Diane’s World

…many enter, few come out the same

“Must you make me laugh so much?”

Rachel has given me 10 minutes to use her computer and update Dianefeucht.com.

Shoot.

And this is my first update for… 3? weeks?

So guess what you get? A bunch of random sentences that hopefully make some kind of sense. And no pictures. And two videos.

1) I MISS FRITZ my poor little iMac that is stuck in some storage place in Sioux Center, IA. Getting internet access these days is a struggle.
2)  I START WORKING AT THE ART MUSEUM ON WEDNESDAY …or at least I learn about what I’m going to be doing there on Wednesday. Hopefully I don’t have to be much more busy than I already am or I might explode.

3) COW IS STILL ALIVE? Cow, if you don’t remember, is my beloved fish. I thought he’d be dead by now, but he isn’t. Sarah is threatening to speed along his funeral date.

 In honor of Cow, and my high hopes of being bilingual by this time next year, my dad shared a short, yet strikingly fitting, commercial with me. Enjoy:

4) HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DIANEFEUCHT.COM  – even though it’s true birthday was three weeks ago, it’s never too late to remember. Not only is DianeFeucht.com celebrating one year of existence, but also over 10,000 unique hits within that time frame. 

5) ONE MONTH UNTIL I’M 21! (Dun Dun DUN!) 

6)  SONG OF THE WEEK: One of the few female singers I enjoy: Imogen Heap. Song is “Say Goodnight and Go”. I like this song. Which just may be the reason I’m posting it.

7) I HAVE A SMALL TIP FOR ALL YOU BLOG LOVERS OUT THERE: go to www.bloglines.com . What you do is subscribe to all the blogs you read, and instead of having to go one by one to figure out if they had updated, you can see in seconds who has updated. Just trying to make your life easier.

Ok it looks like Rachel is kicking me off. Ya’ll have a good one. I have no idea the next time you will be hearing from me. :)

“Each broken heart will eventually mend…”

Song/Video of the week: “Someday you will be loved” by Death Cab for Cutie

(Watch this video – it is my favorite…. and it’s probably one of the things that started my obsession with hearts. That poor poor heart goes through so much!)

Anyways, it’s been over a week. Can you blame me?

1) Started my job at Target. In my fight to not work on Sundays, I declared that I’d work whenever they wanted, just not on Sunday.

They punished me for sure. I work closing! AHH! That means I get off of work anytime between 11pm and 1am. Sigh.

Actually closing isn’t that bad. They usually give us Popsicles if it was a long day, and we sit there for 20 minutes doing nothing more but making fun of Wal-mart and one of the guys who works in electronics.

Well, Target has declared themselves the “Best Company EVER!” (true story). And Target has neater stuff. And the people who work there are nicer.

Shoot! I’m turning into a true Target-ian… getting pretty good at ripping on Wal-mart.

Well, unfortunately I’m still in training mode… meaning I still do something stupid/embarrassing every day. But everyone does have fun laughing at me.

2) Sarah and Andrew decided to leave for Hawaii. So, they left the kiddos with Rachel and I… hoping that we might be able to keep them alive for 10 days. With Rachel working days and me working nights, we’ve been able to do a great job tag-teaming this whole affair.

Sammy is the sweetest little boy in the whole wide word, and I’m tempted to steal him and take him back to college with me. The only time he really gets upset is when he is ignored for too long. Besides that, he is all smiles and giggles.

Patrick, on the other hand, is a chore. The worst part is that he tries to talk and communicate, and we never understand what he wants. So we end up both getting very frustrated. I just hope he learns how to talk better… and soon.

but he can be a sweetheart… once you start to understand what all his gobble-de-gook means. And I have even discovered a few ways into tricking him to doing what I want (muwahaha!)

I LOVE THESE LITTLE MEN!:

3) If you haven’t noticed in earlier pictures, I (finally) got glasses. Now I don’t have to wear contacts every day. (yay!)

I like them.

You should too.

Here, I’ll even model them for you (notice I’m still wearing my red work shirt! :) Go Target! ):

Sigh… what a life.

4) I LOVE MY DAD! You should too!

(and no, he’s not giving Patrick a cigar in this picture. That was a freak of nature accident… I hope.)

Welp, that’s most of my life. Besides that, I really should go to bed… I have to work closing tomorrow. And Fridays are PAINFUL at Target.  (Translation: I’m probably working until 1am again… hopefully I can afford a triple shot of espresso… or maybe a quadruple shot.)

I love some of you!
