The first day that the CNN.com headlines aren't jacko related, thank god!!! I cant believe the Jackson hoopla is still going on....he's been dead two weeks! Anyway, only one more day of work before vacation, and you could say I'm THRILLED! I'm super excited for our upcoming Vegas vacation, I just hope it pulls through! Lately I feel so ( Read more... )

Soooo it's been a while. A lot has changed. I decided that when I got my iPhone, I would start journaling again, regardless of whether or not anyone reads it. I like to think now I'm a little older, wiser, more worldly, more educated? I am no longer in college, I transferred put of my tiny womans school to the local community college and now have a ( Read more... )

Aloha, sorry it's been so long...not that anyone reads this anyway. Just thought I'd give a quick update...Christopher and I broke up. Jen moved in, Jen moved out...she's a real teacher now and I couldn't be prouder, but I miss her like whoa. Katie moved in, and so did Micah (and his dog Sasha) and I'm loving it. My house is so much more lived ( Read more... )

I know I'm very cynical sometimes, but I want everyone to know that I really do appreciate the good people that are left in the world. Tonight we had the second corned beef dinner for the fire company, and the winner of last week's 50/50 raffle left my sister (who was there fundraising for her trip to Australia) $25. He didn't know her name, and ( Read more... )

I really need to adjust to this paid bi-weekly thing. I have so many plans for this money and it's gone before it's even in my hot little hands (direct deposit=I don't actually have any money!) I feel kind of like I should get my nails done and buy a new car and get some pretty jewelry and a Coach bag, because all the girls at the bank (minus two ( Read more... )

Aldi has let me down for the first time. A word to the cheap (and wise): Papa Sartino's little frozen pizzas are NOTHING like Mama Celeste. They are nasty, even when you pour a third of a bottle of Frank's Red Hot on them ( Read more... )

We went toboggan-ing. We found an 8 foot toboggan in the basement. It is straight up OLD, my dad used it when he was a kid, it's made of wood and leather and rope, and we have awesome hills for going down. We can't even see the woods behind the house, but it was so fun. I, mandie, played in the snow. Voluntarily. Happy Valentine's day!

After watching some episodes of The Hills, because I have nothing else to do with myself on a Saturday night, because I am lazy....I decided I kind of miss drama. I mean, not miss it like I'm going to go create some right now, but I kind of miss having it around. I wasn't often directly involved, but it made things less boring. Now the most ( Read more... )

Ya know that Pedigree adoption commercial? Makes me cry every single time ( Read more... )

SOOOOOOO Tuesday I went to the city with Casey and we saw the Daily Show live and in person and it was AMAZING and I would do it again in a heartbeat. AND Lewis Black ended up being on, which was AWESOME. Other than that, boring week...I want to go shopping really bad but can't until I start receiving paychecks, which will be soon, as I have ( Read more... )
