RIP Rainbow Fish :/

So. I am currently house sitting for a family I babysit. They are amazing and I love their kids, so when they went out I was happy to feed their dogs and fish, get the mail, newspapers, etc... This evening I stopped by to do the daily duties... to find cute Nina's betta fish had, well, bit the dust.

They call him (or maybe her, who knows) rainbow fish. I totally panicked. He was upside down lying at the very bottom of the tank. I wasn't exactly sure if he was just napping, so I shook the tank. No moment. There was no reviving this fish from fish heaven. So sad. What do I do?? This scene of course has happened many times in movies. What do I do? Of course I should take the dead fish to Petco and ask for a replica? Right?

Well. I figured lying to a five year old was a bit beneath myself so I came clean and called the homeowners to inform them of the loss of their fish. I am so relieved that I did. Apparently rainbow fish has been a sickly fish as of late. And he is two and half years old. He has a good life. So I don't feel quite as bad. But really. My luck is so bad. He had to die on my watch. Terrible.

RIP Rainbow Fish :/

Oh Dear

I have finally embraced my inner mormon, as my friends would put it, and created a blog. This way you guys can know about all the amazingness that is going on at BYU! Of which I begin in one month and seven days, and I couldn't be more excited!

It has been quite the weekend for me...

I got to go see Phantom of the Opera with some pretty sweet friends. I think overall we took about three hundred pictures. Allison had the wonderful idea of walking two miles in the heat of July in Texas. It was awesome. I some how broke the heel of the amazing black wedges I have been rocking for the past year. Which is tragic in some ways, but at least I know have a reason to hit DSW up! Here are some pictures from our adventure.

Me (Holly), Amber, Allison and Carlie at Amber's house before leaving.

Me and Allison!

We took so many pictures in the car. I suppose you could call it sillyness :]

The last look at my beautiful shoes :[

haha but all in all it was totally worth it. The Phantom of the Opera is still one of my favorite musicals. I love seeing it on stage! If you want to see all of our pictures... then look at my facebook! www.facebook.com/hlarson All gajillion pictures are up there. I would put more on here, but this whole blogger thing is driving be crazy. Anytime I put a picture in on here, it makes it go to the very top of the post, and then I have to copy and paste it down to where it I want it... Anyone wanna help me on that one?

So that was Friday night, Saturday morning I was awoken at seven something by my mother. Always a pleasure. My family and I went to Galveston. Which was super fun. I have to continue getting my tan darker because I know when I get to Utah, it will fade and no longer exist. I have to do all I can while I am still in Texas! But the beach was so fun, especially with my cute little niece, Grace!

Here she is with my brother, Neil.

I had to work at 3:30 and Grace was getting tired so we wrapped up our stay at the beach and went to grab a bite at the Subway by Stewart's Beach. I got the delicious Chicken Bacon Ranch on Flatbread. I was so tired from getting practically no sleep the night before so I slept the entire way home! When I got home I showered and got ready for work. My stomach started feeling a little weird, but I sucked it up because I didn't want to be late for work! I got to work and the weird sensation in my stomach began to worsen. The next thing I knew I got sick in the trash can by the copier! It was terrible! But I had a lot of work to do and it was too late to call someone else in. Also Saturday nights is the night we put our ad out for the next week, so it's the night we need a lot of help. Generally about seven employees work, but last night only four were working. I didn't want to abandon my coworkers and make them stay super late! So I took the trash to the dumpsters and kept working. After heaving a third time, all different trash cans mind you, I told my manager that I had finished all current jobs and asked if I could jet. They said of course and I came home. Which how I got to my current state. I have food poisoning! Which I am assuming came from Subway because that's the only place I ate!

Which is kind of funny because I told my friend Allison that I wouldn't eat out this whole week. I was seeing if I could do it! But my whole family was going! I had to! What else was I to do?! I guess this is what I deserve! haha.

Hopefully I'll be feeling better soon. As for now I am laying in bed. Trying to figure this blog thing out!
