long time no see!

Oy!!! I didn't realize it had been so long. I guess I haven't been here cuz woody left and I've been really busy. Lets see, where to start. I'm going to a new church, which I love ( I think I might have already talked about my church. oh well ) I ot baptised almost a month ago. I've got guy problems lately. This boy I really like ( and kissed ) can't make up his mind about me. He gave me my first kiss last summer and he's still hemming and hawwing. In the mean time his foster brother likes me and has asked me to the prom at the school where I only go for one class and he dosn't go at all. He's really nice but he's like 17 and has a 2yr old daughter with a woman whose about 4 years older than him. yeah. thats why he's in foster care. so thats about it. i'm floundering about, trying to figure out school, guys and life! :-) tootles !!! tam

ice age!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Umm.... its really cold here and the wind is whistling through the doors and I hate winter. Winter puts me in a really bad mood. I LOVE summer and I'm counting the days until some warmer weather :) and what makes it worse is there is hardly any snow to go sledding or skiing and the ice on our lake is really crappy, so we can't go skating and the fish aren't biting so there is no point in going out and ice fishing. Its just plain cold!!! well, thats it. Bye!! tam

American Idol last night was great. But right away, they start dissing Minneapolis. Whats up with that. One of my favorites was the " Urban Amish " guy. Seriously, where do these people get the nerve to audition? I mean, some of them are REALLY bad. But they think they're great. They must be in denial. Tonight I have youth group I'm bummed that I cant watch tonight. Maybe I'll get home in time to see the last half :) Well, tootles!! Tam

post christmas

Hey everybody!!! I hope ya'll had a blessed Christmas. Mine was kinda boring but thats o.k. We went to the nursing home on Christmas Eve and had a party with Grandma and my dad's aunts and uncles who are all old. So yeah, it got alittle boring. My parents gave all of us money and we all went shopping on Tuesday. I got a new cell phone which I think is pretty sweet. I got a new number and my brother got my old number. The last few days I've been getting weird calls from an 800 number and a private number. The private number has called at the exact same time the last two days. They've woken me out of sweet slumber at 9am. Do they not know that its Christmas break?! I'm not even alive at 9 in the morning! They keep asking for a Dr. somebody and I keep telling them that this is not his phone. And they wont tell me who they are. It sounds like a telemarketer. Then the lady calls me 3 times today and the last time I tell her to take my number off her list. But she wants me to give this Dr. guy a message and I tell her that I've never heard of this guy but she dosn't believe me and keeps asking if I'm sure I can't get a message to him. I keep telling her that this is my new number and I've no clue who this person is. Then she retorts, " Well thats what we're trying to find out." and hangs up. The nerve!!! Whew! Well. it provides for some entertainment!!! Oh boy, that just sounded shallow. Maybe I am sheltered! Well, see you next time!

Hmmmmm....again!

Hey ya'll . I just got over having a double wammy of the flu and seriously wished I could die. But now I'm back.

I got my car fixed. Cost over $300. $300 which I don't have. Not cool. I'm seriously ticked.

Well, its that time of year. The Christmas music is really raking on my last nerve. Everydays mail is filled with peoples gaggy Christmas letters and family photos where everybody has a crazed look on their face. Call me cynical. Call me the Grinch. But I'm not in the holiday spirit this year. I think I've been in a bad mood the last 6 months.

Last night our youth group went to the nursing home where my grandma is to sing Christmas carols. I shook a ladys hand but she pulled back and screamed cuz my hand was cold. I was told not to kill her. That was alittle embarassing. It lifted my spirits though. Well, thats about all. See ya next time!!!!

Hmmm.......

Well, I've been kinda busy lately, so thats why I haven't been around.

Thanksgiving was good. Pretty quiet. We had my grandma and my aunt and uncle over for lunch.

Today was the last day of the first trimester. Man, where does the time go? My class next tri is first period so I have to get up earlier, which I'm not too thrilled about. I guess I'll just have to suck it up:)

My car konked out on me yesterday. All of a sudden I couldn't turn the steering wheel, which to me didn't seem like a good thing. So I pulled over to the side of the road and pulled out my handy cell phone ( don't you love modern technology? especially when you have a junker car? )
I called my mom to come pick me up. Wait, why did my font change? Darn it!!
Anyways, turns out my power stearing hose is shot and I can't even make it 6 miles without it going dry. Its in getting fixed now and I'm without my car for a couple of days. I have to use the big family suburban. Now thats cool!! ( umm... that was meant sarcastically ) I can't even get out of the school parkin' lot with that beast unless I park in the very back row.

We're going to a different church now. The one we were going to was weird and we finally had it. We're now going to the Baptist church where we already go for youth group. I'm so excited. The people there are so happy and friendly. Our old church was so oppressive and there was no joy there. It was a bunch of rules and " do's " and "don'ts" . It was starting to turn me against Christianity. Ever since we started going to youth group I've gotten more and more on fire for the Lord. I'm excited to go to church now. And thats so awesome!!!!

Tomorrow night, we're having a big slumber party. It'll be nine girls with tons of munchies,junk food, chick flicks and absolutely NO guys in the house. My dad and brothers are going to stay over at my Grandmas house cus they can't stand the thought of being in the house with that many girls!!!! Oh yeah!!! Should be pretty sweet!!!!!!!!!!

Oh No!!! The Hole In The Ozone Layer Is Getting Bigger!!!!!

O.K. , so I was reading the label on the back of my shower gel. It sai: Contains No CFC's or other substances which deplete the ozone layer.

Whew!!! That is such a comfort to know. My main concern when purchasing the shower gel was, " I hope I don't deplete the ozone layer and worsen global warming."

I'm glad I'm not singlehandedly putting a bigger hole in the ozone layer:)
