Jun. 10th, 2007 @ 09:05 pm shit...another schroeder is roaming this earth
Good news everyone! as of this morning...well 12:03am June 10th, i have another nephew and his name is Ethan John Schroeder. woot! as most schroeders are, he's 10 pounds and big...about the length from the tip of my middle finger to elbow. he's healthy, but he is on a ventilator becasue he is early (suppose to be born june 28th) and his lungs aren't fully developed. much like when isaac was born but ethan has a lot less problems and should be out of the hospital much sooner.

went to the cities this weekend and it was a blast! blues music, ribs, ben and jerry's, cheesecake and beer! where can one go wrong? i know!, i don't know either.

Apr. 1st, 2007 @ 08:28 am just a bunny you said
These are the people that I work with...

Yesterday Jared, Brian (zamboni guy) and i are at hobbs tearing out a wood walkway that leads from inside to the outdoor rink. it had rubber and everything down so a person wouldn't have to out their skates on outside. Anyway, during one point brian and jared are lifting a piece of plywood towards me while i am pulling. all of a sudden both guys drop the board while brian jumps 5 feet in the air, yelling holy shit and jared freaks out and runs 10 feet away. i, having no idea what just happened, sit there contemplating what animal was under the piece of plywood...snake or raccoon were my guess. while brian and jared are trying to catch their breath and settle down i try to find out what it is...finally jared tells me "a huge fuckin rabbit."

(silence)

yeah, a bunny scared the shit out of 2 guys...and don't think i am exaggerating this becuase every time we went to pick up another piece of plywood, jared would slowly lift it up to see if he could see the rabbit while brian stood ready with a pitchfork in cause it "tried something."

well with our last piece we finally found it and it booked it out of that hole like no other...i thought it would have had a heart attack.

Feb. 12th, 2007 @ 03:11 pm What i learned this weekend
1. The shins are the greatest band alive and perform one hell of a live concert

2. I can have one more beer before driving home...16oz, not 22oz.

3. America the beautiful is not an appropriate karaoke song

4. Ok, so maybe thinking it's ok to set guniea pigs free isn't a viable option

5. Tell ISU nothing!

6. Never make fun of a brides ugly dress or face with a friend in front of her guest that looks like he could crush your head with his hand.

7. (in part with #6) awkward/nervous giggling can be brought to a new level...as with "oh my god i'm going to be killed by a man whose bigger then the WTO"

8. Smoking is bad for your health...

9. Hilary Clinton is the next Hitler with her liberal minions. The democrats are going to stab the troops in the back just like stalin did. One who was in madrid when the train station was bombed can say things like that because he is not living in a vaccum. it is possible to feel like you are going to be murdered more then once in a weekend.

Feb. 7th, 2007 @ 10:18 am There's always a first time for everything
So last night at Hobbs (ice center) there was a north vs rice lake high school hockey game, which is ok...i still don't know how a large crowd of very drunk college students can keep the bleachers virtually spotless and how a large group of high schoolers who are sober can totally destory the place is possible but i guess, you never know.

anyway, after a boring high school girls game (i am totally against girls hockey) the boys hit the ice. after the first period there was the usual chuck a puck contest and then after the 2nd period the north high school dance team performed....that was a first. plus they performed on the ice...granted they didn't do any flips or spectacular stuff for reasons understandable...but i question them going out on the ice for 20 seconds. they are a pretty popular team and draw large crowds when they perform in a normal dance team setting...so why a hockey game when these girls can't walk on ice and fall down alot??

plus i can't imagine the part when they were doing the splits was good. you know that when the entire arena goes "ohhhhh" and they did the splits a lot!

so this weekend i made the decision to stop smoking...then last night i thought "Hey you're a dumbass if you quit smoking now." Why? well in less then two weeks i am taking probably the most important test of my life and if i fuck it up who knows if i get into graduate school and god only knows when i'll have the cash to retake it again (don't forget the already common nervous breakdowns/anxiety attacks (can we say mood swings?))...mmm, probably not till next year because i have to fork over my own cash for second semester...fucking part time, can't get a loan so i took it all out now and am saving every cent i have now. so i decided (and this is an outward promise/i'm gonna try as hard as possible) that i will quit the saturday after i take the GRE...and i know some of you think bull shit but i said a long time ago that i was going to this summer (cha...car breaks down more then twice well one gets a little stressed to top off a bunch of other shit still going on). all i need from others is none of the "how's quitting going?" because as long as i don't think about it i'm fine (aka i can go home for 2 weeks and not smoke a puff). if you do ask me...i will probably punch you in the ovaries/testicles/general vacinity because i'm gonna be cranky.

Current Mood: sick
So with the start of classes on Tuesday combined with a three day weekend i ignored the whole allergic reaction to alcohol and drank my self silly (stupid i know), thus my farewell to alcohol for an unknown period of time because the whole sick thing the next day isn't really worth it. and yeah if you're wondering i paid for last night today...a little bit still right now but whatever. so this whole 100% sobriety is going to be interesting, i mean, i don't know about you all but i find myself to be a fun drunk...and i like drinking...(tear)

in other news summer is almost over and it's time to get back to the books. i'm not so sure about this semester. while i only have 12 credits all of my classes are ones that i know if i'm not careful i can get fucked easily. plus i'm nervous about the whole capstone thing...i have no idea what to research on and i can't technically remember all the formulas for SPSS. hmm, i wonder if i can do a reasearch paper without having to do a survey...it could be possible.......

and that's all i got......for now (muwhahahaha)

Aug. 29th, 2006 @ 04:54 pm Rock out
Kick ass poem by Anis Mojgani--just had to share

Rock out like you were given the last rock and roll record on earth andthe minutes are counting down to flames
Rock out like you just won both Showcase Showdowns
Rock out like the streets are empty except for you and your headphones
Rock out like your lips were on a breakdancing muse with legs that go all the way up
Rock out like Publisher's Clearing House is ringing your front door
Rock out like you'll never open a textbook again
Rock out like you just got your legs back
Rock out like you get paid to disturb the peace
Rock out like music is all you gotRock out like you're on a rooftop and the city is as loud and glowing as a river flowing below you
Rock out like the plane is going down and there are 120 people and 121
parachutes on board
Rock out like the books and the street corners are on fire and the fires can only be extinguished by doing the Roger Rabbit
Rock out like like it was Saturday afternoon and Monday is a national holiday
Rock out like somebody's got a barrel to your temple saying Rock out like your life depended on it, fool! because it does
Rock out like your eyes are fading but you still got your ears and you don't know for how long
Rock out like 5 o'clock time meant pop 'n lock time
Rock out like you got a pantsfull of tokens and nothing to do but everything
Rock out like you are the International Skee-Ball Champion of the entire Universe
Rock out like you escaped an evil orphanage to join a Russian circus
Rock out like your hero has fallen and you are spinning your limbs until they burst into a flaming pyre of remembrance
Rock out like you are enslaved in the south and dancing is all that you have to know who you are
Rock out like your dead grandfather just came back to take a drive with you in your brand new car
Rock out like the table was full
Rock out like the neighbors are away
Rock out like the walls won't fall but dammit you gonna die trying to make them
Rock out like the stereo's volume knob only has the figure 8 of infinity on it instead of merely numbers
Rock out like it's raining outside and you got a girl to run through it with
Rock out like you were playing football in the mud and your washing machine ain't broken
Rock out like the window is open on your honeymoon and you want the whole world to know what love is
Rock out like you just got a book published
Rock out for the man in the wheelchair who is living vicariously through you
Rock out like you were having a baby when you thought your ovaries could not
Rock out like you were a loser who went to your high school reunion to find everybody even the women are fat and bald except for the Prom Queen who has just been divorced by her impotent husband and who only has eyes for you!
Rock out like you have a date with Heidi Klume
Rock out like your girl just dumped you and the city is full of more
Rock out like a shadow of a man passes behind you, drops you to your knees, you're buckling in a sweat, cold metal is pushed to your forehead, the trigger is pulled--and the gun jams!Rock out like you got an empty appointment book and a full tank of gas
Rock out like Jimi has returned, carrying brand new guitar strings
Rock out like the mangos are in season
Rock out like the record player won't skip
Rock out like you were teaching someone to
Rock out like this is the last weekend
Rock out like these were the last words
Rock out like you don't ever want to forget how

so of all the crap that could go wrong in a summer i believe i have taken the shittiest.

explination:
about a month ago i started getting "the flu" a lot, aka throwing up, fever, being really tired and the such. WELL, this weekend we all go out for a nice saturday night. i ended up getting a wee tipsy drunk but not fall over, throwing up. next morning i wake up and immedietly throw up, then again last night after i finally ate something and today at work thus leading my boss to send me home early. so talking to trevor he brings up the thought that maybe i have developed an intolerance to alcohol.

I KNOW WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF THING IS THAT???

so after talking, trevor poses the idea that i stop drinking until i get enough money to go to the doctor to get this checked out. which of course is not something i like but he did bring up a lot of good points...aka the work i have missed. and now i'm angry, finally feeling better but we'll see.

to top it all off in the middle of last night while i am sweating and my stomach is being ripped apart my bed springs a leak so i roll over and sleep on the floor. thankfully christine is getting rid of a bed and is letting me use it...i may update but we'll see.

in other news:

i did get my books today for class. I KNOW! talk about not being my usual procrastinating self when it comes to books. i don't know when i will get my notebooks though...i feel that modern political thought is going to require gtwo notebooks as did american political thought+a ream of paper. damnit.

but one plus from saturday night was i saw ckam's friend jake and we hung out at brother's with his roomate brian who is a poli sci student as myself and we're both taking our capstone this semester. so we made bar plans for when the going gets tough and we want to rip apart a computer. so yay.

and now my mac and cheese is gone so i'm out...i'm starving for some reason.

funny story...i was standing outside of my apartment last night, minding my own business, when i noticed what appeared to be a bird on the roof of our little storage shed (roof is about 10 feet high). upon looking at the "bird" a little close i noticed that it was not a bird but instead a frog...on the roof....and that is when i became very very confused. i mean, how the hell did a frog get on a 10 foot tall roof?? and then i noiticed another frog on the other end......and that's when i got confused even more. after another 10 minutes of trying to figure out how the fuck two frogs got on a 10 foot tall roof, i saw another 3rd frog climbing down the wall. so ok, confusion gone. then i noticed the shitload of frogs around our front slab...that's when confusion evolved into no confusion which then evolved into paranoia. i mean, i know that i'm not a "girl" for the most part, but three things in this world bother the shit out of me...worms and all worm like creatures(traumatic childhood), snakes (again traumatic childhood and incident at 4-H camp) and frogs (the fuckers not moving until you're right on top of them thus scaring you, running a lot over in my past with a lawn mower and of course a traumatic childhood). so then i was freaked out that one was getting into the house because the roomates were gone...if one had been there it would have been cool because....well you all know me, i would bitch and yell until one of them took it outside because i'm not touching the fuckers.

and that was the highlight of this week so far.

i really need a hobby or something

in other news i am getting back on the non-smoking bandwagon...august usually has been a stress free month in the past so hopefully. i'm trying to figure out what to replace with it though. i've been trying gum which is ok, but i chewed gum when i smoke so really replacement there. tried hard candy but i just end up getting impatient and chewing them so i go through about a bag a day. i don't want to do the gum stuff that is suppose to help you quit because it's expensive and one just gets addicted to the gum so really, what's the point there? patches are expensive and i don't want to do the lozenges because i don't trust anything with the word lozeng (SP?). i think that stems from my refusal to use cough droups because they make me really high.

anywho, i just wasted some good time at work...now i work 8am-5pm which ups the over-time but is totally fucking with my sleeping schedule. i don't want to go to sleep until after midnight even though i'm tired...oh well, life's a whore

and that's all i got.

Current Mood: i guess i cry when i'm bored
yeah...i am currently at work right now and it's after 5 (well i still have 20 minutes but close enough, the phone isn't going to ring anyway). i did decide to change my hours though starting today. i started off doing 10 to 630 every day which was cool, but doing some landscape work on monday and tuesday which required me to come from 900 to 530 made me change my mind so now i'm working 9 to 530...until of course i get sick of those hours and then i change them again. it'll be interesting when school comes around because donna (boss) doesn't really care when i come in as long as i get my stuff done in a rational amount of time...but then there's also the possibility it slows down so much this winter i get laid off...which would be interesting if i would...i've never been laid off before...which really isn't that big of a deal because hobb's opens in october (woot).

wow...that was a shitload of work talk...new subject. my sister is moving to indiana at the end of september...i think. i know tim (bro-in-law) is leaving in august because he starts classes at indiana state and step is sticking around for a month or so...i'm going to have to hang out with her...i've been a shitty lil' sister...but then tomorrow night is the "Jax Farewell Tour 06" in River Falls, aka a lot of drinking. (woot) which i'm cool with of course. but i do have to say studying for the GRE has taken a lil' hit this week. ideally it's about 3-5 hours a night (a lot i know but considering this thing is going down at the end of august/beginning of september....not a lot of fucking time)....but then i still haven't made up my mind about graduate school..............(woot?...no)

ANYWHO....i have just wasted another good 10 minutes at work....which is gonna change after tomorrow. "APPARENTLY" comeone feels that katie (co-worker) and i need to be in the front of the building so our office is moving up front tomorrow.....course now that i just got situated on my desk i have to go get use to another one....but i do have a choice between two computers....either morrie and i share (cool guy) or rob and i continue to "share" (aka he keeps "needing' to use it only to sit there doing something else) and he makes fun of my backgrounds which i get off of didgital blasphemy (sp?--whatever) but then i give him shit because his background is his fucking lawn....who's lawn is their background????????

holy shit this is a long post...i should continue working on the new procedures book that katie and i are making for when katie goes on maternity leave and people have questions...aka i don't want to deal with more then i am going to have to when katie leaves so i can just throw the book at people and all answers are answered without me becoming annoyed.

i love my job

well i guess it's been awhile since i last updated...and i guess that i'm bored right now because fuckhead roomate won't go with me to the joynt or any other bar in that matter because "he's lazy"...and playing world of warcraft...fucknuts.

that's his new nickname.

anyway...let's start with work...which is going well except for the cases where irrigation comes in and i need to cover their ass yet again because no one over in that department is very competent especially with excel. but i enjoy my job. i sit in the back office with katie and we talk...a lot...about everything and anything...no matter how appropriate or inappropriate it is for the office enviornment. i'm so glad i got put with someone my own age.. although she's gonna start cutting back her hours with her due date coming up in september...yay....now i get to deal with the techs myself...seriously, how hard is it to listen to the radio to see if it is going to rain?

my car is also running...afer dopping a good 500 bucks on it...fucker...

yeah...that's my life in a month...really boring...but not...wait...yeah it's pretty boring and somewhat pathetic...but hey, whatever works. s'all cool.

although i do have to say i love dishwashers and air conditoning.

So i thought an update was in place seeing how i haven't done so in awhile.

.............

really not much new. I moved into my new apartment with scott which is nice...currently ithe air conditioning is on and i'm loving that because i know it's hot outside. and the dishwasher works like a charm...who knew washing dishes was so easy...just turn the knob.

friday i had my wisdom teeth taken out. that was interesting. i really don't have any memory of things that happened after they put in the IV except talking to my dentist about john snow and apparently giving scott the finger when he was trying to wake me up so we could leave...i'm such a good friend. all in all for the past 4 days i have been sleeping or watching tv..or both at the same time as i have been falling asleep with the TV on which is weird because i don't do that normally...i blame the drugs.

yay for drugs...i know it's just the removal of 4 teeth but goldamn it hurts from time to time...and although it's only perscription strenght ibproufen...it comes in handy...well witht he occasional vicaden to help it out.

and judging from the horrible decline in my typing i think it's time for more beddy time...well probably watching tv but who knows...naps are great. especially since it's back to work tomorrow (it's monday today right?) and i won't be able to nap whenever i want to.

anywho, that's really all that's new in my life. honestly, it's quite boring and somewhat depressing...but i guess...that's what summers for.

see you ugly asses later!

So...freshmen initiation...FUN TIMES! the first time in 3 years where it was done right...like it doesn't matter at all and that is what makes initiation fun. i do have to say though that the dollar isle at target was not up to par...i know i could have done better on the awards but all in all they were good...meaning they had the "what the fuck am i going to do with this?" meaning. i got beef jerky chew my freshmen year...conicidence...not as of currently.

other then that i cannot wait for this year to wind down...granted i'm still here for ANOTHER FUCKING YEAR...but i guess, things could be worse...i could be graduating. things are going good though, the 2 papers aren't causing that much trouble and my grandma is a lot better...granted i feel really bad that i haven't gone to see her yet...but i'm pretty sure she would get mad at me if i would...trust me.

the saturday grad party was also a blast although i am still hurting in many areas...from playing kick ball, to playing in a park, to climbing a tree, to doing a keg stand...and so on. although i didn't get as drunk as i thought i would which is ok with me...i was drunk for a good 3 hour time span and then sobered up. cheeky.

well, i've just wasted 15 minutes online when i should be papering it up...oops but i'm sure all will be well. speak of the devil christine just made a comment about that...te he.

so i thought i'd just throw down an update because people keep asking "what's wrong" and this way i can get it all out...so in roughly the order of occurences:

Saturday-after a hella fun friday night i go home. when i am home i ask my mom if i can have money to cover my rent since my parents owe me roughly 1000 bucks. upon asking my mom freaks out and goes on about how she is working 3 jobs and i'm not the only one that has problems and it's my own damn fault that i can't cover part of rent and i should be working more (thus the working every hour i can now even though i still have 3 papers left to write for next week and i still don't know where french is at) . aside from that we also have the grad school discussion again because no matter how much i explain why i am going to graduate school and that if i coach on a team i will recieve a stipend and there are ways to pay for it she still doesn't understand it.

Sunday-to top off the fact that i still feel like a fucked up discrace of a daughter (which still hasn't stopped) my sister continues the graduate school discussion and i explain it to her AGAIN. seriously, i wish they would first, listen and second, deal with their own fucking lives and get the hell out of mine.

Tuesday-after staying up till 2 worring about whatnot and doing papers, i get a call at 5 and a voice message (because i didn't hear my phone) that my grandma is in the hospital...they think that she had a tiny heart attack. no biggy, been through this before and after talking to my mom everything sounds fine. super. then tonight after work i get another voice message that's my grandma has been moved to abbott because she keeps having small heart attacks they think (no one knows what's happening). the shitty part about that is, one i am freaking out and also there is absolutly nothing i can do. this is the person that practically raised me for the first half of my life and i would more then gladly die for and i'm stuck in fucking eau claire because my parents don't want me coming to the cities because of class, work and the fact that no one knows what's happening.

THEN to top it off my mom gets pissed off at me because tomorrow i am making an appointment to get my wisdom teeth removed and i told her there is no reason for her to come to eau claire because seriously there's people here who could give me a ride there and back and who (i hope) wouldn't mind doing it.

top that off with paying for my summer class, work, finals, papers and other shit...yeah...great start for may. so if i get snappy or i'm out of it, it's nothing against you and i appreciate everything that everyone has done for me which some may think is nothing but trust me. and yes, i had 3 cigarettes tonight and i have been chewing (when i'm in my car)...if that disappoints some i'm sorry but i think i have bigger fish to fry.

i can't wait till the weekend...hell, i can't wait till wednesday night
