missing

So a small little part of me came up missing on Friday morning before I was trying to leave for Wichita... my Blackberry! I don't like to accuse people of stealing as my track record for losing things by myself isn't good...however this time I’m almost 99% sure someone is now taking advantage of my favorite little red device. I guess I learned my lesson and should just be blessed that it was only my phone! From now on I will take only my keys to work and keep my cell phone on me at all times!

You don't realize how much you depended/used something until its gone! At first I was REALLY upset as I didn't want to head to Wichita without my phone (not to mention it had my whole life on it-calendar,contacts, photos,etc) but then as I got on the road (without it) this since of peace came over me. It was the best 2 days ever! I loved the fact that no one could get a hold of me and I couldn't contact anyone else! This day and age we thrive on being able to stay connected with the outside world at ALL times and I think this effects how we view life.

So now I am currently using my old flip phone until I make my decision of what to do. Decisions/Decisions!

Update

So its been 1 month and 1 day since I posted last and alot has gone on since then...but I won't bore you with the details. Major detail: My computer broke and was able to get a new one thanks to Best Buy "no lemon" program!


My little project of the evening: Valentines Day Cookies!

Tomorrow I have to go to Emporia Presbyterian Manor for work. After work i'm going to go visit my grandparents and eat supper with them! My grandma is still fighting caner and grandpa has turned into the chef, so i'm going to give him a break for the evening and bring supper to them!  Can't wait!

Saturday: KSU basketball game in Manhattan

Sunday: Relax and CLEAN (did I mention CLEAN) my house needs it! Oh and my sister is to come into down for a 4-H event. I think i'm going to have lunch with her and my old 4-H agent.

Hope everyone has a HAPPY FRIDAY and a GREAT WEEKEND!

Baby its cold outside!

I can't believe how cold it has been the last couple of days! Today was a refreshing change to see the sun and it did feel a little bit warmer.

Thursday I went over to the Patton's to have a delicious dinner, watch the National Championship Game, and meet little Sami! Good time was had by all! Thanks to the Patton's for inviting me over- can't wait to see Sami again!

Yesterday I went to KC to see Katie & David. Katie & I went to the KC Bridal Show to get some ideas for her big day. We were able to get  a few ideas, and if anything it was nice just to be able to spend time with each other.We went to Nikos for dinner.. yummy! I love that place, even if its one that you can only go to once a year because of the cost! A crazy thing happened-- a lady that was my manager in highschool at Pfaltzgraff sat next to us at the restaurant. She had came up to KC for the weekend and just happened to reserve the same time as we did. Crazy small world.

Friday night I got to see my other parents (Katie's parents) they were in Topeka for the Kansas fairs and festivals convention. The convention had a music/talent showcase where bands get 20 minutes to give a mini concert and show us what they got. I enjoyed listening to all the different groups. Thanks to Bev & Steve for inviting me!

New Years Revolutions- overall doing okay. I have been GOING to work with a positive attitude...(can't say that it lasts throughout the whole day-- but hey- got to start somewhere. I worked out this last week (not very hard-but at least started me off) I have a hard time working out when is SOO cold outside. Hopefully it will warm up just a little bit outside so it will be better.

Received a couple unexpected phone calls-which is always fun!

This week I need to get Christmas thankyou cards out, I feel really behind on this one!
Stay Warm!

It was a year full of lots of change for me, not sure it has been my favorite year so far-- but a good one none the less. 2010 looks to be a year with weddings and i'm excited to celebrate these times with friends! ( including my best friends wedding) :)

This year a few things that I'm going to work on is: my weight, getting back to regularly exercising (this is one thing that I lost in 2009) finding a church in Topeka area, continuing to grow and develop my relationships with friends & family, going to work with a positive attitude, living for today, possibility starting my masters, & making the most of my current life without trying to picture the future.
 
Below you can find what I woke up to at my place on Christmas. Needless to say I was kind of snowed in, but still made it to work-- just took a while.

Bring on 2010
