Home again, naturally....

Yes- I am home- but technically it is on a weekday. I had a good weekend- it went too fast- and the weather wasn't the best. In fact I spent the afternoon and night at Nutty's drinking it up with my friends- Kathy and her husband, and Rebekah and Jamie- who just got engaged last week. Congrats!!! They are getting married in August, the 6th to be more precise. Yowza! Anyway I had a fun time being the fifth wheel- although man- in the future it is going to suck. I miss my friends.

I also got to spend time with my nieces- and man I miss seeing them more often- as in more than once a week or every other week. I want to be there to watch Samantha as she grows. I was really entertaining her today- she was so smiley and she was laughing up a storm. She is into shaking her head from side-to-side and laughing- is she making herself dizzy I don't know. Anyway- life is good no complaints here. Well- that's not true a person can always have complaints.

But anyway- I hope that this next month is good to everyone- especially me.

Thrift Store junkie

Hey- I would just like to state for the record that I am not constantly running to my parent's house every weekend- In fact I am looking forward to next weekend just hanging out in SF. I had a sleepover with my niece this weekend. I picked her up on Friday and brought her to SF, we spent all day Saturday wandering around SF- we took in Falls Park and went to so many thrift stores (Goodwill, etc.) that I almost dropped. We ended up getting a lot of stuff- practically new board games- like really cool and interesting ones- Cranium Cadoo and Disney's Charades. And I of course found a lot of books. My brother was dropped off at our place later on that night and we went to the Luverne drive-in theater. We watched Shrek 2 and very little of the second movie, Envy, the one with Ben Stiller and Jack Black. Didn't stay for very much of it at all- mainly because of the rain and lighting- but also because it really didn't seem like it would be any good.

I have been go go go with her for that last two days I am so tired. I can't wait to just go home and sleep. Oh yeah- and Gilmore Girls was really good on Tuesday. I wish I would have taped it- Luke and Loraeli finally kiss and hello! Rory has sex with her married ex-boyfriend- it was intense. How strange would that be to lose your virginity to a married man? Well I guess it happens every day- hahaha- I just reread that- I will reword- to someone else's husband.

I have got to get going out of town- and I will not be back next weekend- well never say never- but I intend to not be back next weekend- so chiao.

Plans get easily scraped

Well my niece is either sick or tired, well or both. She really wanted to come up and spend the night, so next weekend should work out better. Oh yeah- I watched the Gilmore Girls throughout the week- and man I love that show- I am so pumped about the finale on Tuesday.

My sister told me she heard a tape of the decapitation of that Adam Berg- she started explaining it to me and I almost fainted from hearing her talk about it. The screaming was something she was never going to forget. I just don't know about this world- it frightens me so much. There are so many hateful people of all types. Torturing and humiliating, visciously killing innocent people- I just don't understand.

So now I am waiting for a last load of laundry and then I am going to hit Wal-Mart and go home.

The joys of a new phone

Well there aren't many joys of having a new phone- since it is the same model as the old one. But this one actually works! Which makes me happy! The plus side of having a new phone is that I didn't save numbers- you may ask why that is a good thing because to you it probably sounds bad- but it isn't. I had a lot of phone numbers and peoples names that I never received phone calls from and that I never called- now I am not reminded of them every time I scan through my numbers. I do wish I had some of the phone numbers, and I probably can locate them easily enough- but there are some that will forever be lost unless the person calls me.

I am up in Brookings for an afternoon- then I am taking my niece up to SF for a sleepover. I went to sleep at 9:00 PM last night- no joke! I had worked from 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM and I had only got five hours of sleep before that. Reminder- I work with small, energetic children the whole time. Anyway- I am ready to get back to Sioux Falls and get back into my routine of life.

Oh yeah- the Survivor finale was cool- Rob should have won. I kind of feel guilty being so attracted to him- but there is something about the Boston accent. I guess I will just have put it in a fantasy bank- man I'm strange...

Ah crap how could I forget that!?

Oh yeah I forgot the most important thing- my phone died on me yesterday. I only have a cell phone for communication to the outside world and I was talking to my sister yesterday and it died. I knew I had charged the fucker up so it wasn't that- anyway I brought it to Radio Shack and my battery works well in the phone there- so it is something else- stupid fucking phone! I am leaving the duty to bring it in to my mom tomorrow- because I just couldn't stomach the idea of sleeping over. So I hope and pray that I get a new phone tomorrow- please Lord- or even better my old phone miraculously fixed.

Oh yeah- and I got to spend time with my adorable niece Samantha- or as I will start to call her Sammie Sosa.

Okay- promise that is all! Except my ex-best friend still hasn't called me- that is why she is given the title of ex.

Big Survivor Night

Yep I'm home for Mother's Day- I had to come up and watch it with my mommy. It was a fun night- I actually was a little excited that Boston Rob made it to the final two. He played an excellent game- he should have won. Anyway- now that it is over maybe I can get a life- at least until Amazing Race starts that is. Life is good- lonely sometimes- but good and very tidy. I just recently watched two movies 'Win a Date with Tad Hamilton' and 'Kill Bill Vl.1'. I must say I enjoyed Kill Bill. I am glad I saw it by myself, although I do regret having watched it in the dark. I just got 'Dickie Roberts, Child Star', 'Seabiscuit', Friends Season 6, and a screener version of 'Stuck On You' from my sister so I will be happily entertained for the next couple of weeks.

I have another admission about entertainment to make- I bought the Gilmore Girls Season One DVD set- even though I shouldn't have - I mean I don't have a lot of money- what am I doing! But it was worth it! I just adore the character of Loreali Gilmore. I mean I wouldn't want to be a single mother of a 16 year-old at age 32, but other than that I want to be exactly like her. She doesn't always say the right things- but even the wrong things are brilliant. I just want to live in Stars Hollow and marry Luke- ahhh! Okay, I'm done.

I just realizied that I need to get an actual life- goodbye!

Happy May Day!

I came up to Brookings Friday night- and I am just getting ready to head back to Sioux Falls. I have painted for the last two weekends- and it is fun- but man is it tiring. It is probably also tiring because I went out and stayed out until 4. I then came home and stayed up until 5 AM. I just feel so old. All I want to do is go home and snuggle with my cat- watch television and light some candles. I intend to have a full day of either going to the Falls to read or cleaning my apartment, or both.

So I went to sleep at 5 and was up and watching my nieces at 10:30. So I am still sleepy.

Oh yeah- that is what I was going to do tomorrow- try to catch a $2 matinee. Yes, I am that cheap that I make it in time to go to a $2 movie- that dollar makes a difference people!

I left a message last night to someone who I haven't talked to in a while- and sure enough I received no phone call back- ahhhhhhh!!!

But I am tired and my laundry is almost done.
So bye!
