So I'm just trying this out and these are random pictures of me

Kids songs

Even though I listen to a lot of music everyday that songs that get stuck in my head are the ones from Owen's kid shows. No joke today at work I was singing a song from super why that goes a little like this "Small tall all wonderific you're terrific"....(I can't figure out the words to the rest of it and it drives me crazy). Then when I am guarding and I am on stand I always seem to sing the Sesame Street or Elmo's World theme song. Some of the last ones that I can never seem to get rid of are Diego and Dora...so I will suddenly start singing Go Diego! Go! Va mos Diego Va mos...some more Spanish words that I don't know how to spell...to rescue my friend...and so on. The one from Dora besides that theme song is "If there's a place you got to go I'm the one that always knows. I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map. I'M THE MAP!!!" It is really sad when you come to think of it. Not only do I know all of the songs but now I also know all of the cars characters. (so the words may not be exactly right but I always have the tune in my head)

Lifeguards-not the brightest

Ok so this is how smart lifeguards can be. For the past month or so I haven't been scheduled at the pool so I go into the guard room and put up a note that says exactly this..."Brooke Erickson needs shifts 543-#### I can work Wednesday mornings/early afternoons and also Sunday"...so the next day I get a call from one of the guards asking if I can take their shift on Friday...and I kept on getting calls like that all asking if I could work on any of the days besides the ones I wrote down I would work. Okay is it really that hard to figure out that if I only put down certain days those are the only ones I CAN work??? Honestly some lifeguards have issues!

Another thing that I see a lot of lifeguards do while they are on duty is blog the whistle constantly at the same person without telling them what they are doing wrong or allowing them any time to fix what was wrong. Not everybody thoroughly reads the rules before they get into the pool especially little kids! :]

Don't tell my mom that I put this picture up of her!

So last Wednesday the young women came to our game and I honestly wasn't playing that well. It always seems to work that way, when you have people come watch you try to do better but come up a little short or the other team suddenly gets really good. It is getting so close to school starting, I'm a little nervous to make some adjustments but still very excited. The thing that I am most worried about is getting a decent job so that I can still make the payments on my car and phone, and also save a decent amount of money to pay for Paris if I get accepted. On that subject, I have finished my application for BYU study abroad Paris and now I am just waiting for an interview with my uncle (just a little weird). I think it makes it harder to know what to say when the professor is related to you because they know a lot of things that have gone on with the family so you can't say...I would like to experience some of the same amazing things my aunts and mom did...that sentence sucks anyway but it shows what I mean.

Hayley said that on Sunday people were asking where I was so I guess I will tell you guys. This past Sunday my boss scheduled me at Dimple Dell and I also took someones shift, so i was working. The shift i took didn't conflict with church but the surprise scheduling at t Dimple Dell did. I know shame on me for working on Sunday...but I really need the money.

Back to Utah State, next week I am going to take time off so that I can move some things up to school. Then on Thursday Chadly and Brittany (my brother and sister-in-law for those who don't know that already) are going to show me around campus and make sure that I know where all of my classes are (I definitely would get lost if they didn't). Classes start in exactly two weeks from this Monday, which is crazy!

At tribal I am organization mode, I want to finish all the big projects before I go off to school. I like to make the front desk area look really clean and then if I don't work for a few day and it gets dirty, then it shows that the other employees didn't do anything (is that mean?). Right now I actually made a list of all the projects I want to do which includes reorganizing the back closet, the office supply area, back room, and the team area; and then I need to finish remaking the folders for the filing cabinet that holds all of the bills...after that I might even help Fish clean his office (I might finish all those before-just because things always get stuffed into his office and he has to do more work). So far I have already cleaned the front desk area to try and help them stay organized even after I leave (Gramps has issues with that) and I have clean our old team sales persons desk. Oh my gosh the guy that does team sales was so disorganized it drove me crazy, I would always stop working on it because it was so hard to know where to start...then finally Soni told me that I needed to finish it so I started it at 11am and didn't finish until at least 5:30 or 6pm (of course i took small brakes to get a drink or stretch my legs).

Sorry I don't have any fun pictures, I just haven't taken any lately

I am so excited Missy Paige, Chadly and Brittany are coming out soon to visit...so I can not have any cafe rio until they come out which is good because I eat there far too much!

10 things I won't miss

There are a few things that I definitely won't miss when I go up to school.

1-DVDs going missing, getting destroyed and lost
2-Laptop dead whenever I need it or no where to be found
3- Picking up my sister late at night or driving her and friends around
4-Coming home from work and being told to do work that could have done
5-Paying for things that have gotten destroyed/lost
6-Little sister changing the songs constantly in the car
7-Jewelry leaving my room and never coming back
8-Perfume/Shampoo/Face wash disappearing
9-Getting woken up super early so they can borrow clothes or earings
10-Getting told that I am rude because I won't do something for her...(geek)

Oh no the big 2-0h!

So it is weird that I am 20 I still feel like I am nineteen. So far my dad and Debbie Larsen are the only ones to threaten me with birthday spankings...on Sunday I'm sure my grandpa will say the same thing.
