HABITAT FOR HUMANITY EMBRACES EARTH DAY

In efforts to show their participation in Earth Day, Habitat for Humanity is having a free car wash Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in Provo, Utah.  The car wash will be held at their hardware store.

“We’re more than happy to do the car wash for free, as long as the people will come talk to us about Habitat for Humanity while their car is being washed,” said Kena Jones, manager of Habitat for Humanity.

Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit organization that builds hundreds of homes for the less fortunate all around the world.  Their goal is to decrease the number of poverty-stricken, homeless people by putting as many of them as possible in homes. 

“Our goal is just to inform as many people as we can about Habitat for Humanity, and what our mission is about.  If more people were informed about what we do, I think more people would be willing to help out,” said Jones.

“Habitat for Humanity is constantly having different activities and fundraisers going on.  After the car wash we will be having a concert and a woman’s build.  There are several ways to help volunteer,” said staff member, Louisa Martinez.

Habitat for Humanity is able to build these homes because of the constant support they receive from sponsors and volunteers from all over. 

“One of the best parts about having a location in Provo is that they are surrounded by thousands of college students that can help out without donating money.  There are builds that go on every day where skilled professionals teach you how to build these homes, it’s pretty neat,” said Bobby Burnside, a Habitat for Humanity volunteer.

Habitat for Humanity is constantly looking for volunteers.  To learn more visit their website at www.habitat.org.

HAPPY FOOL'S DAY

I love that it's now April, although you'd never know it by the weather, right?  Go away snow!  

So I really love April Fool's Day...and usually I sit and stew for weeks over what kinds of tricks I want to play, but it really snuck up on me this time.  I didn't realize it was April Fool's until I got my first text of the day from the Ryther...that's when I noticed the date.  Immediately I started frantically racking my brain for ideas...I was fresh out of tricks, sad day.

I just really wanted to do something I haven't done before...

I've already...

put honey on all the toilet seats

ruined the milk

filled the toothpaste with soap

put up For Sale signs

put flour in the sheets

changed the clocks

set alarms

made mom cry when i told her i got in an accident

told my babysitter i broke my arm, and actually had her take me to the doctor

broke up with a boyfriend

and

told a friend i was moving

I wanted to do something I hadn't done before, so I went to work, and then one came to me.  Granted, this is not one of my best ideas, but it's given me giggles...I decided I wanted to play a trick on a good friend of mine (who will remain nameless, for my own protection).  So I called a bunch of different family members of mine and gave them this person's number and told them to ask him about his car he was "selling" (which of course is not for sale).  I had people ask him how many miles it had, what price he was asking, if they could test drive it, stuff like that... 

Each time someone called it got funnier and funnier...He answered the phone almost every time, and he seemed to be getting more frustrated with each call.  His response was usually, "You know what, I'm not selling my car, so don't call me!"  ha ha ha 

What's even funnier is, the times when he doesn't answer, I tell them to leave him really long messages and call back several times.  

The best part, is the message I got from him a while ago saying, "I keep getting all these calls from these idiots who think I'm selling my car..."

I've been laughing the whole day...

Another Assignment...

MCDONALD’S SHOOTING

A McDonald’s clerk was shot at early Saturday morning in Salt Lake City when she explained to the customer that only breakfast was being served. 

Immediately after the clerk told the customers that only breakfast was served at that hour, a white Dodge Intrepid pulled forward to the window, and two male Polynesians got out of the car, one pulling a shot gun from the trunk.  The suspect fired one round at the drive-up window, then quickly sped off.

No employees were injured according to Salt Lake City’s police report.

I want...

I recently got back from Santa Barbara, California and it rocked my socks! We did so many fun things...it was just the break I needed from school and work. But I hate coming back from trips...I feel like I'm in a weird funk and I hate trying to get back in to the groove of things. Because of this, there are many things I want.

First and foremost, I want to be back in SB...badly

I want to sleep in

I want to play guitar hero on Trista's couch

I want to bask in the sunlight on the beach

I want to eat BJ's pizza and pizookies

I want to listen to shine

I want to laugh with my friends about the dumbest things

I want to see Chris in an in-n-out hat

I want to balance on a see-saw

I want to go to disneyland

I want to stay up late watching movies

I want to argue over which movie we will watch for a half hour

I want to be so tired that everything is funny...oh wait, i am

I want to eat an in-n-out hamburger and chocolate shake that is more than 1,000 calories

I want to go shopping

I want school to be over

I want to be able to take 4 hour naps

I want to see becca's booty

I want to make fun of Chris for being grumpy

I want to laugh with my girlfriends

I want to not shower for a week

I want more hair ties Trista!

I want to be in Costa Rica with ma and pa

I want Marcus to get his license

Is that too much to ask?

The Feature Beat

I talked to 5 people about what they'd want to hear about in the feature beat and this is what they said:

Madelyn Tucker:  Wants to know what events are happening at Thanksgiving Point.

Marcus Peterson:  Wants to know what concerts are taking place at UVU.

Jane Dee:  Wants to know about theatrical plays.

Todd Radden:  Wants to know about on-campus involvement and activities.

Jordan Rushton:  Wants to know about concerts as well.

Excitement. Grooviness.

So I don't know if grooviness is a word...but I really like the word groovy, so I think that grooviness should definitely be allowed.  

So I need to write on my blog again, but I was hurting my brain trying to come up with something to write about, so I decided on something real original...spring break.  Ok, so it's not that original, but it's still something we're all thuper duper excited for, right?  We're at the point where when you hear that alarm clock in the morning all you want to do throw it through the wall.  I used to like walking through the halls going to class...but each step is such a drag now...and you can almost physically feel the enthusiasm that has been sucked from the classes.  I give a big "Hail yeah!" to the person who enforced spring break.  It's that little push that gives us that boost of rejuvination to finish out the semester!  

And that is why I am excited.  I get a break!

Bring on sunny California!!  I am so excited to break out the summer clothes and be done with Utah for a week.  Hopefully my bod will get re-acquainted with the sun again and I won't come home as pasty white as I was when I left.  Road trips rock.  Junk food.  Music.  Friends.  Squishiness.  I can't wait!
