I'm still a tattletale.

I'm going to admit it. I was a tattle tale growing up. It's a very hard thing to grow out of. Then again, now that I think about it, I was just being honest. But just like in elementary school, that honesty wasn't really appreciated. Like the other day when someone was returning headphones because they were a little scratchy. A coworker decided that he would just switch him some new headphones. I was like, whoa whoa whoa. Whoa. This doesn't sound right. And then he wanted me to sign off on the return. Little lights kept going off.

I kept glancing around, looking for my boss but of course, he'd decided to disappear. The customer was getting antsy, my coworker had already started the return. I started to sign the paper, my coworker had to know what he was doing right? And then dun dun dun DUUN! My boss came up the stairs. I called him over. The customer uttered the f word. Instantly I felt like I was back in elementary, telling on someone for something.

But now that I think about it, I was just being honest. I was just trying to do my job correctly. If it was really worth that customer being happy and thinking highly of me for me to be dishonest, then I'm the one with the problem not him.

I'm ok with people still treating me like a tattletale. As long as I'm honest.

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...

Book of Mormon Musical?

Well, it's here in Denver. Kind of hard not to notice it with all the signs. The Book of Mormon Musical. I have very mixed feeling about this. I know that in the grand scheme of the universe, this musical shouldn't bother me so much. But it really, really does. The Book of Mormon is something very near and dear to my heart. And I know that people make fun of the LDS church on an hourly basis. I've heard all the jokes. Not a big deal. Plus, I'm blonde. I can take a joke. But this musical really disturbs me. I listened to the songs when they were released, thinking oh, I'm gonna be one of those cool people who fights for this play. But then I really started listening to the words. And they bothered me. A lot. Saying that missionaries who are out in the field make up things on the spot, like having sex with frogs will get rid of aids, it bugged me. I don't even want to talk about some of the other songs. I heard them and felt, just not right. I was comforted by t...

I'm not going to waste time talking about why I have a blog or how this is my first new blog post, because I like to have faith in the human race and the fact that they can read and can interpret these things on there own. I mean, there aren't any posts under this one so obviously this is my first new post. And having a blog is not a mandatory thing to live so one could hypothetically conclude that this is for fun. That is hypothetically speaking of course. I just used 89 words explaining why I didn't need to explain something. I hope I counted that right. Anyways.  Three years ago today on a rainy day I remember being in a basement with a bunch of little people and adults for a scout thing. And I remember them talking about how a certain friend of mine was going to be a senior and how that's so crazy. I was just going to be a freshman at the time and thought I was the coolest thing since duct tape. (Sorry sliced bread, duct tape is waay cooler.) Now that friend is get...
