How to avoid guys, tip #1 Don't take advice from me!

SO, after all my frustration with men, I decided I needed to get away, and what better way to get away from men then to visit three of them! So, I headed off to Bemidji to visit Matt, Javin, and Chad. What fun, I was back home in Bemidji again. I love that place, miss college, and definitely highly miss my beloved friends!

So I drove to Bemidji from Togo, MN at very fast speeds (well I was following the speed limit, but not the recommended cornering speeds). At one point, I was going down this very bumpy cornering road when I came around the corner and noticed 3 deer on the road at 60 miles an hour, so I slammed on the brakes, and much to my dismay there were many bumps and cars can't brake in mid air!!!!! So I let off the brake and came crashing down, and luckily the noise of my car falling to pieces scared the deer into the ditch (sheesh, close one)! Along I went cruising through the middle of no where, but I was excited because I hadn't been to Effie in a while, and I had never been to Northome, Turtle Lake, or Black Duck!!!!

I called my friend Jeremy and chitter chattered happily about my journey while screaming about the drivers going 50 in a 60 mile an hour zone!!! Were the five 60 mile an hour speed limit signs wrong or what?!??! You are not suppose to go UNDER the speed limit... GRRRRRRR..... SO eventually, I harassed Jeremy enough (calling him two times), and I let him go and arrived in Bemidji. I was so excited that I called Jeremy again!!!! So, I let Jeremy off the phone, and I called Javin and found my way to him, Chad, and Matt's home.

Matt and Javin where home so I chit chatted with them until Javin left, and then I chit chatted with Matt. The next day, me and Javin went on a date to breakfast (which we didn't know was a date until the end of the day). After breakfast, we went shopping for souvenirs for my friends back home (wherever my home is, I am not quite sure yet). Yes, I took the poor guy shopping, and he passed test number one. I even found a good exercise for Newsy News..... the block exercise. Cut off a small chuck of wood, throw the wood on the floor, and walk around it twice, then you can say you walked around the block twice (please post newsynews). Next, me and Javin rented a movie which I still don't know what happened in because after one and a half hours nothing had happened so we shut it off. After we shut off the movie, we talked about the day and I stated that I was going to hang out with Chad the next day, but I didn't want Chad thinking it was a date. Me and Javin talked about this, and we decided I could ward Chad off by telling him me and Javin went on a date, so at the end of the day we decided we had a date. So Chad showed up, and I was suppose to go roller skating with Chad, but we had to wait for Kyle (who I hadn't seen since college five years ago) to drop off a gun cabinet for Chad (not a very safe contraption if you ask me because there was no glass on the doors so you could pull the guns out, and Chad left the key in the cabinet, sees!). So, Kyle showed up and we all decided to go out for breakfast (YES, three guys all to myself for breakfast, who is complaining?). On the way out to breakfast, I talked about a monster truck show in the cities I wanted to go to, and Kyle agreed. Kyle stated we should go, and I thought that sounds like a great date. I agreed and we had two against two. Javin wanted to go, but had to work, and Chad whined about the drive (personally I don't believe he wanted the others encroaching on his date, but I decided I liked the new guy better). So, we decided to hold off reluctantly. We went out for breakfast, and Kyle continued to figure out expensive divided four or three ways for the monster truck show, but we still decided it wouldn't work. Come 12:30, Kyle realizes he was suppose to meet his brother for work at noon (an hour drive away), so Kyle calls his brother and states "I am running a little late." So, Kyle continues to run late, and sticks around longer gabbing. About the time Kyle probably finally started thinking about leaving, work calls Javin and states that they had some vehicles down and he didn't need to go to work after all. Hmmmm... we figured we had to leave at 1:00 at the latest and it was ten to 1:00, so we decided to go. By 1:15, we were out the door and gone. :) Off to the cities we go, only a five hour drive! We made the drive in less then three hours, and in a stage coach none the less, with very good breaks!!!! So since Kyle was the first to want to go, I decided he was my date. Kyle agreed as long as he got to hold my hand, and I figured why not.

SO, we got to the metrodome, bought the tickets and I sat down. Then.... Javin sat down next to me, and stole Kyle's seat. So I reached across Javin, and held Kyle's hand, and Javin put his arm around me, while Chad glared. Hmmmm... that wasn't working, so I decided to fix the problem and asked Kyle if he wanted to walk around and he said sure. So we walked around, and I held Kyle's hand, but after a bit, Kyle was preoccupied and Chad grabbed my hand.... oh well I thought. So I held Chad's hand until I got a look from Kyle. I quickly brushed Chad off, and went back to holding Kyle's hand, and explained for Chad that Chad saw that he was preoccupied, and was trying to help out and look after me. A little later, both Chad and Kyle got distracted, so I held Javin's hand. Next we went back to the monster truck show, and Javin decided to be nice and let me sit in between them. So I sat there and I looked back and both Kyle and Javin were glaring at each other behind me!!!!! So, I decided to hold neither one's hand!!!! Well later, I gave in and grabbed Kyle's hand, and Javin tried to snatch the other, so I went back to holding no one's hand once more. So the show ended, and the happy crew of 100% norweigns in the stage coach headed back to Brrrmidji Minnesota in the dead of the night or actually morning at that time.

The moral of the story: In order to hold many guys at bay, divide your attention equally amongst them, and then no one gets the upper hand, and no one knows for sure what is going on!

Point number 2: Kyle was running REALLY late for work that day!

Forget the new fishing hole, abandon ship and swim to shore!!!!

Alright, enough fishing for this girl, I don't know what I was doing out in the boat in the first place since I don't know what I want, and I am not really interested in taking any fish home, nor do I like just throwing them back after they bite. Unfortunately, my boat is getting rather crowding with other people trying to point out new fishing holes or telling me which fish to try to catch. HELP ME! Apparently everyone else thinks I need to find that keeper to take home with me. Maybe they are tired of me fishing? I THOUGHT I had made it clear, I am not interested.... la la la...... GRRRRR... I know my blog seems to imply otherwise, but the truth of the matter is, no no no!!!! Perhaps because it is Valentines day soon everyone is on this kick?

So my Mom works this job where she meets all kinds of interesting people and gains a healthy knowledge of their background. My Mom also works with Lori, my ex-future husband's (Adam's) mom. Any how, I guess my Mom told Lori to make a list of good eligable men for me... (HELP ME!!!!), but Lori's response was "No, she is going to go out with Adam." My Mom quickly replied to this, I don't think she is really in any hurry, and I Adam hasn't shown too much interest lately. Lori then responded, "He likes her, I know he does, he just needs time." Now..... don't I get a say in this? So my Mom is making a list for me, and I hope she checks it twice and then........ burns it!!!! I believe the list is mimimal so far so I have lucked out, there is no one listed. My Mom said one guy fit the bill, nice, good looking, good job, but then when she asked him what he did for fun he said, "Well that is why it is hard for me in this area because I really don't like all that outdoors stuff." Yes!!!! I guess that comment got him axed off my list.

Without my Mom's help, and Lori trying to get me to go out with her son, I seem to be doing an alright job on my own. I ran into my brother's friend last night, and he was sort of hitting on me.... hmmmmm..... he is a nice guy, but... once again I have no idea what is going on lately and the last thing I need is to date one of my brother's friends... that would just be odd. I also have Jeremy of course still hanging close.... he is a sweet heart. Then there is...... a lot of guys all over the place looking for some reason.... is it rutting season? Where did all these guys come from? Why me..... are all the good women married already and I am the only one left? I am not use to the attention, and I am a rather plain and ordinary girl... nothing special and I like it that why, but what is with all the attention?

In conclusion, YIKES, ABANDON SHIP!!!! ABANDON SHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Work Boys

And after working with the boys at work a little more, my opinion... ehhhhh.... on to the next fishing hole! Who wants one any way?

Sticking it Rich, or Should I Say Locating a New Fishing Hole?

I have found gold, pure gold, all for the picking! I hit the Jack Pot! The fishing hole is plentiful! Who would have thought of the possibilities until seeing your co-workers in the daylight hours. I hit the jack pot.... oh what FUN to come!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went to my work meeting and all with these gorgeous guys popping out of the wood work, seemingly comeing out of no where.... with good jobs mind you since they work where I work, that live near by, and typically have good morals (once again most in my profession do), are outdoorsmen, and seem as friendly as can be. I was in heaven... yep ten guys my age that like the outdoors, look good, and with no other women around... yeah!!! At first they ignored me, and then Brandon (who I pick on mercilessly over Instant Messager at work, but have never met) introduces himself to me. Brandon seemed to open the can of worms though and everyone else came by... that one lone fish approaching the hook gave the others courage you see. So I met 4 Johns, 2 Chads, a Clint, and a Brandon for sure.... I met some other guys too, but they had rings on there fingers.. I forget there names? Hmmmm..... So anyways, one guy introduces himself and says "Hi. I am John, so your from Virginia, huh? Someones been talking about me? Hmmm... what have these boys been saying? Rats!!! My picking on Brandon probably was repeated and I scared them all away. *sighs* What is a girl to do... oh wait... this reminds me of a Treasure Islan Casino Commercial (not endorsing them, mind you), "the odds are better here." I am the only female to choose from after all. So on with my story.... so everyone filed out for lunch and I was left lost wondering what to do for an hour and a half so I asked Brandon where everyone was going, and he said out to eat, wanna come with, hop in my truck. So I went in Brandon's nice truck to his nice clean house (he is a guy isn't he? hmmm...), and then we went out to eat where he paid for two people's meals, my pop, and stated "see you should have ordered something I would have paid." Of course I did spend most of the meal talking to his good friend John. So at the end of the meal they picked on me more, I called them Red Necks stating I would fit in great up there, I watched the rest of training and took off, but not to worry I am furthering my research.... I haven't given up! I e-mailed Brandon and asked, "So is John or Chad single by chance?" Heeeheee mind you it was a joke because as I said before there are two Chads and four Johns.
