Today, Barb is feeling: tired

so i mowed the lawn today.
it was good to get out and do some good nice hard labor for once in a long while.
i think that i need to start going back to It Figures. i really liked going there and working out and working up a good sweat.

on Friday i get to work at the Taste of Minnesota with Security.
I will NOT sprain my ankle this time.
just in case, i am bringing a list of all possible numbers i could need just in case.

i think that is a good idea.
and if anyone wants to do something Saturday night, i am available. i work in the morning. but only until 10 am.

Today, Barb is feeling: very popular!!!!

i got three whole posts yesterday!!!!!!!!
it was a great feeling.

so i went to the doctor today, and guess what?
Im SICK!
imagine that! (notice all dripping sarcasam)

but so i got these monster horse pills that i have to take, 2 pills three times a day. bleck. but its not a shot! :-)

guess what today was?
tuesday was joe's birthday!
that is my brother joe and WHHEEEEEE!
he is 27 years old today. 27 years old! 27 YEARS OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAARRRRRRHHHHHHH
he is so old now! it is scary.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE

i worked today. and i work tomorrow.
it was kinda weird. i am more used to high paced work environments. but all i did for 4 hours was walk around and talk to people. and get paid for it. other than my feet hurting a little bit now, it was AWESOME.

Today, Barb is feeling: better than yesterday because of 2 things!

and those two things are Chipotle and a shirt

first things first, big ups to Chipotle in woodbury! they gave me a free fajita!
why you ask?
because i had the right space in line and it was taking like20 mins for the people to get the money drawer changed, and so the guy (also the store manager) gave my my fajita for FREE!!!!!!!!!
yea for me and chipotle!
and of course, if it weren't for kristene for taking me to my first chipotle, i would not be here today!
and everytime i eat a fajita, i think of Kristene and Jim.

and the rest of the blog is devoted to, my new shirt! (two new shirts to be exact)
so today was my first day at Best Buy, actually working there.
and i was told to wear a blue polo shirt if i could find one.
no problem i thought.
for those of you who know my dad, you know that he has a major shirt collection. so i figured that i can get a shirt from him and wash it and have it back in his closet before he gets back from Saipan. well i found one. it was perfect! and they were all impressed today that i had a shirt that color and everything. but then, there was this guy Forest. that is his name, Forest. and he was talking to me, (he is totally adorable too!) and waslike,
"we need to get you a real Best Buy shirt. not just a blue one"
and it is amazing what a shirt will do for a persons attitude. i felt like one of the gang and customers talked to me and actually paid attention to me!

Today, Barb is feeling: like people need to care more about ME

COMMENT PEOPLE!
comment i say!

Today, Barb is feeling: like jamming a pencil in my nose so i can breathe

i can't breathe thru my nose.
i was able to for a while and it comes and goes, but mostly not.
I got to see where Kim works last night.
She decided to koker (sp???) home from work last night (21 miles) and so she needed to get back and get her car, so i drove her. it was fun. nice kim-barb bonding time. it i hadn't been sick we would have gone and done something! but i decided to come home instead and sleep so i would be good to go for training this morning at Best Buy. and guess what? Kim did an ear thing on me, and i have the beginnings of an ear infection in one ear. i have proof because she printed my report out for me!!!

i was at best buy at 8 am. i was the ONLY one there. apparently there was supposed to be another guy there, but he didnt show up. so i was all alone for training. it was rather boring. i got to watch some weird DVDs that Best Buy makes..... it wasnt' so bad once i found out that i was getting paid for it.

so i offically have a job now. i get to start tomorrow too! from 10 am until 2pm. so mom - i hope you found someone to do the lector for you becaue i won't be at church tomorrow. i will be at work.

someone needs to come and take care of me!

Today, Barb is feeling: like having an alien bore through my brain to make me feel better

i am sick
i am sick and tired and achy
i am sick , tired, achy and just not good in general.
and where are my parents who should be here to take care of me??

they are half way across the world in Saipan with Jim and Kristene.
and i am here at home, sick and alone.

so i called the doctors office and i have an appointment on monday at 10:30 am to see him and see if i need anything or not. in the meantime, i am coughing up, blowing out, and sneezing all over to get the crap out of my body.

i have to be at Best Buy at like, really early tomorrow morning for training. i have a feeling that i will either get like 12 hours of sleep or only like 4 before hand.

its really weird becaues my head is all congested and everything, and so one of my ears is plugged also. so it is like being half deaf. i dont' like it. and i can't plug my nose and open my ears, so it is just another sign that i am sick.



special thanks go out to my cuz Christie. for being the first person to give me a comment. !!!
you made my day cuz!!!!

Today, Barb is feeling: like i might have something to do this summer!

so i had to go into Best Buy today to sign all my paperwork and everything. that means that i ACTUALLY have a job! and i get to show up there tomorrow at 10 am and do what.. im not totally sure, but i get to do something!

and hey!
did you all notice that you can comment now?

Today, Barb is feeling: amazing!

with no help from ANYONE, i have been given the power to comment!
whee haaaa baby!

i am a genius goddess!

Today, Barb is feeling: wheeeee!

so today guess what i did?
i finally watched Finding Nemo!
yea i know, i haven't seen it yet and am a lazy bum who won't go and rent a movie that she wants to see.

speaking of movies....
i want to see a bunch of them this summer!!!!
first and fore most is "Saved!" i think it looks freakin hysterical and so so so so so so so good!
then what other movies do i want to see.....
there are a bunch of them that i want to see, but i don't seem to remember them right now. i will remember them later and write them down again.

Today, Barb is feeling: G-R-E-A-T!!!!!

so finally!
yessterday i called Best Buy, and they never got back to me, so i called again today.
and guess what?!?!?!?!?!
i got a job!
wheeeeeeeeee

after calling and what i feel like is harrassing, i finally got the news that i passed the drug test and everything, (which i knew would happen, but the whole waiting for anything i can't handle.) and they told me that they will call me back on Saturday when the GM is there with a new employee training day for me to get in there and get workign!

yeah for me!

Today, Barb is feeling: hot, sticky and sweaty

so today has been all hot and yucky. i swear it got up to like the 90's or so! i took a shower around noonish, and it is almost like it never happened!
i am dog and house sitting for this lady Ruth, and the dogs get to sleep in the basement where it is nice and cool. if there were a bed down there for me, that is where i would be too.

so yea, i haven't been here in a really long time and i am sorry about that.
i have been busy moving, packing, unpacking, and trying to find a job. but guess what?
i was offered a job at Best Buy! I will be working in the Media section, that is the CDs and DVDs. i am going to call them tomorrow and see what is up. i went and took a drug test on last tuesday, and sence i know that i will pass it, i just need to figure out why they haven't called. the lady at the drug testing center said they would get back to me in 1-3 days. i had to assume that was business days and 3 days would have been friday. so since they didn't call my home or cell today, i am calling them tomorrow.

lets see....
"If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball."
great quote from one of the many summer movies that i want to see, Dodgeball - A true underdog story.

so i got to work at the Conventin Center doing security a few days ago, and i got to do security for the john Edwards show thing. he is the guy on tv who communicates with the dead. i got to see him from like about 40 feet away. it was kinda cool. but as i was standing guarding the people, there were these 4 ladies from Iowa who had come up to see him. they were 3 sisters and a sister in law. they were really cool and nice to hang out with and chat with for the 4 hours that we were waiting for the doors to open.

have i mentioned that i have put on like 5 layers of deoterant and it feels like it hasn't helped at all?

but so we were all chatting for the hours and it wasn't as bad as it could have been.
then 2 days later, i was supposed to go back and work, but i didn't. i was in so much pain!
all i wanted was my mommy to make the pain go away! and she did and it did! she wins the prize for best mom in the whole gosh darned world. wanna know why?
she brought me midol. aahhhhh, itsn't she great?

i need to email my uncle rodney again.
for those of you who don't correspond with me,
i have a tedency to write an email to someone that i haven't talked to in a while, and when tthy respond, we will either write back and forth for a while like once a day, or occasionally, but then i will forget who send the last email, and get confused and forget to write another one.

yea, i wish i had a memory like an elephant. i rmemeber reading this book at some point in time, i think it was grade school. i am pretty sure it was either at my elementary or my moms elementaryt that i read this book. it was about these bears who needed to find their plane tickets and so they had this elephant come over and try to help them remember. they got to put on these fake elephant trunks.
- i don't totally remember why that book stands out in my memory, but it does.

so this is long.
and i hot, tired and sweaty, and i think i need a second shower today.
or maybe i will just cover myself in deoterant. i have been contemplating that all day.
