Please, Refrain From Flexing
But working at the front desk is an adventure in and of itself as well. My favorite part of it would have to be the guys that come up to me and talk to me, and flex their muscles. It really makes me laugh. They will use the big manly machines right in front of me and look at me as they are lifting to see if I am noticing how strong they are. I just give them an obnoxious look. I thought about winking at them, but then thought that it could be slightly problematic. I don't understand it. Why do guys flex? The thing that is possibly the most annoying is that I get hit on all the time. I don't know why... It's weird. Even my boss does it to me. And the guys that I work with... wow. They remind me of Kronk. Big, dumb, and tone deaf. That may seem a little harsh, but if you met them you would understand. And they are not very crafty in their attempts to woo me. I try to understand why all of the sudden I am getting all of this unwanted attnetion from the male species, and I have come to the sad conclusion that it is in fact because I am the only female in sight for them to flex for. Flattering. There was this one guy, who's name coincidentaly was Steve, (I laughed about that one) who tried to ask me out. I got so annoyed with him because he tried to arm wrestle me, and totally let me win on purpose. What a jerk. I was so mad. Then he was proclaiming to the gym how strong I was, and I could think of no witty comeback so I kissed my muscles instead. That probably wasn't the best idea, but alas, it is done. I think that Steve thinks I am older than I really am, and his idea of taking me out would be going to a bar. So I petitioned Aaron to be my lover for protection. Luckily he agreed, and I can deal with Steve. That will be an interseting story that is contiuning to develop. I'll be sure to keep you all updated.
And another thing that I shall vent about is all of the Mormon cracks that I get from my Boss. It's not like it's really disrepectful. They are trying to be funny, but they come off as ignorant. One night I was like, I swear, if you make anymore Mormon jokes you will no longer have a left side of your chin.
So in conclusion I would like to submit to all of you big, strapping, strong men out there: Please refrain from flexing. If I want to see your muscles I will make a joke about it, and then ask. But seriously, cut it out. Thank you, and good night.

Photo Diary
This is mine and McKenzie's room. She mostly dominates it with all of her blankets and stuffed animals, and clothes. And balloons....
This is my bathroom that I share with Cooper, Nate, and McKenzie. It is a nice little room. It's a Jack and Jill bathroom, so it really ticks me off when Cooper locks the door, and I can't get into the bathroom at like two in the morning... We are working on that.
This is my library. Harry Potter, Twilight Series, and Jane Austen. What more could I want? (Variety!!)
This is Cooper and Nate's room. Charming.This is Mom and Papa Will's room. Lovely.
This is the living room. Where we live. It's cozy and has a fireplace and everything!! That's basically it. We do in fact have a kitchen, and an office, but I can't get the pictures to do what I want...annoying! Anyways, that's the grand tour. If we do move into that ranch, I will be sure to make another photo diary so you can all see how the other half lives on a ranch!!
