Last night after watching two movies at the theater with Anne, I was excited to hit the mattress and hoped to drift off to sleep quickly. I work every Sunday from 9:30 to 6, so I try to rest up so I am chipper on the job. So why is it, when I want to fall asleep the most, I can't? I tossed and turned for what seemed like hours and my head spun around numerous thoughts about nothing that mattered. I wasn't making grocery list or deciding what I was going to wear, I was thinking about nothing really. Nothing that was going to help the day or upcoming week go easier. I wasn't making goals, or middle of the night promises to myself to improve... that would have been worth while in a sense. My brain was depriving myself of sleep for pointlessness.
I had decided that Sunday (today) was going to be my big day. I was going to start working out more often, make my eating habits healthier than ever, and make improvements on the apartment. It was going to be the first day of the rest of my life. BUT this morning I woke up and snoozed my alarm so many times that I needed to set a new one because it timed out. Oh, and I woke up with a snuffy nose. I took so much time out of my morning by oversleeping, I had to grab a granola bar for breakfast, instead of the bowl of oatmeal I was hoping to have. So now I am hungry, sleep deprived, and I have a headache.
Maybe I will just make tomorrow be the first day of the rest of my life....

Back to the real world...
I just got off the phone with my boss, Dan. He asked me how life in the great tundra was, in one word... AMAZING.
The great tundra he was referring to was Silver Bay. I went up to my parents on December 21st, and was around the North Shore for until last Thursday. The time flew and I am back in Rochester still trying to figure out how it is already almost the middle of January 2009!!!
Let's play catch up:
There was a snowstorm the day of the Wright's Christmas Party, so my family decided it was bast to stay in Rochester. It was a bummer to miss it, but as traffic reports came in later that evening, I think everyone was relieved we decided to stay safe and sound in the apartment.
My mom's family Christmas was in the Cities the following day, and the weather was on our side, and we were able to enjoy ourselves at my aunt's that Sunday afternoon. It was nice to see my cousin's kids, that are four of the world's cutest!After the gift exchange was done, my parents and I headed North, and Anne headed back to Rochester alone.
After the LONG drive north, I was ready for bed!!! Greeted at the door by my faithfully loyal cat I hulled my three suitcases into the guest bedroom, and slept like a rock! The next day, I visited with Miranda for a bit then headed to Coho to wait tables and chat with locals. It felt great to be back at the cafe, and the tips made it even better! After work I went over to Anna and Mike's house for a little gossip with Anna. Found out the latest from the Bluefin world, and for such a little place there is always a lot to learn!!! The bast part of the night was actually in a form of a question... will I be the Godmother of the baby they are expecting?!?!? OF course!!! I am stoked to be able to spoil little Mike JR. Yes, it's a boy!!!
That night I went back to Quincy's where Miranda was having a few friends over for games and cookies. I don't think I got there until around two, but the two Mirms still had energy!!! They never fail to amaze me with their hilarity. I learned the Miranda way to play Macala, and though I know they are completly wrong with the rules, it amazes me that they both really thought it was the right way. The version of the game is fun, but really confusing. Play with one of them sometime, and they will kick your butt.
Okay, so I realize that this post is already getting very long so now I am just going to cover the highlights:
-- Anne was able to come up for Christmas, and the family went to mass on Christmas Eve. I helped decorate the church earlier that week, and it looked nice. We all had a part in making Christmas dinner, and everyone got the items on their wish lists, so we were all happy!
-- Coho was busy, and the few shifts I picked up, the tips were good! :)
--Molly and I are both really poor planners, so as New Year's approached, neither of us could make final plans. Unfortunately, for the first time in a few years, we rang in the new year without each other. My New Year's was spent in Tofte, and was really low-key. Anna and I spent the evening watching movies, playing games, drinking non-alkies (have to keep my baby--in her tummy-- healthy!!!), and of course pigging out!!! It was a perfect way to start the New Year, except for a slight problem with my eye.
Something must have gotten into it, because it was red, swollen and watering. It was like a sore thumb for about a week, but it is finally feeling better! I haven't tried wearing my contact quite yet, but I think it shouldn't be a problem.
-- In 2009, I finally got to see my Molly!!! We hadn't gotten together since BEFORE she left for Italy, and even our families started to get anxious about us getting together. She came North the Saturday after New Years, and practically moved into my parent's house. We went and saw Emma, and her not-so-new puppy, Bella.
-- Anne's 25 birthday was the 5th, and we had a low-key celebration the 4th and the 5th. Enjoyed lunch with Shawn and baby Aiden at the Lemon Wolf, and a dinner at Coho. I had never been a dinner diner at Coho, and it was nice to be served rather than the server!!!
-- Molly and I went bowling with her mom... and it had been a while since I ACTUALLY bowled, and although I may be awesome at Wii, I barely broke 100 at the alley. Not going pro anytime soon, but it was a blast. I also learned how to bowl the "right way". using two lanes at once. Since it was just the three of us everyone was almost constantly bowling. That same day we headed over to the high school to watch the boy's and girl's basketball games. The girls started out good, but something happened in the second half and they were smashed, BUT the boys played awesomely and won a close game. It was fun to be able to catch the game, I haven't watched silver bay basketball since I was a member of the team!!!
-- That week Molly and I had plans to be lazy at her family's home on Park Point with her mom. Unfortunately, Loranda's step-dad passed away, so before we were able to enjoy our time at Casa Bay (the cute name they came up with for the house), Loranda had to head down to the Cities. Molly had an othro apt. on Thursday morning, so the two of us stayed at the house and hung out. I have to say, it was HARD to leave. Very hard. I could move into that house. Leaving the house also meant saying good-bye to Molly. At least now that she's back in the country we can text again!
Being back in Rochester means my vacation is over. My room is a mess, school is starting tomorrow, there is laundry to do, and I still have to buy my books!!! I am also looking for another part time job, because I only get a few shifts per week at the club. I have a feeling I will be busy this week!!!
As I had originally planned on being back at Northgate yesterday, I had to find a last minute replacement to cover my shift. Anne had been wanting to make it to Vatican Splendors in the cities, and Saturday was the only day that worked for the whole family. So we all met up in the Cities to view the exhibit. It was really cool being able to learn about the Vatican, and the history behind it all. Mom also came with a box full of stuff I had forgotten at the house.. OOPS!
So now I am back at work, obviously working hard by the length of this post!! I am already missing the Lake, the people, the life. Can't wait to sneak north sometime soon!!

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas...
For such a busy time of year, I am surprisingly laid back. Anne and I got the Christmas tree up a few weeks ago. Since I am a perfectionist, it looks amazing! I haven't gotten any Christmas baking done, but maybe I can squeeze some in this week. I only have finals in one of my classes this semester, so when everybody else is stressing big time, I am pretty stress free!
With the new year coming, I am trying to take time to reflect on my future. Ick. I don't really enjoy living in Rochester. I feel like I am too far away from everybody. I love living with Anne, but that is about all the pros Rochester has. I signed up for all online course for the spring semester so I will be more flexible, and hopefully have some extra time to really decide what I want to do. I thought occupation therapy was the ticket, but recently I have been rethinking my decision. I really wish someone would just give me a crystal ball; that would solve a lot of life's uncertainties.
The good thing about thinking about my future now is that I might not make a last minute decision like I usually do. I really want to move to Duluth, but before I make the decision to do so, I HAVE to determine what I am going to do with my future. I haven't decided yet, and all my possibilities don't even coincide with each other. My "plan" right now is: taking online courses through RCTC this spring, finding a better paying job in Rochester for January-April, working at Coho starting in April though August, and then moving to Duluth??? The moving to Duluth is the big question mark. I have to figure out what schools offer the best options for my career, once I figure out what that career is. Growing up is hard to do!!!
I am stoked for this week to be over! Once Friday is over, the fun begins! Saturday the Wrights get together for the Christmas party, and Sunday the Paulsons (Mom's side) get together for THEIR Christmas party. Both parties are in the cities, which is perfect because Molly flies back on Sunday too. I am hoping to be able to dip out on my family for a while to see Molly sometime Sunday night. After the weekend, I get to head up to the North Shore! I have been e-mailing Didi (my manager from Coho), and will be able to pick up a few shifts at Coho. I am excited to be able to make some extra cash, and, better yet, see all my favorite Bluefin employees!!! I have already been talking to people up there, and it looks like in my free time I will be able to play catch-up with old friends. What a wonderful time of year!
Well, I think I have managed to slack off enough here at work, so I better get back to it!

Holiday time is near..
Yesterday, Anne and I took the trip north to Hinckley to meet with my parents at Grand Casino for my mom's birthday. None of us walked aways big winners, but it was an enjoyable experience nonetheless it was great to meet with my parents and give my mom her gifts. During dinner my mom and dad gave Anne and me $40 bucks for Thanksgiving grocery shopping. It was then that I realized we are in the holiday season!!!
Even though the Holidays are quickly approaching, I find it hard to be in full Holiday Spirit. I wish that I would wake up one morning to a fresh blanket of snow that wouldn't melt by noon. I think growing up in Minnesota had programmed my mind into thinking there needs to be snow on the ground for it to truly be the holidays.
On my Christmas Wish List so far I have: the "new" Mason Jennings CD (he released sometime around May), a Ipod nano, and money to get my laptop fixed.
The nicest parts of these holidays: Molly coming back from Italy, working at Coho and living up North for a bit, a break from school!
This Thanksgiving it will be my first time having Thanksgiving at "my" place instead of my parent's. My parents are actually going to be coming south to Roch, so Anne and I are in charge of Thanksgiving! I don't know when we are going shopping, but I am excited. Although there are many elements to the Thanksgiving meal, the only ones that I NEED to have at mine are: turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, and pumpkin pie w/ whipped cream. Everything else is just extras to me.. but those are the ESSENTIALS!
I have a lot to do before I will be ready for the Holidays, but I know that they aren't going to wait for me to get everything in order. Anne and I haven't put up our Christmas tree yet, but we did decorate our sliding glass door with a cute penguin and a Christmas wreath. It's a start!

I haven't blogged in a while...
... so I am going to be lame and copy and paste something. I won't usually do this, but I love these "21 RULES TO LIVE BY".
ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.
THREE. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.
FOUR. When you say, 'I love you,' mean it.
FIVE. When you say, 'I'm sorry,' look the person in the eye.
SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.
SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight.
EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams don't have much. NINE. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.
TEN. In disagreements, fight fairly.. No name calling.
ELEVEN. Don't judge people by their relatives
TWELVE. Talk slowly but think quickly.
THIRTEEN. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, 'Why do you want to know?'
FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
FIFTEEN. Say 'bless you' when you hear someone sneeze.
SIXTEEN.. When you lose, don't lose the lesson.
SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; and Responsibility for all your actions.
EIGHTEEN. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
NINETEEN. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it. TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.
TWENTY- ONE. Spend some time alone.
I think these rules are worth living by; hope you found them worth reading!

The popping of the blogging cherry!
Evidently, another school year is in full swing. I have no clue what happened to the summer, but it has undoubtedly vanished. I figure with all the homework pilling up it is a perfect time to find another activity that will aid to my procrastination. (As if Facebook isn’t enough.) Well, why not give blogging a shot? It seemed like a good idea, so here I go.
Firstly, well rather secondly, I am not going to be any good at this. Consider yourself warned. I do tend to ramble, so you may end up reading a long blog about pretty much nothing. Sorry in advance.
Seeing since I can’t decide whether this would be thirdly or secondly, I will stop try to number my points. It is a rather annoying habit anyways. Sorry if that offended any of you, but I do find truth in that statement. Back to the point at hand, I think there has to be a purpose for my blog spot. I will be trying to come up with some type of theme to write my blogs under. The reason for this is basically because I do not live a very exciting life. Although I consider myself being pretty good at adding meat to a story, I first need the story to add the meat to.
This blog post will be a dry attempt to catch you up with my great, exciting life.
***If you know what my life has been like after high school, skip the next paragraph***
As you should already know, I graduated from high school! YAY. It was a while ago. I then went to Bemidji State University, which is a beautiful school. It just wasn’t the school for me, or possibly the right school, wrong time. Anyways, I only ended up staying a semester, but did learn a lot during that one semester. Moving on, I got a job a Bluefin Bay Resort. Rather, I got two jobs there. The first was housekeeping. Ick. Definitely not a favorite, but it was money. Soon enough I found myself working at Coho Café and smiling everyday. I love it there. Even when my feet are aching and I am so tired I am taking shots of espresso to keep my eyelids from drooping, I usually still have a smile on my face. Although I was enjoying my time out of school, being a college dropout and working a dead-end job, I wasn’t the biggest success story. For some reason, it bothered my family more than it bothered me. To tell the truth, I was actually pretty content. I like to live in the present, but I don’t like to be scared of the future. That is what brought me to Rochester. Well, that AND my sister, Anne’s, gracious offer to let me be her roommate. So, currently I am attending RCTC, in hope of one day entering the field of Occupational Therapy.
Let’s see. What else can I tell you?
-I had an amazing summer working back at Coho. Met new friends, and became closer with some of the oldies.
-I got a job last week working at Northgate Health Club. I start on Monday! I have been a member there for a bit, and am looking forward to starting. It is only three shifts a week to start with, but I am hoping it turns out to be a positive experience.
-I am already missing the North Shore like crazy, and hope I can get up there before Thanksgiving break.
-Anne and I are trying to get our act together. We are going to join forces and whip our apartment into shape. We are both piglets, so the place is far from spotless. We have a lot of artwork and such that have never made it onto the walls, so hopefully in the next few weeks the place really starts to transform.
- I am thinking about taking a course in sign language next semester. Kind of random, I know, but I think it would be really fun.
- Anne loves fall, and I hate it. I see it as the end of summer and sun, and the beginning of winter and its bitterness. Oh, and of course, school. Ick.
Well, I suppose this is all for now. Remember, I warned you in the beginning of this post that I am rather bad at this, so if you feel like reading this was a waste of time, it’s your own damn fault! Don’t worry, it can only get better from here! (I hope.)
Firstly, well rather secondly, I am not going to be any good at this. Consider yourself warned. I do tend to ramble, so you may end up reading a long blog about pretty much nothing. Sorry in advance.
Seeing since I can’t decide whether this would be thirdly or secondly, I will stop try to number my points. It is a rather annoying habit anyways. Sorry if that offended any of you, but I do find truth in that statement. Back to the point at hand, I think there has to be a purpose for my blog spot. I will be trying to come up with some type of theme to write my blogs under. The reason for this is basically because I do not live a very exciting life. Although I consider myself being pretty good at adding meat to a story, I first need the story to add the meat to.
This blog post will be a dry attempt to catch you up with my great, exciting life.
***If you know what my life has been like after high school, skip the next paragraph***
As you should already know, I graduated from high school! YAY. It was a while ago. I then went to Bemidji State University, which is a beautiful school. It just wasn’t the school for me, or possibly the right school, wrong time. Anyways, I only ended up staying a semester, but did learn a lot during that one semester. Moving on, I got a job a Bluefin Bay Resort. Rather, I got two jobs there. The first was housekeeping. Ick. Definitely not a favorite, but it was money. Soon enough I found myself working at Coho Café and smiling everyday. I love it there. Even when my feet are aching and I am so tired I am taking shots of espresso to keep my eyelids from drooping, I usually still have a smile on my face. Although I was enjoying my time out of school, being a college dropout and working a dead-end job, I wasn’t the biggest success story. For some reason, it bothered my family more than it bothered me. To tell the truth, I was actually pretty content. I like to live in the present, but I don’t like to be scared of the future. That is what brought me to Rochester. Well, that AND my sister, Anne’s, gracious offer to let me be her roommate. So, currently I am attending RCTC, in hope of one day entering the field of Occupational Therapy.
Let’s see. What else can I tell you?
-I had an amazing summer working back at Coho. Met new friends, and became closer with some of the oldies.
-I got a job last week working at Northgate Health Club. I start on Monday! I have been a member there for a bit, and am looking forward to starting. It is only three shifts a week to start with, but I am hoping it turns out to be a positive experience.
-I am already missing the North Shore like crazy, and hope I can get up there before Thanksgiving break.
-Anne and I are trying to get our act together. We are going to join forces and whip our apartment into shape. We are both piglets, so the place is far from spotless. We have a lot of artwork and such that have never made it onto the walls, so hopefully in the next few weeks the place really starts to transform.
- I am thinking about taking a course in sign language next semester. Kind of random, I know, but I think it would be really fun.
- Anne loves fall, and I hate it. I see it as the end of summer and sun, and the beginning of winter and its bitterness. Oh, and of course, school. Ick.
Well, I suppose this is all for now. Remember, I warned you in the beginning of this post that I am rather bad at this, so if you feel like reading this was a waste of time, it’s your own damn fault! Don’t worry, it can only get better from here! (I hope.)
