Sad Day

Though a month seems like a long time, it is not. August is coming and its coming fast. I cannot believe what has happened. When I have a day off I rush around trying to get random errands done, this is hard when you have a family that you just want to be with. For now, I am all done with my laser hair removal surgery, I might go back for a follow up. Its 40% off so heck, why not! I officially have my passport and my oral surgery is final. In bad news, I have to get ready to go back to Rexburg. There are somethings I am not looking forward to but I have some dear ones help me through it. The boy I was interested in, is not in any way interested in me. And finally, Everett Jamba Juice lost two of the most amazing MICs. Amanda is moving back to Ohio while her husband is depolyed overseas and Steven (the GM) is moving stores. That hit like a ton of bricks. We were all prepared for Amanda but Steven's was out of NOWHERE! The worse part, tomorrow is his last day at Everett. He is seriously, the best manager I have ever had in my four years in the work force. It was just a sad day at Jamba and will probably be for the next couple of days. To make matters worse, me and another girl are leaving this next month. Hopefully the next GM is cool and will let me return next summer.

Well this is all I have. I thought about how I havent posted anything and thought I would let you in on my depressing news.

To end on a light note, this was posted up on facebook by a family friend and I LOVE it:

Today, when I awoke, I suddenly realized that this is the best day of my life, ever!

There were times when I wondered if I would make it to today; but I did! And because I did I'm going to celebrate! Today, I'm going to celebrate what an unbelievable life I have had so far: the accomplishments, the many blessings, and, yes, even the hardships because they have served to make me stronger.

I will go through this day with my head held high, and a happy heart. I will marvel at God's seemingly simple gifts: the morning dew, the sun, the clouds, the trees, the flowers, the birds.

Today, none of these miraculous creations will escape my notice. Today, I will share my excitement for life with other people. I'll make someone smile I'll go out of my way to perform an unexpected act of kindness for someone I don't even know. Today, I'll give a sincere compliment to someone who seems down. I'll tell a child how special he is, and I'll tell someone I love just how deeply I care for her and how much she means to me.

Today is the day I quit worrying about what I don't have and start being grateful for all the wonderful things I have already been given. I'll remember that to worry is just a waste of time because my faith in the Divine Plan ensures everything will be just fine. And tonight, before I go to bed, I'll go outside and Praise my eyes to the heavens and stand in awe at the beauty of the stars and the moon.

As the day ends and I lay my head down on my pillow, and be thankful for the best day of my life. And I will sleep the sleep of a contented child, excited with expectation because I know tomorrow is going to be the best day of my life, ever!

Late Night Posts are my thing.

The Maine is wonderful pop-rock-whatever band I heard from a girl that I worked with at Jamba Juice in Safeway. She posted a bulletin on myspace and I listened to them. They were so cute and fun, of course I needed to tell Lynden! I was on spring break in Georgia and they were coming to Seattle the very next week. Lynden and I went to an afternoon show and had so much fun! Now, The Maine plays on the radio and I listen to a million girls say how John Oh is their boyfriend. Whatever. However, I was at target today and saw their, I am guessing, new album for $7.99 and I bought it. That is what I am listening to right now. (:

Updated, final schedule for Fall 2010:
M, W, F: Political Inquiry 11:30-12:30
M: Intro to International Studies: 12:45-1:45
M, T, W, TH: Beginning Spanish I 4:30-5:30
T, Th: Macro-Economics 11:30-1
ONLINE: World Civilization Since 1500

And, my dear roommate, Ashley Balmforth, will have THREE of the same classes as me. Its going to be super fun. Speaking of roommates, Jamie is coming back in the fall!! She got an internship at Bear World so she is staying for the fall and I am so excited.

Along with great roommates, I talked to Kendal. I don't know if I ever have expressed my love for her, but golly it is big. She is the most real person I know and always knows how to keep me focused. I am not nervous of what she thinks about me because she doesn't judge. She listens to me complain about the silliest things and still loves me. She believes in me and is such a great example. She is super cute and has great taste in music. I am so blessed to have had her as my first roommate. We have had our ups and downs but she is wonderful, amazing, and great. KENDAL SUE SUE TITUS I LOVE YOU AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING THE BEST!!

Last night I watched 2 completely different documentaries; Hell House and Red Without Blue.
Hell House was...I don't know how to explain it but I really enjoyed Red Without Blue. Both documentaries made me think about my life and how I conduct my life. I learned a few things. A.) I am going to try not to judge people anymore about ANYTHING. B.) I will love everyone and show that love at all times. C.) I will always tell my children (if I have them) how much I love them and will love them no matter what. At first, I wrote "support" but I thought, you can love someone but not be happy about what they are doing. What I want to make clear is that i believe you can love someone and let them feel comfortable to come to you. You don't need to accept everything people are doing, it is how you conduct yourself towards someone.

1 John 4: 7&8
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of
God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and
knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

3 Subway Sandwiches, VW GTI, and my future.

First off, I ate THREE subway sandwiches this week. Not in one day of course! I have started this habit where when I see a movie in theaters I take subway. It is an amazing idea, I don't know why thought of it before. So Tuesday I saw Karate Kid with my brothers and a spicy Italian, Thursday I saw Eclipse and another spicy Italian, and on Saturday I forgot my lunch so Emma got me a BLT from subway. I need to be more adventurous when it comes to eating, not getting the same old thing. I think it is a good idea.

Second, I drove a VW GTI on Saturday!! Well, I didn't go joy riding, I just moved it from the front parking lot to the back parking lot. One of the groomers, Kristen, has the GTI and I told her before how much I love her car. Besides from talking Harry Potter and being sarcastic to each other we talk about her car. On Saturday she parked up front, which we technically are not allowed to do, she peeked over the gate and asked to watch out for her car so it wouldnt be towed. In return, I told her I was going to steal it and without hesitation she asked, "Well, wanna move it?" I of course PEED MY PANTS!!!! The groomers were laughing at me and joking I was going to be gone for awhile. I wasnt but man that baby drove like butter going down a hot frying pan. I loved loved loved it! Kristen threatened me because it is a very expensive car. My response? "I know! That is why I don't own one!!"

LASTLY (is lastly a word?!), registering for the new semester was 29 minutes ago and for the first time I got exactly everything I wanted and it wasnt so hard. Sure, the server went slow but I was so lucky. I am now starting on my major classes and I still cannot believe this will be my third year at BYU-Idaho. I wish I could say I have 2 years left but I think I will have to go over one semester. Hopefully, my mom won't freak out. So this is my Fall 2010 schedule....DRUM ROLL PLEASE....
.......
...........
..............
........................
Macro-Econ Principles and Problems: M, W, F 10:15-11:15am
Into to International Studies: M 12:45-1:45pm
Political Inquiry: M, W, F 11:30-12:30pm
Beginning Spanish 1: M, T, W, Th 4:30-5:30pm

That is 11 credits and I am adding one more class. I just have to wait for my summer classes to go through. Eeek. I am so excited for the fall!!

I never thought I would say it BUT

Eclipse wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. In fact, I enjoyed it. My dislike for Kristen Stewart doesn't change. She is still a terrible actress and looks like she is going to pass out at anytime. I don't understand how she has been acting this long. At the end of the movie Bella is telling Edward about how he makes her feel like her "true self" and I thought, "Cool! So you feel like you need to be whiny, naggy brat?" I do not think I would ever want to be her. Well, making out with a vampire I could keep up with and seeing a Native American boy shirtless and ripped would be amazing. I think you could get your white socks EXTRA white on Jacob's washboard abs easily.

Now that I sound like every other 12 year old girl in the world, I actually did other things today.

1. Oral Surgery: I went to the surgeon and I have come to that conclusion that I hate how confusing insurance is. When I call my provider and ask about prices what do they want me to think when they say they cover 100% in network? I dont know what other people think but I take they are going to cover 100%, not $1500 a year. What is that about? How about you fix that Obama? Just make my insurance company tell me what exactly they mean! I don't want to be there freaking out about going under and then told I
might need to pay $300+ because the office can only give me an estimate. Lame. Oh and even if I don't go through this I have a vellum. Can you get decent money for a pissy Valium pill?

2. CAKE DECORATING! Tonight was the 2nd night of cake decorating class and it was super fun. We did the practice boards and just did basic stuff but still...move over Ace of Cakes and Cake Boss!! Aisha might just be changing her major!! haha.

FIRST CAKE!!!!


3. ABC Family: Oh why oh why do you have to provide me with cheesey shows that rot my brain? Along with GREEK and The Secert Life of An American Teenager I have added Pretty Little Liars and Huge. Yeah, pathetic, I know. Pretty Little Liars is like gossip girl meets desperate housewives for 15 year olds. I haven't missed an episode yet!! And Huge I just discovered within the hour. Its about FAT CAMP! Gah, I do need a life. Next time someone asks why I don't have a boyfriend I am just going to direct them to this so they can see for themselves.

4. Music: Too much music reminds me of certain things and then I get sad. Don't get me wrong, I love remembering the old times but I don't want to dwell on them. There are tons of albums I cannot listen to because of this. I think that is why I have been so content with listening to the radio. No attachment, no "What if"s. Darn you Dashboard, just go away.

Another hot night, another excuse to lose almost all my clothing!

Photogenic Idea.

Before I get to the point of tonight's blog, I have some off-topic thoughts and things to tell.

1. Directors of "Remember Me"--you suck! Wow. What a terrible way to start a movie off! Well, not really terrible. It was a good way but really. How sad. ):

2. Seattle Weather-- Why did you have to get so hot so quickly? We all wanted nice weather but couldnt you just give us a cool 73 degrees with a lite breeze and SOME clouds. You know? Just be kind!

3. And with the weather, it is too hot to bake! So I baked mine and my mama's cakes for tomorrow's cake decorating class. Cannot wait!!!

4. Semester ends in 2 weeks!! Yesss!! Then back to REAL school!! (:


Now the topic: Photogenic-ness.

According to Wikipedia, "A photogenic subject (generally a person) is a subject that usually appears physically attractive or striking in photographs" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photogenic). This does not fit Aisha Danielle Ploth's traits AT ALL! In fact, I look better in person, right after I wake up. The camera is not my friend and thank goodness modeling isn't on my bucket list. Actually, being on America's Next Top Model would be a dream, but I am not photogenic, I am not tall enough, and I don't weigh the same as a newborn. Drats. Even though I am not blessed with this trait 2 of my brothers are. Drew and Kai take AMAZING pictures. They always look so perfect and the moment is captured. I have never seen a single gross picture of them and I always hate being in pictures with them. In case you were wondering, that is why I always make weird faces when my mom takes pictures. If I try to look lame in the pictures then I know its me and not, well ME. To prove my point I have some pictures. Do not be alarmed and if you don't want to see them then exit out!! These pictures are not photoshopped and are me being me. hahaha.

Ready....Set......GOOO!!!


Before bed. I thought my hair looked cute, it did. I did not. (:



I enjoyed my outfit. We were suppose to go out with the missionaries. They bailed.


I baked cakes!!


I wear that necklace everyday.


Now these two, I enjoy. Too bad my mouth is goofy.

Well with these pictures I hope I got my point across. They arent terrible but really??? How come my brothers are photogenic and I am not? I need to work on this if I am hoping to have kick ace wedding photos...or whatever else photos.



I blame Netflix, again.

Okay, really. I need to be in bed and sleeping. I am getting on a bad schedule again. I think I need to become friends with Nyquill again. Except for the whole part of me not being sick and the killer headache it gives me.

Today was my THIRD day off. Yeah, for read that right. I have three days off---in a row. It was really weird actually. I do not think I am a big fan. I finished my paper on obesity in youth and hung out with my mom. Drew wanted to go to Mill Creek so my mom and I went random shopping. It is really nice not to worry about money but I need to be extra careful. I got my cake decorating kit for the class my mom and I are taking. Oh my, it is beautiful. Now hopefully I am going to be good at it.

And BIG, important news. I, Aisha Ploth, am the 2010 Best of Show manager! That means I get to pick the best performers of each show throughout the semester and they get to play in MY show! I am so excited! I cannot wait to get back to Rexburg and just be involved. I always say I hated high school because I did not put the effort in and now in college I am! And I adore the committee members I know. My goal, again, is to meet more people and really get out there.

I need to get better blogging ideas but for now I am going to bed! oh and P.S. I picked up some gifts for my roomies this fall. I love getting something nice to kick off the semester, even if it is silyl. (:

Clap our hands and stomp our feet.

I was planning on going to bed early, but I could not fall asleep. So I watched "Loser" starring Jason Biggs. I really adore 90's teenager movies (this one was 2000 but that is close enough) and 90's music. I never thought of it until exploring pandora and netflix.

But you wanna know what I REALLY enjoy right now? The Format. Yes, The Format. Sadly they do not exist anymore, but they make me happy.

Today, I had off and I don't even know where to start. My brothers are here from their school homes and already it seems like the house is upside down. So to leave my mom alone I took Drew and Mikey out. We went around the big ole town of Monroe. We hit up some stores, subway, and saw the Karate Kid. Pretty cool, I like hanging out with them. Its nice to be around your siblings when you actual can get along with them. Oh which brings me to this thought: a turn on for me is seeing a guy getting along with younger kids and playing with them. It is just so cute and gets to me. I think its the idea of them with their own children.

Picture time!!

On Friday at the Pet Salon, Emma and I were told by the big boss to re-arrange the store. Saturday we did just that. It took 3+ hours. It was so intense but really fun. I adore Emma!! She is so sweet and fun. She is a graduate from UW with an art degree. Oh how I love those cute, art majors! Well, this pciture is the display I did!! I love it! It is showing off the summer wear for your bestfriend and some summertime fun you can have! Hopefully it does not get changed....


Seattle w/ Allen and Jarrett!!
I agree with Allen, this is a good picture. It even made wallpaper status on my phone! I think my favorite part of it is Jarrett's face--what a cutie! I miss these boys. Stupid Utah.



In other news, temple to temple relay race forms are coming along. I am just waiting for Mal's information and I can send it in! I am so excited and nervous. I need to start running my booty off!! One of the girls, Shae, thought it the COOLEST name. Ready?? LIPS, HIPS, & ASPHAULT! Great, right? I have been struggling to find a name. I really don't like cheesey names but I think this is really good. To clarify, we are a team of 8 girls doing a relay from the Idaho Falls temple to Rexburg temple in Septemeber. I am really looking forward to it. I really cannot wait to get back to school and back to feeling like I am doing something.

Speaking of Septemember, I have already started working on Mr. Allen Larsen's Birthday gift. I owe him BIG TIME! He always gets me great gifts and I am lame. I honestly forget. Well not forget but I am one of those people who thinks on Christmas Eve, "HOLY HECK!! CHRISTMAS IS TOMORROW?!?! WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN!?!?!" Bad habit, I know. I cannot be someone who goes out and gets gifts the day before or even on the event. I suck, I know.

My contacts are bluring out so that means its time for bed. G'night Moon!

Half Dressed and Ready to Go!

Yep! You read that right! I am half dressed and i need to leave in 15 minutes or less for another day at the pet salon. While I was getting the half ready I was thinking how much I love my job (well, I love love both but this is about the salon)! I might complain and get annoyed but I really do enjoy it! It is so fun and I am always learning something new about dogs and cats. I love seeing how much people love their pets. Yesterday, this lady kept telling me how much she loves her BEAUTIFUL, golden retriever, Shadow. Seeing her face when he was done was amazing. I think that's my favorite part of the job, seeing the customer's face. I really do enjoy customer service and giving all that I can. Sure, I can some mean people but that one kind customer makes it all worth it!

So for a cute story. There is this golden that comes in regularly and everytime I forget that he does this but it is so cute. So as the receptionist I get to check in the dogs (figure out what they are getting done), help groomers, order lunches, laundry, retail, general clean up, check dogs out, and whatever else. Well, when you do check out, you grab the dog's card and you figure out the charges. You tell the owner how good their dog was (99% of the time I am honest) and how cute I think it is! You ring up the charges and if there is retail. Then you go back and get the dog out of the kennel and bring 'em out! Well this golden doesn't push me down, he doesn't run to the gate, overall, he is very polite. However! Once that gate is open and he sees Daddy he is OOOFFF!! He grabs the leash out of my hand and runs ready to go. Everytime it makes me laugh!! Have you ever seen a golden do that?!?! I have not!! I love that dog.

Well I need to get my other half ready and out the door. This time I am going to keep this blogging up!!

Happy July!

Wow.Wow.Wow.Wow! Its July and been almost 2 months since I have blogged. What the heck, riiight?? I guess I just got busy and lazy. Well, I worked a lot and I did homework. I did some activities here and there. My Oma and Uncle John came over, which was so fun! Our chickens laid eggs. And I got to spend time with one of my favorite people in the world, Allen.

You can fill in the rest with assumptions because I am not really here to go into detail on those things. I was thinking while driving home from Allen's (tonight was his last night, I won't see him until..I dont know.....every time it sucks though and I get really sad. Dang emotions!) about the things I dont want to do with my life. Coming up on Junior year of college I have been checking out some internships and it makes me all sorts of nervous and excitied. I dont want to spoil any of them but I am really hoping next summer will be warmer!! Well, I still cannot figure out what I want to do but I can tell you what I do not want to do:
1. be a dog groomer
2. work in a pet grooming salon
3. make jamba for the rest of my life
4. live with my parents
5. still not have gone to harry potter world
6. be divorced
7. regret simple things
8. stray away from the Gospel

I need to work on number eight the most. I can feel Satan's ways and I know it sounds silly. Sometimes I think it would be easier if I just stopped everything I am doing and just do whatever. I know I struggle with things and I need to work on it. I WILL start. No more excuses, no more put offs. I need to start doing what is right!!

Goals:
1. exercise more
2. STUDY scriptures
3. PRAY PRAY PRAY PRAY
4. express love and kindness to everyone around me.

Those look good. On a side note, I do not like new contacts. I have to start a new pair tomorrow and I am not looking forward to it. I like old pairs that shouldnt be put into your eye. They are more comfortable and adjusted. Second, I am going to be a different kind of girl. Girls seem to always want to befriend me in order to figure me out or see if I am some kind of threat and I do not like that and I dont feel like I have done that. I have gone through so many guy's girlfriends because of this. They should know I don't want their boyfriend or their potential boyfriend and if I did he wouldnt be intersted and I dont waste my time. I am not looking for a boyfriend or any kind of relationship right now. I am clrearly unable to be apart of one.

Well now, none of that makes sense but holy heck it is almost 3!!! Well off to bed, I have work in the AM. Night!!! (:
