Let's Celebrate, It's All Right!

Yeah, I think my parents are now officially more obsessed with American Idol than I am. Not that I care or anything, but you'd think my parents would want to talk to me more than they'd want to watch American Idol!

I called last night and they weren't home, then they called me back right before American Idol. Then dad tries his darnedest to get me off before *gasp* he missed the show. I felt *SO* loved last night! LOL When DUANE wants to talk with me more than daddy, something is wrong LOL

For the Record my mom likes Travis. She think's he's smooth and not that bad for the eyes. LOL That's my mom.

Not too sure who dad likes

and Duane likes Bo the rocker, and Anwar (or as he said "the teacher guy, I can't remember his name, but he sings good.")

I like Bo, Anwar, Carrie, Constantine... and Travis LOL And mom and I agree that Bo looks like Travis Tritt and he even has that same sound.

Speaking of Dad, he got attacked by a Bald Eagle. Okay, well, it was caught in a coyote snare, and dad tried to rescue it and it fought back. But no worries teh Eagle is fine, dad got a fish and game dude to come out and they got the Eagle loose. And I guess teh guy who owns the snares will be in trouble for something he did that made it a "bad" trap... I don't remember what daddy said

Anyway I am watching Dateline right now, and not to be overly rude. But I really think Scott Peterson's half sister is out for money. Her whole crap of I don't want to hurt them, I think is a load of crap. She just *suddenly* feels that he's guilty? I don't buy it! I think it's totally egotistical of her and just wrong... there's my rant


on to the iditarod...

I met with "my boss" today. I am really excited... he isn't going to hover and I have creative license to do it how ever I want. WOOT WOOT!!!

he is really nice and I am really excited about it... and now American Idol is on so I am going to get this done and over with and then I'm going to do some homework and then I'm going to go to bed...


Luv and hugs,

BTW, Paula annoys me, and I think that her drama mama is so old that it's even annoying in People Magazine LOL

Mom sent me this email today:

just a quick note to tell you that your dad has turned into tim allen! he has been putting up Christmas lights since noon today.....all i asked him to do was put up two strings of icecicle lights i had bought at end of season last year....i went to soldotna for about 3 hours and when i got back.....our yard and house is lit up like the northern lights and he is STILL out there....i can't even get him in here to eat dinner!.....he's obsessed....got all the boxes of lights out of the basement that we've been collecting for 20 or more years and is determined to use every string that still works!
well.....wait til you see it!....he is so excited about all you coming home....this is sooooo cool!

then I replied with:
*grunts like Tim* MORE POWER!!!!!! Is he putting anything on the roof? Cuz Tim did that! I think you need a blow up Nativity or something... is this something he and Cary cooked up? are they going to try and outdo each other this year???

and she just sent this email back:
nothing on the roof YET....but the garage has lights around it...no, cary had nothing to do with it....your dad just got on a roll and couldn't stop....of course, after cary sees it, that could start something....some guy drove by when dad was almost finished and tried to hire him to do his house and yard in woodland!

What is really great is the last few years... well they haven't been great. Due to political powers in Washington dad lost his job and we lost a lot of income... dad's been in a funk ever since, but now with his new job he's finally seeing the light again! WOOT WOOT!!

will keep everyone updated ;)

dad got teh call on Monday... he got the job as a medical technician at teh VA(Veterans not Animal ;)) Medical Clinic... it's a federal job so he's off by 4:30 every day and has weekends and holidays off!!!!! As well as 3 weeks paid vacation every year... as well as sick days and great stuff like that! He has to have like a week of training(he hasn't done the nurse stuff since the Vietnam war!) up in Anchorage and then something like 2 more weeks of training here... I'm so excited though! :) It's teh best job he's had in eons! :)

VBS is going well... and I doubt I'll have any time to myself until after it's over...

Dad is applying for a job at the VA hospital here in town! Which means more $$ and benefits!!!! and he'll have awesome hours... and he'll be doing what he wanted to do every since getting out of the service... taking people's blood! YEAY!

keep him in your prayers, he really wants/needs this job!
