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...

To be or not to be...

...in this case, it is not the question but rather the answer. Today in Church a talk was given that brought up something important to me.  I am a "list person".  I have so many lists, because that is how I stay organized.  The most frequent list I make is a to-do list, generally before I go to bed for the next day (yes, I still have nightly planning sessions, hahahaha, picked that up from the mission!).  But in this talk, the speaker talked about how we like to-do lists because we can check things off as we finish.  But have we ever thought about a "To be" list?  So that got me thinking.  And tonight for my scripture study, I was pondering over this and decided that I also needed to make a "Not to be" list.  And these are lists that will stay with me for life, as I will never be perfect and will always be working on becoming more like Christ.  Because that is the ultimate goal of a "to be" list.  So here is the result of my study: T...

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....

"What do you want for Christmas?"

This question is asked countless times during this Christmas season, and is one that has recently been asked of me a few times.  Since my birthday was recent, I heard a few times "what do you want for your birthday?" too.  And it has left me thoughtful... Here, I could talk about how we need to forget the materialism of Christmas and focus on the real meaning, how it isn't about getting but it's about giving, about how we need to love each other more...basically, I could give you any kind of canned, stereotypical answer in response to this subject, but these are not the thoughts I've had! My thoughts have been simple, and I always give the same answer: "I don't want anything".  And then people would push me into saying something, but I literally couldn't (and still can't) come up with anything I need, or even want.  What does that mean?  Life is great. :)  It means that I am satisfied with my life right now...yeah, I've still got questi...
