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.

I decided this week that i was going to crack down and really start a diet. I put off grocery shopping for the better part of the week so I couldn't really start yet, but yesterday I bought a whole shopping cart full of Rabbit Food. So I have officially started my diet, and hopefully I won't be tempted by meat, grease, and fries, and other unhealthy fast food. My goal is to lose 10 lbs. I will also be trying to make it down to my apartment's gym. I got shoes already, so all i need is some pants to work out in and then I won't have any excuse to not go down there. I don't really care how long it takes me to get rid of the 10 lbs, just as long as I do it :D

Yesterday at work I got the special project of setting up the table at the front of the store for the 4th of July. I was surprised Diann was going to trust me with this task because usually she doesn't like anyone doing something different from what she pictures in her mind. She left me a list of things she wanted on the tables and where she wanted them to be and then left. Well I finished my opening tasks along with finishing up brownies that were going to be on the table and then began taking stuff to the front. First I had to move the produce display and the grocery display so we could be smack dab in the middle of the entrance :D Produce wasn't too happy about it but oh well, bakery is better anyways. I put two 6' tables back to back and then boxes on top in the middle. Covered them in red, white, and blue table clothes and arranged everything so it looked really good. Problem was in was nothing how Diann said she wanted it so I was worried she was going to come into work the next day and totally rip my table apart! that would have been sad because i spent so much time on it. Well I called in today to ask Kim (the decorator) or Denise (the closer) if Diann messed up my table. Denise told me that she hadn't and in fact she had been going on and on to Brad that morning about how much she liked it! Maybe from now on she'll trust the fact that I know my job and I can do stuff just as good as her (but we all know i do it better :D)

Here's some pictures of mine and Steve's trip to Bridal Veil Falls one day. It was so bright, thats why I look funky in the picture. We skipped rocks and walked around, it was a nice change from sitting on the couch all day haha. But I think all the sun scared us lol. We ended up taking a bunch of videos of Steve driving, and that was pretty cool.

The first video was taken to just see how long my camera could record, and to try and get the sound of him drving, so its not filmed that great (especially when i thought it would work with it out the window) but it turned out pretty neat sounding. Steve likes to drive under overpasses, bridges, and through tunnels cuz it makes your exhaust really really loud. He has this favorite one that is across from the bridal veil park, so the second video is of that. enjoy!

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
