Highlights of my week...
Well to start the week off I got the common cold that was going around my job, but besides that my week was very different...
Monday- I didn't have to work! So I stayed home with my mom! I love her so much! Also I went to FHE to an farm equipment museum... it was very interesting to see all the old tractors that they fixed up.
Tuesday- I went to work even though I was sick, so I got sicker... I was at work from 8am to 7pm. The sad part was that I was suppose to volunteer at the festival of trees with mom, but I worked too late, and was too sick to serve food to others :P. I guess I have to wait another year so I can work it again!
Wednesday- I stayed home from work, and stayed in my PJs all day watching movies... oh and I watched my mom play wii! lol But the worst part was that I had to stay home from country dancing.
Thursday- I went back to work :P. But the weather was really nice, and it was a day full of laughs. Besides being on cold drugs all day, I was wearing a backpack to carry my water bottle. I started to feel wet down to my knees, but little did i know that my water bottle didn't have the lid on tight and I walked a whole mile with it leaking down my legs. I looked like I had wet my pants. the funny part was that it missed my bottom and only got the insides of my legs! :P But that wasn't the only that happened. We dug our whole field all 150 something bags, and 10 miles later, took our lunch break only to find that we had to dump all our samples and leave the dirt in the field. Talk about getting paid for nothing. Turns up that one of the owners of the field didn't want us to have their dirt. So c'est la vie I guess! But while we dumped all the dirt back, we just laughed and made jokes about how silly we felt. After that I had institute that night, which made my day even better!
Friday- Was a pretty blustery day, but we worked in it anyway. The best part was that we kept joking about how we left the country, because we were in Fort Hall, which is of course a reservation! So that was funny. The worst part was that we came across a fetal calf, or how over you would say it. Apparently somebody had come along and skinned the momma cow, and took everything but the baby and the cowhide. It was so sad, the calf was even still in its sack and underdeveloped. We could see the eyes and ears though. It was interesting and disgusting at the same time!
Anyway on a lighter note, I went the whole day with my zipper down. :P
Oh BTW make sure you go and see The Blind side its one of the best movies I've seen in a while!
Well hope you had a great week! Oh and have a great thanksgiving! I can't wait for Melissa Lincoln and the kids to come!!
I also should have a new nephew in the next few days! Can't wait for that either!! Here is for hoping Sean and Brittany!

Best Picture program thus far!!
So I just discovered how cool Picasa is!! I'd heard of it before, but I decided to try it out when I wanted an easier way to blog a mass amount of pictures... So here are a bunch of pictures of Lauren and I from the summer when they were visiting. We used Photo Booth on my Mac and it was a real blast!!
One of the best parts of Picasa is that after you make really easy Collage, you just push the button that says "blog it" and it just puts it on your blog. Oh google... you are just so great!! The other great part is that is works so well with my baby... aka my mac, oh and it does the face recognition thing where it finds all the faces that look alike and tags them together! Plan on seeing many more pictures like this... because its so easy!!
Well I'm still new at this program... but I still recommend it!! What a time saver!!
Playing with Grandpa and Aunt Katie at the Cabin!

Just an update
So I'm trying to be more up to date on this thing!
To start out, I am apologizing up front for what may appear to be rambling. Everything may sound odd or strange or random that I write, but with my ADD brain this is all your getting!! If you don't like it, go read someone else's blog!
Anyway I'm still dirt digging at the USDA. We have actually been so bored that some of us have come up with a song while digging. It goes to the tune of Ghost busters,
"When theres something strange in the neighborhood, who you gonna call... dirt scoopers" (usually when saying dirt scoopers I "wix my mords up" and everyone teases me, so thats pretty fun :P)
then the song continues on with that general theme. I don't really remember all the words, because we must have been tired or something when we wrote it. Every verse was followed by hysteric laughing and references to a dragon with little tiny purple wings (only sandy and jordan will ever understand), and it was a good time for all... well most likely not for the other people (not so crazy) around us. That is not the only occurrence of this happening, as the holidays draw nearer we have also been known to put dirt digging lyrics to Christmas songs.
Also at work, there must be some people kissing piggies, because my crew has been pretty small. We usually have a crew of 6 and therefore I have to seat in the front middle of our truck, but I haven't had to sit there for like a whole week. Anyway the swine flu shouldn't be such a big deal, but I sure as heck do not want it!! There is too much going on.
So in case you haven't noticed USDA has become my life. This is only because with the season drawing to a close, we have been working extremely long hours. Last Friday I worked 7am to 6pm. I practically have my 40 by Thursday. Then I get home and have barely enough time to shower and run out the door to whatever I have going on. So if your wondering why I spend so much time talking about it, it is only because that is all I do, not because I am obsessed!! The other week I only had Sunday off!! Talk about a long tiring week!!
So speaking of being busy, it is also Halloween, so I thought I would share a normal week in the life of... well... me silly. It is the Katie Jean update, not the Velma sue update or the whatever to the whatever update.
So this last week we will start with Monday: which of course was FHE with the singles branch, where we went to Leo's place and played laser tag (I was way good at it BTW for the first time in my life) Then Tuesday: I went to a bridal shower for a girl I work with. She is getting married in the Palmyra temple, I am so excited for her!! Then on Wednesday: I usually go Country dancing, but I felt like I was coming down with something so i decided it would be best to stay home! Thursday: There is usually institute but my branch had baptisms instead, and I probably could have gone to both, but we had dinner at the temple at the same time as institute... who would want to miss that. One of the coolest things about the temple, is that the girl that went before me was baptized for a princess... I real live Princess!! It was so cool, it was part of her title. Princess [some name I can't pronounce] of [some place I can't pronounce or remember]!!!! Friday: was so great, me and 9 friends went to the haunted mill to be scared and then to applebees for their half off appetizers!! I wasn't that scared of the mill, but my friend clinging to my arm made the whole night worth it!! She screamed bloody murder at anything that came her way. I'm sure she made the spooks day!
Oh the other great part was the girls behind us, we would go through one particularly scary part and not really scream or anything; but the girls behind us screamed and jumped so much, I actually started clapping for them, and asked for an encore! Then Saturday: was way nice because they told us the day before we would have to work, and then ended up calling us and telling us that it was too wet! Then Sunday(today): I got to church and the power was out in the seminary building, so we all crowded in one classroom that had the most sunlight! Talk about a very cozy and relaxed Sacrament meeting! All in all it was a pretty great week. I wish I had a picture of the week, but sadly I do not, so I will share a blurry picture from September's get connected that showcases one of the lovely Hawaiian shirts we had in a prop box!! Don't worry shoulder pads are included!
Well that is all, if you don't think I'm funny... to bad because I think I am! Have a great day!
