A Very Merry Unbirthday to Cynthia!

Here we are sitting at El Matador and our waitress Nitra, (who I guess is my cousin...no idea how we are related) comes over and says (in a very heavy Armenian accent) "Are we celebrating a birthday tonight?" She looks around the table stopping on Cynthia, smiling. "Its your birthday" she says pointing at her. "No" replies Cynthia, "its not my birthday". Nitra doesn't take no for an answer and says "Come we will sing to you." All of us are laughing as she takes Cynthia into the other room places a sombrero on her head.

Nitra-Hey everyone it is Cyndia's birthday today..how old are you sweetie?

Cynthia-22

Nitra-Cyndia is turning 21!

CHEERS from the crowd at this point

Nitra-So lets sing to her

As the chorus of Happy birthday rings throughout the restaurant I am dying of laughter, especially the part in the song when it gets to the persons name and since no one can understand a word Nitra said, everyone mumbles past that part to finish off with a big bang of applause and a scream from me!




A very merry unbirthday my friend....and sorry about not getting you a gift I will have to be more on top of that next time! :) oh p.s. my sister just said how I am related to Nitra...she is my dad's sisters husbands niece.....yeah so I just say cousin.

School!?!?!

School starts this week....do you think I am ready? Haha not at all actually! I don't know why but it seems to have snuck up behind me and knocked me down! I am sitting here trying to pay for school and it is not working, staring at my book bag that is sitting in my closet with the tags still attached. And I am getting this feeling that this semester is going to be a challenge. I am though I have to say super excited for lunch committee, speaking of I have a meeting for in the morning at 6:30! whew I need to get to bed if I am to make that ;) hope everyone has a great first week of school...wish me luck!

Name Tags

Why do we have to wear name tags at work? I mean can't I just be your cashier, teller, waitress, or receptionist with out you knowing my name? Doesn't knowing my name make this transaction more personal over business? So now you the customer are upset when I take you yelling at me personal, but didn't you just make this personal by using my name repeatedly in the conversation, that may I add was increasing in decibels. I would appreciate you treating me like a person since by my name tag you can clearly see that I am.

And July turned to August

Ok its here....the month of August. The month I have been waiting for for a year now. Well the wedding came and it was a blast. We danced and laughed the whole night! Jackie looked so pretty, I wanted to cry when she was walking down the aisle. And Doug couldn't stop smiling, it was so perfect. Now here I sit on top of a world of questions some with answers some not so much. First off to all of you wondering no I am not going on a misson. What felt so right last year feels very confusing. It is hard to explain. And to answer your next question no I do not have a boyfriend. Haha it seems like that is what is assumed when I say I am not going on a mission anymore. I am going to school in the fall, just two classes is all. My dear friend Cynthia registered me back in April...maybe she knew something :) Speaking of Cynthia her missionary comes home in a week!!! She is super excited and nervous. Which describes my feelings as well. I had a dream last night that she got married and I was all alone, it was one of the saddest dreams I have had. But I know we will always be friends even when she is married. And speaking of marriage Krystle is getting married next week, so that is added to the crazy month. My month of maddness actually started at the end of July. With a new job, my birthday, a funeral for my dear Grandpa, and Jackies wedding..it was pretty stressful. So now all I have left is some fun stuff. Broadway in the Desert, a trip to Boise Idaho and a family reunion, the second half of the month should be a lot more fun!
