Christmas 2010

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Day 18 & 19

So for these lasts posts I am kind of all Christmas-blogged-out but I guess I will have to finish! My favorite Christmas meal doesn't really exist, just as long as I am getting fed I am pretty happy. I made candies and treats this year for the first time, they didn't really turn out that great but it's the thought that counts right? And as far as a service project I have done...I donated food to the food pantry and gave my change to the people outside of Walmart...

Merry Christmas Eve everyone! Visit home = so far so good.

I wish I lived alone

I am soooo angry right now. My roommate works a night shift so she comes home at 7am and starts blasting music and talking loudly because to her, it's a normal time of the day. Well let me tell you something sweetheart, ITS NOT. You work a night, when the majority of people are sleeping, this means that you do not get to come home and prance around as loud as you want. Seriously? Who in their right mind would think this is okay? Why don't you , and your home boys you decided to bring home, go somewhere else for 4 more hours so the rest of this normal apartment can get some sleep.

Day 17- Red V. Green

Well anyone who knows me knows I don't like red....I don't know why, I just don't. I never wear red, I don't own anything that is red, it is just not my color. HOWEVER. During Christmas time, I am all for red ( I have to be festive after all). So during the month of December, Red is just as great as Green. 


p.s. I can't wait to get home! Only today and tomorrow and then I will be in the 801 until next Wednesday. I am getting so excited. I can't wait to see all the people I haven't seen in WAY  too long, and spend some quality time with my family.


p.p.s. I feel like Martha Stewart (before the whole doing time thing). I have been cooking, cleaning, and CRAFTING this week. It's weird....it must be all the holiday spirit that has gotten into me. Either way, I have had yummy meals, a clean house, and sore wrists from my projects. I may just become a useful homemaker yet. 


p.p.p.s. When I am home this coming week I have a few goals to accomplish.
1. Find a wedding dress
2. Book the temple (check!)
3. Figure out photography situation and book dates to take engagements and bridals
4. Get most of the other little things figured out, divy out tasks to my willing mother and sisters :)


I would love to have a higher neckline, preferably lace, but I think these are so pretty. ( and yes, obviously anything will be altered to be "appropriate")

 I like the left side dress, a collar like that, but with sleeves

 In a perfect world I would get a shorter dress. I think they are beautiful but I feel like I wouldn't be able to find one that was "bridal" enough, I don't want to look like I am going to Prom. This is my dream though, so maybe I'll be able to find one?

Day 15 & 16 Ornaments and Scrooge

My favorite ornament on the Christmas tree is the one that is shaped like an egg, and on the inside there are penguin ice skating. It is my ornament I have had ever since I can remember and so of course that one would probably be my favorite.

Probably my least favorite thing about Christmas are the people who hate Christmas. Just because you are bitter about it, doesn't mean you have to share the hate. Christmas is a happy time of year for a lot of people, a time of year when families get together, sometimes that is the only chance they get.  So instead of whining about how much you hate people who love Christmas, how about you go out and buy yourself something nice, and start to enjoy the holidays :)

P.S.

I got rockin' grades this semester

- insert swear words here -

 &$%#@*&%$&#&@ $*&#(*

That is how I feel right now. Today was one of those days that makes this blog so much fun to read. I have so much to say...where to begin?


Well the first, and probably the only thing I will say about work today is that I hate children. Yes that means your children too if you have them. This hate will probably leave me eventually but as of right now, I hate children. I hate how they move their heads THE ENTIRE HAIR CUT. Making it IMPOSSIBLE to do my job. I dont think mothers understand how hard it is to cut their daughters hair straight when they keep moving. If your child moves in the middle of me cutting her hair, yes it is going to be uneven. No I am not going to feel bad about it.


It was attack of the children today at work and by 3:45 I had about had it. I had to step away from a child's head and take deep breaths before I did something I was going to regret...like chop a huge chunk off and blame it on her squirmy head. I know younger kids have short attention spans but COME ON PEOPLE this was ridiculous. If you have children, please set them on a chair for 10 min. and make them hold still. practice over and over again before you take them to get their hair cut because a simple 10 min hair cut turns into25 painful minutes for the both of us if your child keeps moving. 

I have officially decided work is the best birth control out there. Have a little #$%& in your seat for 10 minutes and you will never want to reproduce. It was a good thing my shift was over for the sake of every child out there because at the end of work today, I could have punched a baby and not felt bad about it.


Another thing. Dont freak out in the middle of me washing your hair and ask what time it is. If you had somewhere to be anytime soon, you should tell me that before I even start cutting your hair, not when I am elbow deep in shampoo taking care of your nasty scalp. It is not my problem you have half an hour to get home and still havent done your grocery shopping. Trust me, if I could just kick you out with a sopping wet head of hair I would, but I cant so shut up, lean back, and let me rinse you out. 

Dear van I had to follow all the way home: THE SPEED LIMIT IS NOT 15 MILES PER HOUR. STEP ON THE GAS OLD MAN, I PROMISE YOU WILL NOT DIE... unless you don't hurry up and then I might just run you off the road for my own sanity. Seriously people. It is only snow! There is no need to go that slow....ever. ever ever ever. 


The rest of the night should be better though...besides the fact that I have to make 235 cookies tonight....NBD.


Update:


I went to Texas Roadhouse tonight with the girls I work with and it inspired me to update this i-hate-today blog.


#1. When I call in and say there will be 7 people eating, I mean 7. No we do not want to squish into a booth because of your bad planning. Your bad, not mine.


#1-A. To the lady with a poof 2 feet tall: You, your husband, and your baby do not need an extra table. We clearly needed that table and you felt the need to keep it for yourself. I know your hair is big, but I feel like even it's own table is a little much...


#2. Dear Waiter: I hate you and I hope you choke on some peanuts tonight. I am sorry that I was able to drink my half filled Dr. Pepper in the time it took you to go get us some more rolls. Maybe if you didn't take 20 minutes it wouldn't seem like I was drinking so much. Also, it is your job to refill my drinks. I am sorry that your job sucks but you chose it so shut up and do your job. While you are at it, try not to act butt hurt when we ask you to take some plates away from our crowed table that you assigned 7 people to when it usually sits 4.  Once again, it is your JOB to remove plates from my table. I don't know what you were expected to do tonight when you came to work but I am pretty sure we weren't being that difficult.


#3. Texas Roadhouse is a loud place. We all know this. However, that doesn't give you the right to be an ass. If you don't respond to a comment, we are going to assume you didn't hear it. We will then repeat our request, after this repeat, do not snap back that you heard us. Just shut up, and get our rolls.


Texas Roadhouse is blacklisted until further notice. (Along with Pizza Hut and McDonalds)


On a happy note, I got a COOKIE SCOOPER from my coworker. Yay.
