A GREAT Job

So...
I got a great job, at Great Harvest, get it?
Right, so I work at 5:30 in the AM (Who would have guessed?!) And I love it!!! I'm not the biggest fan of going to bed early, but I am really liking getting up early and moving. I have to work a cash register but I also get to frost cookies and cinnamon rolls and put the drizzle on all the sweet treats!



I wear my American flag bandanna and get to make the frosting in a giant mixer! Its real fun.

So this cookie (the one in the picture) is significant because I made that frosting all by myself! I made it purple, but while I was making it the color was getting really faded, I thought it looked Grey. So, I kept asking one of my co-workers "Does this look Grey?" He kept replying really weird, a really enthusiastic, "yeah!."
I didn't want grey, duh, so I kept adding color and asking him, "This looks grey, doesn't it?"
And he kept being really enthusiastic, "yeah!"

So finally, I realize. He thinks I'm asking him if the frosting looks "GREAT"

no... I'm not that conceited.

It actally looks a little grey in this picture... I promise its purple!

23! It's an age

Its my age. And there's nothing like a spring birthday to bring everyone together for a picnic party in the park.



We ate cake ad laid on blankets, and mother nature didn't act up one bit.




There was plenty to do at the park all morning!

We played bocce ball




I was pampered...



And we fed the ducks (look at all those gulls)

Owl city

Although it is snowing
I am a child of the spring
And with my tax return
I will buy
My freedom

Party!

I threw a birthday party for my friend Damien.



This is my friend Damien, I met him when I was twelve. At a carnival. We ran wild terrorizing carnies (in an innocent 12 year old way) and slid down a giant slide in potato sacks. And now we do pretty much the same thing here in Salt Lake...






We had his party outside in the snow. We ate curry out of chinese takeout boxes. drank Martineli's and made toasts. Then we played party games. Each guest had a party bag with treats and supplies to play the party games. We played outside until our feets were frozen, then we went inside and played some more.



And ate cupcakes!

and took pictures!

Happy Birthday Dame!!

locked my keys in the car

while it was running this morning... it was running.
I turned it on to heat-up(because it was 5 degrees outside)and the door I had left open got pushed closed while I chipped ice off the windows.Mostly I could just laugh and laugh while I waited for AAA.

I was late for work already so i treated myself to some donuts before I drove to work at 20 MPH (incase you aren't here theres a blizzard going off)




Also going off, The Eddie.
Been watching it online all day.
Heres to better I MEAN less snow-filled days




p.s. I don't hate Utah. Sometimes you just think "Why am I in the middle of a blizzard when people are on a beach somewhere else??!?"

Scat Cat

this ones for you EJJ

got me a cat

His name is charles. Charles in charge...


Charlie



Cha-ullllls when he's being particularly finicky.

He snuggles me and pounces my face in the morning and is getting fat already!

Work is fun!

For work we all dressed up and had a potluck!
Thats right, I work for the man 40 hours a week! surprisingly grown up, no?
This isn't my full costume... but i get up too early to really go all out for today. Tomorrow= a different story.

County Fair

Went to the fair and it was so fun!



Saw this prize pig.



And the smallest horse in the world!! I asked the midget that was holding it to set it down in its shoe box so I could take this picture...



this was a pie-eating contest. duh
We also Boys To Men for free!
Rode the Barf-go -round (you know the anti-gravity thing)
Ate great fair food. My favorite!!
Any opportunity to wear my cowboy boots is a good thing.

the saucy little red-head

TEN PRETTY GIRLS

There were ten pretty girls at the village school.
Picture ten pretty girls at the village school!
They were sweet, small and tall
And the boy loved them all
But you can't marry ten pretty girls.

There were ten pretty girls and let me tell you this:
That the boy's biggest thrill was to steal a kiss
Playing 'kiss-in-a-ring'
But it don't mean a thing
'Cos you can't marry ten pretty girls

Now, five were blondes and four brunettes
And one was a saucy little red-head.
The girls grew up and the boy left school
And at twenty-one he wedded the saucy little red-head.

Now there's one pretty girl from the village school
And 'twas she took the boy from the village school.
Kissing girls may be fine
But you've left over nine
'Cos you can't marry ten pretty girls.

GrannyBird sang me this song when she saw that my hair had gotten redder

swine flu

I hate the swine flu

It's 100% blown out of proportion...
did you know that more people have died of the real flu this year than of swine flu?
not hard... only ONE person has died of swine flu compared to the 13,000 that died of the real flu...

Also, two people are killed every year by VENDING MACHINES!!

vending machines, 200% more deadly than the swine flu.

I'm just a little upset... I had a great trip to Havasupi planned and it was completely ruined. this picture only sort of makes up for it...
