yesh

good news all around.  gresham, my nephew was admitted to the hospital with rsv and a slight case of phenomena--he now seems to be doing okay but may still be in the hospital for a few days.  they still need our prayers.  my papa(grandpa) was admitted to the hospital this morning.  seems he had low blood pressure and was dehydrated.  at the time he had garbled language.  he seems to be doing better now as well but not sure when he will be released.  

job-wise.  the lady with the 7 month just called me.  she wants to meet on saturday to talk about it.  i'm so excited.  i hope it works out.  i would LOVE it.  and sorry, i know i've said all of this before.  if one of the other places does ever call me back i might be interested in working a couple mornings a week just for the experience.  

that's what's on my mind right now.  just wanted to inform those that would want it.

walkin'

took some dear friends (amanda and westie) the airport this morning butt early.  i woke up at 4:15.  it was the most amazing feeling to walk outside at that time though.  i loved it.  it's just so calm and quiet.  i've since then gotten in a few good naps.  feeling a bit more rested.  

tonight after dinner i wanted to go on a walk.  i had to find someone to go with me though, otherwise i couldn't have gone.  luckily i found someone(emily).  i love to walk outside but i usually can't get anyone to go with me.  it's so much better than the workout room.  it was a beautiful day today.  

sent a check in the mail today for a mac.  it's beau and suzie's 12" powerbook.  yes, i am finally getting a mac.  i'm beyond excited--yet it still seems like it's not happening.  two weeks.  

i'm also house and dog sitting for the magnuson's while they are gone.  i'm not staying there tonight because i have an 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, but i will stay there thurs. and fri. night.  their bed is SO amazing comfortable.  can't wait.  

i filled out an application for LatteLand and took it in today.  It would be such a fun job and i would love to do it.  i just hope they are hiring.  haven't heard anything still about nannying for the baby.  i also, maybe a week or so ago, applied at einstein bros.  that would be a fun job.  and they close early so it would just be a morning/afternoon job.  i just hope something comes up soon.  

nicole and i are about to finish season 3 of the office.  we started from the beginning close to the start of second semester.  we'll start season 4 soon.  

this week seems to be going fast.  kind of a nice feeling.  

also, my nephew had to be admitted to the hospital tonight.  he has been sick for a few days and it's a combination of a few things now.  if you could keep him in your prayers we would love you for that.   

have a good day or night. 

p.s. i love novel length comments.  

milk

i think i need more calcium; that's why i've been feeling like a grandma. i think.  so i'm going to start drinking milk at lunch or dinner and start taking calcium supplements that mom gave me but i forget about.  

here are some phots of the finger.  

haven't heard anything on that job yet.  hope to soon.  went back to work today after 5 days and i had all of their laundry to do.  that was fun. 

markli comes tomorrow and we will have tons of fun.  she's here for pk retreat though so we won't be together all of the time.  i'm making mom's potato soup at amanda and westie's tomorrow night.  it will be delish! 

welp, that's all for tonight.  have a good day/night.

maybe

Rearranged the dorm room yesterday; thus my back has been killing me ever since (tweet from today).  this could be the forth or fifth time this year that we have rearranged.  i think i like it.  the last arrangement was so awesome though.  

maybe found a job tonight.  i sat down by kim and taylor johnson, and reece of course, for dinner and she asked about my job, not knowing that i was looking for something else.  when i told her what was going on she said her sister-in-law was looking for someone.  she has a baby. i think like 6 or 7 months old.  that would be perfect.  it's much closer, in westerfield, and it could possibly be the same pay even though i'd be working a few more hours.  i really hope this works out.  i would LOVE that.  i'm prayin' hard.

that's all.

LOVE

p.s. nicole and i love comments on our posts.  :)

church

i like my coffee pretty strong these days.  sherry and luke will be happy to hear--luke i can't go without creamer yet.  how are you doing with that?

went to central church of the nazarene this morning.  it was okay.  i've only been looking because it seems like i should be involved in the church that i'm going to.  not sure if that's because i've been doing that all my life or if i really should be a part.  if i didn't feel this way i'd be going to jacob's well in the morning and the gathering at night all the time because i really do like them both. any thoughts?

i don't work until wednesday this week so i hope that i'll be able to find this new job this week so i can start maybe by next week.  that's what i'm praying for anyway.  you know i'll keep you updated. :)

goodnight.

soundtrack

sorry, but i'm writing a book tonight.  so here it goes...

slept in today. nice time to just hang out in my room for a while then got ready for the day.  hung out more in my room.  then went to dinner with a few girls.  as i was eating i text bethany a question (she's out of town this weekend).  so she answers my question and asks if i've checked my mail yet today.  so i said i would after dinner.  go and look and i got a card from mom and dad, and an anonymous card.  mom and dad sent me a little money which i'll tell you what i did with later.  so i open this other card and it's one of those cards with this funny cartoon old lady on the front.  i first look to see who it's from.  and it's my roommates boyfriend.  he's a very nice guy and thoughtful.  he has also learned a few things about me because of bethany being my roommate.  like how he picked out this card.  so, on the outside it said, "It's Valentine's Day and my heart's all aflutter!"--inside, "Stupid coffee."  HA!  :) that is very much so ME, as well as the rest of my family.  too much caffeine in our system makes us feel like our hearts are racing.  it's crazy.  so anyways, i head back to the room to look up a few movies i can rent.  i'm off to blockbuster only because redbox didn't have anything i wanted.  pick up two movies and then head to starbucks for a tazo tea latte, vanilla rooibos.  very good.  get back to my room and start the movies.  they were okay but i almost fell asleep in the first one and it wasn't even 10 yet.  then started the second one and it wasn't keeping my interest about 3/4 of the way through so i decided to go work out.  i hadn't gone yet today because the gym was busy earlier.  came back and showered then finished the movie.  the last one had the best soundtrack.  it had me when they started coldplay 3 minutes into it.  but the movies weren't that great.  but that's okay.  it was just a good night to take it easy.  and have coffee after the tea was gone, and of course popcorn.  thanks to mom, i always have popcorn during movies. 

thanks mom and dad for the night that was funded by you.  :)  love you.

checking out another church in the morning.  bright and early. i think the service i want to go to is at 8:30am.  mhm real crazy.  then i might even go to jacob's well since i'll be done early enough.  then tomorrow night is all worship night at the gathering.  need to get to bed.  

thanks for reading my book.  

shesh

i really want to be with family right now.  i just want to hang out.  and i wouldn't mind being there to play with brek and sy; cuddling with gresh.  i miss that.  here just some pictures.  one is a while ago at christmas.  we could just have christmas right now since we didn't have our usual christmas this year.  we need some new family phots.

and here's a recent one of sher, luke, brek, sy, and gresh.

i'm babysitting for my cousin geoff tonight.  i'm pretty excited about that for some reason.  

i'm trying not to worry about this job situation, but i need to find one soon.  

love you mom, sher, markli, beau, luke (family that reads my blogs).

and love my friends, nicole :).

have a great friday night. 

wordle

wordle. it's a combination of all the words i tweet. and the biggest ones are the one's i use most. looked at it just for fun. (if you click on the graphic thing it opens in a new tab and is more clear.)

have to find a new job. i don't have to nanny tomorrow and my hours are getting fewer and fewer. my last week nannying will be at the end of this month unless i find something before then. hope i can find something with similar hours and pay. i've been spoiled with all of my jobs i guess.

started on my third jodi picoult book today. i really like these books.

the weekend seems somewhat uneventful but i'm just fine with that. i'll find things to do as the time comes. there is a show tomorrow night that will be good. and i will be babysitting for my cousin sometime this weekend. i miss babysitting younger kids.

stiff

lately i've been feeling like an old woman.  my joints have been killin' me.  like my ankles and knees hurt to run.  and if i do run it hurts my ankles to walk the next day.  very weird. not sure what the deal is.

school and trying to study and get in a daily workout and sleep oh, and some work is hard to balance sometimes.  didn't have to work today though.  the lady i nanny for likes to inform just a few hours previous to my work time that i am not needed today. i love that.  (not)

exciting news.  guess it was meant for me to go on the FC trip because the balance is being paid off by my home church.  very nice of them.  and i might end up having extra.  i wonder what that means?  

update on finger:  doing well.  still keeping it covered until further notice of family medical friend.  took a little more extra skin off tonight and there seems to be just a very young stage of skin coming along.  so looking good.  CHECK IT OUT!  :)

           

-have a good'n

clue

last night i played the game "clue" for maybe the first time.  and i won.  it was mrs. white in the library with the revolver. 

just went walking with bethany then we decided we needed some good juices/water.  so we went to target with the windows down and some good music playing.  it's so nice today. 

tonight is the show. have to get there early so we can be sure to get in the doors. it's going to be packed.  

 "ramsey fast" is almost over.  seems crazy.  well i mean, just a few days short of two weeks left. 

nice day of relaxation.  going to read.  wish these dorm rooms had decks off the back because i would sit out there all the time.  maybe even sleep out there. 

have a lovely day/night

free

tonight i'm going to first fridays with some friends. it's free.

tomorrow night there is a show that's going to be very good. it's free.

think i might need to go to the chiropractor. not free.

still trying to finish a book from the olathe public library that is due tomorrow. it's free.

drinking DDP right now. it's free.

doing pretty good with this "ramsey fast". hah

finger is doing pretty good. still looks sick when i have to put new gauze and tape on everyday.

thinking about trying another new church sunday. last one was pretty good but pretty mark and theresa style. well, the church they are at now anyways...not so much what they would want their church to be like.

--have a good weekend all

clean

when i go nanny there are usually three different pop options: diet coke, diet dr. pepper, and diet pepsi. i've been going for diet pepsi just because of how simple it looks now. same thing happens in the store. the clean, simple things make me want to buy them. but they're expensive, so i don't.

i want to do yoga.

this week has gone much faster than previous weeks.

the last comment i made about money has stayed with me and i've been thinking lately. we're supposed to be good stewards with our money. i just haven't really seen that much these days and it's sad. there are only few left. i hope that changes. and i don't know why i keep bringing it up or thinking about it. i'm sure there's a reason.

these posts get kinda deep sometimes. don't know how i feel about that. ha

-love my family and friends

daze

just constructed a minor surgery on my blister of a finger.  went well.  bad bandaging job though.  better with practice for sure.  so i called my mom today about it cause she told me to update her on how it was.  so she flips when she sees the phots that i posted on here.  she calls the medical family friend and she prescribes a medicine and instructs me to cut the skin of the blister OFF.  what?! yeah.  i did it.  anddd...the color under where the old skin used to be was like a bright orange/pink/red.  like the color of a grapefruit(the part you eat). it was the craziest thing i ever saw.  i was going to take a picture to keep picture blog going(HA), but didn't have another hand to take it--as i was trying to hurry and cover the thing.

spent the evening with amanda and her sister for a few hours. then just amanda after her sister had to leave. we watched The Prestige.  before we started the movie she asked if i was in the mood to focus on a movie or just wanted to watch something that i didn't have to pay attention to.  HA! i didn't know how to answer that question.  i was like what are you talking about.  and she said well, are you going to pay attention, like are you feeling like a movie tonight?  she knows me sooo well.  she said that at times when i'm not that into something i'm dazing off.  very true.  just so funny that she notices.  usually i'm just busy thinking.  

one thing that bothers me lately is when people spend way to much money and don't save any of their income.  it just kills me.  i guess dad raised me real well because i can't even handle hearing about people who do that.  sorry for complaining.

going to go read a bit before bed.  good day/night.

sick

so on sunday i burnt my finger real bad. it's been a blister ever since.  i've drained it three times now and about 15 mins after i drain it it swells up again.  it's so sick!  like gross and awesome. so i wanted to give you some pictures for those of you haven't yet seen.  sorry if this grosses you out.  

moving on...i looked for jobs today.  might have found one on craigslist.  it's really close and it would be for younger kids for 4 fours a day.  they are, i believe, 13 months and 3 months.  i just hope this ad is still up to date because that would be perfect.  i emailed them so i hope to get a response soon.  

tomorrow i don't have to nanny.  kinda nice for a break, but i hope she has me working other times so i still get a good paycheck for the week.  this week or the next could be my last with that family.  we'll just have to see. 

welp, i think that's it. 

bye
