MY OH MY! These past few days have been crazy!! I've been in Des Moines, IA for the past two days (Tuesday and Wednesday) for my Pork Producers Mentoring class... It's been crazy! We took a school van down there and we attended the State Intern Training alllll dayy lonnnnnng... It was really slow and parts of it were boring. The information was FANTASTIC but some of the ways it was presented, and the fact that we left school at 4:30 in the frickin morning, certainly did not help. :)
Buuuut! After we got off work, we drove down to the Bass Pro Shop and had dinner and bowled! It was awesome! I had a really fantastic buffalo burger and alligator fingers. The breading on the alligator was really spicy, but once I got past that, the meat wasn't as flavorful as I thought it would be. It actually kinda reminded me of frog legs.... call me crazy :) Thennn after dindin, everyone split up into teams, and we bowled! I'm not a very good bowler.... My first game, I did ok... Well, average. But I had a couple strikes and some spares but it was an average finish. The second time? I was totally obliterated! I bowled 10 frames and I think that maybe ... twice, I actually knocked pins down. Now, in the middle of the first game, we all decided (on our game, no other team) that we would put some stakes on the game.... the winner and the loser would decide on things they wanted every one else to do that night. This, of course, was my brillant idea. So then, when the first game ended, I really wanted to win so I shouted DOUBLE OR NOTHING! Everyone agreed.... I never knew that my bowling scores would receed faster than a balding man's hairline....To end the bowling story, I lost and Austin won..... So we both decided what to have everyone do. WHOOO! Go us! Then, on the way back to the interstate, Austin taught Kyla how to peel out while driving, but it didn't work so well in the economy van... It ended up looking more like a van with sucky hydraulics, but it was HILARIOUS!!!
OMG! I almost forgot another thing that was hilarious! While we were on our way to Bass Pro Shop, McKenzie and I were watching the cars driving by.... This station wagon full of younger guys drove up even with us and I was watching them but my mind was elsewhere, so it looked like I was staring. Then they looked up at McKenzie and I and we got embarressed so we looked away... Then I was like, well that was awkward... let's wave! So McKenzie and I waved, and the guys got reallllly excited and started waving back.... then Kyla started pulling the van away and the guys tried to speed up and were rolling their windows down... I started laughing so hard I was crying. Then McKenzie yells "THEY'RE GIVING US THEIR NUMBER!!!!" We tried to get Kyla to slow down, because Austin wanted to text them and give them a hard time.... But they got off at the exit... It was reallllly funnny.
The next day we went to the World Pork Expo. That was crazy! Freeee Pork to eat, lots of free swag, and pigs EVERYWHERE!!! McKenzie, Sandra, and I had a greaaat time. :)
Yesterday, I went with Hailey and her dad to eat dinndinnnner at the Lodge and for the first time EVER I had Creme Brulee. It was sooo AWESOME! the Carmalized sugar was crunchy and yummy and the custard inside was just custardy enough. I think Hailey got me addicted! O.O
Ok, welllll matt is here with the hayyy... Gotta go!

Brand New Pedicures and Leaving Numbers
Oh my goodness! Today was a crazy good day. It didn't start out so good for me at work. But when I got off, I went over to Hailey's house and we decided to get our nails done, eat, and go to the mall. Now that sounds like a fun day, right?! It most definitely was.
Today, I got to cross off "get my first pedicure ever" on my Summer Bucket List. It almost seems weird to think I have never gotten a pedicure before. I'm not a huge fan of people touching my feet... But Hailey convinced me that they are to DIE for and that I would love it. So, I decided to follow the wise advice of one months older than me, and sat in the HUGE pedicure chair. I put my feet in the not so luke warm water (more like HOT, but soothing :) ) and watched as the lady hit the buttons on the chair and SUPRISE!!!! It's a massage chair?! Sweeeeet! It almost felt like there was a little person inside the back of the chair, hitting and walking on my back. The whole pedicure experience was something different, that's for sure. Nobody, other than myself and my Junior year English teacher, have ever touched my feet. It was strange :). But it felt nice and I really like the color I got on my toes. The warm leg wraps were nice too.....
After Hailey and I both got pedicures, we both got full sets. This was a summer first for Hailey! It was fun. Hailey is definitely having fun with them, texting and driving. Sadly, her nail technician finished her acrylics with SPARKLY nail polish! How unfair is that?! They do look pretty spiffy and spectacular. Mine look really nice too. The lady, Maren, did a really nice job on the length, so I'm uber happy.
OMG! Something else that happened today! Hailey and I went to Red Robin for dindin and we, being the boring same selves that we are, ordered the SAME thing again...Bonzai Burger and
Guacamole Bacon Burger. This, of course, is not the noteworthy part. As soon as we sit down, our server comes up to us and starts to introduce himself. "Hi, my name's Mitch and I'll be taking care of you today. What can I get you girls to drink?" And the ENTIRE time he's saying that, he's looking right at Hailey. IN FACT he doesn't even look at me until he asks me what I want to eat, then he goes right back to staring at her. I, being the super observant person that I am, decided to text Hailey. "He liiiiiiiiikes youuuuuuu!" As soon as Hailey gets it, she starts to read it out loud. Mitch (the guy in question), of course,is right behind us and totally hears Hailey. Which makes me start laughing and wondering what he is thinking. Our meal goes on, with Mitch walking by and looking at Hailey until I realize something totally cool with our silver ware.... ITS MAGNETIC! Who else has magnetic silverware? Once Hailey and I figure this out, I tell her "Use this as a reason to talk to him! Ask him if he knew the silverware was magnetic!" So, while we are waiting for him to come to our table, Hailey and I are taking pictures so we can post them on facebook and on here. Then he walks by and Hailey was all "Did you know your silverware is magnetic?!" and he kinda laughed and (while looking at her the entire time) said "Yeah, something something something metal trashcans something something the silverware sticks to the side something something and the bussers can take them out. I saw you figured that out." Which goes to further prove that he was watching her. Then I have the FABULOUS idea that Hailey leave her number for Mitch, in the server book. She, of course being the level headed person she is, thinks this is a horrible idea. But I continue to push it (and yes, I mean push it :D )and tell her that "It doesn't matter if he never texts you, maybe he has a girlfriend or whatever...it's not like you'll ever see him again anyway, if it doesn't work out." So Hailey's a trooper and leaves a note for Mitch on the table. It was super dooper exciting. We shall see if Mitch, the Looker, ever texts her or calls her.
WHEW! That was quite a bunch of things to happen in a few hours.... It's time for me to head off and get some sleep before I head on my way to Des Moines, IA for some more Summer firsts. I'll be sure to keep you updated!

The Sad Sad Story of the Bored
So, unfortunately, I haven't been able to hang out with Hailey lately. It's been sad! I was getting used to her bubbly personality again (which I had missed soooo much) and it's been a couple days since we've hung out. :( I only hope we can hang out soon and wreak havoc in this town! Everyone knows it's much needed! :)
On a happier note, I might be going to PlaMor tonight. I'm uber excited! It's been sooo long since I've been there and I really love just letting loose and having fun dancing. It's a great atmosphere with the country music and swing dancing and line dancing. Not to mention the attractive guys there! ; D I'be missed it and am glad to be going back.
I know, I know. Lately, my entries have been short and too the point. But I don't really want to keep blabbling and writing random stuff, as I am known for having the tendency to RAMBLE! I know when the time comes, I'll have lots of stuff to say and it will all come out AWESOME and radically sounding. Until then, I'm gonna stick to writing what sounds right at the moment!

Tanning in the Great Outdoors
A couple of days ago, Hailey and I decided we were going to go tanning outside her complex thingy in this little "meadow" in the middle. I have never really tanned before, outside or in a tanning bed. It was just the usual "doing chores in shorts and a tank" that got me tan in Arizona. It was quite an experience! I was able to borrow some of Hailey's clothes, as I had worn my work clothes from the Dairy store. Apparently, jeans and a black shirt are not condusive to tanning! :D So I borrowed a tank and shorts from her, we gathered towels and music and suntan lotion/sunscreen, and headed out on our adventure.
Once we walked out the door, I wondered what we were doing. The meadow was right in the middle of all the buildings, everyone's window visable. But Hailey didn't seem to care and I figured that since I have self respect and I appreciate the rules of society, I was going to keep my clothes on and therefore it wouldn't be a problem. The grass, which looked so nice and inviting from her window, was prickly and moist when we arrived on the lawn. We weren't about to be deterred from our task. Hailey and I laid our towels down, lathered ourselves with the sunscreen, and laid back, sunglasses donned, waiting for the sun to turn us into bronze beauties!
This time we spent outside (less than an hour and a half) gave us a time to talk about stuff and laugh about good times we'd had in the past. I really enjoyed it because I was spending quality time with Hailey, the coolest person in Lincoln, and we were able to relax for a little. There was a really nice breeze that day and the sun wasn't too hot. I, however, am horribly white, despite my hispanic/mexican background and will need a couple more sessions before anything is super noticeable.
I was pretty excited to cross another number off my list and I can't wait until I attempt my next plan! Tonight, I'm going to work the new "Reversed Happy Hour" and we'll see how it goes. I'll be there from 8-12:00 but Hailey will be there too, so it could definitely be fun! xoxo

The Dying of the Hair
Yup, believe it. Hailey and I dyed our hair! Dearest Hailey wanted to touch up her roots and I wanted to try something new. Something new, I did. I went from a verrry verrry dark brown to a burgandy. :D Granted, it's wash out in 28 washes, or something like that, but it's very much real. I was uber freaked out, not gonna lie. What if my hair came out GREEN or something? But Hailey had a good idea. She said we should dye each others hair and then when all is said and done, we can't be mad at ourselves for it and because we love each other so much with the "sisterly" affection, we can't be mad at each other. So I told Hailey, "Squeeze it on quick! Before I change my mind!"
For our first times, it turned out pretty darn well, if I do say so myself. My hair is dark and reddish and all around AWESOME! And Hailey's is beautiful and dark and FANTASTIC! I say we should give ourselves humungous rounds of applause. :) I do have pictures that I am going to add on here, once I figure it out. xD This bucket list cross off, was a cross off for the better!

A Summer Of Firsts
The title says it all. A Summer of Firsts. What does that mean, you ask. Wellllll, let me tell you. This summer is the summer it's all going to go down. I'm going to create a "summer bucket list" if you will, and attempt to cross everything off of there that I can. I even have plans on how to execute this crazy and wild idea. My friend, Hailey, will probably be with me every step of the way!
There are so many different ideas on this list and it just keeps going on for ever and EVER!!! I definitely plan on showing my experiences on this radical journey of growth. :D That sounded cheesey, I know. But hey! That's who I am! Cheesey. OMG! I totally love cheese too. :D NO! Scratch that, it has nothing to do with my summer of firsts.
Anyway, for my first cross of, I thought I would write about this blog. I've never really written a blog before. At least not one I stuck with. I've said, "I'm gonna write a blog, become famous, and MAKE SOME MONEY!" But that only lasts about an entry. Then I forget about it and by the time I remember, I've forgotten the login and pass word. That won't happen this time. I'm gonna stick with my awesome, super dooper blog and document all my bucket list success with photographs and blog entries. Hope you guys are excited!!!!!!
I'm gonna go now, but get ready!
