Wow. It's been awhile . . . again. Nothing much has changed although I have been extremely busy. Mom is home now every day and so she keeps me on my toes all day long! I'm trying to get things together so that I can take some summer classes at Weber or at the very least some in the fall. I am also working on getting credits transferred and recorded so that I have an actual (required) minor in place.

On another front, work at Barnes and Noble has been really slow and I practically don't work any days. Oh well, who needs money, right? Also in regards to work we got a new magazine in which celebrates Disney. It's really snobby of them and it costs $15.95 but it really is the coolest magazine ever! Inside they highlight what's going on in all their ventures. Disneyland, Disneyworld, Disney Broadway, Disney DVD/Blu-Ray, Disney soon to be released to theater movies, and even more. The cool thing, and the reason the cost is so high, is that the entire magazine is done in color. It's so awesome! You get to see footage and pictures from films and broadway that aren't published anywhere else! You also get to see sneak peaks of broadway show, one of which I think looks incredible!!! Enough veiled comments for you? Seriously, if you or anyone you know likes musicals or anything disny the magazine should really be considered. A little random gift for someone is always a good idea!

Well, now that I've done my part for my store sales I'll be bidding you ado!

Kareoke

Or however you spell it.




Not their usual best, but you get the idea! (You sound great together, but I have to say that Singstar really makes you sound crappy when you have to hit the note they say you do at the time they say.)


Next we move on to Megan, you didn't really think you got out of it?




Adrien is a rock star!!! Of course we already knew this . . .


Sorry the view isn't too great, but when your secretly filming it's best to stay back! This is what we did for fun this weekend. We do other things of course, but after eating tons of delectable crepes and watching the latest Dead like me movie, we decided to keep it low key. Thank heavens I have the camera and am not in a video. I know revenge will suck, but hey it will be fun for everyone else!


Fianally in her debut on my blog we have Moira singing he heart out! Well okay looking her heart out.


I have a great picture of Chris and Adriene both dancing or singing or something unnatural, but as promised I am not posting it. You've been through enough torture and I did promise, just know how tempting it was and how funny you look!

Embarassing Moments r-me

So today was church. Normally this wouldn't be very note worthy. I mean church is important, but nothing unusual happens, usually. Anyway the point is that something happened today. There we were, me and Adriene sitting in Sunday school doing our best to pay attention. Suddenly I think to myself gosh my boob really hurts! As I go to rub it as inconspicously as possible I notice how thin the layers of my shirt feel. What on earth? I lift my shirt a little and look down at my chest and suddenly burst out with "I can't believe it!" and "Oh my heck!" As Adriene looks at me I start having a laughing fit and through this try and tell her what is so funny. Turns out that somehow this morning I completely forgot to put on a bra! I had gone through two meetings and walked around church and talked to people completely braless. Luckily Adriene says it wasn't too noticeable if at all. Anyway I just had to share my embraasment with the masses. Hope you enjoy my humiliation.

Crazy little thing called . . .

Someday I will figure this site out. If anyone has any suggestions on how to make my page look better please tell me the idea and then tell me how to do it! I really would appreciate this. I've decided this very minute that I will in fact try harder to update this blog frequently. The reason for the lack of pictures and for the lack of videos is because my camera decided to break. I swear I get a new camera every year on the dot. They offer the one year warranty and I am now convinced it is because they know for a fact that the camera will break on its one year anniversary. Anway, I need to go get it fixed or buy a new one, so it will probably take awhile. The good news is that you get get to read even more from me to make up for the picture abscence. They may say that a picture paints a thousand words, but that's just because they've never read my eloquence. Who needs a picture when you can read my pure poetry?

As for the goings on in my life; we are preparing for Valentine's day and as if to prove her love for me (and her exasperation) my mom helped me clean my room. I am disgraced I know. On the plus side it looks incredible, not a thing on the floor . . . except that peach stain . . . (okay now I have to explain. I had a ripe peach and wasn't going to eat it so I threw it away. The only problem with this is that my cat Jenkins really likes food and he especially likes fruit. So of course one night he decided to tip over the garbage can--he does this frequently--why would I get rid of all that fabulous stuff to play with adn chew on!?. Anyway, he knocks it down and so when in the middle of the dark night I have to go to the little booksellers room (the potty, yeesh make me spell it out), I come back and squish! Can I just tell you how disgusting it is to have a sleep fogged mind and then step on something that is huge and squelches under your foot at 3 in the morining!? (I mention the time because as we all know at 2 or at 4 this occurence wopuld just not be as horrific). So now I have an enormous peach stain on my carpet. As an idea bonus to display to you my stupidity and Jenks' ambition/termacity/obstinancy/annoying-ness/and cutesness, I put the remaining peach ruins into the garbage. Silly me, trash goes into the garbage, I don't know why I didn't think there would be a problem with this. The garbage of course got knocked down again and again--you read right, I did this fiasco more than once or even twice. Finally I had to take the garbage outside-the horror!

Wow, that story lasted a lot longer than I anticipated. So, Valentines. Angela is practically jumping out of her skin in excitement and mom is going on multiple trips everywhere thinking of finding Valentines for her grankids and her kids. As for me, I grin and bear-do you really spell it that way? Bare, bear, beer? It's not that I don't like Valentine's, okay it is. First of all the colors are just garish. Ugh. and shudder for emphasis. Secondly, I have never really celebrated this holiday unless it involved getting mom roses and knowing how dissapointed she was that they were from me and not someone special of the male gender. Don't get me wrong i love getting Mom roses, but it is quite a letdown when you spend that kind of money only to see and know how dissappointed she is. The day is just spent in depression. This Valentines I get to work. Sad but also better than other Valentines after all my good fellow coworker Fanny Price will be there! The downside, we have majorly big bag of conversation hearts at the cash wrap, I don't even like them except for the orange and I can't keep my hands off them! On another plus note the nieces will be over for cookie frosting and the like. V fun, and V exhausting!

Well, now I must go do my mom's hair. Yes this is weird, she cleans my room, and I do her hair everyday. What can we say, there are just certain things you cannot or will not do yourself. As for all of you, have a great Valentine's Day and I will write to you all again when sanity returns.

Things Rarious (Honestly if only you knew your Dickens)

I suppose the time has come for a new post. Well rather the time is past but what's in the past is past. I haven't been up to much lately, hence the no writing thing. I have finished my Jane Austen survey class and got a B+ (darn grammatical points!) which is pretty good all things considered. I am now in a era time period phase and so I have been reading and watching Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South and Wives and Daughters. I think I should have attempted Compton, the plot is no fun but the book is rather small, not like the encyclopedic novel Wives and Daughters. Oh well. I actually have enjoyed North and South more. I'm so sick of novels where the guy never sees the girl, is an utter fool for someone else, and then the main girl's so greatful for his finally noticing her that it's oh yes I'll marry you! I had the same trouble with Edmund in Northanger Abbey. I just don't believe your affection can be so strong for someone else (or their pretty face) and then the next minute now that your dissapointed in the relationship your best friend who's been there all along is truly the love of your life! Aha! All those other feelings well . . . must have been indigestion!

Anyhow, enough ranting! I really want to start a reading group, but I can't seem to interest anyone. I know that people are busy, but still, you find time for your passion. I guess I just need to find people who have a passion for reading who aren't already in a thousand book groups. Yeah right.

Nothing else more to report. Work goes on as usual and I need to find a different job with better hours pay, and less standing and bending. My knee has now decided that it will feel broken even when it is not and the more agony it gives its keeper the better.

Oh I am newly addicted to Pokemon Diamond for my DS. Thanks Adie. Speaking of I really want to go play it so this will be all for now.
