This weekend has been really fun. I have just put together things to do, trying to call friends who are in town right now, and doing things to restore my energy and recharge. When I called three friends and didn't hear from any of them about hanging out, I didn't stress about it. I knew I had a rough plan of things to do, with a good balance of ( Read more... )

If I could choose one thing that was TOTALLY AWESOME from this past week that I wish would stay the same or continue happening, it would be ( Read more... )

Steffen and some of his friends from Madison started trying to post at least a short update at least once each day for a month, beginning in about mid-May. Although I never announced that I would be trying to do this as well, I have tried to make at least one post a day since then. My attempts to do this have failed because I forgot that Monday ( Read more... )

and now it's too late given that I need to wake up at 7:30 tomorrow morning. I'm exhausted because I had a long day. I got a call from Jerrad's dad this afternoon asking if I would work my usual late night shift tonight instead of last night (yesterday I didn't work with Jerrad at all because it was Memorial Day and I had the day off). At the ( Read more... )

I decided to start listening to the radio one day last week as I took off for work in the car. I didn't have time to pick out a CD from my case before I started driving, so the radio had to suffice for the hour drive between White Bear Lake and Faribault ( Read more... )

I wish I had more time to make a longer post; there's been some things (like the Breaking Benjamin and 3DG concert I went to last week with Steffen) I've wanted to post about, but since coming home, I've been fairly busy. I certainly haven't had to look around for things to do ( Read more... )
