Today, Barb is: a little bit on the cool side, but that would make sense since it is COLD outside.
i thought it was supposed to be spring. what a load of mularky.
On Friday night I was exposed to the new love in my life, Minnesota RollerGirls!
It is now my mission to drag every last one of my friends to a bout atleast once in their lives.
Other than that I don't have a whole lot of new things to report in my life.
I did happen to find this one thing online....I find it interesting, and I have joined. Will you?
Remember Horton Hears a Who? All the Who's make a noise at the same time, and even though they are small they get heard? A number of us bloggers want to try an experiment. We want to gather 30,000 bloggers together to shout all at once, and see how loudly we get heard. Why 30,000? Because that is the number of people originally represented by 1 congressional district in the United States. It is a small number when you think of it, but it can have a huge voice.
Interested?
Go here.

Yea so i am not smart enough to figure out how to make the little 'here' button pop it up. Sue me.
Just a random thing,
apparently Arnold Schwartenegger and Rush Limbaugh are attacking each other. One seems to think the other is a 'closet liberal' !!!!!!!!

Today, Barb is: having to go to the bathroom!
to much information?
i don't care.
so there isn't a whole lot new in the life of barb.
still has her cute little car!
going to be moving into an apartment with her friends Eric and Ryan in August.
saving money for all the things that i will need to buy for my apartment.
list being
-new tires (maybe)
-new computer
-new bed and frame
-other random furniture that will probably be from Ikea since it is kinda cheap
-other random stuff that is needed to decorate the new place
that is just the tip of the iceberg.
more lists will come as it gets closer to moving time.
good news is that they are going to let us paint! they have 6 specific colors that they let us chose from (becasue if we use those, we don't have to pay for it is get repainted) and they are going to buy us the first gallon!
other than that, things are still going well.
not working at the Depot anymore. enjoying having nights and weekends to myself. we will see how it goes with the new place. right now my budget is looking good. enough to pay for everything and still be saving. but if i got a part time job, then i would have more money to put away and save for a townhome.
ok. barb over and out!

Today, Barb is: needing your help!
My bank is starting a new Remote Deposit Capture product!
The bank I work for will be offering a new product early this Summer which will enable our Commercial Deposit Account customers to make their deposits without ever having to leave their place of business. They will have a scanner at their place of business and throughout the day they can run the checks they receive through this scanner and electronically submit their deposit to us. All without ever having to fill out a deposit ticket or leave their business to come to the bank. They’ll also have until 7:00 p.m. (I will confirm the exact time at a later date) to make these deposits.
Some ideas so far are:
Desktop Banker
Banking…when you want, where you want
Branches? You say where and when!
Your bank
Your branch
Your location
Be your own bank
-----------------------------------------------------------
So anyone out there have a good idea? I would love it! :-)

Today, Barb is: feeling lonely, oh so lonely.
not really.
but i am wondering if people even read this any more. or if this is just one of those blogs that is published and is never found by anyone in cyber space.
maybe i should start saying profound things, or talk about my experiences at work.
naaaah, that wouldn't be me!
so i hope you all had a good valentines day.
i went out with some ladies from work and we had a good time.

Today, Barb is: feeling like a change is in the air, and diggin it.
so i have decided that i am in the mood for a change.
since the person who gives me my needed directives is out for the day, i really dont' have much to do. so i decided to update my blog, if you couldn't tell.
i am feeling better which is always a good thing!
i still have some nose and throat things going on, but i am sneezing and coughing crap up, so atleast it is getting out of my system.
not much else is going on.
i still love my car!
i still really like my job!
the 'rents are going a a cruise in a couple weeks so i will be watching the homestead to make sure nothing goes wrong.
i still need to get my pics up from atlanta, and then i need to take pics of the aveo and put those up also!
by the by, i am still looking for names for the aveo, and thoughts? let me know.

Today, Barb is: wishing she could rip her nose off and drain it.
so i am sick.
stuffed nose, the ear thing which leads into TMJ.
i went and got my car yesterday.
i love it alot.
it is identical to my brother joes car.
i didn't realize that it would be. i figured it was close, but not a dang replica.
oh well, yet another aspect that i have copied my eldest brother in.

Today, Barb is: working at a gold mine, goin' down down down.
so technically, a bank could be considered a gold mine.
but whatever.
So this is my 4th day here at the bank and I enjoy it.
It is starting to make more and more sense the more and more that I do the things that I am going to be doing. I am balancing the ATM, balancing the cash in the morning from the day before, opening new accounts i.e. CDs, checking, savings etc, and dealing with the incoming and outgoing wires.
Those are just some of the things that I am going to be doing. But so far I really like the people I work with, and I really like the customers that I have encountered.
So needless to say, Barb is having a good time with her full time job.
Other than that, there isnt a whole lot. As you all know I graduated.
My mom and I went down to the ATL for our trip. I will try and get all my pictures up on my site for everyone.
That is another thing, Joe paid for my picture site so there is another year of updated pictures (hopefully). I am still working at Home Depot on the weekends. Hopefully I will be able to keep that going and bank everything I make at the Bank and then hopefully live off of what I make at Home Depot. That is hopefully my plan.
Ok, well time is winding down and it is starting to get to be quiting time. I will be back eventually. Hope all is well for everyone~!

Today, Barb is: hungry, sad, happy, and excited all at once.
confused?
well, there are reasons for all of them.
First, I am hungry. Well I consider that self-explanatory, I haven't eaten breakfast and so now at 11am I am hungry.
Sad? Barb is sad because Wisconsin passed the marrige ban. It was hyped up as being a ban against gay marrige. But the reality of it is, that it will affect straight people to. It basically says that only one man and one woman can legally be married and have all the rights and benefits. What they don't tell you is that it takes away all the benefits that straight couples who are in committed relationships have also. Not to mention that gay marrige is illegal in WI now, which is wrong, because I am pretty sure that it is using the constitution to discriminate!
Happy!! Happy? Happy. Happy because Donald is out, us Democrats have both the House and the Senate, and it is a major turning point for our country.
Excited!?!?!?!
Barb gets to spend time with Erin and Matt tonight! I am going to hang out with them tonight, play some Chibi-robo and have a grand ole time.
la'er!

Today, Barb is: back within the same week for a second post!
so. the computer that i own (and my brother/s built for me when i graduated from high school over five years ago) is sorta kinda a peice of crap. i am trying to decide (with Joe's help) if i just want to upgrade it or if i just want to bite the big bullet and buy a new laptop. take into consideration that i am saving money becaue i am living at home with my parents, but that is offset by the increase in gas expenditures. but i am still saving money. that i am hoping will be able to go to a car/house/living expences when i find a new job. i would be able to deal with spending a few hundred to get the desktop updated. but i do fully enjoy the thoughts of having a laptop that i can drag around with me a heck of a lot easier than the desktop.
so. the question arises.
do i upgrade my desktop?
do i wait until thanksgiving/christmas and buy a cheapy generaric laptop?
do i wait until thanksgiving/christmas and buy a newer kinda on sale laptop?
do i go on craigslist and try to get one there?
i will be more than willing to take a poll and find out.
so... GO

Today, Barb is: going crazy because of a stupid eye twitch!!!
so it is official, i have had this eye twitch for over 24 hours and it is really starting to bother me! i don't know why it is twitching, but it is the first time it has ever happened.
eye twitch + barb + long time! = annoyance!
so far school is going good. we are about a third of the way through which means i will be graduating soon.
there isn't really a whole lot to report.
still living at home, still working at Home Depot, just hanging in there.

the world may continue spinning, barb is back!
ok. so i know that it has been a while since i have last posted, ok.. so it has been a LONG WHILE. i have finally slowed myself down a bit and am sitting at a computer for longer than 10 minutes. why? becuase school started!!!
but i am getting ahead of myself a bit here. lets go back to my last post and catch you all up on what has been going on with me lately.
so i started working at the Home Depot (sorry christie, there is no discount unfortunatley, i dont even get a discount and i work there, so i am not going to be able to hook you up with anything, sorry!)
i do enjoy it there. more so the people that i work with rather than the actual job, because standing on cement for 8 hours a day is really not fun. the customers are too bad. there are the few here and there that make me want to slam their face into the cement blocks they are purchasing, but for the most part, i love my customers.
i did finish with all three of my classes for the summer. i got two B's and an a. A WHAT?????!?!?!?! an A!!!
so yea.
i have officially moved back home with the parents. it is kinda scary, but it needs to be done. money will be saved more of, but slightly more spent on gas for commuting 4 days a week. the moving part wasn't to horrible, because i have AMAZING friends; Erin, Matt and John. They came and helped move me out of the apartment and into the parents house. they are some of the best friends a girl could wish for! but they are all going to be busy during december and january so they won't be able to come with me to do any traveling. so, i am looking for a new travel buddy and possibly a new travel destination. i haven't written the west coast off yet, but there are quite a few states that i haven't been to yet.
lets see, so today is the last first day of school for me!!!
and to celebrate mom took me to IHOP for breakfast. it was ok food, but the waitress totally forgot about us and we didn't get anything to drink until after the food came. we had our juice before we had our water!
and then today was my first day, but my real first class was cancelled, i don't know why, but i got an email a week ago from the prof saying that we weren't going to have class until friday morning. so that meant that my first class was BOWLING! i was super super excited, but alas upon arrival of the teacher he talked for 10 minutes and then sent us on our way. no bowling for barb :-(
i have two more classes today, my enemy math. Stats actually and then Small Business Management also later tonight. so yea. i have a full schedule when it actually gets going in full swing. i did spend 15 minutes getting my whole schedule into my Palm so i have it programmed to tell me where i need to be at and where i need to be going.
i think this will be all for now.
i hope you have all had your fill of me. i may be back today, i may be back tomorrow, i may not be back for a month. you never know.
