Hinck-town!

Well, here I am. But I hope for not too long. I don't believe that I would be able to stand it. But the sad thing is is that my few days here in Hinckley have been much more exciting than perhaps three days in Plymouth.

On my way to Hinckley, I stopped by the computer lab and visited with Heather and Sam. I called Darren and harassed him, but seemed like a superhuge dork on the phone since I was hopped up on caffiene and lack of sleep. Not a good combo. Then I also got to talk to Ben on the phone. So, it was a good catching up time. Also, (this is the highlight of Menononie!) Cory and I went to eat at El Patio. Damn, have I missed their chimichangas!! I am definitely going to have to have supper there over homecoming! (Then I get a bigger chimi AND guacamole!) But I made a return customer out of Cory (who has been in Menomonie for YEARS and never eaten there, nevermind the fact that he has been to the grocery store RIGHT NEXT DOOR to it!) And he got free food because they mis-made an order and gave it to us. Since I had no refrigerator (and did not wish to risk yet another case of mild food poisoning) I let him have it all. The last two hours of the drive were booooooring. I had thought that I was going to get stuck in rush hour traffic, but it wasn't so bad. I got to H-town about 6:30-ish then Mom and I went to Tank's for supper.

Tuesday I went to the public library to use the internet. Saw Nancy Lyseth and she told me that Lena is going back to school to become an English Teacher since she cannot find a job in her field. I also found a couple of jobs that I am going to apply to as soon as I am done updating my blog. Then that evening my cousin Jason and his cousin Sambo came up and ran a diagnostic on my mom's car. Apparently one of her CO2 sensors are out. Then I remembered that my check engine light has been on nonstop since I bought my car so I asked (Read: threatened with no food) Sambo to please run it on mine. It said my front two CO2 sensors are out. I told him that when I bought it I called the dealership the next day and they told me maybe I had put a bad tank of gas in there. (I hadn't put any in at that point) So Sambo said that was odd, becuase once you put enough good stuff in there and it reads that over and over it should have cleared itself out. But it hadn't, and he did that, and it hasn't been on since. Good stuff.

I went to see Dr. Kyle yesterday and he fixed me up good. :) Glad the headache is gone! Then Jenny Dixon and I went to Tanger. It was nice hanging out with her again!! I missed having friends SO MUCH! I bought a shirt at Old Navy for myself. She got a sweater but by the time we walked to Zales (haha!) and back she had herself talked out of it so she returned it. Then we had lunch at the Mandarin Buffet (I had a plate of General Tso's chicken, lo mein noodles, fried chicken, and cream cheese puffs and a plate of fruit - not bad!) Then we stopped at a jeweler's in Pine City and Jenny absolutely fell in love with an engagement ring and decided that soon she would tell Keith: Any time now! I wouldn't go so far as saying "ultimatum". Then I sat on the heating pad for the rest of the evening.

Shaun had a phone interview with Ecolab yesterday, and he said it seemed to go well. It's for a position in the cities. His last day at Steger's is Friday. He told me that he wasn't sure when he'd be able to make it up here, and I told him I wasn't even expecting him to make it until the end of next week. He has requested that I not get my hopes up about things so that I don't come crashing down when they don't come through. The funny thing is is that I told him once that I hope for things and then tell myself that they aren't going to happen so I am not so disappointed when they don't. He told me to not be negative. I guess that was then, this is now. But I miss him and I snuggle down into my blankets every night and pass out. I think that's only because I don't have to think about how much his snoring is irritating me. Ah, well. I can't wait to hear it again.
