So this week is USUs Spring Break and I haven't been working. For those of you who don't know, USU is going through some major budget cuts and required all full time employees to take a mandatory furlough with no pay during the week of spring break. Pretty much they shut down the University.
Since I have been unemployed for the week, I have had lots of time on my hands. I have cleanded, done lots of laundry, worked out, traveled to SLC to see my friend Jon in a musical as well as stay with my old roommie Danielle. It has been fun, but I am really looking foward to going back to work and getting into my routine again. It has been about a month since I have been in my routine. The three weeks before spring break I spent traveling the state of Utah recruiting with USU Admissions and visiting all of the Distance Education Centers. During this time, we ate out..drove...slept...recruited...ate aggie icecream...and continued on this cycle for a couple of weeks. Needless to say, I gained five pounds and desperately want to loose it and feel good again! Hence looking forward to getting back into my daily routine. I cannot wait!
Yesterday was a beautiful day, so I decided to take my car to get washed. I had a free wash from my last fill up with gas so I went to the automated one that has the cool blue rollers that I remembered as a kid. It was cool!!! I had a funny thought before I went in, wondering if anyone ever got stuck in the car wash (both doors close upon entering during the winter months). I figured it probably doesn't happen often since the three cars ahead of me made it through just fine. It was now my turn, I drove through my car was washed, then dried, then the equipment shut down and they doors never opened! I was STUCK!!! I was shocked, thinking this just happened to me...it was funny! I grabbed my cell phone (which I also wasn't going to take with me...but had a feeling to) and called my roommate to tell her what just happened and asked if she would find the phone number to the gas station so I could tell them I was stuck in their car wash. She proceeds to tell me that the phone number is not in the phone book, so I told her to go in my room and google it on my computer. As she was getting ready to do it, an employee came in and let me out. It made me wonder if they have a sensor that goes off when someone gets stuck! I thanked the employee, drove off and thought about a quote..."What you think about, you bring about." I learned after this experience to not think about the negative, because you never know when something is going to happen. I have to say, I had a good laugh over it, as well as my friends and family that I told!
Cannot leave a post without a picture. I got my haircut on Tuesday morning. I decided to get rid of my A-line and length and go for a bob with more bangs...I love it! What do you think?
BEFORE: A-line (getting too long for my comfort)!
AFTER: Bob with more bangs!
