Hell week is OVER!

OMG. Last week was just unreal. I still haven't figured out how many hours I worked, but it felt like I worked 100. I'm glad that it only comes once a year. Incase you're wondering, last week was Welcome Week. This means that we (CSP's I.T. Dept) had to setup laptops and provide training to all of the new/transfer/returning student. We offered 20 different class times last week! I don't know how many laptops we setup but I would guess it was around 250-300 at least.

The end of the week was probably the best. We decided to go to the MN State Fair! We went by ourselves this year and spent 4 hours just seeing all the things we wanted to see. We heard a lot of great music, saw a lot of great sites, and ate some amazing food. We had cheese curds, a pronto pup, a chocolate malt, and deep fried oreos! I love the state fair food. Beyond that I pretty much rested and tried to recover from last week. We had Culver's for supper tonight and I think I'm in the early stages of a food coma :) Good night for now. Adios!

Just Because

I was taking my supper break and decided to do some searching for different interesting images and this one made my day. Enjoy!

Evening in Duluth

Enough...

There's been enough harassment from friends that I've FINALLY taken the time to sit down and update this place a bit. Let's see what's been happening since I last wrote:

- bought a home (we actually had this at last post, but we're now moved in and we've made it our own)

- bought a set of golf clubs (I still suck, but I consider this to be my first real year of playing)

- went to Duluth
I elaborate on this one a bit because it was just so cool. Elsa had never been there, and it was about 17yrs since I was last there. We walked down Canal Park and saw the lift bridge and all the shops. We drove to Two Harbors and saw the lighthouse there. There are so many cool things to do there that we're planning on going back again.

That's pretty much all the highlights. I've been working all summer, and Elsa went back to school a week or two back. This week is pretty much hell week at work. We've got laptop training classes every day this week, and we've got about 4-7 classes each day. Yippie :) At least they're not all 2 hour classes like they were last year. We've gotten them down to 30-50 minutes. It's just going to be a long week. I will definitely be needing a beer come friday night! The MN State Fair starts this weekend, and I know that Elsa and I would like to go, but I think we'll have to wait until the following weekend to go, just with our schedules this week. Elsa also starts school next monday. She's only got 8 kids this year, but she's excited. Hopefully she won't get too stressed out this year. Take care all, and drop a line sometime. Adios!
