Random Glob of Thoughts

Random Thought #1: Today I was in Kohl's. There I saw a mother notice that her little boy was about to run out the front doors while she was talking to another lady. The mother asked the lady to hold on a minute, turned toward the escaping little boy and said in a sweet, calm voice:

"Thomas! Thomas! The Boogie Man is going to get you!"

It took everything in me to not burst out laughing. What on earth does the Boogie Man have to do with staying by your mom in a department store?! That's a scare tactic if I ever heard one!

Random Thought #2: On Saturday night, I saw 4 shooting stars. 4!!! I remember growing up always having the people around me see them, but I would always look a second too late. But I saw 4! In one night!!! More like in 2 hours of one night! That has to be lucky in some way, right?

Random Thought #3: The pool in the back of my house is disgusting. We joke that it's radioactive and producing West Nile Virus. After almost two months of looking at it and having my roommates call our landlord to complain, I came home today from an exhausting morning and found some men draining it. They are FINALLY cleaning and fixing our pool!!! Hooray!!!

Random Thought #4: Today I begin my journey in the world of The Olive Garden. This morning I spent almost three hours running around Logan to every store imaginable looking for the correct articles of clothing to make up my uniform. That's right. They give me the apron, I have to find the rest. My uniform includes black slack w/no exterior pockets, a white, long-sleeve, button down dress shirt (the hardest piece of clothing to get a hold of!), a black belt, and black, non-slip shoes. Not cheap! I spent what will probably be about half of my future first paycheck. This seems wrong.

Random Thought #5: My roommates are convicinced our house is haunted. A couple of them have had some creepy experiences. However, I do not believe in ghosts. So I guess we'll have to see about the haunted thing. It does open the door for some awesome pranks though! ;)

Trading Cards and Fame

So for A-Team, they made us these little trading cards to give to our students that have our pictures, our email so they can get in touch if they have any questions, and some little facts about us. To be honest, they're kinda cheesy. But funny all at once. Here are some of the pictures they took at that shoot. This marks my third photo shoot for the university this year. I'm pretty famous. haha NOT! The first picture is the one they used for my card. Not my favorite, but it's ok.

Also! Here is the product of my very first photo shoot! They put my on a flier for a scholarship I'm not eligable for. Funny huh? But yeah! There it is! Me, in print!

A Trip Home and a Graduation

So I went home for about 10 days and it was great! It was the longest amount of time that I have been home in about two and a half years. Crazy!!! But what's even crazier, is that my little brother Christian decided to graduate from high school. So he did. It was fun to watch him graduate and I am so proud of him! What a great kid! Love you brother!
