this is a little something for all of you stressing and worried with finals and the end of the semester stuff, a little quote from Mother Theresa:

I know God wouldn't give me anything I couldn't handle. I just wish he didn't trust me so much.

Sara! I'd be willing to join you in the ass kicking....I'm sorry, you're the OPPOSITE of a cheater!! Don't worry Al, your interview will be great and they'll see for the second time what a wonderful asset you'll be to the program!! GOOD LUCK!!

YOU ARE NOT A CHEATER. I repeat, NOT a cheater. I don't work on Sunday Al, I'll come down there and kick your ass or the ass of anyone that says you are a cheater. Let me know if you want me there.

AL'S A SUPERSTAR!! I LOVE YOU

only 7 more days left! I wish it was over!! But I'm almost there....just a few more drawings and then put my boards together and color them.....AHHHH! And I don't want to work...ever....so much to do! No news on the job yet but I'll keep you posted ;)

Oh yes :) and if someone is perhaps looking for a place to stay this summer and would enjoy the likings of Fargo, you're welcome to split the rent with Kirk and I this summer (the girl who asked has a place now...but we wouldn't mind ) Think about it :)

hello? is anyone home?? Oh well! This weekend has been a lot! I've been busy doing this studio project and I worked a bit on Saturday....both Friday and Saturday I managed to crash within minutes of getting home....what's wrong with me!! Al, I hope you're having a relaxing weekend at home with the Erin and the Karen.....Sara, I hope you're having fun getting your stuff ready for another week of fun and Harley work :) I miss you all and I wish we could be playing RIGHT NOW (well, I take that back, I wish I could be sleeping right now but later in the day we could )....have a good day!

Naked Juice is the greatest juice in the world. I think it's organic and all natural. The ingredient label says: orange juice. YUM. I looooooove it.

My friend Al is FAMOUS!!! GO AL!! you've learned your lesson, I'll still back you up :) Love you Al!

what is naked juice??

Read my web page for my happy news. It's a good one.

Hey Ya'll! I've been doing sucky homework all day, but there's a light at the end of the tunnel....I called the City of Fargo this morning about my resume and it doesn't sound hopeful....they have a box full of applicants and I'm with them!! But my calling came after I got off the phone with them.....I decided I need to find a back up job so I started looking at NDSU's job center and apparently the City of West Fargo is hiring for an assistant planner within their department! They knew!! So I'm sending out my resume to them today!! This is a necessity :) Ok! So there's my good news of the day!!

GRR!! Welcome to a week and a half of hell, kids :) May 5th is the deadline for my studio project and I feel as though there is no time!!! I don't even have all my preliminary work done yet and that should already be done!! AHHHHH!!!!! And then a birthday party for the aunt the Saturday before it's due....in a place 4 hours away!! I'll be going nuts, needless to say. I miss you all and wish I was playing with you all rather than working on all this crap!! Hugs!

OH NO! I'm so sorry Al!! How'd they steal it??? You'll be ok...I'll try calling your cell :) Maybe the jerk will pick up??? :)

I am very excited you are a frequent visitor lately, little Erin :) I enjoy hearing of your adventures :) Well....I'm back in studio...and I'm the only one :( Anywho...I only have today and tomorrow left of my vacation then it's back in the school saddle again and I'm not looking foward to it. I only have 2 weeks left on this project and I just wanna finish it!!! It's such a time consumer :) I just wanna watch movies today and play outside. Ummm...anywho, Easter went well....wanted to yell at the Old Navy customers....shouldn't they be home with their families!! It was such a busy weekend there, I wanted to poke my eyes out!! But our store did good.....we made $100,000 in Saturday and Sunday...go us!!! Umm...ok....should get to work...talk to you soon!

Sorry I have been awful and neglecting the blog!!! I've been SO determined to write letters to you all...and then Karen beat me to it...so now I may wait some more. :) Anywho....Bad teacher lady is gonna get something from me!! I wanna get ahead this weekend in studio considering she thinks I'm so far behind (I'll show her behind!!) but I haven't sat down to work on it yet (that's why I turned on my computer today) and this is my second day of vacation. Hopefully I can get something done before my April date:) I'm excited...Kirk and I will be going to have some Mexican food and seeing Adam in Anger Management...heard it was good...I'll keep you posted :) I just want some margarita to forget about all that I have to get done. GRRR!!! The pots got done today...though quite a messy process.....thought I was going to start my homwork around 3....nope, got done with the pots briefly before this post. Yuck...but they look cute :) And the flowers will look lovely in them :) Ummm....not much new here....have yourselves a very happy easter and have some ham for me Erin :)

Ok, sorry for being a lazy bum and not posting lately. I've been doing crap. I don't know if I blogged this or if I told any of you about my finals situation so I'm gonna tell ya'll again. I don't have any finals during finals week. Yes it's true that it'll be great to be done before everyone else, BUT I have to get everything done a week early. I have a huge unit lesson plan project due next week. It's a partner project, the problem with it is that my partner and I can't ever meet at the same time and she's a snot. It's fun to think about how much it's going to suck to get the mo fo done. Neat. I also have a ten to fifteen page research paper to write on a topic I don't know much about... oooooo, plus I have to do a presentation on it this Monday. Hum, what else...? Yoga presentation on Tuesday, teach a sign language lesson at Jefferson School on Wednesday. On Friday I have a 303 final, Jefferson School spring concert, work and BBQ at the house. I don't know if I'm going to be able to handle all of my friends drunk at my house by the end of the week. Let's just hope I don't kill them. My last up date on Dan was that he's doing better, he's walking and "gettting tubes out" (Mom's words). Andrew had blood work done on Monday and was supposed to get results back on Wednesday. Mom hasn't told me anything about that so I have to assume he's doing somewhat ok. Tracy is stressing me out too. The guy she was seeing broke it off last week so she's pretty bummed. She's dealing with some other issues too. Based on the fact that I happen to be Dear Abby, I'm dealing with the problems too. It's stressful. Now that I have vented that stuff it's time for the happy stuff. Work is fun. I've only been twice but I like it a lot. I feel a bit like an outsider right now b/c they're all a close knit group of people... I'm going to break my way into the circle. I helped some lady with chaps today, little weird but we both lived. Evan is still awesome. He's funny, respectful, polite, smart, nice and I really like him a lot. We were IMing tonight and I asked if we could have a little date tomorrow night. He said that it could be our Easter date... what a dork! It was great. I have no idea if we'll actually do Easter activities... I suggested we dye eggs and look for Easter baskets. Wouldn't that be a silly date?! The BBQ we're having on Friday will be a rip roaring good time, I just might not be here for most of it is all. As long as the weather stays nice and everyone can be outside I'll be ok. If they all have to come inside I'll be crazy. Stupid OCD. OK, I think that's all. Happy Easter everyone. I'd say let's do something this weekend but I probably won't be home for more than 24 hours... lots to get done. Love to you all. Hope you're well. Kisses.

I'm hungry...do I really need to go to structures????? I hate that class, not Mo, he's cool....just structures

So what's new with me?? I just got ANOTHER C on my ECS final. Way to go...maybe she'll be nice and give me a B in the class for my niceness?? You think?? Oh well...it's done now!! Except for the group project we need to finish up....no problem!! I have a big crit today in studio and I am SO not ready for it!!!! I only have half of the stuff expected for the day....don't kill me Carol!!! But the bonus is I got another stellar grade on my business test....which further concludes I should be a business major :) Which reminds me! Al...I consulted my peeps at work and then all said don't worry about it...they said that you shouldn't tell her cuz you did nothing wrong....and they're right....you didn't ( that's not REALLY cheating). Shake it off and worry about it if she comes up to you individually and then you still didn't cheat...you didn't. I love you and call me tonight!! I don't have THAT much going on for the next few days....I may go home for Friday but other than that, it's work and just Fargo fun!!!

You guess so well Tiffany :) It's lovely to hear from you again! I wonder why you won't be calling Amy? So I take it you haven't patched things up yet?? How's school going anyways?? You gonna be around for Easter break or are you heading home to dodge Amy :) Kaylen...you'd be my other blogger no show...where are you?? Anywho....Karen! I'm so excited for your nursing!! I want you to start now too...Tai Chi SUCKS!! hehehhe! OMG! And the big spider! I don't know what I would have done....I probably would have become paralyzed and yelled for help as I slowly backed out of the room while keeping my eye on that spider to make sure I knew where he was when somebody else came to kill him. I couldn't do it myself but there would be no way in hell he'd make it out alive!! I wouldn't hear of it...he's better off dead.

I'm glad you got to play with the Karen, this weekend:) Much better than New York, I'm sure :) Sara! Tell Dan and Andrew to get their act together and stop being sick (cuz I know they control it and all)....tell them I'm thinking of them. Oh!!! I so miss Amy!! We'll definintly play with her over Memorial weekend. Also that weekend is Dana's 21st so any of you who want to trek up to Pine City for a night to hot tub and consume beverages is more than welcome to....she invited you all. The pots are turning out great....though they take a VERY long time!! I got the bigger pot and the smaller rocks (Kirk got vise versa, jerk!) so I think I have 3 more days of glueing rocks (cuz I can only do one side per day so the glue sticks) and then it's grout time and potting the cute plants! HOPEFULLY it doesn't snow again before I get them inside!! Don't worry, I won't be throwing them outside again cuz of bugs...I plan on putting pesticides on them inside :) Ummmm....Al, as for a pot for you, we'll see....this is very time consuming...I've already spent 3 hours on it and it's only like half done, not even!! (that's a long time in my craft world).

Oh yes...and where have a FEW OF YOU BEEN (you know who you are!!)....SOME of you just ain't posting...are you alive?

I just wanted to mention....what a BEAUTIFUL weekend it has been!!! Very warm and sunny and people at work seemed to be NICE!! heheh! Anyways, I spent it working and starting flower pots (we're stealing Peggy's idea of mosaic).....it's so cute! there's a small one for the purple flower we got (I don't know the name of it....it's long) and then a slightly bigger one for the daffodils. They complement eachother :) Now we can throw the aloe vera plant I killed...yup, I think I can really say it's dead now. I can't wait for the stores to get their summer flowers cuz I am ready to plant!!!! Kirk's saying I'm domesticating him....I simply think I'm making the apartment summer proof :) ANYWHO! Today will be spent doing homework then cleaning and dying eggs and working on the pots :) Oh yes, and making my Sunday calls ;) I love you all and I hope you all had good weekends!!

ERIN!! I'm so pumped for your sweetheart competition :) I'd lose on purpose to get the hot judge! what a sweet deal :) Sara!! Is it the Harley job??? YOU THUG!! hahhahha! I so can't picture you working there!! Umm...and Al, have fun in NYC this weekend.....it should be fun...and then Gamma's birthday...wish her a good one!!

Read my personal web page for details about my latest employment adventure.

Yay! I got to talk to 2 of my most favoritest people last night :) The Al AND the Sara!! Just thought I'd mention it and say it was wonderful and we should do it more often!! heheheh!!! Umm....not much new here.....just playing in studio and registering for classes...I got into them all so it'll be a wonderful next semester of 17 credits!!! Heheheheh! Ok! OH AL! I have decide whether to see you over memorial weekend or go to South Dakota for a wedding.....so we'll see......

Muahahahahahaha! Becky just called me from work! It was such a pleasant surprise to hear from her! Thanks again for being a good friend Becky!

What a beautiful day!! I just wanted to wish everyone a good Tuesday!! All is well here :) Al, I think I'm finally learning to become content in the "here and now". :) Anywho...I get to work this evening and homework during the day....not too shabby! And my project is going well :) I redid most of it, but for a good cause :) I hope to talk to you all soon!!!

Thank you Karen! I love you and your cookies too!

Karen... thanks and when you say 'soda' what are you refering to? Baking soda? I just wanna be sure... and one more question... the icing... what's the recipe for that? :) And thanks one more time.

Oh yes! And do I officially get to be the only one who doesn't have snow in their backyard today :) YAY!! For the record, remember this!! Fargo doesn't have snow and you do!!!!!!!!

You're very welcome, Karen :) I'm still dissappointed I didn't go to Madison this weekend too.....though it's my own fault! BAD BECKY!! Oh well.....I had a busy weekend of group disfunctionality and gaining a roommate and studio problems that won't die and training at Old Navy. Hmm.....yes, I am a bit tired, thanks for asking :) I won't elaborate for fear of troubling your minds :) Other than that, I baked Runzas (the russian pita sammich thingy that's in your cookbooks). They were SO yummy and I even had plenty to freeze (I'm becoming quite the freeze fiend!!)....anywho...I'm sorry we couldn't chat last night Al! My bad!! But I shall try getting a hold of you soon! And you too Sara and Karen! I keep promising....awful me! Ok! Off to take my structures exam! Wish me luck!! CIAO!!

And meanwhile, it's true that we didn't get to see any ducks BUT, we did get to see a wedding, so there.

Bring on the fat!

Karen... I NEED your sugar cookie receipe (icing too)... I'm looking through Al's photo ablums and there's a pic of you and Megan decorating cookies and now I just can't live without them. Please oh please hook me up.

We're here and actually we've been here for quite a while.

Here we come!

Holy molely Foley... you have got post more often. I'm still laughing about the pun intended comment. Things are going well with Evan. He emailed me the cutest email ever this morning... I bet I'll still be smiling about it tonight when we get to Madison. Sigh... he's great. Al... t-minus approx three hours till we leave! WOO HOO!

Erin! All I gots to say is...there's no snow!!!! Yes, it is very cold (and 30 miles north they're digging out 2' of snow) but not us!!! heheheh! And I'm sure you'll be showing Iowa boy around, wink wink! I'm sure he'll know the ins and outs of your bedroom by the time he's done!! j/k...I know the rules :) Anywho....I'm a very tired little lamb today...I spent all of yesterday doing studio work and listening to the TV play the rest of Dawson's first season.....MEMORIES!! I so love that show and miss Henry...I can't wait for his season to come out :) Umm....not much else new....Karen! You're a nutball! Tell Giovani I say hello and a reminder to you that he and SQA are NOT REAL!! AHHHHHH!!! Anywho...I need a job and fast! I will be spending the weekend looking for day jobs for the summer and preparing information to ask for a raise....when do they send out annual review stuff?? I wanna ask after they send that out....don't wanna lose out on more summer raise!!

Well, I had a late night last night... you know, the hot date. It was great!! Evan is just wonderful. He brought me yellow tulips and we went to OG in Roch for dinner, then played at Barnes and Noble (I read Click Clack Moo to him and he read some Harry Potter... it was so damn cute) and then we saw Old School and he smells so good. We laughed and talked and were silly, his cell phone rang on more than one occassion b/c his friends and family were calling to check up on how the date was going and it was so good. The whole date lasted about seven hours... I must say it was a good seven hours. A girl from my classes this morning said, "dinner and a movie, that's like two dates and seven hours?! You guys can kiss on your next date b/c it's like you've already had two!" Ooooo, the other night Tracy made me a paper chain to count down for the date. It's really funny and a little inappropriate in certain places. If I had it with me on campus I'd share the whole thing with you but I don't, so you'll just have to wait. And yes, there's gonna be another date. WOO HOO!

If any of you are interested in the American language, go to this website and look at the data or take the survey....I enjoyed learning.....Al, you're Wisconsin people are a breed all of their own!! Let me tell you! Http://hcs.harvard.edu/~golder/dialect/maps.php
