Here is to my cat loving peeps

Age

Yesterday at work I was helping someone and she said "o, you ah bery wittle" (she was Asian..) and I said "O yes I am" and she says "o, ow old ah you" and that's when it hit me:

When I was 19, I hated to tell people that I was 19 I would always tell them that I was 20. Just because I didn't want people to know that I was still a teenager. "o that girl is a teenager lets stone her" was kinda what was going through my mind, right?

So this woman asks me how old I am and I had the hardest time saying 20. In my head I though "well I'm 20, but I don't really want to say that, what should I say? Well than again my mom always taught me to be honest, but a women never reveals her age!" so I said "20."

I think I have finally understood what it feels like to be old. I used to want nothing but to be out of my teens and now I'm embarrassed to tell people. I don't understand this complex feeling.

The response to {cousin}

After reading Cassidie's... I mean {cousin}'s blog, I thought to myself, "ya know what I think that it would benefit myself to do this" because yesterday I was feeling a little flabby because for some odd reason I just can't stay away from the junk food (holla!!). So here are some things that I really like about myself:

• I love my brown eyes. Even though everyone these days has brown eyes in my right eye i have a freckle!
• I love my toes. They are long and I can pick things up (the oddest thing I have picked up is a golf ball). Its very hand when my hands are full with a laundry basket and one single sock falls out!
• I love my freckles. I heard in my biology class that freckles are a rare dominant gene!! GO ME!
• I love being so short! One Saturday Chris and I went to his grandma's house to pick raspberries, and lucky for me all the best ones were at the bottom of my bush, where no one else could see them.
• I love my scars. Even though sometimes people hate there scars mine have funny stories behind them and they have taught me very valuable lessons. (i.e. don't rest your knee on the propeller of a boat to get back in the boat!)

There I feel better about myself!! Bring on the junk food once again!

The 4th of July. delayed...

Well the 4th started out great. I got to sleep in and I even "cleaned" my room, bathroom and car. (cleaned means that I just put everything away, by no means would I suggest that anything was clean enough to eat off of.) After that Chris came over and we watched "Jaws." I had never seen it before and Chris that was absolutely unheard of. And it turned out Jaws was a good movie to watch on the 4th because it takes place on the 4th! WHO KNEW! After which we went to my uncle's house on my dad's side and we got to under go the traditions of our fore fathers. If you ask me they don't make much sense: Let's eat outside in the dead of heat of the summer, cook with smelly smoke that very well could choke you, and eat the very foods that attract bees and mosquito's! Good idea guys. All in all it was fun and the food was way good!! After dinner Chris and I rushed to Kaysville and watched the Davis Fireworks with Chris's fam. Here is a pic:

It was so dark, the flash hurt my eyes.
(notice our awesome glow necklaces)

I managed to keep my eyes open and Chris's little
sister jumped in! What a spectacle.

My Rant II

Well I have been working at my new job for about two months now and I have realized a few things about how people bug me.

• No one loves to be at work. Its called work for a reason. So lets just all make it better and when your boss asks you to do something stop complaining and do it. Next time you say the "F" word toward your superior I will bunch you in the mouth.
• Believe it or not, I am human. So is everyone else. That is why we can fix mistakes very easy, because snot happens. Do not come in and tap your gay little fingure at me and tell me that I gave you stupid ugly boyfriend attitude and wrote your rent check out wrong and I don't know how to do my job when YOUR dumb gay boyfriend doesn't know how to spell it. It's ok I can fix it. (I'm not gay bashing... just don't be a jerk)
• Smiling when you don't mean it, really isn't that hard.
• Again, I'm human sometimes every couple of hours I need a bathroom break don't get up in my business because I was gone for 4 mintues. You'll survive I promise.
• Shower: (shou'er) verb: to bathe oneself in a shower. Learn it, use it, than for gosh sakes SHOWER... getting wet in the rain doesn't count! and we have a BIG problem if you can't smell yourself sweetie. Because you have some stink going on sir!
• Do you really think that it was a good idea to cash your pay check when it is over a few thousand dollars and then go walking around downtown Salt Lake City? Because if you feel safe, I will take it upon myself to introduce you to some very dishonest people. (i.e. Mr. Nascar)

Other than some quite colorful people (not a racial comment). I really do enjoy my job and I feel very grateful to have a job that is relatively good paying in a bad econmy and knowing that I am doing better than other people.. kinda some job security there.

So June...

Yeah to be honest, I really have no reason to not blog more, because I have really nothing going on in my life other than work which is only about 5 hours a day 5 days a week. But to get you caught up in my dull life, Chris and I went to LAKE POWELL whoop whoop...

"Hey, look! Me made shelter!"

After two full days, one in the pouring rain
One night freezing to death and the other day in the blazing sun.
We made it alive to the house boat.

Yeah, I made a friend

Than, Chris decided to make a sandcastle.. and I said "right..."

But he conquered!! And turned that pile of mud into this…
He said it was my future home, I just hoe when the time comes
He makes it a little bigger so I can fit in it.
