Little Girl, Don't Get Me Cherry! It Upsets My Stomach.

Hey hey hey! Staying at the Draper residence until Thursday so I can watch their 4 dogs while they're in California! Really liking the whole not having to drive to and from Spanish Fork thing. Plus, they have a massive TV. Several awesome things happened this weekend.

1. I was introduced me to Human Giant and it is without a doubt the funniest show I've ever seen in my life. Thank you, Bracken.
2. I just had the greatest potato salad made by man at Dana's "Surprise" Going-Away Party. (I say surprise in quotes because Dana was in fact the one who invited me to it, but everyone still said "Surprise!" when we came through the door.)What made it the greatest potato salad? NO ONIONS! Andrea's my kind of cook.
3. I bought some sweet purple suede flats that were on sale at Target. They're my new favorite shoes.
4. I slept for, like, 5 hours on Saturday. Definitely needed that.

On a side note, creepy early-twenties cashier at the Sev is super creepy. I was, understandably, taking my time picking out which pint of ice cream I felt like on Saturday night, and upon turning around with my selection, found creepy cashier literally 5 inches away from me, just standing there. I was also the only one in the store. He also never gave a reason for his personal space invading. Luckily the ice cream was delicious.

Dana got hip surgery on Friday night and guess who has two thumbs and was a great sister and sat in the waiting room for five hours? This girl! (If you can't tell, I'm pointing my aforementioned thumbs at myself.) Apparently I was in the wrong waiting room, but the surgery still took that long. Then I went upstairs and asked where her room was. A nurse told me she would be brought up to room 397, so I waited there for a good 15 minutes before asking another nurse who told me she was already up in room 494. Lo and behold, she was right and I finally found my poor, crippled sister. Everything turned out fine, she just has to be on crutches for the next week and is supposed to start physical therapy even though she's leaving to England in one week...

In NBA Playoff news, I don't wanna talk about it.

As for today, I had a nice Sunday that consisted of watching Sleepy Hollow on TV, going to church with Bracken and remembering why BYU wards kill me slowly inside, watching the Cavs shut out the Bulls and Lebron sink a half-court buzzer beater, stuffing absurdly large spoonfuls of cookie dough ice cream into Bracken's mouth, going to the Haymore's "Surprise" Going-Away Party and discussing Dana's herpes, James's being sterile, Kyle's stripper-theme ringtone he has for Jenny, the difference between the Haymore's dad teaching his kids to grab chickens after he chopped off their heads (the chickens, not the children) and our dad's testing Stephen Covey teaching modules on his kids, and now lounging around with 4 dogs. All in all, a good day.

OK, I've written enough for now. Time to go watch that extremely large TV and attempt to ignore the ominous presence of work and finals that I'll be drowning in tomorrow. Ta!

Like A Boss

Well today was a real treat. Who needs the use of their body and the ability to swallow their own saliva? Not this girl! I'm way to advanced for that. It's a result of hard work and dedication. No, seriously.

Anyhow, last 3 of the 4th quarter in Lakers-Thunder game 2. I gotta say, my team's done better. However, Gasol looks like Joe the Camel and I appreciate that. I still love ya, Lakers!

Hmmm...supposto have a second draft for my research paper by tomorrow...can't really do homework at work this week since I'm supposto be training Karie to mighty morph into day-shift Admin Assistant by May 1st...and yes, I've been saying 'supposto' on purpose. Funny story. So Ryan sent Brigham an e-mail yesterday that included the word 'supposto'. We concluded he was attimpting to say 'supposed to', but obviously missed by a long shot. As an inevitable result, Brigham shared this with the rest of FA and myself, and every e-mail we sent out that day included the word 'supposto'. Since laughing at other people's grammatical errors is so satisfying, we've decided we'll have a designated Word of the Day (one such grammatical error found in an e-mail received that morning), and use it in every e-mail we send that day. It makes work that much more tolerable, and that's always welcome.

Went to Los (Hermanos) tonight with KK, Shawna, Lisa, and Dain. Only thing better than the best endless chips & salsa anywhere was K impersonating the senile, deaf, cross-eyed, mustached, cowboy hat wearing, Icelandic creeper who consistantly comes into the bank. To make it even more impressive, she impersonated him reenacting the recent volcano eruption and potentially resulting plane crashes. Uh-may-zing.

Alright, folks. Tomorrow's another day, and hopefully I'll miraculously pull a second draft of my research paper out of my ...brain. Until next time, I leave you with this picture of where I'll be in two months and say, "I'm better than you. Na-na-na boo-boo, stick your head in doo-doo". Peace!

Hey, kids! I betcha thought that I was dead!

Wow. All I gotta say. Woooow. Just watched the hilarious train wreck that was my one-act from high school...good times @ Mount Carmel in 2005. Plus, total up-the-skirt shot that I could do nothing about because I was balancing atop shoulders at the end. Wasn't high school fun???

Anywhooo, hey look, maybe 3 people that know I made this, Chelsey has a blog! The world can rest easy now. Shhh, shhh, it's ok. I know you want to read all about my life and the inner workings of my infamous brain.

To start you off on this magical journey, I'll take advantage of the opportunity I have to bore you to death with the latest details of my life.
1. Coming to the end of this semester @ UVU, and boy will I ever miss Library Research!
2. Kaylene and I just moved in to Chris & Shelly's place for the summer while they're gone doing
summer sales for Apex. Free rent makes the 30 mph Spanish Fork Main Street almost worth
it!
3. Finally getting to work part time starting in 2 weeks...2 ominous, forever-long weeks...
4. LONDON in just about 2 months!! Mind the gap!
5. In complete and utter contrast to my previous 13 or so years of schooling, I've actually
managed to get all A's on my essays for English 1010 this semester. No, it's not a joke. I
will take monetary forms of congratulations kindly.
....aaand those are the juicy details of my intense life in the fast lane. Also, KK and I watched the first three episodes of Gavin & Stacey, compliments of the burned Season 1 DVD from Dana & James. Glad to report it is indeed hilarious. The Brits have mastered witty humoUr, no doubt. Alrighty, sports fans, that's about all I got for tonight. Wait, that reminds me. Congrats to my boys, the Lakers, on their first-game victory against the Thunder on Sunday! Keep this up and I'll take you all out for delicious, frosty milkshakes! Until next time, stay classy, San Diego!

PS: Let it be known that this blog is dedicated to the devilishly debonair Sir Bracken Rawlings.
