Party City 2


I got to wear a costume today! I was wearing this over my Party City Uniform for almost 7 hours and at the registers infront of those big windows, it gets ridiculously hot. The death heat, and a nasty stomach ache were making for an unpleasant day at work when suddenly, these little girls come to my register, carrying the two cutest puppies in the world. Instant happiness. So all together, today was a great day.

Waiting Anxiously

Tonight, I decided I would pull a prank on my sister Krista. I am quite excited to see the results. I think she'll be a little angry, but she'll know deep down that it is infact, hysterical.
So I created this masterpiece and printed it out 6 times with the words in bold red letters "Edward is Mine." directly below it. I then proceeded to tape each marvelous sheet to the insides of her books, folders, and notebooks. I'm not sure what to expect, but I can't wait for school tomorrow. Look what you can accomplish when you don't sleep.

If Making Me Smile was an Olympic Event, You'd be Michael Phelps


Last weekend I was able to attend General Conference with a very nice young man named Dexter Powers. Some of you may have heard of him, yeah if you're reading this you almost certainly have. But anyway, I flew out to Salt Lake last Friday where my aunt picked me up from the airport. He drove down from BYU Idaho and met up with me at my aunt's house, where we stayed for the weekend. It was a ridiculously fun time. He did hit me in the face with a birdie playing badminton, but I'm almost over it now so it's ok. We were able to attend his two mission reunions which were very interesting. I enjoyed watching him interact with his mission buddies and presidents and whoever else. I was very impressed. The next day we went to the Saturday morning session and it was AMAZING. I felt like a lot of the messages were prepared just for me. I absolutely loved it. We spent a lot of time with my Aunt and my cousins. One of my favorite parts of the weekend was hanging out with my 13 year old cousin Elise and her friend. They absolutely loved Dexter, and he was really good with them. We played games and watched them be ridiculous. It was hysterical and it's good wholesome moments like that with family that really stay with me. They are the warm fuzzies in my memory jar. That night was my favorite. The next morning we went to the morning session once again. It was once again amazing, but we were both very tired, so he was nodding off meanwhile I was totally wired and couldn't sit still. It made the whole thing quite comical. Later that day we spent some time at my other Aunt's house. Another good time. And then suddenly, the weekend was over and I had fake glass in my forehead. BUT the good news is, he's coming to Palmdale for Thanksgiving! and I am absolutely ecstatic. I can't keep it in. That will make for an interesing blog entry. Check in in about 2 months and you can read all about it. :)

Party City



Starting today, all of the employees at Party City will
get to either wear a costume at work, or have Halloween makeup plastered on their face. I think it is a great idea and it's lots of fun. It makes work a lot more interesting. My paint job up there, incase you couldn't tell, is supposed to look like I've got shards of glass in my face. I wanted a costume, and the idea of the makeup made me a little nautious at first but I got used to it and most people thought it was funny. It was a great conversation starter at the register. The only thing I'm not sure I liked was the fear I saw in the children's wide eyes as they gawked, tiny mouths open. One little girl pointed heedlessly and kept right on pointing as she held her mother's hand and walked out of the store, turning back to me to stare and keep that finger aimed right at my smiling bloody face. It was a pretty entertaining day. I always enjoyed people's reactions when they returned my question "How are you?" and I said simply, "I'm great." They just look and laugh expecting me to play up the makeup, yes well despite the deadly spikes protruting from my head, I really am great.
Love it.
