nightmare

I had this weird dream last night. I was back in Rexburg and there was this huge problem. For some reason the school had let me graduate by skipping a semester that I needed, but I had to finish that semester after I graduated, but I had forgotten all about it and classes were the next day and I hadn't registered or anything and classes were all full and I was back with weird new roommates and trying to figure out what I was going to scavenge for dinner that night. Ugh, it was truly a horrendous nightmare.

snow :)

Today the snowed made me happy instead of wanting to murder everything around me.

I wear scrubs to work

It's not what you think. I've been working graveyard shifts at Best Buy, and they let us wear street clothes as they call it, so I wear my scrubs. It's the closest I'll get to wearing scrubs to work in a while so I'll take it.

Oh, and I almost hit a coyote on my way to work. Never seen a wild animal in Vegas in my life and there it was in the BestBuy parking lot scampering in front of my car.

Christmas

No one in my family believes in taking pictures during special events so I've photoshopped myself into some of them, and when I say photoshopped, I mean i used a random app on my phone.

Everyone in the family got Sonicare toothbrushes thanks to the new dental hygienist in the family. Now we all will have squeaky clean teeth! They're kind of intense though. Once you get over the feeling that your brain is shaking a million times a second it's quite nice. I wonder what gifts I, the "nurse" would influence for Christmas. Bedpans? Clean sheets?

Happy Christmas!

car conversation

The following is a typical conversation with my 3 yr old nephew.

While talking about cars-

Me: What kind of car do you want?
Jaxson: A sedan. I like sedans.
Me: What kind of sedan?
Jaxson: A Toyota Prius. Thats what I says. What kind of car do you want?
Me: Well I really like convertibles. I want one of those.
Jaxson: What kind of convertible do you want?
Me: Oh maybe a Pontiac Solstice. I like those, but they're kind of expensive.
pause.
Jaxson: You should get a Volkswagen Beetle convertible. They're not expensive.
Me: I actually used to really want one of those.
Jaxson: A want a 700 E Class. (referring to Mercedes Benz.)
Me: Those are really expensive.
Jaxson: What about a 400 C Class.
Me: Umm yeah thats still expensive too.
Jaxson: But at the end of the commercial it says not.
Me: Well it depends how much money you have.
Jaxson: Are Toyota Camrys expensive?
Me: No, your good there.

And yes, this is a picture of Jaxson playing a car game on an iphone while watching car commercials online. He likes cars.

Another one bites the dust

A recent study/poll or whatever I heard on the radio has found that Las Vegas is ranked number 47 out of the states for having the worst health. But according to Obama that ranking isn't such a bad thing.

You know what its like to finally see someone who you've been faithfully stalking for the past 3 years and who happens to be your cousin?

It's looks a little like this:

Favorite Amy quote of the night:

When talking about the instability of my car and how I have to avoid going over lane divider bumps she says,

"For everyone else it's all fun and games, but for you it's a matter of life and death".

Oh and she was kind enough to take pity on me because I haven't seen Harry Potter 7, so she saw it with me :) And it was AMAZING!

riddle me this

What does it mean when a guy at work, who you see every morning and pass by constantly on the floor, who doesn't say anything more than a simple hello and a smile for months up and slyly hands you a business card of his friend who does hair and tells me that his friend is really good if I were interested.

I mean I know getting dolled up for work is what I would say is last thing that I do, but man, that must mean that I look atrocious.

Inspiration for adding drawings came from my cousin Amy who is the epitome of cool.

The Adventures of Courtney and Julie

The short time we had together was filled with wild adventures. I first saw Courtney on Fast Sunday bearing her testimony. She'd said that she's just graduated from BYUI which made me very excited. So I strategically waited to pounce on her in Relief Society.

Our first conversation went something like this:
J: "So you went to BYUI?" (full well knowing that she did)
C: "Yeah"
J: "Do you want to be my friend?"
C: "Totally!!"

Then I listened to her stomach make the loudest fast Sunday growls I've ever heard in my life and knew we'd be the best of friends.


Hannah Montana turned Madonna and White temptation attending the biggest Halloween singles party in Vegas...and Henderson.


Us volunteering at LifeLongDreams, the most amazing charity event of my life. That's a red carpet behind me.


And of course, gotta throw in an ugly sweater party! I'm wearing a sheep dog sweater.


Us taking a ride in a mini school bus at a Harry Potter Marathon night (that I had to leave early for work).

I heart you Courtney Bradshaw.

Homer's new haircut

The parents were fed up with the constant shedding of Homer, so they finally got him shaved. Granted he looks a bit odd... but he's still my Homey.

Homer, the Ultimate Love of my Life is closing in on the end. The famous genetic hip disorders of Labradors has finally hit and he doesn't have much time left because I will not let him live in pain even though I dont know how I will be able to live without him. In a perfect world animals would have health insurance to get their hips fixed, wait in a perfect world I would have health insurance. If my hips went out my parents would probably have to put me down too.

Anywho, dont read too much into that.

Just make it past Christmas Homer.

Dumbest City in America is rubbing off on me

Due to popular demand I've decided to do some updating, though I dont see how I can afford to spend time on my blog due to my busy lifestyle. Between eating, sleeping, organizing DVDs and watching Veronica Mars I have little time to spare.

First matter of business that I think is essential for my posterity that is sure to read this is that I accomplished the impossible by taking a nap lasting from 10am to 6pm AND I was able to fall asleep that night just fine, granted I did have some very scary dreams because of that.

I didn't use to be this pathetic. I used to have dreams, goals, hope. What broke my spirit? Hard to say exactly. Instead of blaming myself I'm blaming Las Vegas and it's horrible economy that's preventing me from getting a job as an RN, preventing me from contributing to society, unless you count alphabetizing CDs and DVDs worthwhile endeavors. Our news paper printed an article talking about how Las Vegas has the 5th Worst Economic status in the WORLD. The WORLD!! No other American city even made it on the list. It even won the "stupidest city" status due to many gauging factors.

I've decided to give myself till the new-year for further sulking, then as Nacho Libre would say, "Let's get down to the nitty gritty" and I will go and put my best foot forward, which is my right foot, and go and conquer the world, or well Vegas first.
