new shoes

i have wait almost a year to buy a pair of Dansko's because I have lots of shoes and needed to kill the others first. well today was the day and i found my foots sole mate (hehe)! imagine my surprise when i open the box to find TWO DIFFERENT SHOES!!!! Expletives were expressed...

for those of you who don't know this...when i buy something i must wear it right away and this has put a major kink in my plan! argggg!

who knew....

who knew that grown up decisions were so time intensive...and why didn't someone ever teach me how to do these things?
For example...negotiating a job, I don't know the first thing about this and I assume that what they tell me and what everyone else is doing is what i will be doing. Evidently, I have to get everything in writing including bathroom breaks!
...buying a car, what a joke! Why is this process so difficult? Why can't I negotiate the price of shoes the same way? Actually, I think the best comparison would be a game, like hearts where you a unsure what the other person is holding until you get screwed in the end. I have never been scared to buy anything, including a car, but now I am.
ugggg!!!

where have i been...

so i have been told that i am boring because i never write on my blog. there is a good reason for this lapse in updates...no internet access! so at this very moment i am very excited because i don't have to go back to bemidji tomorrow because i have to go to school for a meeting, the twinkies just clinched the division championship and i went duck hunting for the first time ever this weekend. we hunted in several different forums...in a canoe, in a canoe and in the weeds. i much prefer the in the weeds...the canoe gets a little out of hand. so tonight i am going to relax because i feel like i have been running around like a chicken/duck with my head cut off all weekend. ciao.

dilemma...

drinking a few brews and writing a presentation about rotavirus and HPV...this is not working very well! And no TV...sad.

how rude!

just because i sound like a 6 year old child on the phone does not give you the right to speak to me like i just fell off the turnip truck. this happens every once in a while but it is really bothering me today.
where does this contempt for mankind come from? the customer service at verizon! my cellphone is a piece of crap...it hangs up on people very, very often, it doesn't switch between roaming and not roaming without turning off the phone, and finally it now does not charge!
in order to remedy the roaming problem i was supposed to type a code into my phone everytime i leave my home to pick up the roaming codes! what!!!! my other phone didnot have this problem. and obviously, according to the verizon demon, i was supposed to know this. did you know this?

my favorite yet creepy

Windy Ridge at Mt St Helens facing away from the mountain. It is like a toothpick factory up there.
