Brunettes do it better...

I'm brunette again! Kind of.... technically I'm a brunette/blonde/redhead thanks to the idiot who dyed my hair.

Anyway.

All that matters is that I am no longer going to be treated like अन idiot. Hallelujah!!

Last night I got to stay at the resort...it was sooo nice. I had to work an 11 hour shift from 12 PM - 11 PM and then turn around and do another shift at 7 in the morning so I checked myself into a Buffalo Vista Couch Suite. I got back to my cabin around 1 AM thanks to Danny from housekeeping. He wanted to hang out so we bought marshmallows and starbursts to roast on the campfire. It was pretty interesting...he is from Guatemala and has only been speaking English for about 6 months. He speaks it really well but there were definitely a few things that got lost in translation. He comes from a very poor family, which is easy to spot because he is so incredibly humble.

Its nights like last night and tonight that I miss northern Utah। :(


I am learning a lot down here. I was thinking earlier about how I'm already a little different now than I was when I first came. Funny how that happens isn't it?

Well, its late and I've got work at 7 again so I'm gettin to bed.


Hasta Luego!

In the beginning....

Wow, a blog titled 'in a nutshell'. I'm so creative.



Anyway.



You've reached my blog! I've moved to the outer most part of Utah civilization (Kanab) and now have more free time than I know what to do with. I always figured that the kinds of people who have blogs are the kind of people who have way too much time on their hands. So a few days ago, I realized that was me. Merry Christmas, Elise. You've arrived!



Yep. So anyway.
Yesterday I went to St. George to go shopping for some pants. I hate pant shopping! Actually, I love any kind of shopping. But shopping for pants is the most frustrating thing. You see, I just don't have a butt. Or thighs. But the problem is that most places don't carry many pants in size 0, and if they do, they are usually quite expensive. So yesterday I spent almost $120 on 2 pairs of pants. They are way cute though! But one of the pairs is too big for my thighs so they look baggy. GRRR!

I don't see why anyone really cares about my pants adventure, but since you're reading this I guess you do....or something? I don't know.
