You're never to old to build a sandcastle.

The last week before school starts.

So...remember how i was going to blog everyday this week about my work and life? Remember how that didn't happen apparently.But in my defense after monday my life got crazy busy, which was a good thing. I tend to be in a better mood when i'm busy.
Tuesday i worked from 7am-3pm after I got off i went home, ate food, and ended up texting Mike because while attempting to help my roommate tune her guitar i accidentally snapped one of her strings, and I've never learned how to string a guitar. So I take it to Mike, who then comes back with me to my apartment to give maddi (the new and awesome roommate) her guitar and bug Megan until we decide to go bug Kylie who was moving into her new apartment.
We then get wind of a concert and free Aggie ice cream at the amphitheater. so naturally we have to go. Then we go back to Mike and Justin's where Justin is now home. We sit around chat and decide that we should try and convince Kylie that Mike and Megan are going out. the plan ultimately failed because Mike couldn't keep it going. We had her convinced until he told her after we all left. Lame. But, their new place has a hot tub(kylie, megan, krist, and Alli.) so it was decided that the next night we should go hot tubbing.
So now we are on Wednesday, jumping back to Tuesday we had a bnunch of crazy annoying people come through the drive-thru.Back to Wednesday. So after getting off work at Seven, Chris comes and looks at my car (my headlights are being wacky) and i ask him if he wants to go hot tubbing, he opted out. I head over to Kylies, and who else is at her apartment? MEGAN!!!! (my old roommate, not my now roommate megan.) I was so happy to see her. So we learned that the hot tub closes promptly at 10pm...lame. So we go over to Mike and Justins to play games. I leave early because i had work at 6 in the morning. But Megan invited a bunch of us to Bear Lake to her parents time share thursday through friday. Well i worked until 2, which worked because kristi was moving up and couldn't come to till later. So we drove up together after work. Work on Wednesday was also amazing. I was first in a great mood because i was going to Bear Lake (finally) and then towards the end of my shift I'm back in the whole by myself and this one lady comes through (and basically you get the abbreviated version because i don't want to type the whole thing) Anyway, i'm doing my job the way i always do it, trying to be happy and helpful. This lady pulls up to the window after I took her order (i remembered taking hers) and i tell her her total (15 something) she hands me a twenty and goes "do you know who I am?" I'm thinking 'Oh crap, this is someone i've met before and don't recognize.' so i go "I feel like i should." she goes "I'm the owner."
My heart drops. then she goes "And I just want you to know that you did everything perfectly and you were just lovely." I didn't know what to say, i'm pretty sure i mumbled a thank you of some kind but i was mostly just in shock. So i am trying to continue to be pleasant and polite and what not and i go to hand her her change she counts it then hands it back to me saying "this is for you, thanks for doing a wonderful job" it was $4 something. I was stunned, i managed another thank you and a have a great day. but that was pretty much amazing.
After i got off work me and Kristi headed up to Bear Lake where we met up with Megan, Kylie, Mike and Maddi. and Megan's parents. We get out on the boat and we start tubing, which was SO MUCH FUN!!!!!! Interjection real quick, bear lake is so blue i still can't believe it. I was on the water and I can't believe it. It was incredible. best kept secret in the world. back to tubing. So me and Kylie share the tube at one point and stay on decently long, then go again. At one point i went by myself and i would like top submit that i stayed on longer than everybody else. It took them a decent amount of time to get me off the tube, the second time I went by myself they never got me off. :) when i got back on the boat Mike said he was surprised at how long i stayed on. I would like to throw out to the world that i'm not completely lacking in skills, i just have random ones. But basically it was so much fun.
After boating we go out to dinner and we order an Old Ephraim pizza. (its 18inches across) and if the last two slices had been flavors that i liked i totally could have finished it off. I was starving, I hadn't eaten since 9 that morning. oh well. it was still awesome. then we go back to the condo...and we were locked out. they had left the keys in the condo and Kylie had locked the door.
Well they went to have someone open the sliding door to the porch (climb the fire escape up to the porch thing) but...Maddi had locked that too. So i turn to Kylie and ask if she had dead bolted the door. she hadn't. so i sift through the card i have in my wallet and find one that isn't important and start trying to card the door. I get it after a few minutes, it was a tricky door so it actually took about ten. But as i was trying Kylie goes "does that really work?" me. "yeah, i've done it before" And sure enough i got us into the condo.
The next morning i have to leave by ten to be able to get back to work on time. The last day of work in my forty hour work week. And they left me in the hole the entire time. 8 hours. Which i didn't mind at all, i like the hole. I just started getting a headache about four hours in and the last four hours felt like 8 hours. At about 7:50 (i thought i was off at 8) my manager comes back and apologizes for leaving me back in the hole. and says that after Erin gets off her break i can go up to counter for the last hour of my shift. I go "aren't i suppose to be off at 8?. Long story short i had read the schedule wrong. I felt like someone had punched me in the stomach. So i go groan a little and accept it. At 8 Erin comes back from break and they send me up front where i apparently had a guardian angel. They were slightly over staffed, so i got to go home early. I was so happy. it pretty much made my life.
After that i went to Mikes and then we went to go kidnap Amy, who has moved back to Logan. Accept she didn't tell me which building or what apartment number, and she wasn't answering her phone. So me and Mike left many random messages simply because we could. We eventually find her and all of us (kylie and megan and kristi joined us) going to first dam and playing capture the flag. it was fun.
then that leaves today. I got my car inspected and went to the "lunch with your bishop" at the toaster. Now i think i'm going cliff jumping in about 45 minutes. I've never gone before...so we'll see if i actually jump off any cliffs or if i chicken out. Either way, it should be fun. :)
