Welcome to my blogger! This is so much easier to use than Xanga or any of those other sites.
This will contain aspects of my life that I'm sure you will all find just fascinating, so buckle up and enjoy the ride!

I went to ISU this past weekend. I left Friday after work with mom & Mandy and drove straight down. We made it there right at 7, which was when Derek got off from work, so that was great timing on my part. We all went to dinner at Carlos O'Kelly's (the Irish-Mexican restaurant), and then I went back to Manchester with Derek. Saturday morning he went to work, and I spent the day with mom & Mandy at Miller Park Zoo (yay for wallabys!) and at the mall (yay for Maurices!). I bought some really cute new jeans and jean capris, and a silk tank shirt that is just gorgeous. I got matching earrings and a necklace too. :-) Saturday night I went to dinner with Derek at Biaggi's to celebrate (a week early) our 2 1/2 year anniversary. Then we rented a movie and went back to his room. Sunday morning, Derek went to work and the familia and myself drove home.

Work is going well- first session of camp is already over, and there are only 4 weeks left. Payday is Friday, which is sooo exciting, since my last paycheck (before taxes) just eked me over the 4-digit mark. w00t! After taxes, I was like $180 dollars shorter, so boo on federal taxes! Oh well, I'll hopefully get most of it back next April.

Still job hunting...I'm dying here! Everyone keeps telling me that it's okay, that most schools don't even call until the end of July or first 2 weeks in August, but that's driving me crazy!! I really want a job...ASAP!

See, I told you this would be interesting... more will be coming in days to come!
