more guns stolen

So, my title is just as is states! Who knew living in a small town could be so exciting.

The story goes...

A couple of weeks ago, my mother asked me if I had gotten into our family pick-up over the weekend. "No, why?" I asked. She proceeded to tell me that someone had gotten into the cab and rifled through the glove box and arm rest, they had also pushed the seats forward and looked for any "hidden treasure." It was apparent that they didn't want our full sized blow-up air mattress, or a car insurance card that didn't belong to them, or a trailer hitch, or an old beef flavored dog biscuit. DARN!!! They sure picked the wrong vehicle to rummage through, and the wrong driveway full of cars to get anything good out of...WRONG

A couple of days after all this happened, my dad came home and asked if I had taken his shotgun from his work truck. "No, why?" I again asked. "Well, because my shotgun is gone!" he boldly stated to me with a hint of regret in his eyes.
You see, his shotgun belonged to his Grandad, my Great Grandad. It was manufactured
in 1905, making this shotgun over 100 years old. It holds sentimental value more than
anything else. And, me being the outdoor-sy daughter that I am and enjoying the days
shooting trap or skeet, or occasional goose hunting (another post will soon come telling you all
about my first goose hunting trip! GET EXCITED!) it made me sad too :( Beings that I too own
a gun that belonged to my Grandad.
So, as you would guess. My parents went on with the regular actions that one would take when something gets stolen. They informed the town police, gave the make and model of the gun, the description of some distinguishing marks, minus the serial number which my dad had never taken the time to look at and memorize or take the time to write down. So, as again you might guess the sheriff said the possibilities of finding it were looking slim. He informed us that he would turn in this information to the surrounding pawn shops, which again you might guess are few and far between beings that I live in a town in the middle of NO WHERE Nebraska, and would inform us of any news that came up...


...completion of this story will come. I have to get back to work.

P.S. I have lots of good post stories, I just have a hard time finding the actual time to post. So, look forward to my exciting news and adventures.

P.S.S. I really miss hockey, but that didn't stop me from voting for Chay Genoway as the Hobey Baker recipient. You should do it to! NOW!

P.S.S. Kels, I miss you like crazy! You should let me know when the 10% society is having their spring drag show. I really want to come! Because, you know...it's what we do!

...temper tantrums please...

This really happened folks. Talk about being unprofessional, immature, and unclassy. But very, very hilarious.

My favorite part is where he stand on top of the boards.

While he may appear to be a five year old who did not get the bigger half of the cookie...he is actually the coach of an NCAA DI hockey team.

You keep it classy, Denver....

P.S. x2: Someone tell Kayt to blog, my posts are getting lonely...

...other Super Bowl champions than the...

...Pittsburgh Steelers. That's right. I'm officially claiming the Steelers as my pick to win the Super Bowl. I don't know if any of you know this (I know Kayt does) but I have somewhat of a record for picking the winning team. Its something like 5-0. That's right. I'm undefeated. When I pick the Steelers to win, its like I'm giving the other team an irreversible hex where something terrible will happen to them (Remember Rex Grossman? I picked the Colts that year). So the Steelers have pretty good odds, with me on their side, that they will win. You're welcome Ben Roethlisberger and Steeler Nation.

Go Steelers. Feb 1. Super Bowl Champions.

Oh. And vote for CHAY GENOWAY for Hobey Baker. Vote. Right now. Chay. Genoway. Thats all.

P.S. How cute is it that some guy proposed on PostSecret. Go check it out. Its really cute.

P.S x 2: Temperature Update: It warmed up to above zero degrees. But the five days of -40 temperatures were a little rough...

...colder place...

...than G.F. Seriously. I don't think you can appreciate how cold it is here. Its cold. Like cold. Like really, really COLD. I hope the italics and the CAPS lock can convey exactly how cold it is here. Its cold. Really. Damn. Cold. And to put it into perspective....
Today, the average temperature in G.F. was colder than today's average temperature on the top of Mt. Everest. Really. My little slice of heaven was colder than the top of the highest mountain on this planet. That's cold, folks. Really, really cold. Don't worry, we still had class...and I attended all of them...

From a semi-reputable site I found by googling Mt. Everest...

"....The climate of Mount Everest is naturally extreme. In January, the coldest month, the summit temperature averages about -36° C (about -33° F) and can drop as low as -60° C (-76° F)"

Yeah, its that cold...

So, as luck would have it, I thought I would have at least 30 minutes to write today. But, I only have like 5. I have laundry to go switch and then off to the Alley so I can strip some lanes before our bowling league comes in tonight.


I talked to a few of my friends today who have all started their first day of classes.

Kels-Had a lovely meeting this morning at 7am and was informed that her sport got switched. Not the best news, but not the worst. When I talked to her she hadn't had class yet and was on her way at 3. Then, off to softball practice. Until 8 or 9 :( Feel sorry for her, I do!

Alex-Started class today at 8am and was done at 2pm. When I talked to her I was on speaker phone (AWKWARD) and one of my sisters said hello. So, I had a short lovely talk with the two of them. They are both "big shots" at the Wellness Center and were headed over to pick up their keys. OH LA LA!

Allie-Told me she sent me a package! Oh how fun, I love to get packages. I know that the package contains: a dog brush, a bottle of dog shampoo, (both things I left that belong to Baylie, our family dog), and one lone sock. So hopefully that isn't all in the package, not that I'm greedy or anything, it is just that I like not to be told what is in a package that way I can be surprised, even if it is just a sock :)

Stacey-Overslept on her first day of school, so, she decided to not go at all.

Also, it had been brought to my attention: THE FROZEN TUNDRA, IS REALLY FROZEN! E.G. THEY ALL SAID IT WAS SUPER COLD

Those were my updates for the day. It was nice to talk to all of them, by phone and text. I miss them. TONS.


Well, gonna grab my cookie and run!

...warm days for quite a while...

I woke up this morning for my 7 am meeting to a balmy -36 degree temperature. Luckily my car started and I didn't have to walk across campus at 6:40 in the frigid weather. At this meeting, I found out I have been switched from being an athletic trainer for the baseball team to the softball team. Yuck.

I love watching award shows and I love picking apart the outfits. Here is my dissection of the Golden Globes:
-Drew Barrymore had some major JBF hair...
-Renee Zellweger's hair was AWFUL
-Loved Kate Winslet, the blonde girl from House, Eva Longoria and Amy Adams. That's about it.
I realized I will never look like these people and so I should not judge them...but its so much fun! And I can't believe Mickey Rourke won. Really? Mickey Rourke? Gross... But Leonardo DiCaprio was foxy as always!

I saw Gran Torino over the weekend. I love Clint Eastwood. He was brilliant in the movie. If you don't mind some swearing and racial slurs, I would recommend this movie. I also saw Bride Wars...it was pretty cute. This is a little more for the mainstream crowd than Gran Torino I would say...

I have a habit of leaving things just lying around (right, Kayt?) and while making my six hour drive realized I had left my shampoo, my conditioner, my toothbrush, and my medicine at home...real smart.

That's all I can think of for now... Stay warm!
