Pantless Women

I am going to complain about one of my biggest pet peeves ever. I'm going to call this Pantless women in Utah! So this new trend has come around that has been really great. Longer shirts are much more common than they used to be, so girls don't have to worry about bending over and revealing their backside. Yay for modest clothes! but wait, what happened??? What's wrong with this you may ask?!?!?!? The problem is that now girls are substituting long shirts, for pants? or dresses? Shirts are not dresses, and especially not pantless articles of clothing. Why do so many girls at BYU think it is okay to wear a long shirt and stockings? Stockings are meant to wear UNDER SKIRTS, they are NOT PANTS! I don't know who came up with the idea, but not only is this new style immodest, it's just plain ugly. I wanted to post an example on here, but I thought it would be more humane to draw an example than to take a picture of someone without their knowledge to post. So here is my c

Wii Boxing

This last weekend I was able to borrow an extra nunchuck for our Nintendo Wii from a friend. This was the best thing that has ever happened to me. Well, in awhile anyway. Jarom and I were with his sister and brother-in-law, and we decided to put this extra nunchuck to good use by boxing each other. Up until this point, we had only boxed the computer. I cannot believe how hard I was laughing. I got to the point where tears were streaming down my face and I couldn't breathe. I had to stop and bend over for a few moments because I just could not stop laughing. I was trying as hard as I could to punch the air and get that one last good hit one, while I saw my sister-in-law out of the corner of my eye just hacking away at nothing. For a moment, I thought she might end up hitting the TV itself! We looked like the biggest losers ever, but it was so freakin funny I can't even recreate it here. You'll just have to try it yourself. Or come over to my house and try it. You won

Trip to the Sun

So this past weekend, my folks came into town and we all headed down to Moab (otherwise known as the Sun, since it's probably just as hot) to ride four-wheelers as one big happy family. Little did we know what we were in for... So, it all starts when my parents left Washington. They made the trip in two days so as to not tire themselves out, and play in Idaho with their quads before coming here. I guess I should back up a little further, actually. A few months ago, they bought a third quad, apparently just for this trip, cuz there would be 6 of us. They also just bought a toy hauler. This is basically a camper for quad riders, you stick your quads in there for the road, and then you pull them out and sleep in it at night. Ok, so lots of money on these two important items. Now we get to the part about them traveling here. They left on Tuesday. By Tuesday evening, one of the tires on the beloved toy hauler blew. Crap. They wanted to fix it, but all tire stores, (specifically

Work #1

Alright, here is my first fun work story, though it's not very long. First of all, I work for BYU Independent Study. We have students in our classes all over the world, but especially all over the US. Anyways, all of our classes (well, 99% of them) have a final exam that is mandatory to pass in order to pass the class. This final must be mailed through the mail to a proctor or testing center for the student to take it. We never email or fax them, we HAVE to mail them. We can even use FEDEX so it gets there the next day! Ok, so this older lady called in the other day. She was taking a course and had ordered her final a few days before. It was going up to Idaho I believe. It wasn't there yet, and she was furious. She very clearly stated that USPS never takes that long and so it is our fault. I tried to explain to her that USPS had given us a a guarantee timeline of two weeks, so that was the only thing we could give her. Our test packages are much larger than a regular letter, so

I am born

Alright, I finally cracked down and set up a blog for myself. It was actually my Jarom's idea, he thinks I need a hobby outside of schoolwork. Honestly, I think the only things I'll be able to put on here are stupid work stories of incompetent people. I will try not to disclose much information if I rag on someone though, just so I don't get in trouble...hopefully. But honestly, I hear some pretty stupid questions at work that must be shared!
