Happy singles awareness day!

I got some lovely gifts today to bring in the lovey dovey mushy occasionally bitter holiday.
This morning I started off with a test. :) And then a guy that watched Lord of the Rings with us on Sunday brought Kristen, Lisa and I sugar cookies. ("To the girls who watch Lord of the Rings" :p There are rewards to staying awake through 12 hours of the extended version, right?)
Class time, class time, kinda old tasting chocolate covered strawberries from a bipolar boy, some library time, a couple granola bars and 'heart center' yoga later, then back to the Library. :)
You see, the library and I have always been good friends, so why not be dates on Valentines? I mean, sure, the library is sort of a player... and it's kind of a 'plig date', but a date nonetheless! I came to the computer lab (aka my second home) and google put on this cutesy little video for me. A little blob boy steals the heart of his favorite blob girl through jump roping while some Tony Bennet, "Cold, cold heart" crooned in the back ground. Romantic? Brownie points? You bet your britches!
Then, I whip out some Pandora to finish writing my 3 page yoga research paper (single. spaced. What? We're in college? AND in MLA format no less. The audacity of some teachers. ;) ), and Journey's "Seperate Ways" bubbles out of my ear buds.
... Now. Here's where the sleuthing comes in, because I'm not sure if this all adds up to a beautiful day, or a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad one.
(Because also, cute ward clerk walked past me TWICE today. Didn't even smile or wave.)
Since I'm the author of this life story though, I think I'm calling it a good day. It snowed a tiny bit, and then there was blue sky, and then some gorgeous lighting, and the chocolate on the not so tasty strawberries was still chocolate. Hence: good day. Right? :)
Plus Mr. Fix-it came and fished out a abnormally grossly large hairball from our shower and so now it drains again! (How's your appetite doing? Sorry 'bout that.)
So, since I got all gussied up, and I'm on a date... I figured I needed a picture. Ya know, like Sweethearts, or Prom?

Phew. Pretty hot stuff. I'm gonna go fall in love or somethin. ;)

(P.S remind me to tell you about Lord of the Rings after my homework is done. I'm probably going to have to wax philosophical.)

Photo barf.

I warned you it'd happen. :)
I also promised my sisters that it'd have little to no description so we could party. :)

Just dance party at Tori's for "girl's night"... Plus Jays... :)

Sometimes Kaytie turns into a scary picture jumper. We love her anyway though :)

Pintrest is a beautiful muse for hungry students. ;) nutella "stuffed" French toast!

This is how I survived the drive home. Three hours seems more do-able with Dove chocolate;)

Aub's bridal shower turned out way cute! (of course! Our family is pro by now :p ) It really was so good to just be around family and giggle and catch up and eat! ;) I pretty much just love our family, we're seriously so lucky/blessed! Sorry for the pitiful amount of pictures. My camera died and I didn't discover extra batteries until the very end. :( But Lee and Aunt SheraLyn got lots of good ones! :D
The night before the shower Aubree, Sami and my sisters all visited til 3 ish in the morning, I've missed just being able to hang out and talk. Darn this growin up business, right?
Anywho, here's the promised random picture post. Sorry, it's not as epic as I had imagined :p Happy Tuesday!!

It's a jungle out there!

But only if jungles get snow... I woke up this morning to a beautiful, freezing, wet picture outside my window. :p
Anyway, I have two and a half stories.
I should probably start with the one and a half stories that are pretty much meaningless besides it shows you how grumpy/easily entertained I am.
I came to the library after classes and such, and plopped down to do TWO math assignments. (This is why you shouldn't procrastinate in school.)
The guy who was seated to the left of me had ridiculously noisy nostrils. (How was that one, Aunt Cherene? I think it's at least a 3-5 pointer. ;) ) So I cranked up my Paul Cardall Pandora station. Guess who can breathe louder than my volume limit? So I think, "goodness Shannon. Have a little patience and just do your work." Which I tried my best to do. Noisy Shaun White got up after a couple of minutes, and I sighed a breath of relief. Two seconds later, Larry the Cable Guy shuffled in, donned some "beats" headphones, and proceeded to breathe noisily out of a tiny coffee straw. Seriously?? Haha, moral of that story? Apple ear buds are nothing in comparison to the male breathing crew at Snow College.
After Larry wandered off, a nice looking guy came and sat down next to me, left his coat, and walked off. Strange? Nah. Happens all the time. People think that their articles of clothing/ backpacks/ planners/ etc... can do their homework without them being present.
Anywho, he came back after a moment, plopped down in his chair and began to bounce around and pretending to play along with some sort of inaudible music going on down here. (Seriously, no head phones, nothing playing over the system, no computers spewing out music... just silence. His brain radio must work much better than mine.) He grinned and played his invisible keyboard for a minute or two, then got a total deadpan look on his face, walked off, and came back. He's now sitting very un-animatedly at his machine looking kinda like Frankenstein.
Moral to this story? I'm probably not going to find Prince Charming anytime too soon. ;)

Ok. Now for the one story that actually is exciting!!
I went to Subway again today. Practically begging to be hired. (Can you be arrested for soliciting a job?)
Sharon looked at me with zero emotion and told me she's already hired a couple of people and to call her in two weeks. (She said something else after that but I was too bummed to pay too much attention.)
"Sorry, but yeah, call in two weeks."
I smile, "Ok, thank you so much!" (I'm an expert actress.)
Jayson, my non-gay, gay friend winks at me from the cash register, "Love ya Shan!"
I make a frowny face at him (didn't that sound wonderfully Junie B-ish?)
This is the part I'm not especially fond of, so if you'd like to discount it, that's fine with me.
I pulled out of Subway's parking lot, changed the song from "Lucky" to "The Kill" and drove around the block so I could sing one angry song, and then go home, get over it and do homework.
(The funny part is the first thing I thought was, "Seriously? Heavenly Father how am I supposed to afford life if I can't even find a job? Where am I supposed to go next?" and then I thought, "Angry music time." and followed that with an afterthought of, "fine, only one angry song. I don't even have time to be flustered.")
Literally two minutes after I walked into my apartment, set my stuff on my bed and decided on lunch before productivity, Jays called me. From work??
Turns out Sharon realized that I was that annoying girl who's friends with Jayson and has worked at a Subway before. (Except I hope she didn't think I'm an annoying girl...) She told Jayson that as soon as he finished the sandwich he was working on, he needed to be on the phone and tell me that she wants to hire me!
Interesting how timing works out sometimes, huh?
(I think I failed that test of attitude though. :p)

Now. Back to homework... and PACKING!!! I'm sooo stinkin excited to go home for the weekend, it's not even funny! Aubree's bridal shower is going to be super adorable! And I've been informed that I'm going to have a dance party to "The Backyardigans". (They're addictive, you know. ;p)
Peace, and blessins everyone! Peace and blessins!
