Sweetness!

Alright, there are two different candies that I absolutely love!

The first one I came across about two years ago while helping with the easter egg hunts at work.  We were spreading out candy and I came across these "Sweettart Chews." I took one bite, and I was sold.  The only downfall to me loving this candy is that it is only sold in the mixed Wonka bags in stores usually around easter or Halloween.  I take advantage of the times I can get a hold of this goodness.

The second one I encountered last month while doing, "Annie Get Your Gun," at the Empress Theater.  I decided during one of the shows that I wanted to buy some airheads, so that's what I did.  One of them happened to be a pink lemonade airhead.  I decided, why not, and got it from the concessions.  When I got back to the girls dressing room I decided to eat that one first.  It was like taking a bite out of heaven.  It was AMAZING!  The girls in the dressing room all laughed at my face.  No joke, for the next week I bought up all of the pink lemonade airheads from the concessions.  I then decided that I wanted to buy a whole case worth online, so that is what I did.  I can proudly say, I do not regret that decision.

What candy is it that you guys absolutely love?

Friend Zone?

I have this friend that I get to interact with twice a week.  When I first met him he had a girl friend, so I just decided to get to know him, and become a good friend.  He ended up breaking up with his girl friend not too long ago.  He then would chat with me about this girl in Provo that he really liked.  I gave him encouragement and advice to go and pursue it.  (To give a little insight into the story he is going to leave out of state for the summer to work.) Last night at one of our encounters he gave me a hug before we all left.  That was the first time I had got a hug from him.

The same night on Facebook I told him about how I was kind of sad that one of our mutual acquaintances didn’t show up.  I then told him about how I was kind of starting to like this acquaintance.  He told me that he thought it was cool, and that I should keep inviting him to gatherings so I could get the chance to talk to him more.  I told him thanks for letting me talk about it.  He told me that it was not a problem and that he knew that I trusted him when I told him about stuff like that.  He then said that he knew that I put him in the friend zone so he’ll now never have a chance with me and then ended it with “lol”.  I was drawn back with this, said what, and then told him that I didn’t know that I did that, but okay. He then said that if someone talks to you about someone they like and it isn't you, in his book it means they aren't into you.  I then responded with that it wasn’t true in my eyes, but I’m not the typical girl.  If I talk to someone about stuff like that it means that I’m comfortable with them and trust them.  I told him then that I honestly wouldn’t turn him down to a date.  He then responded with “Ha ha ha, maybe when I get back.”

So, I am left confused. Was he just joking? Or was he serious? Was I in the right of being confused? In his standards, didn’t he put me in the friend zone too when he talked about the gal from Provo?  How do you define the friend zone? How do you know if you are in the friend zone? Why is there this stupid thing called the friend zone?  Or was he thinking that since he's leaving next week for four months that, "What the hey, I'll tell her that I'm interested?" I’m looking for your opinions. :)

*Let me clarify: I am not really into this person, just was kind of interested*

The Odd Tender Mercies of Life

I feel bad that I haven't posted in awhile, but, well, I've been busy. I have many posts planned for once the semester ends.  My day today deemed worthy of me posting, so that's what I'm going to do.

Many of you may know that I have found a new love for the musical "Through the Looking Glass: Alice the Musical."  Titus Productions gets to have the opportunity to put on the U.S. premiere of the show.  They haven't put up the auditions yet... I feel like I've been stalking their page every day, checking to see if they have posted anything.  I instantly fell in love with the music, and ordered the album from England about three weeks ago. The site didn't send me a shipping code or anything... I almost lost hope of getting the album but I had the feeling to check the mail box before I went to work today. Surely enough, it was there. My heart jumpped a beat and I was beaming with excitement as I climbed into my car.  I then got super sad because my car doesn't have a CD player.  When I got to work I shared my excitement with my boss and she then in return told me that she would allow me to listen to it in the bus while I picked up kids from school. I was excited.

When I was driving the bus today picking up kids from school, before the intersection there was this little dog in the middle of the road. Cars were swerving around him. It was crazy. I was turning right, and for some reason I decided to slow down. And then for some reason unknown to me, I still don't know why I did it, I opened the drivers side door of the bus looked the dog in the eye, and told him to get in. He then climbed into the bus right away, which surprised me.  At that moment it was like we could understand each other.  The kids were freaking out wondering why I picked up this random dog. I'm almost back at work and I'm wondering, "What am I going to do with this dog?" "What is my boss going to do?" "What possessed me to pick up this creature while I was at work?"  My boss handled it well and laughed at me.  We ended up finding it's owner.  Moral of the story, the kids at work think I'm some savior and my boss's boss said that there is never a boring moment at work.

Still don't know why I picked up that dog.  I had the impression to pick up the dog, and I was like, okay, and picked up the dog.  I will honestly admit that I don't really care for dogs.  It was weird.  When I saw that poor creature in the middle of the road, I kind of related to him.  He was lost, scared, things were moving fast in front of him, and he had no way of getting to safety.  I was this dog's personal savior today.  We all need that someone to reach out and save us at those times that we are in utter despair.  Today I can truly say, "Thank goodness for those guardian angels, the spirit, and the atonement."
