Happy Easter everyone,
Guess what I am going to do, that is right! Go to church then to work. that will be exciting!
Today was another crazy day in the store, because of easter we had a bunch of guests come in. Then we are also doing easter baskets which are super cute and fun to make. Too bad I have been stuck on stocking duty and will probably not get to make any of them. Tomorrow is the last day though. so we shall see if we are the top seller again for year seven.
Besides that I got another comic drawn out and am trying my hardest to improve though I am not sure how I'm going to do that.
That is all that I can think up of today.

April 20ish
These past two day's I have had off, and I have tried to use them accordingly. First off I updated my website with a new template and finished early the illustration I needed to do for illustration Friday.
Today (21st) I went to the florida Mall, did you know that we have an M&M store, yeah it has characters and everything. It was super cool, I was about to get a picture with the M&M guy when I realized I was by myself and I really didn't want to get close to the scary creature.
I was able to find shorts that are long enough which allowed me to toss my other shorts which just so happened to have a hole in them right in the region of the buttocks. So sadly I was not able to use them in a way that would be recyclable.
Oh well.
I also bought myself an Ipod, finally. My current Ipod holds about 30gb of music and lasts a whopping hour and a half. With the new one I will be able to put all my music on it and it will last 36 hours. Can you imagine it, 36 hours and I don't have to listen to the psycho's on the bus. I can listen to all my Harry Potter books while I am working on art. Oh the amazing possibilities!
Anyways I work tomorrow which is a good thing cause I now don't have ANY money and will at some point need to buy food and stuff. But yeah I think that I am going to start saving more of my pay check for master's degree. not that I'm making that much but a little at a time wont hurt and hopefully help.
That is all for now. Hope everyone's lives are bright and beautiful. Ta ta for now

April 17th
The 17th was great at work, we are starting to make Easter Baskets for Easter this coming weekend. I got to make two of the presentation one and that was fun because I was allowed to use my creative side. I miss doing that.
Also we had a couple of people that were from Lyon, France visit the store so I was able to speak french with them and it felt wonderful. At first I could speak well, because I was so excited about speaking french and with real french people not these crazy Canadians who only pretend to really speak french. They knew the location where I used to live and I also got to talk about my mission. The whole thing was amazing.
Then at the end one of the other workers got sick and went home. So I had to pick up the slack and close down two registers at night. That was hectic but I felt alive with things to do.
Oh update on my life and the internet. We had a fight last night and one of us went to bed angry while the other decided to leave. So I don't have internet in my apartment anymore at the moment. But thankfully I have locations where I can visit with other internet providers. Its okay cause my internet at home is quite lazy and slightly retarded. I just don't know how I will ever be able to connect to skype so my home teaching will just have to wait. oh well. Okay I need to go and distract myself so all have a stupendous day :)

April 15th or whatever
Hello... yeah sorry....
well, my friends from BYUI are going home today and I have to say I am missing everyone already. One of my good friends Kayli was one of them. We tried to go out to do miniature golf for a last fling but yeah that is a fun story.
So here it is: We set out to get to the Blizzard Beach winter wonderland golf course. We started in Magic kingdom, the day was beautiful, I had a blue bird on my shoulder. Well as soon as kayli got off work for the last time we headed to the transportation information guy to ask which bus we should take to get to the golf course. He told us we had to get to a resort and from there catch another bus. When we got to the resort, we stopped the downtown Disney bus and the driver told us to catch a bus to animal kingdom to catch another bus to get to the golf course. I didn't want to commute the whole way and there was a service phone at the stop. So we called the front desk and they said that we should take a downtown Disney bus. I told her we just talked to a downtown Disney bus and they told us to catch an animal kingdom bus, she said that the animal kingdom buses were not going cause the park is closed and we should take a Hollywood studios bus because it is closer. We took her advice and waited for a Hollywood studios bus and when that bus arrived the driver stopped us and asked where we were going. When we told him he said not to take his bus because Hollywood studios is closed. At that point we gave up, we waited for the next bus to stop and we would just go to the park it was headed to just so we could do something before the fireworks. Well the next bus was for Epcot and as we sat down the speaker on the bus informed us that we would first be stopping at Blizzard Beach and then we would go to Epcot. We just laughed about it and said forget it, we were hungry and just wanted to eat in Germany and CHina and so we did. It is safe to say I have lost all confidence in the transportation system over here and can't wait to get back into a town where I know it well enough that I can walk there if I really wanted to.
Anyways besides that amazing story I don't have much to talk about, I am going to buy a new Ipod next week after my next paycheck and I am super excited about it, we get free engravings but I really don't know what I should engrave on it, I was thinking of a scripture or some inspirational quote or something so random all it can do is leave you wondering about my sanity. hehe this aught to be fun.
Well hopefully I will have some musings tomorrow, till then :_)

April 10th
Today was Sunday, and I was blessed enough to be able to go to all of church. The testimonies were strong and the lessons were very good. The RS lesson was on lying, the teacher asked us what the world would be like if everyone was perfectly honest. I commented that Disneyland would probably cease to exhist as it being based on 'magic'. We had a pretty good discussion and somehow they tied in Santa Claus and it being okay to lie to children. In the end, I had to relent and call it okay.
On the way back from church, I was in a group of me, my roommate, and this guy I had an interesting discussion with a few weeks prior. That discussion had been burned into my memory and a waste of my time even though I was stuck on a bus and had no where else to go. Coming back to the present, this kid kept asking me what he should do for his future, he wants to be a producer but bYUI doesn't have a film major. So I told him that he should find another school, he said no he wants to stay at bYUI. So I told him he then has to get an MFA in film or something but he just was refusing everything I was telling him he should do. Most of the time I just said to figure that out for himself. He acted as though he was a premie, but he has been on a mission. Ugh, I wish I could truly explain the whole situation. I just wanted to laugh the whole time but I realized that would be rude so I didn't.
After church I thought I would get some reading done but passed out on my bed instead and woke up in time to catch my bus. Work went quickly and I got home in time to catch the ending of the film my roommate was sleeping through. Night to all!

April 6th
Yeah for Days off!!!
And surprisingly enough I was productive and got a few things done, not everything that I wanted to do but plenty that I needed to get done.
The morning was crazy because we had another of those loud scary thunderstorms, I mean it sounded like bombs were going off outside. It was cool but scary. Almost like when we were getting tornado warnings a week ago but at least it will last only a day, this time.
I made homemade Oreo cookies and my roommate and I had a wonderful discussion on how it would be wonderful it we could just die from cookies. It would be the most pleasant of deaths.
For the afternoon I had a friend invite me to go to fantasmic with her, and normally to get into this show you have to show up an hour early just to get in line. I thought I had time to run down to Downtown Disney to get a pretzel and grab a bus to Hollywood, but there are no connecting buses to Hollywood, just one to the resort so I had to do that. This left me with only a half an hour to get to my friend. I went to the front where there was a line already forming for the next show. Crazy but the guy at the front of the line gave me a pass so that I could get in and she was on the very front row.
Finished off the day with Tangled, (love that movie) and also attacking my roommate in her bed (she deserved it)
till next time

April 4th and then some
Hello and long time no see,
let me see if I can sum up what I have been up too for the past few weeks.
Well for the most part it was spent with my gorgeous family, we went to the parks and Harry Potter World and I got to see my nieces and I got to meet my nephew. They had a blast and it was so good to spend the time with them.
The next few days after they all departed it rained, both physically and emotionally. I returned home and the first thing my roommates commented on was how loud of an eater I was. Then work was crazy with the schedule being all over the place. They also sent me on a wild goose chase in the early morning because someone forgot to tell me that the behind the scenes tour at the haunted mansion got canceled. It wasn't too bad cause I got to walk around the Magic Kingdom when there was no crowd and I got to see all the lights so it was actually quite nice.
Fun conference weekend, because of my work I wasn't able to go to any of the sessions except the last and I barely made that one. Originally my manager asked me to extend on Sunday which rarely happens, after I first agreed I realized by saying yes I would not be able to go to any of conference. So I went back to my manager and asked him not to extend me. He said that he really needed me so would I be willing to extend for a little bit. Well this gave me an hour to get to the church. In any other location that would be fine but for where I was at, it normally took 40 minutes to get to the bus (that I could miss and wasted 30 more minutes) that can get me to the location where I can be picked up for church which I will not have a ride. So as soon as I was off work I booked it to the docks at the lake, took a boat to the neighboring resort where I caught a monorail just in time to get the TTC where I was supposed to catch my bus to get to the church bus stop. I missed the bus, but it was late so I actually caught it. When I got to West Clock (the place where we normally get rides to church) I started walking, I had fifteen minutes to get to the building and it is normally a five minute drive. It was hot and there was no walkway just grass and a couple of time I had to jump over ditch which possibly had crocodiles in it but I made it to church with five minutes to spare. Miracle, it was awesome! I'm downloading the rest of conference so I can listen to it on my way to work and all that.
But back to the present today is my Friday, I am going to have the next two days off. I am hoping to get many things done and be very productive. Mainly because I feel like I have been playing for much too long.
Today was good though, work went pretty well. I had one crazy lady get angry at me because the machine charged her 4 dollars in tax. What was I supposed to do and really did she have to feel like she was exempt? oh well the crazy ones make life interesting. After I got off work today I ran over to the magic Kingdom to get a Pineapple flout to start my weekend off with a bang and on my way back I ran into three very loud but awesome people. Listening to their stories made me laugh, cringe and cry. That is one cool thing I think is great from this program: meeting people. Too bad most of the time I am too tired to talk. It should all work out then, I'll just keep myself hopped up on sugar. Now I am home and ready for bed....or until my roommate gets off the phone we shall see.
