let's just say...
let's just say...it was a bad idea to go into Wal-Mart wearing my Albertson's Uniform (it too is blue). I got asked three times where to find something yesterday while I was waiting for my prescription. can't i just buy my drugs in peace people? worse part is when I got up to the check-out the cashier said, "oh hey you! you just get off?" as if he knew me. ha!

intern
intern: practicum worker, volunteer, apprentice, free labor, mentee, protege, trainee...whatever you call me i'm getting buckets of invaluable experience (not to mention a gold star for my Grad school application); possibly one of the most infamous interns would be Monica Lewinsky (ironically an alumnus of my college, but no worries I will not be following in her footsteps, no sir)
yesterday I started my internship at the Idaho State Historical Society's Research Library and Archives. So far, I'm awestruck with the whole experience. I get to wear white gloves like Mickey Mouse, process old legislative bills, humidify things using an ultra "high-tech" trashcan and distilled water, eat chocolate covered raisins, move boxes around (and damn you think you've seen a lot of boxes before? think again my friend, think again, I'm talking a vast sea of boxes you could swim in for decades), categorize materials, then categorize more materials, break paper weights filled with shot, and maybe eventually get a name badge! So in a nutshell, I love it!!! (and yes that deserves three exclamation marks).

wild rumpus
wild rumpus: an unruly party or a noisy disturbance/commotion
so grant it the other morning I was indeed functioning on an ample amount of cold medication, but not enough to dampen the screams and giggles of small children throbbing from my niece's room at 7 am. I glanced into the hallway only to see my brother-in-law Shawn adamantly walk by and demand an explanation, "What's going on here? This is ri-diculous. Shela can't even find her pants!!!" That had to be one off the hook slumber party. Truly a wild rumpus.
in order to recoup from the side ache I got while laughing about the above incident, I shuffled out to the living room, slumped down in the big chair, and turned on the tv. I watched (but really slept through) all of the Today Show and then woke up in time for Live with Regis and Kelly. Normally not my typical tv viewing choice, but today's show featured an interview with Bruce Willis, and well I like Bruce Willis, so gosh darn it I decided to watch Live with Regis and Kelly. However, just as the interview was about to start, and my excitement was at it's highest, tragedy struck! The local news interrupted my live and tantalizing interview with the one and only Bruce Willis (did I mention it was live?) to bring me, the viewer, "breaking news!" And what exactly was this "breaking news" that's sooooo important that they had to make me miss the interview with Bruce? a fire? dead babies? the end of the world maybe?...oh no! just the opposite my friend. They interrupted a perfectly pertinent interview with Bruce Willis to tell me that little old Boise State University Football Team had decided to change leagues...and the change won't even take place until 2011. Eff that sh*t. So much for "breaking news." AND so much for a beautiful morning with Bruce Willis. Oh well, I guess that's Idaho for you.
