Pop Rocks on the Ice

My day started out with playing games, watching bald eagles and napping. Nothing mch happened until the afternoon. I let myself sleep in after a late night last night. I got cleaned up and got my stuff together. Laura and the rest went swimming, so i was the last to leave. I decided to not eat anything before I left. I headed to the store to get some Take 5 candy bars for my custom cake from Coldstone Creamery. Harmon's didn't have any though, so i decided to go with Baby Ruth instead. I bought 3 king size and one normal sized candy bar for the cake because they don't have Baby Ruth at Coldstone. I walked around the store for a little bit before waiting for the bus. When I got to the mall I headed straight for where Cinnabon and Cold Stone are. I got things done pretty quick. I ordered a yellow cake with peanut butter cookie ice cream, buttercream frosting, Baby Ruth candy bar cut up and custom writing. I grabbed a raspberry blended lemonade before I went for a late lunch.

I knew what I wanted, and that was italian food from Villa Italian Kitchen in the mall food court. i decided to get spaghetti instead of pizza. It came with one of the amazing bread sticks, so it was more than worth it. After I ate I decided to do a bit of walking around town.

I listened to some of my stations on Pandora and walked around the mall a little before going to Michael's craft store Best Buy and Barne's and Noble. I didn't look at anything inparticular at Michael's, but I did look at laptops at Best Buy and I hung out at Barnes and Noble. I really want to get a new laptop and their prices aren't bad. As for the bookstore, I didn't do much besides look at some educational books and do some stuff on my phone because they have wifi and I wanted to see how the Bald Eagles were doing.

I went back to the mall where I noticed a new snow cone / shaved ice place called "Snowie". I got half mango and half cherry. Their stuff is pretty good and they got so many flavors! They even added Pop Rocks on top for free! Not long after this I was picked up by Laura and we went home.

Rain Shower

Today when it rained I just stood out in it for a fe minutes and let myself get soaked. It has been a long tie since I have done that. I remember times when I would go outside with my friends and we would do it together. There was numerous times when we would play in deep puddles and even one time hen we had one up to our knees close to what used to be the canal. Some people might say playing there was dangerous, but we were right below it 25 or 30 feet from the canal at the bottom of a hill. It was a blast when the cars would come and splash us. I love memories like that. There was 15 or 20 of us and we had so much fun.

Before it rained I was outside walking again and the storm came so fast. I actually did a live stream of me walking, but I don't think I'll post it here. It started out as just dark clouds on the side, but they came over fast and then the wind suddenly kicked in and decided on lap 3 that it was a perfect time to live stream. It was also getting dusty, so the mountains looked really neat. I don't like windy rain very much when it is cold, but when it's hot it is really fun. It didn't start raining until I was on my way back to the house though. It was just a sprinkle until a couple of minutes after I got inside the house.  I was back outside within 10 or 15 minutes and that is hen I stood out in the rain.

This rain felt especially great to me today because I walked to the store earlier to get a Fiji water. I got the 1.5 quart one and drank it in 10 minutes. I was so parched and really wanted that. I am not going to start buying ti every day obviously, but once a week doesn't seem to hurt. I might buy a couple of cases when I got o school again and drink them every other day, but not for a while. I actually stuck it in the ice cream freezers when I was at the store because I wanted to make it colder. It worked pretty well, but it made me laugh seeing a Fiji water with all the ice cream. I also looked at all the other water at the store. There is quite a lot of it and I want to try a few more. Before I understood that all water isn't the same I would never never done this, but it's so fun now.

We had chef salad for dinner tonight.

I've also been playing around with cam toy tonight.

I should probably mention that I went to Pottermore and got sorted into my Ilvermorny house. I am so glad that J.K. Rowling is expanding the Harry Potter universe. I sorted myself latelast night when I couldn't sleep. Turns out I'm in Thunderbird house. I might as well remind everyone that I'm also in Ravenclaw at Hogwarts, so it seems perfect. I love Harry Potter so much.

New Beginnings at Work

Today is the first official day we have a new manager at Cinnabon. Trever also works at Cold Stone so I alraedy know him. It's going to be interesting to see how he improves things. We got a new lemonade machine last week. I will miss Jan, but she has to move. I'm not afraid of embracing change, but it will be sad to see both of the people that hired me leave the job. Maddie has already left and now Jan is going.
I had to wake up early to get ready for the meeting. I chose not to have breakfast because I knew that we would have Jamba Juice at our meeting. Instead of waking Laura up I decided to just take the bus to the mall as usual. I made it just in time and clocked in. We get paid for going to the meetings. We all sat at tables and were handed a list of things we were going to talk about. I won't give too many details because I don't know how Steve, the owner would feel about it. I'd guess there was about 16 or 17 of us there including a new employee. I think his name is Marco, but I forgot so I might be way off there. When we got started we talked about the new sample shift, dress code, what to do with $100 bills, cleaning, and other basic functions of the store and how we can improve sales. There is a contest going on now to see how many packs we can sell this next month. The person who sells the most will get a bonus onn their pay or a gift card or something, I forgot exactly.  During the meeting Steve went and got our Jamba Juice orders. I got Panut Butter Chocolate Love. The funny thing was that most people got mango. I usually get mango too, but wanted something a little different this time.

After the meeting I hung around and looked at the cake book near the entrance. My birthday is in six days so now was the perfect time. I'm getting a large round cake that is made with yellow cake, peanut butter cookie dough ice cream, Take 5 Candy bar, and I haven't decided on the frosting or what coloring I want the Happy Birthday Liahna to be.I know that I will have it decided by later this week when I order it.

Sincethe mall isn't open yet after our meetings I headed to Barnes & Noble. Out meetings are from 8 to 9:30 usually and the mall opens at t10:00am. I looked at some coloring books and this artist tile sketchbook that I want along with it's tile album. It's basically what it sounds like, squares you sketch and color on. They are about 4 inches long and wide. There are a few different things in the sketch book, but I'll show it to you when  I get it in the future.

I went to Starbucks next and got a Passion Tango herbal tea lemonade with mango flavoring and an orange and cranberry scone. These items are probably my favorite on the menu right now. To be honest, i think the scone is more like a muffin in taste and texture but it's still great!

Instead of leaving after I got my order I stayed and used their wifi to watch some Bald Eagles. I am waiting until the eaglet I am watching fledges before I do an actual post about them.

After this I walked around the mall, went to Michael's craft store and walked around, and started looking around at laptops. I looked at R.C. Willey, Best buy, and even went on a lon walk south from the mall to PC Laptops. If I had a lot of Money I'd probably have PC laptops customize a laptop for me, but as things are now I think I will settle for a regular but sturdy 15 or 17 inch laptop from Best Buy. I did keep the card of the guy I talked to at PC laptops just in case though. It was a short visit, and a hot walk to and from, but I'm glad I went there anyway. I actually found one there I like, it's a 17 inch and is only $1200 dollars. I really want to get something like that after I pay off my cello and phone. my computer is really important for school and other various things. The one I am typing from right now is old and the battery is irreplaceable so I can't even bring it anywhere without a plug. This is annoying at school since I like sitting in the front middle of every class.

When I got back home I saw that J.K Rowling has revealed more about the North American school Ilvermorny. It's the north american school of witchcraft and wizardry. I am a huge Potter nut as most of you know so I love learning new things about that universe. Other than this I played Tetris, watched more eagles, random stuff on Netflix and had tacos for dinner. I actually nearly missed out on the tacos because I took a long nap and slept through dinner. I ended up making 2 in the end not to long ago.  Anyway, that's all.

(video) Why I Celebrate My Birthday Twice

Mini Panther

Today was a pretty normal Sunday. I actually don't feel any need to post what I did so I will just post A picture of Toast, out outdoor black cat. She is awesome. I'll get more pictures some other time. I took this picture right after i got home from church, we had our fourth Sunday feast after church today. We had chicken alfredo, fruit and really great strawberry lemonade.

Chemical Burns

I slept in again today until the early afternoon. I know I should stop it, but I also feel like I sometimes push myself too hard. I know I can't do this forever, but I feel like for now resting is the right thing to do. I will most likely pick up my activity again soon. I think I' going to start with my eating habits though.

I knew I was going to swimming after work for a ward party, so i dawned my new swim suit underneath my work clothes. I only had to work two hours today, so I got to the pool party just in time. NOthing really interesting went on at work, so I'll skip explanations. it was rather slow and I didn't have much to do. The one thing I will tell you is that I think my skin reacted to the new sanitizer in combination with the hand soap we use and the chlorine in the pool later. When I got to the house that the party was at I naturally went straight for the pool. In fact I was actually the first one in. there were some pretty cool floaties. I'm going to post a video at the bottom. There was a pretzel, a giant smarties, a whale, a donut some noodles, and a few others. There was a lot of people at the party and we all had a blast. I am glad that I got to go tonight. We had hotdogs, hamburgers, chips, potato salad, and Shasta. I didn't drink the Shasta because it had splenda in it. We mostly just stayed outside, went on the slide, I sun bathed a bit (more like standing), and other stuff I don't have to explain. I prefer not to over explain things.

Near the end we made cotton candy and I ate four of them. I love cottonn candy, especially when it's free. I had to have a limit however. You can see it below, it's cool. 

Now, to the main subject of this blog. Like I said above the chlorine from the pool, the hand soap and the dish sanitizer from work started a bad skin reaction. At the pool my hands felt extra dry and they started to burn a little in the pool. I knew at that point there wasn't much I could do, so I just went ahead and kept swimming. I was going to stay at the party for a movie, but my hands felt really uncomfortable. They were burning and dry and I didn't feel like staying outside to watch a movie anymore. I went home and put some lotion on them, but this was a huge mistake. The lotion also reacted and my hands felt like I got a really bad sunburn. Washing off the lotion was excruciating. I had to clean up to make sure all the chemicals were off of my skin and then mom told me to put aloe gel on my hands. Mom pretty much confirmed I had chemical burns. The aren't super terrible, but they are uncomfortable. When I put the gel on it burns though. the gel makes them feel pretty good when it dries. Anyway, I've just been taking it easy tonight.

Dark Waltz

Chocolate Chip Waffles

Today was pretty laid back. I started officially working on my math. This is something I'm going to be doing all summer. One of the things I am happy about is that it looks like I'm starting to comprehend fractions a lot more now. I still have to be careful to have a cool head. There isn't much to tell today besides this actually. I did make chocolate chip waffles however. I have started playing around with the basic recipe I got off the internet from Allrecipes.com

The Deck is Complete!

Today I finally got my missing math book! I was missing the fourth one that I'll post below. I think the math books I have are cool because they have cards printed on the front. I think UVU was very clever when they thought that up for their special ones. It cost me over $100 dollars to get the book, but I want to be able to get to Math 1010 or higher without going through the classes. I am by no means done collecting all the math books UVU has, but I do have the ones that will help get me out of the lower math classes. Everything below Math 1010 doesn't count towards core credit. I was going to also fix my FAFSA (financial aid for school) so I could get it again, but I forgot to apply for it. Naturally I'm going to do that immediately so I can get it straightened out. Vocational Rehab has been paying for school, but they want me to at least try and get financial aid from the school again. I am glad I went to One Stop at school and asked then what I needed to do or I probably wouldn't have remembered I needed to apply again. For pictures of the books there will be some near the bottom.

So I got the book and decided to go walk around Walmart for a while for fun. I like to do this when I am around because they have a lot of interesting stuff. I've always loved walking around stores as you can guess from my usual high activity at the mall. I didn't eat anything before I left, so I looked at the food and even thought about getting a Fiji water when I was there, but decided against it because I felt like I'd like something at the mall or around that area more.

I ended up going to Cinnabon after walking a bit around town deciding what i was going to eat. I wanted to get a blended lemonade. It's basically a lemonade slushy. They put lemonade and ice in a blender. It's simple and amazing. I did end up getting Italian at the food court. I have fallen in love with Villa Italian kitchen. I got a bread stick and a Stromboli from there. The Stromboli was chipotle chicken and I got an alfredo dipping sauce. Everything was great. 

When I got home I removed the 5th book from the binder that it was in with number 3 and I put number 4 in. I still have to get a new binder for number 5 now. Here are the pictures.

I put book five in book four's plastic wrapping until I can get a new binder. For the rest of the night I've been just playing games like tetris, watching bald eagles, and listening to audio books. It was definitely an awesome day today.

Feeling Fancy

Today was pretty simple. I slept in and went to the store. I don't know what it is, but lately I haven't felt like doing a whole lot. I needed to get more shampoo and deodorant and so I went to the store. I hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch yet, so I decided to get some salmon and pesto pasta. It was so great, totally worth the investment all the way. I also got some Fiji water which by the way I love a lot now. Mom posted something yesterday about how the silica in the water can help purge your system of aluminum. I've never had a reason to drink expensive water until now. Apparently the PH of most bottled waters sucks as well. Fiji is actually one of the best and definitely better than Disani and Aquafina. I think they actually add salt to their water so you'll be more thirsty. The whole business is pretty dirty in my opinion.

I did go for a walk, but it was only four laps around the track because it was so hot today. I love the heat, but if I don't have the right clothes on it can get miserable. It was more bearable today because of the water.

Drinking the Ocaen

It was a hot start to this week. I just mostly went for walks today and drank a lot of water. I'd guess over a gallon today, it was crazy. That's what happens when you love going outside like I do. I forsee a lot of sunburns in my future probably, or at least a lot of tanning. I am already pretty tan. I love the heat. i used to hate to tan, but I hate sunscreen so I've given up on staying like a porcelain doll. That was pretty wise of me I guess. I don't miss the days when I was depressed and inside all the time. Even if it means I sometimes feel like I could drink the ocean I feel like going outside is a big part of me now.

The Big Three

Today Sam (my nephew) turned three! We had coconut cream pie, and chocolate strawberry mini cupcakes. Sam opened presents like pay doh, a play cleanup set, and other things. It was pretty fun and Sam was so cute. Other than this I took a nap and went to church. I honestly don't really feel like writing today, so I'll just leave it like this. I have a busy week ahead of me. Oh yeah, the desserts were made by Kayla (Sam's mom). I knw that can be a bit confusing because my niece is also named Kayla. Otherwise i wouldn't bother emphasizing that.

Chaos at Cinnabon

Today when I worked it was chaos the first 3 hours. I work four hours, so that is nearly the entire time. I guess the person that had the morning shift didn't get a lot of things done so that left a lot for us. First off it was a big mess when Rachel, Heidi and I all got in at 3. There was nothing in the roll proofer, none of the cut up centers of the roll were made, and there were no cinnastix for a start. Oh yes, there was some minions on the hot plate, so at least we had those to give our customers. Rachel basically rolled the entire time and Heidi and I took care of everything else. The cleanup was a team effort and Rachel had to go down to our storage closet near the food court to get some supplies we were missing. Probably the hardest thing I did today was pull frosting.That gives you a real workout because the frosting bag weighs like 30 or 40 pounds. You have to turn it upside down over a bucket and pull up so the frosting comes out of the bag and into the bucket. I easily got 5 minutes of cardio doing that, it is really had, but kind of fun. I love working out, so that makes sense for me. I loved the challenge. Things calmed down at work around the 4th hour, but we went through so much. After work i got a cake batter ice cream with Kit Kat and butterfinger.  I love how I got along with everyone really well this week, it has been great. When mom picked me up we went to Toys R Us to get a present for Sam's 3rd birthday (my nephew). Tomorrow we are going to Kayla's house and celebrating. Anyway, this is all I'm going to write today. :)

Visually Impaired People

I spent most of the day searching for visually impaired  people on YouTube. I have found some pretty great ones. I want to post some videos by them today.

I will post more people some other time. For now let's just start with these.

I Love Clupons

So the last time I went to Farr's I got a coupon for my first 3 ounces free. Today since I don't have my debit card yet, I decided to go get some cash. I also wanted to get some kind of treat, because I love doing that at least once a week. I decided to have mom drop me off at Farr's Fresh and I got some ice cream. It was only around $2.50 or so with the coupon. I had a lot of trouble deciding what i wanted just like last time so i got a bunch of different flavors. I got pistachio and coconut swirled, then a little bit of marshmallow and a little bit of cotton candy with a couple of pretzels.

I looked around the mall, Best Buy, Michael's, and Shoe Carnival for a while. I didn't look for anything in particular, except for when I went to Best buy and looked at TV's for fun. I love the big fancy ones, and so do my eyes for some reason. I'll have to get a picture of my favorite one sometime. Oh, and I also got a chillata from Cinnabon for some reason after I got ice cream. I know it was weird, but I just felt like one for some reason. I think I got the Oreo Strawberry one. Anyway, so when I decided that I was done I called mom when I was at Shoe Carnival around 2 hours later and I went back to Best Buy. Mom needed to get something from Best Buy, but turned out that she didn't really need it so we left. I don't think I need to talk about the rest of the day, so I'll just leave it like this. I am glad I got to go out and have some fun. I've been kind of a homebody lately.

Self Image

Today I did another video. This time it was about self image and how my eyesight affects this.

Last night someone from work asked me to cover for them for just two hours today. i gladly accepted because I needed as much time as I could. More work hours means more work experience and I really want that. I helped make cinnastix and cleaned up a bit, it wasn't too busy. I did accidentally give myself eyestrain when i was making the sticks though. I sometimes forget to relax my eyes when I get occupied and that causes me to have eyestrain sometimes. It happens if I am reading for a long period of time as well when I am not careful. Other than that Mikayla was at work today, I'mjust mentioning this because she was actually closing for Coldstone today. I thought that was interesting because she used to work for Coldstone a few years back for 5 years. I guess I'm not surprised they would let her do that. They usually don't let us work on both sides, but I guess her experience makes her the exception.

Anyway, nothing much more than this to tell. If i forgot anything which happens sometimes because I am a bit of a space case I'll talk about it in another post. :)

White Cane Tips and Customization

Continuing the subject of my eyes, I talked more about the tips that go on my white canes.

those mint brownies I brought home last night were a complete hit. They were gone by this afternoon. I really want to get more sometime. I didn't do much today, I just hung out at home and took it wasy pretty much.

Talkin Bout Eyes Again

I know I've been going off and on about this subject for a while, but every once in a while sometimes I just feel like ignoring my eyes. I feel like ever since I went to California two years ago to visit Linda I have been avoiding my vision and my white cane. It's pretty easy for me to do that because I am only legally blind and I function very well.

My vision is a very important thing however. I have n plans on dwelling on it again, but sometimes it is nessicary to talk about it so people understand. I don't talk about it too much though because even if I want you to understand it, I don't want to make a big deal out of it. Here is the video I did today. I talked about my vision and my white canes. I don't use my cane mostly because I actually don't need it most of the time and using it gives me anxiety because I don't like the attention I get.

Anyway, other than that I got my basic doctor visit doe today. Mom needed something signed and we couldn't get it signed by my doctor unless if I had an appointment. Basically I usually never go see him because I've never needed to. I had my blood checked too though I'm pretty sure everything will be fine. I'm not afraid of needles, so I just watched the nurse stick it into my arm and draw blood. To me medical stuff like that is fascinating. It was a pretty simple visit. Blood pressure, heart and lungs, questions, etc.

I was going to go hiking with my ward today, but it started getting cloudy and then the rain came, so we decided to cancel. We are going to go up to Stuart Falls some other time. We went to the bishops house instead tonight, watched basketball, played pool, other games, and ate snacks. Bishop Luke got some brownies and ice cream from BYU Creamery. I love mint brownies, but I also love the fruit snacks he got as well. The ice cream was Tin roof Sundae and the second one was vanilla. I didn't watch basketball much, but I did talk to people and play pool. I actually think billiard games are pretty fun. The rain stopped while

Anyway, so I brought home one of the boxes of brownies and a couple packages of fruit snacks after we were done. Two of the brownies out of nine are already gone, so those are a hit at home. I'm just going to relax and play games until I go to sleep. Today was an interesting day and i can't wait until we reschedule the hike.

Southern Banana Pudding

Tonight we had southern banana pudding. We celebrated Kayla's (Paul's wife) birthday which is actually tomorrow. We just find it easier to get together on Sunday so we usually do this for birthdays. Southern banana pudding is basically pudding, bananas and vanilla wafers layered. It's so good and I recommend you try it. I think the pudding flavor is banana.

For dinner we had texas beef skillet with chips and cheese. There was a salad, but I only like salad for lunch so I skipped out. I took a nap earlier and went to church of course. It was just another relaxing Sunday.

Card Declined

Today wasn't as busy as I thought it would be. R.C. Willey was serving free hot dogs and drinks today before work. This Saved me the trouble of having to look for lunch. I had Western Family Magic Stars cereal for breakfast. It's a generic brand of Lucky Charms pretty much. I was a bit stumped on breakfast and so I did that as a last resort. I wasn't looking forward to having to think up lunch later, so what happened was good.

We probably sold a bit faster today at work than we usually do, but other than that it was pretty quiet. I got hungry again pretty fast though. It was so hard not buying something from work for my shift. We just did normal stuff today like roll out rolls, keep stuff stocked, dishes, and other stuff. It felt like time slowed down today though. It rained during my shift and I wonder how this affected the people at Summerfedt because it stopped by the time I got there later. I guess I'll never know, though I bet if someone was selling umbrellas they got a lot of customers.

I think I was excited to get off my shift for the first time ever. I think it was the combination of how slow the last hour of my shift was and me being hungry. I actually almost asked if I could leave early, but I got through somehow.

Today the owner of Cinnabon here in Utah stopped by. There is really only one in Utah and that is ours. I was out cleaning tables and stuff in the lobby and he noticed that there were no classic rolls out in the display. He tried telling me this, but I wasn't looking at him at the time so I didn't register who was talking to me. I was daydreaming and didn't realize that I accidentally ignored him. I thought he was just a customer and so I didn't say anything to him and walked by. I thought he was just a normal customer and let someone else reply because they were talking care of it. When he was leaving he asked me if I knew he was the owner and I said yes. He then told me to not walk past him when he is talking to me and I actually was really confused and at the time I had no clue what he was talking about. I half thought he was joking actually. I plan on apologizing via text as soon as possible.

After work the fun started. Well, half of what happened was more dramatic and exciting than fun. It all started after work when I tried to purchase a center of the roll and an Oreo chillata from work. I was buying it but for some reason my card was declined. I was confused and I tried it 3 separate times. I was actually worried at this point as well and when I called mom to see if she was picking me up I told her about what happened. She was worried too at this point and so when she picked me up we checked my bank account. At first I thought everything was okay, but I looked more closely at the two top charges. They were for $9.47 at the Channel Inn. Channel inn? I had no idea what that was. I googled it and found out it's an actual inn and not just something I forgot I purchased under an unrecognized name. Funnily enough that did actually happen to me once.

I called the bank after telling mom I thought it was suspicious. Plus it was from today and I had made no purchases today. I got it straightened out, confirmed other purchases and am planning on taking extra safety measures in the future. The guy I talked to got me through everything over the phone really smoothly. It's going to be kind of annoying not having a card for a few days, but it is probably for the best. I need to use cash more anyway.

Later tonight I went to Summerfest with Laura, Natalie and Kayla. The rain made it a little chilly this evening, but not too much. It had stopped by the time I got off work and so we didn't have to worry about it there. Laura and Kayla rode on the spinning strawberries, Natalie and Kayla rode on the Sizzler, and Natalie and Ben rode on the Ferris wheel. I didn't go on anything because I was too hungry to want to. I did enjoy watching all the different color changing lights on the sizzler ride. Each line took a long time, at least a half an hour. Ben met up with us when I was in the line with Natalie for the Ferris wheel. I let Ben go with her and I went to Laura and Kayla and waited for them at the strawberry ride. The fireworks were going on during this time and they missed some when they were on the ride. Natalie and Ben got on the Ferris wheel just in the nick of time because it closed soon after that.

We went to a nearby McDonalds after everything was done. I had a chocolate sundae, chicken nuggets and a chicken sandwich. The food wasn't bad. I usually hate McDonald's but for tonight it was okay. We went home after this.

Holding it Up

Wow, today at work was crazy.

My day started out just like any other. I slept in today, cleaned up for work and went to Costco with mom after playing some games on my phone. I was going to go some other places with mom before work, but we had to take our groceries home before we went anywhere else so i decided to stay behind and walk around the mall. I had grilled cheese at Melty Way today. I got pepperjack cheese, pesto sauce, and chicken. This is my favorite combination. I ate this right before I went to work. The drink was lemonade.

When I got to work 3 minutes later I realized that Jan was the only one there. I was expecting someone else to show up, but no one did. There was a lot of work to do, this became aparent just by looking around. Jan asked me to roll out some cinnamon rolls and seeing that there were none in the display besides some mini cinnamon rolls and none in the proofer I knew I had to be speedy. I'm not the fastest roller at work, but I got the job done in decent time. I started out with 4 classics and two minis.. Each dough sheet does two pans of six classics. To do the minis you just cut the dough sheet in half and roll them up separately. Rolling, buttering, cinnamon, proofer, and oven. That is the basic gist of how we made them. The minis are 18 in each pan and one dough sheet makes two pans. Or at least I think it's 18, I don't pay attention. I felt very much in control and like I was holding things up and it felt so good.

Anyway, after rolling I helped with some other things like customers, making samples, putting together the cups of cinnastix, restocking the dough sheets in the fridge, and later making packs of rolls with Miranda when she got there. It was exhausting work but I loved every miinute of it. Miranda and I did some more rolling after we did the boxes. I think e got along really well today which makes me happy. Oh, and the person that didn't show up (I forgot her name) couldn't come today because she had to take her son to the hospital or something. I did pretty great today and I'm very proud of myself. i got to stay an hour later than i usually work. Mom came in and I told her I was going to do more rolling. Orem Summerfest is going on tomorrow and today so we had to work extra hard today of course. I guess we are selling rolls tomorrow at the parade or something. I'm not sure exactly what, but something like that. I thoroughly enjoyed this shift and I hope tomorrow is just as good. I was so ready to go home hen I was finally off work though.

I hung out at R.C. Willey and was going to get a drink there, but the cafe closes after 7pm I guess. I did random stuff on my phone sitting in a comfy chair until mom and dad picked me up. I knew I was hungry, but didn't know what I felt like eating at the time. I thought about making a banana or orange shake, but ended up eating the last piece of pizza from Monday. That was good enough I guess.I was tempted to make a banana split as well, but decided not to. I am just finishing watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix right now.

UPDATE: I caved. haha.
Banana slices, vanilla ice cream, chocolate, butterscotch, caramel, marshmallow sauce, nuts, and whipped cream. Marshmallows on the side.

Live Streaming Fun

I was planning on staying home and not doing much. I was true to my spontaneous nature today though. It's actually all a bit of a fast blur though. I got ice cream right after I go to the mall. I got it from Farr's Fresh Ice Cream. I like Coldstone, but I find that Farr's gets their flavors a little more accurate. I got a waffle cone with licorice and root beer ice cream swirled. I had marshmallow on the bottom because I love that one too. I put coconut on the top and it tasted good actually! I got an herbal tea passion lemonade from Starbucks after this. That just sounded so good at the time. Before I went to the mall I went to Harmon's and walked around while I was waiting for the bus. There was this woman that was giving out samples of hummus and crackers. I loved the spicy one, it was Boarshead brand. Im going to probably go back for it sometime. This somehow made me crave Cafe Rio and even though my plans changed, that was my first plan. I love their food so much. When I got to the mall it was so hot that I just had to change my mind.

I decided to try out the live stream function on Facebook. I wanted to see if it is worth using and I'm pretty sure that it is! I didn't get a whole lot of viewers, but it was still fun because the people that did watch it are some of the people I consider to be true friends. I just walked around town and went to Barne's & Noble and stuff. It was rather random. I did do another live stream when i was walking back home after riding the bus home, but no one watched it, so I just decided to delete it from facebook. I Did get chicken strips, potato wedges, mac & cheese, a cookie and V8 juice before I went home because I wasn't sure if there was going to be dinner. Most of us were gone today so I decided to not chance it. I haven't done much since I got home, just been watching Netflix. I think I am really sick of sugar now after today. I might give it up for a few days. I am not even going to try to do it permanently because I always mess up when i do that.

Questions & Answers

There is this new social network named Kiwi. It is basically built around asking people questions and answering questions. You can upload photos with your questions and make status updates. It's a pretty simple and I've been having fun on it. I still prefer more professional websites like Yahoo Answers, but for now it's okay. I've already answered around 100 questions since yesterday. Some people get creative.

Today was another laid back day. I don't know why but like I think I've said before this week just seems to be perfect for staying home. I went to the store and got some Q tips and cereal and looked at all the cleaning supplies. I realized I probably don't know enough about them to really be buying any. I think I should just leave that to mom primarily. Today was blistering hot and I'm surprised I even had the motivation to go to the store. My favorite Western Family brand cereal "Magic Stars" was on sale today so that is the one I got.

I ate 3 pieces of pizza for lunch. I don't intend on ever repeating that again in the future. I love pizza, but I can get a bit reckless with it. Same thing goes for sandwiches and burritos. It's so easy to overdue those types of foods. Oh yeah, and pasta, can't forget that one. We had tuna sandwitches for dinner tonight and I can tell you right now I am so sick of sugar and am glad I had something different. I had marshmallow ice cream for breakfast. I am crazy with my food choices sometimes. I have a bag of starlight mints next to me on the left as I type this but I don't think I'll touch them tonight. That is almost unheard of since I eat at least one every day. I love them so much.

Maybe I'll go make some herbal tea... hmm...

Solving Cases

I've been playing Criminal case on my phone and on facebook since yesterday. I don't really think it's for everyone obviously. The game is a murder mystery game and has a lot of detail like blood and stuff. I grew up watching murder mysteries and have never been all that blood squeamish at all. I love mysteries and even better I love solving them, so the game is appealing to me. I have somewhat of a hero complex I guess. I love defending people whenever I can. I would have loved to be a surgeon, a police officer, or something like that if my vision was better. I think that helping people through psychology is also a heroic career too and so I haven't strayed too far from my dream.

I would have loved being a super hero.

I went to the store today for breakfast and got chicken and rice soup, a roll, an M&M cookie and some pineapple juice. I nearly left my soup at the register. I've done that once before in the past though I don't think I wrote about it. I think it's pretty funny that I didn't notice.

Hmm, let's see what else happened today... I started cleaning out the photos on my phone though I didn't get very far to be honest. I watched a few more episodes of this show called "Good Witch" though I am starting to think it's incredibly boring. I just mostly have it running in the background if I do want to play it. The show is fine if you are doing something else and perhaps even more interesting when you are only listening to the audio but it's hopelessly dull if you actually try to watch it. I like having background shows every once in a while. I usually like having something playing in the background a lot of the tie when I am playing a game or something. Though it usually isn't netflix to be honest. I usually play Harry Potter or something. I really do need to get more audio books.

Three Boxes of Pizza

Today I started catching up on this blog again. Some of you might read this far enough into the future that you won't even realize that I quit writing for 2 and a half months. This is because when I do that now I go back and fill everything in to the best of my abilities. I just really cherish my memories and they get lost in the chaos of my busy mind a lot. That is why I do this pretty much. That, and I am pretty much a mysterious person and this helps people understand me.

I went to Jamba Juice, and to do some Tax stuff with mom. I made an appointment with my doctor because for one I haven't seen him for around two years, and mom needs him to sign something. I kind of figure even though I don't really need to see him all that much I can at least do my normal check up once a year like I should. Every doctor deserves to see and easy healthy patient. Like I said before I went to Jamba Juice and got a fruit bowl. I don't really know what they used in the smoothie part of the bowl, but it was bright purple with bananas, granola, coconut, blueberries, and strawberries.  I also got a pretzel and both things were pretty great.

Later tonight I went to a stake party where we played various lawn games and ate pizza. There was blue Gatorade as well and even though I don't really believe it's healthy I did drink quite a bit. That stuff really is great when it is ice cold. I won a nike sack pack from a raffle and didn't play any games really. I would normally play games, but today for some reason I've just felt like relaxing and walking around and stuff. I just wanted to be laid back and relaxed. This week for some reason just seems like the perfect week for that. I'm really not eager to go anywhere this week actually. I suspect this is because I did so much last week.

I brought home three whole pizzas after the activity, I'm sure my family will thank me later. There was so much pizza and they were literally telling people to take whole boxes and so I did. I brought home a pepperoni, a cheese, and a Hawaiian pizza.
