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.

LOVE ANNOUNCMENTS!!!!

So I haven't had anything to post for awhile because all my life is, is wake up go to work. Nothing exciting happened. I had a really bad hair cut and cried for a few hours and was going to post on that but decided not because I didn't want to publish the post with out pictures and I didn't want any pictures of it. (really she just cut off all my bangs so its not that bad).

But then.... Chris and I had a wonderful Sunday together. We got up early and got ready (separately) then he came over and we drove to Provo to watch one of my cousins get blessed, and sat around for lunch with them and then came home and just had a wonderful lounge day! It was very delightful, we went home and I didn't think things could get any better. Then Chris got down on one knee and looked me in the eyes and asked "the Question".

Just Kidding... But really, we got to my house and there was my precious little fur ball waiting on the front step to let someone let her in and then I saw an orange fur ball waiting with her. Yup that's, I walked in on my little girl's first door step scene. MINNIE OFFICIALLY HAS A BOYFRIEND and all though I think she is too young to be dating, I checked him out and he is actually very healthy and muscly so I guess if I have to let someone love her I'll just have to allow this Tom Cat into my pride of cats.

Life of the Indecisive

I know it has been quite a while since I have updated you but, unfortunately my life has been quite busy, even though I haven't really DONE anything...

(this is what it will look like if I don't pick a major soon)

It all started with finals week. I barely made it through that alive, mind you at the end of finals week I changed my major from Computer Science, to Elementary Education. That same week I had been interviewing at Mountain America Credit Union for a Teller position. (Or as they call it an MSR, member service rep.) I got the job and spent a week and a half in training, and moved back to my parents house. 8 long hours a day of just sitting and listening to things that I already new about. (Because as many of you know, I already know everything, why I'm spending so much time and money in college, I have no idea). Once training was over I went to the branch and started to teller at the new credit union with new rules and computer software and try to pretend I know what I'm doing.

Well summer school started and I was doing really good for a few days with my two online classes and my one in person class, when I decided, I really don't have enough patience for kids to have it be my job for the rest of my life... and so I dropped all my summer classes and now I'm major-less (any suggestions would be wonderful, keeping in mind I have tried Business IT, Computer Science, Math, Computer Science again, Elementary Education, and now homeless).

Other than work and school, Chris has started to play a rec softball league and I went and watched. They're first game they one 30 to 14 or something embarrassing like that. One of Chris's friends wife is on the team and I thought "Hey that would be fun," but after watching the game (watching - wŏch (verb): To pretend to be fully alter of your surroundings when in reality you are reading a book and listening for whizzing foul balls.) I remember my pitiful gym grade and decided to let Chris be the athletic one, and I'll stick to running.
