I've been getting rightful harrassment for my neglect of Jerneez.com. This weekend we got all kinds of new shelving and a desk for my new room so Carolyne, Rob, and I have been working diligently, putting it all together and organizing. I rearranged my room now and it's super cozy.

Yesterday I took a new temp job. For the next month or so I'll be working on Saturdays and Sundays at a boat marina near here. It should be interesting, but mostly help pay some extra bills.

Also, we decided to give up the new cell phones we just purchased. Cingular SUX...the service was pitiful out here so I'm working on getting a new setup. For those of you who need to reach me, you can call me on the land line here.
Ok, so I'll work on being more entertaining here. For now I must go get ready for some kidsittin'.

Sorry for the lack of posting...I've been trying to get adjusted to all things new. This weekend was spent babysitting and layin' low with my friends and Jason. Last night we went to Rascals Comedy Club in West Orange and laughed till our cheeks hurt. Today was back to work with Jacob and Aden. Brooke and I got a couple hours while the boys slept to plant!! It was soooo fun! Seriously. I'm sorry that I'm sounding so boring lately...please don't stop checking this page. I'll try to get creative soon. Just give me another week or so.;-)

Well, so far the new job/gig is going really well. I get to sleep in way lots and work out. I think all I needed to do was mix it up a little. My brain was turning to mush. Jacob seemed to miss me. When I went back there on Monday he had SOOO much to talk about. Aden's gotten huge in only 2 weeks! Sam and Jake are 3 and 6 months. I started there yesterday. Adorable kids. And on Friday I get to play with Anneliese...the princess.;-)

I'm BACK!! On Wednesday night I got to stay with Jackie in her new house and had chinese buffet, then on Thursday I stayed with the Rowles' and Kari played hookie to hang with me...well, kinda. Friday afternoon I left the Twin Cities and headed to Manitowac, WI where I stayed with my friend Mindy who used to be a nanny here in Jersey. Had a great time with her and then on Saturday mornin' I went to Milwaukee to pick up Kacey (my newest hero) who came out just to drive me back. We stopped in her hometown of Freeport, Illinois where I got to meet the fam and friends and then we pulled an all-nighter gettin' back here. All in all, awesome vacation. I feel super relaxed and ready to hang out with the kiddies again.
I'm now living with Carolyne, Rob, and Anneliese in their beautiful home. Going through environment transition at the moment.
And last night I got to go out with my adorable boyfriend, Jason. We ate at Monster Sushi , home of the Monster Roll. ERRRR...angry fish.

This has been such a great week of downtime for me. I'd like to say that I've been doing all kinds of fun stuff, but sleep is about the only sweet thing I've been up to in the last few days. Tomorrow I think I'll head to the big St. Cloud to see if I can round up any Sue's or Jean's and maybe even some Bravo Burritos.

Oh, and Jason just bought us tickets to see Ben Folds and Tori Amos in August! SOOO excited. The schedule is as follows....
Tori Amos and Ben Folds, August 22
John Mayer and Counting Crows , August 29
Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds, September 5

CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!

After a smooth day of relaxing on Friday, what else was there to do but...WORK???!! Yah, I got suckered into working at the lighting store both Sat. and Sun. but also fit in some play time. Last night I went to Kari and Erik's and we headed downtown Mpls to Lonetree. Funness. Tonite I'm going to dinner with my dad and then have a meeting with a lady from Tastefully Simple. We'll see what happens.
