Bob

So today at work, I had one of the CRAZIEST guys come in! This kid was legit insane!

I was just working away when this kid walks up to my desk. I greet him like everyone else and asked him if he was there for an appointment or if there was something else I could help him out with. He proceeds to tell me that he was there to help promote his business and he began telling me about this AMAZING deal they had going on. He works at 5th South Salon & Day Spa and they were having a 90% discount. That's right 9-0! He told me all about the deal and how if you just paid $48 you would get all these great things. I told him I was not interested and that of course shocked him. He proceeded to tell me that I would get a nice new haircut. I told him I had friends that I went to for my hair and then he had the nerve to tell me that the people at his salon were "professionals" and could really make my hair look so much better. Really dude? You are going to start ragging on some girls hair thinking she will want to go to your salon after you insulted her?! I mean COME ON!!

Well I told him I was not interested and he finally accepted that. But then asked if he could talk to some of the other employees. I told him all the therapists were back with patients and wouldn't be able to come up. That must have made him even more determined to talk to one of them because he would not stop asking. I told him that they wouldn't be able to and that he would be better off trying somewhere else. Then I turned and went back to my work and he left.

But I was mistaken... He didn't leave... He went to the back where all of our patients were breaking so many HIPPA rules because he saw my boss and one of the other owners walk back there. So he goes and starts talking to them about the amazing deal. Jason was mad. He kept telling the kid to come up to the front to talk with him, but crazy was like "Who are you? The owner?" making Jason even more mad at the idiot. Finally the kid goes up front with Jason and I walk back and see him there and was so confused. Jason was explaining to the kid that it was inappropriate what he did and that he just violated all those patients privacy and told him that he needed to leave. So the kid walks off and then Jason called out and asked him for his name. Without turning around he said his name was Bob.

So right after Bob had departed, Jason comes up and starts asking me what in the world happened and I started to explain when Bob pops back and starts telling Jason not to get mad at me because it wasn't my fault. Jason had reached his limit by this point and told Bob that there were certain procedures that needed to be followed and that he was inappropriate in his behavior, but obviously Bob didn't get it and just kept telling Jason it wasn't my fault. Finally he left for reals. And I explained everything to Jason and it is now just a funny joke to us.

So there are a few things I'd like to say to all you "Bobs" out there:

1. Learn what is appropriate and inappropriate in a medical setting. Patients don't want random people to walk into the medical office and see them. It can be a very sensitive thing they are dealing with.
2. When someone tells you no, they mean it the first time. So listen the first time and don't make them keep repeating it to you.
3. Don't piss off Jason.

Hermana Kaitlyn Smith

Yesterday, I had the chance to go with some of my family to Provo to drop my older sister, Kaitlyn, off at the MTC. She will be serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the Argentina Buenos Aires North mission. It was sad to see her go, but then you could see the excitement in her eyes and could tell that this is what she needed to do with her life.

Kaitlyn has been a great older sister! Such a wonderful example to me in so many ways. She has been a constant in my life. I've always been able to confide in her. Kait helped me through one of the hardest times in my life. She would just tell me how it was and not hold anything back. She has always had such a strong testimony and love for the church and our family. I've always looked up to her!

I was looking at our "friendship" on Facebook yesterday before leaving for Provo. It was fun to see some of the things we would write on each others walls. It definitely brought back some great  memories. Namely planning to go to the Dashboard Confessional and Snowpatrol concerts (neither of which we went to), getting all hyped up for the Keane concert (which was epic), planning phone dates to watch the TV show 'Flashforward' together, and just other random facts we'd share with each other.

Its hard to see my sister leave, but I know she is doing something so great with her life. I will miss her everyday she is gone and cannot wait until I get to give her a hug in 18 months. I love my big sister!!

GOOD LUCK ON YOUR MISSION HERMANA SMITH!!

Oh the Memories...

You know when you'll be talking with someone or looking at something...

And then all the sudden a random memory pops into your mind...

And you start laughing at the dumb memory...

And then people stare at you all funny like...

And then you try and explain the memory to them...

And then you are the only one laughing SUPER hard at it...

And then you say "I guess you had to be there"...

And then you feel awkward....

Those moments are the greatest!!

Hopeless or Hopeful?

I have always considered myself a 'Hopeless Romantic' type of girl. I thrive on romance! I love hearing everyone's love stories. Romance novels are by far the best ones to read, and if a book doesn't have some type of romance in it, I find it boring. Romantic comedies are my favorite movies to watch (what can I say I'm girl... I like chick flicks). I keep all the wedding invitations I have ever been sent. And although I am not a fan of wedding receptions, (and will not have one for my own wedding day) I love going just to see the happy couple and how in love they are. Hence all of these things I love, I have considered myself a 'hopeless romantic'. It wasn't until last Friday I've changed my mind.

I had a discussion about being a 'hopeless romantic' with Justin and was explaining why I thought I was a 'hopeless romantic'. I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm just a silly girl who is in love with love, which is definitely true, but I'm ok with that. As we were talking about it, Justin made a very good point. He told me that to him a 'hopeless romantic' was someone who loves love because they are don't have hope that they will have their own love story. I am definitely NOT that way. So we decided a better term would be a 'HOPEFUL romantic'. 

I am very hopeful that I will find that someone that completes me and makes me smile all the time! I love the thought of loving someone so much that I would do anything for them and knowing they love me just as much! I love thinking of what our life will be like in the future. Being the 'HOPEFUL romantic' that I am, I can just imagine us getting old together and our little kids running around and our house and all the fun things we do together. I am hopeful that one day that right guy will come along and just sweep me off my feet and we'll have the rest of eternity to spend together and I will be the happiest girl in the entire world! 

We should all be 'HOPEFUL romantics' instead of 'HOPELESS' ones!

The Joys of Roller Blading

Last night, I was able to experience the awesomeness of roller blading again. I was nervous at first. I knew I was going to fall and make a complete fool of myself, but luckily I didn't. It was actually so fun! I had forgotten how much I truly enjoyed it. My roller blades were kinda lame and wouldn't keep rolling... They would just stop if I stopped moving. It was kinda funny considering Justin's wouldn't stop. I felt bad because he would be so far ahead of me and have to turn around and wait for me. But it was quite funny. If I had money and really strong passion to be awesome at roller blading I would definitely buy these:

They look so legit! And apparently they are supposed to make you feel like you are ice skating more than anything. Super smooth. Maybe one day I will have the desire to be awesome and buy these skates.
