Its Been A Historic Weekend

The royal wedding was on friday. 
I thought i'd get up and watch it but who i am kidding?
I would've had to get up at two so instead i just watched the reruns on the day.


i loved her dress! So elegant!
 Reason #233456 i want to move to london..
they wear the sweetest hats!
 and now this lovely man is the worlds most eligable bachelor.
i call first dibs!
 second historical event was Osama Bin Laden, the man responsible for killing 3,000 people on 9/11/01 has been captured and killed.
News broke late sunday night and we were shocked, happy, scared, and everything in between
thousands were at the white house celebrating holding flags and signs.
now we will just wait to see if terrorists will rebel and do more attacks or lay back and realize what they're doing is wrong. (Most likely not)
it will sure be an interesting time the next few years. 
 i just hope President Obama doesn't take all the credit for this.
it should be given all to bush.
without him, we wouldn't even be in Pakistan looking for Bin Laden.
And when obama was running for his election, he told everyone that we shouldn't even be over seas and he wants our troops home.
his term is almost up and the troops have still yet to come home like he wanted. good thing or else we never would've caught this man.

For Real?

I just had a fun trip to arizona!
 i wrote on my blog that everyone reads about it.
(no one knows about this one or else i wouldn't be so mean and open)
at the end i said thanks to everyone and put their names (big mistake)
and i forgot my dad.
but what did he really do? all he payed for was my lunch at some mexican resturant and let me sleep on the bed that folded out of the couch. 
everyone else was doing things with me and i never thanked them personally.
anywho, i posted the post this morning and i just got a text from my dad saying, 
"hey i just read your blog, i guess your not thankful for what we do for you. oh well"
seriously dad? how old are you? 9?
there were probably 10 times over the year i could've sent this to you.
UGH HE MAKES ME SO FRUSTRATED!!!!
i already personally thanked him when i said goodbye to him in arizona and now you expect me to do it publicly? 
yeah i should've put his name on the list but everyone reads it. 
mostly my moms family in arizona and thats the reason i usually try to keep him out of it. 
they hate him with a burning passion for what he did to my family.
plus i don't want to bring up the whore(my step mom)
because i don't like her. 
she doesn't deserve to be noticed.
she's a homewrecker.
usually i wouldn't worry about this.
i would just brush it off and say whatever dad
but in arizona he said he would pay for my housing which i really need. 
if i can't get my housing paid for i can't go to school.
now he will probably say no i'm not paying shit because you're too ungrateful.
whatever pops.
youre the ungrateful one.
i was you're only daughter who talked to you after everything happened.
i'm the only one that texted you words of comfort after we found out.
i'm the only one who brings you my left over shrimp that you love.
i'm the only one that sticks up for you when mom is saying things about you. 
i'm the only one who texts you frequently to see how you are doing.
i'm the only one who accepted celeste when everyone shut her out.
even i wanted to shut her out.
and i regret every day that i didn't.
i regret not screaming at you from the beginning when i knew something was going on
i regret not screaming at you when you tried to get mom back when we knew what you've done.
i've regret screaming at you for marrying the bitch when i wish you hadn't.
all you care about is yourself.
for the past ten years that is all you've cared about.
if it wasn't yourself, it was celeste.
don't you think its sad i have only one memory of you not texting, emailing, or being on your laptop talking to her.
that only memory is our trip to hawaii when i was in third grade.
who knew only 6 months later this hell hole would begin. 
i'm sick of you blaming me that  i never talk to you or see you or come by your house.
you're the one that made it that way.
stop being such a selfish ass and grow up dad.
i'm sick of this.
i'm glad mom didn't take you back.
she deserves better. 
and she has gotten better.
don't you think its sad that darren, the guy she's dating, is more interested in my life and what i'm doing and where i'm going in life than you?
grow up dad. 
to be honest, the only reason i talk to you is because i know i'll need stuff from you.
like housing paid for.
or my car fixed.
if i had money and didn't need you for that,
i'd probably never talk to you.
hell, after college and i have my career, 
i most likely will hardly ever talk to you.
so ef you and the horse you rode in on

Pet Peeve

although its not number one on my list.

does it matter?

Detective Short Girl

I forgot to tell you when i was detective for a day. 
We hired a new girl at work.
being the curious person i am, 
i wondered what she looked like?
so i did what any normal person would do and googled her.
i was expecting a facebook page or a myspace page or something along those lines to pop up.
but what did pop up?
websites and news articles saying she was an endangered runaway!
a missing person!
i had no idea if this was her.
i thought, maybe they just have the same name.
i text my boss and said hey check this out. 
is this her?
and sure enough it was.
i had just solved a missing persons case.
or so i thought.
we called the missing  persons hotline and she was off the list.
even though the case had already been solved,
i still consider myself a detective.

so lesson of the day:
google everyone you know and see what comes up :)

Daylight Savings

Thanks to benjamin franklin, 
we have this wonderful thing called Day light savings.
its really not that wonderful.
89% of what i just said was sarcasm.
its throwing me off so bad.
it is 6:41 as i am writing this and the sun is still in the sky.
hasn't even begin to set.
it feels like its 5:00 and i have another 2 hours of working when really i'm off in 19 minutes.
now 18.
Dear Utah people,
can we please get rid of daylight savings and just be normal?
with much thanks,
The Short Girl

Sister Night!

On the 12th,
it was my oldest sister brittany's birthday.
she turned 24! i still think of her as 18.
her husband was in vegas as he is every year watching the college basketball games.
so me and my sister took  her out to dinner at California Pizza Kitchen.
It was delicious!
i payed for myself which is the first time ever.
(i'm one of the youngest so usually someone pays for me)
i even used my debit card.
i felt so adult.
I had a delcious  garlic cream pasta.
cost me a whoppin $17.
but it was dang good.
we then went home and sat on our laptops while we watched the princess and the frog on brittanys bed where we all fell asleep.
true sister love.

In honor of her birthday i'll write a little snip it of her.
She is my favorite sister.
(i know we aren't suppose to have favorites but i do)
she is so kind to everyone. 
she is always there for her friends and family.
she is always wanting to know whats going on with us and loves to be close with us.
i love and her and her husband buddy live with us.
its so much fun!
without her living with us,
i'd have no clothes.
i hate  shopping and she loves it.
so when she gets new clothes,
that means i get new clothes.
i know she gets annoyed of me wearing them but she's so nice and kind that she lets me to continue borrowing them.
once she moves out i'm screwed with clothing.
i'll really have to go shopping then.

p.s. i have the best family!

What was i thinking?

One day i felt generous.
Very generous!
My boss at work is dead broke.
him and his wife never go out because they can't pay for a babysitter.
so one day at work i said "hey, i need some hours to get a thing for Personal Progress(which i already have completed). if you need a free babysitter let me know."
oh he has let me know.
every weekend i have babysat.
twice this week.
and now i'm thinking why did i do this?
so instead of going out and having a good time with friends,
i am changing poopy diapers, listening to kids fight over the x box, and trying to get the baby to stop crying.
oh joy!

Mummies

Today in seminary,
us as a council put together a temple day to teach everyone about temples.
You would think the main thing i got out of it would be about temples,right?
You are wrong.
The thing i took with me this lesson was about mummies.
Did you know, the church bought 4 mummies in the 1830's?
i sure didn't and i think its pretty sweet.
Thats the furthest thing i would ever imagine the church buying. 
i did some research and i found this story here.
its says...
In the late 1820s an Italian explorer named Antonio Lebolo obtained eleven mummies from an ancient tomb in Egypt. When Lebolo died the mummies were shipped to the United States. A man named Michael Chandler came into possession of the mummies in 1833. He opened the coffins (the boxes the mummies were in) and was disappointed not to find jewels or valuable treasures. Attached to some of the bodies of the mummies were linen cloths containing rolls of papyrus, a type of paper made from plants. These papyrus rolls had Egyptian writing on them. Mr. Chandler took the rolls to Pennsylvania, where he tried to find some educated men to tell him about the writings, but even the most educated of these men were only able to understand a little of the writings.
Mr. Chandler decided to travel around the country showing people the mummies, and in the summer of 1835 he came to Kirtland, Ohio. There he met with Joseph Smith, who told him that the writings could be interpreted. Later some friends of the Prophet bought four mummies and the rolls of papyrus from Mr. Chandler. Joseph Smith studied the letters and grammar of the Egyptian language, and then, with the help of the Holy Ghost, he translated the writings on the papyrus rolls. The writings Joseph Smith translated tell about the ancient prophet Abraham and are now published as the book of Abraham in the Pearl of Great Price.

Pretty sweet huh?
now my only question is
where are they?
did we throw them away?
lock them up?
bury them back east?
took them over the plains in a wagon and locked them up in the vault in the mountain?
how creepy would that be?
making the trek with four mummies?

Accents aren't always hott

About two weeks ago,
a really cute boy came into my work.
He asked for my number
He had an accent (SCORE!)
He was a real gentleman.
Never text me to ask me on a date, always called.
He came with me and my cousins i was watching to nickelcade and we had a really good time.
I wasn't quite sure about him so on our next date,
we doubled with my friends codee and cole.
We went to Outback steak house and saw the movie just go with it.
So far things were going great,
until we were at dinner talking about races and he openly admit he's a racist and can't stand black people.
This bothered me because for me,
color doesn't mean a thing.
Thats how i was raised.
dinner was alright.
He talked about himself the WHOLE time
and when he wasn't talking about himself he was dissing on my country.
I was also raised in a very patriotic family.
so dissing on this country makes me very mad.
even if our president is dumb.
And this part, was the most ridiculous.
during the movie girls would be in bikinis.
he would prr, like a cat, very loudly, at the movie screen.
and he had an obnoxious laugh.
lets just say i was so glad that date was done!
and i haven't talked to him since

Man's Law

I learned something in photography today.
apparently there's "MAN LAW"
i drew pictures to help haha same ones the teacher, Mr. Bowers, drew.
if you walk in a bathroom and theres three urinals, and one is already being used, where do you go?
but what happens when another man walks in? is he going to use the middle one?
nope.
he uses a stall instead.
do you talk to each other?
nope.
you are there on strictly business.
unlike girls.
we go to the bathroom together, get the stall next to each other, and talk most of the time.
but thats not how its suppose to go on mans law.
learn something new everyday!

old people :)


i love old people!
can you see why?
they're just hilarious!
they're young at heart but not in the skin.
i have very memoral, hilarious moments with my grandparents.

Story #1: i'm at my grandma's house on thanksgiving eve. she had started to make the pies. she grabbed her mixing bowl and ingrediants. one including eggs. she cracked one egg into the bowl, and tossed the shell into the sink. My grandpa had called her away to ask her a question. she went away, and no more than a minute later came back. she looked around her cooking space with a questionable look on her face. she finally said "where'd that egg go? she shell is in the sink but i didn't crack it." everyone around started bursting into laughter telling her "nannie, you already cracked it." She went on for about 5 minutes denying it until we showed her the egg in the bowl. she said "oh" and returned as if nothing happen. We still don't let her live that down till this day.

Story #2: every month my grandma mary throws a dinner to celebrate the birthday that month. her house isn't that big to fit all 20+ of us so its pretty crammed. She had to get through a tiny isle to get to the other side to serve the food, as she's walking down, with the tray above her head so she could fit, a little noise came out of her bum. she farted right in my sisters face. all she said was "Oh excuse me!" sounding shocked. haha

Story #3: This one is probably my favorite. We're at my great grandma's assited living center visiting her. my parents divorce had been final for about 2 months now and my mom thought she should probably tell her grandma about it. the first conversation was how my grandma was saying she keeps seeing these little kids around her apartment. apparently one was sitting right next to me as i was talking to her. creepy huh?and my mom finally said "Grandma, me and brett are getting a divorce. he had an affair." She was shocked and just kept shaking her head most of the night. we get home and started talking about the kids she was seeing. not really believing it and think she was hallucinating. a week later we got a call from my grandpa saying he had a story for us. His brother, steven, was visiting my great grandma and she started telling him about the kids and how my mom and dad were getting divorced and why. steven called my grandpa and said, "what's sauna's number? i need to call and apologize to her. mother is going crazy and saying she's seeing angels and spreading rumors that brett cheated on her. my grandpa started laughing and saying its true. so maybe there really are kid ghosts and she's not making it up?

Story #4: also from my great grandma again. we were on our weekly visit, talking to her, when she got dead serious and said "we have a problem. there's bastards in our family" me and my mom both look at each other trying our hardest not to laugh as my grandma went on about how one of my cousins has 2 kids out of wedlock with her boyfriend.

So to all you old folks out there, especially my grandparents, thanks for being great comedians!

How deaf people drive :)

Pretty pretty please!

Today i was informed of a potential job offer.
a nanny!
in a city 30 minutes out of manhatten!
i've always wanted to do this!
it'd be a little girl most of the day and then two boys when they're out of school.
2K a month for a year which would be just enough for school!
i'd live in the basement and be off by 7 and have the rest of the night to myself.
PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE let me get this job!

College in high school ♥

i love it!
 you know that phrase we always hear?
killed two birds with one stone?
thats totally how school is when i take college classes.
i only have to pay for the book. i save about $200.
and most times i don't have to buy the  book because my sisters or someone i know has it and lets me borrow it.
i have taken
Psychology AP,
CIS 1020,
Math 1010
and am currently taking
U.S. History AP,
Art 1020,
and now Math 1050 because..
I PASSED MY MATH 1010 FINAL!
it was an utter miracle.
you had to get a 70% or higher to advance to 1050.
i seriously thought i got a 60% or something.
you could only miss 9/30 questions.
because of this miracle,
i now do not have to take math in college if i pass 1050.
WOO WOO!!

Oh how i love my job...

i work at an overly priced dry cleaners.
people come, drop their things off,

its always, "that much?! Wow.."
and once i take their cash/card and they think i can't hear they say..
"that much for a jacket? you gotta be flippin kidding me"
and then drive off grumpy.
oh how i love my job!

What to do, what to do ♥

The past month i've been really thinking about going on a mission.
its pretty far away
about 4 years almost
but it won't get out of my mind.
i went on lds.org to look up talks on missions.
instead i found a site for youth of the church.
a tab said, talks for youth.
instead of looking for a talk on missions,
i decided to check out the youth site.
what was the first talk about?
missions!
i've never been one to want to go on one.
i always thought they were for nerds and i would rather get a start on life and have a family.
now i'm not so sure.

Mindy Gledhill ♥

I love her music!
its smooth and relaxing.
my favorite is all the pennies.
we really do crazy things for love.
we become more happy gentle and kind.
i would totally live in a little apartment without a bathroom door to be with the man i love.

lyrics...
Leaky faucet, creaky floor

We don’t even own a bathroom door

The sofa set is nothing to be jealous of

We don’t have a lot but there’s no shortage here for love

All the pennies in the wishing wells

All the diamonds Tiffany’s could sell

All the riches put together

All the sunny California weather

Could not make me love you any better

You could give me all that I request

If you fancy, darling be my guest

But I’ll take less if more means having less of you

Who needs sequin shoes or private jets to Katmandu

Chorus
I don’t need your money

Just your kisses and your funny faces

Which I miss when you’re away

I cry into my pillow

Stay up late until you bring me takeout

We make conversation all about

Chorus

time to change ♥


Lately I've noticed i waste a lot of time.

I'm either on the computer, watching tv, or doing something else that will lead me no where.

That is all going to change starting tomorrow.

everyday i will be getting up at 5:30 and work out.

i will start to eat healthier.

i will say something nice to people i talk to that day.

i will let everyone i love know it by saying it to them, or doing them service.
