do what she dares
She doesn't want to leave
She's just wonderin
Is there life out there

[...]

She looks out the window and wonders again....

I am a full blown idiot. I am dumb, I am stupid, I'm a slacker, a loser. one thing I know that I am not, is a student. Its not who I'm supposed to be people! my gosh, why do I have to live this hell.

winter wonderland

2003-11-12T21:41:39Z

it snowed today. yikes. Its crappy outside, so windy.
Jess and I hung out, that was nice. We went to La Crosse, hit up the mall. I was very good, I didn't buy anything! Well I did buy us each a pretzel, but that doesn't count. It was just fun hanging out. I'm sure going to miss her when she leaves. But she is going to have such an awesome life, and she's dedicated to making it happen. I'm jealous of her. I wish I could make my life happen.

I just looked out the window, it stopped snowing. thank goodness.

I'm feeling so incredibly fat lately. I know I'm losing weight, but it doesn't look like it at all. I get so discouraged. I workout, I eat way better than I used to (when I do eat). I have self control, when I go to the grocery store I don't buy anything unhealthy, and I like what I buy. I drink water like I'm a fish, and I'm still fat. It sucks to be me.

I have a very important test tomorrow, that I have to get atleast a B on, better get an A. I am going to have to study my ass off tonight, and I'm just not motivated. I only need 21 more credits to graduate, how hard is that? not very. But I don't even want to. However I did find my dream job, so I guess thats motivation. I doubt they'll hire me though. We'll see. I don't plan on applying for awhile yet, can't start until ~July 1st. Just looking at my options. I would love to work there though. (Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch) Maybe if I do work there someday, I can go back to school and get my Masters while I'm working. All I wanna do is work, or marry someone and be a housewife.

for the record...

2003-09-14T13:55:06Z

last night was only the second time ever that I threw up from drinking. Usually I can hold my alcohol pretty well, I mean, I've been drinking for like 8 years now and have only vomited twice. But it was a good night, I think....

Why any of you care I don't know - like I said, just for the record!!

friends?

2003-07-24T03:31:16Z

If anybody knows of any good friends, could you point me in their direction?? I need to add some friends to my list :o) Thanks.
