Hurricane, Utah

I am pretty sure there has never been a Hurricane in Utah.  Maybe that is why they pronounce the name of the city, Hurikin.  Weird.  When Isaac showed up Caleb told him that Hurricane Ike had just arrived.  Funny!

I was with the Bills family this past weekend in Hurricane.  The youngest girl is getting married next week and went through the temple in St. George on Saturday.  It was fun to have time with all the family.  (Josh wasn't there and was greatly missed)  It was craziness when all of us were in a two bedroom house.  There were a total of 14 people sleeping in that house on Saturday.  Talk about a party.  I got to eat In and Out burger.  Love that place.  The weekend went way too fast!

Yesterday I hiked.  I will blog about that later today.  Just wanted there to be a new post.  (sorry it is short and not descriptive.  I am tired)

Caleb was the funniest.  He wore a Hawaiian shirt he found in the closet(we stayed at friends' of the Bills second home.).  We finished off the outfit with a wonderful straw hat.  He truly was on vacation(if he were 60).  Funny.  (pictures to come!!!)

Must go work now. 

p.s.  Seester, you are creative!  Thanks for posting!

Pranks

As you know, I am a huge The Office TV show fan. Well, there are a lot of others at work as well. One of our counselors put the letter seen above on my desk a few days ago. During one episode, Jim sends Dwight a fax warning him of impending danger. Hilarious. During my 4th hour, the kids would only say the words: "Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica." I knew what was going on pretty early and it was very funny. I liked that little prank.

They also tied up a co-worker and then flung him into my classroom. The video is of that. I wish they had taped me, but you take what you can get sometimes.

I am glad the week is over. I will be heading down to St. George with the Bills in a bit. Youngest sister is going through the temple tomorrow and getting married next weekend. I am in for a few busy weekends!

Thank Heavens Now There Will Be Two Half Days.

Yesterday was a hard day. I am really having a hard time loving all the kids in my Leadership Class. One of the kids, in particular, is driving me crazy. Here are two quotes from him in the past two weeks:

1. "If one more person says anything about me, I am going to go Columbine on this place." When confronted about this, he then claimed that he had no idea what Columbine was beside a school in Colorado. He claims to have no clue that a huge killing spree happened at that school. Idiot.

2. "One of my friends promised me that, if my girlfriend gives me one more problem, he will throw battery acid on her face." Nice. Anybody hear the echoes of a psychopath here?

Today and tomorrow are half days. We are being comped for giving our time to home visits. It will be nice. I hope I will survive the hour with my Leadership Class today though! Let's keep our fingers crossed!

The Indian food was one of the few things that went right yesterday. It was an oasis to have it for lunch!

The Office Goodies!

Some people may think I am weird; that is okay with me.  Last night, I drove up to Salt Lake in order to check out the dollar bins at Target because they had the chance of having The Office goodies.  I had checked the Target in Orem, Utah and they did not have any of said goodies.  This explains the rash trip to Salt Lake, where they actually have five Targets.  My friend and I set off after having wonderful Indian food(you may here about this in the next post).   We decided to hit the one that I figured I could get us to the most easily.  In happened to also be the closest to Provo as well, the Sandy Target.  I was actually quite surprised to find out that the first store we stopped at had a plethora of Office stuff!  I was like a kid in a candy store and got about 20 dollars worth of dollar goods.  I, at first, had gone overboard and had over thirty dollars worth of stuff in my cart, but my friend helped me narrow down my finds. 

 

This story is great and all but really it made me so happy to find these cheap treasures.  It was like an adrenaline rush.  Crazy!  Don't worry the things are not only for me.  I do plan on giving most of it away(In fact, I have made three co-workers days by giving them presents!). I am excited to have my own sticky notes and notepads.  Great stuff.  So happy. 

 

Those are the highlights of Tuesday 

Spiders!

I hate spiders.  Just thought you should know.  I have been killing at least one per day lately and I am sick of it.  I have heard about these electric repellant things and have thought about getting them.  Anybody every use these?  If so, did they work?  What kind works better?  I seriously need to get some.  Any help would be appreciated!

I hope you are all having wonderful weeks.  So far, so good here!  No exciting stories, yet.  

Later.
