Feb. 23rd

Today was Ag Day at the Capital with Ohio Farm Bureau, witch made it a good day. I got see some of my great farm bureau friends. But also we got to hear Governor Ted Strickland and gubernatorial candidate John Kasich speak. That was good and I think I am going to like John Kasich, but most of all I am happy to say both are against HSUS coming into our state and telling our farmers how to do things. It is going to be another busy and crazy fall with this falls elections. The really cool thing today was I won a gift card to Bob Evans. We had lunch with some of our reps but I missed going to there offices to meet with them because I had to head to class. Got to class early enough to get my soils homework done before class, I was worried about that. Had class and it was out early again. Then home for some chatting, watching Olympics and dinner. It was a good Tuesday.


Gov. Strickland speaking

Feb. 22nd

Well up early to finish my project and homework due today. I got the power point done with a little time to spare. Then headed to school and almost no one came to class only four of us did our oral report but having less people there made it easier to do. I did it and hope I did ok, not sure how I did just glade it is all done. Spent the rest of the day as most Mondays, hanging out at school and doing homework. Then evening class and then home. The normal Monday night comedy except I didn't see part of it because of a nice phone conversation.

Feb. 21st

Not much went on this Sunday, I watched the Sunday Morning Show and did some internet searching (not for school though, lol). Then I tried to start working on my school project, but didn't get very far. I felt like I was falling asleep so that is what I did, I took a nap. Two hours later woke up and felt better. Then to work on my school project, no tv, no music, a little facebooking at times. At 10pm I finished the written part, then did the bibliography and appendix and started the power point. But got frustrated with the power point and went to bed.

Feb. 20th

I spent my Saturday at home and should have been working on a paper for school but didn't, to much else on my mind. Instead I spent most the day picking up and cleaning around my house and most of that time doing dishes. Because my friend was coming over and though he probably wouldn't care how clean my house was I would be embarrassed by it and most of all by having way to many dirty dishes built up. The rest of the evening was good. We had dinner, watched a movie and chatted, the movie wasn't that good but he needed to watch it for Sunday School so it was ok, I'm just glade he goes to Sunday School. I spent some time before bed just thinking and reflecting on the evening, wandering how it really went.

Feb. 19th

Today was the 1st day I could register for next quarter at school. So I worked on somethings around the house and then headed to Springfield. Got in all the class with out a problem, that is good, now if I can just finish getting financial aid worked out. Then I went to London to visit with Steph for a little while and tell her about Wicked. As always at her house it was interesting with all kids and this time few more, an ex and a mother that isn't much help. I feel sorry for her and wish I could have gotten her out of there for a few hours. For dinner the ladies at church was meeting for pizza in Groveport, so that is where I headed next. It was a fun time socializing and eating good food with the ladies. After dinner we went to one ladies house and played a dice game, good night.

Feb. 18th

Well the big day finely came, the day to go see Wicked and it was a very good day. Started slow, I was at home finishing up some homework and getting ready for the show, you know trying to decided what to wear and important things like that. Then I went to my soils class and hoping it would be a short class, it wasn't to long, we watched a video that made it a little longer. Then went to my friends house to meet up to go to the show. Well I got stuck in his driveway, he warned me of that, but he came out and helped and got it up the driveway the rest of the way. Then on to dinner, we went to the Olive Garden, it was good as Olive Garden normally is. Then on to the show and it was Great! I love Wicked and have enjoyed it every time I have seen it, this was my 4th time. I enjoy the music and story line but this time I think it was even better with the company I had I am glade to be able to share it with him.

Feb. 17th

First full day of school in a few weeks, class went good. Didn't go anywhere between class today and that makes for a long day at school. But I did talk to Financial Aid again today and finely found out that they needed some more paper work, you think they could have let me know that some time. But by the time I got home I had an email that they had summited the additional info to FASFA, hopefully I will get all this Financial Aid all worked out soon. Also went to the library to get stuff to work on my project this weekend, I am not looking forward to that. In my evening class I had to take two quizzes and one test, no fun, hope I did ok. Then home for dinner a little tv but not much it was reruns and then to start getting ready for Wicked tomorrow and try to get some sleep with my excitement.

Feb. 16th

School was once again open today, so I worked on homework and things around the house till time for class. I left early not knowing what the roads was like and wanting to stop at the store. The roads wasn't to bad, spotty. Class was good and short and the good news is the class Thursday should be short too. When home I worked on homework, watched NCIS and cooked dinner all at once, I am good, lol. Talk to my friend that is going to Wicked with and made plans, I am getting more excited each day.

Feb. 15th

Another day of snow, it started snowing about the time for me to go to school. But I made it there ok, but set in class watching it come down. Around 1pm they cancelled evening classes so I headed home, it was the worst drive I have had so far. The worst part was in town not out in the open. I had trouble getting up the hill coming out of Springfield, that was a first and then in Troy had some trouble getting my truck to turn and slide into a snow bank but made it out ok. Then had trouble parking in front of my house. Gave up on getting the truck where I wanted it and parked and went out the passenger door and the road was very slick. I fell trying to walk beside my truck, not a bad fall just slide down onto my knees. Didn't do much after all that, worked on a take home soils lab. Then watched the movie The Hangover, funny. Then scanned some of those old photos I brought from mom and dads last night and posted them, great memories and some crazy cloths. Then just watched Monday night comedy tv.

Feb. 14th

Valentin's day and what a better way to spend it then with my great church family that I love so much. As always the music was great and a good service about Real Love, "Some of us know what it is to have love go wrong... but God can make it right", "God is the author of Love... experience it!". Had a dinner at church after service, the famous Hilltop Spaghetti dinner. Good time talking, socializing and getting up dated with those from church. Then went to Steph's to kill some time till my steam show meeting, it is always interesting with the kids. Then a steam show meeting, not much new or exciting there, just trying to decide what to do about the parks electric problems. Then home and to bed early after a very fun and full weekend.

Feb. 13th

Another good day, I started out going threw old photos at mom and dad's. Trying to find some pics of me back in my rock concert days. Of course there aren't many because I always took the pics, but found a few and had a lot of fun going back memory lane. Then Steph came over to get a dress and then we went to lunch at Cappy's, mmmm. Then we went to Columbus to get her a new camera, went to my old stomping grounds, Cord Camera. That store has changed a lot over the years but still my trusted place to get a good camera. Then we was killing time till dinner and was entertained at Barn's and Noble with the Valintens day gifts and books we was very shocked at what was out on the table for just anyone to look at, wow. Then we meet up with the very lovely Kathrine and her friend Steph and had dinner at Johnny Rockets and then on the Rodeo. Good time at the Rodeo watching the cowboys and the other fun activities like the kids doing the mutton contest. Very full and good day with the ladies.

Feb. 12th

Had a great and fun day, went to the National Farm Machinery Show in KY. I went with my favorite goat farmer, Kathrine and her intern Abby. Found out when they picked me up at mom and dad's that Abby is from Madison Co. and remembered me being her camp counselor. So we was able to talk about Madison Co. 4-H and stuff on the way down and lots of other good talk on the way down. The show was good, of course lots to see, of course the best part was the pink tractor. Two of my favorite things in one, pink and tractors. Two friends was there working, Doug with Great Plains and Trish with Precession Planting. Rain into a few friends too and had a great dinner with the girls, Doug and Kerrick and his family after. Good time I think had by all! By the time I got home I was losing my voice, that is a sign of a good a day.

Feb. 11th

Got up early to work on my Valentin's day cookies and treats. Iced and decorated the cookies and dipped the buckeyes in the chocolate, all came out good. Then did some studding for my soils midterm and headed to school. Not many in class again, but we took the midterm, I think I did ok. As very often in my life I was the only girl in a group of guys and after the test we had to wait for our lab. Had some very interesting conversations in that time with the guys. Then we did another soils lab, looking for living organism in the soil, didn't find much. Then back to Troy for our county Farm Bureau meeting and not many made it to it so didn't do much. Then went to my mom and dads for the weekend.

Feb. 10th

I couldn't believe school was open today, then again yes I can. I went in but I shouldn't have, my stomach was a little up set and not many others made it into class. We didn't do much in class because of not many there, but I got to talk over my schedule for next quarter with my teach and she is going to sign off on me taking a class I don't have the prerequisites for. I decided with the way I felt and the weather to not stay for my evening class and went home. Took a nice two hour nap and felt much better after. Then at 11pm decided I should back that cookie dough I made yesterday and was up till 11:45 doing that.

Feb. 9th

More snow today, all day, so no school. That meant now soils midterm today. Just a day snowed in, didn't go any where. So I made cookie dough and started buckeyes, made the peanut butter balls part. Did some more cleaning and picking up around the house. Our camp counselor meeting was of course cancelled. For the most part a very boring day at home, but one good thing happened. I was chatting with a friend on Facebook and asked him to go to Wicked with me next week and he said yes. I can't wait to see Wicked again!

Feb. 8th

Just another day at school today, took a midterm in one class and I think it went good. Then I went to the craft store to get some chocolate to make some Valentin's goodies. Then back to school to work on homework and kill time till later class and it went good to. As I was leaving school I noticed someones truck in the parking lot and crazy us stood in the cold talking for about 15 min. but it was worth it. Then home for some Monday night comedy and some chatting with the great ladies in my life, getting some good advise from them.

Feb. 7th

Do to the snow over the weekend I didn't go to church today, that and saving gas money. I made a new resume for class, I hope it helps me get a job soon. Of course I played some more Nintendo. Didn't do much else till time to go to Marcella and John's for dinner. Cleaning my truck off was more work then I had expected, but I got it. Then off to Piqua, the drive there was fine, but the drive across town was not. The City of Piqua doesn't do a good job cleaning off the roads, John said because they would rather spend there tax money on an old hotel then on there peoples safety. John cooked up a good dinner and I took cookies, had a good time talking and hanging out with everyone. Also got time to catch up with Marcella, over all a good evening.

Feb. 6th

Another long day snowed in all day alone. I did take the time to fix myself a nice breakfast of eggs and beacon. Then I went out to shovel my sidewalks and my nice neighbor was out and he helped me and he told me his son was coming in for out of state. And that made me think I can give them the cake I made yesterday, they have 4 kids at home to start with and he helps me out from time to time. So, went in and iced and took it over to them. I did a little more cleaning around my house, scents Christmas and going back to school it had gotten a little cluttered. Then I decided it would be fun to hook up my old Nintendo and play it. So I did and played for probable four hours or so. Then scents I was home on a Sat. I watched Our Ohio and Americana's Heartland, great farm bureau shows. Then on to watch a couple DVDs, eat dinner and do some chatting, texting and talking on the phone. Good way to end a long boring day snowed in.

Feb. 5th

Today was a stay at home day, one because I had nothen to do and two because it started snowing about noon and never really stopped. My goals for today was to bake and decorate a cake for Ash's Birthday party and clean up around the house. Well I started on the cake, got it baked and then Steph called and said the party was cancelled, she was thinking about doing it and then the skating rink cancelled. So, I didn't finish the cake and now I have a large cake to get ride of. I did tho get the rest of the Christmas stuff to the basement finely and actually put out a few Valentines decorations, haven't put them out in a few years, guess I am more in the mood for the holiday this year. Spent the rest of the day watching, TV, movies and facebooking. Some of my friends was with out power, I am so glade that didn't happen to me and wish them the best and hope it comes back on soon.

Feb. 4th

I started my day by fixing myself some blueberry muffins for breakfast, they was good. I had to do homework for my soils class where I to go online and look of soils maps for an address I know. So I first tried where I live on the farm and everything came up red and not usable. So then I put in mom and dads address and was able to do the homework, just hope I did it right, now so sure. Then we had a lab in class doing soils ribbons to test the tip of soil it was and watched some videos. Not much go on today

Feb. 3rd

We finally started going of Ag stuff in my one class, it was interesting today. Once again I didn't have my evening class tonight, that makes the day so much easier. Scents I didn't have class I went to London to help Steph go get a new van. The bummer is she called and the van had just sold. But she had gotten her new Sprint phone so we went to Hilliard to get her numbers transferred and get some Chick-fil-a to eat. And of course lots of girl talk between us of what has been happening in my life. After that I got home and spent most of the evening board... not much on tv or online, O well, guess you will have nights like that.

Feb. 2nd

Got a lot done today, this morning I baked a batch of cookies, first time scents Christmas. It was good to have the smell of cookies in my house again. I got laundry done. Did my homework for my soils class and then iced and decorated the cookies, super bowl cookies. Then went to soils class and the class is suppose to go till 6:15 but got done around ten till 5:00. I wasn't meeting my friend till 6:00 at the school so I did home work and texted till then. The rest of the evening went very good. We went and got pizza then to a movie, saw Extraordinary Measures. It was good, it's a true store and Harrison Ford in wrangler jeans. It has been a long time scents I went out to dinner and movie, I hope to do it again soon or something like it.

Feb. 1st

Went to school today and just like every other Monday, class then break then class. But the cool thing was Steph called me before my second class and asked if I wanted to go to dinner at TX Roadhouse on her. Of course I said yes, they got there taxes and came to town to shop and take Ash out for her Birthday. Dinner was good and fun with the girls. I was surprised how busy it was there on a Monday night. As I was leaving I got a phone call and made plans for tomorrow night, things are good.


Ashley getting surpirsed

Jan. 31st

I went to church in Piqua this morning, it was good, got to catch up with Lori. Then home to change and grab a sandwich. Drove to New Paris for snow tubing with farm bureau, I was rushing to get there because I thought it started at 1pm and then get there to find out it starts at 2pm, O well. It was fun, never done something like that before. The down side was my friends from out there didn't come, so I spent the day with my ex. It wasn't that bad but would have been funner with someone else, wish I had asked someone to go with but I don't know who. Then home to finish home work, a little texting but not with who I really wanted, he didn't seem in the mood to talk so I left him be.

Jan. 30th

Today was boring Sat. for me, I had breakfast at Buffalo Jack's in Covington. We had our county Farm Bureau membership kick off there, it went good. Then I came home and was going to clean house and stuff but then decided to watch a move and take a nap. When I finely got up I did do a good bit of dishes and made a batch of cookie dough. Then watched one of my favorite movies on TV, Magic of Ordinary Days, I haven't seen it scents the first time it played a few years ago. It is a Hallmark move so it is hard to find unless you go to there store and buy it.
