Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, it's off to work we go!

Dear Reader,

Man, today was a great day at work! Allow me to enlighten you about my job. I work as a laundry room attendant at the MTC. Which means I clean up after missionaries. That is what I do. Of my 4 hour-shift, about 2 hours consist of sweeping and mopping. However, today we got to use the mopping machine! It is a great big machine that we drive around to clean the floors. It is fun to drive.

I work with two different coworkers on my current schedule: Theo and Alanna. Theo is a funny kid. We enjoy ourselves while working together. He kind of follows me around, but we love him. :) Alanna is a freshman and she's getting married in June. We have lots of fun. Today she gave me a ride in the garbage cart! It was a little painful going over bumps.

The best part about work? Our boss randomly provides us with Pizza. Some days he comes over the radio and says, "Dale, Alanna, Theo...there's pizza up in the break room for you." He is pretty awesome. Unfortunately he is retiring at the end of this year. We are sad about this turn of events.

Yep. My job is pretty awesome. Having a job that you don't detest is a definite blessing in life. :)

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American." With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly. Am I really proud to be an American? Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

Dear Reader, Brad Paisley sings a song about how creating a totally different person when one is on the internet. It is a funny take on how people change themselves to look better on websites like Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, or whatever other sites you can think of. It is a song geared mostly toward meeting people for dating. I'll share a couple of my favorite parts. I work down at the pizza pit And I drive an old Hyundai I still live with my mom and dad I'm 5'3" and overweight ... But there's a whole 'nother me That you need to see Go check out Myspace 'cause online I'm out in Hollywood I'm 6'5" and I look [darn] good I drive a Maserati I'm a black belt in karate and I love a good glass of wine ... I'm so much cooler online This idea of changing who you are online is something I have seen a lot with people around me. My friends and family have accounts on all kinds of websites and da...
