You can't tell but I am typing to you from a new computer. If you didn't heard I "fried the mother board" of my old laptop! Who knew you had a mother board in your computer and that it is so vital to the existence of a computer....any hoo... it broke the week before finals no less. Thankfully I had saved all my files for school on a separate disk! Let that be a lessson to you all. Save. Save. Save.
I had been researching them for a couple weeks before I made my decision, which really isn't bad for me! Right?!
I purchased a Gateway M-1617 Notebook (I only tell you this now so your first reactions can be made out of my site.)...it has lots of features that I am excited about included a 1.3 webcam that I haven't figured out how to use yet but should be fun. My wireless is working without a problem which is wonderful! I couldn't package a computer online for the price I got so I am happy for now. I have to remember there will always be bigger and better deals coming along! Oh well. I almost let my ego get in the way and purchase a 17" screen but I came to my senses and put my money in twice as much memory and hard drive (as consumer reports mentioned!). Whew, close one!
I am pumped to have the Geek Squad available to me at a moments notice as well! Today my assistant Matt was hot so there you go. Hot Geeks! ha!
I would like to thank my roommate for dealing with me and my computer needs during the time of my transition! Let me know how I can return the favor at any time. Loveya.
Happy Birthday Grandpa B! Love ya!

I am a nerd...
so many things to blog about but only one thing on my mind....
WHEN WILL THIS SEMESTER EVER END?!?!?!
So the horrible weather got in the way. Not that I wouldn't mind a snow day, but not at the end of semester and not for the final! Enough stress at the end of semester no need to delay that! For real!
First the roads...those weathermen...They freak out of the slightest of events. The roads never even iced in Wichita! The roads were safe for all the kids to jump in the rain puddles as they passed the long hours free from school. Don't get me wrong I am happy for the small children and their hard-working teachers (shout out Holly!). But WSU I expected better! During finals week no less.
Second..I guess the weather wouldn't have really mattered in my situation. My professor had an unexpected death in the family and informed the class she will not be in to give the test the rest of this week. This only creates a problem if you fly out of town Saturday and will be gone for the week. I have planned this vacation to Arizona with my family for months. I am not missing out on sunny Arizona and family and friends, especially for a Patho final. Is it kosher to call the Prof about my schedule dilemma in her time of sorrow? I am praying to get something worked out this week! Any time.. I will work all night then take the test even. I am not complaining. I hate to drag this mess any longer! Can a Prof fail me cause I can't make the make-up date of the final? Will I lose my spot in the nursing program??? Ahhh...headache!!
Third... I have never have met more of a nerd then myself! Who gets so worked up about a delayed final? For real!
THE END!

August is here
So its been a while......yikes...moving on...
Jodi is back in the States. Back from SST! Brings back my own memories of return and culture shock. Mom and Dad are spoiling away! Laundry and El Rodeo, oh my! I get to see her on Saturday so I am pumped! Actually Saturday the whole family comes and we wisk away to the magical place of Colorado.....Rocky Mountain Mennonite Camp....for a fun filled week at family camp! I can't wait. We will stay in cabins this year, no tents. Amie is along for the ride. So that makes us six.
August means school....just can't avoid the thought much longer. I paid my tution and for all my books in one day! Ouch that was a BIG hit! I am taking Patho and Drug this semester....yep those are expensive and BIG books. I throughly researched and bought them online for the best prices deals. True Mennonite shopper.
A bridge shouldn't just fall down and yet it did yesterday in Minneapolis... my prayers are with the families and victums. We think we have problems in our lives and then stories like this come along....humbling.

Table Rock Lake
I love the lake!
We had a marvelous time! Laying out at the dock, sunbathing, swimming, canoeing, fishing, discovering Tessie (the lake monster), singing, listening to Alice, being buzzed, skinny dipping, rain dancing, rain jumping, crawdad catching, laughing, road tripin'!
What a blast!

The Lake
Off for the week-end to that big lake in Missouri....you know Table Rock Lake!
The plan is not to move from my water raft all week-end and soak up the wonderful sun!
ROAD TRIP!

SPECIAL!
Any one heard of 38 Special? Well me neither before tonight really but thanks to my fun coworkers I went to their live concert! What a fun time...the alcohol helped...
I was prepared for the drinking and the biker look... but not all the mohawks. Wow to see so many in one place! Wow! I was also innocent to the true effects of second smoke and the hint of weed in that smoke! I think I got some what high... nahh...I imagine it different.
The concert itself was a blast. My coworkers are crazy but if my favorite band was still touring after 30 years and rocking like they did when they started then I would go crazy too!
Rocking in to the night! Rockin' into the night!

Top friends
No better place than a blog to admit to my vices...and one of those is definetly facebook....all the networking, posting, messaging, innocent stalking, pictures......you get it..... and I am sure you do it too. I can't say facebook has been all bad. I have been able to get in touch with high school friends I had lost track of for years. In one case my best friend in fifth grade from Tucson found me on facebook! Funtimes and lots of catching up!
But I have some beef with facebook! I long for the orginal facebook....the one without advertisements, movies, songs............and especially without TOP FRIENDS!!! This is the most ridiculous thing I have heard of......really it is only cause for disater...how can you rank your friends? Each relationship is different and special in its own way. This topic came up at East Hall one time when Alyssa shared her concept of "tiered" friends. Anyone besides me remember these conversations? Best friends = First tier, not so best friends = second tier........so which tier are the enemies? (Of course you are so loveable you probably do not have any!) I remember dissing the concept and yet secretly wishing I would be rank somewhere on the high side!
Am I the only one that sees this "Top Friends" as a recipe for disater??!!!

True colors
Yikes...so it is already 3 days after the blog started and I am not keeping up as well as planned...but here is my rationale: I just don't want to overwhelm you with my wisdom and thoughts to early in the game....its is like dating you don't show your true colors for about 3 months and then let your true colors fly!
So the word meandering just struck my fancy....really I don't know how valid of a word it is but my new re-found infatuation is Wikipedia.... what a gold mine of information but do beware anyone can post on there so it may not all be the most accurate information. Take a look at the word meander though for instance...I think it describes my life to a T right now....try to go the straight and narrow path like the stream and the world gets in the way and causes it to bend and well.....just meander. That is life right now and I plan to enjoy every part of my meandering!

to do
So after alot of thought and consideration, I decided it was time to move up and on in the world and start a blog. Sorry, xanga just wasn't cutting it any more. I have so many people to thank for helping me move on in life!
I don't know exactly what I am going to do with this blog yet, but I figure I can make it up as I go along. Probably just give you links to read cooler blogs than mine (to be introduced later) or give you important medical advice and update.
I only hope I can live up to all the hopes and dreams that go in to a blog. What can I say....it was on my list of things to do.
