I have so much to write about my trip here to Green Bay. But I have realized that I am lucky to have friends in my life that I do. I am glad that I was able to figure out what was going on with my feelings. I don't have feelings for him like I thought. It is nothing but a good friend I have made in this whole process. I am glad that God has given me peace in this whole situation. I'm happy with the final outcome. I also learned that I am not supposed to be in Green Bay anymore. This isn't where God wants me to be. I'm supposed to be in Greensboro, why I'm not sure. I'm so glad that there is technology like skype, cell phones, and facebook that lets me stay in touch with those who I love in Green Bay. But as a good friend said it's all in His hands and it's the trusting in Him that is the hardest. We just have to do it. I'll write more about Green Bay trip when I have time to think and reflect and breathe in Greensboro. Hope all is well!!

Ridiculousness
I'm okay with it I really am. But it's not what I had expected. He's moved on to someone else, maybe I wasn't even anything but a friend. I don't know. I felt something though, what was I feeling?? God has a plan for me and I just need to be at peace with the plan that he has, if it's with this guy or not. Sunday at lunch I plan on telling him that I had feelings for him. I think it will make my life better just throwing it out there. If He brings you to it He can bring you through it.
'Cause I don't know who I am, who I am without you. All I know is that I should. And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you. All I know is that I should. She will love you more than I could, she who dares to stand where I stood.
I want you to know that it doesn't matter where we take this road, someone's gotta go. I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better, but I want you to move on so I'm already gone.......
yup I'm being emo and sad about this.

How John Mayer's albums can describe my or anyone's life.
So here is the blog I've been meaning to write for awhile...or at least saying I was going to write. (When you have to work, have the flu, and have a party to attend, blogging just doesn't have as much room in your life as you thought.)
John Mayer is an amazing musician, I could careless what you think about him because of what you have heard on e! or in the gossip magazines. *cough* Mom *cough* Everyone knows they are just making up crap for you just to read it. Anyone who can write songs like he does, and play the shit out of the guitar deserves all the money and fame that he has gotten. If you are able to go see him live it is worth EVERY penny. I have had the chance to do this a few times in my life and loved every second of it.
The first album that I heard from Mr. Mayer was his EP Inside Wants Out. I was a freshman in high school. Kind of not knowing where I fit in with this crazy new world I was living in. I was handed this burned CD with the name John Mayer and Inside Wants Out written on it by a friend. I started listening to it and fell in love with the acoustics and the lyrics. No Such Thing just stood out in my mind as an explanation for what I was experiencing.
This album was his first attempt at a music career almost like my freshman year. Putting yourself out there and seeing what happens, unsure of the reception by others. Quiet and Comfortable were other favorites of mine. I remember putting it in my CD player (this was before I had my lovely ipod) and just listening and loving every second of the picture this guy was painting in my head.
Soon after finding the EP, Room for Squares came out. It was a huge hit on the radio and every where else. John Mayer had found his success, which is AMAZING, like I said he deserves it! Some of the songs from the EP made their way onto the new album with a band backing him. Some would say he was working his way in to the "pop" world, I am not one of those people. I liked the new sound that I was hearing but I deep down missed the acousticness of the EP. At this time I was traveling over seas playing soccer and 3x5 was constantly playing. I also was growing up and getting into boys and finding dates to dances. Rejection sucks, Love Song For No One is one that explains love for you. So it breaks down to this, room for squares and inside wants out pretty much helped or described my life in high school.
Heavier things came out I believe the beginning of my senior year. It was amazing again how JM had grown musically. I loved the jazz feel that it had, not only did it deliver musically, lyrically as well it blew my mind. Bigger than my body, Clarity, and Home Life were all songs that could describe the major change that I was going through as a senior. I was growing up moving on and doing my own thing. They were the songs that I would blast while driving down the highway with my windows down. Then the other songs were amazing, Wheel and Split Screen Sadness come to mind right away.
What was funny is that when I went to go do my orientation for college in Green Bay, John Mayer just happened to be playing at the Resch center and we got tickets. At this point I had no idea all the memories the Resch Center would bring through out college. John Mayer was the one that started it all. This is when I experienced the guitar playing magicalness that he has. If I was wearing socks he literally would have blown them off. I remember at one point he played this blue polka dotted electric guitar in this odd position, and just rocked the whole place. He was changing and growing and I was doing the same.
Right at the end of what I would call a hell life that I was living for various people and personal reasons, John Mayer came out with Continuum. Yummmmmmm.........This album described my early twenties perfectly. I don't know how he comes up with all the lyrics but they are amazing. I found myself always playing the album in my car. It got to the point where I had to buy another copy because it was worn out.
Then right when I am working on the edge of figuring out what to do with my life Where The Light Is, comes out. It's a live album of at 3 different facets of John's music combined into a CD and DVD. I loved everything about it. The acoustic, the blues, and the regular band. It was wonderful. Dreaming With a Broken Heart and Heart of Life were songs that I listened to when dealing with the loss of everyone I loved in Green Bay with my big move to NC.
So from my freshman year in high school to me now in the middle of my twenties living my life as an "adult" these albums have impacted me. As I have grown so has John Mayer's music and it's wonderful. I can only wait impatiently for his new album that he's recording. I'm excited to see where it takes me and what kind of life journey he's gone through. So in the very slim chance that you are reading this Mr. John Mayer, Thank You, Thank you from the depths of my heart. Keep up all the wonderfulness that you are doing. It's helped me in so many ways and many more I'm sure of. I love your twitticisms by the way, keep them coming.
Whew that was a long one. I'm proud of you if you made it all the way through that blog. Back to the regular blogging tomorrow. I'll be on a plane in less than 55 hours to Green Bay, I am SO excited. Much love to all of you.

"I wanna run through the halls of my high school, I wanna scream at the top of my lungs, I just found out there's no such thing as the real world, just to lie you've got to rise above"

"So I'll check the weather were ever you are so I know if you can see the stars tonight, It might be my only right."It seemed as though he was growing in his music while I was growing with my own life. College and the end of my teen years came as well as love and heart break. It almost seemed like these were things that John himself had gone through and made them into songs.

It got to the point where I had to buy another copy because it was worn out.
"Who do you love me or the thought of me?"This album had a more bluesy side to it and it worked on so many different levels. Gravity was the song that I loved. Stop This Train explained my life on how I was supposed to become an adult in this world, something I didn't want to face. Also it mentioned his parents, my mom's cancer was something that was on my mind constantly. During the hard parts of life these songs got me through. I don't think I ever will be able to tell him thanks for being an escape for me during those hard times. Maybe one day....
Then right when I am working on the edge of figuring out what to do with my life Where The Light Is, comes out. It's a live album of at 3 different facets of John's music combined into a CD and DVD.

Tales from my sleep walking...
So I was going to write about how John Mayer's albums relate to my growing up in life, but I have had a very weird day. (the JM will come tomorrow..)
I have a sleep walking disorder which I take medication for. Normally I am okay at night and don't find myself in random places. Last night was not one of those nights. I woke up digging in my closet for something. What that something was I don't quite remember. I just remember spies and their attacks. So I had all my sheets off my bed and my closet destroyed when I finally woke up. Oh yeah and my heart was racing. not good...
So when I woke up in the morning i didn't feel all that great and had a major headache, which I still do. I jumped on the wii fit for my work out to see if it would help, definitely not. So I went back to bed to try to sleep it off. I woke up just in time to eat and go to work with the massive headache. It didn't go away and I kind of wish it did. My body has been funky these past couple of days, I should maybe do something about it...the good news is that it's my day off tomorrow. Bad news is that I have to go into work because I didn't get the right paycheck. I want my 400 plus paycheck not the 43 dollar one from February. Time for bed, hopefully I won't be sleep walking tonight and get some restful REM sleep, doubt it since I have a little brother passed out next to me.

I had a wonderful blog all written and planned out about how my life can be described by all the albums that John Mayer has put out. Well when I went to post it the internet crashed and I lost everything. ARGH!! Tomorrow I will try to write it again, but hopefully better then the first. Thing that is giving me hope... "Sounds good looking forward to it. :)"
Much love to you all.
7 days!!
Much love to you all.

J.C.
God is kind of a big deal, so is Jesus. Check it out. There is so much running through my mind that I want to get done. Writing this blog is not one of them. But it was a busy day off full of friends, good food, shopping, church and amazing prayer. That's all for tonight.
BBY is crazy!!
Today was a very interesting day. I met my boss's boss which was kind of funny. All the ideas that I had were used and loved. To the point that my boss will presenting my idea to the district office of Best Buy as well as what I created sent to every best buy mobile that he manages. I'm a big deal. My GM of the store loved it too.
During work we got in 8 Wii fits so I made a mad dash to call the family to get it. After playing on it, maybe it wasn't a good idea. But oh well.
Right at the end of my shift a guy came in, that has come in at least 2 other times when I was working, to return his phone. Well this guy was surprisingly attractive and was hitting on me. At one point he had my phone and I had his and he called himself from my phone. I'm thinking it was an attempt at getting my number without asking. So I spent around an hour with him trying to get everything figured out. We talked while we could and I found out that he was my age and runs his own business. At the end of it all he left me his number. I'm not quite sure what to do with it....
I came home for a bit and then went out to Buffalo Wild Wings for a going away party for a manager at Best Buy. Being that I barely knew anyone I called one of the girls that I actually knew to meet up with. Man were there a lot of bby people there!! Right away when I walked in I got a hug from Quincy (a guy I talked to once maybe at work) and got talking with new people. Everyone is so friendly around here and accepting of the little white girl from WESSconsin. I was the minority but oh well. Sunday shall be interesting, a club rented out for all of us best buyers to go party.
I was welcomed into the family by one of the guys, it was nice to know I was included in something down here. As I said goodbye to the manager he said, "goodbye I'll miss you even though we only worked together 2 shifts. Just remember you are awesome. Really I mean it, keep up the amazing work." WOW crazy crazy crazy. Everyone at this store I have noticed likes to hug one another. It's weird not having a manager over the age of 40 at this store. It's going to take time to adjust and get the low down on everything, but I think I'm going to do well here in the 'boro (as they call it.) As I drove home I just thought of all those who I miss back home. I really wished they were there with me being included in this new family that I've joined, they would be right by me having fun and making jokes. I guess this is part of moving and growing....
I will be in green bay in less then 9 days, SO excited. Also GO phoenix! They have a big game tomorrow in the CBi tourney at home. I hope the rockstar does well!

Sorry gang it's a really boring blog tonight. Just letting you know that I'm not feeling the greatest and don't have much to blog about right now. It's not writer's block it's just a writer's break, so consider it that. Good thing though is that there is a post season for the rockstar so that is great!! I need sleep or something. Peace and love

Kelly Clarkson Rocks!
I realize that there is all this starting
Things we're both scared about
That we'll never see them coming
Throw caution to the wind
And we'll see which way it's blowing
And to this pulling on
We'll never see it coming
Until it's much to close to stop
My heart beat beats me senselessly
Why's everything got to be so intense with me
I'm trying to handle all this unpredictability
In all probability
It's a long shot, but I say why not
If I say forget it, I know that I'll regret it
It's a long shot just to beat these odds
The chance is we won't make it
But I know if I don't take it, there's no chance
'Cause you're the best I got
So take a long shot
Oh I waited for fact to come of fiction
And you fit my description
I never saw you coming
But we'll make it
Things we're both scared about
That we'll never see them coming
Throw caution to the wind
And we'll see which way it's blowing
And to this pulling on
We'll never see it coming

'Cause you're the best I got
So take a long shot
Oh I waited for fact to come of fiction
And you fit my description
I never saw you coming
But we'll make it
I used to be a little bit shy
I kept my deepest feelings inside
Speaking up to you about my emotions has always been hard
But this just can't wait
Tonight I feel a little bit brave
So I won't let one more day pass without me explaining what we are
I kept my deepest feelings inside
Speaking up to you about my emotions has always been hard
But this just can't wait
Tonight I feel a little bit brave
So I won't let one more day pass without me explaining what we are
Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories, they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye
Even without fists held high, yeah
Never would have worked out right, yeah
We were never meant for do or die
I didn't want us to burn out
I didn't come here to hurt you now
I can't stop
Looking at you makes it harder
But I know that you'll find another
That doesn't always make you wanna cry
Started with a perfect kiss
Then we could feel the poison set in
Perfect couldn't keep this love alive
You know that I love you so
I love you enough to let you go
I want you to know
That it doesn't matter
Where we take this road
Someone's gotta go
And I want you to know
You couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone
We were always meant to say goodbye
Even without fists held high, yeah
Never would have worked out right, yeah
We were never meant for do or die
I didn't want us to burn out
I didn't come here to hurt you now
I can't stop

You couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone
I Can Tell
How much You hate This
Deep Down Inside
You Know It's Killing Me
I Can Call, Wish You Well
And Try To Change This
But Nothing I Can Say
Would Change Anything
Where Were My Senses
I Left Them All Behind
Why Did I Turn Away
I Wish I Could Save You
I Wish I Could Say To You
I'm Not Going Nowhere
I Wish I Could Say To You
It's Gonna Be Alright
It's Gonna Be Alright
How much You hate This
Deep Down Inside
You Know It's Killing Me
I Can Call, Wish You Well
And Try To Change This
But Nothing I Can Say
Would Change Anything
Where Were My Senses
I Left Them All Behind
Why Did I Turn Away
I Wish I Could Save You
I Wish I Could Say To You
I'm Not Going Nowhere
I Wish I Could Say To You
It's Gonna Be Alright
It's Gonna Be Alright

Didn't get a phone call. (negative ghost rider)
Rocked out at work today. Double Check
Less than 2 weeks and I'll be in Green Bay!!! I'm so excited. Who ever thought going to Green Bay for your 'spring break' would be something a person would get excited about.
Bed time for this girl.

I stubbed my toe and it hurts.
It's cold outside and I don't like it.
I did well at the sup meeting (also as my my likes to call it the super meeting) and will be attending more.
I have and had a migraine all day.
This is not fun.
I spent over 450 dollars on a vacuum. Too much if you ask me for something that sucks. If you wanted that I could bring the Carolina Panthers in the house instead.
I am tired and have to work 9 hours tomorrow
Still no contact after a week from the boy.
Maybe I'll call him tomorrow.
I need it to be the weekend....

I am king of the grill!!
Today I had a little piece of home in Wisconsin come to North Carolina. Although it didn't bring the people who I love dearly here, it did make me not miss Wisconsin a little bit less. Tonight was the night of brats for dinner. Yummmmmmmy. It was so funny because I could smell the brats boiling in the beer and it just smelled like Wisconsin (sad I know).I was able to be the grill master again!! This is something that my old roomies from the Peterson plex will admit is the right title for me. I missed that whole grilling in the front of our driveway on our little Weber grill (see picture to the left) and hacking away at pricker bushes with a kitchen knife and hand made pot holders. (That one is just for you Shell : )) But tonight I was able to grill out on the back porch with shorts and a t-shirt on and enjoy the wonderful 80 degree weather. It felt like a early June night in Wisconsin brought to NC.
I booked my plane ticket to fly to Green Bay yesterday. I'm really excited to see some people who I have missed terribly!!! I haven't however talked to a certain person since last Friday, I don't know what to think of that. If I don't hear anything by Friday I'm going to contact him...hopefully it's just due to midterms this week. I really hope that I will be able to see him when I go back to GB. Gosh I should just stop talking about this boy and move on....but that's easier said than done. Gotta just ride the wave and trust in Him.
OH the new Kelly Clarkson album is great!! It's so much more rock and dance then her old stuff before. I have been rocking out to it in the astro van wherever I go. Time for bed, my first supervisor meeting at work tomorrow...eek I'm nervous and excited for the opportunity to be there in the first place. I only worked 3 days and they wanted me there...crazy. Wish me luck and enjoy you're Thursday!!!

to go or not to...
I got a group invitation on facebook a few weeks back for my high school's 5 year reunion. Now I understand that this is part of life and getting older, but I don't feel like I have spent 5 years away from these people I graduated with. Those who I loved and cared about in my life during high school are still in it today. Most of my freshman and sophomore year were full of girls who I thought were my 'best friends for life.' This however was not the case, friendships fade, especially those who are materialistic and judgemental. I have changed and grown RIDICULOUSLY in comparison to who I was when I graduated in high school. Stereotypes and judgements by others are hard to break.
I really don't think I want to spend the money or the time to go hang out with people who I kind of sort of hung out with. Most of my high school graduating class has gone to the same college and hung out with the same group of people. That doesn't show much for them to attempt at changing their lives. I guess there are those who aren't like that and have changed but is it worth it to see them. I really don't want to deal with all the fake hello's and how's life been the past five years, or even the I'm sorry we haven't talked, why was that again? It will be nice to be back in Wisconsin to see old faces like Matty Icky and others who I don't have down here. So right now it's a giant toss up...I guess we'll see when the time gets closer.
What do you think? Did you go to your high school 5 year reunion???
Oh and is it sad that I'm excited for tomorrow and the new Kelly Clarkson album...I love the new song she has, "My life would suck without you." Guess I'm a dork like that.

Sunday in Review 3.8.09
So today was another wonderfully beautiful day outside. Too bad I was stuck in a big blue box for most of it. Also was a great dinner that my mom and I cooked for the night. Onto a week of reviews, comments, and others.
*Secret shows put on by up and coming bands = not good things, never will be.
*I have someone following my blog...wahoo that's so AWESOME. My own mother doesn't even sign up to be a follower. Hi Vanessa!!
*Lucy turned one on Wednesday...wow I can't believe that she's a year old already.
*I was able to talk to Mike two nights in a row. May not have been the most in depth conversations but they were good enough for me. (it makes me happy)
*"He's busy and he made time in his busy schedule to call you, that means he cares about you."
*Friday was the first day of how amazing the weather has been.
*Saturday was a very sad sad night, I still haven't talked to him so who knows how he's taking the loss. I hope okay.
So here is the beginning of my campaign for all of you stuck up in the giant blizzard that is hitting Minnesota and Wisconsin today. It's been no colder than 65 the past three days. This is including at night. So instead of being there covered in snow maybe you should move on down here to Greensboro. It'd not only make me happy but you happy!! A win win situation.
Tomorrow, 5 year high school reunion...to go or not to go....

Crying on the inside
They lost and I'm really sad. I am so proud of him, he played amazing 16 points. You should hold your head high for the amazing season that you have had. I wish it was different but they lost. This team deserves a lot more credit then what is given to them. They are such a well versed team. Everyone has an off night and I guess tonight was that. Bummer. There always is the NIT hopefully. Gosh my heart just breaks for him and the rest of the guys on the team. I just pray that this isn't the last game as a phoenix for him. It's not one that you would want to remember as your last game in college. I'm going to bed it's been a long night.

Friday fun!
Today was a great day. I rocked out at work AGAIN and got to talk to Mike longer than a few minutes. (YAY!!!!). It was so cute Jay talked to him for a little bit. Adorable. But it was all about b-ball pretty much, which I totally understand. I'm nervous for him tomorrow since he says he won't be. I'm excited to watch the game. He's super busy with basketball I can understand why it's all he talks about. But as someone smart said, "look at it this way, in his busy schedule he made time for you. That means he cares." What really makes me happy is that I get to see not only him but everyone else I love in Green Bay very very soon!!

I like Fridays, especially when you know that you don't have to work the next day. I think retail should have a mandatory day where they aren't open. I think the fast food chain chick-fil-a has it right. The chain is closed on Sundays. Although those are the days that they are closed are the days you want chick-fil-a the most. But tomorrow is supposed to be gorgeous which means I'm going to enjoy it! I'm excited for the relaxing day and the wonderful game at night. If you're not doing anything tomorrow you should watch espnU and cheer on the phoenix, especially the rock star (if you don't know who that is by now, ask and maybe I'll tell...hehe). I hope it's not the last game for him tomorrow night. He deserves to have an amazing senior year and so do the rest of the boys. So check out the game!!

Doors blown off!
So today was a pretty darn good day. I went into work and found out that after 3 days of working all the managers are saying nothing but good things about me. So good that they are wanting me to be at the supervisor's meetings each Thursday. Wow that's so intense. I'm pumped and glad because I told myself I would knock their socks off. After all the problems trying to get in, I wonder if they are kicking themselves now.
Today was my adorable puppy's 1st birthday. I can't believe how she's grown and changed. She had a fun day playing in the clay and getting dirty. So her birthday present was a bath after I got home from work. Then a walk with my mom, my other dog sally, and me. It was a cold walk but a good one.
I work tomorrow all day but I will actually get a lunch for once. That's something to look forward to. But what I'm really hoping that will happen tomorrow is that catch up on life part two will happen. Tonight the rock star called and I missed it. So when I got the chance I called him back. He was on a bus to Indy and it was loud in the background. We barely got to talking and he said I'm sorry if I hang up on you my phone is dead. I was able to get my major worry out of the way though. Last night at church when we were praying it just popped into my head to pray for him and that something was wrong. So I did and called him last night to make sure everything was okay. He didn't answer, but tonight I found out that everything was. Whew. Well 9 minutes into the conversation I heard the click. Sad, I wish it was longer, but there was a reason it was this short. Maybe it's cause I couldn't hear him very well, or something but there was a reason. So hopefully when he gets to the hotel and charges his phone he'll call me tomorrow night to chat. This is usually what happens when he's on the road with the team. He's got down time at the hotel room and it's chat time. I needed the phone call though, it was something to remind me that he's out there and caring.
The best part about tomorrow (besides talking to the boy if it happens) is that I have Saturday off!! I'll be able to go to Beef O' Brady's with my mom to watch the game and cheer on the guys. I really wish I could be there in person but he knows I'm there in spirit.
I hope all is well with you and life is going great. If not at least you know you are loved : )

Secret Shows....joke and a half!
Today I was a rock star at work...all I have to say is that I made a name for myself for everyone who didn't think I was worth hiring. I have Saturday off, I'm hoping the the crew will want to take a road trip to see the game. It would be amazing!
So I've been meaning to blog about this for awhile but I haven't had the chance. Bands who have 'secret shows.' There is a band that is not very well known that I have seen grow and change since the beginning of college. Well I saw that they were playing secret shows around the area in NC. Well I emailed one of the band members to ask what the deal was and he said I can't tell you. Consider it a scavenger hunt for the band. I'm thinking, well great it's an hour away to try to even find where you guys are playing, I think not.
If your fans are wanting to come and support you why would you not let them know where you are playing. I understand that some shows are private shows but call them that. I would think as a band trying to get your name out you would let as many people know about where your are playing to get the word out. You need to make new fans but you don't want to turn away the old ones. And if you make the old ones mad they aren't going to spread the word about your band, if anything they'll say bad things. So to those bands who are doing these secret shows you might want to reconsider, it might be causing more harm than actually helping you.

Sunday in Review Monday edition
Wow what a crazy busy week it has been! It has had it's highs and it's lows. I really wish life would just be one giant high, but that can't happen. You've gotta ride the waves, up and down. Today I woke up to a few inches of snow, it was gorgeous outside. Everything was covered even the trees, it doesn't get like that in Wisconsin. I wish I had my camera but I have a mental picture of it. So onto the review...
*Monday was my second to last dentist appointment and my face really hurt. Although I did go for a good workout that night.
*I haven't talked to Jess as much as we used to. She's gotten busy with school and Justin. I miss her
*Tuesday night was when I saw grown adults act like children. It's surprising how stupid people can be.
*Wednesday was my last day at the dentist WAHOO!!
*Wednesday was also a good day for meeting new people at church as well as God being on my side.
*I have to remember not to doubt God, he has a plan for everything. It may not be my plan but I've just got to be thankful to have life.
*Thursday was my brick to the face and a good conversation with Taylor. I needed that. I haven't had someone to go to lunch with and just talk about our life's junk in awhile. I need an old chicago dinner soon...too bad I won't get it.
*Friday was a lazy day I guess. Really it wasn't, I was just feeling in a funk. You know those weird feelings that you can't describe, that was Friday.
*I added a counter to my blog and more people read this than I ever thought did!
*Saturday was a rainy day and it was a good one at that.
*I was able to see slumdog and it was AMAZING! Go see it
*I experienced my first winter weather type thing in "the boro" yesterday. An ice storm causing all the power to go out. It was crazy
*Work will be interesting, I really miss the gang up in GB. It really is one of the best places to work. This place isn't the same thing for me right now. However I did meet people who remind me of people at the GB store, it makes me giggle.
I really miss you. : ( I feel like we haven't actually talked in awhile. I wonder if you miss me??
