Life Letters...

Dear People:

Some thoughts on life.... Just some random tidbits of juicy knowledge to make you laugh and think.

1. Did you know that Pineapples do not grow on trees??? FOR REAL... Its kinda sad that I did not know this until my 27th year of life.. I felt kinda dumb. This all came up because I play those farm games on the Facebook and you can plant pineapple in the ground. I had to have a chuckle because I thought I was smarter then the developers of these games.. So I said something to Hub and made it my status on Facebook... This led into to Hub and I talking about this and neither one of us really knew so we took it to Wikipedia. They grow on this bush like thing.. Kinda weird I know. I have to give props to Wikipedia, I really do wonder how many marriages they have saved or broken up... I know I use it to solve useless marriage tiffs.

2. Did you know that I pay this kid and his family to pick up dog poo-poo in my back yard? I do.. And I think its worth $3 every time they come. I hate dog poo with a passion and I am grateful for them. I was a little weary of them at first because I did find them on the KSL classified ads and then when they showed up, Their dad made them do all the work. I just kept think WTH I would hate my dad if he made me do this... But then I let it go because they are not my family and if they really really really hated it they would charge me more. If you or someone you know have problems with poop let me know, I know some people.

3. Did you know that I think people that yell at fast food workers are seriously the stupidest people on the earth... Really are you going to stand there an yell at someone you don't know that is preparing food that is going into yours and your families mouth. Lets break it down... These people make $8 an hour doing a crappy job, are they going to think twice about not spiting in your food or putting a boggie on it... HMMMMM OR picking it up off the floor and serving it to your son... Maybe you like spit and fecal matter in your food... I know I don't so I am super nice to these people. I use to work fast food in my younger days. I worked at Subway in Alabama, I would not eat at that location today It was pretty gross and I did not care because I was in High School making $5.25 an hour I was a BIG Baller

4. Did you know I worked at Chick-fil-a in Sandy and people did not yell at us there because we were AWESOME... You have a problem with your chicken sandwich NO PROBLEM let us give you another one and a coupon for a FREE sandwich... I am pretty sure that if Chick-fil-A ran the world there would be no problems. They have the best answer for everything. I learned so much from that job and made some good friends. So much so that I would probably go back and work there If I needed a job. I did quit that job because I did get burned out of cleaning up after the Sandy/Draper elite and their 2 kids... I would like to mention Chick-fil-A's coupon policy because you know I have a coupon hang up. They take as many coupons per transaction that you have, and they don't care if they are expired or from another place. It did have to be a chicken sandwich coupon and you did have to fulfill the coupon requirements like buy a coke or another sandwich...

5. Did you know that I am still in LOVE with Chick-fil-a and am proud to say I worked there. I bet you did not know that I get a little teary eyed when I see them in the news... I do. Really how many food places have 500 people lined up for a grand opening of a store??? Maybe In and Out Burger.. But Chick-fil-A cares about YOU.. Not your money.. One of the things they teach was make a costumer not a SALE. I knew so many of our regulars and their names and what they wanted. They would WAIT in my line for ME, because I cared about them and they cared about me because if they came in and I was not there... There was HELL to pay. How dare Chick-fil-A give me a day off... Next time you are in there notice how they call for the next person... "I can help the next Guest" If they don't please say something to the manager or call the 800 number.... And my favorite thing... It was my pleasure to write this blog... YEP if you said your welcome while working you would get beat down... No not really but your co workers would promptly correct you....

So there are 5 random things that I have been thinking about... I hope you are clearly confused and feel like I have wasted 10 mins of your life. So get off the computer and get back to cleaning your house and playing with your kids... Maybe you should take them to Chick-fil-a I would if they did not use stinking Peanut Oil.... stupid allergies... OH yeah part of your chick-fil-a training included intense product knowledge. You were TESTED (for real) about what EVERY product contained. I know this because in my last year I was a Trainer there... I do have to say this... When training, train like that person has never heard of whatever it is... and tell them all about it... If you do that you will have the best trained person ever. Never assume they know anything... because chances are they don't.

xoxoxoxo,

Coupons anyone??

Dear Readers,

Remember a few weeks ago when I posted about going to grocery store and all the things I hated about it?? You DO don't you? If I could get my LINK thing to work I would post, but I can never get it to work after being told how. =( Well one of the things I said I hated were the coupon ladies and their cases of coupons. Apparently I am not alone. It seems that a lady here in Utah decided it would be a good idea to STEAL Albertson's ad flyers out of peoples mailboxes... She must really like those double coupons. YIKES Well some people saw her and it freaked them out so they called the police... Apparently the Police don't like it when you take things out of peoples mailboxes that don't belong to you. Oh its pretty wrong to steal.... Well if that wasn't amusing enough I read the comment board for this story on our local news (ksl.com) And people were going CRAZY... Crazy I tell you.. saying things like Its a FEDERAL offense to tamper with the mail and my personal favorite... I hope she has a get out of jail free coupon... Wait thats not my favorite I guess my favorite was.. I hope she saved enough money to pay for her legal fines... I am telling you those coupon people are CRAZY.... Some things I would like to point out ... Uh you can get those for FREE at the store and I think you only use like 2 or 3 per time and they expire. I wonder what will happen to her.... here is the link for all that want more info http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=7351837

Some UPDATES: I have lost 23 pounds.... and have made $2.57 from the ads on my blog. So you would think life would be coming up roses for me... But its not, I am trying not to get my depression/blues get me down... Why are you feeling this way La La La Leah...

Well apparently sometimes when we write emails to family members they don't always appreciate it. In the future I will ignore your actions and shun you silently, instead of trying to help buy telling you to read your scriptures and pray about how you can be a better parent..... So if that was not enough... Apparently my Awesome pool party was not that awesome. It seems that some people were unhappy about how I spread the cost around... So I will break it down for you... Pool Rental $169 Pizza $85 =$254... It was asked that people pay $2 for the pool and then everyone pay for pizza. I put the pool and pizza on my debit card.. I only got $175 Let's talk about cost.... Or lets not and be grateful that we could spend time together as a family and that Leah and Hub likes us enough to invite us and our family to a good time and not have to worry about the cost. In the future I will think twice about doing events and who I invite. So Damned if you do... Damned if you don't... How are we still all alive??
