workie workie work work

So this week I have been staying in Cedar even though school is out, for work- I was suppose to get this week off, however one of my best friends, Kira it was her last week in cedar (we work together) and two people in the bakery got married (noone in the bakery likes them really anyway!) well i knew this was the busy season so i decided i'd get some extra hours in and work this week before christmas! Monday I started a new job of kneading...it doesn't seem hard...however kneading 550 loafs of bread does make you quite tired, and then to wake up the next morning at the buttcrack of dawn and knead 450 more just is a TON of bread! well that was all good and i was able to make sandwiches those days too so i got a few hours in, well it was thursday and i didn't knead, I was just a sandwich person, we were SO busy and we had no extra help, well Kira decided to come help me so i wasn't so backed up, well i have no heart apparently...cuz i don't cry when i cut onions, Kira asked me to cut the onion I said sure well we cut the onions on a meat slicer...well needless to say i'm not quite tall enough to see the top of the meat slicer...so what did i do? i cut it without my stool (ok crate box...) well i was cutting and all of the sudden what happens? I yell SON OF A...and i slice a chunk of my hand off in the meat slicer! my bosses wife was right there and everyone knew exactly what i had done, well needless to say i felt horrible because we were already behind and people were helping me catch up...and what do i do go and take a chunk of my hand off in the meat slicer- there was nothing to sew up so no point in going to the hospital for stiches- the bleeding finally stopped around five when i got cut around one, yes yes i was the one to actually get cut by the slicer when everyone is afraid of doing it! today it hurts SO bad- I was a kneader again this morning and well where the cut is is right where you knead- lucky for me i found the most amazing band-aids ever! they don't come off, and they are fun! gotta love the waterproof princess tattoo band-aids! they are amazing!!! i was glad though cuz today i was able to get nine hours in for work! next paycheck is gonna be awesome! yes sorry random, thats the newest thing in my life lately- if i'm not in school then i'm at work!

So if i don't update for the next couple weeks its cuz i'm "studying" ok i won't lie...i don't study too often...but i'll be doing my last min. homework to get done with this semester!

sugesstions are welcome!

so i am trying to figure out what i am going to major in- if anyone has any ideas please let me know! i'm open for sugesstions- i'm thanking in advance for the advice!- Amanda if you say cake decorator i might have to kill you...i only wanted to be that so i could eat the cakes ok? yes i admit it!

tasty tuesday...again cheap college student style

get pita's from smiths (only place and cedar that sells good ones)
get Lettus hearts (for the love of pete...wash it off!)
get ceaser dressing (w/ or w/o anchovies in the dressing)
make chicken or get the pre-cooked frozen chicken from costco
and have shaker cheese or fresh cheese

get the pita and broil it for a little while in the oven have the chicken still hot when you put it on the pita with the ceaser salad! top with cheese and enjoy

it makes a wonderful fast filling dinner- and you kinda feel healthy with veggies in it- this is actually what i normally order at chili's so it is pretty good!

update on halloween...and well scary stuff

So I've never been one to really believe in ghosts and such...well after the past two weeks I am now a beliver of them...I have been working at the Sigma Nu (frat. boy's) Haunted Hospital- well I was left there most nights by myself. I had heard MANY stories about this hospital and how it actually was haunted, I myself had not experienced anything until the last Saturday we were there...I stood up on this counter in a gift shop and it looked like I was fake...well there was an empty storage room behind me the only way to get in there was through the room- well Saturday night I am up on the counter and the other girl in the room my friend Kira, well she was telling a story we made up (we told 3 stories in our room one about Annie the little girl who giggles, Rachel the nurse who went crazy and murdered her patients, and Flannel Jack who raped innocent women and was killed by a patient) well saturday kira kinda stopped talking in the middle of telling on of her stories and she after that stopped telling the Flannel Jack story, well when we finally got a break for dinner she asked if i noticed she stopped in the middle of telling a story i told her what story it was and she goes so you noticed I stopped in the middle of the Flannel Jack story I said yes...she goes well it is because I saw someone walk across the door in the storage room, I said well that is very interesting because I have had someone poking me in the back all night long- I thought it was my mind playing tricks on me until then...
Ok so that was Saturday...Sunday was a day of rest and we were to go back on Monday...
Monday...Anything that could possibly go wrong and crazy did in our room alone...Kira was telling the flannel jack story and she stopped and had a REALLY hard time telling the rest of the story, I asked her what happened later she tells me an arm came out of the ceiling, well in the storage room we kept the door open because it creeped us out to have it closed, well i would flop over on the counter and when i was about to- this weird light came from nowhere and put a weird design on the wall, after that the next story i flopped over and well a light came from the closet and shined my shadow on the wall in front of me i freaked out! I had heard of telling bad things to leave and demanding that they leave sometimes in the name of Christ...well sure enough after the light thing I said a prayer and the light thing stopped- and after kira saw the arm i demanded whatever was in there with us would leave! Well the night didn't end there- kira was grabbed by a drunk man and then every time we tried telling any of the stories besides the Rachel Nurse story something new and creepy would happen to us- mostly coming from the storage room well the last few groups the two of us had had it with our room and this boy Charlie stayed with us because we were freaking out at this point- we demanded things would leave and something new would happen- well Charlie was there the night was over and about five mins after the last group shelves started falling the storage room by themselves...we were done with that room for the night! I know I am forgetting some of the crap that happened to us in that room that night- well the other two nights only one thing happened to me on Tuesday night and one thing to Kira on Halloween, Tuesday night I was telling the Flannel Jack story when I felt a hand press down on my chest and made it so i really couldn't tell the rest of the story= we had other people in our room and they didnt know why i freaked out- on Halloween Kira had someone strumming their fingers on the storage room door when she was in the room all by herself! yup i'm glad i don't have to go back to that scary hospital ever again and have to stay in a room by myself...well where i am the only living person in there...i'm just glad to know we have Jesus on our team!

another tasty tuesday

living away from home and not being able to cook very often...or ever if that I have a few dishes that are my favorites and they are filling!

grilled cheese sandwiches

two slices of bread (great harvest of course!)
cheese (cheadar...or if you are filling daring...Swiss and Cheadar)
put butter on the bread and put it on either a frying pan or the sandwich maker- quick meal that isn't as bad as cereal every meal!

Tasty Tuesday

First off Amanda...what about pudding powder? I was trying to figure out what is was over the weekend when we were making our apples

DUMP CAKE

Get 2 cans of pie filling put it in the bottom of a pan
Get any box of cake mix, (with apple pie filling spice cake is wonderful)
pour the dry mix over the filling and smooth over the top-
put slivers of butter evenly over the cake mix-
put the pan into the oven at 350 for 30 mins


and because i slacked last week this is another one of my favorites but i'm not going to post the whole thing just a link to it!

Amanda's Farewell Pink Hair Tour

Amanda said farewell to her pink hair for the time being- well Amanda I want to let you know that it is not over! I couldn't let myself go on knowing that we would not have weird colors around until you are an old lady- So I took the responsibility upon myself to continue this action- and hopefully when I'm done Ruby will be old enough to want to do it (you would think for a little girl who loves the color pink she would want hers pink as well!) well I have some pictures- next time i may do my entire head pink or blue but for the time being its just the underneath part! Also already I've an old lady give me dirty looks-it was wonderful! however I had a guy today that came into work tell my boss I needed a raise because he liked my hair! I know these are very emo/myspace pictures that was the point of them! i was trying to get some like Amanda's so that i could be even more like her (however i don't have enough in the front to make it work!)

are you allowed to say bong at church?

So today I was up in Alpine going to church with my mom- it was testimony meeting today and you know how there are those people in the ward who get up every fast sunday and just go off and talk about nothing? Yeah well this man today is one of those guys...good old crazy Chuck...ok well he gets up and starts talking about family- which you think will be pretty normal...but no- he goes my youngest son did drugs he was messed up some days he would wake up and not even notice he still had a bong in his mouth! (I was so shocked i just started laughing, i had to leave the meeting because i was laughing so hard in fact!) not only did he say that...but then he decided to go on about the bong, he goes a bong is a glass apperatus that assists in making a person high, with marijuna! really who says stuff like that at church?! I couldn't believe it and then it made me think about other crazy things that have happened at our ward- the family where the mom said her husband liked full body massages, or their daughter who loved killing snakes with a shovel and then felt bad so she gave it a funeral- really some people when they get in front of the microphone should just say nothing at all! I was just wondering if anyone else had crazies in their ward- I know Amanda had a good one in her old ward in American Fork but I couldn't remember the stories!

i love being so athletic!

So I need to put pictures up so that Jillie and Amanda can see what they helped create...we (Amanda) decided after the fact that i need to wear a gold medal next time and my retainer! This was for a school dance (an ESPN themed dance)...next time I'm not going to wear the sweats! and yes I did have my roommate cut my hair just for the dance! Thanks for ideas Jillie and Amanda!

the good, the bad, and the ugly of summer 2007

OK so I saw Amanda had done a summer re-cap so I feel as though I need to copy her (like always) and do the same!

The good:
I moved twice (once in the same house) but I no longer live in the gross part of cedar city, i live in a house and i no longer have room-roommates...I have my own room again and it is wonderful! I got some schooling done and am now almost a junior after only a year down at school! I chopped off all my hair


(This may need to go into the bad or ugly section I'm not sure yet- but i did a good deed and donated it so that I guess was good!)

I went on my second Skydiving trip and next time will be able to go by myself! at the end of summer I finally got a job! My best friend growing up Jenny came down to visit me!


The bad:
My best friend growing up got married and left me all alone-

I still love you Jenny but man you sold me out and got married on me! i thought you would be the one to stick it out with me and not get married until after college! I went to Nevada with a felon. I broke my nose wakeboaring and had a bump on my nose/ two black eyes. I was trapped down in Cedar City for a couple of weeks because there was a huge fire on both sides of us. I was bored outta my mind and could not find a job anywhere in Cedar City- I was turned down for jobs that monkeys could do but I wasn't able to get the job! I had some choice friends who decided to be really awesome and treat me wonderfully! and I broke my camera at Lagoon with Jaclyn in July so I didn't have a camera for most of the summer!

The ugly:
So i can think of one really ugly thing from the summer- it was right before school started-I had my arm blow up if you can picture this...Elphantitis of the entire right arm- spot on leg, and upper left arm! I was Quazimoto woman and it was horrible! (apparently it is weird to drive yourself to the ER) I didn't get any pictures of my arm/hands but i do have my hospital bracelet and it can go up past my elbows...well I was put on medicine and the swelling went down (after being rushed into the ER after 15 hrs of the swelling-oh i was bite by bugs thats why i looked way weird- being there and put on an IV...great story altogether!) well I went home that weekend and I was on the tramp with Arah and Shawn watching a meteor shower when I got bite on the nose by another stupid bug! so my nose/face swelled up! I now had Quazimoto face quite attractive having to go into work looking like a stupid handicapped oompa loompa with a bad eye! I was not happy about that!

that was my summer in a nut shell...i just learned or am trying to learn how to put pictures on...so we'll see if it actually worked!

tattoos

so this past year I went with my two roommates down to vegas to get tattoos- they were very dumb tattoos but I have found one that tops theirs....a man in my ASL class has tattoos all over his arms and up his neck- then I noticed he had them on his head as well (his hair has grown out a little since the first day of class so you can't see it as well) well today I finally saw the guys face- he had tattooed down his face tears....why in the world would you get a tattoo on your face!? I wanted to laugh in his face but apparently that is not the nicest thing to do to people- when I saw this tattoo it reminded me of the story Zach told me about going to Lagoon and the lady who had an Ad tattooed on her face for some money (I believe it was a very small amount of money like $1,000 or something like that) Why would you tattoo an Ad on your face? come on think about it...it's there forever and you look retarded!
Today at work we discussed Tattoos and my boss said before any of us get tattoos we have to take his one hour class on tattoos- which actually is 4 hours long and we will be going to a gym or a pool...just to prove to us how horrible tattoos are- I really love work we can just joke around and have fun pretty much the entire time! anyhoo that is my thoughts on tattoos...
oh and if i were to get a tattoo i'd get a tattoo on the bottom of my foot and it'd be of a bruise...what would yours be?

update on all of life...how old does a horse have to be before it turns into a bull?

So i have been getting in trouble because i have not updated this thing in quite some time...first off in my life...
I'm in my second year at SUU (I'm a sophomore almost junior i need to clarify that because i'm not going to be like my old roommate who is a third year returning freshman!) and i actually am enjoying it this time around i have my own room which has been designated the green room (everything in my room is pretty much green) so i live in the green room of the arby's house- I live directly behind Arby's which is fine...EXCEPT for the fact that every morning around 4:30 or 5 the garbage monster (truck) decides to come out and wake me up! I do not smell like roast beef sandwhiches or curly fries much to Amandas dismay living in the Arby's house. I have switched my major from Biology pre-med to undecided...I am not undecided it is just I had to put that in order to get out of the freakin science department! I have now decided I want to go into Social Work- the problem is they do not have a bacholors of Social Work at SUU anymore so I'll either have to go into Criminal Justice or Psychology or transfer schools after I get my associates degree...I could also go into Sociology but after my Maymester from hell I don't think sociology was "my thing". As of right now I really think I'll go the Criminal Justice route becasue I really don't want to have to move all of my stuff and I have made some pretty decent friends down here (Amanda we won't go into the fact that I know I have made some (one who tries to make my life a living hell) really crappy friends too we will skip over that fact for the time being!) It would be quite interesting if I actually were to go into Criminal Justice and go into social work that way...it would kinda run in the family...well the Stowe side of the family doing criminal justice-
well that is my update on school...
As for work I am working at Great Harvest Bread Co. I love it...I have been working there a little over a month now and it really is so much fun...usually I just give out free slices of bread to people (I was super ticked when I thought I hadn't gotten the job because heck who can't give out free bread to people) well the past week I learned how to do sandwhiches and well needless to say I'm not very fast at making them...I have countless times put my hand on the Pannini grill or touched the steamer...yes i know it isn't very bright but i apparently keep forgetting that those things are hot!
I went to an institute class for the first time...my roommate made me go with her...yeah she went to preparing for eternal marriage...i couldn't let myself take that class! I went the one time and that was more than enough for me...so I switched to Mission Prep (that class actually could apply to me at this point in my life- i really wish girls didn't have to wait until they are 21 to go- why can't we go when we are 19 too?)
Oh I figured out this week what I really want to do! I decided skydiving isn't dangerous enough- I want to ride a bull! Pretty much every person in Cedar City, UT is a total red neck, hick, or cowboy (yes there is a difference between all three)
Red Neck: Loves Nascar wants to move back to Overton, NV and own a mechanics shop...
Hick: drunk cowboys
Cowboy: The guy who does rodeos
so being around them has started to rub off on me- I guess it isn't too bad and I bet my dad will be happy that I'm around all these cowboys he likes to tell me I'd be a lucky girl to marry a cowboy...i think he just wants an excuse to get a horse sometimes...well I went to two rodeos this week and well I decided the first night I was there that I want to ride bulls- I don't know how much my parents will approve of it- but heck they didn't have too much of a choice in my skydiving so I figure this is just the next step in getting an adrenaline rush- I told my friend Susie this but then I also had to tell her I've never actually rode a horse...so she said I had to ride a horse before she would let me ride a bull- I guess up in Bryce Canyon there is a place you can go and ride a Jr. Bull or something like that and so I'd do that instead of a full on big mean killing machine bull!
Well at this point I am just rambling and so I better stop I hope everyone is doing well- I will be able to update this more often now that we have internet at the Arby's house!

skydive trip 2007

Ok I know Amanda is again going to make fun of me because the two words that describe me...KENYA AND SKYDIVING... but really it is a blast!!! I think that skydiving is the one thing every person in their life must try at least once! yes it is a little expensive but hey when else are you going to get the chance to throw yourself out of an airplane and fall to the ground at 120 mph? I went for my second jump and holy cow I didn't think it was possible but I liked it more than the first jump...I was a little bummed out when Cody was able to do flips and stuff out of the airplane even though it was his first jump (and it being my second my guy didn't do anything cool...)but it was still SO awesome! My next jump I can get certified to go by myself- that kinda freaks me out but at the same time it'll be so much cheaper once I am certified and have my own gear...(between $20-40 not $160-180...) so if any of you are wanting to go skydiving let me know because I'm always game to go! (oh this time my friend Chucky's chute kinda malfunctioned but the people are so professional and whatnot that they got it worked out and didn't even have to use the reserve chute- so its totally safe- you are more likely to die on the drive up there than you are when you jump out!) oh and another thing you are attached to someone and they are going to do everything in their power to survive so you are pretty much 100% safe!

good books?

Now I know Amanda is most likely going to make fun of me and tell me to stop reading Harry Potter books- but for crying out loud I only have one more book to go I might as well read it- however in the mean time I am going CRAZY! with boredom please help me and let me know what some good books are for me to read- all I have read in the past year have been flippin text books about biology or chemistry and I'm sick of it! let me know if anyone knows of any good books to read!

very sick sick world

So I want to find all the crazy parent stories out there and make a book- like the crazy swim team moms who yell at the timers- or yell at their kids if they don't get a fast enough time or the crazy Ashley girl from swim teams mom who called everyone sweetie and was just flat out odd- or the pagent moms who have their poor little girls thinking they are fat at the age of 3. well i today i found the best crazy parent story yet!

So i was reading the news today because i am bored out of my mind (i've been out of school only two days and i'm going crazy with nothing to do) and i watched this video http://newsbloggers.aol.com/2007/05/31/on-a-scale-from-one-to-tan/ about a mom who wants her daughter to be tan for school pictures WTF??!?! this poor little girl is only about 9 and her mom is giving her skin cancer- what an amazing mother! my favorite part is when the little girl goes i really don't want to do this- and her mom goes yes you do- you have to look tan for your school pictures...and to top it off it cost her $1,300 for a tan like Lindsay Lohan...yes she paid $1,300 to have her daughter look like a slut!

Maymester from Hell...

As I decided to stay down at school for the summer and continue going to school I didn't think that taking an entire semester in 3 weeks would be that big of a deal...boy was I wrong- doing a 8 page paper, single spaced, 10 point font in about a week is pretty dang tough- by the end of it all I was thinking was what is sociology? how in the world should I know what sociology is? oh and it helps having a teacher who loves us...NOT- not only does he hate mormons but he hates the education that is offered in Utah...and he taught at harvard so he thinks everyone is stupid (the first day of class we were all called dumbass's and I just started laughing thinking of Red Foreman off of that 70's show teaching my class- oh how I wish it were Red Foreman...) anyway back to the subject of my teacher...if you hate mormons what are you doing in Utah? If you taught at Harvard what in the world are you doing in RURAL Utah? The first day of class we had 10 people in the class...by the end of the fourth day only 6 people were left...I kinda wish I would have been one of the four people who dropped out- but I figure I better "stick it to the man" and get through the class and not worry too much about it after that- well I figured this guy was pretty much crazy so I might as well just finish out the semester- but it pretty much killed me- it took all of my energy and so I decided instead of having the stupid appendix hurting all of the time I would just take this first summer block off...well I've only been out of school for two days and I'm bored out of my mind- I have applied at every job on the block and I've even done all of my laundry, cooked, and planned how I'm going to redecorate my room...I've bought all the stuff now I'm off to actually try and be all creative and domestic again!

The joy of college

I have decided I know what I love most about college and living out on my own. It isn't a permanent living situation. I have been living with 6 girls for the past 9 months. It was great to start out- but after the third day I knew things were going to be extremely hard. I had a roommate who shall remain unnamed this girl is the stupidest person I have ever met. I know that is harsh but it is the truth. The first day of school she asked me how to make a grilled cheese sandwich, I tried helping her out and tried teaching her but she refused to listen to me. So after our house was filled with smoke and the charcoal flavored cheese sandwich was outside I asked her if she wanted me to teach her how to actually make a grill cheese sandwich. She finally accepted my help. This isn't all with this girl it is just the beginning. A few weeks later our apartment smelled like something had died in it and we all decided to get together and clean the apartment- my dear sweet retarded roommate decided to put Salad Supreme Seasoning in the dishwasher instead of dish washer detergent. Why? I have no idea- I think she had an evil plan to make me the germaphobe go crazy...and it was starting to work. After running the dishwasher around 20 times we finally got the seasoning off our dishes and out of the dishwasher. Then she would go five or six days without showering- which is fine go for it...but once you start to smell so bad that every time I walk by you I gag...YOU NEED TO SHOWER!
My all time favorite thing- she is a pathological liar. My food kept disappearing and I would ask all the girls in the apartment if they happened to eat my food. Everyone deny ed it- well I finally had had it my homemade strawberry jam kept getting lower and lower and I hadn't eaten any of it. The threat notes on the food weren't working, licking all my food wasn't working, nothing worked on this girl. And it wasn't that she was just eating my jam- it was that she left that gross peanut butter residue inside the jar- when you make a PB & J please please use a different utensil to get the peanut butter and the jam! Well about two weeks before she moved out I decided to get even...I wanted my homemade jam and I was sick and tired of being the bad guy because I thought she was gross. So I decided since there was very little jam left I was going to ruin it- I was willing to sacrifice my jam to teach this girl a lesson! So I grabbed the salt, I opened my jar of jam and I poured half the bottle of salt into the jam- I mixed up the solution and I put it back into the fridge, I knew it was only a matter of time before she would eat it- sure enough not even 24 hours later I notice my jam has been eaten and that she had been eating a PB & J. I confront her about this and she just flat out ignores me- I leave for a few hours so I don't punch her (normally I am not a violent person but don't mess with my jam!) Well I cool down quite a bit and then come back to the apartment and I sit her down and try and calmly ask her about it- and what does the turd do?! she blames it on someone else in the apartment. I guess I didn't teach her a lesson- My older sister Amanda told me to get a pair of her shoes and spread peanut butter all inside it- deny putting it in there but when she finally confronts me about it- say oh wait you don't like peanut butter spread inside your things?! NEITHER DO I! So this girl moved out in December and I am so grateful- I would have killed the dirty, gross, pig!
The combination of a roommate that didn't flush the toilet or shower, and then the Hag who was my actual roommate and had a boy (not just any boy- but a boy who has no respect for women or knows how to treat friends he is a creep!) living in our bedroom with us for 4 months I spent every moment I was awake out of my apartment and almost every weekend at home which was 350 miles away...it became a very expensive semester- I'm so glad that after December I didn't have to room with either one of them. I'm grateful college living arrangements are not permanent
