Lets see here labor day weekend i went to INdianna with the people pictured below! we were all sqeezed in a bigger than twin but smaller than double bed there are five of us! It was tons of fun we went to Brandon's grandma's rv at this campground where we grilled, and danced with old people...my favorite during the song "rollin' on the river" we all got on the ground and rolled literally!

My new friends like to have dance parties...in my room with my pink hat and mirror they broke it!.... bad boys!This week has been pretty boring, i had my first test and worked 25 hours i think i did pretty good on the test i'm feeling like it's a B but if i'm lucky that will turn into an A

And i fully intend on sending this to hime just b/c i think it is so funny...not mention it was Marci who wrote the note!

I Remember!!!

There was some important and upsetting world news today...

Astronomers have decided that Pluto (the little planet) is no longer a planet i repeat PLUTO IS NOT A PLANET! they have decided instead that it is a dwarf planet! Here are some interesting responses to this horrific news!

Mr. Kirk Dietzman on Pluto no longer being a planet...

Kirk "that makes me sad"

Cara "they kicked him out of the club!"

Kirk "poor little pluto, it's still a planet in my book"

Danae Dietzman on Pluto No Longer being a planet...

cara "did you hear that pluto is no longer a planet?"

danae"dumb"

cara "it doesn't meet the critera it's a dwarf planet now!"

danae" that's so dumb"

This is Cara with the DIETZ NEWS!

(thats pronounced ditz!)

I had time!

So a few things to update you on!
Lets see the next day while i was out running errands i decided to eat at Panera by myself i know crazy well even crazier a guy comes out with his friend while i'm eating outside (there aren't as many people out there) and asks his friend where his girlfriend is he then looks at me and asks me where my boyfriend is i honestly tell him i do not have one! So he tells me "then i'm sitting down. He then proceeded to sit with me through my entire meal and have a converstaion with me he asked me for my phone number but i kindly declined but i do have his! I have been encouraged by two peoeple now to actually call him. He is my age and lives about a half hour from me! We'll see!

Other than that i have gone to richmond indianna for the weekend and hung out with the Harringtons and got to see my friend Will who is a Marine and has been in Iraq for several months!

Tonight i am going to the Baldwins a family friend and going to stay the night just to get some more people interaction, plus they are just way fun to hang around with! The have three kids in grades 6, 8 and 10!

I have worked at my job 3 different shifts it's a lot bigger and really different from the Gap back home but fun!

There is something i am forgetting oh my clinical will be on a post op surgical floor of people who have had some sort of reproductive or urital surgeries.

Still forgetting something and not quite sure what it is, GAs is super cheap i only paid 2.53 yesterday can you believe that i'm calling it cheap well it is!

If i remember the other thing i will post later!

I made it!

Well just so everyone knows i made it to cincinatti (sp.?) i suppose i should learn how to spell the name of the city i live in? but i'm here none the less! there will be more updates to come with pictures and such but for now! i Just thought while i was eating my bowl of cereal! that i would share with you what happend tonight! I pretty much had non-stop visitors since i arrived and got my car un-packed! friends from new york whom i haven't seen in oh like 12-15 yrs. came over and then a daughter of someone i met in south carolina that is friends of the kirks came over and the neighbors and the lawn boy and his dad to fix the carpet from the radiator leak it's just been a busy night and i didn't get a chance to eat! So here i sit with my "special k" and water blogging and have yet to get a few things put away so i can find them in the am with out doing leaps and jumps! but i must go and do that before i fall over dad of tierdness! Please pray that i sleep good and wake up on time and that i have a good day meeting new people and that i would just really connect well with at least one person at school. thanks love ya!

I know I know you thought it would never come!

Well Here it is i'm blogging are you all happy now! I should be doing a million other things!

So Funny story.... My dad had a craving for a white castle and no one really knows why they only stay in you for about 7 minutes but he was on mission! So with his little GPS system he looked one up on our drive from Ohio to Il. well he found one and it was close like 9 miles! So he instructs me to get off at this exit, and being the good daughter that i am i do as i'm told! well we end up driving through this small town, for about 2o minutes b/c the GPS system tell us too! the longer we drive the more skeptical my mom and i become! We start talking about how this "White castle" is probably white castle park! and just when the GPS system tells us that it's supposed to be to our left i see a park so i make the smart comment of "look dad there it is!" I was right it was a park, but he's like no thats not it! it was really just a school! So we drive a few more hundred yards and dad says well it should be here and we see nothing that resembles white castle restaurant but then wait... I look up and see a white castle flag! we have arrived! nope! It's the White castle bakery! Needless to say my dad did not get his white castle! but we did get a good story!

I enjoyed the fourth of july fire works with my sister danaE!

My Roommates came for lunch and a swim! well to see me!
