lunch

Lisa and I are meeting at Plums at 1:00 for lunch if anyone is up there at that time, feel free to join us there. We are planning on being at the room about 2:30/3:00. See ya there.

Wow! I'm so proud of everyone!
I put in a full day on Friday before I head up there, so I'll see y'all Friday night.I suppose around 7:00-8:00? That's less than 48 hours away (since we're counting down). See ya there! Love ya-Kiash

not tomoro but the next day

Lu, I don't usually talk to Lisa before we go. I know she goes up so I call her when I leave the house to see where she's at or leave a message. I am bringing my cooler up. I decided not to bring breakfast pizza although it is very good. Go ahead and bring soap and stuff just to be on the safe side. I am pretty much ready to go as far as packing goes. Last minute things that I'm still using will get thrown in when I'm done with them Friday morning. See ya all in a few days.

No golden opportunity as of yet:( yap at ya all later.

HOO! HOO! 48 HOURS AND COUNTING!

Hi Everyone. It's getting closer by the minute. I haven't talked to Lisa, I've been back at home since Sat night, so I don't know her casino plans. Tammy-do you usually talk to her before heading out? I think she's like me and just wants to pop in there for a bit. Now that it's def. w/ the girls not coming I will also just be there for a short time. We can all compare our winnings! when we get to the room. :) Is everyone packed already? Do we need another cooler? A agree with the not bringing up food, however Mom and I do plan to bring up some staples from home:coffee, filters, sugar, cooking oil, napkins, paper towels,2 bags of Doritos(1 ranch and 1 original) -most of which is left overs from other parties/events and got saved for Breezy. Do we need paper plates-we have a bunch? Is there dish soap up there or do we bring it?
At last count I'm pretty sure we are 12 this year, plus a maybe on Melissa. I can't wait to to eveyone. Lu

3 More Days!!!

I woke up this morning, pulled up the blog and smiled. I love it. No job offer yet;), I'm really not expecting one. Although state is here, maybe they'll offer me a job. Pam, just so ya know, we usually don't bring food up. We used to all bring stuff and we ended up taking alot home so we decided to go shopping once we get there. I thought of that when I said I would bring breakfast pizza. I don't know if I should bring it not as the fridge is so overloaded with beverages and groceries. I am bringing my cooler up again for beverages. Lu, I plan on being at Breezy by 3 or so. I'm not gonna sit at the casino for 3 hours. It's nice to get up there early and get situated before the crowd starts and everyone is hauling up and trying to put away. I still plan on being at the casino about noon. I'll find Lisa, have lunch at Plums, play for awhile and head up. I'll see everyone in a few days. Yap at ya all later.

Breezy Update

Brea and I won't be getting out of Moorhead until around 4:30, so we probably wont be to Breezy until the evening. I'm not sure of specifics, but we won't be getting into the area in time to hit the casino. We'll see you up there Friday night, though! :)

Hi All,
Hi Pam, glad your plans are still on for the weekend.
Tammy, I was just planning on stopping for a while at the casino. I'd like to head up to Breezy by 3 or so. I don't want to spend alot of money, but it's fun to try for a little while. I haven't heard back from Mac and Brea yet so I don't know if any of us are going get together til we get up to the room. Also Tam, I'm glad you're taking the just say no route :-) Lu

Breezy Time

Like all of you, it's nice to see some activity. I was checking a while back and there was nothing...it's nice to see it's picked up again. I don't seem to have enough hours in the day anymore...I've been told that's a sign of old age! Tell me it isn't so!!!

It was nice to see some of you guys at Nikki's little gathering...thanks for coming, I know she appreciated it!

I haven't heard whether Melissa is coming to Breezy or not. I do have the weekend off (Sat/Sun) but work Friday and Monday. I have an appt w/Red Cross at the VA to donate blood on Friday, so (as long as my blood is ok) I will get off 4 hours early from work :) at 8pm. Thought I'd leave from work, so I'd get up there late and leave Sunday afternoon. That is my plan as of now...I'll let you know if anything changes.

BTW, I have leftover Italian Turkey and white buns from Nikki's party that are in my freezer, that I'd gladly bring along. Any other suggestions? I have the ingredients (except the vegis) for Rotini Salad, too, if that sounds like something you'd all like. Just let me know.

Thanks for Logan's address...I'll send him a note!!

Gotta get ready for work...

Pam

4 more days

Lu, yeah it would be cool to get offered and then say no. This isn't what I'm looking for. It would give me clerical experience but nothing really to do with what I am looking to do at home. I really doubt they will offer it. I just let the horoscope get my imagination working. I have decided I am absolutely not going to apply. I'm sure they still have my ap and interview notes on file. It wasn't that long ago.

I check Craigslist and every once in a while they have medical office postings. I dont remember if I posted this info already or not but I checked on Medical Assistant with Pennfoster and I would only have to take one class. So when I'm done with transcription, I will take that. When I'm all done, I could pretty much run a small clinic. So that's the plan. I want to stay at the nursing home through March any way. I have 2 weeks vacation this year. I am using 3 days for the weekend and I'll use 3 or 4 for Bristol. That gives 3 or 4 more days to burn up. I should be done with my classes and then I will get serious about looking for something else.

I'm not sure what time I'm going to the casino. I don't have much money this year. What time are you planning on going up to the room? I don't really want to sit at the casino for 3 or 4 hours. I'm thinking an hour or so. Maybe I'll go up around noon. That would be plenty early for me. I got up this morning and started packing. I am gonna make a couple pans of breakfast pizza for Saturday morning breakfast. I'll make it here and we can warm it up in the microwave. I love this stuff. I make it quite often. Anyway, I'll see ya at the casino probably. I'm sure I'll talk to ya before that. Yap at ya all later.

Hi Tam

Hi Tammy, It would sure suck to get turned down a second time for thr same job but if you would actually get this job would that experience help you do the at home stuff? Or would it be one or the other? It would be cool to let them think you were interested then tell them no. Like the way they treated you the first time around. I know this was any help but you'll figure it out.

Do you plan to be at the casino by 11 or so? If so, I'll see you then. Lu

4 more days of work...then 5 days off!!!

Wow. It pays to whine I guess. I know everyone is busy. I don't check this as often as I used to either. But it is great to see some of you come back. To answer the casino question, I will go up on Friday. I got my hours cut due to low census. I work on a 18 bed unit and we had 8 open beds, with 3 of the occupied beds being totally indepenant. Therefore, I only had 7 people who needed any help. I was the only aide there because there wasn't enough work to keep us busy. But we got a resident pretty much every day last week so the census went back up to 16. So, I won't be getting my hours cut and I got my Aide back. The nursing home is crazy that way. But even if they started letting people go, I think I would be pretty safe. I think they would just continue to cut hours before they let anyone go. There's alot of us there so we would probably only lose a day a pay period. I don't know cuz we filled back up.

There's a in-house posting for HUC again. I didn't apply. Don't know if I will. If I wasn't good enough last time why would I be this time around. The funny thing is, my horoscope says " A golden opportunity will land in your lap this week, but for some reason you'll be reluctant to take it. Maybe you don't want the extra responsibilities it is likely to bring...or maybe you're happy with your existence the way it is. Whatever the reason, it's OK to say no. Your life, your decision." When I seen the posting on Thursday, I just kinda laughed. I probably won't apply but if they offer it to me, I'd have to think it about it. I thought it was kinda funny with the golden opportunity falling in my lap. Tuesday is the deadline to apply. We'll see what happens. Am I being stubborn or do you see my point? The hours would be nice. That's about the only thing that has me thinking about it. Anyone who reads this, let me know what ya think. I only have today and tomoro for feedback. I would really hate to apply and be rejected again. I seriously think I probably won't. Am secretly hoping they will offer it to me anyway. Then I would say let me think about it and I will let you know when I come back next week. Or I should say yes, and if I change my mind, I can let them know when I come back next week. Wow, this got pretty lengthy. See ya all in 5 days. I will check this tomoro to see if anyone gave me their opinion. I act like they are seriously gonna offer me the job. It's all if, if, if. We'll see how the horoscope plays out.Yap at ya all later.

Hi Mac
Lisa and Tammy usually meet at 11. Gramma has Sr. Center activities, (a halloween party til noon, lunch, then setting up for pancake breakfast). At this point she doesn't know if she is going to the casino or not. Tammy hasn't decidied as of yet if she's going this year.
I am going, I'll probably be there by 11-ish and hang out for a few hours. Jenny and Connie also have the day off and are planning to head out late moring or early afternoon, pos. hit the shops, and pick up groceries. Can't wait. Talk to you soon. Lu

Breezy Plans

We are inside of one week to Breezy! Hooray!
Brea and I might be joining the group that goes to the casino, but we're not positive yet. What time do you guys usually swing through and what do you do there? We're tentatively planning to leave here in the afternoon, but it all depends on my rehearsal schedule. I'm supposed to be running rehearsal on Friday night but I think I'm going to delegate that to someone else so that I can be on my way earlier. Otherwise I wouldn't even be leaving Moorhead until about 11, and that's no fun. Even though I know people would still be awake if I didn't get there until 2 in the morning. :)
It's nice to see some life on this blog again. We should keep it up better this time around.

BREEZY IS THIS WEEK!!!!!!

Hi Everyone, Luke here.
I'm glad we're all getting back on here. I wrote back to back messages. in Sept,
2 1/2 weeks apart, then got busy. I'll try to be more active.

Can you believe it, Breezy's finally here!!! Yeah!!!

Tammy, right now Lisa plans to meet you at the casino. I tried to last year but I got busy, so I was going to go this year. I sure understand if you don't do it though. Also,I feel your pain about the hours. That's what happened to me too. For me, it was like missing a whole weeks' pay every month. With my budget, it didn't take long to make a difference. With your sit. there's no chance of you losing your job is there? Aren't you pretty high on the seniority list? (Or doesn't it work that way?)

I am done at Kelber for a while. I just had two really nice weeks but it's over. The slow down is here and I took myself off the roster 'til Spring. I'll still go down on a wkd if they get busy.

I can't wait til Friday. I hope we get the bigger room. It's reserved but we won't know til Mom gets there. It's $150 if we get it so it's going to cost about $15 a head, excluding Mom, of course. I'm bringing 2 air mattresses, so if anyone needs one it's available.
See ya in 5 1/2 days. Love Ya!

Hi Everyone, or should I say Tammy? Okay. We HAVE been slacking. But, last time I posted, no one else had posted for quite awhile, so I thought no one used this anymore. I'll start checking it again if someone actually reads and posts. Breezy is a week from tomorrow. Yeehah.
I've been super busy with work. Work at home on it most nights. Gettin tired of that though. Just can't get to much during the day except teaching and there's so much more to do. Oh well. Time is flying!!
Hope all is well with everyone and see you in a week! Love ya, Kiash

9 days and counting

Everybody must be so busy. Why doesn't anyone post on here anymore? I realize not everyone plays on the computer every day but you all must use it once in awhile. I thought we were gonna keep in touch on here. Oh well. See ya all at Breezy. I guess Mom is gonna see if she can upgrade to the bigger room and we can all pitch in to pay the difference. I am still plugging away at my transcription. Actually, I have all the ones I have to send in done. I should be working on all the practice ones that I don't have to turn in but I just haven't been working on it all that much. And of course I still have the research assignment. ISH!! Yap at ya all later.

Thanks for the update Kate. I was just coming on here to put in the new address. As far as the code goes, your last message came up all symbals. It looks like a lengthy message but I can't read it. 13 days and counting.

Mom what do you mean? what code?

Logan's Address for sure...

15 days and counting

I hope everyone is getting ready for Breezy. I sure am. I don't know if I'm gonna stop at the casino on the way up or not. Not only did the OT cease at work but our census is so low that we are getting cut a little. At least she gave me the option of what day I wanted off. I have Friday off so naturally I took Saturday. It sucks to go from 15 or so hours of OT to not even 40 hours. Hopefully, it wont last long. Just to give you a picture... I have 8 open beds on a 18 bed unit. My unit is the worse because I work on the Rehab wing, (I'm guessing there's not a lot of elective surgeries going on) but, it's kinda short all over. People are dying and beds aren't getting filled up. I think our census is down to 69. We are a 87 bed facility. I just looked at the clock and I have to go to work. I will let ya all know if I'm stopping at the casino or not. I probably will. Just not spend much. Yap at ya all later.

huh???

Kate, although that looks quite interesting, I'm sure it's a secret code, but it's late and I don't feel like trying to figure it out. Uncode it please. I hope you're feeling better. I'm tired and going to bed. Good night. I'll check back tomorro to see if you fixed it.

BUSY

Hey everyone, this is the first time I have been on here in forever! I'm at home today. I was told I could not go to school. Which made me mad cuz I was shooting for the perfect attendance thing but not happening again this ear. Last year I only missed 2 days and that's cuz I was so sick I could barely move. On Friday I was not feeling the greatest but went to the football game and then to a friends house after wards. Saturday morning I woke up and I had a temp of 103.8 and Sunday I had a temp of 101.7 and today its only 99.3. I have been staying busy with School, and Cross Country. Working at church every Sunday and Wednesday and the second Tuesday of every month plus working at pizza hut Saturday and Sundays. I have not missed on football game yet. the first couple of games I think that they forgot how to play as a team but remembered how it was done after the first two games. We played KMS on their homecoming and they put up the sign that said 2008 Class A State champs. Well I don't think that was a smart idea on their part cuz it fired up our boys and we ended up beating them 42-9. Our over all record is 4-2. we play USA on Wednesday. Hopefully that will make our record 5-2. USA is a hard team though.

Logan's address

Hey Mac, glad to hear school is going well for ya. I agree with you on this blog thing (or lack of). I used to check it all the time and find that I was the last one to post anything. I know I have no life but I figured people would write something once in a while. I am looking forward to Breezy. Yes it is the last weekend in Oct. That's only three weeks away.

I am still working on my medical transcription. I checked on Medical Assistant through Penn Foster and I would only need to take one class because I the outline is the same as billing and coding and transcription. So, I'm guessing I'll probably take that while I'm at it.

I came on here to post Logan's address. NO PACKAGES AT THIS POINT! Here it is:

I'm sick of typing now cause I have been doing homework for quite a while, so I'll yap at ya all later. Besides, I want to go watch the game. There's only a few laps of the race left so now I'll watch the game. See ya in a few weeks.

Hello from collegeland!

Hey hey hey!
How's everyone doing these days? It's getting quiet around here again... so I'm trying to write some life into our little corner of the internet world.
College is good. It's actually way easier than I expected, which is kind of pitiful because I was expecting it to be easy, at least this semester. I've been keeping myself fairly busy with working in the theatre and whatnot, because I'm doing my workstudy there and it's also my major. I spend a lot of time in the shop working on sets and lights and random organizational stuff. Most of the time it's pretty cool, but sometimes it's really annoying. Oh well.
I just had my first midterm today, which is really strange. We're already about halfway through the semester. It seems like it's going by a lot faster than I was expecting it to, which is good. I'm done for the semester on the 16th of December, and I don't start the spring semester until the 11th of January, which is great. I think I'll probably spend most (if not all) of that time in Brainerd. But I guess that depends on what else I have going on around then, and if I have to be in Moorhead for some reason.
I'm sort of surprised that no one has mentioned anything about Breezy on here yet. Last year we were talking about it already in September, and now it's already October. We need to get on that. :) I'm excited for Breezy, of course. Can't wait to see all the Weigel Women and spend some time catching up. I'm assuming Breezy is Halloween weekend, again?
Anyway, I hope this finds some life out there somewhere. :)
