At 9:30 this morning, that creepy guy called again asking me if I wanted to talk dirty. I said, "Who is this?" He said that his name was Jake, and I commented on how his name had changed since yesterday. I asked him why he wanted to talk dirty and he said that I had a sexy voice. I asked if I knew him, and he said no. He said, "Don't you think it's hot to talk dirty to strangers?" I said, "No. I think it's creepy." He then was silent and I said, "Please don't call here anymore." And hung up.
What is really scary to me is that he didn't call after I got off yesterday, but then called me this morning when I was only there for two hours! I want to know how the hell he knew I would be working! I was so scared. I tried to call Justin and he didn't answer. I then looked up the police departments number, and they didn't answer! Then I called mom and told her what happened, and I just lost it. I started crying. This is really scaring me. And I work by myself most of the time.
Justin eventually called me back to and asked me if I had told the guy I was going to call the police. I said no and he wanted to know why not. I honestly spaced it. I was trying to remain calm when he was on the phone. Creepy guys that prank call people get a kick out of scaring people and I didn't want him to know that I was scared.

Creep!
Today was another day for creepy calls at Baskin. About ten minutes before I got off work, some guy called me. Sometimes my friends do call me on the store phone, so when the guy said, "Hey Chelsee, are you busy?" I wasn't really thinking anything of it. "I said, "Yeah a little." He said, "You are really? Does that mean I can't talk dirty to you?" I was having trouble hearing the phone, so I hoped that this guy hadn't said what I thought I had just heard, and I was still trying to figure out if this was someone I actually knew, so I walked into the backroom. He then said, "Did you go somewhere that no one can hear you so I can talk dirty to you?" I could hear everything he said when I walked into the back, and I realized that I had no idea who I was talking to, so I said, "Who is this?" He said that his name was Jessie and he wanted to talk dirty. I said no, and he wanted to know why not. At this point I hung up, EXTREMELY disturbed.
About 5 minutes later, he called me back. He wanted to know why I wouldn't let him talk dirty to me. I hung up without saying anything back to him. Then I called Justin. When the old owner had the store, she blocked everything that cost extra on the phone bill. No *69. I called Justin, told him what happened and asked if we could unblock it so that I could tell who was calling. He said that if it happened again we could call the phone company and turn the guy into the police. Luckily, the guy never called back.
I was thankful that the girl coming in after me actually showed up about ten minutes early, so she was there for the entire thing. It made me feel safer that she was there. It creeped us both out, but there is saftey in numbers.

West Valley
Today I got to go and open the West Valley store. I was fine with the idea of going down there. I had been interested in seeing how the stores looked after they were remodeled. But, I ran into a few problems while I was there:
1-If I could describe the store in one word, it would be "dirty". At first I was completely impressed by the remodeling since I had seen the store before, it was really nice to see it after. But, as I got to working in it a little more, I noticed that the night crew didn't sweep or mop under any of the tables, the glass was all smudged, there was dried ice cream all of the cabinets and dipping wells, and their back sink looks like it hasn't been cleaned in years!
2-This one had to have a category of its own, the Freezer. First off, when you first walk into it, the floor sinks a little. Does that make anyone feel safe? Then, it is really really messy. There is opened boxes all over the floor. Third, the freezer door comes off the ground higher than the one at my store. Normally when I just need to look into the freezer, I catch the door with my foot. With this one, the back of my heel went right underneath it, scratching up the entire back of my foot. While searching for a band-aid, the cut bled through my sock! I finally had to resort to going out to my car and getting out the Traveling First-Aid kit that mom put in my stocking last year, that stays in my glove compartment.
3- Since it is a remodeled store, they also make new sundaes, etc... When I first saw them, I was a little nervous. Justin told me that I wouldn't have any problem since people hardly ever ordered them anyways, but if they did, there was a book explaining how to make all of them. I SWEAR, I had to make every single one of those stupid new sundaes! I as not very happy about it.
4-EVERYONE in West Valley either wants a Banana Split, or a Banana Royale, or one of the new sundaes that comes with a banana. I can't not even tell you how many I had to make of those today. Luckily, I had plenty of bananas, so I didn't run out, but I ran out of strawberry topping. They hadn't thought of thawing any the night before!
5-Since West Valley's freezer is such a mess, they have old flavors that have long since left the other stores, such as America's Birthday cake (avaliable in July), Black Walnut (March-ish), Happy Camper (summer months) and they haven't been able to get ride of Triple Play either. GROSS! And, every day they go to the store and buy more Whip Cream cans, when they have two boxes full of them in the freezer!
6-I was scheduled to work from 9-5. It was a little hard getting started since I didn't know where things were or what I was doing with half of the things. I felt like a chicken running around with my head cut off. I was supposed to have help at 3:00, but for the second day in a row, my help has decided not to show up. Luckily, he only thought that his shift started an hour later, so he eventually made it, but I was completely pissed off at him when he finally did show up and we had never even met yet!
On the upside to this day, the customers in West Valley were very nice to me. They were very patient with me looking for things, or having to stop and look up how to make what they ordered. I didn't have one customer yell at me at all today. They never even seemed to be irritated at all. Many of them tipped me. I made almost $10 in tips. My day would have been A LOT worse if every customer had started yelling at me. All in all, I made it through it okay, and as far as I know, I won't need to go back any time soon!! :)

New Phone!
I went to T-mobile and got another phone today. I lost all of my contact information, pictures and songs that I had on my phone, but that can all pretty much be replaced. Just don't be offended if I don't know who is calling me right off.

Sick
I haven't really been feeling very well this week anyway. About four or five days ago, I pinched a nerve in my lower back. A few days after that, I kinked my neck. I have gotten a sore throat and running nose this week as well, and off and on, I have been sick to my stomache. Today, when I was supposed to be enjoying turkey and great family company, I felt crappy and couldn't eat. Allison fixed my back for me. She had to put a lot of my ribs back into place, and about 8 of the vertebra in my neck, but eventually I also ended up throwing up everything that I had tried to eat.
I was laying on the couch when I threw up. Mainly all over myself and my blanket. I threw up two times and tried to call for help, but no one heard me. After the third time, I yelled, "Somebody help me!" Kjersti came running into the room and then yelled into the other room that we needed a throw up bowl, after she got to watch me throw up the fourth time.
Allison had me get up and go to the bathroom. She said that she would wash all of my clothes and my blankets as I cleaned myself up. As I was taking my shower, I realized that my cell phone had still been in the pocket of my jacket. Kjersti ran downstairs to turn off the water, but it is too late. My phone is ruined. Then I threw up another five times in the bathroom.
I have had to lay down in my room and try not to throw up all day instead of hanging out with my family. It really has not been a pleasant experience. The only good news is, that I think the worst is now over. I have been able to get a cup of applesauce and, so far, it is staying down. Good thing too, because I have to be back to work tomorrow. (and figure out a way to get a new cell phone.)
Thank you everyone for helping me feel better today. I really appreciate it. I also wanted everyone to know that I don't blame anyone for what happened to my phone. It was just a bad day. I am sorry that I missed out hanging out with everyone. I am especially sad that I didn't get to really hang out with Allie while she was here. But, thanks for playing the family duet one more time so that I could join in. :)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE! I hope that everyone has a great day! I know we are not having our Thanksgiving dinner until tomorrow, but I still get the day off today! I have always loved Thanksgiving, because it is a time when all of our family gets together. This year, we will have the two new additions to the family too! It is going to be a lot of fun!
Yesterday was crazy at work. I had a bunch of Thanksgiving orders to do, along with trying to fill the case back up. We were extremely busy, and I actually had to call for help. But, one of the cakes that I had to make for Thanksgiving looked like this:
Personally, I am not a big fan of this cake. I think that it is kind of funny, but I would never personally order it. If I wanted a turkey cake, I would order one of the colorful, cute turkeys, not the already cooked, ugly turkeys. But that might just be me.

More practice...
So Kameryn and I have been working on her crawling. She is getting pretty good at staying up on her hands and knees. She even rocks back and forth. She is trying really hard, but I have to remember that she is only six months old, cause she gets tired if we do it for too long.

Come What May
With everything else going on with our family, I failed to mention a few things so that I wouldn't cause more drama. I feel like people will be mad at me, and I couldn't handle that too. For better or worse, I have started talking to Sarah, Eddy and Wendy again. I worked things out with each of them. It wasn't all in one conversation, and it took a lot of working out with each of them, but I finally feel like things are cleared up. I know that Allie has already said that it wasn't something that she would do, but the decision is mine to make. I know that you all just feel protective of me and don't want me to get hurt again, and I do appreciate that. And it's not like I go and hang out with these people all of the time now, but I just wanted everyone to know that I am talking to them again, so if they come over or something, don't beat them up, okay?

Look what I am teaching Kameryn!
She can't crawl yet, but she is getting dangerously close. Kjersti is getting worried. :)

Cakes!
I know that I always blog about the bad days at work, and how I hate the dumb people that Baskin seems to attract, so I thought I would add a blog about some of the things that I like about it. I love the days when people notice what a great job that I do. I appreciate it when customers come in, and they actually have been to a few of the other stores too, and they comment on how clean our store is, how consistant the products are and how good our customer service is. I love the days when everyone tips me, so I bring home nearly twenty bucks. I keep a jar in my room full of my tip money and it really adds up.
Justin, my boss, recently just won an award for my store. We are the store with the second most sales increase in Utah. Justin's dad even plotted out my progress in cakes sales over the last year. Whenever he sees me, he always tells me what a great job I am doing, and that if I ever need anything to let them know. "We'll take care of you." is what he likes to say. I love feeling appreciated.
Most of all, I LOVE decorating the cakes. As Xena would say, "It gets my creative juices flowing." I had an order for a cake today. They wanted a fullsheet mint chocolate chip on chocolate, frosted chocolate with green and purple flowers. This is what that cake ended up looking like:
Then just for fun, I made this cake:
Most days, I really do love my job.

Safe and Sound
After our scare yesterday when Isaac's hands and feet got all swollen up like a balloon, and Danae and Gary had to have several doctors look at him, they said that he is fine. I am glad that you are alright baby Isaac. Our family wouldn't be the same without you now that you are here.
Love,
Your Aunt Chelsee
Audio letter from Kennedy
Yesterday I got the tape I sent to Kennedy back. He filled up the entire first side. It was really nice to hear his voice, and I laughed so hard, especially since his companion proposed to me for sending them licorice and making them "Fat Dog" Brownies! Kennedy also responded to almost everyone that I got to talk on it. It was really nice! Now I want another one!! :)

Found
Most of you know that our new little kitty, Spitz, went missing about a week after we got her. Well, Little Momma found her on the side of the road this morning. She is really sad about it.
Momma, please don't feel bad. I know that you wanted to take good care of her, but you had no control over her running away. You weren't the one that let her out, and she had gone outside for a couple of days before she went missing. So, it wasn't that she just couldn't find her way back home.
I love you Mom!! I know you did your best and you are so sweet! You have such a compassionate heart to hear about a kitty in need and add them to the kitties at our house. You can't save them all, but that has never stopped you from trying.
