Day Four of No Phone...

As the title would suggest, yes I am still without a cellular telephone. And yes it really has only been four days. It feels like a year. Such long days of isolation from the outside world. Although today, I sat with someone at lunch that I probably would've just waved at and moved on because I would've just gotten a text from someone that I could meet. It was nice, so being out of communication is making me more social. Instead of just texting Shaugh, I went by her place of employment to ask a question. Again, more social. The biggest problem is that I'm now completely oblivious to the time. I refuse to wear a watch for who knows why. If I stop you in the hall to ask what time it is, don't think I'm weird.

This whole episode spurred the most impulsive ebay buy of my life. Sure I've bought my fair share of ebay auctioned items, but I've always shopped around and bid on the items with at least a few hours left. However, this particular item (a new phone) only had 2 minutes left. Yes two minutes. I quickly scanned the page and went to place a bid. *gasp* I wasn't signed in! I signed in to find that I then had 25 seconds left. I placed my bid and it was mine. Oops! Ebay will surely be the death of me, (by my husband) I can't stand to be outbid. My competitive side rarely comes out. These times are the exception.

Happy second day of school everyone. I will have to save that rant for another post. I don't expect it'll be too far out. Let the procrastination begin! Sometimes facebook just doesn't cut it.

The Last Weekend of Summer

*Disclaimer: this is Stan writing, not Chelsey. She wanted me to make sure to write that.*
Well, the summer is over as of tomorrow. Sad day. We had a really good summer. Chels already blogged about the cruise. We basically just relaxed all summer. It was a nice change from last semester, when we were busy every stinking day. We tried to go camping a few times, but I guess the powers that be don't want us in the outdoors. Every time we were going to go, we either decided to do something else, or it didn't work out. Like this weekend, we were going to rent a kayak from the ORC at USU and go up the canyon to go camping and kayaking. We got a late start and didn't get up the canyon until about nine thirty or so, and every campground in the entire canyon was packed. It was nuts. So we went kayaking at Hyrum Dam yesterday instead. It was fun, chasing the speedboats around to ride their wake. But, it was a great summer, and we're not looking forward to the next four months of school, but that's life.

It's been 7 months! Hello world!

Hello internet world! I was reading people's blog and then I remembered.. hey wait, I have a blog too! My problem is I don't have any cute kids to put on my blog or any cool news to talk about. However, the latest in our lives is this:
- My mom is visiting for a couple weeks! yay!
- I've driven to Ogden/Salt Lake/Draper about a million times in the past few weeks
- we went on an AMAZING cruise about a month ago
- We had our one year anniversary 3 months ago
- I quit Sports Academy!! and now work at the Beehive Grill (it's going in where Blackstone used to be) and "I don't know when it's opening." that's what I've been told to say. I just had orientation today and i'm way excited.
- We're looking for some camping buddies so let me know if and when you want to go!!

Dudes and Dudettes

If you can't tell from the title, this is Stan. I'm supposed to post a blog deal here. So I've noticed something odd the past few months. In the bathroom, on the paper towel dispenser, there is an 'emergency feed' nob. Going along with the idea of this 'emergency feed,' the first thing that should happen whenever something goes horribly wrong is that we go turn the nob! Car wreck? TURN THE NOB!! Earthquake? No problem, TURN THE NOB!! It's the solution to all our problems! Now if only the guys in charge of the economy would just wash their hands after using the bathroom . . .

Check out the Blingin' Diamonds!!!

Nice eh? It didn't look like that in the preview... It will change shortly. So the Career Counselor lady said I should be a Special Education Teacher. Ironically enough, that's what my current "official" major is. Hm. It's a sign. Dangit.

Really I should be leaving for work...

Let's talk about the election results. Wait... let's not. So I really should be leaving for work right now. But I don't wanna! Eating hershey kisses and watching friends just sounds more appealing. So I'm going to a career couselor today. I had to take the aptitude tests a few days ago and I didn't even study! Those things are so frustrating because I know what I should say if I'm a shy person and if I were a really outgoing person. But it depends on the situation! I'm somewhere in between so I just know I failed my aptitude test and will forever be wandering through college majorless. This semester my grades are mediocre AT BEST, so we can just kiss that scholarship good bye. So, in summary, the cold sucks, school is cool, i'm late for work and I'm getting counseling. ;) enjoy the random photo I found
