Skinless Dogs

Oh, Kristen! How you amuse me!! *giggles*

Anyway, I'm going on a blind date on Saturday. Yeah. So not excited. I hate dates.

Last Friday, Sherry (who works in the other office) called me and said that her nephew (her husband's sister's son) was over to her house a couple of weeks ago and as they were talking, she thought that he and I would go well together. So, she then talked about it to everyone (except Jeremy) in the other office, and Tammy (who also works over there) said that her and her husband, Jason, had already that same conversation. This guy, Brad, and Tammy's husband, Jason, are really good friends.

So, Sherry emailed Brad and told him that she had this idea and wanted to know if he'd be interested in a blind date. He emailed her back and said that'd be fine, as long as I knew about it. So, she gave him my phone number.

Then, on Sunday (unbeknownst to me) Brad called Tammy and Jason to find out about me before he called me. Tammy said that he had left them a message because they were gone all day, but he had apparently tried to call them about 6 times.....I don't know if that's a compliment or if I should be scared. Anyway...

He called me on Monday night, but I had my cell phone off and didn't get the message until Tuesday, so I called him back and he called me on Wednesday night. We are actually going to be going on a big old group date because Kris is quitting (her last day was yesterday) so we're having a going away party for her on Saturday. So, Brad pretty much invited himself along (which I thought was bold, but Tammy had already told him it was o.k., but I didn't know that at the time. Whatever.)

So, It should be interesting. After he offered to pick me up, we started talking about something else and I said, "Well, don't you want to know where I live?" To which he replied, "I already know where you live." (He said this before I talked to Tammy and knew all of what she'd told him....which obviously was everything down to where I live.)

I'm not excited, but Sherry, Tammy and Tara (who also works in the other office and graduated with him from H.S.) say that they can see us together. I don't know if that's pressure or reassuring. I guess we'll see!!

Now I have to go buy a nice outfit or something. Dang it!

A funny thing happened....

I can't believe that I forgot to tell you guys about this!!!! So unbelieveably weird.

Saturday morning I had an eye doctor appointment (my birthday present...I'm so weird), and I was gone all morning with my mom and Kayla. Then, when we got home, I had a message on my mailbox for our home machine. Guess who it was? JEFF.

It said, "Hey Krista, this is Jeff. Just wondering what you were up to. Talk to you later, bye!"

I was mortified. I had broken up with him once, I didn't want to have to let him down again and be like, "you're pathetic, get out of my life!!!" So I was pretty distraught. Nathaniel asked me if I was going to call him, but I said no way! Ugh.

So then about an hour later Justin came home and asked if I had gotten a message. The little turd! Justin left the message, as a joke. I was so relieved!! We laughed about it for probably 2 hours and Nathaniel kept replaying the message. It was hysterical. I love my family.

I'm just so glad it wasn't really Jeff. What would you do?

No. 33 and Counting

I remember when Kristen, April and I went to a mall in Superior once and decided to get massages on those chairs they have stuck in a corner. It sucks when you expect something and get another. Instead of being relaxing, it had to be one of the most painful experiences in the whole entire world!! Ah, good times! Good times!

Just last week, I said out loud that as long as Jeremy lives at home with his parents, then it's o.k. that I still live with mine. This makes sense to me for a couple of reasons. 1) He's a guy and I'm a girl, it's more acceptable for a girl to live at home, so if a boy is still doing it, then it's just in my favor. 2) He's one year older than me so that's in my favor, too. 3) I've only lived with my parents for a few years, he's done it for more than me anyway.

So what does he do?! The little bastard goes and buys a damn house. How does this work for me? Huh? Really, do people do this to irritate me, 'cause I'm now irritated!! Grrrr.

Kansas City, here I come!!

I have only great things to say about my college tour in Kansas City, MO. I am totally going to go to school there. I just have to convince my dad that going to Dubuque, IA is not an option. And the totally great thing is that they have a scholarship program that would pay my first year of tuition, and that means I'd only have to pay for 2 years of college. That is incentive in itself if you ask me.

Too much to say, and too lazy to write it! Maybe later next week when I'm not cursing my job and my co-workers.

Things I Probably Could Have Done Without

In college, instead of using the quarters I saved up for laundry, I would use them for the vending machines....Doritos and Snickers. *sigh* Oh, to have a vending machine in my house now!

I went to the library a lot in college, and sadly it was not to study. It was to stare at boys. Can we say Farmburger? *sigh* Oh, to have a Farmburger to look at these days.

Dating. I hate dating, I could have totally gone without that. However, the positive thing about all the disastrous "relationships" I've had over the past 3 years is that I now know that it's not such a travesty to end up alone as long as you have someone to love (i.e. family, friends - I will not say dogs, because if I'm at that point, I should just be shot.) *sigh* Oh, to have found a soulmate (maybe I should go to Hershey, Pennsylvania.

In high school, I worked at a grocery store and would constantly buy a bag of snack size 100 grand bars. *sigh* Yeah, I totally could have done without that!

It's fun to look back on my life (for me, anyway). I love my life and even though people probably think I should have accomplished more at this point in my life, I don't care bacause I'm happy. And how many people can say that - and truly mean it?
