Currently Listening Dutchess By Fergie see related

So the Black Eyed Peas were on the Today show this morning.  They sang My Humps, and were allowed to say "ass" the whole song.  I was pretty surprised.  The Today show is getting liberal people!  I was a little disappointed in the suckiness of the group live.  I always heard they had an awesome show live, and Fergie sounded just like every other wannabe singer, she didn't have any of the intonations or quality that she normally has in her songs.  Plus, I think I DEFINATELY saw some anomosity between Will I M and Fergie.  She was trying to strut around and do her humps dancing and he was standing away from her, and if she held her hand out to him, he grabbed it half heartedly.  He also did his part of the song with no enthusiasm at all, like he was trying to let the whole world know he'd rather be somewhere else.  I think that is way too bad, because that band MADE her...and now she's taking off on her own and leaving the guys in the dust.  It can be argued that she made the BEPs famous because they only hit mainstream when they hired her, but still...I don't want the guys to lose fame while she does booty songs and gets even more rich.

A lot about nothing...that is what that last paragraph was about =)

I applied at JCPenney in Southdale for a photography position.  I'm excited, it sounds like I have a good chance of getting it.  Then I can work around John's schedule and not have to put Cooper in daycare, and I can learn more about studio photography, which is where my knowledge is lacking.  My "skill set" if you will.  I have not yet achieved my potential on the "learning curve".  Sorry, those phrases are like nails on a chalk board to me...my old boss used them constantly =)

I'm loving our house and MN and all the possibilities.  I'm loving how John is so happy and eager to fix the house and just at peace with situations.  Niether of us are too excited about our money issues, but I think it will turn out ok.  It will just take some creativity and organization...uh oh!

We got a wedding!  I'm excited.  That is two weddings in MN now, and we booked the event photography of Concordia's homecoming, so that is neat too.  I think it will be fun.

Beautiful September days...I love you.

I want my own internet again...doing this at the library is getting a little old.  Goodness I'm spoiled.

Thanks to all the wonderful people who helped with the move!  Thomas and Kim, Tracy and Steve, you guys coming early was perfect because the amount we moved in the morning allowed the afternoon crew to get done right on time and with only two loads!  The Monday afternoon crew thanks you =)

Brian, Wendy, Paul, George, Steph and Mom...thank you so much!!!!  We hope it wasn't too difficult, and I'm so glad the day was nice as was the beer and the company =)

We spent our first night in our home and I almost couldn't sleep with all the ideas running through my head.  But I can't do anything to the house yet, got to wait for some money first.

I'm so glad we are back in MN! 

I'm thinking of switching to MySpace...is it better? 

Ahhh, Renaissance Festival...so glad I got to be with you again!  It felt so weird to be dressed like a normal person.  I missed my corset, and I think not being dressed up made me annoyed rather with the Rennies a little bit.  If I was dressed up, maybe I feel more in character. 

Or maybe I'm just more pissy in general this week.  I had a row with Emily, and I totally picked the fight, but things needed to get said.  I don't know what to do about my family.  I would love to adopt the "meh" mode, but if everyone does that, then we all just get pissed that nothing is getting done.  I don't want to just focus on me because I want to help my family...I don't want to become so distant that we don't know each other.  And I don't have "talks" with my family so they will do what I think is right, but to just listen and try to help things along.

Grrrrr.

Right now Cooper is grabbing my fingers while I type, it is really cute =) 

We're going to WI this weekend to see Michael and Kristy and their little pregnant belly!  We totally can't afford it, but it will be nice to get away from worrying about our house and just be able to hang out.  Then we have to do a hard core day of moving, but I'm hoping it will go ok.  I'm also hoping my father will maybe pitch in for some moving costs, but I know that won't happen. 

I'm going to check out MySpace and see if I should move my site over there...

I just dropped off an application to Crate & Barrel in Southdale.  I would love the position there of Design Assistant...but they wouldn't interview me...they have to review my application, which sucks because I was in my killer new interview outfit, thanks to my "design team".  My ear is totally plugged, and I'm really dizzy, this is a strange feeling.  And even more weird because I have to take care of Cooper no matter how I'm feeling.  Thank goodness for John!

Cooper is so cute I can't get over it.  What a darling boy!  He is changing and developing so fast I don't know what to do!

I am so excited to get into our house, even though we won't be able to do things to it, it will be ours and have lots of space and be a very very good thing!

Christina, you did it again, what a wonderful artist you are.  Thanks, lovely Steph, for the CD!
