Just Me.

New Journey!

2010-06-22T02:39:00.000-07:00

I was recently accepted into the cosmetology program in Wadena, Minnesota. I am excited i got in and will be able to experience this new journey in my life. One of the down falls to this is that i will have to leave behind great people and great pets too!

(These pictures are in random order [: )

My parents... Even though we do not get along 24/7 i will miss them! I will miss watching shows with my mom every Thursdays and Sundays, i will miss fighting with my dad over a dang dog! One thing I'm not going to miss is doing the dishes and cleaning the floors ... ha ha good luck mom! I hope you guys enjoy having the house all to yourselves for a year, but don't enjoy it to much.... Ill be BACK!! I love you!

These three kidos make me look forward to my Friday nights. I hardly ever make plans for Fridays because they are my DATES! They are fun to be around and make me laugh every time i seen them. If its Quincy's " Last mornin" stories or Beckams " Awe Mans" I'm laughing. I learn something new every week and i enjoy it. Thanks for letting me take care of you every week and teaching me new things. I'm sad ill miss the next year of your lives. I'm going to miss you guys very much.

Dear My Friends, You guys are the best that anyone could ask for. You are always there when someone needs you. I'm glad to have all of you as friends and wouldn't replace you for the world. Stay who you are, don't party to hard and take care of one another!

Casey, my boyfriend of five years! I believe i will miss you the most. You are not only my boyfriend but my best friend, you are always there for me. Even though you don't want me to go you are right by my side backing me up on my decision. I truly am thankful to have you in my life and cant wait to spend many more years with you!

This is my little Daxie Boy. He is my baby, I'm going to miss him very much. I love the fact that he gets so excited when he sees me. He is a little devil but i love him, he makes my day everyday. I'm going to miss you buddy! Be good dint chew up the new couch!

Lilly, Mercedes, Scooby,I'm going to miss them too. They are part of the family so i will miss them dearly.

To everyone else i did not mention, I'm going to miss you all very much too! (:

P.S. I'm going to try and update everyone on how my new journey is going starting in Aug. just as long as i have Internet!

THE END.

Are these believable?

2009-09-08T23:27:00.000-07:00

So my dad sent me this e-mail that had a list of things to do if someone tries to abduct me or whatever.... These are a little weird but would kind of helpful if something like that happened, what do you think? Are all these believable?

Crucial
Because of recent abductions
In daylight hours, refresh yourself
of these things to do
in an emergency situation...
This is for you,
and for you to share
with your wife,
your children,
everyone you know.
After reading these 10 crucial tips.
It never hurts to be careful
in this crazy world we live in.

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do :
The elbow is the strongest point
on your body.
If you are close enough to use it, do!

2.. Learned this from a tourist guide.
If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse,
DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM.
Toss it away from you....
Chances are that he is more interested
in your wallet and/or purse than you,
and he will go for the wallet/purse.
RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car,
kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole
and start waving like crazy..
The driver won't see you, but everybody else will.
This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars
after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit
(doing their chequebook, or making a list, etc.
DON'T DO THIS!)
The predator will be watching you, and this
is the perfect opportunity for him to get in
on the passenger side, put a gun to your head,
and tell you where to go.
AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR ,
LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.. If someone
is in the car
with a gun
to your head
DO NOT DRIVE OFF,
Repeat:
DO NOT DRIVE OFF!
Instead gun the engine
and speed into anything, wrecking the car.
Your Air Bag will save you.
If the person is in the back seat
they will get the worst of it .
As soon as the car crashes
bail out and run.
It is better than having them find your body
in a remote location.

5. A few notes about getting
into your car in a parking lot,
or parking garage:
A.) Be aware:
look around you,
look into your car,
at the passenger side floor ,
and in the back seat
B.) If you are parked next to a big van,
enter your car from the passenger door.
Most serial killers attack their victims
by pulling them into their vans while the women
are attempting to get into their cars.
C.) Look at the car
parked on the driver's side of your vehicle,
and the passenger side... If a male is sitting alone
in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back
into the mall, or work, and get a
guard/policeman to walk you back out.
IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

6. ALWAYS take the elevator
instead of the stairs.
Stairwells are horrible places to be alone
and the perfect crime spot.
This is especially true at NIGHT!)

7. If the predator has a gun
and you are not under his control,
ALWAYS RUN!
The predator will only hit you (a running target)
4 in 100 times; and even then,
it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ.
RUN, Preferably in a zig -zag pattern!

8. As women, we are always trying
to be sympathetic:
STOP
It may get you raped, or killed.
Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking,
well educated man, who ALWAYS played
on the sympathies of unsuspecting women.
He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often
asked 'for help' into his vehicle or with his vehicle,
which is when he abducted his next victim.
9. Another Safety Point:
Someone just told me that her friend heard
a crying baby on her porch the night before last,
and she called the police because it was late
and she thought it was weird.. The police told her
'Whatever you do, DO NOT
open the door..'
The lady then said that it sounded like the baby
had crawled near a window, and she was worried
that it would crawl to the street and get run over.
The policeman said, 'We already have a unit on the way,
whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.'
He told her that they think a serial killer
has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax
women out of their homes thinking that someone
dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it,
but have had several calls by women saying that
they hear baby's cries outside their doors
when they're home alone at night.

10. Water scam!
If you wake up in the middle of the night to hear all your taps outside running or what you think is a busted pipe, DO NOT GO OUT TO INVESTIGATE! These people turn on all your outside taps full ball so that you will go out to investigate and then attack.Stay alert, keep safe, and look out for your neighbours!

The 90's

2009-01-25T23:49:00.000-08:00

Halloween for KIDS!

2008-10-19T13:33:00.000-07:00

Bloody Punch With Floating Hand

This wickedly refreshing party punch, made of sweet apple, cranberry and grape juices and fizzy cola, is sure to chill your guests at your next Halloween bash.

Ingredients
3 cups (500 mL) cranberry juice
1-1/2 cups (250 mL) apple juice
1-1/2 cups (250 mL) grape juice
2 cups (500 mL) caffeine-free cola
1 cup (250 mL) frozen strawberries

Cooking Instructions
In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine the cranberry juice, apple juice and grape juice. Stir, then refrigerate until you're ready to serve. At the last possible moment, add the cola, the strawberries and, of course, the Floating Hand of Death (directions below).

Floating Hand
In a measuring cup or jar, stir a few drops of green food coloring into some water — not too much, just enough to give it a slightly decomposed tint. Pour the greenish water into a disposable rubber glove (the stretchy kind — make sure it's not powder-coated inside) and tie the top securely. Place in the freezer for several hours or overnight. At serving time, peel the glove off the hand and deposit icy hand in chilled punch. Yum.
Servings: Makes about 10 servings.

How kids can helpStir together the punch ingredients.Un-glove the Hand of Death and add to the punch.

Severed Chicken Fingers with Toxic Dip

Served alongside ghastly green dip, these crunchy, potato-chip-coated chicken tenders serve as a spooktacular snack for hungry trick-or-treaters before they head out for some Halloween fun.

Ingredients
1 lb. (500 g) skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 bag (170 g) potato chips — any kind
2 eggs, beaten

Cooking Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
With a sharp knife, cut each breast into 1/2-inch (0.5 cm) thick lengthwise strips. Depending on the size of the chicken breasts, you may get 4 to 6 strips out of each one.
Cut a small slit into the unopened bag of potato chips and, with a rolling pin, crush the chips thoroughly by rolling back and forth over the bag. (The slit is to let the air out of the bag so that it doesn't explode.) Now open the bag but don't dump out the chip crumbs.
Working with one or two chicken strips at a time, dip each one into the beaten egg, then drop into the bag with the potato chip crumbs. Shake to coat thoroughly, then fish out the fingers and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken strips, until they are all coated with crumbled chips.

Place in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes — turning over after 10 minutes — or until fingers are lightly browned and crisp. Remove from baking sheet.
Discard any leftover potato chip crumbs that have been in contact with the raw chicken.

Toxic Dip:
1 cup (250 mL) mayonnaise
3 medium dill (or other) pickles, roughly chopped
3 green onions, roughly chopped
1 tbsp. (15 mL) mustard (Dijon or regular — whichever you like)
2 tsp. (10 mL) sugar
In a blender or food processor, combine all the ingredients. Blend, pulsing on and off, until the dip is mixed but still has a slightly chunky texture.

Serve as a dip for Severed Fingers (or even just with raw veggies).
Servings: Serve with Toxic Green Dip (or any other dip you like — as long as it has a creepy name). Makes about 4 servings (16 to 20 severed fingers).
How kids can help:Crush the potato chips and toss the chicken strips into the crumb mixture.Arrange the fingers around the bowl of toxic dip and decorate the platter.

(This one doesn't sound to good but you never know!)

We were up and out of the house everyday by ten o'clock. I thought it was cool that we went to place we could do here like the beach, Bubble Alley, Different places to eat, This little farm place (they had good corn) and the olive oil place. I'm sure you read Jodie's blog so I'm not gonna go into detail what we did! Thank you for inviting me! I had a blast.

Birthday Party

2008-07-28T19:42:00.000-07:00

So i know I'm a little behind on blogging but i have been lazy! I look at everyone else but don't take the time to do mine! So here go...

My birthday was a success. I couldn't have asked for a better one. I got most of the things i asked for. My friends and Family were there to enjoy the party. I had a blow up slip n slide and a boxing ring! The slip n slide was the life of the party.... well for the big kids aha. The little one didn't seen to want anything to do with it. Quincy, Grace and baby B loved the boxing ring because they could just jump around by themselves. After the party a few friends and i went to get cold stone ice cream and then came back and got into the spa. It was a busy but fun day! Thank everyone for coming.

p.s. sorry the pictures are bad i don't have photo shop! ( that's on my Christmas list!)

Birthday List!

2008-06-15T14:25:00.000-07:00

Prom Night!

2008-05-15T16:48:00.000-07:00

Prom couldn't have been any better. First off on Friday i went to get my nails done. On Saturday i got my hair done then went to Jodie's house so she could do my hair up. Which i loved! Thanks again Jodie it looked amazing and i had a lot of complements. Thanks again Girl! So any ways after Jodie's Meagan and i went home so i could get dressed. Off to Casey's we went to take pictures! The dance was boring until this girl walked in with the same dress as me. aha It was kind of funny because before she walked in there were two other girls that had the same dress but theirs were bright bright blue so we were talking about them and i turn around and there is the girl with my dress on. Casey and Matt thought i would be mad but i thought it was kind of funny! So after that Casey and i went to dinner at the Tillerman... they lost our order but it was still really good! After dinner we drove down the street to see Blue Man! It was fun but it wasn't as good as i thought it was going to be.. if you go hopefully you sit on one of the ends then you might get picked to go on stage...i wanted to but i was in the center. So overall prom was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! i wouldn't have changed it for anything!

Sadies Number 2

2008-02-24T19:39:00.000-08:00

Sadies was a very night. We started the night off by going to Friday's where i got a bug in my drink. The dinner was very good minus the bug. Then we went to the dance to take pictures and check out all the kids that stay and dance. After that we went here to play golf or should i say hockey! There was a few times when us girls hit our dates with the golf balls, so after we took them to get ice cream at Marble Slab to make them feel better. Then to finish the night off we went back to Casey's house to play pool. Sadies was a very fun night i wouldn't change anything about it. Thanks guys!

Brad Paisley

2008-01-27T20:29:00.000-08:00

The Boyfriend and I
The boys! (Austin,Z,Casey)
The Girlfriends!(Cassi and I)

Last night i went to the Brad Paisley concert. It was so much fun there was always something going on... when i say something was always going on i mean something was always going on. There was this drunk guy that took his shirt off and started dancing. People were cheering him on until he decided to take off his belt and throw it and hit some girl in the head. He then got kicked out and didn't get to see Brad. Then when brad came out to sing some random girl got on stage and tried to basically tackle him.... she I'm sure got kicked out too. The night was excited i must say!

Sadies number 1

2008-01-27T20:19:00.000-08:00

So ever year when a dance comes along we get to trash our boyfriends room. Normally there would be confetti on the floor but our moms didn't like that to much so stopped. This year for sadies i decided to do this cute dinosaur poem. His room was cute and simple. I must say I almost got caught by Casey... it was a close call!

The little ones!

2008-01-27T20:06:00.000-08:00

I have been watching these cute little ones for the past few weeks ever Friday and Saturday. Quincy is so smart and funny and Beckam is so random! Quincy the other day was eating cheese with Jodie before she left and Quincy had finished hers first so she went up to Jodie to try to get her. Jodie told her that she already had some, but since Jodie is nice she let her have a bit and after Quincy said " Thanks Jodie!" and walked away!. It was so funny. Beckam on the other hand will be just laying there looking around and when he notices your looking at him he smiles every once in a while or if you say his name his eyes get big. I'm glad i have be able to hang out with these two and watch Handy Mandy or Little Einsteins! Thanks Matt and Jodie

2008-01-13T18:57:00.000-08:00

I know I'm a little late on the date but I was looking at pictures and came across these. It has been two years since Grandpa Bob passed away. I didn't really get the chance to get to know him like the other kids did. My mom was telling me that i was one of the only kids he had seen be born, so i was proud about that! ha ha I think i speak for all of us when i say that we all miss you and wish you were still with us! love you!

snowboarding!

2008-01-09T16:26:00.000-08:00

Snowboarding was a lot of fun! Wait let me take that back, the very first run sucked. Casey took me down the hardest mountain that had rocks! lets just say i went down on my butt! I wanted to kill him. After the first run his brother and Josh helped me, from then on i have been getting better. I was going to put a video on here but my other computer is down right now so ill have to show it to you guys later!

New Years!

2008-01-02T21:06:00.000-08:00

First off I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year! This year i was actually home to celebrate the New Year with my friends! Normally i would be with my family but this year I had the chance to hang out at Casey's house, shoot pool and watched fireworks!
