just this once
My team is putting on a “team date” this weekend. When I first heard about it I thought:
Nice! I get another free meal this week
Then I found out that it would be ME asking some guy to be my date. Boo. About a minute after thinking about who I might ask I thought:
Uh, this sucks…
Do I really have to pay for HIM too??
Maybe I could just make something...
Crap I have no food...
McDonalds?
Bleh, I might as well not take a shower if we go there...
Maybe if we do go somewhere he’ll be a gentleman and pay for it!
….but what if he doesn’t?
Dirt bag!
I accomplished the “asking out” assignment the other day. And I seriously don’t know what the big deal is. It was cake! All you men out there who lean on the “I don’t know her very well”/too scared/I just get nervous around girls – crutch are FULL OF IT. I didn’t even ask him to come, I TOLD him to come. It was more of an order than a request. I did it that way because that’s the way I like to be asked. And I didn’t text him, (pay attention boys) I called him. That’s right I actually talked to him on the phone. So newsflash- your all a bunch of weenies.
So the other day I had the great opportunity to go to the Draper temple open house. The experience was awesome. From the outside, I’ll admit it didn’t look that impressive (it could have been all the nasty snow everywhere). On the inside, however, it was spectacular. My favorite thing (besides the C. room – I won’t try to describe it, I won’t give it justice) was the artwork. The paintings in there are so beautiful. I would highly recommend going there. I don’t care who you are, you will enjoy it.

Teachers ARE Smart...
“Smiling is contagious". Who said that? I always thought that that was just something your self-hating 1st grade teacher said to you because she had to. I’ve come to find out recently that not only is it true, but that smiling is only scratching the surface in the kind of influence one can have as a mere "passer-by". Intrigued, I decided to run an experiment to see what I could do to make someone’s day brighter.
#1 most effective: A compliment
Would you not agree? This is just personal enough for them to feel really special. Even if the receiver see's you as a weirdo (even as a creeper), they cannot help but feel a little bit better about themselves.
#2: a Wink
This is my favorite. You can say So much without saying anything at all. The usual reaction is a double take - look of confusion - a grin. So quick and So effective.
#3: a Smile
Classic and fool proof. It often happens that the receiver does not smile back, but don’t let that get you down. Though it may not show then, it makes them happier.
These work on anyone; teacher, boss, hobo, etc. I would recommend trying them ;)

Jumanji in the basement
"Just talk about how awesome I am....there’s plenty to talk about" - Kellogg. That was Kellogg reply when I asked her what I should write about.
So the other night I went to my first ever institute dance, it was pirate themed. If there would have been a Best Dressed award I totally would have won. (Heck if there was an Only Dressed award- I would have won). I don’t have any pictures yet but when I do ill put them up......unless I forget. I couldn’t help but stop and stare when I walked in. Though I was raised in the church its always startling to walk in on a large amount of Mormons busting their moves. To those who have never witnessed this, just imagine those nerds you knew in school (glasses, plaid w/stripes, socks w/sandals, too loud of a laugh, war-craft gold division, chess playing, band geek, never looks at you in the eye, sometimes wears a bow-tie just because, thinks FHE (family home evening) is the biggest social event of the week, and a very very sweet spirit) dancing like they were on Saturday Night Fever. Always a good show.
Since I last wrote, the "O" has been very wet. Our bottom room flooded the first day we got back from my beautiful California. I was upstairs when I heard AyBayBay scream "KELLOG! Kellogg! My room is covered in water!” Then Kellogg tripped on her way up the stairs yelling at me to get towels. That was the start of a very very very long night (Tommy- you and I both know that), let’s just say that it wasn’t a good start to the semester.
Speaking of Tommy; I have to admit that I miss him dearly. He was always there to be helpful and fun. AyBayBay says that she misses his chuckley laugh. Logo says that he's so sad, and that he thought Tommy and him were going to be great friends. We Miss You Tommy!! Oh, and we still need to make jerseys- being on the same team an all ;)
This is a video of us about 5 hours into clearing the water out of the basement. You cant really appreciate how cold and wet it really was by just looking at this. trust me.
