My Wiiiiikend

Wouldn't it have been cool if I played the Wiii all weekend so I really did have a wiiiikend? I didn't play Wii at all.. I just spell retarted. Anyways. My weekend started out not very good. At work on Friday the day started out very bad. I got into a fight with a crazy girl. Litteraly. Cuh-Ray-Zeee Who happeneds to be a manager. ( I can say that she is crazy becuase she is no longer a manager. Guess I don't need to tell you who won that battle, eh). But seriously. Got into a fight. For a minute there I thought I was going to lose my job. Actually now that I think about it I have that feeling alot... feeling of loosing my job becuase of that reason. Maybe I should stop arguing with the managers?..Hmm thought that through and that was a stupid idea.



So the day continued to be a crappy day. It was just one of those days that I want to pull my hair out and just walk out of the hotel. It was one of those days that gives me motivation to find a new job quick style. But the bright and shiney Holli kept a good attitude even though I was having a crappy day. Later that day I got a call from an on call employee at the Hotel her name is Melinda. She worked as the front desk manager at the hotel for a long time now she just works on call. Anyway she called to tell me that there is an opening at the company she works at for a receptionist/ Administrative assistant/travel cordinator job, and wanted to know if I was interested. UH.. Chellloooo. Of course I am! I had an interview yesterday for it and I think it went really well. The job sounds amazing and something that I would really want to do. Full benifits, good pay, and it is a really good company. So I am just waiting to hear back from them about it. Going along with my post below this how I am trying to have a better attitude about everything starting to go back to church and everything I know that this was a blessing. Even if I don't get the job it made me realize that my prayers are being answered and that good things will come if I put effort into this. And for the record I have been to church 2 weeks in a row and I went to all 3 meetings this Sunday, I have said my prayers every night and I have kept a good attitude all week and been really helpful at work and at home. I even have a horrible cold that I am pretty sure is turning into bronchitas and I have not even been Sick Bitchy Holli! Yay! Go me go!



I got my hair done this weekend. I have not had it cut or colored since July 4th. And my hair grows like a freaking Chia Pet on stairoids. It grows SOO Fast so the color was this poo brown color and it was long and dead. So pretty much it was FUGLY. Anyways so now I am a blondie agian with Bangs! Thats right. I said bangs. I have bangs.
See I told ya. Bangs. Wow I look Rotten Face Sally in that picture.

Anyways also this weekend I went to Ikea. That place is like a whole other world! I want to live in Ikea!!! It would be like a new home every day!!! I really want to live there! Ikea Ikea Ikea! There is this chair that I really love with all my heart. I am going to get it for my room with my next pay check. I had no money to buy anything but a swedish chocolate bar. The ingrediants were all in swedish so I was afraid to eat it. I just looked on Ikea's website to find a picture of my chair to post and everything is Swedish on there too! I don't speak Swedish! I am not a Swedin!

I saw Eagle Eye this weekend. Ohhhh Myyyy Ga. ( If you are a Will and Grace fan you got that) That movie was SOOO STUPID. " Oh no the big Golden Christmas Ordament is going to destroy the world!" So stupid! The only thing that kept me going was that Shia is B E A UTIFUL!. Seriously. That is one good piece of man. Yu-uh-Me. OH MY GOSH!!! So I forgot! I need to do a bitchy blog post about this. Ok so there was this couple sitting next to us. And side note this was opening weekend for this movie. People were dumb and thought this was going to be a good movie so the theatre was packed ok. So no seats in between couples we were RIGHT NEXT to eachother. And this ROTTY ROT girl is LITTERALY curled up in a ball on top of her boyfriend and her EVEN MORE ROTTY ROT boyfriend is like holding her. .... .... .... .... ... WHO DOES THAT?!!? ARE YOU F WORD KIDDING ME WITH THIS? Can you really not stay off of eachother for 2 hours to go to a movie. Hand holding fine. Boys arm around Girl fine. Girl curled up in a ball while boy holds girl. UN ACCEPTABLE. You look like a 3 year old douche bag. If you want to be all over eachother like that make it a Blockbuster night and find a couch. Ugh.

Ch-Ch-ch-changes

Caution: This post is long. This post is not funny. There is no quirky, witty, bitchy, sayings or jokes in this post. This is not a post for people to say " Poor Holli". This is purely a selfish post. A post for me to get this stuff out of my head for me to start a change. There is details into my life that people probably don't care about or probably shouldnt know. But I needed a place to let this out. I could write in my personal joulrnal but then my little fingers would be much to tired and dead. And nobody likes little dead fingers.

I have some things I need to change in life. I think if I do my attitude might change. I have a horrible attitude. Lets just face it. I am a bitch. I am not proud of that.. well some days I am. Some days I can think of some pretty clever bitchy things to say but for the most part... I am a bitch with a bad attitude, and I don't like it. And its wearing me out to be constinitaly in a bad mood.

I am not one of those girls who is a bitch just to be one. I have good reason to always be in a bad mood. Maybe somethings I am just bitter about and in my opinion I have the right to be bitter. But for the most part I just have a bad attitude and a rude personality. There is no excuse to be rude to people and treat others like I do some days. But sometimes I just can't help it. I have a condition called Perma bad mood.

There is so many things going in my life that are not good. That would make no one happy or in a good mood. I have had alot of people bring to my attention lately that I am not pleasent to be around. I am aware of that. I know I am not pleasent to be around when I don't feel well which is about 98 percent of the time. But apparently I am never pleasent to be around anymore at all. I think that if I start realsing some of this unpleasent crappy stuff out of my head it might help. I am not making any promises. Becuase sometimes I just like to be rude so people won't try and talk to me =) but I have been trying. I have been trying to have a better attitude at work. Even though I have to fake a smile and fake a good mood I am trying. Unfortunitaly I have a job that gives me a lot of down time. A lot of time to just sit... well stand.. and think..think about everything. Last Friday my parents went out on a date and we all know my issues about being alone. I don't like to be left alone, so Meagen hung out with me at the house. While she was making cookies we started talking about some of the crappy things that are going on in my life and it kind of helped to get it out. So here is to a new Holli. I am doing SELF HELP: THERAPY FOR DUMMIES.... and the uninsured so you can't afford to go see a real therapist. I am trying to be a happier nicer better attitude having person. Operation Bright and Shiney is back on. Heres the game plan. Plan A is to start with these things... If Plan A fails.. I will go to plan B... become a drunk. People are always happy when they are drunk. If plan B fails then I will go to plan C... and well plan C is I might just put out a warning for people to stay away from me. It would be best for all.

Befor I rant.. I know that this post is just a bunch of rambling that no one really cares about. But if you don't want to continue reading... as I have instructed readers befor.. click the little red X on the top right of your screen and peace out. If you don't want to continue reading just know that I am aware of the fact that some of this stuff is not things most people would want to publish about their life on a blog. Maybe a personal journal is where I should have written this but the people who know me and I care about already know this stuff and whats going on and thats all that matters.

Here we go. First of all. I have made the decision that I am going to try and file for bankruptcy. I know it really sucks to have to do. I am 21 years old and having to do that. I know I am aware. If I had become in debt from buying cars and toys this would not upset me. It would have been my own fault and I would know better then to complain. But I had no choice or control in this. I have no health insurance and I have had numerous hospital stays and surgeries in the past 2 years, and the bills have piled up into about 40 grand worth of debt. I can only pay so many with the little amount of money that I make. I need help. I need to start over becuase the more I put paying this stuff off the more trouble I get myself into. Its not that I am putting them off its that it is impossible for me to pay this off. I know that my credit will be shot and my name will not look good when it comes time to buying important things houses cars ect. But my credit is shot no matter what I do and will only look worse when I am 40 years old paying off bills from when I was 20. I am screwed if I do I am screwed if I don't. I need help and this is the only thing that I can do to get this taken care of. I can not think about this debt anymore becuase when I do it makes me physically ill. It is my only option left. This is no way to live, and I will never be able to if I don't do something now.

Lately I have been looking for a new job. I had a great job offered to me but as my luck had it I had to turn it down becuase of the situation above. I have had a few interviews but nothing really worked out. Everday I am looking I am really trying to put an effort into it. I am a very big believer in thinking that every happeneds for a reason, and that the right job just has not come along for me yet. The one that was offered to me was just not ment to be. I am fine with that. I know that looking for a new job is a very long and hard process. In the meantime, I am really trying harder to have a better attitude about where I am now. There is some very shady and just flat out wrong things that go on in the hotel but I am trying to be greatful for the things that I do have there. The hotel knows my situation. They know how bad my health is and they know that I get sick often.. and when I do it can take weeks for me to feel better. They are always so understanding and always willing to get my shifts covered and always have my job waiting for me when I get back. There has been times where I was not at work for 3 months becuase I was in the hospital, having surgeries, and just physically un able to work. Never did they once say anything about how inconvient it is to them when I get sick they are always very understanding, and willing to help me. It is nice to have job security expecially when I have a situation like mine. Also, I get to work with my mom. It is so fun to be able to hang out with my mom at work and even at the end of the day when we leave all we do is complain about everything there its nice to have something to bond over =). I get asked alot " How do you do it? How can you stand to work with your mom all day? I could never work with my mom all day!" But I love it. We have alot of fun working together and looking back at all of the craziness that goes on. And its nice to have someone there who I can make buy me lunch every day =). I use to never wake up in the morning and dread going to work. I always look forward to it. I loved working with all the people I get to meet. I don't have that feeling anymore. But I am trying to have a better attitude about it and when I am there. All last week I tried to have a good attitude and just not let the little crap that goes on bother me. I made an effort to be very helpful and friendly like I use to be, and to be honest I had a much better week. I had fun at work agian. I know that I will not be able to change the things that go on there or change the people that I work with who I dislike. But I know that work goes better when I am in a good mood and I have a good attitude so I am really trying to do that everyday. I just need to have better patience and try to enjoy the good things at the place I am at now while I look for a new job. I am really trying to have make an effort to have a better and happier attitude. Then maybe people won't be afraid of me. Its true.. they are. I would be afraid of me to somedays.

Agian this is not a post for people to say " poor holli" This is not a pitty party for me. Trust me. There is nothing I hate more then people who throw pitty parties. Nothing good comes from those. People just think your a whiner who want people to feel bad for you.. and.. there is no presents. I am just trying to make a change in life. I need to write this somewhere so that when I am having a bad day and I think to myself " I just want to be in a bad bitchy mood" I can go back and read this and remember the attitude that I have right now while writting this.

Lets continue.

I am sick of being sick. I NEVER feel good. Ever. It gets extremely old waking up every morning and never feeling good. I have been dealing with this since I first got sick in high school. I am sick of having to wake up in the morning and having to take a pain pill in order to get out of bed. It is the worst feeling ever. I hate not being able to move my muscles, and my stomach hurting, and having headaches, and no matter how many times I get put in the hospital or have surgeries it never goes away. And its never going to go away. I have a disease. Some days are better then others but agian for the most part I never feel good. Even on the good days there is something bothering me and causing me to say " I don't feel good." I know that there is people who are much worse then me. My dad for example. But still it sucks never feeling good, and knowing when you get a little cold like everyone else does for me its 20 times worse. It hard knowing that I will deal with this for the rest of my life. Having said that. There are things I can change to make me feel better. I can eat better I can start working out agian ( maybe that will make me not so much of a chunker) When I get sick I can work threw it instead of just giving up and laying in bed until it has ran its course. I am going to start looking into taking dance classes to get me up and around. It obviously won't be like it was when I was in school dancing 6 hours a day every day of the week but it will be something. I think that will help me not only physically but mentally. I really miss dancing. That is the hardest part of me being sick is that I had to give that up becuase my body couldn't do it anymore. I really want to get back into it even if its just one class a week or something like that, I want to do it.

Even just little things I want to change and get back in life. I went to church last Sunday for the first time in .. I can't even remember. Yes I did only go to sacrament meeting but come on.. we start with baby steps here =)... But I really enjoyed it. It made me feel really happy being there and to feel the spirit. All of the things I am writting about here and things that are to personal to write about I just felt comfort from them all while I was there. I know it might sound dumb but its true. I know that I can't always make it to church becuase I work at a place that never closes and I usually work on Sundays but I want to make an effort to go when I can. I have fallen so far away from the church I feel like my testimony of the church, my morals, and what I believe in has changed and that really does not make me feel good. I want to gain my testimony back and become more involved with church. But don't worry the second they offer me a calling I am out of there =)

I have realized lately that in life you can only count on yourself. Even if your married and you think you can depend on your husband or whoever you can only depend on yourself to get by in life. I am not saying that you can't count on people to help or support you but there are some things that just don't work that way. I thought that I had someone in my life who was going to become my husband and he was going to help me out with all my personal, financial, all of my problems. Look how that turned out for me. I gave everything I had and more to him and I got no support or help what so ever in return and I am as single as one can be. Things don't always turn out how we plan, and becuase of that you can only count on yourself to get by in life. And the life I am living now is no way to be a happy person.

I am so

TIRED

Yes, I am so tired that last night I fell asleep on the floor. Who falls asleep on the floor? Oh wait. I do. Why was I on the floor? I don't know. But thats where I woke up. Ugh I don't want to be work at work.. I want to be back on the floor..sleeping. You know when your so tired you want to throw up? Yup thats me. Tired.. so tired.

HaPpY BiRthDaY MeAgEn!

Happy Birthday to my sister Meagen! Aka Meg, Megs, Sis, or if you really want to piss her off call her Meggy =) She really loves that. Meagen is my sister and she is my bestest friend. We are total BFF. Hehe. Since today is her birthday I wanted to let everyone know how awesome she is. Meagen is so creative and talented when she was young she did gymanstics for 12 years and was amazing she took 2nd place at State and when she was in highschool she was an amazing cheerleader! That is the reason that I became a cheerleader when I was a Sophmore so I could spend time with her. When she was 17 years old she was the editoral assistant at a huge scrapbooking magazine. She is so crafty and everything she does like that turns out so cool. She is so much fun to be around not only is she my best friend but she has taken care of me so many times. Whenever my parents are gone ( and I swear they plan trips whenever I get dealthy ill) she takes such good care of me. Everytime I have been in the hospital she always comes and spends the night with me to give my mom a break and brings me movies ( We won't talk about the time that she almost killed me when I was in the hospital by giving me to much medicine in my morphine drip! Haha! She was yelled at by the doctor... Haha..Well I guess I just told everyone the story sorry Meg.) When my parents went to California right after I had surgery she was such a good care taker she made me dinner every night and came home on her lunch break to check on me. She watched movies with me and spent the night with me every night even though I know she wanted to be at her own house. Thanks for always taking care of me when I am sick and playing mom when mom is gone =). Meagen is so much fun to be around and she is HeeeLarious! I love hanging out with her as a friend and she is such a good sister. Whenever I need advice she gives the best! She was so helpfull when I was in a shitty relationship and whenever I am upset about something she always cheers me up! I can't even tell you how many times Meagen has helped me out paying bills, putting gas in my car, or anything like that I need help with she is so willing to help me out. Remember my horrifying fishing experience and how I sat in the car having a panic attack? Well she sat with me in the car for the rest of the night ( Which was like 2 hours) .. She was laughing at me the whole night but still..she stayed with me. She is so much fun to be around and whenever I am with her I laugh so hard. I look up to her so much and in ways she doesnt even know. She is going to be such a good mom some day and also such a good wife. She is the most caring person and will put her self and her problems aside to help someone else. Not only is she such a great person and beautiful on the inside she is gorgeous on the outside. She has the most beautiful blonde hair and gorgeous blue eyes. I'm tellin you guys.. She is a catch =) She is such a hard worker and such a good person. She is my best friend =) Happy 24th Birthday Meg. I love you! (...Wait you are 24 right? Hehe)

I miss you today.. Boo

Yes I know that I am a blog stealer. I don't even know the person of whos blog I stole this from so it doesn't really count as stealing. Anyways. I saw this and it made me think of Alex. And how much I miss him and hopes he is safe.

You Stay Up for 16 hours.

He stays up for days on end.

You complain of a "headache", and call in sick.

He gets shot at as others are hit, and keeps moving forward

You put on your anti war/don't support the troops shirt, and go meet up with your friends.

He still fights for your right to wear that shirt.

You talk trash about your "buddies" that aren't with you.

He knows he may not see some of his buddies again.

You walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls

He patrols the streets, searching for insurgents and terrorists.

You complain about how hot it is.

He wears his heavy gear, not daring to take off his helmet to wipe his brow.

You go out to lunch, and complain because the restaurant got your order wrong.

He doesn't get to eat today.

Your maid makes your bed and washes your clothes.

He wears the same things for weeks, but makes sure his weapons are clean.

You go to the mall and get your hair redone.

He doesn't have time to brush his teeth today.

You're angry because your class ran 5 minutes over.

He's told he will be held over an extra 2 months.

You call your girlfriend and set a date for tonight.

He waits for the mail to see if there is a letter from home

You hug and kiss your girlfriend, like you do everyday.

He holds his letter close and smells his love's perfume.

You roll your eyes as a baby cries.

He gets a letter with pictures of his new child, and wonders if they'll ever meet

You criticize your government, and say that war never solves anything.

He sees the innocent tortured and killed by their own people and remembers why he is fighting.

You hear the jokes about the war, and make fun of men like him.

He hears the gunfire, bombs and screams of the wounded.

You see only what the media wants you to see.

He sees the broken bodies lying around him.

You are asked to go to the store by your parents. You don't.

He does exactly what he is told even if it puts his life in danger.

You stay at home and watch TV.

He takes whatever time he is given to call, write home, sleep, and eat.

So Hot Right Now

Haha, We are so hot. Matches my Fur Coat in the middle of August perfectly =).... not really sure why we thought this was so funny...

I Mean

COME ON! How ridiculously UHHHH-mazing is this guy.And yes this is what I have been doing at work since 7am this morning.. Googling Wentworth Miller... Productive day I'd say! Got alot done!

Oh Wentworth

So I have been sick and dying all weekend .. ( Funeral will probably be held this weekend becuase i am pretty sure I am going to croak at work today) Anyways... While laying in bed I decided to start watching PRISON BREAK... and look who I discovered...If you don't love this man. I don't know whats wrong with you. I think that maybe he might have taken over my number one spot of my " I want to make babies with you" list. Sorry Jake Gyllenhaal Your in a close second. Seriously, go watch Prison Break and enjoy some Wentworth. And his tattoos. Ohhhhhhhhhhhh

Job Hunter

It makes me so sad to leave such a truly wonderful, giving, and amazing job. But the time has come for me to leave the hotel. It makes me sad to leave a place that has such good and helpful managers who are willing to step up and help out. Who makes their days all about their employees. The managers who never talk about private things in front of others. To leave a hotel where I just adore the people I work with is truly heartbreaking. Working at a hotel where the guests NEVER complain or yell is just un heard of but it never happends at the Hampton. No favortism or gossip happends it is truly a magical place to work. The time has come for me to leave the hotel... The reasons arelisted above. ( Hopefuly you all caught on to the sarcasim there.)

I have had a few interviews but none of them were what I was looking for. On Friday I had an interview with a Law Firm. The interview was going really well I was not nervous at all. Here is how the conversation went that made my stomach drop.

Interviewer: So obviously this is a law firm, We work with a collections agency called Moutain Land Collections.

Me: ( Thinking to my self) Shit.

So, the interview went on and I did not say anything about the fact that I owe this collections agency thousands of dollars. I finished the interview and I went home. By the time I got home they had called me and offered me the job. It is a really good job, $10.00 an hour ( Might not sound like a lot but compared to what I am making at the hotel thats like hitting the jackpot in Vegas) full benefits including health insurance ( Which I have none right now.)

While I was talking to her on the phone after she had offered me the job and gave me my start date I explained my situation. I am in a lot of debt becuase of medical bills. Unfortinitally a lot of those bills have been sent to collections and the collections agency is the one you work with. I understand if this is a conflict of interest and not something that you would be able to do.

Thanks for letting us know we will keep looking. Bye Holli

Alright sweet man. So that kind of popped my bubble. I was really disspointed but then that night I checked my e-mail and I got an offer to be a medical transcriptionist . I would type up dictations from doctors about patients. I would work from home and they would send me tapes that I would type up and send back to them in the patients files. It makes a crap load of money. I did a sample dictation for them and I kicked its ass and it was accepted so I am just waiting to hear back from them with more information and an application I have to fill out. So everyone cross their fingers for me becuase I really want it! My fingers are so speedy on a keyboard I think I could do it really well! Now.. if only I could spell.

Summer.. Why are you leaving?

Summer use to be so exciting. Looking forward to the last day of school. Going out all night playing with your friends. Going to bed whenever you feel like it and then sleeping in late. I loved waking up around 11:00 and then laying out by the pool all day. Not getting ready for the day until around 7pm right befor you go out agian for the night. There is a feeling I use to get during the summertime. The feeling of freedom and being carefree. Not having to get up and go to work everyday, pay bills, no school, nothing.. just Fun! Summer use to be fun. Now.. when your an adult and have to be responsible... Summer time changes nothing. The only thing that is different is the weather outside and the speed limit you can drive in School Zones.

The weather changes to the crisp cold air that makes my body ache. It is depressing looking outside to see nothing but bare trees and the yards no longer covered with flowers and green grass but now dried up leaves and yellow grass. There is a certain smell of Fall and a feeling I get of being sad and depressed. I don't know how to explain it. I know that in just a few short months we will be back into freezing bitter cold weather. My body achy and miserable hardly able to move. Snow on the ground and my pant legs getting wet everytime I walk outside. Having to warm my car up befor driving to work and driving in slush.( And I am in big trouble now that the heater in my car is bRoKeN!) I hate it... I dread it. Fall and winter make me lonely and I don't know why. There is no difference being lonely and depressed in the summer time then there is the fall. Maybe because in the summertime I am more willing to go out and do something where it is warm outside. In the winter it is much to cold to go out and do anything so I would rather stay inside and be bored. I don't know.

Here is my wandering bored brain taking over and me looking back at this summer and what all I have done. Like I said it started out alot better then it ended. So here we go... Hollis summer in about 7 sentences.. yes.. it really was that exciting....

Oh Summertime.. Remember when Me and Johanna went to California in May? We enjoyed 6 awesome days at Disneyland and California Adventure. Not waiting in any lines at all... just an advantage of being Sick you get the handicapped pass =)... California was so much fun we were worry free and not working at this damn hotel. We had an awesome time riding rides and shopping. Even though I had mono and was so tired every day I had a blast. I wish I could go and do it agian. It was the first vacation I had in a while and it was worth spending my entire tax return on! Not having a dime left! Click HERE to read about some of our trip!

Remember when baseball started? Even though I have not been as into it as I have been in years past it was still fun going to the games, getting to know the team and the players that lived with us and traveling up to IDAHO for the away games. I love spending time with my SUMMER FAMILY and being at a place that I love watching a sport that I love. No better sound then hearing a ball hitting a bat. Here are the 3 Players that lived with us this Summer

Trevor Pippen Beau Brooks Buddy Boshers

Remember when I fell in love? It had to end and that sucked but it was amazing, and I have never been happier. And thats all I am going to say about that.

Remember when I found out I was going to be an AUNT! Yay! That was so excited! I know its early to be announcing becuase anythign can happen. But still its very exciting news!

Now that summer is officialy over and baseball is wrapping up I was going to think write about some things that I am looking forward to in the next couple months...

...

Nope! I got nothin.

Call Me Cool Aunt Holli

Yes thats right! I am going to be an Aunt! My little sister Madi sent me a text message today that said " So... Holli it looks like your going to be cool aunt Holliwood" I said " Uh come agian" And she said " Yes, I am with child!"...I called to comfirm..make sure she was not bull shittin me. And she was not. She is Prego! Yay!!! I am going to be an Aunt! I am so excited! Congrats to My little sister Madi and my new brother in law Brady! Yay! A little baby! I am SO excited for them!! Yay for babies! Yay for me being an aunt! I am going to be the cool Aunt! Sorry Meg.. you can be the boring aunt... =) Hahah Just kidding! Yay!!

So I don't know if many of you know about my boyfriend. His name is Greg but goes by Bubba. He is the cutest 5 year old in town! I have been Bubba's girlfriend for 4 years now. We share a love for baseball and that is where we met. His family sits a few seats down from mine and 4 years ago at one of the Owlz Games it was love at first sight! Well.. Let me rephrase that.. He saw that I had bubblegum and he locked eyes on it and fell in love with the fact that I always have Bubblegum. And that is why I am his girlfriend. His family is so sweet I love them they are a very big part of my summer family. When its not baseball season they sometimes come in to visit me at work, and at my house. I was in the hospital last year and they came to visit me there and always brought me stuff to cheer me up. I remember one night they came to the hospital and they had just brought in dinner to me and Bubba jumped on the bed with me and ate the entire tray of food. Haha! Bubba always comes up to me at the games and gives me a hug and kiss and anytime there is anyone around he says " This is Holli.. shes my girlfriend!" Oh Cute little guy

The point of this post is that yesterday I came late to the game, when I sat in my seat Bubba came running up to me with his hands behind his back. He had flowers a king size symphony bar and a card for me. It was so cute. I can't really decipher what the card actually says haha but what I did get out of it it says " GREG XOXO" haha But it was so sweet. His family is awesome!

Here is a picture of my awesome flowers that he gave me! It was so amazing how something small and thoughtful like that cheered me up after such a horrible day!

Idaho Falls

Yesterday I returned from our trip to Idaho Falls. I returned to a shitty job that I hate, working with people that I hate, cold weather that I hate and a dirty room with a lot of dirty laundry to do. Oh and I have to go back to driving my POS stupid ugly car. Its VERY SAD when I come home and I say to myself " I want to go back to IDAHO FALLS"...sad...very...sad... Anyways, the trip was fun. I went with my mom Julie and Gentry. We actually did alot of things while we were up there. Usually we just go to the games but this year we did alot of stuff! Baseball games, The Zoo, BEAR WORLD ( which was Uh mazing!) We watched a new movie every night, shopping and lots of fun stuff! Whenever I go on trips I don't really know how to blog about it. I want to post all of my pictures and tell everything about each one but when other people do that on their blogs and I read ALL about it.. I just get bored and think I DONT CARE!... But... Work is stupid and boring and I have nothing else to do so I am going to post about every thing I did on my trip.. and you will read it and you will like it! ( "Now you will go to sleep or I will put you to sleep!" 10 points to whoever names that movie) Uhh Here We Go!! * Mario Voice*

The second day we were there we went to Bear World. Its like a 20 minute trail thing you drive through and you see REAL BEARS! And they are RIGHT NEXT to your car. It is so freaking cool! They are so cute and HUGE! We got to watch them eat and play with eachother! I will only post a few pictures of the bears becuase we took about 40 and I doubt you all want to see ALL of them. ( Sorry I only have the ones that I have on my phone here at work with me so you don't really get to see how close they REALLY were!
Afterwards we went to a petting zoo. Besides thinking I was going to get Head Lice the entire time from the Animals it was really cool. I got to pet little Goats and a fat ass pig that was discusting and the cutest little Deer ever! Little Bambis! It was really neat I just could not leave the deer I thought they were so amazing.

We also went to the Zoo there. It wasn't very big but it was really fun, I had not been to the zoo since I was in 1st Grade! Good old Hogal Zoo field trip! =) .. We had alot of people come to the Zoo with us that day so it made it even funner having a big group with us! Why none of us thought to take a picture of our group though is kind of dumb. Oh well! My favorite animals at the Zoo were the Monkeys and Zebras! The Zebras were Beautiful and the Monkeys ...OMG...Cutest damn things I have ever seen, they were so playful! I wanted to take one home and put him in a diaper and call him Huggies! And teach him Sign Language! Not that I know it thouugh.. Hmm. I won't post pictures of all the animals becuase everyone has seen a monkey befor... and this post is already going to be a Novel as it is.. So you just get to see pictures of our cute faces becuase you can't get enough of that!


Alright so apparently those are the only 2 pictures I have from the Zoo that were not of animals. Sweet man. Ok moving on with the high lights of the trip. I ordered my first beer while we were there! I don't drink so I obviously did not drink it. I just ordered it and got carded it was so official and awesome! And then I gave the beer to one of the players. I am sure he enjoyed it =).. The waitress though I was crazy but do I care? Uh.. No not so much.

Every year when we go to Idaho its tradition that we make shirts with our players last names on the back to support them. Well this year was a little different. My mom and Julie supported the players but mine and Gentry's were a little bit differently. Mine had something to do with a certain player but I am not going to tell the story behind my shirt becuase I don't know who all reads this blog... ( by that I mean the player who I am secretly getting married to and he is who my shirt was made for!) but if you would like the story e-mail me at holli.ridley@Yahoo.com its actually a very funny story! We got all dressed up in our shirts and we even had no glare black eye strips on underneath out eyes and our baseball socks... we were HARDCORE! ( Look at how cute my mom is!)

The very first night we were there at the game it was Military Appreciation night. There was all this awesome ARMY stuff there and then befor they sang the National Anthem they had about 15 Soldiers get sworn in on the field. It was EXTREMELY hard for me to watch becuase well.. I won't go into it and most of you know why it was hard for me to watch but I started crying like a baby. I had to get up and leave but Gentry was such a good friend she gave me a hug and comforted me. Thanks Gentry for making me feel better =)

During the last game on Sunday is was an afternoon game that started at 2pm. When we got there it was SO BLOODY hot I got a sunburn we were sweating and miserable. In the 5th inning a HUGE storm came in and it started POURING rain. Thunder and Lighting and all! I was LOVIN it! They ended up calling the game becuase the storm was only getting worse and worse and was covering all of Idaho and Utah so it was obviously not going to clear up. They had to follow the rules and wait it out a Half hour befor the could call it so while we were waiting we had fun bundeling up in our blankets and coats becuase it was so cold and played in the rain!!

I will post just a few more of my favorite pictures from the trip! I have about a million other pictures and stories I could share but I will only share the highlights =) Thanks Mom and Julie for taking me up with you I had a lot of fun with you guys I love you mom! Thanks Gentry for deciding to come with us I had so much fun with you Hun! I would have been lost driving around Idaho Falls with out you=)

(PS..The only reason why we are wearing CHUKARS shirts in those pictures are because they gave them out for blackout night they asked us to wear them becuase they were taking a picture of the stadium from an airplane of everyone with those shirts on.. The rest of the time we were sporting our Owlz Gear.. TRUST!
