...its been a crazy few days...  

I have been super busy the past few days and havent had much time to use the new camera, but I did have a chance today to take some fun interesting shots. I have been at my monthly conference for SkillsUSA the past two days. It has been crazy, fun, frustrating, exciting, and stressful. But most of all it has been a learning experience and I love that I have learned so much. I tend to talk way to much (shocker I know) so this weekend I have made it my personal goal to step back and let others lead and learn from them. It has been difficult for me but I love it and am excited to keep it up.

I encountered a few situations that made me laugh today that I though I would share will you all.

j5 to Store Clerk: "Can you tell me where I can find your cold drinks? Like the ones in the cooler?"
Store Clerk: pointing to the cooler 5 feet to my left directly in front of me "They are over there. In that cooler. Marked "Cold Drinks"...."
j5: feeling like an idiot "... oh...OK, Thanks!!!..."

Here is the picture of the cooler that I so blatantly missed.





I love chocolate covered pretzels but they have a million calories in them. So I decided to get the 100 calorie pack chocolate covered pretzels in an effort to drop a few lbs. Here is the problem, eating the 100 calorie packs doesn't save you any calories when you eat the whole box!!!!





And last but not least I took a picture of myself today, as some of you know I hate pictures of myself (thats the whole reason I bought a camera, if you are holding a camera, people often dont ask you to be in the picture, rather they ask you to take one of them and their vain friends). So here is one of my first attempts at a self portrait.
