Once in a while, I stop laughing

Happy September! I can hardly believe that just about all the local schools here have begun, and BYU began its semester yesterday. And yet, I went to bed at 9:30 last night in order to wake up at 4 and be at work at 5 this morning. And I'm still in Nashua. I'm trying to keep busy, but sometimes I just feel lazy. My day so far has been pretty uneventful. I had a good time at work this morning. Although cashiering is not my ideal job, I absolutely LOVE the people I get to work with. They're great. After work, Mel picked me up and we ran a few errands. We also spent some time at the cemetary. It was nice to take the time to reflect and ponder, and not feel like I was wasting time.

Then after that, on the way home, I decided to make a short list of why Melanie cracks me up, with specific incidents. There are only 4 on this list today, but enjoy! :) This is why I'm relatively sane and why I laugh so much!

1. Cruise control. Right after Mel got her license, we were driving down Main Street, and she was like "how do I use cruise control?" So I told her, and then she put on cruise control, lifted her hands off the wheel and grinned as she exclaimed "cruise control!!!!" I quickly explained that she had to keep steering.....:D
2. Today when we were leaving the cemetary, I got in the passenger seat and waited for Mel to come around to the drivers side of the car. Well, she got to that side and opened the back door.....why? I have no idea. I couldn't stop laughing for like 5 minutes. The best part was when she was like "yeah, I thought that was the front door...I have no idea why...." And it was funnier if you'd been there. :)
3. Also today, as she drove me home on the henry burque highway, we were listening to Taylor Swift. And naturally, the instant Mel decided to dance in the car while she was driving (as she was explaining something), we were passing a cop. And she didn't even notice. Oh Mel.
4. This one speaks for itself...

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....
