cowboy boots, belt buckles, and country dancing

So my time at home has flown by, and it's just about time for me to leave again! I leave tomorrow morning, bright and early, to head down to DC. Friday will be filled with sailing, hopefully. I'd better bring sunscreen, or I'll get to EFY as a tomato.

I haven't done much since I've been home. I worked a total of 4 hours at Hannaford...that'll be a small paycheck tomorrow, though I won't get it for 3 1/2 weeks. I did some painting projects at the Youngs', though, which has been helpful to my financial state! They're great people, so it was fun to hang out and catch up with them too. It's always better to work for people you like! I've attended the Singles Ward a couple times, and it's great to see old friends and make new friends! I'm looking forward to going there weekly in August and the fall. I really love that ward, and I'm glad to be back!

Other than that...oh, I've taught Steven and Michael some country dancing that I know, so they're pretty pumped and want to "own" everyone at EFY with our sweet moves. Now I just have to break the news to Jazon... :)

Well, I've got a list of things to do, and it's a mile long, so I really need to go cross more things off of there. I'll be back in a few weeks! Oh- yeah, I think I'm going to leave my computer here during EFY. Less to lug around and worry about, and I won't really use it anyway.

10 Things I hate about Hannaford

Today was one of those days. I've had this list growing in my head for a while too, and today I just want to write it all down, cuz the first part of work, until I got back from my break, pretty much sucked. Stupid people. So in no specific order... 1. Frozen pizzas. I don't like eating them, and I hate them even worse at the register, because their barcodes are dumb and they don't fit in bags. 2. paper in plastic. Seriously, what's the point?! 3. customers who bag for themselves on express. THERE IS NO ROOM ANYWAY, and yet they're making less. This also includes the people who rearrange as you bag for them. yuck. if you want it a specific way, just tell us! 4. people who smell bad. nuff said. 5. old guys who wink at me. and hit on me. sick. 6. when dillon is not my bagger. hahahah. 7. when someone asks "where's corn flake crumbs?" like anyone could even know that. what are those even used for?! just get the crumbs from the bottom o...

Greased Lightning

It's snowing today! And what a great day it's been...minus the fact that I haven't finished nearly as much as I should have by now. But I DID go outside and play in the snow...and that's important! The snow was fresh in the tree....so I did what any little kid would do, and licked it. It was snow AND ice...good thing my tongue didn't freeze to the tree in my front yard! I love tree branches in the snow. There's just something about the combination of brown and pure white that strikes my artistic bone. Part of the tree and part of my house. Looking up Pennichuck Street. So picturesque. Me in my getup...I borrowed Michael's boots because I don't have any in NH (except for my cowboy boots....), and he gave me his snowshoeing boots, because they each weight like 5 pounds, and he just wanted to see me try to walk in them. My sunglasses made a comeback! Well, that's today. I've got a couple papers to write for English 316, and a bunch of Bio to r...

10 Things I love about Hannaford

So originally I was going to do this in sarcasm...but then decided that I could actually come up with 10 things (in no specific order) I like about my job. Even though being a cashier at a grocery store is not ideal, it's a job, and...well, you'll see. 1. Going on break with my dad sometimes. Because, you know, we work in the same store. It's pretty cool. 2. I love the people I work with soooooo much! Mainly the ones during the day, because I don't know any of the high school kids that work evenings, because I rarely work evenings. 3. Being the "party animal". nuff said. 4. Watching a cashier ID someone for alcohol, and him telling us that he doesn't even have a photo ID since his license was taken away for DWI. Yeah, maybe he should rethink his purchase... 5. Now when I hear the name of a vegetable, I automatically think of its PLU. Dates: 3047. Cabbage: 4069. Bananas: 4011. Tree Ripe Peaches: 4044. Eastern Peaches: 4403. Nectarines: 4378....
