Monday's Memory
Alright here goes, I've finally joined the ranks of Monday's Memory bloggers. I've got to be honest, I'm a little scared. What if I'm not a good memorist....memorist? That's totally not a word. Ah well you'll all love me anyways right?
Now since last Saturday was my last day at Jakes, I decided that for my first Monday Memory I would reminisce about my first day at Jakes.
It was November of 2007, and I had just totaled my brothers truck, which was the whole reason I was getting a job there anyways. My first shift started at 6 and I was in training. Lisa, who owns Jakes, was in charge that night and I was terrified! I walked in, filled out my forms, read the rules, put on my nifty Jakes shirt and began a love affair that lasted for the next 3 years. (Ok well it wasn't all love, there was a whole lot of frustration, anger, hurt, worry, and fear that mixed itself in with the joy and love- but isn't that like every relationship?)
I knew I was working with the owner and I wanted to be super impressive, I did the best I could to pick up on everything quickly and get along well with everybody. It was easier than I thought at before I knew exactly what had happened Lisa was coming up to me, and telling me that I had done a terrific job and that I could go home.
I walked home in a daze. That was it? I had just completed my first day on a job where I had a W-2, a uniform, in other words, a REAL job. I was so proud! I had survived!
I carried this memory with me on Saturday night, as customer after customer came pouring into Jakes and we had our first night over 2,000 for the year 2011. I kept up a mantra that if I had survived my first night I could certainly survive my last. And I did, with no bruises, no harm, and no lasting damage to my sanity.
A part of me is sad that this stage of my life is over *fingers crossed* but a part is also excited, and ready to move on! Besides, it's not like Jakes is that far away from me :-D I'm sure I'll be up there plenty in the future.

Friday's Fact
Ok so about 95% of the blogs that I follow have two things: Monday's Memory and Wordless Wednesday. I love reading and seeing these blog posts and I have been lately toying with the idea of joining in on this. But as I was considering it I realized that something was missing. I mean, when you say Monday and Wednesday right after each other the natural word that follows is Friday. And I realized we were missing Friday! Then I thought that maybe Friday felt left out, and I hate it when inanimate things feel left out in my imagination. It just hurts my heart.
So I have decided that I am going to institute a Friday Fact. Just every Friday a random fact about absolutely anything that I find interesting I will share with all of you! It's a win-win for me because now I can not only do a Monday Memory and a Wordless Wednesday guilt free but I can get to know tons and tons of useless trivia and feel smarter! And who knows? Maybe it will catch on and my name will become famous in the blogging world!
(*snorts with laughter* Yeah, like THAT'D ever happen. First off there really aren't enough people reading my blog to make it famous and secondly I'm so sure that someone else has come up with this idea before...I'm just taking credit because I'm not SURE if anyone has. I'll just be happy if one person I know picks it up, then I'll feel special. Anyways, on to the the fact)
As my fact is really obscure and odd (a little like me) let me just quick give you a little background. The Dewey Decimal System is the system that the vast majority of libraries use to sort and organize their books. In the DDS you have 10 main systems, 10 classes in each system, and 10 sections in each class. And each book is a assigned a decimal number correlating to author and title of book. Short explanation, you might be more confused than before, sorry, but I felt it necessary to let you know that before I posted my fact...so I guess you get two facts! Yay!! Ok, fact now. (Also I promise next Fridays will be MUCH shorter)
Isaac Asimov is the only author to have a book in every Dewey Decimal category.

Moving!
I feel like I should warn you all that this post is probably going to be pretty boring. It's not a fun story or anything, it's really just an update. But it does contain some news that I am SUPERLY DUPERLY excited about!!!
Last Wednesday Mom and I flew up to Washington to help my sister and brother-in-law, Val and Jacob, move down to Twin Falls, ID. Jake got a job at the hospital there and he started Monday (late happy first day wishes Jake!!) and so all weekend we packed and sorted and cleaned out their house in Colfax, and then we drove down to Twin Falls.
Ok, I do have to interject a quick story here. So pretty much ALL of Friday I was freezing right? The door to the house had been open all day (since we were loading a truck it was kind of pointless to close it...) so the house was cold and outside was cold and I was just cold! And for some reason I never got properly warm in the U-HAUL truck that Val and I were in on our way to Twin Falls. Val was roasting but I was slightly if not more than slightly cold the entire way from Colfax to Le Grande. We stopped in Le Grande for the night and got a hotel and the first thing we did was make sure that the heater was on full blast. It was going and I was so happily warm and my bed was right next to the heater! I was in heaven. And then it like exploded!!! Ok, no it didn't EXPLODE in the traditional sense of the word, but it started heaving out heat! It was SO SO SO hot! The entire hotel room was practically molting it was so hot and I could not for the life of me figure out how to turn it down! I looked at it, turned my cell phone light on it, but I must have been extremely tired because all of the symbols on the heater looked suspiciously like a foreign language...not even a regular foreign language. They looked like a made up foreign language...like gnomic or something. So I tried sleeping on the floor but it was FREEZING down there! I mean seriously there was no happy medium between the two! So I tried the bed again and I was tossing and turning and moving and jumping and harrumphing trying to get a good spot. I think I finally found one that was pretty ok near the end of the bed, hanging a little off with my head and arms...needless to say Val and Jake chuckled when they woke up and saw me...And then the next day we headed out on the road and I was freezing all over again. Sometimes I think there is no justice in this world....Anyways, moving on...
Val and I were in one of the U-HAUL's together and we had SUCH a good time driving! We listened to the radio and mocked the stations and quoted movies and created inside jokes and played the alphabet game (silently of course, until you get to Z which you shout out triumphantly since you've just won! [Of course the other person didn't know you were playing and some people {those with ridiculously high moral standards if you ask me} consider this unfair] but it's much easier to win this way) and we also created a new version of the alphabet game, the Symbol Game. Along the same lines but much harder...and way more fun. Well, if you're with the right people.
Anyways, eventually we got to Twin Falls and we got them unloaded (I have to say, I think Val's new ward is gonna rock! No less than 5 elders showed up to help us unload the trucks. They will forever live in my heart as heroes...) and went out to dinner. Mom and I left the next day and Val and Jake have been moving in, unpacking boxes, etc...
Now, do you remember way back at the beginning of this forever long and really random post? When I said I had some news that I was SUPERLY DUPERLY excited about?! It is this! Val and Jake are now only 2 1/2 hours away from my home! This makes them the closest siblings that I have around me (Ok, that's not true, Ryan is closer but as his home changes location on a fairly regular basis and I'm never actually sure where to find him I don't really count it) and I'm so stoked!! Val and I have all these weekend jaunts planned where I come down on Friday night, we talk and giggle late into the evening, spend all day Saturday doing some deliciously wonderful thing and then I come home Saturday night or Sunday, depending on how I feel. Well I mean I have all these plans, Val will probably just accept my company graciously because, well she's a gracious lady. And I'm her sister and I'm gonna come whether she wants me to or not so she really has no choice in the matter :-D And it's gonna be so great! We're gonna go to City of the Rocks! (Multiple times as soon as the weather warms if I have my way) and we're gonna explore Twin Falls and it's gonna be so great! Who's excited?!
(Just think of it this way, even if you're not excited about Val moving because you aren't related and don't really care now I'll actually have some fun things to blog about that will be interesting and fun to read! The exact opposite of this post :-) ) Now who's excited?!

15 Mintues of Fame
Andy Warhol once said that everyone was entitled to 15 minutes of fame...or he said something close to that. I don't remember the words exactly and I'm not feeling inclined to look it up, so that's what you're going to have to be ok with right now.
Well on Tuesday I got my 15 minutes of fame. Ok, well it wasn't exactly 15 minutes. And I don't think it qualifies as 'fame' but whatever, I'm totally counting it!
Tuesday night I was working up at Jakes, at that my friends, is how it all began. At around 5:40 I was chatting to a friend through the drive window when I noticed some guy literally tearing across the Jakes parking lot. I mean he was flying through, I haven't seen anyone run that fast in a long time. I thought to myself "Huh, he's certainly in a hurry" and then dismissed it from my mind.
I finished my conversation with my friend and just as I was pulling my head back through the window my co-worker asked me if I'd seen those two guys running through the parking lot. I replied that I'd only seen one and she told me that once they reached the entrance to the parking lot they split ways, one running across and one running down the hill. We commented again on how odd it was and then dismissed it out of hand.
About 10 minutes later we saw all of these police cars driving down the hill. About the time we saw the 3rd one we thought it was getting a little unusual and started joking about how they were probably there for a drug bust because it was Ogden (at this point we hadn't connected incident A [the running men] with incident B [the police cars]).
Maybe 5 minutes after that this nice looking guy came into Jakes. He looked completely normal and I didn't want to deal with customers so I passed him off to Amber and told her to take his order. As she walked up to the front this guy casually reached into his jacket pocket and whipped out a badge. But not just any badge, he whipped out an FBI badge!!! Amber took one startled look and then dragged me up the front, told me to deal with him and faded into the background (when later questioned about her actions she could only say that she'd seen too many criminal justice movies lately).
Alright, so this guy was FBI! He gently pulled me aside and quietly told me that there had been a robbery across the street at the Educators Mutual Credit Union and asked me if I'd seen anything odd or suspicious that night. After I quickly decided that I didn't need to mention the police cars because they were probably already 'in the know' I mentioned that at about 5:40 Emily and I had seen 2 guys running through the parking lot, splitting directions. We described what they looked like and told him what direction they had each respectively gone. My descriptions and time frame matched up perfectly with the FBI and what they needed to know! Or at least it corresponded with what they already knew.
The man very seriously wrote down my remarks, had me sign my 'issued statement' (I know! I felt so formal and important!!!) then took down my name, phone number, and told me that he would keep them on file in case I was needed in court later. (I've got to be honest, I really hope it doesn't come to that....) In a daze I told him to have a good night and if he needed anything else let me know. He jokingly asked for some fries but I was in some sort of weird, FBI induced shock and I didn't respond nearly as wittily as I would have liked (in fact I believe my exact response was "What?" I know, KILLER right?)
And that was my Tuesday night! How CRAZY is that? I know it wasn't 15 minutes...well, actually it might have been about 15 minutes. And it was 'famous' or anything. No quote in the paper, no picture for paparazzi, but I think this should qualify! It was amazing! Now to only hope and pray that they catch the robbers, and don't need me again!

Tutoring
So for those of you who do not know I tutor part time, I mean, I do A LOT of things part time but tutoring is one of them.
I was nervous at first it once began (at first it once began? What am I writing here? Some sort of 18th century novel...?) but it turned out that it was easier than I thought it was going to be. Or it could be that my particular 'charges' are super nice and easy for me to teach.
But today I gave plasma and I had this huge green bandage on my arm. And my girl was fascinated!! It totally cracked me up! She was so interested in the bandage and the blood and plasma donations, it took us forever to get to the actual math and english that I was supposed to be teaching her. But once she did focus it was like some sort of crazy, at attention focus. I'm thinking I might have to donate plasma every day that I'm supposed to go in to tutor. This was nice!!
On a side note it took me FOREVER to donate the full 880 mL of plasma today, like 2 hours! Do you think I was just dehydrated? Or is my blood special? The first time it was ok but man, today took forever!!
Life is just fabulous isn't it? I'm pretty happy these days. Although I am bummed that Valentines Day is coming up. For some reason I'm really ridiculously depressed about that day this year....LAME!

Update
Hey all! I figured since I opened up the floodgate about Confusing Guy on Wednesday, or whatever day it was that I last posted, I might as well keep you all updated right? In for a penny, in for a pound type of thing. And hopefully he'll never find out this blog exists and casually read it and then discover all these things I've been saying about him (although I COULD always deny it since I never name him, but let's be honest, he'd totally see right through it, it's pretty obvious...)
So things with Confusing Guy had been getting more and more confusing because of another girl who entered in on the scene. It was getting complicated, and I like simple things, and I was just going crazy and I did NOT want to be involved in some sort of weird, love triangle thing so I finally decided that I just needed to talk to Confusing Guy.
On Thursday evening we got together, went out to dinner (since I was STARVING) and casually chatted. He did pay for my dinner, which was very nice seeing as how I was the one that had asked him to go. After dinner was over and we were aimlessly driving around Ogden I started 'the talk' (Because really? SO much easier to talk to someone in a car, you don't always have to look at their face) I gave him a brief summation of all that Other Girl had been saying, and I asked him why I hadn't heard from him since last Wednesday, that sort of thing. Finally I asked him flat out, what was going on in his head, what was he feeling and just be honest because I needed to know in order to keep my sanity, and really my sanity is so very important to me.
He was very kind, told me that currently his life was in shambles while he was trying to decide just what to do with it, you know, where and why to go to school, where to live, what to do, scholarships to try and get, that sort of thing. And that he was so busy trying to figure out who he was he really didn't want to try figuring out who he was when he was with another person. He told me he enjoyed my company immensely and he loved being friends and he would be interested to see where if goes, if indeed it goes anywhere, but right now he needs to be friends.
Which I understand, completely! I mean yeah, it was kind of a downer, but I understand.
So we drove around for a little while longer, talked, looked at the view of Ogden from some high mountain peak thing, I made him listen to my Smurf's CD (because now that I know I don't have to work on impressing him and he just wants to be friends he is going to be subjected to all sorts of things like that :-D) He had me listen to this one song he liked, you know, friend stuff! So that's where we're at right now.
It's ok I suppose, I mean I do have Lurpy Guy coming in on the scene too and I am curious as to where that will lead, if indeed it leads anywhere. And while I'm waiting I know it wouldn't hurt to try and figure out some more things about me and who I am, not to mention what I'm going to do with my life...
And no Val, Justin didn't ever ask me out, but to be honest I never expected him too. It was just the fact that his mother said that that totally made my day.
So that is my update!! Thoughts anyone?

And no Val, Justin didn't ever ask me out, but to be honest I never expected him too. It was just the fact that his mother said that that totally made my day.
So that is my update!! Thoughts anyone?
