a new job to celebrate the end of a great year!

2008-12-21T18:11:00.004-06:00

what a great year it has been. And to end it, i finally get a new job. I am now working for REM which is part of the Mentor network. I would be working weekends for just a few hours and i would be working with people who need some assistance doing daily activities. The house where i would be working at, is only women and they are very self-sufficent and don't need a whole lot of health but they still do need it depending on what they are doing. But other houses through out bemidji have other people who needed pretty much everything done for them. Right now i am just going throu the training and i havent started working in the house, but i just started last week. We are lectured on confidentality and a few other things. They are paying for me to take CPR (which is nice because i was planning on taking it throu bsu, so i dropped it cause they are paying for it), and i have to take a few more "classes" for them before i can do a lot of things at the house. I am really excited to start working there.

I am all registered for spring at bsu, i hopefully am taking better classes and ones that wont stress me out as much as they did this past semester.

Mondays: Math 4 elementary school teachers 1 (2-2:50), Lifespan development (3-4:50), ASL 2 (6-8:40)
Tuesdays: Health & Drugs in society (10-11:50), People/envionment education pers(4-5:15)
Wednesday: Math 4 elementary school teachers 1 (2-2:50). Lifespan development (3-4:50)
Thursdays: People/envionment education pers (4-5:15)
Fridays: Math 4 elementary school teachers 1 (2-2:50)

so thats all i have for this post

new post about nothing

2008-11-29T14:07:00.002-06:00

yeah so nothing has been now with me, but i decided to post something just for the heck of it. I am still looking for a job and no place is really hiring anybody part time right now. and no not even seasonal (like for the holidays) jobs are out here in bemidji. soo i am really strongly disliking bemidji at the moment. and nobody seems to understand that no body is hiring, but ohhh well.

so a few weeks ago, me and my boyfriend went into the ditch with my truck. and yes we are all ok, some nice guy came and pulled us out. and thankfully it was my back end that went in, because if we would have went insideways my truck would have rolled or if we would have went in with the front end into the ditch my truck would no longer be working because we went into 2-3 feet of water.

soo yeah thats all that has been new wtih me, schools fine but im stressed. i am soo looking forward to the end of the school year which is almost here. so i guess i should get going i have nothing else to say for the moment

my new computer

2008-09-21T16:08:00.006-05:00

It seems like all i do is sleep, work, go to school, homework and thats its. I have no life. But the good news is that next weekend is my last weekend working at ruttgers!!! yay!!!

I have been looking forward to buying my own computer that i didnt have to give back at the end of the school year. And i sent Annie money, since she was coming home for Ryan and Rachels wedding, to pick up my new computer for me at best buy. She was going to go friday before her classes started and thankfully she didnt. Alex thankfully went earlier in the week and picked it up for me!! and the one he got me was the second to last one and the guy behind him had got the last one. I like it so far, but it has some getting used too

Im gunna start job hunting tomorrow and hopefully i can get a good job that pays well and that will have hours that will work out for me. And my boss at ruttgers says that i can use her for a reference if i wanted too.

Sonney bought me flowers the other day for no reason. arnt they purty!!!!!

quick but boring post

2008-09-06T14:41:00.002-05:00

school is going ok, not too exciting yet. my classes are either good or not so interesting. Here is my schedule:

Mondays: Intro to Psychology (11-11:50); Women and Philosophy (3-3:50)
Tuesdays: Astronomy (2-3:20); Public Speaking (4-4:50)
Wednesdays: Intro to Psychology (11-11:50); Women and Philosophy (3-3:50); American Sign Language 1 (6-9 pm)
Thursdays: Astronomy (2-3:20); Public Speaking (4-4:50)

Its kinda weird to say but i actually like my public speaking class its fun and its taught by an un-traditional teacher!!!! my american sign laungauge class is interesting and its fun but hard work remembering how to sign somethings. its nice because its only 1 night a week but it sucks cause its 6-9 pm!!!!!!! yuck

end of summers means school

2008-08-25T12:38:00.005-05:00

So i had a good last week of my summer. I have a few good memories and now its time to go back to school :( . I went last thursday to go see free style moto-x at the bemidji speedway. And the guy who was the one doing the tricks was named "Cowboy" Kenny Bartram. who was really awesome, even thou it was windy he did manage to do some more daring tricks including a backflip wow.
the trick that cowboy kenny is doing here is called a whip.

"Back to school. Back to school, to prove to Dad that I'm not a fool. I got my lunch packed up, my boots tied tight, I hope I don't get in a fight. Ohhhh, back to school. Back to school. Back to school. Well, here goes nothing." Haha i love that quote from Billy madison. Today was the first day of school for me. I already had one class today and i have to go back in a few hours for another. I was a bit nervous when i was walking there because it is way bigger then crookston was. and i barely had a clue were i was going but i managed to figure it out.

a goooooddd weekend

2008-08-11T15:47:00.010-05:00

Sorry that it has been awhile but i have been busy working and not a lot interesting things have been going on. But i had this whole past weekend off, which i cant believe i scored that

One of my best friends got married saturday and it was a beautiful wedding. it was outside at deeper life bible camp in blackduck. The reception was as great, but my boyfriend and i had to serve punch and coffee at it and it got rather heckic at some points and we wound up running out of stuff at the end but it was still really good. And her cake was in the shape of a bell and it was hanging. The pic below is my friend Heather (who was the one who got married), me, and my friend LaRae.

Heather loves ducks, and rubber duckies. what can i say? she found bride and groom ones.

Mr. And Mrs. Cronemiller

On sunday i went tubing with my parents, their friends gary, brenda, mary, kevin, jake, lori, and my boyfriend sonney. it was a lot of fun and we say 2 turtles.

Big snapper

Sonney and me

it was a great weekend

wow

2008-07-08T22:31:00.003-05:00

so sorry but i have been busy and havent had much time to post anything lately. Im still working 5 days a week at ruttgers.

I spent my 4th of july weekend in some interesting but still fun ways. the 4th of july i spent with my parents and their friends gary and brenda. And we went out on the lake and just cruised. Then we went to the green mill and met up with my parents friends mary and kevin. and then we order some yummy pizza and watched the fire works which were very loud because we were right next to were they were setting them off from. We would have been out on the lake but we order the pizza and the lake was very packed. And the boat could only seat 5 and we also had chuck because it was his birthday.

After work on the fifth, i went to Cass Lake with my boyfriend and his family. It was a fun time. The lake was like very shallow, we went out in a paddle boat and we went out a far ways and it was still shallow. This pic was takin there wasnt it purty
So my best friend is getting married in a month and a day. I cant believe it. I might cry.

Ok so sorry i got confused because it is the summer and my brain isnt functioning. And 2 days from now is mine and sonney's anniversary.

sorry that its been a while

2008-06-05T20:12:00.002-05:00

OK so sorry it took me forever to post a new blog, but i have been really busy this summer. I astarted my new job a few weeks ago, i am now working a Ruttger's Birchmont lodge. I am cleaning cabins there, and still not sure how i feel about working there, but it is only for the summer. So my new job has been keeping me pretty busy lately, and i sleep a lot too. Its hard work cleaning them cabins dont cha know....

ok so i do have a boyfriend now, and it will be our 4 month anniv. on the 10th. His name is Sonney (ok so it is his nickname, but everyone calls him that), and he is a voleenter firefighter and works for the DNR for a bit. He is a smoke chaser there (that is basically a firefighter).

well, i dont really have all that much to post, but give me some time. i gotta go before i fall asleep on my mom's computer

IM DONE!!!!!

2008-04-30T11:12:00.002-05:00

ok so today is my last day at the university of minnesota crookston. I am transferring to Bemidji State University next fall. I just took my last final of the day, but i have to wait until 5:30-5:40ish to leave. I have to go to my composition class at 2 to listen to the last couple of presentations and then i have to work from 4-5:15. Then i just have to put the last few things in my truck and check out with my RA and then im outta here.

I have a job interview tomorrow at 10 at the day care center at the Gym Bin in bemidji. I hope that i get the job. And on monday i am registering for classes at bemidji state.

Well, i just thought that i would post a quick update and let everyone know how i am doing.

Holly ann

taking a quick break

2008-04-16T20:47:00.002-05:00

oh alright, so i descided to take a quick break from homework to let everyone know how im doing. and i can sum it up in one word, and that word is: sdkjfiewroiwefroesajfskdfjosdifjew!! yep that about sums it up. haha just messing with you.

My truck now runs thanks to 3 very nice people who took time out of their busy schedules to help me out. It was my starter, and it cost me around $80 for the new one and yeah it took 4 days to get it in. 3 days to get it out and 1 day to get it in. The 3rd day, two other people came and helped me and Sonney out. And that day was the first day that people actually stopped and asked if we needed help, but we didnt need it, because we already had other people helping us. And wouldnt you think that if somebody's hood was up on their vehical, ment that they needed help, but nobody came and offered any. AARRGGG i am strongly starting to hate the red river valley. And the 3rd day we finally got the old starter out around 9 pm. and the next day it only took around 2 hours to get the new one in. so now everytime i start my truck, i just have to say "ooowwwwwww". haha

14 more days until im done with my first year of college. And these will be my last 14 days at the university of minnesota crookston. I will be transferring to bemidji state next year for personal reasons. I am highly stressed here and there is no place for me to get rid of my stress. And i am sick of having nothing to do here.

well i better get back to homework

KENNY!!!!! :(

2008-04-06T14:29:00.004-05:00

Ok, so when i first got my 1993 Dodge Dakota i named him Kenny after my favorite country singer Kenny Chesney.

My truck, for the past few months has been having some problems starting. And now it barely starts. I cant really get my igintion to catch. I love my truck so much!!!!!!!

sorry sorry again

2008-03-24T21:26:00.002-05:00

ALRIGHT IM SORRY!!! im sorry that it has been awail. im been super busy. I have had tons of homework and been working alot. I just got back from spring break, and i am wondering where the time went. I just got back and i already need another one. Escpecially after the past 2 days. somebody siphoned my gas yesterday and bio teacher didnt show up today! and a few other little thing like that happened. But i just have to remember 5 more weeks or 37 days. (yes i started counting down).

I have desided to transfer back to bemidji state next year for personal reason and also it will be better $$ wise in the end and they have like the best education program in the state. Three of the personal reasons are: im tired of being sick all the time, i always stressed, and i miss my family (my family are like my stress relievers also).

HAHA i swear that there are not any pepsi trucks in the grandfork/crookston area. but i must have saw the one and only. lol. just joking.
I want this truck!!!!!! My parents friend's gary and brenda, well actually gary got a new work truck. DODGE WITH A HEMI!!!!!! I almost stoled it. haha

Sorry that this wasnt the most interesting post, but yeah

only 360 more days

2008-02-25T14:17:00.003-06:00

Only 360 more days until im 21!!! i thought that it was only 359 days, but i forgot about the lead-a-year thing. I went home this past weekend and had a great time. I got a bunch of movies and stuff from my family. Annie gave me a bag of skittles (which are gone now), the movie hope floats, and wild hearts cant be broken (i think that was the other movie that she gave me), and a window decal for my truck that says cowgirl up (shown below). And my parents gave me 3 western movies (even though my mom picks on me for my love of western style stuff and country music, she still buys me stuff like that, hehe). I got the first and second season of The Magnificent Seven, and 3:10 to Yuma. My parents just got back from mexico not this past weekend but the weekend before. I got a t-shirt and a very nice/comfortable cotton very thin zip up sweatshirt style shirt. and i got 3 necklaces. all very cute.
This past weekend, i got a new tattoo. Its says SISU and i just love how it turned out!!!

I also got my hair cut and colored this weekend by my cousin Melissa. I just love how it turned out, even thou it wasnt really what i wanted, i still love it, it was a happy accident.

I better go and do some homework

boredom

2008-02-17T21:24:00.004-06:00

Yeah, ok! so i havent had much to do today, so i am extremely bored! I went to work and yeah i got done around the time that i usually do (1:30ish) and i did my homework. And i started a small project (that had nothing to do with school) and got bored with that, so i havent really done anything interesting and i think that i might be losing my mind. OK JUST KIDDING!!! lol. but seriously i have been so bored today.

OK so last sunday i was watching that last 30-45 minutes of You Got Mail. And i saw the part when tom hanks is trying to explain why he didnt show up for the date. and you know how he kept hitting the backspace button over and over again. every time i hit it i have to laugh. sorry for the randomness.

hehe cute huh?

haha, funny! jk

ok, so maybe i am just going crazy and need a vacation!

AAAAWWWWWW!!!!

2008-02-06T21:22:00.000-06:00

OK, sorry. It was a really stressful couple of weeks. I had two major test today and a small one that my teacher suprised us with at the end of class.

LESS THEN TWO WEEKS!!! in less then two weeks, i am going to be 20!!!!!! and as you can probably tell, i am getting really excited. And so far all i can tell you is that on my birthday i will get up around 10 (because tuesdays are the only day of the week that i can sleep in) and go to work and serve the childern lunch (because that is was i do on tuesdays) from 11-12. And the i will go to my sociology class (basically the only class that i like this semester) from 12-1:15 and then i am done for the day!!!!

And then when i go home to celebrate my birthday with my family after they come back from mexico, i am going to get my hair cut just like Kellie Pickler. I love her hair style. My hair has been bugging me for a while now, but i have been letting it grow out, so that i can get it done like her's.

I found out today that tomorrow they need me to work in the morning from 8-10, so that means that tomorrow i will go strait from 8-1:15 and then have to go back from 3-5:15. i guess it well be good practice from later on, but i will promise you this: on my hour and 45 minute break, i will be total UNPRODUCTIVE (just like most of my breaks). And i think the term power nap comes to mind.

well, i should try and go to bed early, why might you ask? well, i'll tell you. I was falling asleep on my homework earlier. (SORRY MOM)

sorry, its been awhile

2008-01-27T16:15:00.000-06:00

Hey sorry that its been awhile, i have been really really really busy with school, work study, my weekend job, and homework, and not to forget sleep.
Nothing really exciting has really happened to me lately, i dont really care for most of my classes yet. but i love my sociology class. i really like the teacher, he makes the class so interesting.

Its only like 3 weeks until my 20th b-day. i am getting really really excited. (sorry i am really really hyper right know). And something that i kind of want is to go to mexico with my parents. but they wont let me, becuase of school.

well i suppose that i should do some homework. i will update when i have more free time. bye

I'm Back Already? (another post)

2008-01-08T15:33:00.000-06:00

ok, so i have some more time now. I just got done with my sencond day of my second semester, just 14 1/2 more weeks to go (or something like that). Classes are going ok, for the 5 classes that i have had in the past 2 days, they are all mostly full. And i am not a morning or people person, and my College Algebra class is at 8 am and it is packed. yeah!! (jk).

Last wednesday i went sledding with some friends and had a lot of fun. We had to go down the side otherwise you would hit some pretty big bumps. I wasnt so lucky some of the times. It was really cold out, so we went and had some hot chocolate afterwords.
For new years eve, i went to my friend LaRae's house. Here is my friend Emily and me before we all went home.

I am taking 6 classes this semester=15 credits.

Mondays: College Algebra 8-9, Applications Suite Softwear 10-11, Composition two 11-12, and General Biology (LEC) 2-3:15

Tuesdays: Intro to Sociology 12-1:15

Wednesdays: same as mondays

Thursdays: Gerneral Biology (LAB) 10-12, Intro to Sociology 12-1:15

Fridays: College Algebra 8-9, Composition two 11-12

(sorry if i already posted that once before)

I bought my books and it wasnt pretty. My arm hurt the whole walk back to my dorm afterwards. I am just thankfull that crookston is just a small campus. $450!! yuck!! Here is a pic of all my books and notebooks. I put my razer right next to it to show you all what it looks like.

Well, i better go and do some homework, :( .

I'm Back Already? (quick post)

2008-01-06T22:00:00.000-06:00

It just feels like i left just a few days ago, and now im already back. where did my vacation go?
These are some pics that i took on my way home tonight. The sunset was so beautiful!

My dad and me went out fishing friday and he caught a small walleye and a perch. and i also caught a small walleye. Saturday my dad took my grandpa out fishing and my grandpa caught a pretty nice walleye.

I start classes again tomorrow, and i am not really looking forward to it, i'll post more later

real people, down home cookin people

2007-12-30T12:28:00.000-06:00

"You know the the little white speck that is on the top of chicken shit? Well, it also chicken shit." That is from one of my favorite movies, Pure Country, with George Strait.

This is a pic that i took on my way from Crookston to Bemidji.
So what happen to my vacation? i leave a week from today :( That makes me extremely sad, because that means that i have to go back to living in the stupid dorms with all of the stupid people. Sorry about that. well i thought that i would make a quick post

YYAAYY im home

2007-12-19T11:43:00.000-06:00

I am done with my first semester of college! and now it is time to sleep. I got home monday night, and i am happy because i was extremely stressed and couldnt sleep in the dorms. Mostly because of all of the rude, loud, inconsiderate people that live in my dorm. OH well. I am just happy to be home.

Here is a picture of chucky, snuggling on the couch.
In my art class, we had to create whistles (and it was so hard to do, it took me 4 days to make it whistle and somebody made it whistle for me in like 5 minutes) and everybody said that it looked like nemo or a gold fish cracker. so i painted it like nemo but in John Deere colors. I am extremely happy with how it turned out.

I am so happy to be on break, i was in desperate need of a vacation and sleep. sorry that is is kind of a boring post i need a nap, im kind of tired.

And by the way, 2 months from today, is my 20th birthday!

"F*** me" "OH DARN"

2007-12-06T21:18:00.000-06:00

INCASE you didnt catch the title, its from the movie speed. DONT HAVE A COW!!

I just have 2 weeks left of my first semester of college! yes!! and now i have to start preparing for my first and only final...test that is. and that is on monday the 10th. I gave a presentation today which i was told was my final. i have a final paper to write for another class (which happens to be one of my least favorite classes), and i am 95% sure that i dont have to take my math final because of my 101% in the class. my math teacher told us that if we had an A but the end of the semester, we didnt have to take the final. So with my only test final on monday, i am kind of stressing out.

I answered yes. CRAP!!!
Im sorry that this is really random, but doesnt it remind you of the melhorn family at all?

GREAT ANSWER!!! can i use this for my final? just kidding

WHERE can i find this coffee cup?!?!?!? i really like it!!!!

So i am super excited for my 2 1/2 week x-mas vacation. its the 20-6th. short huh? i know two colleges that have the 21-21 off. that sucks!! but oh well, ive been told that my summer vacation starts earlier then everyone elses so HA!!!!

Sorry that this is a really random post

HEY!!! i just realized im feeling a little bit better!! yes! well, lets see how i feel tomorrow before i get super excited

i really dislike snow

2007-12-01T15:02:00.000-06:00

OK, so i am happy that i know work like 1/4 of a mile away from work, and that made the drive back from work today great. And i am also happy that i have 4 wheel drive. The only problems that i encountered was the stupid drive going 50+ on highway 2. He almost hit me! I pulled onto the shoulder of the road a little ways before my turn and the guy didnt even change lanes. what a dick!
OK so we all know whtat is going on in the midwest right now. and yes it does suck

Here is the state of minnesota...

A view from my dorm room....

OK, so last night, friday night, i needed to get out of my dorm room, because i was getting ticked off at my whole wing. The boys on the floor above me we playing there music loud and running around an stomping. and the girls on my floor where screaming and playing their music louder then the boys. So i decided to go and do some x-mas shopping in grand forks. And as usual, while buying somestuff for my family, i ended up buying myself a few new things, like a brand new hooded sweatshirt...
I am also battling a cold and trying not to get it. UMC offered the flu shot and it was free and i completely forgot about it. So i didnt get it. And alot of the students who got it, ended up getting the flu. So i lucked out there. But ij the early child care center on friday, i was informed that a lot of the kids there had/were getting the flu, so we had to was our hands a lot. And i am hoping that i dont get it.

Well, i will talk to you later

Im getting old

2007-11-26T14:31:00.000-06:00

Ok so i was going to post something on thursday when i was home in bemidji, but i couldnt remember my password.

Well anyways i had a great thanksgiving at home. I left crookston as soon as i was done with my class wednesday and had a pretty interesting drive home, my truck trucked turned 100,000 miles, not bad for a 1993 dodge dakota. That happened as soon as i drove through bagley. And wouldnt you know it, but something got messed up with my speedometer (sorry about the spelling) and my mileage meter thingy got stuck. but as soon as i got home and told my dad what happened it started working again, but that usually happens. And i was only home for like 15 minutes before i left again to hang out with some of my friends that i havnt seen since august. We had a blast, but we went and saw a christmas movie and i dont care for them one bit, so i am not going to tell you anything about it. we saw fred Claus (again sorry on the spelling). Thursday i went over to my grandpa and grandma melhorns house. We spent the time watching a couple of episodes of country fried home videos (and i know what you are thinking mom, i didnt pick the channel) and had the typical melhorn dinner conversations (haha i miss those). And then had some of my grandmas cooking and it was so good everyone was uncomfortable later. My cousin Melissa cut my hair that night too, while everyone else was watching wild hogs. wow huh? Im not going to tell you what i did friday and it wasnt bad. Saturday Annie came home and i hung out with her in the morning and had lunch with her and my mom. And that evening i had to leave for crookston, because i had to work sunday.

Yeah so theres my exciting life, and i am counting down the days until my 17 day christmas break. its not very long at all, is it?

11 more days

2007-11-11T21:28:00.000-06:00

ok, so nothing new has really happened in my life to post about. I have been trying (key word there is trying) to catch up on my sleep, and i haven't really gained much ground on that area. I have be counting down the days til thanksgiving when i can finally go home. Just 11 more days. i have a small calender that i made in my room and i have been marking off the days. Work drained me so bad this week. Friday i was back and forth between work and my dorm, all day long. and this weekend, we didnt have all that many people staying at the hotel, but they people who did, were really messy and it took forever to clean their rooms. we had a wedding there this weekend, and they had a really stange wedding. they said their vows by the pool. why? And today, nobody wanted to get up and they were getting mad at us for banging on their doors. And i dont recommend bringing your pet to our hotel. its SO much work for the housekeeper's. we have to move all the beds, tables, chairs, etc around, and that stuff isnt light. all of our backs were killing us by the end of the day. and then monday the housekeepers have to shampoo the carpit for our guest with allergies. and we had 3 rooms today where we had dogs in them. it was a long day and i would have been done early but a coworker had to leave early and i said that i could stay and help and my manager said that that would look good on my review for my raise.

So i have another exciting week head of me, NOT!!! let you know how my week went, ok?

DIAMOND RIO!!!

2007-11-03T14:54:00.000-05:00

Yesterday, me and 3 other missys went and saw Diamond Rio at the shooting star casino. They are SSOOO good, and they put on a great show. And not to mention, they are so fun and have tons of great stories and music.

After the concert, we were kind of hungry, and there wasnt really any place to eat in Mahnomen. So we went to Erskine (sorry on the spelling) and had some REALLY good pizza at this place called Joe DiMagious (sorry spelling again, is a resterant that has a sports/baseball) theme to it). My roommate works there, so thats how i know about it.

I finally got my cowgirl boots. after how long have i been wanting to get them? oh it feels like forever. and it also took a while for them to get here, i order them about 3-4 weeks ago.

well, other then that, nothering else has really happened to me.

blah blah blah

2007-10-28T07:49:00.000-05:00

ok so not a lot has been new with me. Except I started my new job yesterday morning. I am a cleaning lady at the Northland Inn. i dont really know how if feel about this job yet mostly because it has only been one day. but i can say this, the people that i work with are WAY more nicer, helpful, and talkative then most of the people than i worked with at kmart.

On another note. I am going to see Diamond Rio in concert at the Shooting Star Casino in Mahnoman on Nov 2nd. the ticket were REALLY cheep for this concert. VIP tickets were just $20, select were $14, reserved $10, and gerneral tickets were $7. I went for the reserved ticket. I am in the very first row of the reserver in the middle, so hopefully i will have good seat. My mom thinks that i need to meet some new people with different names, because i am going with a Melissa, a Missy, and yet another Missy.

I will let you all know how the concert went.

My Weekend In Bemidji

2007-10-15T11:16:00.000-05:00

Hey, so not a whole lot has happened to me since my last post. I quit my job at kmart in grand forks, and i am now gonna work at the northland inn here in crookston. And i also got sick of running down to the parking lot to talk on my cell phone, so i have a new one and a new number.

I went home this past weekend, and spent sometime with my mom and my cousin Melissa. Me and Melissa mostly did art stuff, i had to finish a project for my art class and she had to finish a costum.

These two pictures are from my drive from bemidji to crookston. Pretty huh?

Me and Melissa

Me and Melissa went to see Collin Raye saturday night in Walker, MN. He was REALLY good. i havent heard of him until melissa mentioned his concert to me on thursday night, and then next day i went and found some of his music. I feel in love with him at the concert. he was really good and his music was the best.

Good Luck

Good Luck Daddy!!!!!

My dad is heading off to Colorado on Tuesday to go elk hunting! I bet he is getting super excited, but really stressed, with the whole packing thing. But i know that he will have a great time

my boring life

2007-10-03T21:31:00.000-05:00

Ok so my life is extremely boring!! whenever im not in class, im working one of my jobs, and whenever im not doing either of those things, im doing homework. But atleast i now finally have a job that i can finally enjoy, it helps. I LOVE working in the early childhood education department so much, the toddlers and infants are wonderful.

So, i got to finally go home last weekend to see my parents and my friends. On friday night i went and saw a hypnotist at bemidji state and then i went to perkins afterwords. and i bumped into a bunch of my friends. On saturday, i went and saw 3:10 to Yuma with my cousin Melissa. They havent made many westerns lately and so that movie called out to us. It was really good, a little bit bloody and there was a lot of killing. But it got to the point where me and melissa started laughing after all of the killing sences. After the movie we went to Dave and Denises house to celebrate Daves 50th birthday. OH what, sorry his $49.95 plus tax birthday. It was a lot of fun, and great that i got to spend time with everyone who was there.

Sunday was full of tons of homework before i left. But on the way home, i witnessed the most beautiful sunset ever. I stopped and took a few pics on the way home. I must take after my mom in that department (loving sunsets).

Like i said, i have a pretty boring life, and thats all that i have for now.

not much new

2007-09-24T11:13:00.000-05:00

I had a pretty stressful week, last week. I put about 300ish miles on my truck just from saturday the 15th to sunday the 23rd. that was a lot of driving. My boss at kmart was gone, and i had to pick up some more hours. i got about 26 hours in. i worked saturday, sunday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, saturday, and sunday. it was a 100% stressful. i would love to go up to canada now. it is the one place that can truly relax me.

Ruckus is free for college students, and i have just taken advantage of it. I have been a small fan of Rhett Akins for the past few months, and i have never been able to listen to much of his stuff at home, but i was able to get most of his songs now. and i love him even more now. And i know what you must be thinking mom, "where did i go wrong?" just look what family you married into. But he is such a good singer and all of his songs are amazing.

I am really looking forward to friday because i get to go back to bemidji. to see my family and friends, and to eat a home cooked meal. the food here is not good. Annie and Alex went to bemidji this past weekend, and on there was home they made a detour to Crookston to see me and to bring me some ribs!! i love ribs they are one of my favorite meals. and they were really good.

Well i better do some homework

Happy B-Day!!!

hey everyone,
Well, there hasn't been a lot going on with me lately, been kindof busy lately, with school, work in the child care center here on campus, and my job at the Grand Forks kmart, and of course..Studying. Now I already gave you my school schedule, now here's my work schedule:

Sundays: 12:30-4:30 --> Grand Forks Kmart
Mondays: 3:30-4:45 --> Not sure what room I'm supposed to be working in in the Child Care center
Tuesdays: 1:15-2:00 --> Toddlers
Wednesdays: 11:00-12:00 --> Toddlers
Thursdays: 3:00-3:45 --> Toddlers
Fridays: 11:00-12:00 --> Infants
1:00-3:00 --> Infants
3:00-3:45 --> Kitchen (to help with the kids snacks)
3:45-4:45 --> Toddlers
Saturdays: 11:00-3:00 --> Grand Forks Kmart

So there you have it. I am getting 8 hours a week at kmart, and 10 hours a week in the child care center. It kind of sucks that I am working everyday, but my boss at kmart said that if i need a weekend off, i would most likely get it off without asking 2-3 months in advance.

Now to a more sadder note, i fucked up my toe last thursday evening. so everyone knows how short i am, right? well anyways, I was standing on my desk (which is right next to my closet and i have a shelf right over it) to get something out of one of my boxes that i have ontop of my shelf. and i thought that i was pretty far up on my desk and in reality i wasn't. and when i went to step down (my chair was pretty far away from me) i fell right off the edge of the desk and landed right on one of my toes. and now it really hurts and i might have to go and have it looked at monday. but i am going to see how it feels before i do that.

Well i hope everyone is feeling better then me.
Love Holly Ann
