I got a good job, I work hard for my money

Lyrics from the song I'm currently listening to, "Boot Scootin Boogie".

Anyway, yesterday was a fantastic day!  Chris got home from his mission:

It was awesome to be at the airport with his family and the Whatcotts for the excitement!  We went back to his house afterwards, and for a few hours, Chris just told us all about his mission.  I look forward to hanging out with one of my best buds over the next 33 days before I head out!  I get first date with him as an RM ;)

Yesterday was also kind of a wake-up call.  Since I got my mission call, I've had lots of things happen that I knew would happen.  John came home.  I went to Utah.  Temple.  Thanksgiving.  birthday.  Tiff and Sky came for Christmas.  Everyone left for school.  Chris got home. Now...the next big thing, literally, is me leaving.  I realized just how fast this next month is going to fly by.  Chris is home; this is something I've been looking forward to for (literally, 2 years) a long time...and now that's happened, and wow.  Time is flying by.  3 1/2 months ago, I got my mission call, and I thought it would be eternity before I'd be leaving, but now it's creeping up on me.  My lists of things to do are shrinking, my post-it wall is diminishing as I finish things, and I am taking care of a lot of things to get things in order.

On that note, I need to go finish my proposal for a paper for my English class.  I need to turn it in like 2 weeks ago, aka tomorrow, so I gotta get that done.  And I can't do it tonight unless I pull an all-nighter, because I have to work til 11:30.  Fun fun fun!  And it's snowing, so that's pretty awesome :)

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.

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 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
