Ok, i know everyone is pretty ready for me to have an update! Here is one for you! I have been soooo so busy trying to pull things together and get from here to there to say goodbye to people and friends. It's been crazy. I have 8 days before i leave and there are still so many people i haven't seen. Like i need to get to winona tonight to say good-bye to all my smu friends and i need to stop in to see my cuzzin! I hope she will be around. I must call her! For the most part i sent you all my address in London, but if by chance i didn't send it to you and you would like it, e-mail me and nab that from me! I'd be pleased to give you my address! Let's see...i guess there hasn't been much going on in my life except saying goodbyes and getting things ready and freaking out in the mean time! It's a glorious state to be in! UTTER CHAOS!
This last weekend, i was in Iowa at my best friend Diana's house. She threw me a going away party and it was a blast! Unfortunately i missed the big Erickson Family Picnic. But no one really told me it was on that weekend, i guess i overlooked that and so i wish i could have been two places at once.It woudl have been nice to see my whole family before i left for Europe, but then again i needed to see diana and tim! so i guess it didn't work out, but i do intend to visit you gramma before i leave! What you doing Monday afternoon? Be home! Gramps too! ok...well i need to go shower; mom is taking me shopping for some jeans! yaaaaaaaaaaay! I will try to update again before i leave, but no promises! Be good everyone! Until we meet again...

Hi All, I'm babysitting for my last day today. :( It's bittersweet. I'm really going to miss Kyle and Ryan, but on the other hand it will be very nice to have some spare time to get things squared away before London. I also plan to go visit a bunch of people before i go...starting with this weekend! I'm going down to Diana's in Iowa to spend the weekend with her and tim and jeff and some other people! Nan is throwing me a big going away party and i can't wait!
Then Jamey is coming down to see me on the 1st with Alanna! That will be a good time. Maybe we can have roast and mashed potatos..HINT HINT MOMMA! Labor day weekend i'm going up to the cities to stay with Jamey for a while at his place and then going to visit heidi also...i'm planning a trip to see the kids at SMU, so i'm really looking forward to these next few weeks...13 days! (less than 13 days and i'm on my way to London!) Timmy and i discussed tickets to see Coldplay again in Europe...we could either go see them in Barcelona, Spain, or in Paris, France...what do you think? E-mail me with your ideas on that one! (hungee14@yahoo.com OR mjeric03@smumn.edu) It is going to rule no matter where they play! I LOVE them! Anyway..i suppose, the boys ate breakfast at like 11:30 today, so i think i should start to think about what they might want for lunch. I don't know what to make them..hummmmmmmm. I guess i'll have to think real hard! Anyway, i'm really really excited about this weekend! YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! I get to see tim, diana, and Jeff this weekend and then i get to hang out with Mark on Sunday night! YIP YIP! I'm excited! That's enough out of me. Have a good one!

So, i got beat up by a dog today. It's only 11:30 and i'm already in pain. I am babysitting the neighbor boys like usual and i decided to go out and play with the dog, Lucy. Well Lucy and i were bonding, she was laying there enjoying my pets and i decided i'd like to play fetch with her. So i grabbed her ball and tried to move to a place in the yard where i could throw the ball a long ways (to make her run out some energy) all the while she was jumping up on me and trying to get the ball...well before i could get to the right spot she jumped up onto my back and was pushing me down towards the ground..of course i was trying to get her off from me..and she clawed me across my back and all over my arms. SO now i not only have these huge swollen claw marks across my back, but they're on my arms as well. Needless to say i smacked the dog across the nose and scolded her. But that makes no difference to her, she's a dog. she doesn't get it. So now my back stings real bad. That was not cool. Being mauled by a dog first thing in the morning. Nice work Lucy..I HATE YOU! hehe.

On a lighter note i get to go see Diana tonight, and my Heidi Butt came home last night to hang out for a few days!!! SO heidi and i are going to go into rochester and meet Diana for Supper. I'm waaaaay excited! Then this weekend i get to go have a going away party for myself in Iowa at Diana and Tim's. YAAAY! I'm super excited for that! But yeah..anyway. I need to find some lunch for me and these boys. Ugh! I hate cooking, maybe i'll order Pizza. MMM!

Well tonight i was bombarded with little people once again! My little STI girls are so wonderful! They make me laugh! I wish STI camps went longer...however when i thik about it, two weeks is enough! But i do love the time i get to spend with the kids getting to know them. Tonight the two girls below came in to see me...First was Kali (Kay-lee) who is wearing the Fearless shirt, then soon after came Christina...the one in the tie-dye. BOTH ADORABLE!!!! So yeah, i thought i would share with you all the story of the two cute kids who came in to see me, but let's not forget that earlier this week i saw Morgan, and Alyssa...Ally and Elizabeth also tried to come in and see me, but i was not at work when they came in...so you see...I am loved! Even if it is by 11 year old girls! hehehe...Least we all know they have a decent Role Model! (Yes Mom, that's me!) Anyway, time for bed! Good night!




PS..i had to get on my knees for this pic...SHE'S SO SHORT! CUTIE!!!

this is a post dedicated to my loving cat, Biddy.

I just got some costumes picked out for the show i'm going to be in, in London...it'll be a good time. anyway. I'm going to be going now...i have to entertain these kids! they got their pin ball fix...time to go!

OMG! I just saw the most amazing concert of my life last night! I went to see COLDPLAY in Wisconsin at Alpine Valley....IT WAS INCREDIBLE! I am in love with Coldplay anyway, and then to be able to see them live and actually see them...the concert was outdoors and it was just beautiful...amazing...i can't describe it. They played all my favorite songs (except green eyes) and the ended with my all time favorite song "Fix You." It was the last of their three song encore! It was just....UH....i can't even put it into words. I was there with my Timmy, JC, and Swany. We had a blast! Wow...i can't wait to see them again in Europe! I will make a weekend trip to France to see them play! It would be sooooooooo worth it! I LOVE COLDPLAY!

GWENETH...I HOPE YOU KNOW YOU ROBBED ME OF A BEAUTIFUL MAN! I LOVE YOU CHRIS MARTIN!!!!

"Hey Fatty Meg..." Oh i love you guys too!!!

you want a post, but i have nothing to say....this doesn't work!

What a great weekend! I got to see Diana, Tim, and Jeffy a whole lot! That is a gooood good time! Thanks for an awesome weekend kids! Bed time for me! NIGHT!!!!

Well, tonight i'm going to get some sleep! Hehehe...i don't mind staying up all night talking though. I rather enjoy it, really!

I just filed my nails tonight and they are short and useable again. They were getting too long, which i'm sure you all care to know about, but i couldn't type or dial on my phone very well. Fake nails are pretty, but they are hard to use! I'm waaaaay excited for Friday to get here. I get to hang out with Diana, Tim, and Jeff that night and it will be a very very good time! I can't wait! We're going to the Rochester Fair for a while...then who knows?! But it'll be awesome fun!

Well, not much to report as i haven't done anything except work at STI camps this week. I worked BN one day and the rest of the week i have off from that book store! HA! Take that BN! SO yeah...i'm worn out, i'm going to go to bed i think..or lay in my bed and read Harry Potter. I haven't read it yet. I've gotten to page 2 thus far then i got distracted! Ok, time to read it! Later Dudes!!

Well...my first session of STI is over and i'm sad...but i have a new group of kids now and i'm hoping they'll be as amazing as the first group...it's still early in the session...so i don't know a whole lot yet, but here's a pic of my last week's group..Aren't they cute?!?!?! Can you find me?

On another note...i had a blast at Diana and Tim's wedding, as i've said before...and the fun just lasts and lasts...hee hee...Three hour phone calls are awesome! They give me PERMA-GRIN!!! anyway..here is a pic of Diana and me from her wedding...enjoy!
