Mexico again?! I know!

Well I’m off to Mexico AGAIN! I know crazy! My boyfriend Ross and our 2 friends are going to Cancun. Last time I went to the pacific side. This time to the Caribbean side!!!! I have been to this area before and it is so gorgeous. Here is a pic from last time I went to this side of Mexico. We stayed in Akumal, which was a small town in the middle of Cancun and Playa del Carmen.

The deal we got was a can’t beat. $749 (that is the actual price, including taxes, airfare, 6 nights etc). It is a 5 star resort. Ross’ buddy just got married and went there for their honeymoon. It is all inclusive and super nice. He paid $1440 a person. Wow the off time is crazy. That is why it is so cheap! It is hotter there then like 88 or so but that is what I like! I can’t wait. We are going May 8-14. This is where we are staying. It is called the Park Royal Cancun.

Now I have to ACTUALLY start going to the gym (ergh) and eating right and tone up. I’m gonna start tanning this month. Last time I went in Dec it was so nice to go there tan I barely EVER wore sunblock.

Better get the packing list going AGAIN!

Wow long time

Opps. Sorry

Update... Ross and i are fabulous-o. He is so awesome i love him to death. We take turns every weekend visiting each other. i'll drive to Bethel, he'll drive up here. it works out so nice. We do lots of things we are never bored. For Valentines day be bought me the prettiest necklace. It was from kay and is a circle with diamonds and a pink (yes pink he knows me too well) saphire in the middle. Gorgeous! i mean i can't get over how pretty it is. I bought him some movies and a funny card and the best smelling cologne ever. Armani Code. Get it! It is spendy but so worth it. Ross said he has never had so many complients ever. He then also took me to underwater world in the mall of america. It was so awesome i def recommend that one. We were oooing and awing with everyone. We go snowmobiling alot, laze around. I met his family they are amazing, just like my family, fun and outgoing and family orientated. It makes things so easy and great when you get along with their family. We talk every night, always about something interesting or creep each other out about how much we are alike. i honestly can't ever picture myself agruing or being mad at this person. We both are so easy going and always having fun. Can you tell i'm smitten!

Here he is in the Tan shirt. That is our buddy Jerome, he rocks. We are going to Vegas in May with him and his girlfriend ashley and some other buddies. yea! It is gonig to be crazy.

If you have been to vegas any suggestions as to where we should stay? It will be my first time!

Here we are. Ignore my dumb expression, we were at the lounge for a little too long ok :)

I am also starting a new years resolution a little late. i'm going to carry my camera everywhere from now on. i never take pics and it is starting to tick me off. so yep!

Sigh.....

Wow

Have you ever met someone and wow just clicked from the moment you first spoke. Yea I would have to say that happened to met. I met that someone special finally. He is perfect and I love him. Best personality, super sweet, thoughtful, and motivated. We first met this summer and had a blast together, then reconnected New Years Eve. It was like out of the movies. We have been inseparateble ever since.

I went to his house last weekend. Now, I never tell him anything in terms of what I like to eat or drink or do for fun, he just picks up on stuff during conversations and observations. I think it is so awesome. When I got there Friday night he cooked me Steak and Crab Legs. My favorite (he heard me say it to someone how it is my favorite), and he got me cranberry juice and vodka cause he noticed that is what I drank when we went to the bars. Then he took me to a Karaoke bar cause once again I said something once quick in conversation that I love love love karaoke bars. I had the best night. I met all his friends and they are the best! Had so much fun I couldn’t even explain it. I never laughed so hard in my life.

So then next day we went out for delicious bloody marys and then he took me to meet his mom. She is my favorite, absolute sweetheart. Plus she makes a mean martini. Carmel apple! She got me drunk though because Ross said he was driving and then she filled my cocktail right up again. We had great conversation. Hope she liked me J Ross said she did because she called all his brothers to tell them she met me.

Then after that he took me to a sushi place because I love sushi. It is like Benihana. Where you have your own chef at your table and he does all these tricks and throw food in your mouth. We got shrimp, chick, steak, lobster, and scallops. Delicious…except the chef tried to throw a chunk of lobster in my mouth and it landed on my eye. They called me butter eye all night. Then we went to a gamin place and had a blast, and then home to watch a movie. Sunday we lazed around (I love lazy Sundays), got breakfast, visited some friends, and took a nap. A perfect Sunday I would say. So that was my fabulous weekend. He is coming up this weekend to meet my dad and we are all going snowmobiling. It will be a blast. Sigh………

Oops

I'm sorry way too long. Hmm what is new. I went to Cabo, it was amazing. Kay and I had the best time ever. We brought our Moo Moos along and took fancy pictures in them...see pics below. I laid in the sun every day, danced the night away, and drank way too much. You know it is really sad when all the bartenders know your name. Oh well i'm on vacation damnit.

What else. I met someone. He is awesome, super sweet, hilarious, amazing. Have you ever met someone and instantly knew there was a connection. Have you ever met someone and can't get through a single conversation without laughing, or freak each other out because you are so similar. I finally say that i can. It is sweet i'm not gonna lie.

Packing List!

Alright call me a nerd, call me crazy… but I’m going to Mexico in 55 days! Yes I know a long way out there right. But I always think how quick everything flys by especially with Christmas coming up and thanksgiving… Ok I admit it I already started a packing list. With money flying out the door I always need to organize and prioritize items that I will need for my trip so I can save for them…hense a suitcase. I don’t have one… always borrowed but now I want to buy one!

Anyways how do you do your packing list? Or do you even do one? Mine is crafty, organized, and freaking long. First I type everything down in a list just off the top of my head. Then a few days later I go back in to it and add to it of course. I also then split them into categories… yes people I know I don’t have a life but let me tell you if you were lost in the wood you would want me by your side I never forget anything and I don’t overpack. On vacations I always just bring a carry on. I manage to stuff everything under the sun in a large purse and a carry on. I hate luggage checks and once they lost our luggage to Jamaica, luckily they found it but that was just luck! After I separate them into clothes, bathroom, etc etc categories I make another list for ABSOLUTELY IMPORTANT ITEMS… like passports, wallet, checkbook, etc. If I don’t have it written down I will forget guaranteed. I always check this as the days pass like remembering things such as a carmea charger, ipod for the plane, gum for the plane cause my ears hurt so bad, gameboy for the plane, ok I have ADD on a plane I hate flying and can’t sit still. I also always remember things like travel detergent, incase I spill, perfume, toilet paper (hey you never know when you gotta go) shampoo, block, asprin, tan lotion…. Ok you get the picture. I also always double check my purse for things you can’t have on a plane, mascara, etc otherwise it is bye bye 8 dollar mascara. I hate to throw out a new tube of lipstick, mascara, and eye solution cause it was in my purse and I didn’t check them. We were running late so it was so long $20+ of fabulous makeup. I was pissed. You will have to look at my fabulous list when it is complete. I swear you all will never look at me the same. It is ridiculous, but I never forget a thing and I am proud of that!

Riddle me this....

How come everytime i have to take a drivers license picture or a passport picture it turns out awful. I'm not extrememly photogenic, but i mean there are an occasional few nice pics that come out of the mix, but of course it is never one that everyone on the planet will see. From cute single bartenders to cute single cops to cute single... well you get the picture.

So today i went and refiled for a new passport. I went to Jamaica about 2 years ago and somewhere between customs in North Carolina and Minneapolis coming home i lost it. I have looked literaly for 2 years for it, in every nook and cranny but no sign of the poor lost passport. I only used it twice. Once to Mexico in 2006 and once to Jamaica in 2007. So anyways, i have no idea where it went and never got a new one cause i never thought of going on vacation again. Well January 8-15 the Kofstads and I are heading to fabulous Playa Del Carmen mexico to stay in a 5 star luxuary all inclusive resort called the Rui Palace. It is the best Rui you can stay at. They have 5 resorts next to each other and since we are staying at the best we can go to all of them and eat at all the places and go dancing at all the clubs. Yes i am very excited. Mike and Kay and one of my very bestest friends.

Anyways so i fill out the 100 pages of information for my lost and new passport. I get all beautified cause i knew i was going to get my picture taken at the post office. I sit in the chair, adjust my hair like so, apply a little lipstick and then bam it is over. I am not smiling i look like i am going to kill someone, my cheeks are bright bright red. And the camera automatically prints it out so i can't retake. I was so sad. Why God can't i just have a nice picture. Can't i like cut out a picture of me at prom or something and use that as the picture. Or even better a picture of me and butters. Butters will rope in the single guys! He is so cute how can he not. Maybe i will just purposly loose this passport so i can retake. ok maybe not! Thanks for listening... or reading... or whatever!

Thanksgiving Divorce

I just had to share this.

A man in Phoenix calls his son in New York two days before Thanksgiving and says,'I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is enough. 'Pop, what are you talking about?' the son screams. We can't stand the sight of each other any longer,' the father says. 'We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her.' Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. 'Like heck they're getting divorced,' she shouts, 'I'll take care of this,' She calls Phoenix immediately, and screams at her father, 'You are NOT getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?'and hangs up.

The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. 'Okay,' he says, 'they're coming for Thanksgiving and paying their own way.'

Habits

How come there are someday when time just flies and other where you feel someone is tearing your toemail off with a tweezer? It is finally my lunch hour… today is going so slow at work and I am so extremely busy. Usually when I am busy (which is all the time) I look up and boom it is lunch. Not today.

My dad yesterday just pointed out something that I do quite often and now I notice I do it all the time. I talk to the TV. Let me explain…I watch as the world turns on CBS. I just started a year ago because my lunch hour is from 1-2 and that is when it is on. I am addicted… addicted people. I can’t wait to get home and flip that baby on and watch the drama unfold. My dad ever so politely pointed out one day that I was screaming at the TV because Katie was about to get caught snooping in Spencers stuff. Ok understandable. Then he pointed out that I literally talk to the TV. Like conversation… “Why are you going in the Katie, I know that she is going to come it”, “You are so stupid Jack, you need to kick that B**** out the room”. It doesn’t matter what I watch I start talking to it out loud. I think I think I am talking in my head but I don’t. I do it at every show I watch and even movies. Now that someone has finally pointed it out to me I notice it 24-7. It is so weird. One time my friend pointed out to me that I used fabulous in almost every sentence. Then I realized magically that I do. I wonder how many other habits I have and people haven’t told me. If you see one tell me. It is so weird.

It happened again....and a random thought

Alright that is it…. I am convinced that spiders are plotting together to get me. seriously listen to this incident today at work. No one ever sees spiders in their offices… oh yea except me. So I was tying away on my adding machine like a crazy woman and the poof here come this black deadly spider trickling down its web from my filing cabinet which hangs above my adding machine. Yes I freaked and you would to. So I murdered it quickly with my note pad (which I will no long use cause of the bloody mess on the back of it). Then no lie I went over to water my plant that sits on the ground in my office. As I am singing and watering away I notice movement from the bottom on the pot.. Yes people there is was ANOTHER deadly evil disgusting black spider. This time I screamed I couldn’t help it. I stomped like I was in river dance and thankfully got it. Why are things I hate attracted to me. I also hate cats. I’m sorry cat lovers I do not like them one bit. I have only met one cat that I liked and that was because he acted like a dog. I am extremely allergic and just don’t like the claws and creepy stretching and snooty ness… So in other words if there is a cat within 10 miles they will want to come see me or sit on my lap or rub on my leg. Ew!

RANDOM THOUGHT:
Fall is here and I don’t like it. I only like summer. I truly believe I belong on an island out in the Caribbean…preferably alone.. Wait no I need my dog then I will be happy as long as I have my man Butters, a cell phone so I can text, and my coach purses so I can stare at them and how beautiful they are. oh wait I also want my new car cause I love that as well.

High School

This last weekend I went to my best friends wedding. Don and I have been best friends since 7th grade. We still remember our 3 minute secret hand shake we have had since then. It was a tough wedding realizing he is off to start his life. We were homecoming prince and princess in 10th grade and homecoming king and queen our senior year. We went to sno-frolic together and prom. Always had the best of times and still kept in touch as we moved out into the big bad adult world. While at the wedding I kept thinking of great high school memories that I will cherish forever. So, I thought I should share some with you…

Jenn and I have a lot of good ones together… like the time we were cruising around in my car and were laughing so hard I almost smashed into the side of Mobil. Or the time it was slippery out and I smashed into Kyle’s car. How about the time when I got suspended with my friend Carl for saying Blow Job in front of 8th graders, or the time we thought we were bad and smoked parsley, or the time I thought I was a bad ass and stole a cup from Holiday and the felt so guilty I returned it the next day, I swear I got kicked out in the hall like every day from Dettmann’s class for being a smart ass. Oh how I miss the drama and crushes and no worries about bills or work, I remember I use to be able to party till 1 in the morning and get up at 6 for work. Wow I feel quite old now. There is no way I could do that anymore. I remember smoke cruises everyday at lunch and stopping at Holiday and getting a chicken and swiss every single day. I remember getting my heart broken for the first time and how nice my shop teacher was and let me go home for the day. I remember laughing so hard that Mrs. Yoki threatened to kick Earl, Bob and I out of accounting. It was because of her I went to school for what I did. One time we had a hypnotist come to the school and I was chosen. I faked the whole thing in front of the whole school. It was hilarious. I think to this day some people still believe it was real. Or the time Tanner borrowed wait stole.... my linkin park cd. I never saw it again. Don and I would bring out fold out lawn chairs and store then in a locker so every morning while kids sat on the ground waiting for school to start we had nice comfy chairs. I remember sleeping through both of my after proms. I remember making ‘make out’ trips to the slab with my boyfriend. I remember coming home bawling because I had no boobs and someone called me anorexic. I remember our sweet sleep overs at Stephs house and raiding her parents booze and filling them back up with water. I think her parents still don’t know. I remember when I got caught by my dad drinking for the first time. He didn’t ground me, he took my contacts away from me and made me wear my nasty bi focal thick glasses. It was the worst punishment ever.

Enough I remembers for ya? What do you remember best about high school?

Cars, Spiders, Under Pressure, Oh My....

Well um wow. I just rushed home from work on my lunch and whipped this bad boy up. So… work is good, friends are good, Butters is good, all is good. What is new with me?!? Well have you ever felt like you have 800 million things to accomplish in 20 seconds. Yep that is how I feel. You know that song Under Pressure I think it is by Queen, yea that is playing non stop in my head. Work, cheerleading, tutoring center, bowling league, friends, life, family, stamp club, dog, kids…. Oh wait thank god NO on that one. But for some weird reason I manage to get everything done that I need. It is a good feeling I give it that. This last week I bought my new car. Here is a pic but it is black. She is so beautiful I love her so. I want to drive around and around in circles singing life is a highway. Maybe I will do that after work.

Tonight I am not up to much. I was attacked this morning by a huge spider. I swear it was hissing and chomping at me. It even had that super big butt so I am sure there were millions of babies hiding in there waiting for their chance to attack me. I swear I almost had a stroke. But fortunately I had Butters in my arms so I used him as a shield. I know I probably shouldn’t have kids. I’ll use them as shield for spiders and such. Ick I hate them so much I would rather go swimming in a lake of snakes then have to look at one spider. They are evil little monsters all plotting to get me when I am sleeping or least expect it. I am so afraid of them I am even considering living in a bubble like that movie bubble boy. Trust me if you knew me...I’m serious.

I'm bbbbaaaack

I got my computer back it was out of commission. I fried my battery after years of use at school. FYI New post coming soon....

WE FEST

Well I just got back from We fest. For you who do not know of We Fest, it is a three day concert with all the big names in country music. 55,000 people were in attendance this year. I guess it was a new record. Everyone camps out in a giant field and pretty much gets drunk and act stupid. I fortunately got to camp with some not so stupid drunk people who think the only purpose in life is to get wasted and try to see boobs. So I had a good time. I left last Wednesday and then returned Sunday afternoon. Now lets get one thing straight I am not a fan of country. I am a rock girl through and through. I dislike country so much that when Jenn and I use to cruse around town in high school and college she automatically knew to turn off the country music and turn on some rock. So not being a country music fan I decided that I would try it and perhaps will come home like country. It didn’t happen. I watched… Taylor Swift, Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts, Little Big Town, Brad Paisley. Nope none of them turned me. I enjoyed my self at the concerts but not for the music, more for the conversation and people watching. One of the highlights at the fest was who I was camping with. I camped with Jim and Ashley ( who are getting married this weekend and I’m in their wedding) and their family. We had about 30 people in our camp. They all had RV’s and parked them in a giant circle so no campers could penetrate our camp. Then we all stretched out in the little field we made with our circle. We had screen tents, cooking area, tables, chairs, canopies, yard games of every proportion. It was fabulous, but the best thing of all every camper or mini group took a meal. Either breakfast or dinner. We all took turns making only one meal. Ours was the first night we made lasagna for everyone and then the rest of the long weekend we got to enjoy everyone else’s. This was no crappy cheap camping food. This was the real deal… breakfast burritos, fajitas, jambalaya, egg bakes, roast beef sandwiches, chicken stir-fry. We even made a couple of amazing Waps (I don’t know how to spell it, tons of fruit soaking in booze). It was awesome never having to worry about a meal. Best idea ever. By sat I was ready to go home. It was sunny and 85 the whole weekend. I can’t complain it was nice and never any bugs and I didn’t get a sun burn thanks to my handy cowboy hat. I had an awesome time but wouldn’t go back. Next summer I am going to rock fest, which is just like we fest maybe a little smaller but not much. Then I will know all the words. It was definitely worth it though even though I am not a country girl. Well I just got back from We fest. For you who do not know of We Fest, it is a three day concert with all the big names in country music. 55,000 people were in attendance this year. I guess it was a new record. Everyone camps out in a giant field and pretty much gets drunk and act stupid. I fortunately got to camp with some not so stupid drunk people who think the only purpose in life is to get wasted and try to see boobs. So I had a good time. I left last Wednesday and then returned Sunday afternoon. Now lets get one thing straight I am not a fan of country. I am a rock girl through and through. I dislike country so much that when Jenn and I use to cruse around town in high school and college she automatically knew to turn off the country music and turn on some rock. So not being a country music fan I decided that I would try it and perhaps will come home like country. It didn’t happen. I watched… Taylor Swift, Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts, Little Big Town, Brad Paisley. Nope none of them turned me. I enjoyed my self at the concerts but not for the music, more for the conversation and people watching. One of the highlights at the fest was who I was camping with. I camped with Jim and Ashley ( who are getting married this weekend and I’m in their wedding) and their family. We had about 30 people in our camp. They all had RV’s and parked them in a giant circle so no campers could penetrate our camp. Then we all stretched out in the little field we made with our circle. We had screen tents, cooking area, tables, chairs, canopies, yard games of every proportion. It was fabulous, but the best thing of all every camper or mini group took a meal. Either breakfast or dinner. We all took turns making only one meal. Ours was the first night we made lasagna for everyone and then the rest of the long weekend we got to enjoy everyone else’s. This was no crappy cheap camping food. This was the real deal… breakfast burritos, fajitas, jambalaya, egg bakes, roast beef sandwiches, chicken stir-fry. We even made a couple of amazing Waps (I don’t know how to spell it, tons of fruit soaking in booze). It was awesome never having to worry about a meal. Best idea ever. By sat I was ready to go home.

Life

Wow, oops… Been a while. I’m sorry so so sorry.

RECAP:
My boyfriend is almost complete in siding his house. Yea! Then he can stop talking about his projects. Haha!
I am going to we-fest!! My best friend Miranda is coming with I’m so excited. We are meeting up with Jim and Ashley and are going to have the time of our lives listening to crappy country music (I hate country but am going for the party and friends) and drinking a few cocktails.
It was Bay Days last weekend. I had a great time with my girls. We went out to eat at the Crossings and it was fabulous. There was a whooping 14 of us. They didn’t have enough places so my boyfriend and his son ever so nicely volunteered to sit at the bar while we waiting for a table to open up. I had chicken wings like usual and they were fabulous.
Cheerleading season is about to start up. At bay days we sold almost $700 worth of sweatshirts, tee shirts, etc. It was wonderful. Money we need money!!!! I am praying this season goes well. I’m not thrilled to get up at 7 now. Practice is from 7:45 to 9 in the morning and then Jenn and I go to work. Ick!
It was my Dad’s 50th b-day party. My brother and I, ok really me, surprised my dad with a 42’ LG 1080p LCD Tv. He started crying over it. It was a real surprise. He deserved it.
Haven’t seen my brother in a while and I really miss him. Jordan and I are very close. My family is very affectionate and he has me wrapped around his finger. He wants me to come down soon and see him in Duluth…aka come down so I buy him dinner and what ever else he asks for. Oh well that is what big sisters are for. He can get whatever he wants he just asks in a nice voice and says please sissy… ergh little shit… ok he isn’t little he is 20.
George and I are going to Kennel train Butters. My heart is breaking just saying that but it needs to be done. When Butters spends the night he ends up pacing the whole night and whining. We figured out why. When his dog Jimmy is there I think Butters gets nervous and jealous so he keeps us up all night wanting attention. So we are going to train him to sleep in his kennel when he acts up. I’m such a push over with him but he needs to listen better. It is really hard.
My review is coming up at work. I’m actually excited about it. I have been taking on a lot of projects at work and they are turning out really nice. I’m very proud of them.
My bday is almost here. I don’t know why I still look forward to my bday. I mean it is on a Thursday, I don’t get presents anymore, and I am getting older (isn’t that a bad thing), but I still do get excited. I hope my ladies and I can go for cocktails. I think I am going to take the next day off because George and I are going up to International Falls for the long weekend. Hairball my favorite band!!! Is playing up there. He owns a house boat on Rainy Lake so me and my boy will be floating all weekend listening to awesome music.
How is that for a recap. What are you doing for Labor Day? Do you still look forward to your bday?
