good show hampton have a cookie.

so im pretty sure everyone has heard about the abraham lincoln museum a trilion times so i wont tell you about it...i thought it rocked though. which is surprising..cause at first i was like holy smokes 2 hours of being in a museum LAMMMEEE..but it was bomb like your mom. espeialy the movies which i cant explain because i still dont get...i thought it was a real person thewhole time but then it turned out it was just a hallogram. idk but i thought of fay and jorow and im pretty much positive they would love it.

today at work i got to yell at some kids. it was sweet. they were like my age and kept opening cologne bottles even though the sign CLEARLY says (in english AND spanish...) not to cause then our prices have to go up but he did. so i asked them nicely to stop. but then everytime i'd look over they had a guilty look on their face and they kept checking to see if i was looking at them. and then they started to cough while opening it so i wouldnt hear the plastic i guess? idk. but finally while i had a customer and everything i was like will you guys stop being rude?? and one o them was like oh uh sorry we're just opening the ones we're gonna buy. so i said do you plan on buying the whole shelf? (and no, i will not get in trouble for saying this crap) and then he was embarassed and wwhen they came up to my register he only bought one and it made me mad. ugh. frustrating story of the day.

oh well.

i wish i had a funny one....but heres a picture you guys can check back and look at when ever you feel depressed im not in utah..which im sure happens often. just helping out with the withdrawls..oh andthe second one is from christmas in 2006...so i know its really old but i just now figured out how to put pictures from my camera on the comp. and its my favorite picture of my and fay. it makes me giggle. and the third picture is of a shirt iw anted to buy at the museum...

im addicted to spider solitaire.

everytime i try and update on this puppy the internet is way to slow to handle.
so here what is happening. last friday i spent 5 hours sitting in the waiting room at the dentist since everyone there is a student they still have to take tests and stuff and i was julies back up for both of them. i almost died of boredom. buuuut 5 hours later out comes julie with $40 and a gift card to wendys so i wouldnt starve. worth it? um yesss.
then on monday night i had to work till close (10) and my friend erica was like man you know what movie i want to see? t hat narnia one. and i was like yeah me tooo. so we went after work. haha dude i felt like such a dork, going to see narnia at 1030. it was a good movie htough..kinda strange, and the thing with those movies is yu never know what the climax is cause theres soo many battles. it was good though. go see it.
and now instead of thinking of more interesting things to write about im playing spider solitaire. sweet yo.

apparently everyone from byu eventually becomes a dentist.

SOO basically here is an update on my life.

i went to the dentist on monday to get a filling and my dentist said just to be safe she was going to fill a little deeper cause she didnt know if the lining under the cavity was solid or not (disgusting, i know!) so she was like there is a slight possibility that you will need a root canal but ill try and be really gentle and do a good job. i really like her, shes kinda hippie-ish but still shes the real deal yo. so they do the filling and im good.

until night time and i cant sleep because my mouth hurts soo bad. which is ironic because before i went to the dentist i never had any teeth pain. so i was popping more pills than an addict. seriously every four hours to the second i had more in my hands..and it sucked. so i called julie (dentist) and left a message and we played phone tag for like 4 calls until finally i talked to her and she was like welll ill call and tell them that you will be coming in. she calls. and then says i can go in at 830 in the morning and they'll do a root canal. (holy scary) but i wakee up that morning absoutely fine. nothing hurts. so i call and tell her and shes like sooper. but she still wanted to talk to a root canal specialists (rcs) so the rcs said that its normal for it to hurt really bad for a while but if it continues for a few weeks then ill need to go in. and i think that was on tuesday..then yesterday like 4 hours before i go to work i close my mouth and almost die. just the pressure from my top teeth resting on my bottom teeth was enough to make me want to kill someone. not even kidding. so im like crying cause it hurts to even breath cause even the air feels like pressure but i go to work anyways. and a few hours in i decide to make some minestrone soup in the break room and see if t he heat will destract me. but i cant swallow. at all. so i call mo and po and po calls julie and julie calls the urgent care. but first she tells dad "i cant do anything for her now but if she wants...she can calll me later and ill try and make her feel better" h aha shes so nice. and strange.

oh but wait let me back up (this is a true alyssa story i know)
we get some really goofy people come in at marshalls and yesterday they put me on cash register for back up so i had one guy in my line that bought like a trilliont hings with security tags so we couldnt just sit therein silence so i was joking around with him about how working in toys is a good reason to never have children and blahblah but then there was a break in the conversation so he goes "well hows life going"
andour convo went like this:
me:pretty good...well actually im lying (if i werent delirious from having a mixture of ibuprofen and asprin in me -which julie said has the same affect as vikodin than i would have nevr said this..i would have put my customer service smile on and asked if it was debit or credit) so then i explain my story of having to get a root canal
him: oh my gooshh dont worry ive had one andthey are not as bad as people say they are
me: yeah, right.
him: no, im not kidding. you wont feel anything cause they give you pain killers afterwards, idk why everyone says its so horrible.
me: (lying) well i guess i feel a little bit better since youve actually gone thru it unlike everyone else thast telling me it doesnt hurt
him: i'll mke you a promise. (then he gets out his business card) and says/ writes "if it hurts, i daniel cooper promise the girl at marshalls 2 free boxes of truffels" and then put the number to his work, his website and his name and signed it. and he works for the hocolate compnay that caters ugly betty, and the oscars so its retailed at $99.99
haha how weird is that??? and he was like see i even signed it so you could take me to court if you had to.
it was awkward.

okay now back to these times. we go to urgent care. explain the story and it turns out julie went to the dentistry school and talked to them even though she was already at home. (see, shes a good person.) so they were kinda expecting me. and you are supposed to take a number. okay we got there TWELVE minutes after they opened and i was number 10. are you kiddddinngg me? so i want to cry right then cause the guy infront of me in line is so chill hes just like 'yeah..man..i kinda have a toothache' i wanted to kick him in the face but then i decided he would have a legit reason to be in line if i did that so instead i had the heartattack in my head. and we go back to the waiting room and sit for only 2 minutes before they call my name. and i can see the whole room turn and give me such dirty looks cause they had all be in front of me and they had all been waiting and the guy who brought me back to the nurses station looked SOOOO much like jordan it was creepy. i almost told him that but then i realied he wouldnt care. but the nurse just told me where to go and said that i was going upstairs ahead of everone else becuse julie came in and told them aout the 'severity of my pain' hallelujia for julie. so as im walking back to the waiting room to get mo i see people get sooper happy like yeah kid you thought you could jump ahead but toooo bad. but ohh they had no idea.
so we go upstairs im sitting for maybe 4 minutes and that guy wholooked like jordan came back up and read my hoodie and said 'byu cougars...right on.' or something like that which made me think we were on candid camera and it really was jorow. but then my other dentist calls me in and tells me that lots of kids in his calss are from byu. so i guess it wasnt jorow...........or was it??
anyways im reallly dramtic and tell him that im starving to death and that i know its going to hurt and i wanr him that ill probably cry and beg him to just put me to sleep. haha. he thinks im on drugs. but oh well. so he puts the numbing stuff in and i tell him i can still feel everything and he actually punches me and says oh alyssa...whatever. so then im like 'okay look. i know you think im kidding but im not. and i cannot bite down on this puppy (xray machine) until it stops hurting so much' but i say it while smiling so he doesnt start drilling just for the heck of it. so then he believes me and sticks a needle directly into my tooth and then i was the happiest kid in the world.
he does the root canal which went fine but then when he was done i sat up and had spit alllll over my face that i couldnt feel haha it was gross. and then when i tried to talk only half of my mouth would move so i looked paralyed hardcore even though he told me i looked normal. uhh thanks? so you know that part in christmas with the kranks when he gets botox and tries to eat but it falls outof his mouth? that was me at wendys. only half of my mouth could get aorund the straw but i didnt realize that until i was drolling lemonade.
hahah oh jeeez. this is the most attractive positng everrr.
thats all though. dont worry i wont make it any longer...im on the phone with julie again to give her the update. :) we're pretty much bffs
oh but wait i have to add as we were walking out we went past that waiting room and tons of peole were still in there and they all glared as me and mo walked out.

my sistas.

mo wants to know if

marcie will wear clothes like this. (tank top on top of other shirt) ...

and chelsee too.

just the ramblings of a teenager.

holy smack chelsee i thought of you today.
so at the MA (marshalls) we arent allowed to print anything or say anything on the radio or tv about the brands we get in even though we get everything from target to juicy couture (literally) cause it has something to do with our contract..WELL american eagle agreed to let us print their name in May so my boss has been pulling all the ae and aerie stuff we get in new on our trucks so she can put them on display.
shes like 5'3 and sooooper skinny, i thought she was like 22 (shes really 34) when i first met her so she still shps at those kind of places and can pull it off so i walked in the back and she goes psstt come here...i wantto show yousomething, so she takes me to the baaackk corner of the stock room (ha, remember that store??) anywho. and there is a BUTTLOAD of american eagle/aerie stuff. it was like heaven. and she told me i could go thru it and pick out stuff i wanted to buy so i could get first dips before we put them on displays and every single tanktop i found i could see chels wearing it AND nothing was more than $7.99 (except the jeans which are less than $20) im. not. even. kidding. so i got 5 brand new things for less than $30 it was amaazzzing. so i told mo to go in there and look for stuff for you when they put it on the floor for after you pop. it was exciting.
and im sure marcie will be excited cause that means you get to wear more of my new clothes when you get here.
want to hear something a little more interesting?
one of my friends at work is moving to west virginia for college and rightnow shes a part time coordinator so she makes $9 an hour instead of the $7 that us regular kids are making and my managers love me so much one of them literally said that she wants me to take over cortneys position when she leaves which would be AMAZING cause there are lots of people who have been there for well over a year or two and are still making minimum wage. but then BAM i just pop in and get the position. its not set in stone yet but they are training me for layaway next week which is the lastthing i have to learn before i can do it all. literally. they thought i was leaving in july and then when they found out i wasnt they all were so stinking hapyp and it didnt even sound fake. :) but dood they should like me, these last two days i wasnt scheduled but they called me in and i worked both of them..annndd im working 8 hours on a saturday i wasnt scheduled. being flexible pays off yo.
hm i just realized 99% of this is more exciting for me than anyone else.
oh well.

umm child abuse anyone??

im a blogger slacker.
soo i cut my hair. by myself. i realized that the only times ive ever liked my hair cut wwere the times i did it myself. so i cut a good two inches off. itw as so broken and ghetto. but with my straightener im learning it only takes 3 days for me to get crazy split ends again and i cant shave my head..so im thinking i need to solve that problem.
i got my luggage yesterday! well one piece of it. its betsey johnson (super famous designer) she makes crazy random mostly ugly clothes but i really wanted the suitcase. so tricia bought it for me for graduation. it retails for $245 so i think its pretty spectacular. once we get both of them i'll take a picture.
i ended up not going to institute last week cause my throat was killing me, but i have plans to go this week cause i get off work at 2. pretty exciting.
i have a story from work.
so on thursday i was on cash register, and this girl came up to me and was like 'umm theres a family back there, and im pretty sure their kid just puked on t he floor. cause they are cleaning something up and he is coughing...just so you know' and i was like gross. where? so she pointed and i walked back there and i could smell it sooo strong but i couldnt see anything so i was like hmm and as i was walking towards the girl again to ask her if i was in the wrong place the family came up to me. they were like those middle eastern kind of people (just for visual effect) and they had puke allllll over their cart and the crap they were going to buy so she asked me where the trash was so she could throw it out and i didnt think we could just toss it so while trying to hold my breath i was like umm let me find a manager. so i did. and sally (manager) said to hand them paper towels cause there was no way she was going to clean up someone else's puke. so i did. and walked back AGAIN to look for the puke. finally, i give up and i go back to the family and say
'hi...um did he puke on the floor too?'
'yes. but we cleaned it up'
'oh...okay. well can you show me where it was?'
'its fine. we already cleaned it up.'
'thats great, but we stll need to spray disinfectant to make sure..'
--this goes on for like 3 minutes and she finally gives in
so we walk back where i had justbeen standing and then i can see it...like they got the chunks but it was smeared out and when the light hit you could see it. so i hold in my gag and say 'can i ask what you cleaned it up with?' and she said
"his clothes!!!" like i was the stupidest person on the planet. and i look at her kid and he has puke and water (i guess from tryig to clean it in the sink) alll over his clothes.
yes, she put t hem back on him.
and then i just said okay and walked away.
siiickk.

Raise your hands in relief society cause i have a good news moment!!

Holy smack.
So Ive been thinking lately. And I was like man im happy right now. This is crazy.

Ive had to work the last couple Sundays cause one of my coworkers dad died so I was covering for her but then these last two Sundays I had off for the first time in forever. So I went to church and I realized how much I actually do like the people there. they’re amazing, and I think they genuinely like me too. Obviously my first Sunday back they acted weird and every single one of them gave me a compliment on my dress and then asked if i wanted to go to yw with them. Haha but I went (I planned on going to relief society cause im 18 now but I didn’t really want to cause I have a hard time relating to stories of toddlers and cleaning the kichen) so in yw i was the Missouri-obnoxious Alyssa that had a thousand comments cause I feel like I have good stories and opinions :) I know it probably doesn’t seem like a big deal to you, but to me it was HUGE.

I really like work too. Sometimes I feel like im not appreciated, but most days I don’t even care. Theres one girl there that could potentially make work the opposite of heaven because she talks a lot of crap. I call her picky-vicky in my head. (which I guess means I think crap…) but she really likes me. And my supervisors tell me im doing really good.

Today my friend from church kristy called me and asked if I wanted to go to institute with her and I really did but im currently dying of the worst sore throat of my life…not exactly good timing cause im goig to the dentist tomorrow so I get to have my mouth open for 47 years. Anywho. But we decided that im going next Wednesday cause I don’t think I have to work. Shes trying to get a job at marshalls too. I don’t see her becoming one of my really really good friends cause we are pretty opposite. She is reallllly shy and likes to quilt and watch little house on the prairie (not even kidding) and I am loud and like to eat food and watch American idol. But she is really nice and has funny stories about the weird guys that are in love with her in our ward.

Annndd Marcie is possibly coming out in july so I get to see my mini shayshaymoo and trooobooo. (and her and trent)

And we get to know what chelsee’s baby is!

OH and I found a cheap ipod alarm clock! Suh-weeet. Im gonna wait till it goes on even MORE sale and then use my 20%discount :) I have it all planned out.

Before today I hadn’t talked to skylar in a really long time which is pretty crazy for us. But she has a boyfriend now so I let it slide haha. She’s really happy though which makes my life SO much easier than I could ever explain…then today I was finally talking to her and she said her family was going to Nauvoo for memorial weekend and so are we! Hopefully…as long as I get off work, so im praying I do! The best part is I was a happy kid even before I found out I was gonna see her!

This better get some comments guys, I wrote a novel. Peace out girl scouts.
