Ok now really, did you people really expect me to actually blog every day? knowing me its lucky if it happens once a week let alone once a day. Ok, so i had a totally awesome weekend and i got to shoot a shot gun more than once and i actually hit moving targets!! yay me! so i went up to the g-parents place thursday but before i got there i went shopping with kirstyn for about 4 hours. i got to the farm about 6pm thursday had dinner and then grandpa promptly took my car to the shop and started going over it to find everything that was wrong... and apparently there is a little list going. he fixed my tire that had a nail in it, fixed the blinker so the cords arent hanging on the ground any more, rigged up a heater so i can actually start my car in the morning and ordered some axel cups ( i have no idea what those are) and will put them on next time i am up there along with my studs if i dont need them before then. oh ya and he also changed my oil for me so taht was totally awesome in my book.
Ok, so on friday i hung out with roy for a bit, just followed him around as he did whatever it was he was doing... and then Kirstyn, Emily and Amber finally got to the farm. Grandma had some company over for dinner that wanted to meet us kids so we all went over after dinner time and played the piano and sang random songs for a while til they had to go. there was a young girl there (8 yrs old) that could play violen like no other. it was pretty much amazing kirstyn got some videos of it so thats pretty cool.
So lets see, Saturday we all stayed at Roy and Kaylees house, Kaylee made some good breakfast and then Luke came in on the train at 11:30 so sis went to pick him up and Trevor, Roy Kaylee and I decided to go shoot trap as i think they call it. Kirstyn had picked up some shells for trevor when we were shopping on thursday-- Oh and that reminds me of this funny story- ok so on thursday when we were shopping kirstyn said we needed to go to Sheel's a hunting and sport store to pick up some shells for trevor instead of giving him gas money for the trip to mandan. i said okey dokey and off we went. So we get to Sheels and walk in. Im wearing my typical jeans and sweatshirt and sis is wearing her typical fancy clothes. So we go in and find the gun section and are just sorta standing around. now i was all for just finding the shells my self but she thought we should wait for one of the guys standing around to help us (only one actually worked there) after waiting for a bit a little lady walked up and asked the guy for help and he walked off. i got tired of waiting at that point and set off to find the shells myself. kirstyn followed along saying "i cant believe no one offered to help me! I knew i should have worn a pink shirt and heels!!" i said " well you didnt ask for help, its no big deal" she was like " well ive never had to ask b4 usually they all come over to ask if i need help with anything" i rolled my eyes and told her taht she was the vainest girl i know and went and found the shells myself.
ok back to saturday-- we went out to the homestead and set up the trap launcher or whatever its called. basically a metal arm thing attached to a whatcha ma callit all on top of a tire holding it in place. you set the clay thingy in that arm and pull a string and it gets launched and you fire the gun at it.
I got to shoot a shotgun for the first time ever and i think it was like a 12 gauge or something. it was rather large and if u didnt hold it right it rather hurts when you shoot it. I am proud to say that i actually hit about 5 of the clay thingys in the air which is quite amazing if u ask me since i have never tried to hit a moving target before. Kirstyn also used the gun for the first time in her life i believe. I dont think she hit anything but she only shot 3 times so thats ok. Jamin came out and shot for a while with us to, and man hes a really good shot as is Luke as we found out when he got there.
Saturday afternoon we went to Megan Hinke's play in Chester. I think we might have embarrased her at the end when we all hollared GO MEGAN HINKE!! but it was a lot of fun.
Sat night we had a bonfire in roy and kaylees yard. it was cold but it was a lot of fun. we made smores and sang very random songs as they came to mind.
Sunday we went to meeting, or rather we attempted to. R&K left in their car and sis, emily, amber and i piled into kirstyns car but she couldnt find her keys so i said, get in my car the keys are in it. so off we go to my car i turn the key and it goes rrrrr rrrrr rrrrr, the radio had been left on and so my car was dead. back to the sister-mobile. as we get into her car she runs into the house to find her keys and comes back out saying guys i cant find them anywhere. just about then amber pipes up and says oh wait, they're in my pocket, i forgot! so we headed for mtg and surprisingly we werent even noticably late. There was a potluck after mtg so we all got to chat for a while then i had to leave a little early with the g-parents so they could jump my car before i had to leave. i had to allow extra time because it SNOWED. i know its only october and there is snow on the ground, how horrible is that. its really really cold outside but i suppose im gonna have to live. i got back in time for work and i went to work and i came home and i went to sleep and i got up. that is all
Since I am no longer moving every 3-5 months its not really about my moving escapades any more. Now its all about staying in one place ( I know its a crazy concept but it just may work!)

Sure Fire Way...
To get Blisters.
1. Leave the house wearing flip flops for shoes
2. Decide on the spur of the moment to go on a walk
3. Once started on said walk, just decide to keep going until you realize that you have now walked to the river that is about 3 miles from home.
4. Walk around the river for a while until it begins to darken and look like rain
5. Make the decision that "you really should head for home" and begin the 3 mile walk back.
If you have succesfully completed steps 1-5 you should now have at least one blister on each foot from the flip flop strap rubbing for 6 miles.
Yes ladies and gents, i was stupid enough to complete steps 1-5 and yes i do have a couple blisters now not to mention im rather coldish from being in the wind for an hour and a half. It wasnt very smart of me i know but still it was nice to get away from everything for a while.
On the bright side of this weekend, i think i got around 20 hours of sleep. i hadnt really intended to sleep that much but after waking up at 8:30pm friday i had some food and i was sitting with my computer on my lap in bed and i sorta fell asleep again around midnight and didnt really wake up til 7:30 this morning, so all in all i got a lotta sleep. I was going to see if Raquel Petterson wanted to hang out this weekend but she had to study for like 4 tests or something like that so she wasnt able to do anything. Next weekend i am going up to the farm with kirstyn and the steve and julie clan that should be some fun. The week after that im going to go over to Billings and see Brenda and Lance for the weekend because as of this coming week i now have seniority in the wrap dept at work and so i get thursday nights off which is totally awesome so now i can go do stuff pretty much whenever i want. I still havent decided what im going to do for my b-day weekend which is in about 3 weeks i think. im not going to be a teenager any more! can you believe it? its quite mind boggling to me i must say. im actually growing older (i cant say growing up cause i am very definatly still short and i think some would argue that im not getting any more mature either :P) ok im bored with this now and im hungry so ciao

No Pain!!
So for the first time in my life i was actually able to ride a dirtbike without causing myself any pain whatsoever. I was very proud of me i must say. I went up to see grandma and grandpa this last weekend, i called them at 8:30 friday morning and said oh btw im heading up to see you now. they were happy to have the company i think. I went with them to Bob and Marilynn's 40th anniv party over in Fort Benton and ended up seeing Jamin Benjamin whom i havent seen hide nor hair of since i was about 4 ish and since i dont really remember him from then this was basically the first time i have ever seen one of my cousins. I helped Trevor (i dont know what his last name is but he works for Roy) move some of Roy's hay bales around, actually to clarify that i sat in the pickup and listened to music and did a crossword puzzle until it was time to go to the other end of the field and pick Trevor up again, all in all there was basically no effort on my part but it helped him a lot so i suppose its all good.
I just got to thinking that the title i chose really isnt all that accurate. I seem to be in a constant state of pain due to my hip being rather far out of place (a good couple inches at least the doc said) but since i really dont feel like thinking of another title that is the one that is going to stay there. and now it is time for me to go to sleep since i can barely keep my eyes open at the moment and i have to work tonight although wonder of wonders i actually get my 3rd night off this week which is a very rare occurance indeed. i shall spend it going to the chiropractor... again and see if the doc can make the pain go away for more than just 2 hours this time. Cross your fingers for me. :D

So it seems like the fewer people we actually have at work the more we accomplish. how weird is that? We were missing two people in my department last night and yet we managed to get about 37 runs of bread done (each run being about 200-250 loaves of bread) we had a bit of a mess to clean up after we were done but we finished bagging the bread at 6:50 am and we are supposed to be done at seven. needless to say
Sunday night when we had 5 people we only got about half of our list done. Granted there were 65 runs on it but still, you would think that with 5 people you would be able to get more done right? Apparently that is a false assumption because this is not the first time this same thing has happened. only 3 people at work and more work gets done. its a very odd thing if you think about it at least it is to me...
I actually managed to get a thursday night off and i was going to head up to the GF area, but when i called the sis to tell her she said oh ya we are going to convention that week, sorry. i said pthhhhhhhb (how do you spell the sound that comes when u blow ur tongue at someone?) any who i now have a 4 day weekend and not a whole lot to do with it. hopefully my car will get some work done on it ( i need to change the alternator belts on it and there is only like 3 inches of room to do it in.) other than that i really have nothing planned, possibly cleaning my room as it seems to be in dire need of it but other than that probably a whole lot of sleep. if you call it is possible that i will actually answer during the day but dont count on it. Ok, enough of that. it is now time for me to go to bed so that i will actually be able to wake up when on time for work tonight... unlike yesterday when i was a bit late... opps n-gite all!

Title
Well i guess i wont leave it for over a month like i did last time. The new news of today is that there really isnt any new news but of course that wouldnt be new because thats the same new news i gave you last time i wrote. As stephanie was so kind to remind me, during the month btwn the last two posts i did indeed go shopping with kirstyn and while i dont think i actually bought anything we did have fun wandering around trying to find a store that turned out to be in the mall... the lady on the phone sounded like she thought we were totally stupid or something for asking where the store was when we called. Oh well thats just one of the joys of shopping i suppose. As of yesterday... or early this morning- i purchased myself a new computer to replace this old and rather worn out on that i am currently typing on. I think it knows its getting replaced because it has been acting up more than usual today. :) I should get it in about a week and a half or so and the best part is that its going to be BLUE how amazing is that. doesnt everyone wish they could have a blue computer?
Rick and i have ridden his motorcycle around a bit the last couple weeks. pretty soon its going to be to cold to ride it at all. we rode it to the stock car races about a week ago and i almost froze on the way home even though i had on tights, 2 pairs of pants, a t-shirt, sweatshirt and a jacket with gloves. needless to say.
We got to see Uncle Marv and Aunt Sue for a little bit today. they are making the rounds of their grandkids and stopped to see Aiden. This would be swell however on the way to Kay and Todd's last night they hit a deer with Aunt Sue's car and had to spend the night in Big Timber and Kay and Todd had to drive up there to pick them up this morning so they could get a rental car here in Belgrade. We all ended up having lunch together at a pizza place in town so while we didnt get to see them very long we did have a nice meal.
Well thats all for now folks, until next time i hope you all fare well and leave me comments as well.

Forever
To all my adoring fans, it has been to long since last i spoke with you. At least according to mom it has been... I have been working and sleeping a lot the last while although it seems to be more work and less sleep. I managed to get some time off for Boring convention over in OR and that totally made my week, the only down side is that after a week of sleeping nights now i have to go back to sleeping days and its not working very well. ah well thats the price i pay for going to convention and it was definatly worth it. On the work side of things i managed to give my self a bit of a shiner the other day. I was turning a handle on a machine and it popped out and caught me in the eye, it was a bit painful and left me a pretty mark lol i must say i was rather surprised that i actually got a mark off of it but its all gone now. I suppose i should have blogged earlier because i cant remember what all ive done since my last blog, since i have to head for work now im just going to end this now
