Summer 2009

This summer has been a great one. I have had a lot of fun and have learned a lot of new things.
In June my niece Kalli turned 3 years old. I helped my sister Reva with her birthday party. We had lots of fun with water and other party games.
I went to a couple of my friends wedding receptions. It was great to be able to travel and have the time to think!
I cut my hair on July 9th. It has been nice to have shorter hair. It makes things easier and harder at the same time.
In May I started a new job. Virginia the lady I was working for passed away. It was sad she died, but she is in a better place. Sandy my new boss is a lot of fun. I don't think there has been a day where I haven't laughed at something that happened at work. She has some very cute animals. Apollo the Llama and Stomper one of the sheep are my favorites. The animals teach me many lessons that I can apply to my life.
My car was expensive for me this summer. First I had a motor that sounded like it was going to die, then I had brake issues, and then I have had tire problems. It is crazy.
In July I had a family reunion in Idaho. We went swimming, played games, talked, and ate food. I enjoyed the time I spent with my family.
One very eventful thing that happened at my apartment was that the sewer backed up in our downstairs bathroom. It was gross and stinky.
My summer was a very good one filled with adventure and excitement.

Picking,stemming,pitting

For about the last three weeks at work I have been helping my boss Sandy with cherries. It has been a lot of work, but fun. I learned how to make fruit rolls too. We use a food processor to mix up the cherries into a liquid like substance. Then we put it onto a cookie sheet that has glad wrap(or mad wrap as Sandy calls it). The sheep, llama, and hens are loving the goodies they get. They get the cherries that they birds get to. It is fun feeding the animals at work. That is all for today folks.

My adventurous job

Two Saturday's ago at my job I did some weeding and while I was weeding I had a grand adventure crawling underneath the branches of a bush to get to the weeds. I felt like I was in a cave but I was not. I also get to feed cute animals. When they were in the area where the hay is for a while the sheep would try to get into the chicken coop because I was giving the chickens grain or taking care of them. They knew that grain was in the chicken coop. It is a fun time feeding the animals.

Making taffy

This past Sunday Jeanni Evans and I made homemade taffy. It was a lot of fun. It went a lot faster than I thought it would. It was really hot when we started to pull it. It was worth the pulling of the hotness. It was also funny because I put the fork on a package of butter to set it aside until we were done. Well after we were done and cleaning up the taffy had cooled like in the picture. It was cool.

Spring Cleaning

So recently because of moving I have been doing a lot of sorting through all of my things. It is crazy all the things that I keep and hold onto. I just thought to myself as I was doing some of the sorting, "why have I kept this?" I filled up part of a box with paper that can be recycled it was crazy. I am glad that all that paper is not going to waste. It hasn't hit me as hard about conserving things as it has this semester with how the economy is and from being in a really awesome Natural Resource and Society class. I enjoyed this class a lot. We learned about the environment but also about relationships in general. It was great!!! Well to do other things I go hy ho hy ho hy ho.

Attitude

So I have a question for everyone. What are your thoughts on how attitude affects how we live in our daily lives? What do you think when you hear a performance and its good but the person doesn't seem like they want to play or be there? What is the affect of people seeming like they don't want to be somewhere? I have to write a story for a class and I need to know what others think? If this doesn't make sense ask me to clarify what is not making sense. Thanks so much.

Tire Rotation

Today I went and had my tires rotated and I thought that getting tires rotated was something totally different than it really is. Tire rotation is where they move tires to different tire axles on the vehicle. It is funny that I thought that is not what was done. I also learned how I can change the air filter on my car. It was cool. Hope everyone is well. Have a good day.
