mmm...Cookies..
So I did get around to making cookies. And they are yummy. They are peanut butter oatmeal, some with chocolate chips and some with out. I got the recipe from the Skippy website. I don't eat that kind of peanut butter but they had a recipe. Speaking of that, I don't think I've ever had any other kind of peanut butter than JIF. That is the kind we've always had... I wonder if anyone else out there is like that? Only had one brand of something? Kind of like Kool-aid. I've never had any other kind of drink mix like that.. Yeah so I don't know why blogger flipped the picture on me but either way you can see them. I really do love to bake (really I like to make anything). I like to make cakes too, what I call a "fancy cake" which is just a layer cake (yummy).
I never did get anything accomplished the other day.. Then yesterday I had to go to the dentist (again) and so I didn't do anything but watch baseball. The good news is the Twins are NOT in last place anymore.. whoo hooo! Well, that's all I got, peace out!

Ho- hum Thursday..
Well.. what fun and exciting things do I have to contribute to blog world today?? I guess I'll just start with the crap I can remember.. Last week my boss, who never talks to me, came into my "office" which I call an orffice. Which is a combination of office and orifice.. but anyways. And he wanted to know what I do all day. I left out all the Googling and blog reading/writing. And then he was telling me that we need to "be utilizing the time I am here". And I thought what the hell does that mean. The whole time I'm praying that B/F will not Yahoo! message me so that my computer won't make any noise. Because he surprised me and I didn't really have time to close all my "stuff". The whole thing just pissed me off- because I'm doing exactly what you hired me to do and if you want me to do more things then tell me about it and show me how to do it. That was like Wednesday.

Friday it was hot and it rainy and I heard some loud bangs and it was because there was a pretty large branch in our yard, and it would have landed on my car but I thought it was going to hail and Mom was gone so I put it in the garage and I was so glad. It did however, flattened a garden and 2 tomato plants. The plants are doing pretty well though.. After Mom put them back up and then put some more dirt in there.. So I guess they didn't mind being horizontal.. This isn't the best picture but it shows how big it is at the bottom..

Saturday was the memorial for my aunt. I know that I haven't written anything else about her except for that one post. If you want to read more stuff you can go to my Sister's blog. She has posts about all of it. But the service was lovely. It wasn't all churchy and religious, which was nice. And it was nice to see some of these people who I haven't seen since I was young. After words my uncle, Sister. BIL and Owen came over and then my cousin, his wife and daughter came over and that was nice.
Tuesday my Mom bought a hammock chair, I'm going to take a picture of it and post it tomorrow.. It's pretty cool and we hung it from an old swing set that we painted and hung a wooden swing from. We have a nice fenced in back yard (where the garden is) but it's so weedy and such a pain in the ass that we don't really spend time out there just sitting around.. We did last night though while we were adjusting the swing. See if you've ever had a new hammock, they stretch.. A lot. Because the first time we hung it and I sat in it, my ass was on the ground.. So we've been messing with it to raise it up so that you aren't just sitting on the ground. It was nice last night to just sit out back there and chat, even though it's been so blasted hot here last night wasn't THAT bad.
On the garden front, one of my pea plants has a flower on it, which means a pea is on it's way (yipee) and one of my bean plants, that is a bush variety and I didn't know it, has blossoms and a little bean on it (yippee again) and the rest of the stuff is growing and I'm just waiting. Mom's tomato plants are doing great with lots of fruit.
Sports: Three of my MN Twins went to the All-Star game and they all did good. One even hit the game winning run (whoo hoo). Plus, he won the home run derby!!
That's all I have. Thanks for stopping by!

Results...
So in case anyone really cares, I got over 30 mpg last week in my experiment to see if driving 60 really helps with gas mileage. I'm sure that my test was flawed, because I sometimes drove faster or was on side roads and such- it was still better than what I was used to. So it's not perfect but I'm happy.
In other news (which isn't very exciting), the past month and 1/2 or so I've really been hooked on reading. I used to read a lot when I was younger.. I think I have/had every babysitter club book. But i get in this mood every few years where I just can't get enough.. So for Christmas 2 years ago I wanted the Chronicles of Narnia, and I got it from my sister, one giant book with all 6 in it. I had started it then but then just didn't get into it until a while ago and I read all that in just a few weeks, but after I was done with that it was like "ahhh what else can I read" and so I picked up another book that I got for X- Mas from my Mom. I read 1/2 of it the first night and finished it the next day. Then I started looking on the internet to see what the best selling books were and there is a series by Stephanie Meyer and I bought the first one Twilight on Friday night and I finished that on Sunday. So I bought the second one Sunday night and I'm very close to being done with that one so I've decided to slow down.... Until I can find the third one in the series in paperback. I'm hoping that I'll be able to find it because I'll have to find something else to read. And I feel kind of dumb because this series is Young Adult (I guess I'm a youngish adult) but it's not like a kid book, but they are well written and the language is not kid-ish but it's not overly adult either just normal everyday language.. They are about a girl and vampires and werewolves, I like that kind of crap. I guess it's so much more than that but I don't really feel like getting into all of it.
Well, I'm planning on taking some garden pictures because everything is growing, the weather has been so nice and sunny here and barely and rain that stuff has been really growing (not the grass though)..
And I got an e-mail from the MN Wild asking me if I wanted to partner with someone who has season tickets. I'm really torn about it because it would be so awesome and since it goes through the team I might get some freebies or benefits or something. I'd be happy with just a parking pass.. I'm just worried that it will cost a ton but I don't think it would cost anymore than if I bought the tickets and since they sell out SO fast I might not ever get to go again.. I mean they want to know what price range you'd like and how many tickets /games you want.. I'd rather get in with someone's tickets because then it will be the same seats every time (and the same people around you) which I've learned by getting in on season tickets for the Twins, how nice that is.. So I'm going to think about it a bit and we'll see what happens..

A month..
Well, its been like a month since my last post. And I guess I haven't felt like posting because my post are mostly boring and so I just haven't put it on my list of things to do. Honestly, I haven't been up to much. Working on the garden, watching baseball..hanging out. Last week we went on a mini-vacation. We went to Owatonna and played in the waterpark. Mom took My sister, Owen and I.
My MN Twins have completed 2 sweeps ! Yippee!
My garden is growing, I got kind of a late start on it because of forgetting to get around to it and then because when I did it had been raining for like a week straight.. But it's growing now, and the weather has been awesome.. 70's to 80's with mostly sun. This year we planted a bunch of different things in the garden. Two kinds of beans, sugar snap peas, cucumbers (which I'm excited about) and then Mom planted some carrots, tomatoes and spinach.
I've never grown the sugar snaps (I love them!) but they are growing and I've constructed a cool structure for them to grown on. I'll have to take some pictures of all this stuff.
I've also been working on some craft projects. So I'll have to take pictures of that stuff too. Post are always much better with visuals!
On a sad note, while we were on vacation my aunt was put into the hospital and I guess I don't feel like getting into all the details because this week has just been a daily recount of the events to various family and friends. Not really for me, but for my Mom and then I listen to it. But she is making baby steps everyday. So we are all remaining hopeful and positive.
And I guess that's all I have...

Exactly 2 weeks!
Well, it's been 2 weeks and I'm not sure why.. Maybe nothing to say, maybe just other stuff going on.. Well, I got 2 comments on the blackberry post.. and I'd like to say that the BB is not hard to work.. It's really like a tiny computer. If you can work a computer you can work a BB. And it isn't a phone that I would have bought for myself.. but it's a brand new phone and no sense in wasting it or just letting it sit around.. So I use about 1/10 of the functions it has, but I do like that I can take pictures with it and hook it up to my computer and then I have those pictures. I could probably print them and stuff.
And Kim, Owen is my little sweetheart.. They are gone on vacation and I feel so bored with out him and my sister was telling me that on Monday he was looking for me.. It made me miss him so much. He really is a sweet boy. He has this ability to make me laugh so hard I cry and the past few times he's gotten this look on his face, because he thinks I'm upset, and he'll put his hand on me like "are you OK" and then he realizes that I'm laughing and then he smiles and then I laugh harder.
I guess the only big news is that B/F's sister had her second baby last week.. I got to see him on Saturday and he was so sweet and quiet and just a little nugget. I was only a little scared of him :P
On the sports front my MN Twins have been pulling wins out of their batting helmets.. 2 extra inning wins in 2 nights. And I've been watching the Stanley Cup and I'm really rooting for the Red Wings, I've liked them for years and I like it when they play the Wild and I lie to watch them.
I guess I forgot that this past weekend was a long weekend.. Saturday I didn't do much and then on Sunday B/F went to Sound Set 08 and since it was put on in part by Rhymesayers (local record label that he is on the street team for) he went and ended up going VIP and he also worked in the merch booth. And during all that we had some terrible weather, storms, rain, hail, and tornadoes! And they were pretty close to where we live. But he was all safe downtown. Then on Sunday night (after he'd been there for 8 hours) we went to the after party at First Avenue. And we didn't get home until 2am. The after party was with DJ Z-Trip ( I like him)! Then on Monday it was like catch up day from the night before. But it was fun.
SO I guess that's all I have for now.

Addiction to cans...
Yes, its true! Since I've decided to "collect" cans, I can hardly drive down the road, I think yesterday on my way to and from my sister's I must have seen like 20 of them along the hi-way and on/off ramps. I mean that's almost a whole pound of cans! Plus, I think people who litter suck! That trash gets on the side of the road somehow! I guess I will just have to stick to roads where is it safe to stop and pick shit up off the street.. And you know your an addict when you're thinking of "how/when can I get more _____" or you spend your day thinking of ways to get more. I mean I do have a boring ass job, and I don't have a ton of shit to do so I do have "extra" time to think about this stuff.. SO it's not totally out of the ordinary for me to think of shit in a semi-compulsive manner.. I mean I was just dying to get home yesterday to make a loaf of honey wheat bread (using my Mc'D's honey, which was a pain in the ass!). But to further demonstrate my "addiction" I even made a pretty "Can Count" log! I have each day and the dates and then the total.. So then I will know how many I have!!! Hahaha!! Evil cans! Stupid people who litter!
I died laughing when I saw this shirt... It's almost as great as the "You have died of dysentery" shirt(reference to the old computer game "Oregon Trail"). I just might buy it.. I have no clue what it means. But it's so ridiculous that it's funny! I found it on The Onion .
Well, my MN WILD won in OT last night! Way to go guys! (like they'd read my blog!) They have another game tonight. MN Twins lost (somehow!)
Today the temp is supposed to get up to 70! I should go outside and get a tan.. But anyways, it's almost lunch time, so I'm going to go see what's on the menu! And since I'm an addict (and since I can't type, I just typed as "ASSict") I have to talk about cans again..
Cans picked up on sunday from the street: 5
Cans from work on Monday: 6, plus 1 of my own, plus 1/2 on I found in my sister's yard!
Other days from work I've gotten 4 or 5 (a day) we have a lot of can handlers around here. Wish me luck!

Yeah, I'm still here..
I guess I haven't posted in a long time, I knew it was a while ago but didn't realize that it was on the 1st. I'm trying to think of whats been going on since then.. All kinds of stuff really, but nothing terribly exciting. Last weekend we had a party, well not really a party but just a family get-together. The weather was beautiful so I spent basically all day outside. In the am we bought some new patio furniture because the hail destroyed our other one. This one is black metal, it's pretty cool.
This past weekend B/F and I went ice skating, but they were having one of these E-Cyling events in the parking lot (and across the street) of the place. It's a giant sports complex so the skating rinks are on one end but we still had to wait in the long lines of traffic to get in and out of the place. But it was a fin time. It seems like people just take thier kids and drop them off there and they skate willy-nilly with no supervision and some kid cut me off about 3 times and then the last time he ran right into me and grabbed ahold of him and spun him around and he had this classic look on his face, the "please don't ream me a new one" look and he was all "SORRY!" and I was like yeah, thats the 3rd time you cut me off, he stayed out of our way after that.. Then after that he had to drop off some promotional stuff for the RSE Streetteam. We went to Hot Spot and dropped off a poster, some stickers, flyers and his lemon candies. It was pretty cool because Hot Spot is a local skate shop, and they are very cool to let us put stuff there. I bought a cool hoodie with skulls on it and B/F got a DC shirt. Josh that works there is always really nice and we try to always go on Saturdays, when Josh is there. This time he gave us some stickers and some DC wristbands. SO cool. Thanks Josh, you Rock!
Sunday we watched baseball and hockey. Not the WILD though, they are on tonite. The series is ties 1-1 SO they need to start winning!!!!
The past few weeks have been a repeat of past weeks, nice weather then snow, then nice weather and then more snow. I think that we are done with the snow now, since it might get to 70 sometime this week..
On the bowling front, my team was the 1st place team for the 2nd half, but then we hod the roll-offs (against the 1st place team from the 1st half) and they beat us, but only by 50 pins (which I guess is a lot) they won the 1st and 2nd game but we did win the 3rd. The only thing that sucks is that the banquet is like 20 (maybe more) miles away and I just don't know if I feel like wasting my gas.. Even though thats when you find out all the stuff you've won for the season.. I still have to think about it..
Saturday I bought a bread maker for my Mom, it seams to work pretty well. We've only made one loaf and we didn't have any bread flour.. But the bread was good anyways I'm going to try out the Honey Wheat, however, I wandered around Wally's looking for honey and couldn't find it! Who the hell knows where the honey is? So, me being the resourceful kind of gal that I am, I'm going to use the honey that I have from McDonald's! One time they gave me a bunch and I just threw it in my desk at work.. So that's what I'm using.
As for this week, I think B/F and I are going to be doing more promo stuff and I'm planning on taking Friday off, just to boycott this crap hole! I've been particularly irritated with this place lately. Mainly because people can't show up to work their shifts.
A while back I was talking to a co-worker and he was telling me about selling aluminun cans for $$ and I remember that we used to do that a long time ago but the price of aluminum had gone down so then Mom just started giving them to the church, but now I've decided that I want to collect them and sell them. So everyday I scour the plant for cans. I can count on one guy for at least 2 everyday. And yesterday I saw some down the street and I walked down to get them and I ended up finding 5, I was pretty excited. I've also gotten the B/F into it. I mean all you have to do is save up your cans, how hard is that? Maybe you don't get a ton of $ from it but it's $ you didn't have anyways. So when we get around to selling them I'll let'cha all know how it goes.
As far as crafts I have a few projects that I would like to get done. But we'll see how that goes.
So, GO WILD!!

Yeah, it's been two weeks..
not that I've seen anyone complaining that I haven't updated anything.. Other than "Fred" stopping by to tell me that my blog is boring.. tell me something I didn't already know. Well, sadly to say I don't have much.. B/F and I went to a movie over the weekend, we saw 21. It was pretty good. He hasn't wanted to see a movie in like 6 years, so I figured what the hell. And I neither of us fell asleep or anything! Plus we went when it was $5.
The weather here has been crazy, yesterday it snowed like 6 inches. And today it is going to be in the 40's so its all going to melt. But I bet that we needed the snow for the lakes and rivers and crap. Plus, I thought it was pretty (sorry Mom). I tried to get her to admit that it was pretty last night on the trees and stuff, but she wouldn't admit it. I don't really care what it does anymore. Because it will change in a few weeks and I'll have to bitch about something else :)
Last but not least.. well I have 2 more things. My bowling team only needs to get 1 point this week to win this half of the season. I'm so excited, I've never been on a team that was 1st place at anything..plus I don't even try that hard to do good! So I'm hoping that we win a bunch and not just the one point. Then next week the 2 first place teams (one for each 1/2) will have a roll-off to see which team is "The best". And I guess the fact that my MN Twins are 1-0 is something to note.. And my MN Wild are leading the division is pretty awesome too. Well, I think that's all the time I have right now since I'm the only one working today. Sorry if anyone was expecting something great. Nothing but crap around here....

Ok, I don't know how to put this in...
as a video so you'll all just have to go to the page and watch the clip, very hilarious! I laughed very hard! Well, let's see! I'm glad to know that I am not the only one who hate people who can't say "thanks". Well, B/F and I went skating over the weekend and it pretty fun. The only thing is that there were about 1/2 a million kids there and none of them had a clue that traffic moves in a certain direction. The weather was great last weekend, followed by some March snow, like 4 inches or so at my house. So last night it snowed and then today it's going to be 40 degrees, weird ass weather here in MN. Oh well. Makes life an adventure! I guess I don't really nave anything awesome to post or anything relatively entertaining.. So I hope that ya'll had a nice weekend and I would like to throw in that over the weekend there was no WILD hockey but there was MN Gopher hockey and I don't usually watch college hockey but, I needed my fix but it was pretty awesome. Game 1: They lose at the end of OT #2. Game 2: They win (can't remember if it was reg or OT). Game 3: They win in OT #2. Lots of hockey. And then last night my MN Wild won 3-1. Yippee. And now is my favorite time of the year, because there is baseball and hockey! And some Nascar!

Arghh..
Here is my deal for today. Things that bug me, well things that piss me off..
First off, I'd like to tell you about bowling last night. Like I said my team is in first place. The second and third place teams were tied in points. We bowl three games and each team can win a total of 7 points a night. Two points for winning a game and 1 point for total pins (after 3 games). So we wanted the 2nd and 3rd place teams to split the games because that way they would still be behind us in points. And we wanted to win all the points. Well. we DID win all the points. And the other teams DID split the games. So now we are 4 points ahead of the 2nd place team. All 3 of my games were good. 1st game I had a 148, 2nd game I had a 179 and the 3rd game I had a 122 or 128 or something like that, all above my average! So I was pretty happy when I left the bowling alley. Now onto that pissed me off. When you get to said bowling ally you have to walk up some stairs to get into the place, this mean you have to lug all your shit up the stairs (which I LOVE) and so I thought that I would be nice (my good mood and all) and hold the door for these 2 people who were coming up the stairs so I did, and neither one of them said anything to me, not even a smile or any kind of acknowledgement that I did them a F*$#ing favor. So, me being the person that I am, I said something to them, Like "Oh you're welcome" or "You're welcome for holding the door" I can't really remember. Why is it so damn hard to say thanks?? So just remember next time someone hold the door for you, they are doing YOU a favor and YOU should say something, or you just might get a response... I've done that 1000 times before and sometime, people hear me and turn around and say "Oh, thanks" and they get the death stare in return. There are 2 groups of people that always say thanks, and mean it. Old people, and people pushing wheelchairs. I like those people, they get it!
Moving on..I am now sick, again or still I guess I'm not sure if I ever fully recovered from the first time..lucky me! Well, I'd like to write about my hockey team for a bit. I love them, they are great, but they are playing like shit. And they have to really step it up. Or they will not be division champs, which I'm OK with but it'd be nice if they tried just a little harder. OK, I"m done.
On the flipside of that are the MN TWINS. They are only in spring training right now, but they've been winning the games, and that's cool. The only thing that stinks is that they have all these people that I don't know. I mean this is the time when they try out all of their people, so since I have to listen to the games, most of the time I don't know what team is batting until they say someone's name I know. Oh well.
I think I'm done now, so that I can get some stuff done. Not that I really care, but I should do something while I'm here. Have a great day, and remember tomorrow is Friday...

The big 6-0!
Go me, 60 posts, whoo hoo.. Well. Let's see what kind of mind candy I can come up with today. Probably only coming up with something to call it.. So, I filed a claim for my car- maybe I should try and take some pics of it during lunch. Anyways, why is it that all these companies don't have people that I can easily understand- I'm not talking people from out of the country, I'm talking these people from the south. Fast talkers with an accent.. Bah- talk a little slower- sheesh. I'm from the Midwest, we only talk fast when there is something going on or we gotta go! So I have such a boring life. All I did this weekend was worked, did laundry, and bought more school supplies. But seriously, the deals I found were so good that I had to buy them, I mean I just couldn't pass them up.. I saved a total of $14.42 at Walgreen's, they are so overpriced anyways but seriously- I didn't buy a whole ton of stuff but saved a ton. SO here is what I got. And I thought that I would be done buying stuff, because I do have a whole lot. And I've only spent $41. 
So, Mom wanted her foot in the pic and so I decided that it would be funny. She only has 4 painted nails! But in this picture are: 4 Compasses, 4 protractors (that are flexible, so cool), 4 more packs of pencils, 5 boxes of Crayola markers (that cost 25 cents each), 3 more packs of pens, 6 packs of high lighters, 6 prs of scissors, and 5 packs (15 total) pink pearl erasers (also 25 cents each). There was more stuff that I wanted but they were out of it all because the price was only 1 cent. And why don't they have a cent key on the computer? So, I've got a whole lotta stuff. If I can find the 1 cent stuff, I'd buy a bunch of that too. The kicker is that I went to the store 1 hour and 15 minutes after they opened, there had to be people waiting to get in or something! SO I guess that's really all I have for today. Ohh my MN Twins were awesome yesterday. Santana had 17 strikeouts, that was a new club record! Well, if I can get some pics of my car during lunch I'll be back to post them- Ya'll have a good day now, ya'hear!

* *Lucky number 51* *
Wow, I've posted 51 times already. Why, not write this yesterday on #50 you ask? Well, because I wasn't paying attention yesterday, that's why. What I have for you today is an experience in photo wonder. I hoped over to the Photo Challenge, since I'm a few weeks behind, this week was about some technique called Miksang, and I thought that I would try it out last night but I didn't know what the hell to do, so I heard some cops coming and they were down the street from my house, and I sat on the curb, and was just watching the cops and thinking about what I could take pictures of..Then I thought oh, I could take pictures of the cap lights, that might be cool, but by the time I was done dinking around with the camera settings, they had turned off their lights.. So then I thought I would try taking pictures of cars with a low speed on the camera..Here's what I got.



So, I'm sad to say that I've got only male flowers on my pumpkins. They bloom and then they die right away, those pics that I posted yesterday I took at about 8:30am and by the time I got home from work at 4pm, they were all wilted and deady looking. I had two more this morning, and if they are dead when I get home, I'll know they are male. But I guess this is normal.. I'm just wanting there to be a pumpkin SO bad. In other veggie news, I have some peas..I think there are about 4 or 5, so thats cool. Mom cut some of her lettuce last weekend, but we haven't tried it yet. I don't have any beans yet but I'm hoping they aren't far behind. I waited a little long to start planting so they are all a little behind.
The one in the middle is an ambulance that went past, I got excited because I'd be able to take a picture of it. The other two are just cars that were going past. For some reason I just thought that it was kind of neat. This picture is of Dag, he was out by the street with me, he likes to help with all the various yard tasks (including taking pictures of cars..) so he followed me out there, and we were kind of jogging through the yard and so I took a picture of him, I think it looks weird, because he is sort of focused, but the ground is not, and just a side note, all that brown is the grass in my yard..Because its been so dry and my Mom could care less if the grass grows, then she doesn't have to mow, even though she has recently employed my B/F to do it.

But I'm still hoping to have SO much stuff that I have to sell it on the street. Well, I should get to work since its almost lunch time and I like to have completed something before I go to lunch. I mean I DO have goals for myself, they aren't high, because then I always feel good because I've completed my work goals for the day, then I'm happy :P Have fun ya'll and wish my Twins luck because they've been losing, but I'm going to listen to them anyways. I am a true fan!

Anyone?
Else happy that it's Monday? For some reason, I am? Fever you ask?? Nope, no fever! Just in a good mood today, and hey I'll take it. So let's see..Well, my garden is growing (yippee). I measured the few beans that are coming up and they were both about 2 3/4 inches tall, they looked taller today. And, I bought a new bike this weekend. And here it is!

Its a green Diamondback. I haven't really had a ton of time (or energy) to really get out and ride it, I"m still getting it adjusted to where I like it. But it is nice to have a bike that isn't WAY to small for me.
This is one of my beans. It wasn't all folded up like this when I peeked at them before I left for work. If you've never grown beans, the pole kind, it is so much fun. And the beans are pretty good, better than frozen. I'm hoping the peas do well, I"m most excited about those. And I've started a couple of pumpkin seeds in a dish, just to see if something happens with them.
I did a lot this weekend. I went to a concert on Friday night, then on Saturday we went bike shopping. Then B/F helped me put together the frame for this yard game I'm building. Its called Polish Horseshoes. And then my sister, BIL,and Owen came over and we had steaks and played some ladder ball. I'm sure that Heather will post pics of all the excitement on her blog. Then we went to Home Depot to get some plywood, for the horseshoes. But I'm a tool and got washers that are bigger than what I supposed to get, I need 2.5 inch but I thought I needed 3 in- so maybe I'll take them back- plus the spray paint I bought is crap its really powdery and even comes off of paper- which it should stick to! Then I tried to just relax a bit on Sunday, just did laundry, watched my Twins win and dinked around with my bike and rode it around in the driveway and the yard and stuff. Plus, it was HOT yesterday and I was tired from the other days so my energy was low... Well, I think that's all I have for today, the Photo challenge for this week is close ups, so I have to think of something to take pics of.. So, I hope that everyone has a great day and is in a good mood!
