sooo...what to talk about what to talk about. well last sunday (seems like ages ago), i had to work from 8-4. that sucked cause i had to be there for 3 hours before Shylers even opened to help prepare for the day. I was going to bag pork (yum) with Alicia, but she wasn't there yet so I had to make the shells for the salads. to do so, I put the tortilla shells in the grease and put these huge pot things over them and squish the shells down in the grease. then i set the timer (which was almost touching the ceiling and i literally had to jump to hit it). when the timer went off, i was to take the pots out of the grease and pick up the shells (very hot, might i add) and place them on this rack to dry. then i would put more shells in the grease and set timer. while the second batch were cooking, i was so take the shells i had previously cooked and place them in these huge plastic containers. I had to fill 9 lexans (the plastic things) with small shells and 6 lexans with the big shells. now these things are huge. i can only carry one at a time when it's empty! so i looked at the clock and i had one hour left and had only filled 4 lexans of the little shells and one of the big shells. but close to when i started doing the shells, i accidentaly touched the metal wire part that goes into the grease....all i have to say is that if you had an extreme hate for someone, you would probably want to touch them with this thing. owww, it hurt soooooooooooo bad!!it was red and i couldn't really see anything wrong with it but i couldn't get it close to the heat or else it hurt even more. and they were cooking potatoes in boiling water in these HUGE metal pots right next to me and i kept hitting the back of my hand and my forearm on them!! it sucked. so it was about 10:00-10:15 and i was getting a big shell out of the grease when it fell, spalshed grease on me, and i dropped the tongs in the grease, which made even more grease get on me, and then i was trying to grab the shell and my thumb was fully emerged in the grease. OH MY GOSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. it hurt so incredibly bad! Marla was there and she saw what happened and took me over to the sink and stuff. i was bawling my eyes out! everyone went by and was like, "what happened?" and marla goes, "grease" and they were like, "OHHH, ARE YOU OKAY?!?! OH MAN, THAT HURTS SO MUCH!!"...needless to say, that didn't help any. they said my thumb might get a blister, but for now it's just a little white thing...looks odd. but yeah. and the finger that i hit on the wire thing, it looks soo ugly. i'm really praying that it isn't there forever. so that's my exciting work story. and almeta, mama, fasha, and i went to hacienda last night hoping to see andre, but instead we ran into the Bair's. we see them allllll the time there! everytime they go they see us! we walked in the door and the first person we saw was Mr. Bair and we all 5 said, "everytime!!" it was funny. steven had a hot friend with him! teehee. he kinda...kinda looks like that german kid at school. or australian or whatever he is. but yeah, and he had gorgeous brown eyes!!!! ryan was talking with me about...well stuff. no, Lauren, don't let yourself do this. ahh, i'm listening to christmas music right now...have been for a while actually. I love...absolutely LOVE Christmas music!! never the wrong season for it, as i always say. had fun with jess and tiffany at lunch today! FYI. well almeta might come over later if she isn't acting weird. so i'm gonna do my homework! buh bye!!!
