Inside The Little Payne

HeLp!

So.. last week aparently there were 20+ viruses that got onto my computer.... And there is something that keeps poping up saying I have to spend $40 online to debug it... should i trust it? I think it says it's 'windows defendor' but it has a different icon than any other windows icons... Or should I just go to the store and buy something? Or just take it into a computer place and have them do it? Help!!

Be Careful Of What You Eat!!

2009-01-20T15:51:00.000-08:00

So, we went to eat at chili's for lunch today..

I am almost 100% certain that our waiter is slightly confused about his gender,

and has some weird need to let everyone else know...

ANYWAYS....

I got a salad with my entree just because I thought I might eat something healthy...

That's a good thing, Right?

Aparently not.

When my salad arrived, I picked it apart a little

(a habbit since working at Friendly's.. You never know whats in there..)

and come to find out, there's some extras in there.

It looked as if someone spilled something in the cheese and never cleaned it.

Now it was moldy.

The waiter came back, and was asking what's wrong.

And he grabs my plate and puts it almost to his nose..

and decides that it was Feta cheese...

He went and got me a new salad, and redecided that it wasn't Feta,

but Jalapeno pepper jack cheese... which of course they put in all the salads..

BUT, the next salad and Steve's salad had no trace of pepper jack cheese...

Aparently.. A thourough search is always needed if you aren't making the food yourself..

...YES.. I am a slacker...

2009-01-18T21:19:00.000-08:00

So, I am the biggest slacker.. I haven't been on my blog in forever!!! I am going to try to remember to get on at least once a week.. That is one of my new year resolutions...

I also think that moving to Logan has not helped the situation.. Here's what's been happening..

One of my dogs had puppies... I was up every night for quite sometime becuase I tried to save one that wasn't doing so well and had to get up every hour and feed him.. I have no idea how you moms do it!! But I have a new found respect for you!!! The puppy I have left, Is super cute!! and he is the sweetest puppy I have ever been around! (but that could also be because he's brain damaged.. literally)..

I am working at Michaels Craft store... And it's really not as fun as i thought it would be... but.. it's a job.. I am also trying to get my dog training up and running.. Already have talked to quiet a few people...

Yesterday I started recovering my couches.. I got them from Tommy and they have taken a beating!! I just couldn't take it any more!!! I will take some pictures tomorrow...

I cannot remember the time when I wasn't sick... I had the flu, then bronchitis... and now I am down to a runny nose and cough.. so that seems promising!

On a good note, my neighbors are awsome!!! It also happens that Nate is the first councelor in our ward.. But they are super friendly and helpful!! They even loaned us a washer and dryer!!!

We are in a need for Rumples to come and visit.. There are cats that run rampant and howl all night!! Aparently they are leftovers from a previous resident...

Moving

2007-12-08T19:09:00.000-08:00

So i completely shocked Steve tonight, Tom called and with in three hours, i had all my sstuff packed and ready to go. I am more than ready to get out of my apartment and don't want to be here any longer than i have to be... so, yes i am packed!! I also found out that he is a very jealous man.. I started talking to a guy that i meet a while ago and lost touch with and Steve has been asking 50 million questions about anything and everything to do with this guy.. I find it all very interesting...
Anyways, invetations are almost ready to be printed and sent out... It's just taking a little longer because Steve is helping me stamp them.. And I have a job offer from my apprentice dog trainer.. we are meeting next week to work it all out... We will have to wait and see how that turns out...

What dessert are you?

2007-11-19T19:29:00.000-08:00

You are Strawberries with Cream

Fresh and uncomplicated,

you are always enjoyed but often overlooked.

You're confident in who you are.

You don't need a facade to feel better about yourself.

Here are some of the engagement pics.

2007-11-19T18:33:00.001-08:00

Yes, I am a slacker..

2007-11-19T18:21:00.000-08:00

Yes, it has been quite some time since I have last blogged. But, sad as it is, there isn't much to tell... I can no longer stand to have roommates... I will be moving into Tom's apartment.. I am doing lots and lots of flowers and quickly running out of room to put them.. Steve and I hide out in the car and watch movies because I cannot stand to be around anyone.. I got a raise at work the other day for being a jerk to another employee.. Steve and I got our engagement pictures finished.. I am done with my volunteer work at the animal shelter that had the convicts working there.. My final dress fitting is comming up shortly.. and it's only about another three months until the wedding!!

I have found out that aparently I have fallen off the face of the earth since I am engaged.. (One of the guys at work had to explain this to me one day..) But I guess that is a good thing because I don't have to worry about being hit-on by guys..

Anyways.. I am off.. don't quite know what it is that I am going to do.. but going I am..

Blindfolds are so over rated!

2007-08-22T08:48:00.000-07:00

I don't know what the big hype about wearing a blindfold is!! Besides the obvious of not seeing where you are going, you can't breathe, it may smell (like cardboard), and you have to rely on the other person when you are going to step over things or when there is a step up or down!! All of these reasons are why i dislike blindfolds~ especially not seeing where i am going!! I HAVE to see where I'm going!
But I guess it was alright, seeing as he proposed again and this time he had the ring and got down on one knee. So it's official! We are engaged!! We don't have a date, but it will be sometime after this semester is over...

Logan River Trail

2007-08-02T19:55:00.000-07:00

These were taken on a hike up the Logan River. It was a 3.4 mile hike and the

river weaved through and around the trail. It was beautiful and it was early enough

that it wasn't too hot outside.

Heres Steve

2007-08-02T15:35:00.000-07:00

So due to the high demand for pictures, here they are! These are some pics of Steve and I from the past few weeks.. Enjoy!!

These were taken by his Sis in Logan.. His family is just as great as he is and they are so much fun to hang out with!

Menageries

2007-08-01T09:33:00.000-07:00

These were some of the animals that were at the menagerie in Logan.

I have serious issues with these places and this one was no different!!

If i could have found anyone, I would have yelled at the whole staff!

Anyways, there were mostly ducks and geese and things...

Logan Temple

2007-08-01T09:23:00.000-07:00

These were taken on July 13th at the Logan Temple. I went up to Logan to meet Steve's family and we visited the Temple and has all kinds of fun. His family is just as great as he is and they are incredibly friendly!

Butterfly or Little Girl?

The Lost Photos

2007-07-17T11:42:00.001-07:00

These are some of the photos from when I was watching the girls..

Emma decided to put on some chapstick on Sunday before church...

Sprinkler Fun

2007-07-12T18:59:00.001-07:00

So i forgot to add on the last blog.. Sprinklers are great!! haha! On Saturday night (late saturday night) Steve and I decided to have a little fun.. We went to the first park that we could find and ran and played in the sprinklers! I had no idea how much fun they could be.. until I slipped and fell on one of the sprinkler heads.. and I have the bruise to prove it.. All in all it was great I never knew what I was missing out on and I highly recomend it! haha!!

Singles Wards..

2007-07-11T12:11:00.000-07:00

So I have moved into my new apartment and my room mates are fantastic!! I couldn't ask for better girls to have! I started working at Super Sonic on Monday and that is going great! Everyone is very friendly there too!! I also went to my first Sunday in a singles ward.. I am not too sure about it yet.. I don't like meeting at BYU..It feels weird.. and ward prayer is very different as well.. I was getting into bed and all of a sudden there were people singing really loud and my one roommate came in and told me that it was time for ward prayer and announcements and to sing together.. I had no idea what she was talking about.. It will take a while for me to get used to it i think.. But, it happens...

Still behind

2007-07-06T08:21:00.000-07:00

So still no pics.. I had found my cable, put it somewhere safe, and cannot find it again. Aparently it's really safe... So I won't ruin the stories by telling them with out the pics.. And I know that I am really behind on pictures now. Sorry, you still have to wait.. I moved into my apartment yesterday.. It's deffinately different, but I got to sleep in today!! And my roommates are great! And I have already meet a few of the guys in the complex.. Aparently the girls in my apartment and a few others have dinner four nights out of the week and it alternates who cooks... so I am already cooking next Thursday! And on Sunday my apartment is suppsed to be singing in sacriment and they haven't even picked out a song or anything yet!! And of course I didn't bring any of the sheet music that I had at home.. Anyways, I am off to apply for more jobs.

Another Date

2007-06-24T16:03:00.000-07:00

So I applied to a few jobs on Friday.. and three hours later I got a call for an interview!! Haha!! I think that was the fastest call back ever! Steve took me out to Olive Garden and we went to a park and we played on the playground (and it was so much fun!!). Then on Saturday we went to Temple Square. We went on a train (completely over rated!!) I will never go on one again. We watched the Joseph Smith movie, walked around the temple and the square and watched the pioneer movie and a movie on eternal families inside the visitors center. It was a beautiful day and I will have to update with photos later when I get to my cable. And today I went to my first singles ward.. it was deffinately interesting.. but it was fun. AND it's awsome out here!! I can't wait to get back! It's hot, but it's a good dry hot! Anyways.. thats all for now..

So aparently every one is dying to know...

2007-06-21T08:45:00.000-07:00

So I went on a date basically all day on Saturday.. and no it wasn't supposed to be an all day thing, but it happens... We went to a park for a picnic, went to the movies (which is the reason it turned into an all day thing..), we sat and talked for quite a while, and I actually got to see stars!!! The last date didn't even compare to this weekend with Steve! And everyone aparently wants to know about him. So here we go: Steve is from Logan he's going to UVSC and wants to be a kindergarden teacher. He went to Florida on his mission. He comes from a family of six kids... I have known him for a few months now and I thought that i had a pretty good idea of who he is. But he is so much better than i thought!! He's an amazing guy and he even opens doors!! (I guess theres a first for everything! haha!!). Anyways.. We are going up to temple square on Sat and then to a singles ward on Sunday (which I think is weird because we dont have any in NY..) But.. thats all for now I guess! I can't think of anything else to say.. I'm a lil tired this morning..

Traveling

2007-06-16T05:54:00.000-07:00

So, I'm in Utah!! The flights were actually really good!! (shocking i know!!) And the layovers were ok as well.. no creepy people thus far.. And its great to see John, Tara, and the girls!!! I seem to have to win Ruth over still- she's not too sure about me.. However.. My bag seems to have gotten lost.. I was promised at the airport that i was going to get it last night, so i wasn't very mad at all.. Well at 2:30 this morning, NO BAGGAGE!!! So called.. no one was there and the automated person said that they still hadn't located my bag!! So I went to bed last night angry.. And this morning, I called and spoke to a person and she said that the delivery people had picked up my bag at 6:30 this morning and within 12 hours i should have my bag!! So I have been in the same clothes for 24 hours!!! Needless to say, I wasn't very nice to the person on the phone... Anyways.. life moves on...

My first date being single..

2007-06-11T09:59:00.001-07:00

So I went on a date the other day with a guy from Texas... He is a pretty cool guy.. He's in the Air Force. Called me ma'am (I couldnt help but laugh!!). We walked around the church sites and it rained a little. But it was a date and he is fun to talk to, but I dont think there will be a second date... It happens... on to the next one!!

2007-06-06T15:26:00.000-07:00

..So last month was interesting.. I graduated from NCCC.. havent gotten the diploma yet because I didn't walk... I quit my job at the Zoo and started going back to church (a whole story in itself..). And I started running, thought better of it and now I try to ride my bike every other day or so... And I started getting things in order so that I can hopefully move the first week of July-if all goes well.. I think that is about it..

I made it!

2007-06-06T14:22:00.000-07:00

Well i made it to my 21st birthday!! I went to Kirtland, to see the church sites!! It was the best birthday ever!! haha!! I got to have steak and rice and corn!! and the best cake that any of us have ever had!! Its called a banana split cake!! Rumples is trying to get a mouth ful in the pic.
