Anyone know of a good support group?
I got myself a laptop this week. It's been under my fingertips since Day 1. I have it for the convenience of doing homework and still being social with the family, but also for class. But, it's become my lifeline the past two days. I had my first class this morning (Math), and I was really looking forward to class being over , so I could get to the college of business (I slipped on some douche bag's driveway walking between campuses by the way) and get my laptop out.
I now have my BlackBerry, which keeps me connected at all times when I don't have the laptop plugged in. The desktop which I now use secondary for downloading music and updating the iPod. Oh, yeah, that's something else. My iPod. I can't go through a whole school day without it. The tunes are always in my ear- from driving to class, walking to class, waiting for class to start, in between classes. It's crazy. I let Ryan borrow it to take skiing, and I went almost 2 whole days without it, and I felt naked. Good thing it was the weekend. And, now I have my laptop. I truly am blessed. I don't know how the Amish do it, honestly!
Does anyone else besides Jessie have this problem? Would you like to set up a weekly session so we can discuss our issues and try to get over this addiction? On second thought, nah! Life's fun with technology!
On another note, I started running again yesterday. I went two and a half miles, non stop. Felt so good, even though my lungs were frozen. My knees hurt a little today, but no pain, no gain!
We're supposed to get another 4-6" of snow tonight. Ergghh. Tisha, are you guys getting hammered with all of this? No school?

Wondering....
It's nights like tonight that made me wonder how Cabela's is Michigan's #1 tourist attraction. We were so dead!!!!

It's Tuesday, and we have a new Prez
Well, thank God that son of a Bush is gone!
First, let's recap. The weekend went really well. Sunday night I worked overnight inventory. 6 pm til 6 am. Wasn't too bad actually. Then came some sleep for about 4 hours. JP called and asked for a favor...if I'd work for him closing that night so he could get his car fixed. I said yup. It seems like I should change my address to 1 W. Cabela's Blvd!!
This morning I decided that how good my commute goes determines how my day will go. I had an awesome commute this morning to school. No problems at all, good music, time to think. First two classes went great. Then I headed to the Student Center to watch the inauguration on TV. I just thought they had it on the TV in the lobby. Nope, leave it to me to sniff out a good party. Upstairs in the Grand Ballroom, they were having a bash hosted by WJLB with it showing on 3 projection screens and free cookies and stuff! I just stayed and skipped my econ class. It was awesome to be in the atmosphere of so much excitement of the change we see coming. Had a good time talking to different people and watching history on the big screens.
Then I went to my accounting class. The teacher is so boring. I sat against the wall. It was warm. I leaned my head against the wall and I guess fell asleep. I woke up and my phone was flashing with a text from Lindsay. She sent it at 2:42 and I woke up at 3:05. Slept most of the class! It's so easy though- like high school accounting!!
On another note. Lindsay had an interview a couple months ago with Teach America. It's a service organization where you go into inner-city schools around the country where teachers are hard to attract. She's really been hoping it goes well and nervous about it. She was supposed to find out today. She did- she's going to Phoenix next year to teach special ed elementary school. Very happy for her and excited because she's so happy. Not exactly thrilled that she's leaving for a little while, but hey, one day at a time! Was gonna post a blog asking for prayers, but I was late! She's prayed hard for it and feels that this is a sign her will is in line with God's. She'll be great at it and it's where her heart is.
Anywho, off to bed! Pretty tired! Hope all is well for everyone!
God bless America.

Irony?!
GO FIGURE!!
The day after I buy my first plane ticket, a plane hits a flock of geese (that I hunt) and lands in a frickin river!!
It's 56 in Florida right now! That would be so much better than -9! I really don't mind cold weather, but I hate arctic weather!
I went out this morning to start my car to make sure it would start before I go to work. Well, it started! But my heat is frozen! It's in the garage right now to thaw, but the bad news is there's no garage at work to park in! I'm really contemplating calling in. But, I work with JP tonight, so I wanna go in. That wouldn't be cool to leave him hanging like that!
Ok, should work on some homework before work. Nahhhhh....there'll be time for that later!

Ohhhhhhhh boy!
Well, it's so cold here.
So, I got home from work and booked a flight to Florida for spring break. I've not been down to see Matt in the three years he's been there. It's my turn to go see him!
I've never ever flown before either. I'm going all by myself, so I'm a little shaken by that! I can't wait.....
One week 2/23 thru 3/1!!

Nope...not a broken bone!!
Me and Ryan went skiing and snowboarding today at Mt. Holly. WOW, was it fun!! I think I was flat on my butt more than I was up on my board. My butt hurts, my shoulders hurt, my arms feel like they weigh 1,000,000 lbs, my legs hurt. But, we had so much fun it was all worth it! God bless Ryan for being so patient with me. I even made it down a couple black diamond slopes! The roads were awful on the way home, at one point we were sideways on 23 almost hit a mini-van. Mad props to my boy for keeping the truck on the E-way!! I'm going to bed.......
(Man, I look like Mike in this pic!)

I ♥ snow!
They're calling for 8-10" of snow for our area today and tomorrow. Well, we were going to goose hunt. But nowme and Ryan are going to hit the slopes at Mt. Holly tomorrow and ski and snowboard! I'M READY!!!I have a favor to ask of you....
My buddy J.P.'s fiance found out that her grandpa was diagnosed with throat and stomach cancer yesterday. With that being said, will you say a prayer?
8-10" of snow tonight into tomorrow :)

I heart snow, but.....
Thursday, January 8. The second day of classes. I now know where I'm going, where to park, how to manage my time and commutes. However, the drive this morning absolutely SUCKED! (Notice the capital letters- that means I mean business!).
Monroe County was fine. Once I hit Flat Rock on 275, speeds dropped to 50 mph tops. Cars were in the ditches. State police lights lit up my morning more than the sunrise. It got even better. Past the airport, speeds dropped to 40 mph tops, mostly around 30-35. My normal 20 minute drive took 55 minutes this morning. I made it to class just in time and got the seat in the back row I like! Good thing I left a little early!
I know people are wondering who the girl is in the post from Tuesday. But, I'm not going to say too much at this point. I will just tell you her name is Lindsay and we have gone out a couple times. As time goes on, I will tell more. But for now, just taking it day by day!
Went hunting yesterday morning with Ryan. Not a darn thing was flying, other than the lone duck flying up the river. Stayed out for a bit, came home, relaxed. Then went to scout a spot in Erie and met Mike, Jess, & Tay in Toledo for dinner at Texas Roadhouse and man was it good! Made a few stops after that and came home and chilled, and did go to bed pretty early.
I'm hungry.
I thought about leaving to go up north tonight after class. But, Lindsay goes back to school (Michigan State) Sunday and I'd really like to hang out with her some before she goes back. I also made plans with JP and Ryan to hunt Saturday. Hours are slow at work right now, I'm planning on heading north in 2 weeks. Gotta put in for that off work now!
Hope that fills you in a little. Have a good day y'all!

Good News!
I am back in camo! Although it's only because the old man in our department fell off a ladder and broke a few ribs before Christmas, now he's off til AT LEAST Jan. 31st. Worked out good because my school schedule was different than everyone else's, so I was the only one available on days she needed! Nonetheless, I'm back in my home :)

It's Tuesday. I don't think I'm going to like Tuesdays.
Well, it's 5:30 AM...AKA- the butt crack of dawn. Nope, not even- it's pitch black out still.
If I were up right now to go hunting, the blood would be flowing, I'd be pumped. But nope, I am up early to get my butt to class! Not sure where I'm even going because my first class is on main campus- and it's my first class ever on main campus! And, my 8 AM class is a math class. HA! My brain isn't functioning enough to do 2 + 2, let alone trying to do some algebra!
If you got to sleep in today, well good for you *sarcasm.* If you're up early with me, cheeers to this *again, sarcasm!*

Pointless
I am only up this early to go hunting.
But I went to bed at 10 last night and didn't fall asleep til after 1 a.m. last night. Now I am up at 4:30 a.m. These nights frustrate me because the only reason I can't sleep is because my mind is racing, thinking about stuff that does me no good to think about. The past is the past, the future is up to me and depends on me, how how hard I work at it will determine the course.
"So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't and believe that everything happens for a reason."
"Don't be afraid to go out on a limb. That's where the fruit is."
"Fear not for the future, weep not for the past."
"Worry gives a small thing a big shadow."

YES....my new year's resolution
Life is grand, no complaints. Well a couple girl problems, but it's getting better :)
Happy New Year to everyone. I hope you are abundantly blessed this year. New Year's Resolutions are a pretty dumb idea, but yet, I make one every year. I have a couple for 2009:
1. Shoot more ducks and geese than 2008. So far, no luck. Thanks old man winter, our spot this morning was all froze over and nothing flew in! Hopefully tomorrow will be better. I have a feeling it will be, but I've had this feeling before, and it ends up being really bad gas!
2. Update my blog more frequently. It only takes a second, shouldn't be so hard. I can also do it from my Blackberry phone.
3. Save more money. I think I have this one every year!
4. Straight A's and B's in the winter and fall semester.
5. Get the girl problems figured out!
Those are mine. What are yours?
