Reflections after a battle conquered

Observations from an Office Window

It was just a normal day at work. I made phone calls, replied to emails, made copies, and printed labels. All normal. Unfortunately, so are paper jams. Which also happened. I battled the evil printer, I tore off those tiny pieces of paper in an attempt to remove the paper, I even found out I could lift another part of the printer and easily remove the paper...mehh.
I contemplated throwing my printer out the window.
Instead I just looked out my window.
Much to my pleasure I was able to catch sight of a boy walking along the edge of a fountain. Sandwich in left hand, phone in right, he was jabbering away like a little school girl. From my second story gaze, I was able to catch sight of a good sized piece of sandwich fly out of his mouth. Sick. (Though he did feed the birds and they seem to like regurgitated things). I don't think he noticed but its remarkable I saw it from the distance I was standing.

Moral of the story: If you remove the toner from the printer the paper is much easier to access to fix the jam.
Or don't talk with your mouth full.
And never talk with your mouth full while removing the paper from a paper jam (unless you take out the toner first).

Let this be a lesson to all of us

I feel like I should post something else because right now when you pull up my blog the first picture you see is the nasty worm.
Ooh here's something. But can also potentially be nasty. A couple weeks ago, well probably like a month or more by now, we had a pudding/yogurt fight in a parking lot. It was freezing. But fun. It wasn't too sick until some cheesehead decided to bust out the ketchup. So much for tasting the sweetness of strawberry yogurt or chocolate pudding anymore.
Sick.

I must mention that I love the "helmets" on Mack and Lindsay's heads.

I Wonder as I Wander

On my way to school today I noticed how quickly worms shrivel up. It only just rained yesterday, and yet the sidewalk is decorated with once-slimy specimens that now resemble crunchy chow mein noodles.

This reminds me a story of my oldest sister. When she was little, one day she proudly proclaimed to my Dad, "Hey Dad, when you keep worms for a really really long time, they turn into sticks!"

How did you know that, Aimee?

She knew then what I am only just realizing.
My family is brilliant.

:)

Oh and I decided I'm actually NOT going to Wales anymore haha.
Seriously -- welcome to my life.

I'm going to start using great vocabulary incorrectly in my day-to-day conversation and see if people notice.
It's a reverse way to expand your vocab.

Today's word:

fru·men·ta·ceous

Which actually means "of the nature of or resembling wheat or other grain."

This should be fun.

Birt

It's my Half Birthday!


Half the word birthday is birt so it's my Birt today.
The Relief Society in our ward recognizes the summer birthday girls' half birthdays. It's great.
I did not know it was my Birt until I walked out of my apartment this morning and almost squished a little snickers bar and card. It was pretty early in the morn so this made me feel all chipper. And then I had Kneaders for breakfast.
Oh Happy DAY!
So let it be known, today I'm 20.5 (I hate fractions...)
And I decided I'm going to start making half Birthday cards for people. Much like the one found below:

Happy.

Hap Birt.
