i'm doing what!?

Once again I haven't been updating my blog like I should, but I guess that's what you get when your busy or just not wanting to do it....ok ok so I totally forgot about my blog for a while. Since the last time I update my blog, I have....

Been working, playing with the babies, and looking for another job, so i can buy the car I want. Plus I have also found out my sister has a brain tumor, which surgery is scheduled for December 6th. It so far has affected her eye sight, hearing and now her left leg. I'm just hoping they can get her into surgery before that.

Sooo...work has been pretty busy lately. We have been doing some good changes and some bad changes. I am now working in baby most the time, but since Monday I have been training Jessica, who is now going to join the hang/basics team over in there little area...away from the rest of the clan. Sara is on vacation since her hubby is going to Bah Rain (if that's how you spell it) after they get back from vacation. So she has been going since October 8thish. Boy do I miss her some days =D They change basics and hang around...they are the same people doing it but...they now have to separate everything together so whatever box you take off the pallet you have to sort it...whether its hang or basics or whatever. Baby is changing also...maybe its better for my OCD that I change some of the ways I work there...maybe not...I'm not sure if I like the changes but thats me. LOL I'm supposed to put my pallets on either side of the 6 carts I do use in baby and separate it that way...no more walking to the isle and putting it in the carts, and no more taking the cart into the backroom and taking things out...now that was a WHOOLLLLEEEE nother story right there...and right now I don't feel like it should be said on here...but in the mean time I'm trying to get my OCD right and not freak out over little changes. Hopefully I don't freak out too much, and sorry in advance to my co workers if I do...but they understand sometimes why I freak out with "the Voice."

I have been to the art institute, and took a tour, and hopefully I can get in there for baking and pastry next year sometime. I love the school, I love baking but I'm just not sure if I want to pay the price to go there. O well, if I do want to go then I'll put my app in, if not I'll stick with Target and such.

There are soo many places I have been since August. Seattle, the super mall, pikes market, the hood canal, mount rainier, mount st Helen's, port gamble, Manresa castle, port Townsend where an officer and a gentlemen was filmed. umm and soo many other places. I love it here, I love going places to walk around or just to sight see, and I have more places to visit. I didn't like the most haunted place Port Gamble though, gave me a feeling I didn't like at all. Manresa Castle wasn't so bad but never got the feeling of anything being there. Pikes Market is just right down the road from the Art Institute, and it was awesome! we only went through some but we had to catch the ferry back to bremerton so we couldn't go through it all. mount st helens was a little bit cloudy on the day we went, and on the day we went to rainier we went on a free weekend so it was packed! both volcanoes were pretty though.

So Ghost Adventures Zak Bagans is going to be in Seattle this year...too bad I can't go. I would sooo love to see him and go ghost hunting with him! yeah yeah yeah I know what you are thinking...why like him, and why not watch ghost hunters, why get involved with ghosts anyways...well I like him cuz I do, I watch ghost hunters, and I love ghosts...i'm sensitive. I have actually have had ghostly experiences before...a lady talking in my ear...couldn't make out what she said. Then before I moved into the place we live in we heard a male laughing, and since then I have had a black shadow figure appear several times, i have had something sit on my bed, and one morning i was just laying in bed and something said something to me..(males voice) and couldn't make out what it said, but boy did I jump out of my bed and get scared...that was the first time I EVER got scared at a ghost. plus whom ever is living here with us has also scared the babies...i haven't seen or heard from him in a while...hopefully stuff won't happen now.

Well I dunno what else to talk about in this blog...and hopefully I can update it again soon...which hopefully I can do update it every week...which reminds me...I shall put it in my phone and have it to remind me every thursday to update this blog...night

August and a few months since....

So its been a while since I last posted a blog...whoops...but I have been busy between work and helping Nissa out with the babies.

So in these past few months we have moved into our place...right on the Washington Narrows, close to the puget sound as a matter of fact, just a walk right down the road and you'll get to the ferries =] I got a job at Target working on the Flow team...3:30 am to 8 am. We have been to Seattle a few times since we have been here already.

The Aquarium...it was awesome! Loved every minute of it! Well I would enjoy myself there...I love fish! (just not eating it LOL) There was so much to see there and the boys well lets just say they had a good time also!

And a Mariners game. Which I would like to say even though I am a Milwaukee Brewers fan but...well lets just say I became a Mariners fan also LOL =] Even though that week I worked from Monday through Wednesday with little sleep! Worked Monday went home didn't sleep...went to bed after 11pm, got back up went to work, didn't sleep...got on the ferry, got to the game, stayed till the game was done, went home got clothes for work...went to my aunts house (since the car had broken down once again...and of course when i was driving it) went to work got home changed and went back to Seattle on Wednesday so Nate could go see his Doctor about some things and came home and didn't go to bed till late that night! ugh i thought i was gonna loose my mind LOL but at least i did have that thursday off!

Since then I haven't been back yet but since i live close to there why should i go every week? LOL butttttt.....ANNNNYYYY ways....my buddy Kaedyn has been welll...my buddy LOL can't live without me or without being near me lol.

We did go to the beach and the water fountains a few weeks ago when it was hot here...which was fun. Now its cold again but that is alright with me for now!

We have already gotten in snow pants and coats....we are wondering why we are getting snow pants and stuff in, in August! Geeze its only August, does distribution think that there is a snow storm heading this way or something that we don't know about!?!?! LOL Work has been...well...work. between 4 and 5 days a week lately with over 2000 pieces...which can be bad for us in hang but...well at least we are keeping busy.

Well my parents had a flood where they were at...and boy did it stink in Pearl City! Tim's car lot was under water again! my parents basement was flooded, and so was my best friends...well at least FEMA came out to help a little. But yeah sooo much is going on in sooo little time!

This week I have to go to work...and monday is a BBQ with my aunt and family, since she is leaving Thursday for Minnesota for a little over a week and I am watching her dogs for them. Which should be fun, a house to myself...umm yeah not sure what I'll do yet but I'll figure something out! LOL

Welcome to...

Well we made it here safe and sound...considering there was a snow storm on the pass in WA on the way here.
Our trip started on Saturday May 1st, May day, and we got off to a late start, by then everyone was getting cranky and irate. Once we got on the road it was all better, the boys went ahead to the first rest stop and us girls and the babies, and Noah went to get a few things, and then headed towards the boys. All was good stopped a few times to pee and what not, and headed back on the road....right through Minnesota onto North Dakota.

The weather was bipolar as we called it...it was sunny sometimes, and then would head right into rain, as you can tell by the picture above. Then when we hit around our first stop in Dickenson, we kinda hit snow...

The next day we left with some snow on the ground headed towards Butte, Montana. Annissa said that Montana felt like it took years to get through, which it did considering how long the state really is from Idaho to North Dakota. Montana was pretty when you hit the left side of the state looking on a map, but otherwise it looked okay. LOL =] Butte was amazing, still trying to figure out the red tepee looking things that were around the city. The next day after our stay in Butte, we headed towards Bremerton, Washington. Oh, and BTW, most the time we did get pictures was in the day, and most the time we drove was at night, or into the night, so that is why there aren't many pictures of Minnesota or Washington on my FB page. But, anyways, the drive was amazing, and beautiful at times, when it wasn't snowing or raining. LOL =D Most the time we were in WA driving there, we were in the dark...so I couldn't get pictures of Seattle =[ O well, there are going to be plenty of opportunities to go over the sound and visit Seattle, or Tacoma or where ever else.

bring may flowers?

Haven't written in a while. Been helping out around the house with the boys. My phone charger broke so I have to hold the wires to the charger when its plugged into the phone =[ I guess that is what you get when you buy an $8 charger, I'm hoping to get my last paycheck soon so i can go buy another one that isn't broken! LOL =]

About 16 days till we leave for Washington. Me and Annissa will be driving the car along with the "Twins" Nathan, and Kaedyn, as everyone calls them since Nathan is about the same size as his younger brother. LOL While the other 3 boys will drive/ride the moving truck, or we might switch Noah back and forth between the two vehicles.

I'm hoping that since we are taking the babies it won't be that hard since one is going to be 3, and the other is 19 months...lol that means lots of snacks and drinks, plus A LOT of diaper changes LOL =] and that means a lot of stops...which i'm hoping won't happen all that often cuz this girl will have to pee every time we stop then LOL...ok ok maybe not so much every time but at least a few times if I can't hold it LOL I'm hoping that the drive won't take too long since I am getting excited for Washington even if people want me to be back home. Which I am thinking about doing after being there so long, if I want to go back to Illinois....=S I know my mom wants me back home, and so does Darren but I'm not sure yet if I want to go back home to IL and live there the rest of my life. If you know what I mean.

For the past few days it has been kinda cloudy and last night it rained...again. but I guess the rain don't bother me as much, so I guess we will get along out west =] So waiting for May is going to be tough, not only do we move in May, my 21st birthday is in may too! =] Not sure what we are doing yet but...we'll figure it out later when we get there. =]

April showers...

It still feels like winter with all this cold weather we have been getting! We had one 80 degree day, then went back to being about in the 40s and 50s, and most the time it is raining out, which i don't mind rain but get lightning involved and I get freaked out LOL :)

Well, what is new in my life since the last time I wrote? Well, I started packing more up, and waiting till I can put it in the truck to leave on friday night. My last day to work is on Thrusday, then I leave for WI. YAY! =] I'll then help my cousin finish packing then get things in the U-haul or something, and leave the first weekend of May.

So the other night I was hanging out with my friend, and had a "friend" IM me, I started talking and the next thing you know I was getting phone calls, and texts harassing me. I called the cops today to report harassment and they gave the chief the run around, for almost a half hour he finally got the name of the person who called me back, when he was still here. He had told them he wasn't going to do a report about it but since they called and was acting jerkishly he was going to do a report. which I think he was just doing that to get them to tell him his name. Yeah sometimes people are just stupid. and hopefully they stop talking to me and all that. If they don't I'll do it again.

We did have a wolf spider in the house...well at least my brother thinks it is...since my dad smashed it with a book...
On the brighter side BREWERS won today! Now they are 2-1 since the beginning of the season =] yay! Should I maybe also become a Mariners fan...? Well, maybe I'll think of it. LOL I can always give them a try, but...at heart...I'll always be a BREWERS fan at heart! Well my time to sign off for now...I'll make sure to take pics on my way to Eau Claire...well at least try to since it will be dark most the way =]

upgrade the bullshitometer and change the batteries in the dickhead detector

So its been a few days since I last blogged, I'm sorry about that. LOL I have been busy lately with packing up a few more things, and working.

Sunday was a steady kind of day at work, not too many people came in but every time I went to do something someone else would come in wanting a sandwich. O well, I guess, LOL =D I came home and baked some cookies with color frosting so they would be ready for Easter...well it turns out that in my house when I bake cookies...they are gone within a day or two! And on the other side...well lets just say I only got one cookie with green frosting...cuz it was the last one with green frosting on it LOL =D Sunday I just basically worked, came home baked, did some dishes after I was, and watched a movie called Riding in Cars with Boys with Drew Barrymore. One of the best movies of all time! =D

Monday Monday Monday...didn't do much fed the cat and dog, sat around watching The Singing Bee, helped my ma out a bit, talked on the phone with Chelsey for a bit, and basically yelled at a High School student for calling a friend of mine who found out she has cervical cancer now, white trash. Who would call someone that name? That makes me mad, that and the word Hooker, are just degrading to certain people in certain contexts. Then she had the nerve to turn around and add me on facebook, as people know I will actually look at your profile to see what that person has been up to lately if I haven't seen them. Well lo and behold her friend wrote on her wall and laughing at what her friend said about my friend...so I did read the comments and the girl that added me, also called me White Trash! I was like no way in God's name did you call me White trash and put it on your facebook, and then add me and I can see what you write...haha EPIC FAIL! If your gonna add someone as a friend on facebook then you might not want to write about them 7 hours before you add them as a friend on there! hahaha I do consider myself to be more classy then some of these "rednecks" around here. I am a big city girl and they are small town girls that are still in high school and don't know the meaning of "being out on their own." BTW I am still trying to think of something to say to her about calling me white trash, and I also reported them for saying that me and my friend were white trash.

Last night was kinda boring but the moon was really BRIGHT!!! LOL boy do I love the moon and stars this time of year...ok ok all year long I do =] I guess the moon is supposed to be different colors tonight.

haha just had a good laugh with my bro's girlfriend Chelsey. I asked her if she wanted a cookie before they were all gone and she said yes...so I told her to get her butt in the kitchen and get one. She took one and started eating it and she said yummy =D and out of the blue I said "Thats what she said!" hahahaha =D wow, haha must be in a good enough mood to say that!

The beginning of the weekend.

Last night was alright, just sat at home watching The Wedding Planner and We Are Marshel both with Matthew McCounaghey =] (He is such a cutie!), and putting a puzzle together of 2 giraffes.
Today I got up about 10, and sat around for a bit, then cut up some potatoes and eggs so my mom could make some potato salad for the pot luck thingy-ma-bob...But this one right here is such a klutz! lol I spilt water outta the pan for the hard boiled eggs, and when I went to clean it up I stubbed my toe! Then I had to go to work tonight also from 4 to 9:15ish. We were pretty slow, so Diana went home about 7:30, and I stayed to get a few extra hours. About 5 minutes to close I had an old couple come in for some sandwiches and while in the middle of making theirs another couple people came in, when my light was off and asked if I could make their sandwiches...well technically I don't have to make any sandwiches after I turn the light off, but I was a little nice tonight to them and made them.
I told myself once again I was going to pack up some things today...but once again...I didn't...so I guess I'll get up a little early tomorrow and pack some things up, and I need to label my movies with my name, and get my movies back from a friend before I leave here in a few weeks.

I'm still excited to move to Washington, with my cousin Annissa. =] I'm ready to get out of this small town, and back to a big city, where I can find something to do instead of being at home all the time. Not that I don't like to be at home all the time with my mom, because I love to be at home with her hanging out...just us two girls. =] I'm going to be taking pictures whenever I get the chance to! Its going to be a wonderful drive and I'm going to get some pretty good pictures on the journey half way across the country. =]

what?

Ugh, what a day! Started off the day with balancing my mom's check book like normal...went off to the bank, and then to Stockton to get us some McDonalds. YUMMY =] Boy did the lady there get my order sooo wrong lol. I went through the drive thru like normal right, well I said I wanted 2 snack wraps...well she put it on the thing as 2 mac wraps, I was like I said I wanted 2 ranch snack wraps, and she kept getting it all wrong. I was getting mad through the whole time she kept asking "is that all?" does it look like I was finished ordering when you rudely interupted? umm, no! lol got my food, and came home, ate, then started going through things I did not want anymore...4 totes and 2 hours later...I got rid of somethings but...I have more to go through! lol

Well, I went into work for an hour or so today, since my co-workers clothes weren't dry, which is fine with me. Did what I needed to till she got there, came home and waited till my friend got here. We decided to watch "The Blind Side" tonight. GREAT movie if you haven't seen it =] Well, we didn't "click." He has liked me for years on end...well I told him that I could give it a shot and try and see if it works out. It didn't and I don't know how to tell him that. Oh, well, I'm moving in a few weeks to Wisconsin, and bringing my "little girl" Mischa along.
Mischa...what can I say about her...well...She was found out on a farm, nearly dead, and no big cry. My brother's friend brought her to our house and I fell in love! I went back to work that night and bought her food, and toys (like they needed more but oh well). After a few months she became a gramma's girl, sleeping with her and grampa at night and being an Ashley's girl thru the day. After my parents sold the old house and moved into the one we are in now, she became my cat! She knows her name and def loves to be called Mischa Ann! She is spoiled sometimes but what can I say, I spoil her and so does her gramma =]

I love my life here, but living in a small town for 5 years really takes a toll out on a city girl! I never really fitted in here in a small town, and glad to be going back to my roots for a few weeks, before I go and start my life in a different state, and city. I'm a city girl like no other! I love the country at points but I love the sound of traffic, and people, and being able to get the store that is 5 min away rather than having to drive a half hour to Wal-Mart, or to a restaurant...well at least a decent one like applebees or sonic!

Well tomorrow is another day and another story to come =]

Will I be missed here?

I was told last night by a very good friend and ex co-worker she isn't looking forward to saying goodbye to me when I leave. I started tearing up when she said that, and I'm pretty sure my mom is going to miss me the most, since I do a lot with her around here.

But anyways, what a Sunday night!!! =] lol I took the dog out before my parents got home from Eau Claire, and I thought I unlocked the door, turns out I didn't and locked my self out...once again, and at least it wasn't the car this time lol =] So I walked over to my grandma's house (she's not really my grandma but I asked to call her that,) and grabbed the extra key she has to our house, brought it back here, unlocked the door went, and got the dog out of the car since I didn't want to leave her in the garage with yucky stuff on the floor. By that time it was 10 minutes for me to leave for work, and I hadn't even got my work clothes on yet. Work...what a night! Busy busy busy that is all I have to say lol. I was running behind since I had a rush between 5 and 6:30pm, and I was the only one working. I still needed to pull the bread wash dishes, fill the bane, and cooler in front, fill sauces, and take garbage out. I didn't get out of there till quarter till 9, mind you we close at 8 on Sunday's at Subway, and we work by ourselves. I was just frazzled last night, and trying to get done before 8:30 but I was 15 minutes over what I wanted to get outta there by. My last day to work there is April 10th, then sometime after that I will be leaving for Eau Claire, my hometown!

I should be packing right now but I don't have enough energy right now to do that, thanks to allergies, and me having sneezing attacks every time I go outside! I took the dog out earlier, came back in and sneezed like 6 times in a row, and tried to catch my breath after everyone, and by the time I was done sneezing, my chest was hurting. The tree pollen is high here, but the grass pollen isn't so bad...yet, and there are no weeds yet, so I'm doing good on that but the tree pollen is killing me! My head is hurting and sneezing is just getting sooo annoying right now. lol =/

What a day...!!!

Today, hmm what a day lol =] I needed help with my blog...got a new background but couldn't figure out how to get the template off, so my cousin helped me out with it. She put it as "Done helping my Cuz prettify her new blog (she was a blog virgin until last night)" haha and i definitely was a blog virgin until last night. lol =] BTW she made my header for me too and I also took an idea of her's for my blog name.

So anyways, my day has been busy, between cleaning, taking the dog out for her jobs, and getting dinner ready for tonight, I had some time to spare and hang out with my bro's girlfriend Chelsey, who is in LOVE with Simon Cho! haha, before I head to work for 3.5 hours to close, and I made her a twitter, and Facebook account.

I'm getting so excited to move with my cousin to Washington! I'll start updating everyone everyday on my blog about whats going on, if I can't I will be sure to update when I can. So far so good on the packing, my mom is going to help me go through some things that I got for college, this week since I don't have to work again till Friday, and start packing again, since I have slacked for the past few days lol

a test blog =]

This is my first blog on here...So far so good =] I am not quite sure how to do one of these but i guess after a while i will get used to it =] In a few weeks I will be moving back to Wi, and helping my cousin pack so we all can move to Washington, this is where my title plays in. I'm a big city girl, living in a small town, and moving back to big cities, first to Eau Claire, Wi again...then to Bremerton, Wa. I can't wait, and so EXCITED! I am mainly writing this blog so my ex coworkers can see what I am up to and help them live somewhere else with out them actually being there =] Props to my cousin Annissa for helping me find this site and getting me set up.
