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!!! (:

One Day At A Time
This is what I need to keep telling myself. Only one day at a time and I can make it.
So my next day off is....I DON'T KNOW! Pretty weird. All weekend was the salon, this next week is Jamba, and then back to the Salon. I actually am looking forward to it. It helps me plan out my week and I am able to not waste time. My highlight of this past week was getting a pedicure with my mom! That was so nice. Now my toes are cute and happy! And I get to go back next month with my mom and Oma.
Since I have started at the salon I have really formed a love for pets. I have never been a big pet person because they are a lot of work. I really want a little dog to carry with me everywhere. Once again, something I have NEVER wanted. I think my mom is warming up to this.
I need to continue to think positive. Something this week has happened that makes me want to cry. I keep stressing over it but I really need to take it as a lesson to learn from. I guess sometimes I am too harsh and need to watch what I say.
Now I get to bust out an essay for English. Oh and NOTE TO SELF: Start writing in personal journal.

Hello Saturday
Well today isn't TECHNICALLY Saturday, but it is mine. (:
This past week I have worked 24 hours at the pet salon, 15 hours at Jamba, helped my mom with random chores, did 9+ hours of homework, AND read 3 books. Yeah, you can be amazed. haha.
Enough with my pride, the books I read were amazing! Oh my! I am finally glad I found something I could get through. I guess once I hit college I thought I had to read "adult books" but I don't. I am not going to explain the books I read because I am terrible at that. So I will just name them: Looking For Alaska by John Green and the first two books of the wake trilogy: Wake & Fade by Lisa McMann. From there I went to the library website and put on a hold on a bunch of books. I have been inspired to read the Uglies series thanks to an amazing review by Miss. Briana Fagan. (: So I am stoked to start those.
Hmmm. In other news...nothing really. From my scripture study there is a scripture that has really stood out in my mind.
Matthew 14:24 And Again I say unto you it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
This made me think about how I see money and material things in my life. I always want more or think I need more. Sometimes it is overwhelming and I do not feel like I am worth much but I need to remember the Heavenly Father and Christ will be there for me and when I am obedient than I will be blessed. Good, huh?
Well these is short but I am off to clean my room, read, and do some more homework! I have to do a podcast for my english class called "This I believe..." I just need to figure out what I believe in!!

Because she is a mother.
Yes, I took that title from Elder Holland's talk but I love that talk and have been thinking about it a lot lately. I especially been thinking about the lines he quotes at the very beginning from Victor Hugo, “She broke the bread into two fragments and gave them to her children, who ate with eagerness.‘She hath kept none for herself,’ grumbled the sergeant.‘Because she is not hungry,’ said a soldier.‘No,’ said the sergeant, ‘because she is a mother.’
Being a parent is probably the biggest responsibility given to a person. When I see kids my age, younger, or even older, that are doing the "wrong thing" I often think, "Where is your mother?" "What would your mother think?" or even, "Do you know that your mother loves you?" Everyone wants to be loved by a mother, but not everyone has that blessing. Look at the Lost Boys from Peter Pan, for example. Peter brought Wendy to NeverLand to be their Mother. Girls carry around dolls, mothering them and boys want their mommy to make it better. Even society recognizes this, example: Mcdonalds commercial where parents are fighting to give their son the happy meal, the dad ends up giving it to the boy but he replies with a, "Thanks Mom!"
With this, I have been reflecting on my own Mother. Today, I wasn't the best daughter, I will 100% admit I was disrespectful. However, my mother should always know how much I admire her. My mom is crazy, but the good crazy. I know my mom would kill for me and my brothers. I know my mother will do whatever she can for me. Looking at my mother's life I feel like I haven't accomplished half the things she has. At 16, my mother was on her own. At 18, she was married and traveled to a FOREIGN country to meet in laws she had never met. How did she do it? How can one person work up that courage? And me....well I don't even like going to the store alone. Sometimes I feel like she is unfair or she doesn't "get it". But she does, she gets it more than I could imagine. At least I don't have a mother like Precious did. If you havent seen that movie...YOU SHOULD! Be aware of the 100+ "f words". That is an example of what a mother SHOULD NOT BE!
Being a mother is something that I know I want to do. I love school and I love my major but in the end I know that being a mother is my calling from Heavenly Father. In my Patriarchal Blessing it talks about being a mother. That is probably my favorite thing. I know it will be hard and I know I will cry and fight but because I have such an amazing mother I can do it.
To conclude, here are somethings I admire about my mother, I should probably tell her.
* She is beautiful. Truly, inside and out. She is rough around the edges but she is genuinely beautiful.
* She is understanding. I can tell her ANYTHING and she won't judge me. She is my favorite liberal. (:
* She is giving. When my mom sees a homeless person, she gives them money without thinking. When she sees someone in trouble she tries her hardest to help them out.
* She gets her way. This woman can get you to refund her money you didnt know she could.
* She loves thrifting and gets excited about finding "new, old" things.
*She puts her kids first.
*She shares, even when she doesn't want to.
*She will take every kid to their favorite restaurant, in the same day, to make everyone happy.
*She makes yummy dinner
*She laughs at herself; she is HILARIOUS!
*She is in touch with more spiritual things then she thinks.
*She tries to be organized but isn't at all
*She sends me texts everyday saying she loves me.
*She wants me to be happy and believes in me.
So in the end, thanks Mom. You are the best. No matter what you think, everything I have accomplished is all because of you. I am sorry when I am a pain. I am sorry when I don't say these things enough and you don't feel it. I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU!
