Yeah, funny story. Ok, here goes. So I was thinking about dinner today and what I should make. I mean, I was pretty positive I should make SOMETHING because I was hungry, Dad was hungry, there was just hunger all around-- you know? So, I ran up to Smith's and on the way I called Steph because I had NO idea what I should make--not at all.
We were chatting and all was going well, I was shopping around (I decided to make Shepard's Pie--mostly because I can use it for lunch tomorrow too! Yay for hitting two birds with one stone!) talking to Stephanie, catching up, getting odd looks from the customers from some of the things I was saying, ooh and I did get checked out by the way cute stock boy, and life was pretty good. I got everything I needed, checked out, and started walking out to my car- still talking to Steph.
I get--not even joking--less than 5 feet away from my car (which was parked way out in Timbuck 3 and a half) and the bottom of the potato bag falls out! Potatoes roll everywhere!!!! All down the parking lot (because Smith's parking lot is slightly angled down hill) under the car, oh it was bad!!
So here I was scrambling around, looking like a complete idiot, trying to pick up potatoes and once I had picked up a couple I realized I had no place to put them because, well, the bag was broken! So I ended up putting them in my purse...yeah, dad laughed hysterically when he saw that (well, as much as dad LAUGHS so it was more of a chuckle hysterically persay....) anyway, then some nice lady helped me pick up a couple and pointed out a few I had missed and I managed to get all of them (at least I THINK it was all of them) and get home. Whew...it was sad. I mean it's really funny now, but then it was sad. Because the LAST thing you want to have happen when you've had a hard day, and spent hard earned money on food, is feel a sudden lightening in your hand when there shouldn't be a lightening there--because a lightening would imply that you somehow dropped something (which I did) and yeah...you know?
In other news school is going really well!! I'm in my second week and so far my favorite class is anatomy- I LOVE LOVE LOVE anatomy! The human body is aboslutely fascinating and I finally get more of a chance to delve in and learn! (And the cadaver lab at the U of U is GREAT!)
The classes I am taking right now are Professional Development, CPR/FA, Massage Basics, Accupressure, and Anatomy. Ah, it's fun days! Some days are more awkward than others--haha, remind me to tell you about the funny story with my good ol' homo friend sometime!-- some days more fun than others. But it's great! The drive isn't even as bad as I thought it would be!
And I signed up for an institute class--The History of the Church. Good days!

It's amazing to me that you can pick out the one bag of potatoes that will spontaneously split open - half the time I have to pull out weaponry so I can make anything involving the unopened bag o' potatoes. Sorry to hear about your troubles (again...it was pretty funny in real time ;) ) but kudos on coming up with a creative solution (purses are good recepticles...)
By the way the sentence not really sure how I felt about your statement on the cadaver lab. Honestly how amazing are those things allowed to be?
I'm so glad you finally made a blog post!!! I was wondering how you were doing in school! lol the potatoes story was hilarious! I love your blog Bonnie!! I hope school and work out for you just fine. And by the way, you really didn't have to switch Tannon on Friday. That was way nice and awesome of you, but I feel kinda bad that you had to give up your weekend to do it! You're the best Bonnie! Thank you so much for being a wonderful friend!
I'm with Stephanie on the opening of the potato bag being nigh unto impossible. What you really needed was Emmuska's donkey purse. I understand that it is just like Mary Poppins bag. Just think, if you had put everything in it, dinner would have been ready to serve with crystal glasses and REAL linen napkins.
Your enthusiam for learning warms my heart. Seldom do I hear anyone being excited about learning. Your attitude is so welcome and refreshing.
I wish you many happy hours as you study the human body. The body is truly an amazing biological machine!
PS. Thanks for posting on my blog. I LOVE your comments (this actually reads as MORE MORE MORE comments PLEASE!)
Wow! I can't say that I have ever personally had any problem at all with a bag of potatoes- opening them or them opening themselves. I must just get lucky...or maybe I make somebody else do it, so I can't remember...anyway, I am sorry to hear it! On the bright side, the cute kid that was checking you out didn't see! :)
Yay for you in classes! Keep up the AWESOME work that I know you are doing!!
Love!
