Cute story I've never heard before.

Aunt Dawn wrote on my facebook page today and I couldn't resist putting the story she wrote on my blog because I had never heard it before...and when I read it it just sounds like me. LOL

"1981, our farm, Missouri: you were 3, or almost 3... your mom brought you over to the house for a visit after she had gone to town. Mom asked her to pick up a gallon of milk for us. She carried it up to the steps of the back door, but you wanted to carry it in and it was very heavy for your little body. So, you lifted it up to the one step, then the next step, then into the house, struggling the whole time. We were all watching you & cracking up. It was THE cutest thing!"

This seriously sounds like me. "Hey Ma, I want to do it, let me do it. I'm too small but I'll figure out a way." That is so me. LOL This story made me laugh. Notice...that I was smart enough to put it up each step one at a time instead of trying to haul it. ha ha LOL

 

Jen Update

So...yeah, I'm a horrible blogger lately. Horrible. I've been really busy, no consistent computer access, blah blah blah...I'll spare you all the details.

So just thought I'd give you an update on what's going on.

1. Our last co-ed softball game tomorrow. Wicked! Glad it's over because I have a terrible batting average this year. I can't get on to save my life. Fielding I'm excellent but batting isn't very good. I tried working on it but everything I did didn't help. So...maybe I'll be better next year. I'm super sad though because I love to pla. wait let me emphasize I LOVE TO PLAY!

2. My right knee aches like a bad tooth. Not sure why. It just does. I think it's a combination of factors including: I'm getting old, I pulled the f*ck out of my hamstring at the beginning of the season, I must lay funny when I sleep, I need to work out more because usually it doesn't hurt then.

3. Life has been stressful lately. Way too much at once. More than I'd like to have to handle. I'm handling it, I just wish when it rained it didn't fricken' storm. Such is life though. I'm waiting to get through this to some good times again.

4. I went to Country Jam with my cousin Jamie and we had a blast. We saw Tim Sigler (he's a stud), Jamie Johnson (a little boring), Blake Shelton (he's quite an entertainer) and Tim McGraw (God damn he's sexy...couldn't stop drooling and getting certain images in my head...ahem.) Of course I was drunk from 4 p.m. until past midnight so...anyways.

5. Mom's 50th Surprise Birthday party was on Saturday. We had sooooo much fun! She had absolutely no clue at all. NONE! So she was totally flabbergasted when we surprised her. It was hilarious to watch her face. Total shock and awe! Want to hear the funniest thing of the night though? Both Mom and Dad didn't drink so they were sober cab for their children. Mom took Auntie Sheila, me and Kimmie home. Dad took Jimmy (the puker) and Chris home. LOL I thought that was hilarious. It's Mom's party and she's taking my drunk ass home. LOL

6. I need a vacation like I need air right now. The Steele County Free Fair is coming up and I've got a couple days off for that so hopefully I can forget all about work (highly likely) and have some fun. I know a couple nights will involve heavy drinking. LOL

7. I love my little cousin Traci. She is so cute and she has no qualms about being my sober cab when I need it. Lately, I have not needed her so much but she always is willing to haul my drunk but home. I think it's so great to have a cousin like that. :)

8. I'm already working on plans to go to Florida for Twins Spring Training camp in Marchof 2010. Kimmie was laughing at me but hey, no harm in getting an idea of costs now, easier to save if you've got more time.

9. When life gives you lemons you are supposed to make lemonade but lately I feel like I've been drinking so much lemonade I'm getting mouth sores. LOL I just thought that analogy was funny. Can I have some happiness please?
