Ahh... what a day!
Today Justine and I went to the pool for a few good hours, came back, showered, went to the library, and then stopped at the grocery store. We came back to my place, made supper and then sat down and played some wii. It was good stuff.
Today, I think I might have met my soulmate. Now, I'm completely kidding when I say this... but you know, a girl can dream, right? Lets hope he wasn't though! Justine and I were driving down Grand Ave when all of a sudden at stop light this red pick up pulls up next to me, I look over... holy cow! What a gorgeous sight! So anywho... he smiled, waved. I laughed and drove off (the light turned green) At the next red light, he pulled up again... took off his sunglasses, smiled and then winked. Cheesy, I know... but oh man... talk about a pretty smile! At the next stop light I had every intention of throwing my phone number on a piece of paper into his truck.. but he TURNED OFF. Total bummer. He was gorgeous... and that it lifted my spirits. ...As did the extremely cute guy at the library, atleast he said 'hi'. Haha!
Other than those few adventures, not much happening today.
I called a few of the places back that I applied too. Lynn has connections at one place so she's going to call tomorrow on that. Another place asked me to call back in September and they would for sure help me out somewhere, (I think I made a really awesome impression with the lady in HR. She seemed eager to help me land a job). As for Buffalo Wild Wings, he said he'd call me back ASAP. So hopefully tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed, I know mine are!
I think the farmer's market is in town tomorrow, so I'm going to venture down there and maybe pick up some fresh flowers.
Strong storms are heading into this area "LATE" tonight. So... I'm thinking I should probably head to bed early so I'm prepared to be awake if I have to be.... oh how I hate storms when I'm alone...

Nothing to much happened today. Just cleaned and cleaned some more! I never thought I'd be as anal when it came to keeping everything neat and tidy... guess not! I clean atleast twice a week, and by cleaning I mean breaking out the vaccum cleaner and windex. Guess the floor and windows can never be TOO clean, huh? I moved Espy's liter box from the bathroom to into the large closet out here. I was sick of seeing cat liter in my bathtub! No more, and it seems to be working out for us both.
I ran to the mall today. I exchanged some shoes. It was tough, leaving without buying something more though. I'm used to buying new clothes frequently... not anymore though. Bills will win over clothes anyday, no matter how cute they are.
Meet and greet for school is Thursday at 2:30. I stopped at UW-MC today to pick up some information on how to get started for the spring semester. I filled out the online application and am scheduled to take the ACT in October. Maybe I should have just gotten it over with in high school, oh well. Nobody tell Travis Kath I just said that, haha.
I just want to school to start. Mostly, I want the end of this month. I really need a job and not getting any call backs is starting to worry me. I'm beginning to think maybe that's why I'm not sleeping very well, though I partially blame Espy for that the not sleeping thing. I swear... every morning she tries to climb into the blinds, it's so loud. Pretty soon she's just going to start getting locked out at night.
I put up a couple of hooks today after cleaning. Both being by the front door. One right next to it for my keys, and the other being on the back wall for my recycle Badger bags. I always forget to take them with me, so maybe this will help.
I really need a job.....
No big plans for the rest of the night. I think I might throw some cheese fries in and sit down and watch Step Brothers. I think I could use a good laugh to get me out of this rut I feel like I'm in.

So last night it stormed and stormed and stormed and then stormed some more. Now, when I was little, I was TERRIFIED of storms, but as I grew older, I really didn't care. Hmmm.... yeah, not so much anymore... It started raining around midnight and then stormed from 1AM to about 5:30. Lets just say I didn't crawl into bed until around 5:30 this morning. I was pissed, haha. I tried to fall asleep, but no go.
Tonight, Dad and I met up in Stevens Point and carpooled to Almond, WI where we had supper at Two Lakes. You can ask anyone you want, but unless they tell that Two Lakes has the best pizza ever, they're lieing. I've been going to Two Lakes with family since I was young and I suppose just being back there tonight felt nice and homelike. I appreciated it, and I was super excited that Dad wanted to go. We had a great meal and an even better conversation together.
As for tonight, no big plans. Just going to go put my PJs on soon and curl up on the couch and finish a book. I'm currently reading the autobiography of Fran Drescher (The Nanny). I never knew she had cancer! It's an awesome book full of humor, sad times, and dirty thoughts... I love it!

Well, It's seven days in and I don't even know where to begin! Maybe with the basics, huh? Sure thang :)
I graduated from high school less than three months ago and I worked my butt of in the beginning of summer to be able to afford to move out on my own, and guess what? It worked! So here I am, in my beautiful one bedroom apartment, living in the Wausau, Wisconsin area awaiting school to start!
I'm originally from Wisconsin Rapids which is well over fifty miles from here. Within Rapids resides my dad - John, my brother - Brother, my sister-in-law - Cassie, my niece - Hallie, and of course my aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandmother live there also. My mom, Penny, lives a good two hours away from here in Baraboo, Wisconsin. Now, I'm not TOTALLY alone here in Wausau... I do have my mom's best friend, Lynn, and her daughter - Justine who just live a few exits off the interstate up. They've been awesome at making sure I have everything I need and whatnot. And then there's Espy. My adorable two year old cat who's just a bucket of play and love! It's like she knows when I'm scared and when I need extra love. Like just last night, it was my first night sleeping in my bedroom than rather on the couch, and Espy never ONCE left my side. She's such a sweetie.
Onto the more exciting stuff!
Like I said, I'm 7 days in on my own and I'm still alive! Things are going very well so far with no major problems. I recieved my first bill in the mail yesterday, it's due the 25th, so don't let me forget to pay it! Ha!
As for now, I'm just filling my days with cleaning and running errands. I've been trying to get out as much as possible in the area, just to get familiar with everything, you know? It's been working, too :)
I'm also trying to find a church to call home. So far I've just been to one, St. Mary's. My mom thinks that I should try a "Born Against Christian" Church, so I think I found one to try tomorrow morning. My brother would be so proud, getting my faith back and all. For so long last year I had a hard time believing in God, but now I know I'm on the right track in trying to find out which church best suits me as a believer!
I haven't much left to say tonight, but I'll be around!
