Today, Barb is: excited for tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why you might ask?
Well! Let me just tell you my schedule!
Listen up, there will be a test at the end.

9 am - work at the bank ( i know, you are all thinking, what the crap? why is she excited about having to go to work on a saturday morning of all things? But, I got thursday afternoon off and it gives me a chance to do most of my monday morning stuff so i get an easier day!)

noon - come home and take a nap.
yeah for naps! just me, my bed, my cats and maybe a book!

4ish - meet my friends for an early dinner. we are meeting at Pizza Luce where i have never actually been, but have heard nothing but good things about.

after pizza, going to go and stand in line for RollerGirls!!!! they are giving away free water bottles to the first like 400 people and i intend to get one!

Minnesota RollerGirls are having their last bout for the season and I am dragging a few of my buds along with me! after that there is a possiblity of heading over to the after bout party at O'Garas in Saint Paul.

yeah for barb and her fun plans!

now the hard part.
what will barb be doing on Sunday?

HA!
i didn't tell you that part! But i told you there was going to be a quiz!

Today, Barb is: feeling the cuteness!
so i went and got my hair cut.
i'm not gonna lie, i look cute!

4.18.2007

Today, Barb is: confused and cold.

ok so i know that everyone and their mother are talking about the Virgina Tech shooting.
it is a given.
if you haven't heard about it, you are either
a - living under a rock - or -
b - ignoring every possible stimuli option (radio, tv, internet, newspaper)

basically a guy went crazy and killed a bunch of people.

so the thing that sort of bothers me is the fact that there are people calling for the resignation of the president of the school and the chief of police. they did not kill anyone!
they didn't do anything other than have the misfortune of being in a place of power when a troubled young man decided to make some horrible choices.

i went to a smaller school.
the only reason that i knew the president is because i worked on campus at a very visable job, and i was really active on student senate and she made a point of being involved with it.

a normal student really didn't have a whole lot of interaction with my president, even though she was called the 'students chancellor' (we call our university presidents, chancellors, but for the sake of this i have changed to president, and when our chancellor died and the replacement came in, we didn't see him a whole lot)

there is no way that the president or chief of police can be held responsible. there is no way in the whole world that they would have been able to change anything that happened. was it their responsibility to talk to every single student? granted there was the teacher who was worried about him, so there was some sort of warning flag, but on a university campus, it is hard to keep in touch with every single teacher and student.

ok. there is my rant for the day.
over and out 10-4 good buddy!

4.11.2007

Today, Barb is: dreaming of a white... um... a white.... Memorial day?

WHAT THE CRAP!
So it is April 11th 2007. Let me double check that. Yep April. And we have snow. Snow. FREAKIN SNOW!
What is going on?
Who can I blame?

Myself becuase of the increased rate of global warming?
Mother Nature?
WHO?

Other than that I have one thing for you people out there.
When you are walking into a bank and are talking on a cell phone. Be kind and hang the damn thing up!!!! If you are interacting with someone else take the cell phone away from your face and give that person your full undivided attention!!!

'nough said.

Today, Barb is: having the song, My Sharona running through her head alllll day long.

so yea.

first off we had this guy who came in to get his interest from his cd and he smelled like a combination of ammonia and what i would expect embaling fluid to smell like. needless to say i was VERY GLAD when he left my desk and i was able to spray my disinfecting stuff.

second we have gotten the paternity results and for all you out there in cyberland, Larry is the father of Anna Nicoles baby. That is the blond guy, if anyone cares.

thirdly, i forget how much i LOVE john stewart. I know that i always enjoy watching him and the Daily Show, but i always forget to watch it. but the past few days i have been able to watch it. love it. that is all i can say.

fourth,
if you haven't heard, then you haven't talked to me lately but
I AM GONNA BE AN AUNTIE!!!!
Can you tell that i am excited?
Yep ladies and gentlemen, my wonderful lovely sister-in-law Kim is pregnant!
Come October, I will be an auntie. It seems that October is the baby month becasue that is when my best friend growing up is having her baby (whoo hooo Erin!!!!) and that is also the month (i think) that my other friends Cori and Brett are going to have poppin out their second kid!!!

October is just going to be a baby filled month for me, and I can't wait! :-)

that is all.
barb is over and out.

Today, Barb is: thinking that Mother Nature is going hormonal!!!!!

snow, rain, nice weather, back to rain and then snow again.

either mother nature is going crazy or she is punishing us for something we have all done.

ok so three things.

i was watching John Stewart last night and remembered why i love him so much.
i had two other things that i was going to talk about but now i can't remember what they are. they will come to me.
later maybe.
