I want to buy a house!


So this afternoon after work, I am chillin in my apt. I was going to meet Allison to go to dinner and shopping. As I get ready to leave, I find a note taped to my door. It is a note from the apt. staff stating that there have been several noise complaints and that we need to respect the quiet hours. GREAT! Well for one, my feelings are officially hurt. Who knows why... I am just like that. 1. Why couldn't these people come to our door first asking us to quiet down when this actually happened. 2. I know we have probably been loud in the past, but Stepharoo hasn't even slept here all summer, Tina was on vacation, and I have been here just to sleep lately. What could these people possibly be hearing? They say our music is up to loud... well if they are talking about my fish shower radio... a thousand apologies and I will make sure to turn his eye down in the future! HONESTLY PEOPLE!

The lady that lives below us I feel would just come tell us. One time when I got DDR, I was playing and she came up and told us to stop. I have not played the game since... problem solved! haha I just want to know why people don't have the nerve to come to our door, or even knock on the walls to let us know. WHY ARE PEOPLE SO PICKY?!?!?


Does anyone have a cheap house for sale?!?!

Little sister mania

As most of you already know, I am in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. I have a little sister, Alexis. She is 10. We have so much fun together. It took us about 7 months to get into an actual groove of hanging out and truly being friends. The first day Alexis called me just to talk was probably one of the greatest moments! Of course there was a lot of silence, and a lot of "I am spinning right now and am really dizzy" None the less, as soon as we hung up I speedily (if that is a word) called my mom to tell her about the conversation. Just recently Alexis and I have finally become "sisters." The other day I took her out to eat and to the mall. We had actual conversations and it felt like we were becoming great friends.
Alexis also says the most hilarious things. The other day when I picked her up I asked her where she wanted to eat. She said she didn't care. I gave her two options, O'Charlies and Culvers. she then says to me, "Have you ever been to the Olive Garden?" Now she knows for a fact I have because she has asked me before. I tell her yes and ask if she would like to go there. She is sooooo excited! We got to eat outside and the meal was a lot of fun. As we are leaving the restaurant she goes, "I am going to bring my kids here someday. I just hope it stays open for years and years." HAHAHA I am glad I could have made her day!
If anyone is interested in becoming a big brother or sister let me know! They are just hilarious! =)

Shake your booty, NO WAY! Shake your booty... OK!

I just got back from a week of CYO camp. The staff numbers are down this year so I decided to take a week off of work and help them out. I was a floater so I got to hang out with 4 or so different groups. The groups that I hung out with this week were great! Probably one of the best group of students I have been around at camp. I think the funniest thing that happened this week was a kid comes up to me and says, "What does it mean if I feel like I have been smoking all day but I haven't?" I then say to him, "What?" and he goes, "I have smoke in my nose." Sometimes kids just say the funniest things.
After about 100 "Shake your booty" "sing the wee wee song." "walking around the OPC like constipated Giraffes." (that one is my least favorite) I would have to say, I am getting REALLY OLD!! hahaha Back when I worked at camp in 2003, I couldn't stop jumping, singing, and being crazy. Everyday this past week, I longed for rest period and bed time! I am sad to say that my youthful energy is slowly slipping through my fingers!
A lot of great things come out of camp for both the kids and workers. What a great example we can set for our future teachers, camp counselors, lawyers etc. Camp will always have a special place in my heart, but I think that I must say goodbye to working at camp.
I hope everyone had a great week!
