Here we go...

Okay one last post before I take off, I may be late but due to the last comment I got I thought that I needed to include this little story before I left for Nebraska.

Once apon last Friday morning, the NorthernPrincess called her Bestfrienda #2 to chat. BestFrienda #2 and the NorthernPrincess had a fantastic chat about life and our common love of StarBucks. As the NorthernPrincess was driving to the magical StarBucks store, BestFrienda #2 said, "I just love their Green Tea Frappaccino(sp), so much in fact that I would probably marry and have sex with said Green Tea Frappaccino(sp)."
The NorthernPrincess replied, " Yeah well, I love their Breakfast Blend so much that I would marry and/or have sex with it. So there."
BestFrienda #2 and NorthernPrincess laughed and laughed until the NorthernPrincess had to enter the magical StarBucks store where then in an instant, everything was perfect, happy, and the NorthernPrincess could see more clearly.

That is my last story for the weekend, I hope you all enjoy! See you if a can, if not I still love you!

On the road again...

Greeting and Salutations....
Well friends I am coming home. I am leaving tomorrow morning and should be in Hastings by 6p so if anyone wants to see me give me a call. I didn't get to go out last night :( and so far James hasn't called me so it looks like I'm not going out tonight either. Sad... I am cleaning my apartment though so at least I am keeping myself busy. I got Jezi-Bell Marie some cat nip and she doesn't like it but she did have the courtesy to spill it all over the floor for me, so now I have to vacuum again. Crazy cat. I hope she does as well on the trip home as she did on the trip up here, that would be nice. Anyway, I need to get back to work in case I do get and invite to go out. Talk again soon.

Thoughts of the day....

I have seen 33 lakes since I have been here.

Is this a good idea?

I have a headache that won't go away, I wonder if it is from the cat nip...

oh yeah if I dont post for awhile its cause I am at home. I will post again when I get back...

A good day...

Hello my friends from home. Today is a good day because I figured out how to post pictures on my blog, I hope you all are enjoying it. Yesterday was rough, but today is better. I thank anyone who listened to me in my time of need and to the others you are lucky you didn't have to talk to me cause I was a mess, but everything is better now. I am so excited that I got my cable and phone and net hooked up so now I have something to do, although I am still bored. Tonight I am going to go and sing some kareoke with my two friends, James and Jess, hopefully I can get some pictures to show you all. The post office has been located and I have had my first appearance at the local Family dollar, what to do now??? I wish there was more going on around here but there isn't so I think that is all I am going to say today. Much love to all...

thoughts of the day...

I am a snatch most of the time, especially to the people I love...

I really want to come home but know that it is a bad idea...

I hope that I don't kick everyone's butt a kareoke so that they don't want to sing with me anymore...

Where is my cat...

A long hard day of moving...

After a long 8 and a half hour drive, we made it and the first thing that Kath does is open a beer and say "Welcome to your new home daughter..." Well not really, this picture was taken the next morning as mom was unloading my groceries, but still it was kinda like that.

We made it

My first look at my new state of residence...

Meow

Jezi-Bell Marie on the car ride here, she did so well...

Rain, Rain go away...

Hiya everyone, welcome to Saturday. I wish that I were doing something cool right now but really I am just recovering from last night. Fun times in Krisitins new apartment. I wish that my BestFrienda would have called me back last night or this morning or sometime cause I am in CRISIS no joke, BestFrienda I need you to call me asap! It is raining out and crazy stormy so my idea of leaving here early today is not going to happen cause that last thing that I need to deal with is rain in the cities and me driving. We don't have much more to move today until KristinFriends mom gets here which will be later this evening. I hope that it isn't out of control heavy stuff cause I am tired and my hands hurt, I think that I am getting caluses (sp) from all of this moving stuff.

KristinFriends Piggy is running around it is so cute, that chubby little monster, I love him.

Well I am going to head off now and get something to drink. I need water, parched, feel like I am in the desert...

Thoughts of the day....

Ugh, who is Toby Tyler and why did I talk to him all night last night...

I am really tired, why am I awake...

My bestfreinda doesn't care about my crisis...What should I do now?

I think that I am going to steal piggers from KristinFriend, will Rev. Jezi-Bell Marie Bauer-Manning, Phd get along with the piggers?

I've only been gone for a week, why is everything changing so much so fast....

Do people really read my blog??

Ugh...Moving

Okay so I have been an official Minnesota resident for exactly one week now and I wish that I could say that I love it. I do kinda, IM lonely and bored most of the time but hopefully that will all pick up soon. This weekend I decided that I would be a kind soul and help KristinFriend move. Why, I am not sure, I just know that moving sucks and no one should do it alone. So I drove myself into the cities and luckily did not get lost nor did I get into any accidents or almost accidents, IM so proud. Well, we have been moving ALL DAY I am not kidding since like 930 this morning and it is still not done yet, funny thing though, KristinFriend doesn't have any furniture so you all put that one together, we are tired and sweaty and smell funny, well KristinFriend does, I have already showered. But everything is going okay. Unfortunately seeing someone I know makes me miss home even more :( But I will survive and all will be well. I am going to go now and watch some T.V. or get something for dinner or whatever. Peace out have a fantastic weekend all!

Thoughts of the day thus far...

Why does everyone read my blog yet no one posts on my blog...

How soon is too soon to come home?

Why the hell is Minnesota hotter then Nebraska? I think that someone is punishing me for leaving home....

Did I remember to lock my door in Mankato?

I'm Hungry....

Okay so it is like 3 in the afternoon and I haven't eaten yet cause I just got out of bed cause I was reading all morning. I finished three books in the last 12 hours, fun huh. Unfortunately none of them were that good but I do have a couple of prospects for next year as prose. Yeah, that is what I spend my day doing. Looking at lit. Lunch yesterday was fantastic. I loved it. It was nice to get out and come some human contact. I am heading up to St. Paul tonight to chill with KristinFriend so that will a good time. I was told very sternly by BestFreinda that I have to take my crutches along, just in case. I laughed but probably will take them . Okay so there is like children's story hour here at the library and it is really creepy. Cause there is this old woman singing and make scary noises and such. If I were I child I would run away. I may have to neglect my blog for the next few days cause I will be out of town, but on Monday I get my net hooked up at home so then I can post pictures! Yea. Okay, so I need to go and wash my dishes and pack so that I can leave as soon as KristinFriend calls. Love you all, have a great weekend.

Thoughts of the day...

I need a new hobby....

Late night callers dont help me fall asleep they just keep me up later....

Should i have grilled cheese or a ham sandwich for lunch??? i need to go buy bread...hmmm

Today is a new day

Greetings again from the Northland! Today is much better then yesterday. I actually had human contact other then that of the gas station attendant. I went to lunch with one of the other TA's and the ADOF here. It was fantastic. We gossiped, chatted, got fair warning of things and learned that I am the favorite new TA thus far. I win the game. Hopefully going out to the bars tonight as long as Jess calls me. I really really hope she does. I am going up to the cities tomorrow night so that will be good to see KristinFriend and feel some familiarity.

YEA.... I started unpacking my room! I can actually find stuff kinda. It is a process. I figure I will have it all done by the time and the other TA's get here and the fun start.

BTW it is really really friggin hot here. Like hotter then Nebraska. I am not kidding. I thought the northland would be better but oh boy was I wrong.

Good News newBoss told me where the post office is here in detail so I am going to go and tackle that once my hour of internet is done. Unfortunately once I find the post office I will have nothing left to search for. So I will have to find something else to fill me days wondering about. I guess I could find a place to go and get my haircut but I don't know if I am ready for that yet. Although if you all saw my eyebrows you would rush me to the nearest waxing place. I was thinking that if I avoid waxing my eyebrows maybe I will start to look like a true northerner and wont be so out of place, but then again I don't think that I could ever do that to myself.

Other good news I have avoided a horrible accent thus far. It is kinda there but not totally yet. I think that once I start hanging out with people other then the cat and the lady at the gas station then it may come about not not yet. So that is good. Although if I don't wax my eyebrows and I have the accent I will truly be a northerner.....hmm will think that through later.

Anyways, I will let all of my loyal readers get back to what you were doing before you thought I would write something interesting and decided to check my blog. Sorry for the disappointment I don't have any friends yet. But I promise that once I find one, this thing will be much more interesting.

Thoughts of the day....
Why did those that came here before me screw up so that now I have to watch out

Forensics for purely educational value, what am I getting myself into

Damn I am pretty...

HoHum

Second day in the northland and I am really bored. I still can't find the post office but I did do laundry today, that was fun. I spent most of the afternoon sleeping and watching T.V., I wish I could say that I enjoyed it but really I didn't cause all I kept thinking about is, "Why if I don't have my cable hooked up am I getting WGN, TBS, WB and CSPAN?" this pondering took up much of my afternoon... So as you may guess I didn't get much else done. In fact I was so busy pondering this phenomenon that I didn't even get down here(to the library) to check my email until 6pm and happened to miss two invitations for lunch. Too bad I had some honey puffed wheat for lunch...It was good. GOOD NEWS I am getting my real cable and phone and internet hooked up on Monday so then I can post my pictures and add the Top 10 from the drive. Trust me it will still be funny even if it is a week late. I am going up to St. Paul on Thursday to see KristenFreind and help her move so that will give me something to do. Other then that I am just chillin' with Jezibell and avoiding unpacking my room. Well I only have 10 min left of internet time here at the Library and I need to answer some emails so until next time.... Enjoy the south.

Oh yeah, and today I tested my Spanish reading abilities by watching the St. Peter network in Spanish. All I could decipher was that there was story time at the library on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. But I will keep trying and keep you updated.

And Here I am...

After a frustrating and stressful drive to St. Peter, Kath,Mrn,Bestfrienda and I arrived unharmed but with a few run ins, to an apartment with no air conditioning when the temp. outside was a fantastic 98 degrees with the humidity at like 70% in other words it was DAMN hot! Luckily, Kath grouched out new Landlord so we got and airconditioner for free, thanks Kath. It was a long, weekend but now I have a home and I am comfortable there and so is Jezi-Bell (she did so good on the drive here, I am so proud of her). I will write more later when I get my internet hooked up, the St. Peter Public Library lady is looking at me funny and this keyboard sucks so I will hopefully have pictures and a top 10 list from the drive on my next post. Thanks to everyone for supporting me and making this move as easy as possible, I miss you already but I know that I have all the support in the world and I will be okay.

Good Bye Hastings, Hello Northland

Okay so last night was the going away party and have learned that it is time for me to go away. For anyone involved in any of the drama last night, I am sorry. However, I still love all of you. I am just a little hurt right now. I am leaving tomorrow and I am so scared that I cry every time I think about it, so I am packing my stuff in this sort of disconnected manner and I am sure that I am not making a whole lot of sense to anyone that I have talked to today. I guess I am finding a problem in saying good-bye to the only thing that I have known as my home and life and my friends. This hurts and it sucks, and I need some serious coffee....

3 days and freaking out....

Okay so I was supposed to get a ton of stuff done last night, but instead didn't get off work on time and then was so exhausted from my 11 hour day that I took a nap and instead of a nap I slept for like 3 hours and didn't get anything done. Well I did get a box of glasses and cups packed but the tape that I got sucks and wouldn't keep the box closed so now I have glasses in a box but it is not closed and it makes me a little angry. On top of that the U-Haul people screwed up big time and now I have to ask BestFrienda to take to me GI and back and to work and pick me up and all that crap, AND I have friends coming from out of town AND I am sick(thanks Nebraska). So I really want to take a nap but I have to sit here in the sweltering heat and look at other peoples mail and whine and cry about it cause I am sick and I cant find anyone to come and work with me. So I am now going to continue to bother the Bus.Off.Ladies cause I want to and there is nothing else to do around here except be hot.

Four Days Left

After a long and fairly painless weekend, I have finally made it to Monday, the worse day of the week. I am down to four days left and still don't have anything done, well I do have a box of shoes to give to goodwill, so I guess that's something. I had Friday and Saturday off and still didn't get anything done, damn my friends from out of town coming in unexpectedly. Saturday I had a lunch date and that kinda of just killed my energy to do anything else, it was a good date :). Sunday had the going away party with my fam, luckily no tears, but it was a difficult day, mostly because on Saturday night BestFrienda and I thought it would be a good idea to drink A LOT and not go to sleep until about 5am. I think that I will still drunk for half the day yesterday. Now sitting at work at the HC is painfully hot and going to be boring, nothing like sorting other peoples mail to make you feel like a worthwhile human being, but I guess its money and no one can complain about that. So ta ta for now, check ya'll later.

Here we go!

Okay, so I must admit that I have been one that thinks that blogs are a little ridiculous, but since I am moving and I read the WelshGoddess' blog all the time, I thought that I should try this out. I must admit that I already like the idea. Anyways, that is all I have for my first blog post. I hope that anyone who actually reads this will find it informational, enjoyable, and a little fun.
Peace Out, and only 7 days till I move.
