testes...o i mean testing....

2007-01-16T20:11:00.000-08:00

so i'm trying to figure out how to post picture on my blog, and i'm sorta technologically retarded. but here i go. so for testing trial #1, i will post pictures of the love of my life.... my dog. yeah, how sad. jordy is my favoritest! :) heck, even she has a boyfriend... (she's the golden colored one)

that is her and her boyfriend, baker. aren't they adorable together?

and this is them playing tug of war. lovers and friends! how cute!! :)

lotion infused toilet paper

2007-01-16T17:33:00.000-08:00

i have an idea for a new invention. well,it's a knock off from the lotion infused kleenex. you know how they have either loition infused or aloe infused kleenex for the poor people with a cold and they've blown their little noses so much it's tender? well, they need lotion infused toilet paper for those who have spent the last 2 days on the toilet with stomach issues. :)

seems like the little bug that went around before christmas caught me finally. i woke up monday morning and i felt kinda weird, but didn't think much of it. went to work, and it just didn't get better. the yucky feeling in my tummy, the "i feel like i'm going to throw up" feeling in my tummy just got worse and worse. finally confessed to my boss that it was going to come out both ends and she laughed at me. (probably serves me right, she's the brunt of many practical jokes i pull around the clinic) so i made my trip to the bathroom and sure enough, i lost all of the little of what i ate that day. i did make the hour drive home with no accidents in my car and proceeded to spend the rest of yesterday and today in bed or on the toilet.

therefore, i contend that someone needs to come up with the lotion infused toilet paper for my tender little butt. :)

New Year, New Look

2007-01-10T21:31:00.000-08:00

here's my new year's resolution. blog more. not really. i'm not much of a resolution maker. for the most part, whatever resolution i make, i will break. so my resolution this year is no resolutions. :)

so what's new in my life besides a new look to my blog? nothing really. still work in denver, driving thru gobs and gobs of snow. this is about the time that i kinda wish i was still living in az. at least there's not a blizzard there every week. there's more snow than i've ever seen before (besides on a ski slope). o, well, last week, i just had laser eye surgery to create a scar underneath my slightly torn retina. how i did that, i don't know. but i've been restricted to no strenuous activity for a month til the scar heals up. that means no snow shoveling (darn), no skiing, and no chance to beat jen in basketball. :( o well, wait til next month, i'll have a new eye! :) i have an interview next week at the hospital to be a butt wiper for them. anything not to drive to denver anymore and get in good for a better chance to get into nursing school.

other than that, it's just me and jordy having fun in the snow. it's more like her having the time of her life in the snow and i'm standing out there freezing my butt off wishing she'd hurry. i got a digital camera for myself for christmas (welcome to the new millenium) and once i get more high tech, i'll learn how to put up fun pictures on my blog. (dont' hold your breath though, i'm not the fastest person. there's still a puzzle on my coffee table from october, maybe even september, and it's not done yet.-- i hope my roomie doesn't care)

marry christmas and hoppy new year! :)

I'm a CERTIFIED butt wiper!!!

2006-12-25T12:35:00.000-08:00

for those who care, i passed my CNA (certified nurse's assistant) test last week and now i'm a certified butt wiper!!!! old people, be careful! i'm coming after you!! :)

wipe old people's butts?!?!?!?!?

2006-10-20T16:14:00.000-07:00

ok, so life as i know it is over for the next 4 weeks. this is what my life looks like: i wake up at 5:15 am, drive to work at 6 am, work from 7am to 2:30pm. drive back to greeley for class until 10 pm. go home, get ready for bed, wake up at 5:15 to do it all over again. i have no life. so what is this class i'm taking from 4-10pm, you ask? well, funny you should ask.... this class is the biggest joke of my life. it's a CNA class- certified nurses assistant. it's a class i have to take in order to apply to nursing school. (they make you have that so you can have some sort of medical field background). nevermind that i work in a physical therapy clinic. therefore, i'm in this class of people who either want to be nurses or CNA's, but most have never really worked in anything but mcdonald's or something like that. so here i am in a 6 hour class learning about 1)how to wash my hands, 2)how to remove and make a bed that has been soiled with the person still laying in it, 3)brush someone's teeth for them, 4)brush their dentures, 5)dress an elderly while still in bed, 6)how to put on support stocking for them. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? i'm paying $500 for a class that is so boring and so easy that i sit in class and would rather gauge out my eyes that to sit there in disbelief how some of my classmates could be so dumb. we have to ready 4 or 5 chapters each night and have a quiz the following day, but these questions are mostly common sense, it's scary to think that these people could be taking care of a live human being someday!

so anyways, that's my sad life. work and class all day monday thru thursday, and then i work all day on friday to cover the hours i miss the previous days. i only do this so i can go thru the fast-track year and a half nursing program instead or doing the 4 year thing. and i'm hoping to suck it up and maybe accept a job as a CNA for a few months so i no longer have to drive an hour to and from work anymore. i might soon be wiping old people's poop and pee.

why do i want to do this?????????????

jordy and me

2006-09-06T06:40:00.000-07:00

i just finished a book called "marley and me" by jon grogan. it is now one of my favorite books. i'm getting back into reading now since i sit in a cubical of a training room for a couple hours doing nothing, so i read! anyways, marley and me is this great heart warming story about a dog. this dog is quite this rambunctious dog that actually gets expelled from obedience school! :) anyways, it's about a family with the dog as teh central character and how, despite it's flaws, marley is the best dog ever! :)

so i've been inspired to wrote a short story about jordy and me. HAHA, yeah right, i'm not an author, heck, it takes me months and a few proddings to update my blog. audrey from halfway around the globe had to tell me that i had to update my blog because someone is trying to sell my readers valium. heck, i'll take the valium. :)

anyways, here's the 2 second update on my life: i work just north of denver at the same company i worked for in phoenix. i work mornings in the clinic and afternoons at a high school. hopefully that won't last long, i've done my time at a high school. fun, but not my thing anymore. work is also just over an hour away from home. ECH! for the $200 i pay in gas, i save in rent. there's a very nice couple from my church that is renting out a basement apt to jordy and i for a very discounted rate. :) i'm taking an online class to prepare to go back to school- which now is nursing school. i know, i know, it's always something different. but what do you expect from an ADHD kid? :)

so that's about it. i hope that satisfies by blog fans for now. :)

ps. kacie- jordy is still afraid of the fart sound. :) HAHAHAHA

pps. o!!!!! to all jordy lovers- you would be happy to know that my dog has mellowed out!!!!!! WWWWWAAAAHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! she's no longer out of control hyperactive, she's just a happy-to-see-you dog now. :) i'm such a proud mommy. :)

i have a job!!! :)

2006-07-20T17:13:00.000-07:00

so i have a job now. i work for the same company- physiotherapy associates- as i did in phoenix. so its good! :) the bad part is that i commute an hour to and from work everyday. BLAH!!! well, it's not everyday. i work four ten hour days so i can cut down on one day of commuting. but either way, it's a job and i'm not bored all the time and i have money again. :)

short and sweet....

i'm a homeless bum

2006-06-15T10:15:00.000-07:00

so i've been in colorado for almost a month now. i'm still homeless and still job-less. oh well, at least i've gone to vegas (and didn't lose $, in fact, came back with alot of money- but not from gambling, i got it from family. but i did win $20 gambling. haha), besides that, i've played alot of disc golf, went white water rafting/kayaking, and also drove from one side of town to another in under 15 minutes!!! so i haven't completely wasted time here. :)

so jobs. yeah, about that.... i've been to more interviews than i've ever had my whole entire life. it's been a learning experience. normally, i've chosen the job i wanted and went to an interview and then gotten hired. apparently with more experience and stuff, i've been classified as "over-qualified". over-qualified, my ass. i don't care. i just want a job. i'm not going to bolt just because i am more qualified than the other employees. so anyways, good thing i saved a bit of money that i'm not on the streets begging yet. but soon enough, if i don't find a job, i might just have to prostitute myself out. any takers? haha, just kidding. my friend and i may go to a temp agency later today.

as far as future goals, like i always said, give me another day and i'll come up with something new. so here's the new thing: i might go back to school and get a nursing degree. damn, i hate being ADHD sometimes! :) haha. but yeah, nursing. i have a couple good friends here that are nurses that have convinced me in a 5 minute conversation that nursing is a good career. i work 3 days a week on 12 hour shifts and that's considered full-time. work night or weekends and they'll tack of a few more dollars an hour. and then that'll leave the rest of my days to do more fun things, like rock climing, disc golfing, rafting, hiking etc. :) (everyone should move here, it's the best EVER! :) hehe) so anyways, the college here has this thing set up where if you are accepted by the university and gone thru an interview with the hospital, they will pay half of tuition in return for a 2 year contract with that hospital. so half of tuition paid and a guaranteed job, why the hell not??? :)

other than playing alot, i will admit, it's slightly stressful being jobless and homeless. but i have good friends that house the lesser fortunate and feed me in return for mannual labor. :) (i've been helping my friend paint her house for lunch and dinner :)) hey, i know how to make ends meet. but with nursing school, it might be better not to commit to a real job. maybe i'll go back to starbucks, NOT! i'll just go to a street corner, open my guitar case and start playing.

:)

i need a job!!!!

2006-05-30T10:19:00.000-07:00

so i'm still currently unemployed. :( my parents are going to kill me. because of the holiday weekend, i have not heard back from the job that i was really looking forward to hearing from. i called and left a message this morning, so hopefully, i'll get a call back soon.

so since i've been back, i've done alot of playing, but i'm starting to get bored and i HATE being bored. i need stimulus all around me and too much alone time brings me down. i need a job. it's funny; when i work, i can't wait to have a few days off. and now when i'm not working, i'm dying for a job. i'm wierd.

so i need to continue on my list of colorado vs arizona.....

1) there is no $1.75 dry cleaning here, it's like freakin' $6 to dry clean a shirt or pants here, HIGHWAY ROBBERY!!!
2) gas here a MUCHO cheaper here than in arizona AND i don't have to drive 30 minutes to get to my destination. 30 minutes gets me to another town, not just down the road.
3)i can't get over how nice the weather is here. i definitely don't miss the unbearable heat. i went to the zoo yesterday and i was perfectly comfy in a tank top and shorts, and almost chilly in the shade with a breeze.
4)i see beautiful snow capped mountains here.
5)no one here is as enthusiatic about the suns as i am. no zips or half moon for sporting events. i don't even think they watch the playoffs here. WHAT A SIN!!!
6)i play disc golf just about every other day here. i just taught my friend, klarissa, how to play and she's already better than i am. (she's played 4 times, i've been playing for a couple years)
7)sushi here is crappy compared to the yummies in phoenix.
8)i have to drive an hour to denver for "real" chinese food.
9)jordy likes colorado because she has many dog friends to play with here, and she gets to go disc golfing all the time. (only i need to somehow train her not to go chase my discs.)
10)i had a job in phoenix, now i'm unemployed.

anyways, there you go. that's my list. pray that i get a job soon, please!!!

i'm alive!!!

2006-05-23T11:46:00.000-07:00

hola! i finally made it to colorado alive. i hit the road at 3:30 am and got to my destination shortly after 7pm. lets just say that it was one of the longest days of my life. while jordy slept the whole way, i was struggling to stay awake. but God is good and He kept me awake with some good coversations on the good ol' cell phone.

so since i've been here, i went to 2 interviews. one yesterday and one today. the one yesterday went really well and seems to be promising. i'll know by the end of the week, so please keep that in your prayers. the one today was a bit on the quirky side. the lady i interviewed with was.... weird. don't know if i would want to work for her. she said she'd call me back for a second interview, but i might just decline.

so here are some highlights of my short stay in colorado so far, as compared to arizona.

1) went to pf changs the other night and we sat outside. i had to ask the waiter to turn on the heat lamps. HAHAHAHAHA
2) i can drive from one side of town to another in 15 minutes. i can't barely get to the grocery store in 15 minutes in phoenix.
3) there is actually weather here. granted its just a bit windy in the evenings, but it's some sort of weather besides scorching hot.
4) i'll have to admit, the restuarant selection is a bit measly here.
5) i get cold at night when i sleep here. i'm not running every fan possible.

that's my short list, but just wanted to let y'alls know that i'm here safe, thanks for the prayers! miss you arizonans!! :)

20 hours and counting...

2006-05-19T07:36:00.000-07:00

20 hours til jordy and i get into my rice rocket and head off to colorado! :) my house looks like a tornado sped thru it. i work 10 hours today, and i also need to sleep before i start driving before the butt crack of dawn. i'm not sure how i'll get everything packed. but o well. all i need is a few articles of clothing, my guitar, and my puppy. that all fits into my car, right? :)

sniff, sniff. sad to leave, but i can't help but have a big smile on my face. :)

i hate attention...

2006-05-15T13:50:00.000-07:00

so yesterday was my last sunday at my church. i was called to the front of the church by pastor scott to say bye, thanks, and pray for me. i don't like attention. i don't like it when everyone is staring at me. i tried to let my pastor know that i was leaving the last possible moment. but even then, it was too early, i still got called up to the front. dang. i wanted to melt into the ground. i didn't know who to look at, who to make eye contact with. so i just stared at the ground or stared at scott while he talked. there were 3 of us up there, but i felt like i was the only one, and naked too. i have the kira disease. ;)

i HEART melting pot!!!

2006-05-12T07:14:00.000-07:00

can we just say that i HEART melting pot!?!?! we went there last night for christie's birthday and ate like kings. i just about had to be rolled out in a wheel barrel. it was me, christie, kacie, audrey, and jeff. it was my first time there and it was DELICIOUS!!!! yummy to my tummy. i like fondue. i like cooking my lobster in some sort of wine broth. i don't like cheese or chocolate, but somehow the melting pot made those things so delectable!! (is that how you spell that?) anyways, it was AWESOME!!!!

first, it was a cheese fondue with cheddar, spinach, and artichoke. we had bread, apple, chips, and fresh veggies to dip in it. then it was a YUMMY salad, but i'm sad they could make a mushroom salad with 50/50 mushroom and lettuce. it was 80 mushroom and 20 lettuce and i really don't like mushrooms THAT much. then it was yumminess main course. had lobster, shrimp, steak, teriyaki steak, chicken, cajun sausage, mushrooms, squash, broccoli, potatoes, and more shrimp, more steak, more chicken. all cooked fondue style in some wine broth and dipped in yummy sauces. and last but not least, we had the smores fondue that they lit on fire. we had cheesecake, pineapple, strawberries, marshmallow, graham crackers, brownies to dip in it. it was SOOOOOO GOOOOOD!!!!! (are you drooling yet?)

we were there to celebrate christie's birthday, but secretly, i think i loved it SO much more!!! but then again, she did get our HOT waiter's phone number. cute, blonde girls who work for MLB.com gets all the boys. :( anyways, i think everyone should go to the melting pot, it's AWESOME! (just don't be intimidated by the prices, like audrey said: great food, an awesome time with friends, it's worth it!!!) :)

i HEART melting pot. :) yum yum yummy yum!

continual countdown...

2006-05-10T17:58:00.000-07:00

if anyone cares, the countdown is at: 10 days before jordy and i return to colorado.

(i do.... :) hehe)

road to being a better blogger

2006-05-07T19:15:00.000-07:00

hello friends. i just got done with the most boring 2 hours of my life. i had to look up alot of physics concepts and watch boring physics videos (made in the 80's) in preparation to my physics 2 final. all i have to say is i better get an A in this class. i started failing my quizzes, and after learning how to learn again, i got back on my game and i'm currently sitting at a low A in the class. i'm just hoping to end with an A overall. it'll look better on my grad school application.

anyways, i'm on the road to being a better blogger. once again, i'm uprooting so i have to keep my friends in the know of my whereabouts, so i have to be a better blogger. but i also realized that i am taking an online class starting in a couple weeks, so i'll be spending more time on the internet. so i'll become a better blogger at the expense of a poorer grade in "geology".

wow, i have to take some pretty awful classes in preparation for grad school. physics, chemistry, geology, and plant biology. i guess that's the price to pay for wanting to be a high school science teacher. can't i tell them that i just want to teach human biology/anatomy/sports medicine classes? who cares about rocks and plants? seriously.

anyways, i'm rambling because i just spent the most boring 2 hours of my life on the internet.

the countdown is on: 13 days til i move. bye bye scorching hotness, and hello to beautiful mountains. bye bye to all my new friends that i have grown to adore, and hello to all the friends that i have missed so much this past year. my last day of work is may 19th, and the moving truck is ordered on the 20th. ech on the 14 hour drive in a penske moving truck. 6-10 miles per gallon said their website. heck, might as well throw away all my junk and start over. but my little eclipse can't carry much after me and my dog. so i guess i'll just suck it up, sell some plasma and rent the stupid moving truck. anyways, goodbye and hello....

moving back home!!!

2006-05-03T17:50:00.000-07:00

hello boys and girls. this may be a record! another new blog so soon? :)

anyways, after long sleepless nights figuring out my next step in life, i have come to a conclusion. i am going to sell all my posessions and move to china to be a missionary. ok, so maybe i'm lying, but hey, that could happen someday. i have made the decision to move back to colorado. not that my friends in AZ aren't cool, they are cool. it's just that AZ is too hot. ok, so that's not the real reason. i'm moving back to CO to regain my in-state status and go back to school to get my master's in education.

but then again, ask me in a month and it can change. but for now, i have put in my 4 weeks notice at work, reserved a moving truck, started packing, and at the end of this month, i will be back in good ol' colorado. after this, i will NOT move for another few months. haha. hopefully not for a few years after i finish school and settle down. moving sucks.

anyways. i will miss phoenix. i have made many new friends, been a part of a great church, and have learned a ton, not only about life in general, but my job here has been a great learning experience and will make me a better trainer overall. i am excited to see what God has in store for me back in colorado. i'm excited to be reunited with many of my dearest friends. sometimes i wonder what God is doing with me. why He uproots me from colorado only to bring me back just one year later. i wonder why He has given me the desire to pursue a masters in educ when i am appalled at what high school kids get into these days. but then i say, though it does not make sense, God is in control. and with that, i just have to trust that He's got my life in His hands. so whether i'm in phoenix, colorado, or even china, i'm taken care of.

the worst 2 days of my life....

2006-04-07T16:20:00.000-07:00

so i haven't posted a blog in almost 3 months, and here i am, about to post a bad blog. but i have a little time to spare on the internet so why not?

so what's hapenned in the last couple months that i have not blogged? well, i don't have internet at my fingertips very readily, so i kinda slacked off.

and what happened in the last couple days that i felt the need to blog about it? well, besides my friends bugging me, and besides that i have a few extra moments, i have to share my horrible experience with the whole world.

yesterday, i go to class early to make up a test that i missed a couple weeks ago. the reason it's been a couple weeks because my professor and i had about 2 weeks owrth of mis-timings and we finally worked it all out to where i took the test yesterday. keep in mind that i'm taking physics 2 after a 6 year hiatus since physics 1. and the start of class was pretty grim, started with and F and a D on the first 2 quizzes. well, since then i've busted my butt and i have an A in the class as of, well, 2 days ago. ok, so fast foward to yesterday. i go take my test and lets just saay that i forgot just about all the material covered on that test in the last 2 weeks. i'm pretty sure i failed. (good thing he drops the lowest test grade.) so then i go to my car to get my books that i need for class since i couldn't take in my books into the testing center. well, i don't have my keys. retraced my steps, no keys. campus security time. took them about half an hour to break into my car, leaving me 25 minutes late to class. ok, so, it doesn't end there. i had lab last night. and my lab partner and i are pretty proficient, normally the first ones out of lab. well, yesterday, due to a few miscalculations, we were the last ones out. this normally wouldn't have been a problem, but my mom had just flew into town to visit me. and mind you, i haven't seen my mom since may of last year (a very loooong time). so anyways, finally get out of my lab, get into my car to drive to see my mommy!

does not end there. something is wrong with my car. it's stuck in 2nd gear and won't shift. i'm going 45 and it's going past 5 rpm's, nearly redlining my car. i get off the highway, pop the hood. why? i dont' know because i don't know anything under the hood except how to check my oil. so i did. it's fine. so now what? a nice man came by, and i described the problem to him. he says it's my transmission. ok, so i call mom and tell her that i can't go see her tonight and i go home. wake up this morning (luckily i took the day off to hang out with my mom) and take the car into the shop. i get a call back: $2600. what the @&#*@??? my whole transmission is shot. i need a new one. my car has only 64,000 miles on it! how can it be? i make a bajillion calls and shop around for a better price. and i have a place doing it for $1650. i was like, whew! then i was like, what?!?!?! that's still an arm and a leg!!! to add on top of that, i'm paying $150 for a rental car since it's gonna take 4 days to fix the stinkin' rice rocket.

so there! that's why my last couple days has been CRAPPY! so if anyone wants to contribute to the "Rice Rocket's New Do" fund, i'll take all donations! :)

I'm stupid...

2006-01-27T21:01:00.000-08:00

so i've been too busy to update my blog. between work, class, and cleaning up after my sick dog (who has runny poop problems), i haven't had time to sleep, let alone update a blog. anyways, class. physics is kicking my butt. second day of class, the prof asks when people took physics 1. well, of the 18 people in the class, 15 took it last semester. 2 took it 2 years ago. and then there is me. 6 years ago. i am currently in physics 2 not having taken physics 1 since 1999 or 2000. needless to say, none of the equations that he says we should know even ring a bell, and i am more lost than a blind kid trying to play baseball in that class. it's a joke.

so we took our first quiz on tuesday. i got a 3.5 out of 6. i'm off to a great start.... and then my dog wakes up in the middle of the night with stomach issues and stinks up my room at 3:30 am which takes me almost an hour to clean and a feeble attempt to get rid of dog diarhea smell. (i can't spell) needless to say, i didn't get much sleep. anyways, between stupid dogs and stupid physics equations, i have come to the conclusion that i'm a bit slow.....

Life as I know it is over...

2006-01-14T14:59:00.000-08:00

well, vacation is over and i'm back in arizona. and starting in 3 days, life as i know it is over. i will be taking 7 credit hours along with still working full time still. i was going to be taking a full load of classes, but financially, it's not going to happen. so starting tuesday, i will work 40 hours a week and take stats and physics with a lab. the other class i was going to take was chemistry with a lab. i'm a bit insane, as most people have told me.

anyways, i'm taking these classes because i just LOVE to learn. PSSHHAAA!!! i'm taking these classes to fulfill the last bit of requirements to get into grad school. so i'm taking these classes at a community college. so i'm thinking: i'm technically not quite a resident of arizona, so community college will be cheaper, right? WRONG! well, kinda, sorta. the way it's set up, the first 6 credit hours are $85 per credit hour. not too bad. but after that is where they get you. each consequent credit hour after that is $285. WHO THE HECK PAYS $285 A CREDIT HOUR AT A COMMUNITY COLLEGE?!?!?!?!? so anyways, daddy says no to one class, so schedule-wise, with work, i opted to drop chemistry. so instead of a $3000 tuition bill, it'll be about $2000. then i spent $400 on books, but i just spent the last hour looking for them online and i got them for a fraction of the price. so instead of a $3500 endeavor, i'm looking at $2200. still....

aside from going to school, i've been stressing out about grad school applications. currently, i have turned in my NAU (northern arizona univ) application. and i'm just about done with my CU (univ of colorado, health sciences center) application. hopefully, i'll get in somewhere and start school this fall and in 3 years all y'alls can call me DOCTOR! hahaha, not really. getting a doctorate in physical therapy gives you the right to the title of "doctor" but most people don't use that title in our profession. anyways, i could use some prayer in all this. get into school, somewhere, i don't care. i just want to get into school.

so that's the latest on my life. work and school and wishful of more school. pretty boring. i wish i was back on vacation......

COTTON CANDY MACHINE!!!!

2006-01-07T09:51:00.000-08:00

GUESS WHAT GUYS?!?!?!?! I GOT A COTTON CANDY MACHINE!!!!!!! i will update on my adventures in colorado when i'm not busy on vacation, but i would like the whole world to know that kathy now owns a cotton candy machine. and i think when i get back to arizona, i'm going to throw a BIG cotton candy party. (well, maybe not BIG. this cotton candy machine is from walmart and is made for 8 year old kids. i'm an 8 yr old at heart. but it doens't make a whole lot before it starts overheating. so maybe i'll be a small intimate party, just lots of mini parties.)

THANKS JEN!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!! you know the key to my heart. i'm forever indebted to you. i do not know what gift i can ever give to you that will measure up to what you have given me in a cotton candy machine. YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

ha ha ha ha ha ha

lets see how i faired on my Christmas wish list....

2005-12-27T09:00:00.000-08:00

ok! Christmas is over, i had an extra day off on monday and now i'm back at work. Christmas was a doozer for me this year, quite depressing, so i'm actually kinda glad it's over with. Christmas eve was good. i slept in, got up, took my puppy to the park where we played frisbee. that was her Christmas present. wrapped some presents and went over to my mom's best friend's house. hung out with marilyn (their 14 yr old daughter) for a while. then i went to church. after church, i went back for Christmas eve dinner which consisted of rib eye steak, green bean casserole, corn, baked potato, and sparkling cider. it was YUMMY!!! (and i'm still eating it 3 days later). after dinner, we opened presents. :) but Christmas day was a whole different story. slept in, got up and took jordy to the park and that was the highlight of my day. unless you count the nap that i took. i sat at home and watched tv/dvd's by myself all day. it was depressing. so anyways, i miss seeing my family this Christmas, hopefully i'll see them soon....

but to see how i faired on my Christmas wish list....
1. a lazyboy recliner for my room (asked my parents for it and they said yes. but i just remembered that hopefully, i'll be moving soon to go to PT school and lugging around more furniture would be just a hassle. so i'll just have to ask for something else)
2. gladiator on dvd (nope :o( )
3. a digital camera (asked my parents for it and my dad said i could have his old one. but i'm ok with that, i'm not that technologically savvy so whatever works. my dad has nice toys)
4. a cotton candy maker (much to my dismay, no :o( )
5. gift card to the movie theater (YES!)
6. a few month's subscription of cable (particularly ESPN and affiliates thru march madness) (another no)
7. tickets to a KU game (and the plane ticket to go along with it) (more no's)
8. my mommy to come to arizona for Christmas since i won't be able to make it home (this one will be postponed. rumor says she'll come here after she gets back from taiwan for chinese new years)
9. ski lift ticket with friends for when i'm in colorado (going to to CO this weekend, so maybe if my friends are nice...)
10. gift card to outback, red lobster, or any sushi place (no ;o( )
11. lots and lots of candy (and some extra $ for dentist visits) (i actually got lots and lots of candy, yummy ones too!!!! thanks!!)
12. a KU hoodie (got Christmas $ to buy myself a hoodie since apparently KU hoodies aren't for sale in arizona, go figure....)
13. a professional massage (no, but maybe one of my nice friends will give me an unprofessional massage)
14. monster's inc. on dvd (thanks kacie!! :) )
15. the notebook on dvd (my all time love story is still not mine)
16. last of the mohican's soundtrack on cd (nope :o( )
17. ipod nano (my best friend got one for Christmas and i asked her if she would give it to me and she said no. :o( )
18. legends of the fall soundtrack on cd (nope)
19. full ride scholarship to PT school (no, but my application is rolling on and cross your fingers i start school in the fall)
20. to win the lottery (it's kinda hard to win the lottery when you don't even play the lottery)

anyways, there you go! i'm still going to see more friends in colorado, so maybe some of the no's will turn into yes's!! :) i just hope i can fit in all my presents into my suitcase. if not, maybe my friends can lend me clothes. making sure their present makes it to colorado is more important. i'll run around naked in the snow, i don't care. :)

loneliness.... to joy.....

2005-12-14T19:59:00.000-08:00

Christmas is just around the corner and it's a bit sad around here. there are Christmas lights on palm trees. it seems a bit ironic to me, but anyways. this will be the first Christmas i don't spend with my family. granted Christmas was never a big holiday for my family, but either way, they're family. it's kinda funny looking back and thinking how depressing Christmas was for my family. growing up, we had one Christmas tree ever, and maybe put lights up three times. Christmas was sitting around the kitchen table on Christmas eve opening presents. always got cash from dad since putting thought into a real present was too much for him. and no gift was ever bigger than a shoe box. anyways, depressing as it sounds, i'm kinda sad that i won't be able to see my family over the holidays. i didn't make it home for thanksgiving and now Christmas. the last time i've seen my parents was in may. and the last time i saw my brother was... i don't even remember.... anyways.

but those who know me know that i can't stay sad too long. so lets share the happy thoughts....

it's december and it's like 60 degrees during the day time. i wear basketball shorts and a hoodie to take jordy to the park. the only time i need a jacket is when i go to work in the morning at 6:30am. it's quite glorious. i hear scary stories about how it's like in the negatives in colorado (friends), kansas (parents), and chicago (bro). i get many calls asking the temperature and then curses when they hear how lovely it is here.

another happy thing, is by far, the biggest happy news for me. i'm going to colorado in 16 days, not that i'm counting or anything. i leave right after work friday, december 30th, and i get back late sunday january 8th. and i have to wake up early to go to work monday. blagh. but o well, I'M GOING ON VACATION!!!! here is my list of things to do while i'm in colorado:
- hang out with all my friends i have not seen since august
- go ski (and not break a leg or arm)
- see my new god-daughter cecily
- freeze my ass off
- plat settlers of catan with my friends (if the cult has not disbanded yet)
- go get lollicup and dim sum with my girlfriend, jen (but she's cheating on me)
- watch "in her shoes" with my best friend, klarissa
- get drunk on new year's eve (and then kiss a boy)
- sleep in because i'm on vacation
i think that's about all. if other things come up i'll add to my list. so anyways, there you go. my happy list.

anyways. much love. i was instructed to update my blog and this is what i came up with. happy reading!! :)

My Christmas List

2005-11-29T10:30:00.000-08:00

since it's after thanksgiving, it's now time to go shopping. i didn't do the whole after-thanksgiving shopping thing because a) i had to work (boo on that) and b) i don't like big crowds or feeling like a cow being herded around.

anyways, i did a little shopping friday after work and saturday. but those who know me also know that i probably won't have all my Christmas shopping done until sometime after christmas. :) haha. some of you i won't see until after Christmas, so i can actually do that this year! :) so anyways, this blog is reserved for Christmas lists.... friends: reply to this blog with a few things you would like for Christmas and i'll see what i can do to bring a little Christmas cheer for you!

as for me.....

(in no particular order...)
1. a lazyboy recliner for my room
2. gladiator on dvd
3. a digital camera
4. a cotton candy maker
5. gift card to the movie theater
6. a few month's subscription of cable (particularly ESPN and affiliates thru march madness)
7. tickets to a KU game (and the plane ticket to go along with it)
8. my mommy to come to arizona for Christmas since i won't be able to make it home
9. ski lift ticket with friends for when i'm in colorado
10. gift card to outback, red lobster, or any sushi place
11. lots and lots of candy (and some extra $ for dentist visits)

did you know that running makes you fat?

2005-11-23T16:06:00.000-08:00

this blog will be short and sweet. mainly, this one is for jen. you keep on saying that i'm going to get fat someday and i need to keep running. well, did you know that in the last 3 months while i've been running, i've also gained a good chunk of weight? anyways, i haven't weighed myself in a while, but i did today at the doctor's office. i won't reveal to the world how much i weigh, but i will say that it's the most i have ever weighed in my life, and it's almost a 10% increase. over 7% to be more exact. anyways, jen, running makes you gain weight.... so no more making fun of me about me being a skinny couch potato. now i'm going to eat a tub of ice cream....

VICTORY!!!!

2005-11-14T11:06:00.000-08:00

so, obviously i survived my first race. obviously i didn't die of an asthma attack. and obviously i finished, or i'd be too embarassed to even blog about it. in fact, i think i did fairly well. the most i ran was 5 miles about 4 weeks ago. and i was sick 2 weeks prior to the race. and i went hiking for almost 2 hours the day before a race because i'm a sucker for a cute boy.

dispite my lack of discipline and my short stubby legs, i finished the race without walking. in fact, i finished the race in 59:07!!! that's an average of 9:31 miles. i am very happy that i broke the one hour mark.

so here's the replay of the race and some of my thoughts during...

the first 3 miles i was coasting. i ran with andrew (a friend from church). he was very nice and made me feel good about myself by running with me (he's a triathlete). we were coasting and going at a pretty steady pace. then soon after mile 3, i crashed. we were running in downtown tempe, and if i had known where i was in the route, i would've found my way back to the car and waited for my friends there. but i kept my short stubby legs going. next thing i know, i look up and i see kira in front of me. (kira did not train at all for this race.) in the competitive instinct within me could not let her in front of me. so i caught up with her and we ran together for a little bit. we waited for audrey to show up, but we couldn't find her. kira slowed down for her, but i kept on going because if i slowed down any more, i would've just stopped all together. so i went on and part way thru mile 4, kira catches back up with me and we start running together. while kira is fretting that she's a bad friend for losing audrey, i'm thinking, gotta keep going, can't stop to find a friend, have to finish. (kira is a little bit less selfish than i) anyways, we run together and as we pass mile 5, the timer person yes out some time that was 48 or 49 minutes. and kira turns to me and says, we can finish this race in less than hour! i looked at her as if she was insane, but at the same time, i thought how sweet it would be if we could finish in less than an hour. so i said, well, if we want to break an hour, we're gonna have to haul ass! well, we did. so picture this with me: kira is probably about 5'9" and of that 5'9", about 5' of it are legs. i'm 5'3" (with shoes on) and i got short stubby legs. and so as we pick up the pace, i was like a warthog running next to a very graceful gazelle. (lauren, sorry, i had to steal that line) so anyways, once i hit mile 6, i mustered up the last bit of energy that i had and sprinted the last .2 miles. and i thought i was going to hurl when i passed the finish line. but that's ok because i finished in less than an hour. :)

so to refer to the previous blog, i didn't burn my running shoes. jen is still trying to convince me to run the half marathon. i had a BIG lobster for lunch after the race. i had cold stone after that. and ice cream for dinner. but i didn't eat the whole tub. i haven't found my ice cold pepsi yet. and there was no cute boy to make out with. (though i did hike with a cute boy the previous day)

anyways, that was my first (and maybe last) race. my legs hurt. they feel like they are going to fall off. and i'm going to go home after work today and eat more ice cream. :)

Phoenix New Times 10K

2005-11-11T13:51:00.000-08:00

on sunday is the "new times 10K" that i have signed up to run. part of me is very excited for this since i'm a virgin at these things. running cross country in high school doens't really count. so of my post-high school running career, this will be my first race. 6.2 miles. i was sick all last week, so i wasn't able to run. and this week, i've been trying to make up for it and every muscle in my lower body hurts. therefore, i'm also nervous about the race. i just want to finish without having to stop and walk. that is my goal-- no walking.

so stay tuned on monday or shortly there after for my blog on my first race.

but before then, lemme share with you my plans for life after sunday....
1)i'm going to burn my running shoes
2)my post-high school career finished as soon as it started. i'm not going to run the half marathon. can't do it.
3)i'm going to eat a tub of ice cream in one sitting. (and i'm not talking about the ben and jerry's sized tubs)
4)i'm going to sit in front of the tv and eat that tub of ice cream.
5)i'm going to splurge and treat myself to a very nice dinner.
6)i'm going to sit in my hot tub after the race (only i don't have a hot tub. if only i still lived in greeley, and if only blayne and deb still owned their house...)
7)i'm going to find a hot guy that ran next to me and ask him to make out with me after the race.
8)actually, after the race, i'm going to shower and go to church. so you can nix #7.
9)i'm going to treat myself to an ice cold pepsi. (i have not drank pop since i started running.)
10)i will cry after losing the 6-pack that appeared since i started running.

How do you catch a cold in 90 degree weather??

2005-11-02T13:28:00.000-08:00

so as you know from the title of this blog, i'm a bit under the weather. i have some sort of vicious cold. but it's like 90 degrees outside. how does one catch a cold when it is hot as hell outside? poop on a stick!!

i woke up yesterday with the tightness in my throat and stuffiness in my sinuses. well today, it is now full blown! :( so sad. i hate being sick. and being that i have not completed 6 months of work here yet, i don't have sick leave. so here i am, at work, spreading my germies to all my co-workers and my patients. meanwhile, my utmost desire is to be in bed, curled up in my blankets, with my blankie and froggie keeping me company. (yes, that is my 32nd confession, i still sleep with a blankie and froggie) anyways, i'm drugged up on dayquil during the day and nyquil at night. and my 10K race is less than 2 weeks and i'm out of commission for probably a week.

my life is falling apart..... (just kidding, by the way)

Arizona State Fair

2005-10-27T18:03:00.000-07:00

Last weekend, i went to the arizona state fair with a few of my friends. i remember when i used to go to the kansas state fair as a little kid on school field trips and having so much fun. well, that was also almost 20 years ago. now fast foward 20 years. state fairs are over crowded and over priced. first, it cost $10 just to get in. not to mention that we parked a mile away and paid to park. (although i ran out without paying...) The parking lot directly across the street of the fair was $60 parking. that parking lot was quite full, so there are some pretty insane (or very rich) people out there. we waited in line to be frisked by a very handsome female police, if you know what i mean. i think she liked frisking me. after entering the fair, we had dinner, which consisted of a roasted corn, an i-cee, and a funnel cake which cost me an arm and a leg. (now i'm maimed) after that, we decided to ride rides. but as you know from my previous blog, i dont' like rollercoasters. so i rode the superslide a few times. (i hope you can see by the photo that i really enjoyed being 5 again. :) haha) anyways, after that, we walked around, saw farm animals, played games, ate more fat calories, watched other people throw their money away, and rode the ferris wheel. it was an okay time, but i would much have rather taken the $30 i spend and bought myself a nice steak dinner from a fancy restaurant that gives you weeds and grass for a salad. but then again, quality time with quality people is always to be cherished.

(there were great photos to be put up with this blog entry, but this computer is being dumb, so the photos will be posted at a later date. sorry for the inconvinience.)

my 31 confessions

2005-10-20T13:23:00.000-07:00

PHOTOS!!!!

2005-10-13T18:39:00.000-07:00

so you want photos? here are photos! this is my jordy gallery! isn't my dog the cutest?? :) I LOVE HER!!!

first one is a close up! :)
second one is what she does when i'm at work...
third one is famous "treat on the nose" trick.
last one is her new haircut. :)

not as funny as darcy, but i'm currently trying to do too many things at once....

i'm demotivated :(

2005-10-11T11:47:00.000-07:00

i'm demotivated in my running expeditions. one, i would rather be lazy and eat candy all day than run. two, cassi's right, on days for longer runs, it takes 1-2 hours of my time. who has time for that and who runs that long anyways? (but cass, if you run with me, i will DEFINITELY do it. it's on january 15th. go to www.rnraz.com) three, though i'm only 25, my body feels like it's 50 after i run. four, i won't lie, i'm just plain lazy.

so i guess i'm writing this blog because i want all my friends to help motivate me and tell me that i should do this. (or if you really think i'm insane, you can tell me that i should quit. i appreciate honesty.)

that's all....

ps. i never made 6 miles that day i said i would. i only ran 3 and a half. i should be running now, but i'm putting it off by writing a blog about how i don't want to run anymore....

Random thoughts...

2005-10-06T11:07:00.000-07:00

my dog loves me....

so life in phoenix is pretty boring. there's not much to report. but i feel the need to update my blog even when i don't have much to say. so here are a slew of my random thoughts....

1)after throwing up on my carpet from being dehydrated and not drinking out of her water feeder, my dumd ass dog is finally starting to learn that if she's thirsty, she's going to have to get over the fact that the water feeder makes weird noises sometimes. bubbles....

2)i was planning on going home for thanksgiving to see my folks and attend a wedding. but after looking at airline prices, i had second thoughts. why in the world does it take $500 to fly to kansas?!? what's in kansas?!?!?! so after expressing my frustrations to a patient of mine who happens to work for southwest airlines, i now have a free plane ticket home for thanksgiving!! the perks of my job....

3)running is still coming along. in fact, after i write this, i plan on running 6 miles. but the key word is "plan". we'll see how it goes. so far, the plan has expanded. in november, i'm running a 10k (like 6 somethng miles), the week after that, i'm doing the "summit challenge" where i hike all 7 peaks of phoenix, (i'm guessing the equivalent of the difficulties of a 14'ner, but without the altitude), and in january, i'm running my half marathon. guess what i'm doing after that? i'm going to stop running, rest my 50 yr old knees, eat extremely unhealthy, put on all the weight i lost from running, and turn into a couch potato. NO MORE RUNNING AFTER JANUARY!!! can't wait!

4)small side note. remember how i said klarissa was coming out to visit? false alarm. they are going to wait til the whole divorce thing is settled with before she comes out. sad...

5)but if anyone wants to visit arizona in the winter time, please come! the weather is oh so nice now. (i'll deal with scorching summers for glorious winters.)

well, that's all. sorry not much to say. it's not like i'm in ireland or have someone else's dog to torture. it's just me and jordy...

miss you and love you all!

one photo...

this was the only photo i had.... Mt. Princeton 14,197 , August 20, 2005

my running log

2005-09-29T15:13:00.000-07:00

i think i've become this obsessive runner that keeps logs of how much i run. (only i'm not keeping a log) i ran 5 miles today. audrey, you're right. once you've done 4, what's 5? next week, i'll try 6. sick, do you hear what i'm saying? who in their right mind just goes and runs 6 miles for fun? i'm insane. but here's my funny story....

after work, i run 5 miles on the treadmill. (it's still too hot outside. i know it's like cold in colorado. if you want to escape that, it's still like 90's here) after i run, i sit in the cold whirlpool to help with my shin splints and knee pain (i feel like i'm 40 after i run). so what happens after that? my co-worker had leftover mcdonald's fries from lunch, i ate them. hahahaha. i run 5 miles and then eat fries. hahahaha.

anyways, for my non-colorado friends, if you want a sense of where i came from, check out lifewithdarcy.blogspot.com. or just click on darcy's link on your right. just a quick background story, darcy is blayne and deborah's dog. she's the sweetest dog ever (after mine, of course). while blayne and deb are in ireland for a year, darcy is staying with jen. well, jen and her boyfriend, eric, are a little sick in the head.... that's all that needs to be said. check out darcy's blog. grab a tissue, it'll make you laugh til you cry. :)

i hate running...

2005-09-27T12:46:00.000-07:00

so yeah, my church friends had this grand idea to train for a half marathon and asked me to join. stupid me said yes, so for the past 2 weeks i've been running my little tail off. in fact, i just got off the treadmill at work. so i'm sitting here in a ball of sweat, still breathing hard, writing my blog. i just ran 4 miles. longest distance since i started. go me. i told them that i would give training 1 month, and if i still hate it at the end of a month, i will quit. but for those who know me, i'm a insanely competitive person, and i don't quit. so i have become a masochist (how do you spell that?) and i run about 5 times a week, anywhere from 2 to 4 miles a day.

why am i running a half marathon, you ask? well, i thought since i ran cross country in high school, what's 13.1 miles? well, i also forgot that it was 8 years ago that i was running 6-7 miles a day. and even then, i hated it. i guess it's one of them life feats that i want to accomplish. i figure that i'll never run a full marathon, i'm not that ambitious. so half that would be good in my books.

so even though running a marathon is far from my life goal, i have a fun question for my blog of the day: what one thing would you like to accomplish before you die? for me, it's not run a half marathon. but it's one of little things i would like to check off in my life time. is it hike all the 14'ners? go to disneyland? see the seven wonders of the world (or is there 8?)? i would LOVE to hear your answer....

funny how God works...

well, well, well. i jumped on the bandwagon and thought that this would be funner than writing out e-mails. now anyone can come read all about my life. how freaky is that? anyways. deborah, thanks for introducing me to this awfully addicting thing. i don't have internet access in my apt, but at work and the community center at my apt complex, i do. so i guess it's both good and bad. good, because i would write a blog every day and bore you guys with pointless stories about my boring life. (it's not like i'm in ireland or something.) but bad, because it will take me a few days or weeks to write and update. oh well, i'll get there....

so anyways, here's my CRAZY turn of events for the week. klarissa's family has been going thru a rough time, her parents are finally officially getting a divorce. thru this process, her dad has had some sort of revelation that i'm not that bad after all, in fact, i was always a good influence on klarissa. he has, in the last week, allowed klarissa to talk to me whenever she wants to, and he is allowing her to come out here to visit me. WHOA!!!!! isn't that CRAZY?!?!? makes me want to go into his head and figure out his thought process. though mom is not very happy about it, both of her parents know and so she's booked a ticket in late october to come see me. FREAKIN' CRAZY isn't it??? funny how God works....

so this is my blog for the day/week. this is actually kinda fun!

I'm a blogger virgin...

so all my church friends have one of these, but i thought that i was not cool enough to have one too. but in actuality, i was just refusing to be part of the "in crowd". it wasn't until i read deborah's blog about how she hung out with a chinese guy did i HAVE to create a blog to reply to how COOL it was that there are chinese people in ireland!!!! so now, when i visit, i won't stick out like a sore thumb!! are there more chinese people in ireland than there was in greeley? if so, that's pretty awesome! :)

so anyways, i might try this new thing to keep my friends updated with my new life in phoenix. we'll see how often i update it. (i'm sure as often i as wrote them e-mails...)

so another blogger virgin thought: when i write in these bloggers, who do i address my bloggers to? a specific someone, the computer, or a fly on the wall? maybe this blogging thing might just be a bit too confusing for me....

peace out.
