Donny Osmond Sighting

So I after becoming increasingly angry at my brother and his wife for not posting at least once a day on their blog, I realized I was somewhat of a hypocrite. Not like this is a super vital situation, but I thought that the three people who actually read this might want an update. These three people including my family I saw twice last week, and my roommate. Anyhow, I have also realized what I weak blogger I really am. I watched my sister-in-law blog when she was visiting us, and she was so speedy and efficient, I aspire to be like her.

I am still serving as Los Hermanos, I am actually serving both lunch and dinner today. I am really enjoying it because unlike the other jobs I have had I am working with other young LDS kids. At the Bean I worked all alone, and at Winner School I was about the only Mormon one there. Lets just say I never went out to the bar with the crew of them after work. The job isn't really all the hard, it's just learning how to multitask and stand on your feet for ages. Anyhow, times are good and money is sparse.

Last week was super awesome because Bethany and the babe Ainsley were in town. That little girl has grown so big! Not just in size, but when she left she couldn't really sit up or make little gibber jabber. She was so much fun and two morning when I slept over I awoke to find her in bed with me (thanks to dad). We would sit and chat for awhile while she played with her feet. She also managed to throw up on every pair of pants I brought home, and even somehow spit up down my shirt, but not on it itself! What a talent. For cute pictures click here. It was kind of sad without Tom though, it felt to be all together without him. I spose we'll just have to wait until Christmas.

My life is actually quite boring, so I don't have much else to say. I wake up, watch music videos on VH1 with Becky and sometimes Sammy and eat breakfast. Then I mess about on the computer for awhile while concurrently getting dressed. I may have work, or I may then eat lunch. I may run an errand or two, but mostly it is just sitting around and working. Some quick points of interest to the common reader are

1-Becky, Landon, and I had lunch at Zuppas the other day and the girl at the counter told us to turn around because Donny Osmond was there. It was quite exciting, let me tell you!! I make fun of this guy a lot, but I got to give him credit for whatever it is he does now. And for the 10th time, yes he is as good looking in real life.


2-There is a fantastic show on VH1 I think everyone should watch, this actually takes up some of the laying about time. It is called The Pick Up Artist. I noticed Becks already posted a bit about this man, but it is this guy called Mystery, and he has travelled the world and written books on how to pick up women. The show is about picking the nerdiest men ever, and giving them lessons. It isn't that sleezy, and is actually cute because these dorkies get quite the self-esteem boost.

3-The roomies and I had every intention on becoming the Clue characters for Halloween, but didn't have a ward party to attend. I think Becks and I are going to wear the costumes for a work party, but I'm not sure. We went shopping for an entire Saturday to find the dresses, and I want to make sure mine gets used. I will post pictures if the costumes ever happen. Also, in preparation we watched the movie Clue. I offer a suggestion for both the movie, boardgame, and books for anyone that gets a chance.


That's about all I got for now. Hopefully I can start posting some pictures of me. However, that can't happen until my life gets more interesting. Anyhow, thanks for reading.

Verdict: Combos are Disgusting

So I've been fluctuating between finding a shirt to wear and viewing other blogs for the last half an hour. I did finally settle on one and took off my dramatic wolf shirt I wear for bed. I needed something apropos for work that also matched pigtails and an army green hat. It was not the easiest thing in the world, but Mission:Accomplished.

This morning I have officially done nothing. And by nothing I mean watching the America's Next Top Model Episode from last night. Lauren Brie left by the way, which was quite startling. I have also tried to figure out how to vote. Yes I realize this should have been done ages ago, but if you look at my track record (GRE, application for Grad programs) you might find I never get things done on time. I have to go into some office now and change my address, that was the problem I was trying to remedy. AND, if you got one of those Utah Voting things in the mail, take a gander at page 67 and look for a familiar Reese face. We have put that page up on our wall in our apartment so everyone can see what a good judge we have in the familia!

And on a sad note, but also happy, one of my best friends Christa went into the MTC yesterday. I am really happy for her, but it is sad to see her go. I met her the very first day of college in 2004. She was standing outside our American Heritage class and seemed friendly, so I sat by her when we went into class. Then an hour later we saw each other in psychology class. We realized we also had a music class together. We bonded instantly and have remained close friends ever since. She is Christers, and I am the-SUZE. We will one day have our own talk show, I'm sure of it. We can gab your ear off, and spend most of our time just chatting over lunch or something similar.

I will miss her so much, and she actually came by Tuesday night to say goodbye before she went into the MTC. I almost missed her because I was at work, but they let me off early so I could catch her. I had sent her a package of goodies that were also memories, and I came home to find a pack of Pizza flavored Combos on my computer. In one of our many pointless convo's, or any time we went to Wal Mart, I have expressed my great disgust of Combos. I tried them just to make sure, and they are still terrible!!

I don't have much else to say except: I PASSED MY SERVERS TEST!! As of next Monday (after my root canal of course), I will be learning to serve and serving. I am excited but a bit nervous. I really don't wanna suck. And I also have an interview for a part time job as a classroom aide at Provost Elementary. It would be over before I had to start work at Los Hermanos, and would be perfect. Anyhow, I actually have to run to work now because I am learning how to make the specialty drinks. Try the Oasis Bliss, it is surprisingly good. Mmm, pureed dates!!

Bloggin Too Much? Maybe.

As my previous post so eloquently stated, I am employed and started work on Monday. I have learned to cash, hostess, and thousands of other applications that I will learn eventually. I am currently studying to pass my servers test, which will be more difficult than anticipated. Since every item in Mexican food is absolutely smothered with sauce and cheese, I am learning to differentiate between 1 or 2 olives with 1,2,3 tomatoes on the side and what that means. And then times that by 50 other little things, with prices included, and that sums up my flashcard explosion. However, if I can pass biochemistry and other detailed concepts, I bet I can get this eventually.

It sure is awesome having a roommate work with you. Becks has been so cute and welcoming, and I couldn't have asked for a nicer welcome from her!! She has been so supportive.

Whilst not working, I have been keeping up on my internet surfing which really died down during the GRE studying months. I am proud to say that I have returned to checking my email about 20 times a day!! This is growing old however, and I am desperately looking for projects. I am even planning to return down to the dusty boxes of my scrapbook, and wrap the whole thing up. It is quite a chore considering that I haven't touched it since my freshmen year of college. Yowza!

I really don't have much else going on, just choistering my little heart out on Sundays, and working the rest of the week. It is kind of a bummer that I am working both Friday and Saturday nights till late, and cannot come home for my family tradition of having dinner after Priesthood meeting. These feelings are exaggerated by the fact that I am listening now to a passionate ballad by Leona Lewis. That girl can tug at your heartstrings no matter what the song is about.

Anyhow, I must head to my couch to continue memorizing the difference between the Combo Burrito and the Stuffed Burrito.
