Updates and more updates, since I am too busy to post everyday let me try and remember it all....

Update on work at good ol' Togo:

Work is great, except the past couple days..... The last few days my mental haze returned, I was feeling great, and enjoying my job for about two or three weeks there, and I took ONE day where I only got six or seven hours of sleep instead of eight, and I was in a haze again where my thinking fuzzed up, and I was thinking... I can't think straight, did I get everything done? Can I fake it and figure out the rest of my work day in my haze? Can I make it home? Are my blood sugars okay? How can I stay awake? You have no idea how awful it is to be in this haze... you feel so out of it... completely out of it... and there is no way to get out of the haze except to fight through the haze until X time when you can drive home (hopefully awake and alice), stumble around, and finally crash on your bed, quickly falling into a deep sleep, oblivious to all around you.

I like having my weekend off and I know once I switch to afternoons it will be a LONG time before I see weekends off again... But I DON'T CARE, GET ME OFF NIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!! Hmmm... what happened? I was doing so well, no haze it was GREAT... I didn't feel that way last week... my solution, chew menthol gum (yes, it helps), and keep busy changing up what i am doing and acting crazy like, it works well for me!!!!

New occurances outside the norm:

I am working on moving my new trailer house over across the road from my parents that I recently bought. We have the skirting off the old one, and we will probably set up the new one and move it in on May 31st. Chris (the guy that was renting it) bought a house and said he will be out next month, so I will have the place to myself soon.. YES!!!! Privacy (right across the road from my parents, yeah right), quiet time (in other words more sleep), and home ownership (cleaning and cooking, yuck). Oh, I also got an added bonus, the owners are leaving me a swing set, YES FREE SWING SET... heeeheeeheee that will make people wonder... hmmm.....

The Tonka Toy:

My little tonka toy Corolla is treating me well, especially with roller coaster gas prices and extra bills coming soon.... (that isn't the type of coming soon I welcome). I also haven't wrecked my tranny YET!!!!!!!!! Actually I got he hang of that car pretty quick... although I so still stall it every one in a blue moon.

The New Horse:

My new horse is a peach and a handsome devil that has won my heart... rats I wanted to sell him and make a pretty penny... oh well, he brings me great joy so he is worth it... plus his direct Daddy keeps winning competitions so his price tag just keeps going up.... hee heee :). Maybe I will sell him yet, who knows.... I will just wait and see what else his Daddy does....

What have I been up to:

Lately I have been shooting, fishing, horseback riding, training my new horse (he hasn't killed me yet, me, the saddle, and the bridle are still in tact after riding!!!), looking at furniture, walking with friends, hanging out with friends, helping out friends, helping out my Dad (my Dad picked up a box at a Sheriff's auction with Heavy Metal CDs in it he didn't want it... he asked me about it, like I know about that stuff... huh... but I found out and sold them for him at a music shop), and running around making sure I get all the paper work completed on the new trailer. Heeheee all my chores everyone else has been taking care of for me... more fun time for me!!!!

Guys:

Adam... the only one I am interested in, helped my Dad with the skirting on my trailer and I seltp through it... yeah great huh? I haven't heard from him, but we text back and forth every once in a blue moon. Adam is really busy with his kick boxing, as he won Regionals and is soon to go on.. possibly being aired on ESPN.. My friend Jeremy keeps trying to convince me that I want to date him... he is rather persistant.. I can handle a guy like my brother's friend Scott that I know likes me but is to afraid to persue me, but what about Jeremy? What do I do with him... he just keeps doggedly pursuing.. and he is a very good friend.... yikes. I have just been hanging out with Scott more instead... but I am not sure if that is a good idea. Also, there is another Jeremy that my friend Amy tried to set me up with... and he is boring, nice, moral, has a 64 and a half mustang (his best quality), and he is a PUPPY dog!!!! Help me.... I don't need more men.. nope, nope.... I have enough thank you.................... NOOO MORE!!!!

That is all for now.... thanks for reading!

Mother's Day, why not Friend's day?

You know, I get the whole Mother's day concept because personally my Mom is great. For the most part Mom's listen, are understanding, are willing to help out in anyway they can, they are there for you, they always provide a shoulder to cry on, and they brought us into this world, and they should have a special day dedicated to them, but..... what about friends, they stick around and they don't even HAVE to, now that is impressive!

My Mom is still an expensive date!

So it is mother's day soon, and I figured that Saturday would be a much better day to treat my Mom then Sunday. I had the perfect plan, I would wake up early, ask my Mom to go out for lunch as an early Mother's Day treat, and swing buy the greenhouse to pick up a potted plant she wanted to surprise her. So I woke up late, my Mom had just eaten, and I asked her if she wanted to go to the green house, and she stated, "No not yet I want to wait because I don't want to take care of the plant inside the house." OKAY... soooo... now what? I explained my planned day, and asked her what she wanted to do. My Mom states, "I want to go look at this trailer house for you, I think it would be a good idea." Mind you last time we looked for trailer houses I ended up coming home with a car!!!!! Ah well, it is what my Mom wants to do right? So we looked at the trailer house, three bedrooms, huge kitchen, nice and airy, nice living room, appliances included, central air, only 6 years old, and over all very nice. So we leave and my Mom states, "I really like it, we should go to the bank and see how much your payments would be on a loan. I think you should offer 20,000 for it (they are asking 25,000). Hmmmm.... ummm... well, we shall see. Do you ever get the feeling other people are making your decisions for you? Over all, when I look at things, it would be a good idea for me, and I did really like the trailer house, but if I hang out with my Mom any more, I may have to file for bankrupsy!

Back from vacation with my Mom, Ex-future husband, and his Mom

My trip went wonderfully with my ex-future husband.... perhaps he can win back the future husband deal yet?

So I drove to Eauclair Wisconsin, and found the hotel right away after fighting with the crazy Wisconsin drivers in my manual. I entered the hotel and found my room (they had odds on one half of the building and evens on the other half... how confusing). Then I went to gather more stuff and Adam, Adam's friend Ryan, and Adam's little brother Jaime pulled up in Adam's Dodge pickup (he spent 3 times more on gas then me... heeheeeheee:)). I then proceeded to tell Adam he was going the wrong way, and that evens were the other way. Adam grinned at this and laughed and I wasn't sure why... then I found out, I thought Adam was staying in his Mom's room which was next to ours, but apparently the hotel gave him a free room, which was luckily in the same hall as us (So I didn't look like to much of an idiot). After this I went to Adam's Mom's room and her other son Phil was there with his girlfriend, which was GREAT because Phil's girlfriend had this threatened, puzzled look on her face for almost an hour observing me. After an hour, I overheard her ask Phil who I was, and then she relaxed. I am Adam's Mom's horseback riding friend of course, what is so hard about that? Next we went to the fight, and again I saw Adam take his shirt off :( :( :( :( :( :( :(. Hmmm... Adam has lost weight but man was his arm nasty... all black and.... well... ummm... white.... yes tattos... the whole arm!!!!! Yes, guys......I hate to say it, but women notice these things. To top things off Adam grins during the whole fight and laughs as he gets pounded in the face and kicked... and he was fighting a HUGE guy... I thought it was all over when I first saw the other guy, but Adam held his own, and over all it was a good fight with a tie the first round, Adam winning the second, and Adam losing the third. The end result.... the first judge said 29/28 Adam's favor... second judge 28/29 other guys favor... third judge 29/28 Adam's favor...... heeheeeheee Adam won. Unfortunately his brother Jaime got pummeled, but on the plus side he got pummeled gracefully and never gave up no matter how bad he was getting beat up.... plus some white collar kick boxing dude told Adam and Jaime that he wanted them to fight live on ESPN....hmmmmmmm....... Adam better get a tattoo on the other arm before then to balance out... you wouldn't want to be unbalanced now would you? After the fight we all went back to Adam's room for some healthy banter with his brothers, his Mom, his Dad, his kick boxing trainer and his wife (who run the sheep ranch we do the cattle drives on). I had a lot of fun picking on Adam, and getting to know Ryan. Hmmm... I thought I didn't get along with Adam's type of friends, but I was wrong this guy was good looking, polite, a lot of fun, and he had colorful tattos running up both arms, but he owns a tattoo shop in Duluth so it was understandable... advertising of course!!!! What fun.... and on the way home my Mom stated, "You know it is quite obvious that Adam likes you, he just doesn't know what you think of him." Hmmm..... well he needs to get some guts then and pursue.... Men, it is there job. I also found out from Adam's Mom that Ryan was his best friend and they got into deep conversations with each other... hmmmm.... new perspective... perhaps I was over hasty in my judgements of Adam.... perhaps I could reconsider him as a future husband...?!??! hmmmm..... after he gets some guts to pursue!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After the fight we went to the horse expo, and even though I sold my car to some twenty year old kid (*sob* He better be good to it), I still managed to spend very little of the money in my check book, and have a lot of fun. So me, my Mom, and Adam's Mom tooled around the horse expo, spent the night in a hotel in the cities, and headed home Sunday morning..... I spent more time with Adam's Mom in the end... and I still like her better :)
