so i'm in the bathtub

and I realize how long it's been since the last time i blogged!

I did however, figure that you could keep up with my life reading Maija's blog.. She writes almost everyday, and other than hanging out with her and her family, I don't really do much...

I work.
I play softball.
I hate my wisdom teeth.
I facebook.
I sleep.
I talk to Jessa and Zach on the phone.

I have a pretty boring life here in Kotzebue, and I don't have a camera, so no wicked cool pictures...
you may have read on Maija's blog that I had a CRAZY fourth of July. Not only was I a bridesmaid in my cousin Angeline's wedding, I participated in Miss Arctic Circle, and helped Maija get ready for the trade fairs, AKA Qatnut.
I have to say, never again will I allow myself to do so much stuff. I was super stressed, and I didn't get nearly enough sleep. Sometimes I still feel like I am trying to calm down, and catch up on sleep.

personally, I LOVE weddings! but wow, there have been so many this month! Just yesterday, my 'sister' Evik called me at 2, and asked for my help. She was freaking out, cause they had spent the night before decorating the church with alder and fireweed and other wildflowers. When she went to the church to make the last adjustments, she found EVERYTHING wilted and dead looking! Of course I agreed to help her, and I left work to help decorate for a wedding, when I didn't know bride OR groom! ( I later realized, I did know the bride) We re-did all of the decorations, and they ended up looking very very nice. We also added the final touches to the boquets for the bridesmaids, and made Mrs. Schaeffer's boquet, which turned out very very pretty. The wedding itself was nice and short. The funniest thing happened. RIGHT BEFORE the bride and groom kissed, the groom took out a shot of tequila and took it! Then he kissed his bride. Personally, I would be very mad at the groom, but she thought it was funny, and so did the rest of the church. The reception was decorated very nice as well, and the cake was something else! it was three tiered, and on the top, was the bride chasing the groom, and on the other side, was a snowmachine! I thought "only in Alaska" hahahahaha After the cake was cut, the bride threw her boquet, and guess who caught it? if you guessed me, WOW your an amazing guesser! I thought it was ironic, because I made it and all, but it's very pretty, and is currently hanging upside down in the laundry room, sprayed with hairspray!

Latley, I have been fighting with my job, and so far, my job is winning. We got a new supervisor this summer, and at first she was very nice. BUT not so much anymore. I hear that she was once a principal, and I have no issues believing it, cause she treats us like we were 1o. "I don't want to hear you laughing" "do I hear you guys talking? because I really shouldn't" and so on...You wonder why my job is winning possibly? It's winning cause I can't afford to quit, or just stop going... ehh hopefully in the fall I will have a decent job.

I vow to write in my blog a lot more often when I actually have a life to talk about. (when I move back to Anchorage)
