To my dearest, dearest blogger:
I still love you with all of my heart, even if I have been neglecting you shamelessly for my new obsession: Facebook.
So, here we are in the beautiful state of Utah, and I do have to say, it is incredibly beautiful here in the mountains. There is still snow, and so they are extremely picturesque. We have been having a great time, just the three of us, and the only person who has been having minor meltdowns is me. Denise and Ashley may be regretting the decision to live with me and take me on this trip. I promise I will be better, ladies!!
Today we went shopping (oh, new clothes and shoes!!) and then saw the new Joseph Smith movie which was moving and emotionally gripping. We also walked around Temple Square and just enjoyed the spirit there. We have tickets for tomorrow and Sunday, and we are excited to spend more time there. Remember how we ended up staying around for the Priesthood session and were witness to a veritable sea of men?

"Welcome Back, Lady"
Hooray, I have bangs now!! Ones that do not fall into my eyes, but may or may not be flattering on me. The jury is still out.
Rant:
So yesterday I offended not one, but two customers about "The Secret". Both of them asked me if I had seen it and I said "No". Then they both asked if I was planning on seeing it, and when I said "no", the first customer asked me if that was because of all the hype. I said that my life was actually pretty happy right now. She seemed really offended that I thought her life was an absolute mess and that is why she needed "The Secret". The second lady also asked me why I wouldn't see it, and when I said, again, that my life was pretty great, she got realy huffy and didn't speak the whole time I was packing up her stuff. Then, at the end, she told me that "The Secret" would still be beneficial to me. I believe I actually said "We'll see". This lady was not happy.
Why do these people force me to justify why I won't follow their crazy little cult? Am I a bad person because I won't bow down to the great Oprah? I'm sorry I offended them with my opinion, but I can't help it if they're feeling embarassed that they are feeding in to all the hype. It would serve these people right if I just threw a Book of Mormon at them and yelled "Why won't you join my religion? Why? Why?" I actually think the best come-back to "Why won't you read it" would be: "I don't subscribe to the church of Oprah, I already have my own religion, thank-you!!"
O.k., enough ranting. I think I am letting "The Secret" control my life just a little too much, which is what I know it "secretly" wants.
Fact: I may or may not have been asked on a date today. I'm not really sure if that is what happened. Since it has been 5 years since I have been physically asked on a date, I am a little rusty at knowing how that all works. Did I imagine it? Was it a date or just a ride home? Are we just friends? Is he just doing it to get close to one of my roommates? The answers to all of these questions factor heavily in funny/tragic anecdotes of my life, so, once again, I don't really know.
Why I wish I was married #3: What has two thumbs and is completely dating-retarded? THIS GIRL!!!
Why I'm glad I'm still single:
?

"Where is my dignity? Where is it?"
I apparently enjoy being bludgeoned with his indifference.
Ohhh....
So last night I was sitting at the computer, trying not to be crazy, minding my own business, when I felt myself being taken over by the INTERNET NINJA. Yes, that dastardly demon possessd me and sent me to "the Google", where I may or may not have found a certain hot/cold friend's blog. The pictures were semi-delightful and the writing absolutely adorable (why, oh why are they always better on paper?). Suddenly I was emailing him and once again saying "Let's get together, yeah, yeah, yeah!" As soon as I pressed the "Send" button, I felt the remorse building up inside of me and I was suddenly on the kitchen floor cursing the heavens with every loonie I have banked up in the swear jar. Praise all that is holy, he answered me back within the night, and wants to do something next week.
Now, as 75% of my devoted readers know, this person is only a friend. However, he is all about the "Let's hang out" and the "Can I get your phone number" and then nothing for months. Don't tell me we need to get together if you're never going to call. Jess, I know, I know, I am crazy and even though you think I should be strong, I am weak like unto a feather pillow.
Off to work today where I will probably be lynched for not attending the first "Harry Potter" planning meeting last night. Sister McMahon may have killed me for not being at the Stake choir practise, and I really do fear her wrath above my boss's. But hopefully, for whatever reason , I will not be at Chapters on July 21st anyway. So.
Good Luck to everyone at the Oscars tonight (or as I like to call them, "The Vicky's) Oh, and by the way, I do know who the winners are, but I will not be seeing any of you before they are over... Ha Ha Ha!!!.....

Yesterday was the Temple Conference and I had a great time. It had been awhile since I had been to a session, and it really gave me a chance to clear my mind, feel the spirit, and think about some things. Like the Internship. It's probably just a shot in the dark, but if I did get it I would go. There comes a time when you have to stop being scared of possibilities and face some new adventures. Toronto would be absolutely amazing, if only for the music. Concerts, choirs, culture... However, this would be a great opportunity to make some contacts and work hard. I should probaly stop talking about it though, as there are probably a ton of applicants.
Only4 more days until we go to Utah!!! It's basically all we talk about here (except, of course, for the craziness of boys. I am really too old for this stuff and should probably start looking for a nice widower with 4 kids. - "the future freaks me out"!) I can't wait for nice weather, rental cars, road trip sandwiches, trying to get citrus fruits over the border, Pres. Hinckley, a weekend free of distractions, shopping, more Priesthood than you could ever want on a Saturday night, great music, the Tabernacle choir, and of course, a weekend with just my ladies.
Four. More. Days.
p.s. You need to do it if only for your own sanity! Remember, the word will not be spoken once in Utah. Not Once.

Your mom bought me this t-shirt...
Who was the guy at choir with the funny orange t-shirt? He was so cute. So. Cute. I'm sure glad I tarted it up so I looked hot while "guest conducting".
Why are we so crazy? Is it "The Secret"? Is it "Spring Fever"? O.k., I am not that crazy right now but everyone else is and somehow I get dragged along for the ride. Maybe getting out of town will be good for everyone. I hope to meet someone on Temple Square and get engaged the same day. That's right... kickin' it Utah style!! Yeah.
So, I am starting two new segments in this blog o' mine.
Reasons I wish I was married
Reasons why I'm glad to still be single
Reasons I wish I was married:
1. A movie date forever and all eternity. Sigh. If I was married I could just say "Hey, let's go to the movies", and I would always have someone to go with and talk about it after.
2. Someone to cook with. I want to be like Adam and Jess and make great food together.
Reasons I am glad I'm still single:
1. Ben Schultz. staring at me in Sunday school. At least I'm not dating crazy people.
2. Awesome trips to Utah with the ladies. Can. Not. Wait.
Anyway, I need go to bed so I can look my finest for work tomorrow, so I will think of more reasons in the weeks to come. If you have any others for me, please let me know. Yay.

Remember how I'm at home?
It's unbelievable. I can't believe it. It's unbelievable...
So, I am actually blogging from the comfort of my home on Denise's awesome computer.
We Have the Internet!!
I am pretty excited to do this for the following reasons:
1. No customers to annoy me and interrupt me.
2. The keyboards at work are actually smaller (even the keys themselves), and so I am typing with veritable ease right now. (Oh, how I don't miss my tiny keyboard...)
3. No one is going to "write me up" if they see me on the internet here. Yes, that's part of the new regime up at cash. Our new rules up there also include no leaning (on penalty of death), no throwing rolled up balls of tape against the window (just how bored were you, Stephen?) no chatting/flirting for more than 30 seconds at a time (I foresee many problems with this one for me - remember that I'm sick?)
So, yeah. Expect the blogs to come thick and fast again. Or at least more than once a week.
Ciao! (or Chao, whichever you prefer...)

Friday morning is alright for flirting
Friday, Hey!!
Denise has been a blogging machine lately and I really feel like I'm falling down on the job. So, if I am able to ignore customers, or at least tell them to come back later, I will update.
Tomorrow is the March 17th party, and thank heavens for my wonderful, wonderful presidency who I can rely on so much. They really pick up the slack where others let it drop, and I am so grateful to them. I love you girls. I know none of you read this, but I'm sure that through the power of "The Secret" they will be able to feel the posotive thoughts I am visualizing their way.
I have a new phone and it is awesome. I have yet to figure out how to add punctation to my texts, and so if you receive said communication from me, please add the appropriate commas, colons, and what have you. Thanks for the patience. Soom I will lock myself out of the house again and therefore have an hour to figure out my menu like I did with my last phone.
Just thought of a name for my phone: L'il Rings.
Awesome!!!

Just go with it, he's hot!
So, a few words about last night.
Hottest. Bond. Ever.
Oh, my barfing hobos. Daniel Craig is absolutely stunning as James Bond. I don't even like James Bond movies, and didn't even really enjoy this one. (Seriously, stop running and fighting and just smoulder for awhile in your navy polo..."as I drift off to my happy place, where i can see your face and not...") However, my dislike of action movies aside, D.C. is beyond hot in this movie. Every time he did something that required me to suspend reality, (I mean, the last time I recussitated myself in my car...) Ashley would say "No way, that would never happen!" and I would say "Of course not, it's retarded...he's hot. Oh, how he was.
Well, since I have to do this at work now, I have to go back to the kid's section where there is no internet. Sigh. However, there is Manga...

remember how it's March...
and where the heck have I been?
First: I am absolutely starving at this very moment. I did not eat breakfast, and I wasted precious energy walking to work today. (That in itself was not a bad thing, I love walking; however, if I could have foreseen my stomach starting to eat itself, I may have thought differently about my transportation situation)
Anyone who has seen me hungry (the fear, the rage, the pure inability to make any sort of rational decsion, the tears and recriminations, etc) will know that I am probably going to be a hazard to customers and co-workers alike... "Lay off me, I'm starving!!"
Anyway, not a lot new. We have tickets to Conference for Sunday afternoon and we are pretty darn excited. I am just looking forward to rollin'with my ho's in a smokin' awesome ride. (Remember how sad I am?)
Oops, I gotta go home in about 10 minutes. Talk to you soon, I hope!
