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.

Christmas pictures and more

Ok i finally got my computer back so I can post pictures now...these pictures are from christmas break, there are a lot of them and they are pretty random.

This is a picture of my Albert with my moms coat on, he actually asked her if he can keep it. Thankfully she said no.
Here is me with my tiara on cuz im a princess (doing my monkey face)...i wore that tiara basically the whole time I was home.
One thing that I really miss at school is waffles. At my mom's house, she has this belgian waffle maker that makes the best waffles. But I don't have a waffle maker so the only time I get waffles is when I go to my mom's house. So on christmas morning I made waffles for everyone and they were delicious...not that anyone can mess up making waffles...lol
Now it was time to open presents...

Nick wore a turban...

Albert popped 5 collars...

and I got a ferrari...
Now ill talk about this week...as opposed to the weather by Jen, our weather has been beautiful. it hasn't snowed for like 2 weeks and the temperature even got up to 40 this weekend. Now this weather may not sound warm but it's better than the 12 degrees when I first came, and it's definitely better than last year when it snowed practically everyday. So I am enjoying this while it lasts.

So about 2 years ago, when I was going to Hawaii, I got a coconut ring...I basically wore it everyday, but then on Wednesday at work, my hand got smashed between two bowling balls and my ring snapped. My hand was only bruised but now my ring is in four different pieces. Sad day.
Here's a picture of my ring in pieces.
So yesterday me and my room mates spent the whole day painting...our living room went from being aquamarine (it was pretty hideous and loud) to a forest green and gray....it looks pretty good now. Ok that's all for now.

Christmas and More

Much to my dismay I am up at 10am on a sunday. I usually sleep until at least 11 or 12 on sunday but family members (who have forgotten what it was like to be single and childless) decided to call me. Anyways I thought it was a good time to post a blog considering its been a few weeks since the last one. Oh and I can't put up pictures yet because I dont have my computer back from hp yet.

Christmas was so much fun, mainly because my niece Alicia was there. I played with her basically the whole time that she was at my parents house. I loved it when she would say, "no mommy, not you, I want Misa." hehe. That made me feel so loved.

Although Alicia eventually loved me, she started off disliking me...a lot...lol. When my mom and I picked Steph, Nick, Ali, and Kat (the Pulhams) up from the trainstation, Ali screamed at the top of her lungs to make sure that I didn't sit next to her. Also the first few mornings I had to re-win her over, but by the end of the week, I'm pretty sure Ali thought I was her best friend. I was so sad to leave her, but I have to get an education.

Ok so I have been in school for a week now and im pretty sure that this semester will be a kind of hard. I'm not maxing out my credits but the classes I'm taking are kind of difficult. Hopefully I will do well though so that I can make it into the accounting program. I will apply in April and should know if I made it by June so if you ask me before June if I was accepted, then I probably don't know yet. Ok so thats all for now.

One more thing. No one voted on my last poll so I just died my hair dark brown.

Hello again everyone. It has been a while since I last made a post but there is a reason. My computer has been broken for a few weeks. Here's what happened...

(Just to give a background info, when my laptop is closed, it is supposed to be off.) So one day I come into my apartment and my laptop is on and thinking (even though it was closed). When I opened it up, the computer screen was squished to the bottom half of the page and there were black lines going across the page. So i turned off my laptop and when I turned it back on it took about an hour to start up. Since then It has had about a 50/50 chance of actually starting up when I turn it on, and if it does turn on then it will randomly turn off or freeze frequently. So I have not been able to use it. Steph thinks it is the video card but if anyone else has any ideas I am willing to hear them.

Ok so back to me...lol. The semester just ended and I think that I did pretty well on finals. I will know my grades in about a week. Hopefully I did well. I apply for the accounting program after this semester and hopefully my grades this semster will give me a good chance of making it into the program. I'm so excited to be home because I have been able to play with my neice ali all day. Yesterday we played, read books and went to the park. It was so fun. The last time I saw her, she couldn't even talk and now she talks so much. I love christmas and can't wait. It's in 6 days...yay.

My First Blog

Hello everyone. Even though I don't have kids or a bird, I have a blog so that everyone can be updated on my life. Ok so to start off, I just took a midterm and two finals on Tuesday. I was afraid that I would fail all of them but surprisingly I got A's on all of them (accounting 93%, self defense 100% and Business communications 95%). That made the rest of my day great.

I embarrassed myself yesterday. Everyone that knows me knows how graceful I am...lol. So i was running up stairs to class because I was late (like always), when I must have missed a step. Next thing I knew, I ran into a wall against the stairs and fell down. Luckily, I was near the top of the stairs so I didn't roll down them, unluckily, the stairs were marble. I was laying on the top of the stairs in pain when this guy was walking towards me. I assumed that he would help me up but instead he goes out of his way to walk around me. So much for chivalry...lol.

Oh and I died my hair a reddish brown about a month ago. Here is a picture but most of the red has faded.
