Happy Pioneer Day!!!

So today, I did NOT want to get out of bed!!!  When I woke up I had chills, was nauseous, and my head was pounding.  After I opened my eyes and realized that the sunlight coming through my bedroom window and the sound of my fan were making me feel worse I figured out that, yes, I was waking up with a migraine!  I'm just glad I figured that out, cuz now I can finish all the fun 24th of July plans I had.  Namely cleaning my room and deep cleaning my bathroom (I just got new cleaning supplies so I'm actually very excited about this one!)

Not much to report today, this week's gone by sort of fast.  I got a new job at a comfort shoe store at the mall (Tradehome Shoes) were I'll be making minimum plus commission, I hung out with a few of my friends this week, Igot a free pearl necklace, Iworked, had cleaning checks (I passed, yay) and I only had one migraine all week (that's a happy thing!!!)  Oh, and last night I realized I'll be 21 in two weeks!!!!  How exciting!!!!!!  (well, I'm excited anyway!  yay!)  That's all, just wanted to wish you all a happy Pioneer day!!!!!!!

HAPPY 11th BIRTH DAY EVAN!!!!! YOU ROCK!!!!!

So basically my little brother, Evan turned 11 today (he gets to rhyme with his age again!)  He's pretty cool...I mean, after all, his is my brother!  He's probably one of the sweetest kids ever, he loves people, he's a crazy good little musician, he's smart as a whip, he always wants to do what's right, he was my model when he was two (he'd let me dress him up in his Looney Tunes letterman jacket and spike his hair and then take pictures...he looked sooooo cute!!!!), but I think the reason I love him so much is that he loves me and thinks I'm pretty cool too (no one tell him the truth, ok?  That'd ruin the illusion.)  So, Happy 11th Buddy!!!!  Love you and miss you!  hope you have an awesome birthday!!!!!!

Long Day & The Ever Constant Job Search!

So I'm pretty much WAY tired right now!  I've had the most amazing week, but I'm going to post more on that later.  I've realized through this week how much of a slacker I really am right now.  I was pretty stellar in high school, but I've gotten exceptionally lax as of late and that just isn't awesome.  So, there's something to work on! :)

Marly and Claire...yes, your phones and yourselves made my life so much easier this morning... muchisimas gracias por todo!!!!!!

K, so I woke up at 5:45 today and headed over to TRAX (I was in SLC and decided that the earlier I got to TRAX the earlier I'd get to my apt and the more likely I'd be able to get to work on time)...Well, I got to TRAX, checked the schedule, bought me up a ticket and waited...and waited...and panicked a bit as I waited some more.  I then remembered that because the 4th of July (my favorite holiday second to Valentines Day) landed on a Sunday that today might be a holiday of sorts...and it was, so no buses.  I would've been able to get to Sandy, but not Provo.  I then headed to a hotel and used their phone, but it would only call local numbers which made it hard to even call people in my ward.  I then found a pay phone and called my mom, and then finally came up with the smart idea of heading back to Grandma's condo (the place I had spent the night with my cousins on our way from Idaho).  When I got there I was able to use Marly and Claire's phones (they're my cousins, my life-saving cousins!!!)  And at 9:06 I finally found a ride and was able to get to work only a little late.  

I worked till 5, got home at about 5:30 and returned to my seemingly fruitless job hunt.  I found a few positions open at 7-eleven (mmmm, Slurpees...I want one sooooo bad right now!!!) and Home Depot, and then I was on Facebook with my old KFC buddy, Tyler, and he suggested that I apply where he works: Costco.  So, I did.  And that was my day...oh, and I had a chicken sandwich and some dry cereal (I was too tired to cook...speaking of which....I really need some water!!!)  I also discovered that listening to Lifehouse on Pandora practically SCREAMS high school for me...it's kind of crazy.

Ok, I'm going a little nutty with my sleepiness...have a fantastic night everyone!  Love you all!!!!!
