YAY! I am so excited. I am finally going to be getting an iPod! I have wanted one for like EVER, but I never really had the money to spend on it. Now that I have a job I have loads of extra money so I finally decided that I am going to get one. My Dad is going to use his discover dollars so I can get HALF off!!!! I am going to get a pink iPod mini for only $100 istead of $200! That is so exciting. Also yesterday I went to Best Buy and got 2 new CD's. I got Green Day: American Idiot and No Doubt: The Singles 1992-2003. I love both of those CDs

Yesterday I also found out that one of my wisdom teeth is coming in for the first time. I bet I am going to have to eventually get it pulled because my mouth is very tiny (i had to have 8 teeth pulled to get braces)!

Today I really am doing nothing at all... well I was SUPPOSED to be doing nothing and just having a lazy day, but last minute someone called and asked me to babysit. The good thing is that it is only for 2 hours.

Starting tomorrow I work every day for 5 days in a row.

Thurs. 9-5 (8 hours!)

Fri. 9-4:45 (almost 8 hours!)

Saturday 7:30-4 (8 and a half hours!)

Sunday- 5-8:30 (3.5 hours... thats more like it!)

Monday 2-9:30 (7.5 hours!) This is labor day so i will get time and a half!!! Instead of making 7.75 an hour i will make like 11 an hour.

I am not so happy about working this much in one weekend... especially right before school is starting. I have to work like 34 hours in the next 5 days! I guess its probably just because a lot of people want the holiday weekend off and now I am stuck with all the work!!! But as a reward for working so hard I am going to treat myself to a manicure! lol!

I can't wait to get my iPod!!!!!!!

Just got back from a long day of work. I worked a 7 hour shift today (9-4) which is the longest yet I have worked. I got my first ever 30 min. break today! Holy cows was Food Ave. ever busy today. I could hardly keep up with all that was going on. People even started ordering pizzas when breakfast was hardly over. There were pizzas coming out of the toaster nonstop and i couldn't even keep up with cutting and boxing them between ringing people up.  One of the pans got to the end of the little conveyor belt thingy and after a while it pushed itself over the edge and on to the floor. The result??? One loud cLaNg and a pizza flipped over on the ground. And of course Evan had to leave me all by myself for a half an hour.                                                                                                             YAY! Tomorrow I get my second ever paycheck! And the great thing is it will be much more than it was last time.

Yesterday I got two aweome things in the mail. I got my scoli bands (like livestong, but green with 3 curve things on it) which made me very excited. AND I got my visa check card in the mail! Woot! Now all I am waiting for is my checkbook which will probably come within a week.

I got most of my school clothes shopping done last week. It was great stuff. I got lots of new clothes which are all super cute. I just love getting new clothes. Its just so AWESOME!

Yay... i don't have to work for the entire weekend! I work next on monday!

TTFN! lolz

I just got back from vacation everyone! I had a really great time! My family and I went to Duluth... well we actually stayed in Two Harbors this year! We go to Duluth pretty much every summer so its tradition. This time we rented a cabin in Two Harbors. It was so cool. It had two floors and 3 bedrooms. There was a deck off the back that looked onto Lake Superior. The cabin was right on the shore of the lake so it was really awesome. Some of the places we went included gooseberry falls, grand marais, cascade river, knife river, canal park, two harbors, the butt trail (lol there is this hiking path in two harbors and there are these nasty looking deformed trees that look like they have butts growing off of them) and lots more. The best part is that duluth is only a little over a two hour drive so its not like it takes a really long time to get there.

Today I got to open up a checking account yay!!! I officially have a checkbook now. Right now I only have starters checks though which no stores will accept. I will get the official checks in 1-2 weeks and I will also have a debit card too! I can't wait to write out some check and spend some money LOL!

I went to payless today and got two pairs of shoes. They were buy one get one half off! I got these really awesome sequined mules and a pair of tennis shoes. They are both so cute. I am especially in love with the mules! I am going to sleep with them lol just kidding!!!!

I can't believe I am saying this, but I am excited for school to start. I know the excitement will only last for about a week though and then I will hate it! I still have to read 2 books though before school starts for AP english. Not looking forward to that I have to annotate them too. And the worst part.... they are NON FICTION!!! I hate those! School starts in lets see... 18 days?!?!?! WHAT? OMG I had to count like 3 times!!! I can't believe that!

CoUrTnEy

...Just got a call from Target!!! I have an orientation scheduled for this Friday at 10:00 A.M. At first I thought I wasn't going to be able to make it cuz of a dr. appt, but I got that rescheduled so now I can make the orientation. YAY! Its a good thing, cuz the next one would have been at least another week away. Anyways... the orientation is supposed to last about 4 hours. I am really excited. I can't wait to start working and making money galore. I have to save at least half of it in my savings account though.

I also got a call from Abbott Northwestern about the volunteer position I want there. I have an orientation for that scheduled for Wed. August 10 9:00-12:45. I am so excited for that also. I will probably be working with patient care in the spine center (where I had my surgery). I think that would be really fun

Geez... between volunteer and work I am going to be a very busy girl. (not like I wasn't before w/cheer and all that!)

Well... I guess thats all that I wanted to say!! Pretty exciting isn't it?!?! I still can't believe I am employed!

Right now I am talking to Julie on IM... its great stuff! We also talked last night for a couple of hours. OMG we haven't talked in like forever. So julie... you pretty much made my day. I luv you so much sis! We have to talk more often now!

Last night we had the neighborhood block party. It was ok I guess. All i did was eat and just sat around with my mom. I also got to see Ava (SUCH a cutie), Marc (he kissed me... LOL), Brooke (she's a cutie too), Morgan and Parker. I babysit all of them. It was funny cuz brooke was like "mom... how old am I?" it was so cute the way she said it... Her mom was like "you're 3 and a half."   you just had to be there. haha.. Brooke has the cutest little voice.

My plans for today are pretty much:

• computer
• take dogs for walk (speaking of dogs... nugget is sleeping on the couch right now. Its so cute, he is laying on his back w/his legs sticking straight up in the air! haha)
• read book for AP english

um... yea... once again, another boring day. I am still waiting for target to call about the orientation.... so we'll see about that. I am guessing it will be next Tuesday.

Oh yay... Kayla, Lex and Ali... can't wait for movie tomorrow! its gonna be tyte. Luv u girls!

Wow... I had a pretty boring weekend!!!

Yesterday all I did was staff the nursery at our church. There only ended up being one 3 year old boy in the nursery for the entire church service. Also... I wasn't the only one staffing, Jessica was also staffing. There were two 16 year olds watching one 3 year old boy. It was pretty crazy stuff. Jess and I almost thought no one was going to show up, but then Jack came in at the last second. We had fun playing with little tikes stuff and crashing cars and what not! lol The rest of my sunday I pretty much just spent playing computer and other stuff with little sis!

Other than the job offer for Target, nothing interesting happened at all these last few days.... Just interview, job offer, drug test(for target), cousins, church... blah!  But the job offer pretty much made my entire week. <--- there's 'ditsy' which Ash renamed Rolie Polie Olie! lol! Yay for RPO. There's a party goin on at SK for RPO! lol. I love you girls 

OMG what was that Biscuit?!?! Lol he just did the funniest bark! You should've heard it. lol He cracks me up!

I think I am going to have another non-eventful day today!  But who can complain about sitting around in ur pjs lol!

I bid u all farewell for now... and HAPPY AUGUST!

school starts in 1 months and 5 days. Better start reading for AP english!

BOO!!!! I'm actually here for once! LOL! Let see... I haven't posted since... APRIL 17TH  oh my gosh!!!!!! I didn't think it was THAT long. I really gotta start posting more often.

Well I guess I won't take forever trying to catch you up on everything because it would take a REALLY long time. I have been having a really awesome summer.

Went to Brooklyn NY, on mission trip with Kayla! That was SO awesome. We got to do some sightseeing. We went on a boat tour saw the statue of liberty, Ellis Island, Manhattan, New Jersey and Ground Zero from the boat. We got to go shopping in Manhattan and I purchased my first ever I <3 NYC shirt for only $2! We also saw Time Square it was really awesome. We also went to the brooklyn bridge and coney island. Since we were there over the 4th of July, on the 4th we went to one of the piers to watch fireworks. It was so cool. There were 4 sets of fireworks going off at once. One was above the Statue of Liberty, two were over the Brooklyn Bridge, and the other we couldn't see. I had an awesome time in NY. I helped out in a senior center and at a food shelf. We also picked up trash on the streets and gave free lemonade to people I ablsolutely loved New York!

Hmm... what else exciting.... Went shopping TWICE at arbor lakes on tuesday. Lex and I also went to Kohl's.  Got a bunch of new clothes! YAY! Also went to Valley Fair with Lex, Kayla and Kristin on Wednesday. It was a blast. Kayla and I were the only ones brave enough to go on the new ride "Rip Tide." Kristin chickened out on the water rides. LOL

OOO! This morning I had a job interview at Target! That was really exciting. I also had one at Aeropostale before school was out, but didn't get that job (I was still 15 at the time lol) Anyways... I should find out on monday or early next week if I get the job. I would be working in Food Avenue so if ya ever go to the MG target greatland come see me lol. I am really hoping I get the job because that would be so awesome. Their starting pay is $7.75 an hour.  I'll let y'all know if I get the job.

I know i've said this a million times, but I am REALLY going to try to update this more often.

I guess thats it for now. If I don't update this within a couple of days, YELL AT ME! lol

Yesterday I had my piano competition and played my two songs for the judge I played "In the Mood" and "Norwegian Concerto" I am so excited becuase I played them really well! YAY. I will get to find out my score and everything this coming friday. I can't wait. I also babysat last night which was actually pretty fun.

O and little miss Kelsey... the other day I was thinkin about u in school and realized I miss you like crazy! We have to do something together soon!!! I was thinking about having my b-day party sometime in May so hopefully you could come cuz that would be fun! I still feel so bad that I can never come to your partys! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA *cries like a baby*  and throws tantrum  lol! Hopefully I can see ya soon. We have a lot to catch up on!

I was just talking to Kelsey about how I am not very good at keeping up on my site!!! Kelsey MADE me post!!! Mean girl  JK Kelsey I LUV YOU!!!! (special smiley added just for Kelsey!) lol Ok well anyways.... what happened this week that was interesting....?  I guess the answer to that is NOT MUCH! Going back to school on monday really sucked! I believe I was falling asleep like ALL DAY LONG! And of course all the teachers were like OMG I am so excited to see you so I have to pile HOMEWORK All over you!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am pretty sure that I was doing homework every hour of my life this week. GRR get away from me stupid teachers. No jk you gotta love them (not really, I was just trying to make the teachers feel better! lol)

Friday night I had a performance show for cheerleading at the U of M! It was so fun. There were no judges cuz it was just a performance. We got to leave early too so we actually got home at like 8:30 instead of 10:00. That was great stuff. O... and guess what?!?!?! 31 day until we leave for FLORIDA for nationals!!!! YAY I am so excited. I have to go swimsuit shopping really bad. We are going to be spending one whole day in disney world!!!! I am so excited cuz I have never been on a plane before ... I know very weird!

Speaking of Florida... My uncle and aunt from florida are coming today. I haven't seen them for like 3 years. They are going to be moving back to Minnesota so they are looking for a house. But my cousins aren't coming with them  waa! I can't wait to see them because they are soooo adorable. Especially Maddy. She is almost 5 and she is the cutest girl EVER!! She has blonde curly hair and  she can't say her C's so she says them as T's. She calls me Tourtney! LOL. Maranda is hmmm.... lets see I am guessing 7 or 8. And Taylor is 15. I haven't seen Tay for even longer because she doesn't fly so she never comes to see us! I can't wait until they come!

I guess thats pretty much it for now!

Cya later
