I got a job? What?

Spriiiiiiiiiiiiiing!

I can't believe the last time I blogged was January. Probably because I didn't have a job and had nothing to blog about, except my weekly trip to Wal-Mart. For those few months my life was pretty boring. It went from super boring to crazy busy. Which I like. In a nutshell I was called into Primary as a teacher for the 8-year olds and they were ALL boys. Then they added onto my calling as a Scout leader for the 9-year olds. (Not exactly sure what they were thinking there. I'm most positive that I was the worst Scout leader.. Ever. Imagine a 25-year old girl that barely knows how to tie a double knot as your Scout leader. Yeah.. wasn't really a good fit.) But as most of you know I complained about it and somehow got released! (Thank the Heavens) and now I am the 1st Counselor in the Young Women's Presidency!! I am beyond excited about this new calling. Scouts was great.. but working with the Young Women seems to fit me just a bit better. We have a TON of young women in our ward so its going to keep me busy but I can't wait! Romney is in Young Men's so we get to go to mutual together! How great is that?! Ha.

I got a job! Its called complaining because that is pretty much what I do with it. Poor Romney has listened to me complain about working at Ruby Tuesday for the past month. (I'm a waitress; not to mention FIRST time waitress) Working there has for sure been one of the worst experiences of my life. Yet, I've made it a whole month. I do like that fact that I am constantly moving and staying busy but I desperately hate the fact that I work every single weekend. I have met some verrrry interesting people. But I better not share any stories until I am not an employee there anymore. (Hopefully my boss doesn't read this.)

Yesterday I went to the gym and it was just me and a 61-year old lady. I caught her taking a picture of herself so for some reason she felt the need to come explain to me why she was taking a picture. Her friends were down in Myrtle Beach and she had to prove to them she was still working out while they were at the beach and golfing all week. (In case you were wondering.) She was hilarious. Then she asks me to take a picture of her on the elliptical with one of the gym employees. So she hands me her iPhone and explains to me how to take a picture... I mean, I know I just had a birthday but I still think I look young enough to know how to work an iPhone. Especially when my personal iPhone was sitting right next to me. So her and this other woman both climb on the elliptical (in my mind I am praying she doesn't fall off trying to climb up there and balance while I quickly snap a "gym pic". She didn't fall and the picture turned out surprisingly great. I know if I was in Myrtle Beach and I got that picture I would be jealous of her working out. I so wish I sent the picture to my phone just to prove to you how funny this lady was. Totally made my day.

A couple things I have learned while working at Ruby Tuesday are:

1. People in the South seriously love their Sweet Tea.
2. They love their Ribs and bacon wrapped shrimp.
3. They also love their church and invite me to come with them. (I've been invited to 3 different religions in the past week. No joke!)
 **Secret: I've never had anything on the Ruby Tuesday menu except the salad bar. So if you ask me for my opinion on what I like best or what I recommend... just know that its probably a lie.


Can someone please tell me how to put pictures up on my blog?! I'm too lazy to figure it out myself. Thanks.

Come visit me at Ruby Tuesday and leave me a good tip! Ha. Jk... but really.

I'm off to wait on people!
