Yesterday was NK's team challange at the River Center. Because my partner decided she was going to join the military, I didn't get to compete in form. I did have a partner for sparring however, and this is where the story gets good. In women's team sparring, there are two women to a team and the first fight is to five points or 90 seconds, which ( Read more... )

I had a wonderful trip to PA, despite the fact the weather was not as nice as it could have been. Went to DC for a day, saw the new Air and Spack Museum in Dulles with the X-35 (engine removed), and visited the Shanandoah National Forest. But the best of all, Rob got a call for an interview! He will be interviewing next Friday! The interview is of ( Read more... )

Just a few more days to vacation! I leave Friday for PA again! I can't wait. I am going to need some time off after this week, well partial week I guess. Our other receptionist is in Mexico this week and then we have a Veterinary convention in Duluth starting Thursday. We will have very little staff left by the end of the week. Yesterday was ( Read more... )

Why is it that I get all the goofy men who decide they need to call me up and apologize for being an asshole to me during our relationship (Frank), another who is looking for a booty call like nothing has happened(Ryan) and another who says he is alright with what happened and realizes I was right about us(AJ). AJ called me this weekend and it was ( Read more... )

I am going to see the Wild game tonight!!! Thank you Mylissa for the tickets! Row 6 baby! I want to feel those checks!

I was quite the popular person last night. I had about four people call me in a row on my cell last night and subsequently spent most my night on the damn phone. At least one of the calls was good news. My bf calls me up and I could tell he was all excited about something. He just heard from ThermoKing (based here in Minneaplolis) about the ( Read more... )

I have a lot going on in my life. Nothing new I know but things are changing. I have had a lot of big things shoved into my lap unexpectedly and now I am ready to start making some rather big decisions. I have a lot to chew on and still balk at the idea that things have not gone according to my life plan, but I have come to accept it. What does ( Read more... )

The holidays have truely drained me. It was very hard to tear myself out of my bed this morning. Sad to think I need a vacation from the holidays. Not that they were bad. Just busy. In fact I quite enjoyed the holidays meeting family and seeing old friends again. It was great relaxing out on the bf's farm. Or his inheritance as his mom put it. Wake ( Read more... )

My great grandfather had a stroke over a month ago now. He was keeping quite active until then. He was driving, only during the day and short distances. He was caring for people in the nursing home much yonger than him. He was shoveling for widows, also yonger than him. This is a man who retired three times. He could never stop. He valued his ( Read more... )
