these are our christmas paper outfits... i was a judge :)
Here is the Balcony of my apartment all decorated for Christmas! it's not much but i had two plugs and no way to hang it except for duct tape :D Not bad i'd say. There was supposed to be a contest between all the apartments. You were to fill out an entry form and turn it in by 5pm on Tuesday the 23rd and the winners would be announced on the 24th. I wasn't planning on entering but out of all the apartments, only two houses really decorated and it wasn't that much. Then lights at Albertson's went on clearance for $3 so i said what the heck and decorated a bit. But I haven't heard anything about the winners so i don't really know what happened with that... i guess i can assume i lost? :D

Hey You!
Hi, I'm still here, i haven't completely fallen off the blog train :D Our computer for some reason broke it's own wireless thing that built in so it doesn't even try to search for connections... I'll have to talk with Dad and see if he would know how to get it turned back on.
Life hasn't been that exciting, so maybe its a good thing that i haven't blogged to save you guys from having to pretend to read a really boring entry. lol Good news though, i am getting a raise at work and i'm going to ask if i can get retro pay for the hours over 1040 that i've worked with them forgetting to give me a raise. That would be pretty darn sweet and just in time for the holidays and getting ready for school and a new apartment. I'd feel bad, but it was their own fault that the office lady didn't keep up with her job. :D And seeing as the store director likes me, i don't think i should have any problem at all.
It's getting chilly here in Utah and my car definately noticed. After having to get the ignition switch fixed, trying to get it passed, paying my registration, and everything freakin else, my battery decided to go caput! not a drop of power left in the old peice of crap! So i got paid and got to go shopping down at the Sears Auto Center and buy me a $50 dollar battery. What's next? Tires, Belts, Sparkplugs, Oil Change? Stinkin' Cars....!
Well anyways, we're having a sleep over at Steve's Dad and Stepmom's house tonight, thus i'm borrowing their internet, but we've got a bedtime so we don't keep them up all night. I have pictures and such to post, but i'll have to wait until i have my cord with me (sorry trish!) anyways.... Nighty Night all!

The new 20 year old!
Thanks to everyone for calling and stuff and wishing me a happy birthday, it made the day really cool. I had a nice relaxing day, first i got to sleep in. Then I went to lunch with my dad, we went to Red Robin and it was delicious! it was really nice to just sit and catch up, it was way fun. Then i went home and read my book for a while and ended up taking a nap because I was soooo full. Then i woke up and got all cute to go out to dinner with my mom and sisters and steve at Los Hermanos, and of course that was yummy. I got sang to and got free ice cream too. It was a good birthday and I had alot of fun. I got some really nice things, my mom took me clothes shopping and i got a whole new wardrobe which was what i needed, all my clothes were starting to not fit. Steve also got me the best present ever! He finally got me the promise ring i've been asking for for a long time. Its so pretty, its a white gold band with a tanzanite stone (its a real pretty light purple) and a few little diamonds framing it. its sooooo pretty and perfect! He also got me a cute little peace sign necklace that i really like aswell. We also went out shooting a few days before my birthday which was lots of fun, my arm was bruised so bad though, the gun is quite the kicker! haha here's some pictures/videos
I like my face when i turn around from shooting, you can tell it was kinda a painful experience. Steve's video shows what the gun can do, its semi atomatic. The gun is called a SKS for those of you who want to know.
Here's a picture of my ring, my camera didn't want to take a good picture of it, so this was the best i could get, its really really pretty and i love it. It's not on my hand cuz it doesn't fit just yet, we have to go get it resized.
I also did another cake at work the other day, it was a ballerina barbie and it turned out really cute, i also made myself a birthday cake, whcih still hasn't been eaten haha
Thats all for now :D (ps sorry the one video is sideways, it wouldn't let me change it)

Catching up
So me and Steve took a trip down to Color Me Mine the other day and had quite a blast! I thought i was going to have to drag him down there, but he was all for going the moment i mentioned it. For those of you who might not know what Color Me Mine is, its a place where you go and pick out ceramic items and paint them! its so much fun! We're planning on going again this week and painting again. Steve painted the golf club bag, it was so cute because he had the tiniest brush they had and was painting about an inch from his face trying to get some small details in, and the stripes on mine were such a pain in the but to do, but i thought we both did very well considering we did it all freehand and such. Here's our creations,
And last but certainly not least, I did my first kit cake today at work! YAY! It was also the first real time i got to use the airbrush, which is super fun to do, it's not perfect but... ta daa!

I'm still alive
It's been a fairly fun few days... and i do mean that sarcastically. Our roomates had a party, so we left to stay somewhere else. Before we left we carefully put everything away and shut and locked our bedroom door. When I went home to inspect our stuff i noticed a few things out of place in our room i was a little suspicious about what when on when we were gone, the most important clue that something happened was a peice of paper with Beckie's (our roomate) name and phone number on it. On the far side of the room, on the floor, by our bed. So whoever Beckie gave her number to at the party was in our room, and most likely on our bed. I don't care if you had so many people over that you can't keep track of everyone, they are your guests and thus your responsibility. We confronted Nate about it and immeadiatly he was very defensive about it saying that he didn't like our attitude and that we were being "pricks" about the whole thing. So i sent a text message to him saying that there needed to be a new rule about no friends sleeping over, especially when we're gone. That even though he was asleep he was still responsible for what went on after. I guess that just made him mad because he came over and started yelling at me claiming that we must have forged this paper and that no one was in our room at all. We got in a huge argument about it and he was calling me names and stuff. Pretty much nothing was solved (except for use putting new doornobs on our doors with key locks) because nate thinks they did nothing wrong. So pretty much know everything is real awkward and pissy. I wish i could just punch him in his face. Anyways... thats about all for today, we're going to go see BATMAN!!!! yay!

We'd be better off being bossed around by Monkeys!
So i got a new phone and i've been playing around with it, trying to get music on it. Which has been quite a task seeing as you need the internet for it... haha well it's purple and freakin cool.
Work has been pretty annoying because the bosses are getting a little carried away with writing people up for nothing. Today Diann got written up for the cord for the slicer being plugged in while it wasn't being used. (This is the first and only time she's been written up in the 30 years she has worked for Albertson's). The reason why they don't like this is because it stretches across some open area to the plug and someone could trip over it. So if we are not using the slicer, we have to unplug in, coil it and hand it up. Even if we are just going to be helping a customer for a minute... waste of time i think because no one walks around the area it stretches over anyways.
Also a roody snoody guy who is in charge of 5s (some organization project thing) came in and wanted to move the entire bakery around for no reason. "because he likes change" he said, "he wants to make it easier for us, so we don't use extra effort and use less steps to get the job done" He wanted to move my table (the main production table) clear in the corner facing the wall, away from customers (its my job to help customers) and in front of the oven, proofbox, and fridge doors which are being opened and closed all day by the baker. So that would be in the way of them, and thus not very helpful at all... he's just a retard. Well the main part of this project is sticking labels on EVERYTHING, trash, paper towels, sink, book, tape, binder, pens, scale, table, heather, mixer, oven, icing, spoons, microwave, etc. Plus we have to put a tape square around all these things so they only have one spot where they belong... well with all this talk about saving effort and steps and such, thats alot of extra busy work they want us to do. Plus all those extra steps putting away the cord, then putting it out, then away, then out.... I think they're a little bit confused. But i sure wish i could have an office job where i just sat around all day and thought of ideas for everyone busting their butts at the albertson's, like putting stickers on everything with tape squares around it... cuz it just makes sense it should be that way...
And the best part of it all is the fact that we have audits every other day, and the bakery isn't looking its best because we're too worried whether or not the bucket of fudge on the back shelf and the stapler has a tape square around it...

A Little Late...
Well, i know its kinda past the fourth and all, but I guess I can write about how i celebrated it :D I started the day out by working, that was so much fun i guess. we were quite busy but it went by fast and i made a total of $181.32 (roughly) Then after work I came home and changed and then me, steve, and my mom went down to the street fair thing in Provo.
It took us a while to actually get there because after we drove my car all the way down to provo, my car refused to give me my keys and turn its engine off. My ignition switch thing is stuck in the on position. So we drove all the way back to the house, yanked out a fuse and left it in the driveway for time out... then we went back down to Provo :D The fair was pretty fun, we checked out this neat colonial setup they had and they had this room full of original documents from famous people of the past like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, it was really neat to look at. We also found Francis Lewis's signiture on the declaration and saw some neat printing presses. We got some yummy fresh squeezed lemonade then headed out to get food and find a spot to watch the Stadium of Fire fireworks. They were amazing! We ended up on State Street in Orem and they were still so freakin huge! It was alot of fun. Then we went home and picked up my retarded car who dicided to still be difficult, shoved the fuse back in and drove home, took the fuse out, then went to bed :) Then Yesterday me, steve, my dad, and luanne all hung out. we went swimming at our apartment and had alot of fun goofing around there. Then we came in and cleaned up and ate delicious beef bowls, that i made :) and then we drove over to the park and lit off some fireworks of our own... We accidently threw acouple of fireworks at my dad... it was sad, but we had alot of fun. So in all we had a terrific fourth of july weekend... sorry but i don't have any pictures :(
Here is the really cute cake i made Kara for her birthday

Home Alone with nothing to do
So the other day I decided to paint my toes, I bought a bunch of cute colors (pink, red, purple, blue, black, and clear) and picked purple to paint on! they are very cute purple toes so i wanted to show all of you!
You'll also notice in this next picture that i finally shaved my legs! haha But my legs are still really white, so I guess thats my next project for myself. I also painted my fingernails really cute, the picture is kinda really hard to see (fingernails aren't the easiest thing to take a picture of :D) I painted tips on my fingers like you would for a french manicure, but instead of white i used pink, the rest of the nail is plain except i did little black hearts on each nail. It turned out really cute except i couldn't really paint hearts that well on my right hand so i gave up and left them off two of my fingers haha.
I think the next thing on my list for today is fixing my eyebrows. They have been left untamed for too long, so I'm going to make them all pretty :D. Imagine the things you can do for yourself when you have nothing to do. You don't have to go to work, you don't have school, you don't have anyone to take care of. Just some quality pampering time.
Instant Updates!
- We lit off fireworks with Steve's nephews and neices. It was alot of fun because they enjoyed it so much. But the dang little kids kept running into the road after the burnt firworks 1. without looking out for cars and 2. while other fireworks were about to go off! We kept yelling at them to stay on the sidewalk until we were done and then they could get them, but they weren't listening! jeez
- I worked 5 days in a row, and i was dragging by the 5th day. But now i have two days off in a row so that will be nice... and then i get paid the day i get back! yay!
- Our phone bill is RIDICULOUS!!!! we worked hard to get all our past due stuff down and it was at $50 then we get our bill and it goes back up to $350! (it was $600 before because they didn't change our minutes back up like we told them too and we had like 800 overtime minutes) verizon sucks!!
- I bought a delicious watermelon and some peaches and they are sooo yummy. The watermelon was a pain in the butt to cut up though
- We watched the movies Vantage Point and Drillbit Taylor and both were really really good! I recomend them both
- There's this song called I kissed a girl by Katy Perry... the song sounds cool and it just amuses me... haha
Well that's about all for today. Peace out!

It's more yellow...
So the Internet finally decided to work today, sorry it has been so long. But I was finally able to get a new template thing like trish sugested, i thought this one was cute, but its more yellow than orange. :D
It has been so hot here in Utah these past few weeks, it's really nice, but its sooo hooooot! You really know its summer with this kind of heat and the constant desire to be submerged in refreshing pool water. My excitment for the fourth and twenty-fourth is growing as all the firework stands are being put up around town! I really like fireworks, they are so much fun (and everyone knows how much i love fire :D) Sometimes at work, when i take the french bread to the front of the store, i sneak over to our fireworks and look at them. Its like a kid in a candy store, my eyes get wide with excitement and i want to take everything, Things that sparkle, explode, scream, spin, and burst! but i don't have the funds for that kind of shopping spree :(
Another thing exciting about the fourth of July is my paycheck. Not only will I have close to 40 hours this week, but I get time and a half for the 8 hrs i'll work on the 4th, plus 8 holiday hours! so i'll be living rich for a while haha. Work has been pretty uneventful and I think it's because i only worked 29.5 hrs this week so i haven't really been there. That was a real drag because that was a 10 hr. cut for me.
Well, just an interesting side note is that my manager Diann (you know, the one that is off her rocker and going nuts and senile in her old age...) was supposed to get married this past week, but delayed it because she couldn't kick her druggie, stealing, son out of her house. So her and her fiance rescheduled for mid-July. Well then yesterday she was telling us how she got a phone call from some other guy who she was supposed to get set up with before she met her fiance, and this guy wanted to take her out on a date. This is a guy she hasn't ever seen or met, and she was all gun ho to go on a date with this other guy without even telling her fiance, who she is about to marry in 2 weeks! We told her she was crazy for thinking that was okay and she decided she was going to tell her fiance that she wanted to go out with this other guy. And all her fiance said was, "okay, if thats what you want to do." Then she "thought and thought and thought about it" and decided that she didn't want to date this other guy cuz she didn't want to lose her fiance.
All I know is that if you're that unsure about marrying someone (Who you don't even find attractive), you keep calling it off and then putting it back on, and then want to date other people, then maybe marrying this person isn't such a good idea. I think that Diann is just too picky. she's 58 and doesn't want to marry this guy because he's 4 years older than her (she said she doesn't want to get stuck taking care of someone who's too old to function) she wanted someone taller than her (and he's the same hight as her) someone with more hair (haha) etc. I don't know i think the whole situation is just amusing, and can't wait to see how long this guy puts up with her crazy butt! :D
Anyways.... enough about that.
Instant Updates!
- I think that one of my roomates (Beckie) is getting special privlidges and not paying as much rent as the rest of us. not by much i don't think, but still its not all that fair...
- I love Steve (he's been real stressed out lately because of our roomates, and i feel bad. he says they're like anxiety attacks)
- I got a bit sunburnt by the pool a while ago, but i think i tan easier now then i used to
- I haven't shaved my legs in months and they are very hairy... hee hee
- Trish is amazing at computer stuff, she changed my blog around alot and i love it! I struggled alot with it and messed it up and she fixed it!
- I can't figure out what to get angela for her birthday
- My dad is so sweet and cool :D
- My mom is too, now that i'm moved out it's easier to get along with her
- um... i still need to work out.... alot :)
Well that's about all today, sorry it's been so long and i don't have anything real cool to write about. Maybe I'll dig through my pictures and find some to put up :)

Lean, Mean, Racing Machine
My boyfriend LOVES cars, I'd go as far to say that he's a bit obsessive at times, but I think its cute. He also takes pride in his own car and takes way good care of it. Right now he drives a chevy cavalier, but it isn't just a normal cavalier, it's a supped up, sexy peice of machinary (his words, not mine :D) So I thought it would be nice to show you all how his passion is refected onto his baby. It's a real zippy car, and really fun to drive around in. He has alot planned to do with it in the future. And it's a heck of a lot cooler than my silly corsica haha!
This is Steve, His Brother (he's sucking it it!), and then a very white me (please no comments on my top trish! haha)
This is the boat he bought, and then a pretty scenic picture (yes that is a bathroom)
Instant Updates
- I was trying to figure out how to look up people's blogs. My dad said he made one but i wasn't sure how to find it other than asking him what the link was.
- Work went by pretty fast today, nothing exciting which means no fun work stories! I know you all are so disappointed
- I think I might talk steve into a late night dip tonight! that would be fun.
- I'm officially not going to school in the fall, but I had the head of the Culinary Program put me on the list to start in the Spring. Hopefully I'll be able to afford it then.
- I Love Steve :D
- I think I'm shopping for clothes on friday, just cuz i love myself
- Anyone know the cheapest place to get internet from?
Okay, that's about it for today... I think I'm posting too much, so i might give it a rest for a little bit haha. I blame Trish :P Peace out

Best things in life are free...
But this doesn't include free internet, cuz that just sucks. I haven't been able to get online for days now.
This is hannah with her friends
- Nate almost got strangled the other night... I almost felt bad, but I'm sure he deserved it a little bit
- Roomates have been cleaning regularily, and we have stopped. It's their turn to pitch in
- I Love Steve
- We got some cool chines laterns to hang on our balcany, i'll take a picture when we get then lit up!
- Diann, my manager, is gone for a week! So work will be super nice
- Our door has two bolt locks, one that can unlock from the outside with a key and one that doesn't unlock except for inside. Nate has begun to lock the latter and he locked us out today. Since he was asleep and usually doesn't hear anything when he is (not even an alarm after an hour) he didn't hear us knocking. So Steve climbed up to our second story balcony and let us in
- Me, Steve, and Becca and Hannah went and got shaved ice today, we sat in the park and ate them, it was pretty fun!
- Steve was going like 107 on the freeway, weaving in and out of traffic and got pulled over by some under cover cop guy and he just told us to slow way down and then told us to go. no ticket, no nothing!
- It's freakin HOT!!!
- Weezer new red album is a pretty good CD
Toodles all until next time!

Crazy Cake Hustlers!
So i don't know what it is about Albertson's, but it seems like a lot of people are always trying to get their cakes for free for no reason!
One lady ordered a spongebob cake and called in to see if she could pick it up at noon instead of 1:30. Well we had over 15 cake orders that day, so that was basically impossible, but we were trying to find the order, just in case we could squeeze it in earlier. Well I had forgotten to write "spongbob" on the order, so we didn't find it right away, so we told her we'd call her back as soon as we found it, but even if we didn't find it we'd have it ready for her by 1:30. I found the order, because I remembered taking it and called her back, not even 5 minutes later. I said I had it in my hand, with the receipt (cuz she already paid for it) and we'd have it done for her, but we were just so booked with orders we couldn't do it early. Then she started yelling at me saying how i ruined her kids birthday and that I scared her and she almost didn't have a cake for her kids birthday. Which i would understand if we didn't have it for her when she came to pick it up, but we still had almost 3 hours to do it! She called our store director and said how rude we were to her and how she was scared the decorator was going to spit in her cake. haha So we had to take the cake up to the service counter when it was done because she was scared of us and din't want to talk to us when she picked it up. And when she came in she wanted the cake for free plus a $40 giftcard to Albertson's for the hassle we caused her. (the cake was only worth $32!) Our store director pretty much laughed at her. She got her cake on time i don't see the problem?
One that happened today was this lady wanted an edible image of this cartoon, Charlie and Lola, that she printed off and brought in. Well problem is we can't do it because it's copyrighted and we have a license through this company (decopac) to do characters like that and they don't have Charlie and Lola. So we can't do it because we'll get sued. We told this to her really nicely and even said we'd do her a cake and she could stick the picture on the cake when she gets home, but we just couldn't do it. The lady was really mad and told us that we better "do the cake by any means possible! Even if you have to freehand the characters, I wants Charlie and Lola on the cake ready to be picked up tomorrow, and now I want it free!" haha okay....
One last story... There was this lady who used to come in all the time for cakes, but no matter how exactly we followed her instructions it was never even close to what she asked for! (The blue roses were supposed to be in the top right corner not the left, thats where the yellow ones were supposed to go!) yea.. we think she's not all there because the last time she came in and was disappointed with the cake she said this... "I'm sooo upset right now, i just don't know what to do anymore.... I just wet myself..." and she really did. It was gross. We ended up marking down her cake and sending her on her way to clean herself up. Last we've seen of her in months was when she came and gave us an apology letter saying she was sorry for how she acted, and that the person the cake was for actually loved it! haha
I think maybe just really really weird people shop at Albertson's! My manager Diann (who is complete nuts) went off on how disgusting she thought these people were! "They're hustlers! all they want is free stuff! They're theives!" Which may be a bit true, but its just funny hearing it like that from someone who is crazy (But Diann is another story).
Instant Updates!
- Nate took out the trash today! I saw it with my own eyes! Hard to beleive I know, I wouldn't have thought it could happen unless I saw it myself!
- Oh and aparently Nate thinks he's our financial advisor. Chinese lanterns are worthless junk, and he says we need to buy a desk (he tells us the ones at walmart are pretty nice and cheap).... and he needs to jump off a cliff! (but not die of course, that would be mean to say)
- Portuguese Rolls are delicious!
- Our pool is really fun, but the hot tub has green water for some reason..
- I have pictures to post! but not til tomorrow i think
- Steve got some cool decals to put on his car, they say enkei which are the brand of his new wheels, they look pretty darn cool.
- I want a convertable mini cooper and some new shoes
- Seen any good movies you recomend?
Well, thats about all i can muster to type for today, especially since i deleted it all on accident and had to type everything again! oops
