I wanna hold 'em like they do...

Hey everyone! I hope everyone's days have been wonderful as mine has been pretty uneventful! Brandon's dad is still on the breathing tube but they hope to get it out tomorrow. If you are interested in further and more thorough updates please visit: caringbridge.org/visit/joenaidu.

Well, although nothing has really gone on today I have enjoyed it, I won't be getting another day off between my two jobs until I go out of town on June 9th, so while I was looking forward to that time, it is EXTRA being looked forward to now!

Sarah and I are trying to plan our party on the 19th and hopefully many familiar faces show up and we have a blast! I can't believe we've been out of high school for 5 years, and my brother graduates from high school in just 13 days!

Well, I'm off to bed, I have an early day tomorrow but hopefully the first half will go by quickly and then I can head to the gym, get a nap in there, and then off to the second job!

ooOooBrittanyooOoo

Second: SPOILER ALERT

Okay, first of all, AMAZING! A Lady GaGa version of Glee is greatly appreciated and needed! Idina Menzel and Lea Michele's rendition of "Poker Face" was nothing short of phenomenol. It downloaded onto my iPhone last week and I've been listening to it alllll week, but to see how intense they made the duet on the show it blew the song out of this world! Not to mention, "Bad Romance" was fantastic! This show never ceases to amaze me!

Puck never ceases to amaze me with not only his ability to be GORGEOUS but with his ability to show his heart! It's probably good I had to cancel Glee night because I cried....it was so precious & I can't wait to see how Puck, Quinn, and Beth's story lines play out this season! Also, WTF Kurt's dad? I get that Finn was WAY out of line but, c'mon....Kurt is basically trying to gay-up Finn and with a difficult move into your mom's bf's house with the boy from Glee Club who has a crush on you, who FORCES a far too chic room on you...you're allotted ONE flip out ses! I knew I loved this show but it was confirmed when Rachel tells how she got her name! UH HELLO RACHEL'S DADS! I LOVE FRIENDS, good choice boys, gooooooood choice!

Moving on away from Glee! Biggest loser was on tonight and Michael KILLED it. Homeboy lost a whopping 50.11% of his body weight (or something like that, i'm not positive on the .11) he looked amazing and did anyone else notice that him and Ashley are probably doing it? I mean, look at how they look at each other! They are clearly lovin' on one another!

Alrighty guys! I'll be back later tonight or tomorrow with an update about Brandon's dad!!

Just kicked Monday's ass!

Well, today started out as any other day; work 6:45-12:45....but then Blake called and his wife wasn't feeling well and needed her shift covered...so I picked up his close! I got to work 14 hours today 6:45-9:30! It was surprisingly easier than I thought it would be.. it was probably because I worked with my bff Ro today so it's automatically way better.

Anyways-I finished off the day with Alina, Hunter, & Sydney @ my place to watch the Bachelorette. I really like Frank and the big hair guy...he's probably a douche but hey, that's what makes good tv DUH! Anyways-as great as that was, tomorrow is going to be SUPER amazing! Glee-GaGa edition! The Schmidt's, Ross's, and Sydney will be coming over to enjoy and then Katie will be over later to watch some Pratt-Montag craziness on the Hills!

I can't wait to just lounge around and relax tomorrow!

OH ITS A BABY!!

For those of you who don't know, Brandon is an uncle now! Baby Jason was born on May 12th just before 7am! He had a rough ride into life with a fractured skull and had to be kept in the NICU at Primary Children's here in Utah for about a week, but once his jaundis went down and all of his tests were showing normalcy and nothing to worry about he was released and went home! Brandon and I went up to Park City to see him today and he slept almost the WHOLE TIME. Minus a few squeaks (yes squeaks, no screams) and curly toes and stretched out limbs, he slept.....He is just so precious and Brandon finally held him today, finally, without any wires or IV's Brandon was no longer afraid to hold him. *disclaimer* Brandon will claim he was never "afraid" to hold him but...he totally was....Welp, that's all for today, nothing too exciting since I really just worked, saw the baby, and did laundry! Although, next Saturday I get to help Brandon's mom baby-sit Jason and although I hope it will be fun, I'm sure it will just act as extra birth control :)

How do you get kicked out of Applebee's?

Well, today was really good. It began with an early morning trip to Old Navy with Sydney to get some 1$ flip flops and some 6$ tank tops! We decided against coffee and opted for extra sleep instead! Then I got to work with two of my faves tonight; Katie and Sydney! We had a great time and it really helped me forget about all the bullshit! Also, Alina came home today which is pretty much amazing, I now have a San Diego magnet and I HAVE to remember to get souvenir's when I'm in Seattle next, I owe Sydney for my Montana key-chain and now Alina for the magnet...plus, I should really have a Seattle key-chain myself...how am I not representing? Also at work today, my good friend Mandi came in to say "hi" and we ended up eating lunch together! Well, I ate and she sat/talked/listened! We had such a great chat and I definitely have to make sure to set up our monthly dinner before I head back to Washington!

Well, not much else to say about today other than my brother just had his senior pictures taken and I still can't believe he's graduating in 18 days....it's insane. Now, I'm gonna go back to watching Ricky Bobby and laughing my ass off!

<3 Brittany

Wow. Just, WOW!

Dear Shonda Rimes,
THANK YOU for the season finale` of Grey's Anatomy last night, it EFFING ROCKED. I am currently re-watching it as we speak and I can't believe how great it is still. Like, I'm pretty sure I'll be leaving it on my DVR to get me through the summer. Thank you for not being predictable at ALL, even in the beginning before he shot anyone I was running through all the sad/depressed people of patients, especially when the guy got in the accident and then was shot....I thought for sure, maybe, just maybe it was the guy coming back for him...but it wasn't EVERYTHING was unpredictable, you didn't shoot every main character and even though I really had no attachment to Charles at all...I still BAWLED MY EYES OUT. I was jumping out of my skin, my skin crawled, I think I maybe even pee'd a little....amazing, it's everything I expected and more.

Love, Brittany

Now, on to more important things! Although Grey's has pretty much been my highlight for like an entire DAY, there were more important things.. I worked at Fiddlers tonight and it was INSANE. I can't wait until tomorrow, 1$ flip flop day at Old Navy, me and my little Sydney are getting up bright and early and making out way to flippy-floppy heaven! Aw, the simple joys of life!

Although today was better I still can't wait until I get to go back to Seattle and be with close friends and familiar places!! My little sister (9) received an academic achievement award at school today and I couldn't be more proud! I tried to call and congratulate her but she had a little friend over and was a little ADD!!

Anyways-I hope everyone is doing well and I'll be back tomorrroooww!!

Well, today was better.

Well. Today was a little bit better. I talked to one person I needed to and, it went really well. However, I haven't spoken to the other person I need to and I don't think it will go as well. I'm just going to need to suck it up tomorrow and just deal with it. So what if I have a semi-hostile work environment...who cares?! I'm very nervous to go to work tomorrow....extremely nervous. I have no idea what I'm gonna do? I know I just said "suck it up" but wow, that will be hard. I honestly think I won't be getting much sleep tonight, and I'm slightly afraid to fall asleep, like, if I don't go to sleep I won't have to go to work tomorrow...even though I'll definitely have to lol. Hmmm....I really don't know how this is going to play out. I know I didn't do anything wrong and I LOVE that somehow someone else, this "birdy" is getting NONE of the back-lash and I'm getting it ALL. This is complete and total bull shit..and when I find out who it was that called this in the first place..I'm telling everyone...EVERYONE...so that the back-lash can then be brought on to them. Even if I like this person as of now...it's crap to do this to me. If you cared about me..you would have stepped up and not thrown me under the bus...so, all in all, screw you! I hope that my sadness and the back lash that has been bestowed upon me haunts you and guilts you every day of your life.

Anyways-
I get to go back to Seattle in 20 days which, as of now, is going to be the best thing EVER. I don't think I've ever truly liked Utah, but it's for sure now! I mean, the fact that I don't trust anyone, ANYONE i work with, sucks. Everyone is 1/2 truth, 1/2 bull shit. I'm sure I fall into this category, but I don't know if I feel like being a bitch and pretty fucking negative and hardcore as being bull shit....I'm done acting like I like people when I don't, and I am DONE being walked all over. I can't wait to just leave all of this shit behind me and have a good time. Hopefully when I get back I can transfer and leave everyone behind.

I can't wait until Brandon takes the LSAT's and we move on with our lives...one big fuck you and waste of time Utah has been.

Backlash,

Have you ever felt like even though you are the person in the right, everything is being backlashed into YOUR face instead, like, everything that could go wrong for you doing the right thing, does?

That's how I feel. I was asked to have a meeting with someone today about information that they ALREADY HAD, and even though I just sat and answered questions, I'm the one paying the price. This is crap. Basically because I voice my opinion and yes, i'm negative but it's because you have made me this way....I wouldn't be negative if I didn't feel constantly walked all over....or uncomfortable...or manipulated...sorry but I don't play that game, I may have played it for a while but I'm not going to LIE to someone who is asking me questions. And, did you ever think that I'm not the ONLY one thinking this way, but you are the only one NOT thinking this way...did you EVER think of that?! Because you have lost all respect from the people who just smile and nod at you...that's all they're doing....smiling...and nodding. That's it.

Everyone is no longer respecting you...they are becoming tolerant and NUMB. I am over it. I can't wait to finally move on with my life and be able to look back and laugh at you.
