“If you're alive, you can't be bored in San Francisco. If you're not alive, San Francisco will bring you to life.”

Prepare yourselves for lots of pictures, lots of funny stories, and and definitely some laughs.
This weekend I went to CALIFORNIA (YAY!); Corey's friend Lauren was going to hangout with a guy she hearts and invited Corey who invited me! So, Thursday morning I got up at about 6:00, threw some things in a duffel bag, showered, blow-dried my hair, and by about 7:15ish Corey was in my driveway. First we had to drive to Sugarhouse and pick up Lauren - pretty much the whole reason we went on this trip-then we headed to California. Corey had me drive once we got to Salt Lake - Traffic is not her favorite even though she drives just fine in it :) - but I drove all the way to Winnemucca, NV. Which was A LOT of miles. In Wells when we stopped for gas, some skody tire-store man at the "service station" tried to convince us that Corey's tire was bad. Douche, he clearly just wanted money. Anyway, the drive was long but went pretty fast and was super fun!
Notice the snow outside Corey's window - this was in Truckee and the snow on the sides of the road was definitely at least 6 feet high.
Beach Day!!!
This guy was very entertaining. He was training for something...probably to be the next Karate Kid, but I think J Smith might be hard to follow...

Okay, so here is one of the funny stories. After the beach we decided to go get some dinner. We plugged in the gps, and decided to go to Chilis, it said one was only 12 miles away so we started heading over there. Well, the bih in the box LIED. We drove from the Beach that was a little south of San Fran to southern San Fran - just 50 miles or so. It only took us about two hours to get to the dang Chilis. I was flustered because I kept missing exits, and was trying to answer the phone to set up a job interview, and I was just glad to be at Chilis by the time we FINALLY got there. I'm grateful though, we got to drive on lots of sweet bridges and see some more of the city.

California?....Yeah, Okay!

Basically, I'm going to San Francisco tomorrow, well technically Brentwood but it's basically the same thing. Either way, I'm very very excited! And I'm excited to listen to conference! I think overall it might be a really good weekend!

BoM

Okay here's the deal, I am 21 years old and I have NEVER read the Book of Mormon front to back. SO, I am trying to now. The goal is to do it in 100 days AT LEAST (but I'm going to try to make it 50) starting Sunday! Wish me LUCK!!

Oh a Hunting we will GO

Well, so far the job hunting has been no bueno. I had an interview with one place but they never called me back. So I will just have to keep looking. I could probably get a job at subway, but I'd kind of rather not.....
So I found a job online that is for a temporary sheepherder. I would apply except that I am not able to recognize toxic plants and my horse-riding skills aren't very good anymore. Speaking of horses - sad news. Our horse Stockton that we've had FOREVER died the other night. We think a twisted bowel - all our dang horses die from that :(. But one of our good friends always says "As long as you can keep the deaths in the barnyard, life is good." And as sad as it is to lose pets, that statement is so true.
I wasn't serious about the sheepherding job. But that's basically the type of jobs that are available right now. Not having money sure stinks, but I feel so much happier!!!

Too bad I can't afford it Now.

Well. My latest want is a pet zebra. Random? A little. But I pet Marty - the zebra at the Flying J petting zoo in Scipio, and I am sold. I would LOVE a dang zebra. Unfortunately, I can't afford one....

You see, on Wednesday I may have said something about one of my awesome "co-managers." Okay, really I was like a high school-er and I WROTE it down. Not that bad really, just a little catty. Anyway, she definitely saw it and yelled at me and Corey and then stormed out. Needless to say, this did not go without punishment. I was kind of suspended from work for 5 days, but when I found out, I just quit. So Thursday was an extremely emotional day. EXTREMELY EMOTIONAL. Haha. But although I have no money now, and a car payment due every month for the next 4.5 years, I feel SO MUCH BETTER. Let's just say this certain "co-manager" or "toxic twin" as she's referred to at work, is no cupcake.

Now for the best part. I went to St. George with Corey on Friday to get away and go have a fun weekend FOR ONCE, and as we were eating lunch, our BFF Bryn called to fill us in on the drama we were missing. And what we missed is Dianna (our nicer co-manager) SLAPPING Trini (the annoying and horrible one of the co-managers) across the face so hard that her follow-through hit our GM's gut. Hahahahahahahaha. Although I'm glad that I won't possibly be charged for assault like Dianna, I SO wish I could have had the satisfaction of slapping Trini across the face. It had to have felt so good.

HOW does that even Happen?????

Sometimes when someone is standing behind you and you bend over then stand up, their finger and your "crack" just somehow meet up. This may have happened to me today. It was awkward and hilarious. And I still have no idea how it happened!!! hahahaha.

SOmetiIMEs I SaY/Do ThiNgs WithOuT THnikING

Lately I have been planning my future. In-fact, I feel like that is almost all I do. I plan at work, when I get home from work, as I watch TV with my parents, and as I fall asleep. In all this planning, I have pretty much decided I want to move down to St. George. This may change, but for now, that's what I want to do. I have also decided I would like to go to Beauty school. This is sort of a new development. I still want to get my degree - at least my associates - in Business. But now I just can't decide which I want to do first.... :P
I have been requesting info from lots of different beauty schools just to see what my options are, and today Paul Mitchell called me. They didn't have all of my address so I gave it to her, then she wanted to schedule a time for me to come visit. Next thing I know I'm hanging up and telling my mom..."Well, I guess we're going to St. George next Tuesday morning, you know, since I just thought that sounded good as I was on the phone." Haha, so if weather is good, then I'm headed down there next week. I should probably try to think as I talk on the phone and not just say yes to things that aren't very logical.
