I need changes...

Well, hello there.

Sorry this has taken me sooo long to get a post up! Things have been so busy with the holidays & work. I feel like I am going 70 MPH but life is going 100 MPH... I may crash soon.

I dont have much for time so I just wanted to say I'm alive & will get some pictures and a few posts up here within days.

I can't quite put into words the way I have been feeling lately, I don't know if it's because I am working my ass of and not ever seeing any progress or if its just me... being well... me. But I feel on the verge of a breakdown. I need changes... that is a fact.

I know it will get better eventually, I mean when your down as low as you can get there is no where else left to go but up right?

I'll write more later...

Why don't you stay...

Wow, the weekend has come and gone already!
I am feeling the affects of my hard work today, I am exhausted both physically & mentally.
I am hoping that my hard work is recoginzed but likely it will go unnoticed, and unappreciated.
I promised I would get pics up today so HERE THEY ARE! Halloween Bash 2008!
Jarrod got second in the costume contest but he definently should have won. Vicki & I were big pimping 20's style... there were even Chip n' Dale dancers....
ENJOY!

3 Dead In Rural Wright County Car Accident MIDDLEVILLE TOWNSHIP, Minn. (WCCO) ―

Three people are dead after a car accident in Wright County on Tuesday morning. According to authorities, they received a report of a vehicle in a ditch on County Road 7 not far from County Road 35 in Middleville Township at around 11 a.m.

When deputies arrived they first located a Chevrolet Corvette in a ditch with the 22-year-old driver inside. The man, Stephen Dooher, of Waverly, Minn., was transported to Buffalo Hospital, where he is was in fair condition Wednesday morning.

While investigating the scene, deputies found two dead males and one dead female who appeared to be have been ejected from the vehicle. Police have identified the victims as Andrea Northern, 23, of South Haven; Michael Demars, 22, and Derek Kammerer, 22, both of Maple Lake.Wright County authorities believe the vehicle was driving southbound on County Road 7 before it left the road.

The accident remains under investigation by the Wright County Sheriff's Office and the Wright County Medical Examiner's Office.

I want everything to keep my best friend in their thoughts please, she lost her cousin yesterday to a car accident. In fact, please keep everyone who knew someone involved in their thoughts & prayers. Such a sick feeling runs through my body today as I think about all those who are suffering the loss of a loved one, I wish no one would ever have to feel pain like that.

As you keep Vicki, her family & the other victims families in your prayers please keep my sister, her husband Josh and his family in your thoughts as well. They have been dealt some terrible news & have very tough days before them, hopefully they stick together and support each other as a family, leaning on each other for the guidance they need to get through such a trying time.

** good news to lighten the bad day **

My cousin Nicki & her fiance Jeff have set a date to get hitched & if all goes as planned, Jarrod & I are going to road trip out there to watch her say "I do!"


Before the beginning of years
There came to the making of man
Time, with a gift of tears;
Grief, with a glass that ran;
Pleasure, with pain for leaven;
Summer, with flowers that fell;
Remembrance fallen from heaven,
And madness risen from hell;
Strength without hands to smite;
Love that endures for a breath:
Night the shadow of light,
And life, the shadow of death.

weekend update with Jamie....

Boy, I kind of suck at updating this thing, I get a post started and then never finish it! ITS HALLOWEEN WEEK! FINALLY!!!!
Lets see, things have been getting better on the homefront, but I do feel like as soon as things get to point where I am really happy, something happens that drags me down again. I know that I want to be with him, there is no doubt in my mind... I have never doubted it. I just dont know what I need to do different to make it work, to make him happy & me. I am trying though.

The Wild season has FINALLY started, we are 6-0-1 which is fantastic! Jarrod & I have gotten to one game together, I am really excited to bring my dad for his 49th Birthday on the 20th of November but SHHH dont tell him! :)















We had Katee Hall's wedding this last weekend, it was beautiful. Everything was planned so perfectly that my job as her personal attendant was easy easy! She looked amazing, as every bride should and it makes me more anxious for the day that I will be the one in the white gown!

Jarrod and I have had some fun dressing up Rokit... here he is with a sheriff hat and a little rider on his back!
We are gearing up for Halloween around our house, Jarrod is going as Lt. Dangle from Reno 911 and is going to look awesome, he is going to such lengths as to dye his hair, shave his legs and he is going to sport a fake 'stache. I am going with Vicki as a flapper from the Roaring 20's, Vicki has this great silver dress and we are going to curl her hair all up, and put a scarf in her hair. I am wearing just a plan black fringe dress but I am excited to sport a fun blonde wing for the night! These are the first "sneak peak" photos of halloween... and Vicki & Jose (aka me having fun with Jarrod's 'stache.






























Vicki and I had a "Seth and Evan" day a weekend ago and got to run around doing some fun stuff. We played in the woods by my folks and then went shopping for Halloween and to the book store, where I found the book I was looking for!


This photo was taken by Vicki, she is great and I thought it was a fun one to close with.

Broken...



Man, it's been a while since my last post. I have been busy with alterations, Halloween costumes, working at the office & working at the bar.

Jarrod & I had a scare with Rokit (the Min Pin pup) last Friday. Got home late Thursday night and let the dogs outta the kennel, Ernie took off as usual and we usually just let him run around till he comes home. Well Rokit ended up getting off his leash & took off too... he is so fast that is horrible to catch him, almost impossible in fact. So tried for a lil bit to get him but he took off toward the cow pasture so we just figured he would come home in a few hours, like usual.

Well... Jay stayed up till 4:30 am and he still hadn't returned so he laid down for a few hours, I had to work so I went to bed around 2:45. well I woke up at 7:30 and Jarrod said he still wasn't home...

I called the Crossroads Animal Shelter, the Humane Society & Adopt-a-pet in Buffalo in hopes that he had been turned in during the night. Unfortunately there was no sign of him anywhere... she I gave a description & our numbers & crossed my fingers for some response.

About 30 minutes after I called, Jarrod got a call from the Crossroads Animal shelter and Rokit was there, a police officer brought him in, they said he had a few cuts and seemed very timid (which is not like Rokit at all). Once we got him from the shelter we knew right away he needed to be seen, he was not walking on his back legs. Well turns out that he has a broken L7 vertebra in his back.
So the little guy needs lots of love and attention right now, at least a month till he is able to run and more than likely he will always have slight problems when walking.

We owe great thanks to Jen & Adam for taking Ernie for the weekend, it was nice to be able to give all our attention to Rokit! And they must have really worn him out because he spent all Sunday sleeping outside, AMAZING!

What else has happened lately, I got some drunk driver arrested the other day. I was leaving work on Monday night & this blazer came flying behind me. So I slowed down to make sure I didn't get hit... well the guy fly around the side of my car and then up the back entrance hill. So I was going to follow him & call him in for reckless driving... but as I came up the back hill I couldn't see him car... until all of a sudden these lights emerged from the ditch across the road. The guy had come over the hill so fast that he must have jumped the road and hit the ditch.

He backed up and rammed forward a few times (hitting a tree in the process) and then finally flew up the ditch and back onto the road. Well I called 911 and had wright county dispatched out to find him... I continued to follow him as I was on the phone and luckily the guy got a flat tire and had to pull over... making it EASY for the cops to find him. I guess he blew a .15 almost twice the legal limit... after my history I am actually glad to see someone hopefully learn a lesson... drinking and driving just don't mix.

It sucks to be the rat & have to see someone get arrested but I always say to myself... "what if my little sister was driving on the same road as this guy" or my sister and my nephew or my mom... I wouldn't want their lives in danger so it's for the better that he is off the road.

Well back to work.. both jobs today so I am hoping for strength to get me through a long day & hoping for a good attitude to give to my customers.

Take care....

Anyways. Thats all for me today. I will check in later!


-Ciao!



Theres a shadow just behind me.
shrouding every step I take.
Making every promise empty. pointing every finger at me.
Waiting like a stalking butler, who upon the finger rests.
Murder now the path of must we, just because the son has come.
Jesus, wont you fucking whistle.
something but the past and done.
Why cant we not be sober?
I just want to start this over.
Why cant we drink forever?
I just want to start this over.
I am just a worthless liar.
I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you.
trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you.
I will chew it up and leave.
I will work to elevate you, just enough to bring you
down.
Mother mary, wont you whisper.
Something but the past is done.
Why cant we not be sober?
I just want to start this over.
Why cant we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over.
I am just a worthless liar.
I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you.
trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you.
I will chew it up and leave.
Trust me.
trust me.
trust me.
trust me.
trust me.
Why cant we not be sober.
I just want to start things over.
Why cant we sleep forever.
I just want to start this over.
I want what I want...
I want what I want...
I want what I want...
I want what I want...

Just leave the pieces when you go...

So my mind is all over the place today... fights on the home front have left me just a mess today. Not knowing which way is up or down anymore. I actually started this blog on Friday and I am just getting a chance to sit and write. The home front battles have turned into a full on war and I am feeling very defeated. I know this whole blog thing is suppose to be where I tell all about whats going on and maybe someday I will feel confident enough to share everything but I am so turned around right now I will leave it be. Although Vicki's "Leave the Pieces" last night may have been more ironic than I realized.


Traveled to the state fair last night! It was a fun trip... the ride started off with me being a bit shakened up but the day wasnt about me, it was about my best friend and I knew that so I pulled myself together long enough to get her through this expierence. I knew that I need to have my full game on to get her onto that stage, and I am so proud that she did what she did, a year ago that lil shy girl would have been throwing up in the bathroom or perhaps never performed at the county fair to start!


We got down to the fair, took us longer to park than it actually did to drive down there, or so it seemed. We hauled ass through the crowds of people at the fair to get to the state where she was performing. After a few tiresome acts, she finally got to perform! I think I was more nervous than she was... I couldnt sit down. BUT she did awesome, as soon as she got that first word out all my nerves were swept away...
Although she didnt place, everyone was so proud of her and so supportive and now we get to go to Menace on Saturday! lol.

After the show we wondered around with Vicki's cousin John and his buddy, we got some beer, ate a ero (not on a stick) and rode on this skyline thing that took you from one side of the park to another... it was super cool. AND WE GOT TO SEE JOHNNY LANG ON STAGE but only from the damn ride... yup... those are Johnny Lang's lights!




All in all, the state fair expierence went well, we had fun and Vicki got to do something that she would have never done before... I am very proud of her and now I get to move onto the next thing in my life... putting the pieces back together... or do we just leave em...

You're not sure that you love me
But you're not sure enough to let me go.
Baby it aint fair ya know
To just keep me hangin' round,
You say you don't wanna hurt me,
Don't wanna see my tears.
So why are you still standin' here
Just watchin' me drown?
And it's all right yeah I'll be fine
Don't worry bout' this heart of mine,
Just take your love and hit the road,
There's nothing you can do or say
you're gonna break my heart anyway,
So just leave the pieces when you go.

Now you can drag out the heartache,
Baby you could make it quick,
Really get it over with
And just let me move on.
Don't concern yourself
With this mess you left for me,
I can clean it up you see
Just as long as you're gone.

And it's all right yeah
I'll be fine don't worry bout' this heart of mine
Just take your love and hit the road,
There's nothing you can do or say
you're gonna break my heart anyway
So just leave the pieces when you go.

You're not makin' up your mind
It's killin' me and wasting time.
I need so much more than that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

And it's all right yeah
I'll be fine don't worry bout' this heart of mine
Just take your love and hit the road,
There's nothing you can do or say
you're gonna break my heart anyway

So just leave the pieces when you go.
Leave the pieces when you go,
oh yeah, Leave the pieces when you go,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,


Leave the pieces when you go

You go glen coco...

Wow, What a fucken night I had! Things started off fine, I was actually happy to be at work. My regular happy hour guys were there and we had a good time laughing and joking around. Slowed down for a bit between happy hour and karaoke but then it got busy. It was great, I was really happy to see it get like that.

Well it was about 10 or so and I had run to the back to check for Red Bull, my ponytail had fallen out so I hopped into the back bathroom *which very few people even know about* to fix it. That is when I noticed that some immature asshole had decided to take a permanent marker and write shit ALL OVER the bathroom stalls. Like we are back in seventh grade...

To make the "vandalisam" that much better, it was shit about me. Once I figure out how to get photos off this phone I will post em. Just a bunch of bull shit about god knows what.... So pretty much, someone came into my bar... stole my permanent marker... and wrote shit about me on my bathroom walls... way to go asshole!

What pisses me off more then someone saying shit about me, because I consider myself pretty confident and people can say shit about me all the fuck they want... write it on my car, write it in a text message, fucken have some balls and say it to my face... don't waltz your bitch ass into my place of employment and feel great about vandalizing my walls. That is what pisses me off the most, someone had to come in and destroy the place that I work, how does that make me look to my fellow employees, my karaoke dj and my customers. I don't come into your office and write bull shit all over your fucken cubicle. Have a little respect, not just for me and my bar and but for yourself.

Ok, ok enough swearing for me. Today is a new day and I can't dwell on the past. Although, some dicks were doing burnouts and whipping donuts in the parking lot last night and they got picked up. That was kinda funny.

Well, I am going to try and get my phone fixed today so wish me luck.

I'm out

All you've ever needed

Another day another dollar. just wrapping up working at the office and have to seriously change in the bathroom here and go straight to the bar to work karaoke tonight. Hopefully the crowd is good and I can make some well needed money...

On the home front, well not much on the home front... I actually haven't spent much time at home. Which is not a bad thing... just been keeping myself busy.

I am ready to welcome the weekend, that is one thing I know for sure! I have to work Friday night but Saturday night is Rhino at BBGS and I am excited to go and see Kurt, Eric, and Cookie! It will be tons of fun.

Sunday Vicki is competing in the MN State Fair Talent Contest, I am super proud of her and know she will do great. She needs to get over her nerves though... I wish I knew how to help her with this but my way of getting over it is to laugh it off and I don't know that she shares the same lightheartedness. Is that a word? And no its not that she not lighthearted but I brush things off and go with it, she has a different way of dealing with things. Which is what I love about her, she is hard headed and stubborn as shit but she has an amazing personality (if she doesn't pretend to get on the phone when you approach her lol) and she is my best friend. I know she will do great no matter what and I am going to be there every second to cheer her on or if needed, hold her hand and push her ass onto that stage! :0

Well, its off to the bar for me. have a good rest of the day and i will be checking in tomorrow.

ciao.

Clockwork

Nothing of great excitment in my life today, got to chat with my cousin about her and her baby in progress! That was really excited! I can't wait to go and see her and help her get ready for the lil peanut.

Been working on my sister and her girls costumes and dresses and such, that has been a task and a half. Painted for a bit today that kept my attention for about 20 minutes and then I was bored with what I was doing.

Seriously though, life has been boring. quite depressing once you actually write it out, its not hard to think about but its hard to write about!

Thats all for me, night.

Long Gone...

Quick nights sleep last night, laid my head down about 12:45 and the next thing I knew my alarm clock was screaming at me!

I was told yesterday that I was not liked by this man because I was a bartender, a man who I was serving. He was continually asking me... "how did you get here". I told him I drove my car but that was not the answer he was looking for, he meant how did you get to working at the bar.

So, how did I get to where I am today. In a crazy upside down adventure, that what should have been said. To get to where I am now, I have moved... moved from one state to another. Moved from one side of town to another. I worked retail, rode the subway, gave money to a homeless man, stayed up to see the sunrise. Learned how to draft patterns, bought a new car, slept on the couch, cried on the phone, ate a whole bag of chips. Became an auntie, colored with crayons, had a run in with the law and learned many lessons!

So all in all, I feel my ride to getting to where I am may not have been the greatest and I'm probably not where I am suppose to be quite yet, but I'll get there. And I will have MANY more stories to tell when that day comes. For now, all in all, life is good.

My sister has an awesome photoblog you should check out, awesome pictures of my adorable nephew Myles!

Alright, thats all for now.

Ciao.

Joining in...

So, I have decided to join the world of blogging. I have never really been that into it or really had an interest in leaving my feelings out there for the world to read, but I for some reason had a change of heart today. Not that anything special or eventfully has happened in my life that I want to share with the world but I am sure someday, SOMETHING will happen! So, welcome to my blog spot!

I am still looking for a new job, working for my folks is okay for the moment but wouldn't mind doing something different. Something more challenging perhaps.

I am still doing my thing behind the bar at Boonedocks, should be an interesting week without Kenny in town but I wish him all the luck in the world at his pool tourney! Way jealous, have fun in Vegas buddy!

On the home front, the house is a disaster, thats no joke! The dishes have managed to pile up from this last week, which was crazy with VBS, school (the little bit I actually go) and working. The dogs are driving me nuts, Ernie doesn't know how to grow up and still chews on everything, and gets into EVERYTHING!! I really think he needs to go to doggy day care but we cant afford it with both me and Jay being outta a job.

Well, I really don't have much more for tonight. Its getting late and I am tired. I will check in tomorrow if anything exciting happens, highly doubt it but we will see.

Night.
