Im sorry....Sometimes I just need to complain

So, you all get to hear me rant and rave again…The receptionist (who we are going to call Roxanne) didn’t come in to work today. I guess she called in sick. So guess who gets to sit up front until the temp receptionist comes in? That’s right ME!!!! AHHHHH…..this drives me crazy! She was late last Tuesday which meant that I had to sit at the front desk for an hour till she decided to come to work then for another thirty minuets so she could take a lunch. When I was the receptionist 1 I was NEVER late (well I think I came in like 5 min late a time or two) and I NEVER called in sick. People needed me at work…so I was there. Is that REALLY that hard of a concept?? AND when I was sitting up here last week I was informed that when anyone asks Roxanne to scan something for them she has a limit of 4 pages that she will scan. I'M SORRY YOU CAN’T DO THAT!!!! Scanning is part of the job description. She is a slacker!!! SHE DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!!!!!!!
Also, when I was up here and wanted to take a lunch there was a girl we will call Denise would sit at the receptionist desk and take calls for me for an hour so I could get a lunch. Well, she was pregnant so some days she was sick and couldn’t come in. So what I would do is wait till 1 (and sometimes 2 or 3) till people were back from their lunch then I would FORWARD the calls to them so I could take a lunch. WELL, Denise had her baby so she hasn’t been here for a while. But Roxanne still wants her noon lunch…so the departments have to take turns to cover her lunch witch is annoying but I got over it TILL I was informed that I had to sit at the front desk. She couldn’t just transfer the calls like I did. NO someone has to be sitting up at the front desk!! Last week was my departments turn to do her lunches…so I only got to take a lunch twice last week…now does that sound fair. And the reason for this is I HAVE WORK I have to get done before the end of the day. If I don’t get it done then I am swamped for the next day and Rob (my boss) gets mad.
So, again today I’m sitting at the front desk on my busiest day waiting for the temp to come in so I get do MY work! ANNOYING!!!!! They really just need to get rid of Roxanne and hire the temp that ALWAYS comes in to cover for her. AND they need to stop assuming that I have nothing to do so it is totally fine for me to sit at the front desk. I have gotten NOTHING done today that needs to be done. All I have done in the last hour is checked my facebook, my myspace and my blog. When really I should be doing Sales Data reports!!! AND because I haven’t been at my desk I haven’t had breakfast!!!
But on the better side. We are taking my car in today to get fixed and we get a rental car!!! I'm SUPER EXCITED!!!!! This means I cleaned out my car this morning which is SUPER nice…so it won’t be so cluttered when we get it back. YAY!!! I love a clean car! ALSO…my mother in-law quit her job so to celebrate we are going to Cedar City for the Shakespearean festival. The best part about it is its just us GIRLS!!! A totally girls weekend (well two days). We are going down Friday at like 3 and coming back late Saturday night. We are going to see Moonlight and Magnolias and play. Its going to be so much fun. Then Sunday Elliot and I are going to Sandy to his friends’ mission farewell, which I’m excited for because I get to meet the girl that I guess you could say was my competition. He liked her when we first exchanged numbers. So, because I'm lame like that I'm excited to meet her.
Now I just have to get through the next 4 days and then its party time!! YAY!!!! AND OH YEAH I ALMOST FORGOT!!!!! At the Scera they are doing the play Seussical: The Musical, and because I have an AMAZING husband (and a father in-law that works at the Scera) I get to go see it tonight!!! I'm SO FREAKEN EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you say....RANDOM!?!?!?!

So I’m sitting here at the front desk at work waiting for the receptionist to come back so I can go to lunch thinking what to do, what to do. So I decided to add to my blog because I haven’t for a while….sorry guys….sometimes I’m a slacker. (WARNING: I have a feeling this is going to be the most random and scattered blog you will EVER read)

Not much new is going on. We moved to Orem about a month ago…(sorry old news). I love it…it is nice to have a place of our own. We live in a four-plex we like our up-stairs neighbors. They are a newly wed couple with a baby. We have not met the other neighbors that are up-stairs, all we know about them is that it is a family and I totally just forgot where they were from (sorry). Then the neighbor that lives on the bottom next to us Elliot doesn’t like at all. He is in his mid 20’s not married but we have heard he is engaged. But when we were moving in he wasn’t very nice to Alec and Elliot so we really have not taken the time to get to know him. But back to our apartment. It has two bedrooms and a gas fire place (I'm really excited about that). I will try to get pictures up soon!

So, about a month ago I thought I was prego…and I was scared but excited. Well…I'm NOT but because of that little scare I'm super baby hungry now!!! (Don’t tell Elliot but) Earlier today I had nothing to do at work…so I was looking at baby things. They have the COOLEST things for babies. Looking made me even more baby hungry. I told my mom this and she told me to be careful. I know I shouldn’t have a baby now…I need to be married a little longer…and we want to go through the temple before we have kids. So I have to wait till at least June. But unless I get over this baby bug…I will be having a baby nine to ten months after June.

And my mind has gone TOTALLY blank…so I'm going to end here….I just hope the receptionist gets back SOON I'm HUNGRY and want FOOD!!!!!!!!

Purple, Yellow and Orange….those have been my favorite colors for YEARS!!!!

And my favorite color to wear is Black


five: Does your crush like you back?

I would have to say the only crush I have is my husband (if you can call it a crush) so I so hope so…or I'm going to have a LONG life ahead of me!!!

BTW: Yes he likes me back!

six: Whats your mood?

I'm not totally sure, I'm happy its Friday. I am really missing my old friends. I am confused. My head and my stomach hurt (maybe it is because of that NASTY energy drink Icee I just had…BAD idea!!!!)

seven: When is your birthday?

Well…for the last 22 years it has been November 6th….so I'm going to stick with that!

eight: What color shirt are you wearing?

It is LIME green, but it also has Yellow Black and White on it.

nine: If you were going on a Reality TV show, which one would it be?

Ummmmmm….I don’t know…I don’t watch much Reality TV…let me google it and see what one looks the best…BRB!!!

The Biggest Loser would be fun….because that would get me in shape

When I was younger I would have LOVED to be on The Baby Borrowers

ten: Are you imagining anyone naked right now?

No…I got this from my cousin and she said “How can you read that question and then not? Now the question is who.... Mwah ha ha ha ha” but I'm not…if I want to see someone naked I can…and even when I don’t I still see him naked…there is something about being married that makes men love to walk around the house naked!


eleven: Did you ever sneak into an R rated movie?

Nope…but Toni and I use to rent R rated movies with out our parents knowing then watch them in her room.


twelve: Ever had a near death experience?

I tell people I almost died with a fake brain tumor but the truth is I didn’t almost die…I would have gone blind WAY before I would have died.

People say being in a car with me driving is ALWAYS a near death experience…but I don’t feel that way. I don’t think I ever really have.


thirteen: Something you do a lot?

Go to work? I'm on the computer ALL day at work so I do that a lot.

Ummmm…Elliot and I are ALWAYS watching either House or Scrubs!! Oh how I love them both….all we need is season 3 of Scrubs and we will have ALL the seasons!!! But we only have season 3 of House so we need to get Season 1,2 and 4. Then after we get those 4 seasons we need to get ALL 9 seasons of Law & Order: SVU, then I want all 4 seasons of Medium

(Side note….I thought it was funny when I googled Scrubs I got this

When I googled Dr. House I got this


fourteen: How old will you be in 12 months?

So your asking how old I will be on September 5, 2009??? I will be twenty-three…2 months and 1 day away from being twenty-four


fifteen: Do you want to see somebody right now?

YES!!! I miss my old friend SO FREAKEN bad!!!! I wish my husband and my old friends got along (truthfully I don’t know if they would because we have NEVER tried)

sixteen: how many piercings?

I have one in each ear…so that would mean I have two piercings


Seventeen: when was the last time you cried?

Wednesday night, I think I was just tired because everything I was crying about was just fine (btw…my husband is amazing and loves me no matter what!!!!)


Eighteen: Who would you do anything for?

If you ask Elliot he would say anyone…and this is kinda correct. I am a VERY giving person and really do almost anything for anyone! But who would I do ANYTHING for?? That would be…are you ready for this??...Elliot, Mom, Dad, Haley, Alec, Graden, Callie, Dave, Connor, McKenna, Tracie, Mike, Grandma V, Marc, Chardelle, Anna, Nicole, Aunt Suzanne, Samie, Liz, Lexie, Ronda, Spencer, Abbey, Isabelle, McKenna, Carson. That’s all I can think of off the top of my head, but I know there are more

nineteen: Who is your hero?

I look up to a lot of people for a lot of different reasons, but my number one hero is and has always been Marc.

twenty-one: American Pie or Superbad?

Sadly I have seen them both, I saw American Pie with Toni and Superbad with Danny (I MISS HIM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!) But I really don’t like either of them, I thought they were both funny at the time…but I am a different person then I was when I saw them and really have no desire to ever see them again.

twenty-two: What's your biggest fear?

It use to be never getting married or marrying the wrong person. But I'm not married….and I know with everything in me I married the right person. I am scared of bears, crocodiles, alligators, and sharks (anything that is bigger then me that could kill me) but my biggest fears are Elliot dying, not being able to have kids, not raising my kids right, getting prego before we go though the temple and miscarrying, things like that.


twenty-five: What did you do last night?

Well…it was Elliot’s birthday (PAUSE!!!!! Potty break…..OKAY thanks….Im back now!) so Connor took us (Elliot and Me) out to eat. WAIT….back up…First after work, we went and got an estimate on my car then we went home put a load of laundry in and watch scrubs and had some personal time (as my mother in-law calls it). THEN we met Connor at Golden Corral (that’s where Elliot wanted to eat for his birthday CRAZY!!!!). After we ate we went over to the Fosters (Elliot’s moms house) and opened presents (Scrubs season 1 and Star Wars episode 1) we sat and talked for a bit then Connor and the Brazilin girl (I don’t remember her name but I REALLY like her…she reminds me of my cousin Michelle) came over and Elliot, Me, McKenna, Tracie, Connor and the Brazilin girl watched Scrubs. In the middle of the first episode McKenna went up stairs to shower (and never came back….the poop went to bed with out even telling us good night). After the second episode Connor took the Brazilin girl home. Then Callie came over and watched an episode with us. Then we decided it was time to go home. We went home and put the laundry that was in the washer in the dryer and put another load in. Then I laid down and fell asleep while Elliot watched Star Wars Episode 1 in our room.

twenty-six: What was the first thing you said this morning?

I don’t totally remember, maybe I don’t want to get up. Elliot got up and got in the shower and I remember thinking that as soon as he got out I would get up and get in. Then he got out and came and told me he was out. And I think I asked him if he was already out…but I'm not 100% sure on that.


twenty-seven: Speak any other languages?

I use to know Sign Language but I think I am losing it. L I think Elliot wants me to learn portages but I don’t know ANYTHING.


twenty-eight: Whats your favorite smell?

I LOVE (and have for 6 years) the smell of Old Spice Elliot wore it in high school and I have NEVER found a smell I like better.

twenty-nine: do you like to sleep naked?

At times…but usually I get cold.

thirty: Have you ever kissed in the rain?

I think I have…but next time it rains I think I'm going to grab Elliot and make him come kiss me in the rain. (Even though he says I kiss him too much!!! But he is just so much fun to kiss!!!)

thirty-one :Do you like rain?

I LOVE the rain!!! I love the way it makes everything look, I love the smell, I LOVE LOVE LOVE driving around splashing in puddles.


thirty-two: What are you thinking about right now?

I HATE these questions…because then I think what am I thinking…I was watching Liz and Samie put a baby basket together, so when I thought what am I thinking I thought I'm kinda baby hungry…but I wasn’t thinking that when I was first asked.

Have you ever just sat with a paper and pen and wrote down all your thoughts as they come? It is so much fun…I had to do it once in line 9th grade in English…at first I thought it was LAME but I really really liked it!!! It is…almost refreshing.


thirty-three: What should you be doing right now?

Pretending to work?? I don’t know…I'm sitting at work but I have NOTHING to do…

thirty-four: Whats your favorite memory?

I have a lot!!!

The first time I put my legs on Elliot

My first kiss and my most resent kiss were from the same person.

I married the first guy I kissed (but don’t worry…he is not the only guy I have ever kissed….I was counting my kiss list a few weeks ago and it is up in the twenty’s. But don’t you worrie…NO ONE will be added to that EVER again!!!!)


thirty-seven: Who was the last person you yelled at?

Saddly I think it was Elliot. Or my mom…but I was not yelling at my mom…I was yelling and my mom was in the room!


thirty-nine: who is the last person you said i love you to?

That would be my husband of almost 12 weeks Elliot


forty: Who is the last person that made you smile?

Myself?? I was thinking about all my favorite memories…which made me smile.
