To those of you who tie your shoes together

This weekend I was at work when I decided that I have a new biggest pet peeve. I work at a bowling alley called Fatcats. I like working there because I get a meal for free whenever I work and it's a pretty chill job, but I can't stand one thing. I don't like when people tie the bowling shoes together before they give them back to us. It would be fine if just one person did it and I didn't have a lot of shoes to put away but that is never the case. On Saturdays when Fatcats is always super busy, there are always a whole counter of shoes to put away and half of the pairs are always tied together (and last Saturday when I worked, I had to stay after my shift to put away shoes even though I had somewhere to go). I have to untie the shoes before I am able to put them away because they cannot fit correctly in the shoe slots while tied together. So having shoes tied together always doubles the time it takes to put away shoes. which means that the line of people waiting to be helped gets super long. If the line is super long that usually makes customers upset, and I don't like being yelled at by customers. In conclusion, please don't tie your shoes together. I would rather you don't tie your shoes at all than for you to tie your shoes together.

Valentines' Day

Ok so this week wasn't too interesting but i had fun on Valentines' Day. A bunch of guys planned a scavenger hunt for me and my roommates and even though my team lost, we still had lots of fun. One of the things on the list was "stuff your face with candy," so of course I volunteered to do that one. Here is a picture of me with a mouth full of Swedish Fish (I fit the whole bag in my mouth, and even though the bag doesn't look too big in the picture, there were a lot of Swedish Fish)

I would just like to inform everyone that I have fallen in love. During the scavenger hunt, we saw a lady walking this beauty. It is a Great Pyrenees. It is the most beautiful Dog I have ever seen. She shed all over me, but that's ok. I looked up the Great Pyrenees and they are "calm and courageous" and good with children, but it needs lots of space to run around so I guess I can't get it right now. But look how happy it is with me.

One more thing. when I came home from work yesterday i had a bunch of Valentines on my table. You're never too old to get candy and cards that say stuff like, "You light up my heart" or "BFFs"...ok so that's all for now.

I know that I painted my apartment a while ago but I finally have a video of it...the video is pretty short but you can finally see what a pro at painting I am. And I don't know if you can see the edges but we came across a problem with edging...it was too hard to get the edges straight because the wall has dips and bumps in it and we aren't painters.



Ok so this week was pretty busy/stressful for me because I had my first big accounting test so I studied a lot. I was pretty convinced that I would fail but I got an A (only because the curve was set so low...lol). I haven't started on my accounting application but I probably should. My roommate (she isn't the one who shares a room with me...she is in the room next to me) is the girl sitting on the couch in the video...she is very sick, with like an ear infection and some virus or whatever.

This week I went to the Draper Temple Open House with the Relief Society in my ward. Draper is a city in the Salt Lake Valley and that temple is the 12th temple in Utah. It is so beautiful. The chandeliers looked like they were rainbow-colored and the cookies they served after were so delicious.

One last thing. The weather here has been so nice. It has been in the 40s. On Thursday I even went to school in just a sweater (instead of my huge jacket). I would like to think that it marks the end of winter here but that would just be wishful thinking...lol. Ok well thats all for now.
