Please Deliver to: The Office Hater
Dear Anonymous Office Hater,
I thoroughly enjoyed you blog post on your hatred for The Office. Although we both know that you too loved it and went as far as purchasing the seasons. No one is making you watch it. If the Office is so "Mediocre" then a lot less people would be watching it. Websites like IMDB wouldn't be rating it at a 9.4/10. tv.com wouldn't be saying it's the 19th Most popular TV show today, and the 30th of all time. There are a lot of TV shows out there. But I suppose you are smarter than the rest of the world . Who says, "Not everyone can't be as perfect as Jim?" And, "I need to find a girl like Pam?" I've never heard that before. Maybe you and your friends are just desperate. It must have taken days to think about what to write on that blog post. Kudos on using the cool word, "mediocrity", and also saying that we are all cynical because we watch The Office. It makes a whole lot of sense. Unfortunately, as hard as you to try to be different, you're just like anybody else.
Yours Truly,
Amanda

Today I found out that I will have the privilege of going to the New Moon premier. Just like last year with Twilight. And I couldn't contain my excitement. I couldn't even concentrate to do my work. Remember this???
Well this year:
I'm dressing up like Jane. My cloak is in the process of being made.

Alone for the week
So Tyler has gone hunting for the week with his Dad. Things are pretty quiet around the old apartment. The only noises are the fan in the laptop, and the fridge. Would you make fun of me if I said I am afraid to sleep alone? I may have to bust out the night light. I have never gone to bed alone before. My awesome sister-in-law did invite me to go slumber there. I suppose I should have taken up that offer. I have done nothing since I have got home from work. Just sitting around and watching DVDs. And eating I guess. Oh, and I've updated my blog twice in one day which is some sort of a record for me if I do say so myself. I sure do miss him for him only being gone for one day. I saw him this morning, but it seems like it has been so much longer than that. I already can't wait to see him again.
Won't you take me to Spooky Town...
Remember when I said This is my next project? 
Well, here it is! It's not completely finished but here is what is done so far. Tyler and I built the Platform. We still are going to make sidewalks and a swamp.

So it's been a while since I've posted.
Look- Sometimes I feel like my Blog Posts are boring. You know. I had some stuff to write about, but pshhh... I started writing and I stopped. Anyways. Last week I went to California went my parents. Unfortunately, Tyler was unable to come. He couldn't get work off so it was just me, Clint, my Mom and my Dad. But it was a blast. We didn't go to DisneyLand or Universal Studios. That will be on a
different trip when Rusty is off his mission. We hit up some national parks. The first national park we went to was Sequoia National Park. It was awesome. Sequoia's are huge trees that are roughly 2,000 years old. When I say huge, they're huge. Some of them you could drive a car through. The bark makes the trees look fake because it's so thick and an unrealistic brown color.
Then there were also redwood trees. Which aren't as fat as Sequoias, But are taller. You would have to stack like 14 elephants on top of one another to get as tall as some of the redwood trees. That's intense if you ask me.
Have you ever seen the commercial on TV where the dad takes his sons monkey and takes pictures of it at different locations and texts it to his wife and his son gets really excited about it? Well there was two different people doing that. One older lady was taking a picture of a rock that was
painted like a money's head. She busted out this really expensive camera and was changing the lense. Then she shot a bunch of pictures of this monkey rock while there was a line-up of people waiting to get pictures infront of General Sherman's tree at Sequoia National Park. It was so funny. Then, the second was a guy with a paper doll. It was blowing all over the place. He should of used cardstock. What was he thinking? Oh, an P.S. I hope he wasn't the one who colored the paper doll. It was a little out of the lines.
Here is my parents in front of General Sherman's tree after the monkey rock lady finally left.
On with Yosemite. It had really cool Granite Cliffs, Waterfalls, and it also had some Sequoia groves. We didn't have time to hike to any of the big waterfalls because they take like six hours, but we hiked some smaller hikes.
The second night in California our hotel was right by an awesome go-kart track. It's tradition. Every time my family goes on vacation and we see go-karts we have to stop. It's like an unwritten law. Of course I placed last. I didn't want to hit into the wall. The employee made threats, and scared me. Why am I such a scaredy cat? They did haul butt. They went anywhere from 0-45 MPH. I'm pretty sure I didn't hit 45.
I couldn't believe how much agriculture goes down in California. I guess I didn't pay attention last time we went. I always knew that a lot of the produce we bought was from California, but I guess I just never thought about it. It seemed there were Orchards and Groves everywhere! We stopped by this really cool fruit stand on the side of the road and got some stuff. I wish we had fruit stands like that in Utah. We got a five pound bag of almonds for 12 bones. If you don't call that a steal of a deal, I don't know what is. And they had tons of oranges, but at this fruit stand they were yellow and green. Not like the oranges you would see in a grocery store. I asked they guy if you were suppose to wait for them to ripen, or if you just eat them as is. We bought some. They were awesome.
When we were over the California border we got stopped, it looked like a small border control. When we stopped they asked us if we had any plants or produce in our car. My dad said yes, we had some apples. The guy looked at them and said he'd have to take them. I can't believe we got our apples confiscated. That's crazy talk.
