So I think I have contracted the Bubonic Plague. Thanks a lot Lisa… 
Since being sick I’ve been rather short tempered and threatened murder on more than one occasion… The following things have kept me from committing such heinous acts.
-Modest Mouse. Have you learned to love them?
-Come to Find out. I have no idea who this guy is, but I love his blog.
-Stella
-Michael Showalter’s blog
-Frederick (Pronounce fred-er-ick) the Purple shark
-Day dreaming about next summer
I just finished running my first ever 5K and I’m sort of proud of myself. Granted it’s no marathon, I’m still quite pleased that I committed to something involving athletics and actually came through to accomplish it.
I just wanted to thank everyone who’s helped keep me motivated. Without further ado…
Thanks Becca for suggesting that we do it, I hope that we do it again!
Thanks Scott for keeping me motivated by asking me about my progress all the time. Also thanks for answering my endless questions.
Thanks Sarah, Lisa, Jake and Becca’s parents for showing up this morning you guys are all awesome!
Finally Thanks Mikey for training with me!
So I’m forcing myself to blog today, so this post might not be so… inspired if you will.
I dunno what’s up with me lately, my desire to express myself to the Internet just isn’t as strong nowadays. Maybe I’m growing up. Maybe I’m learning how to deal with life on my own. Maybe I’m working too many hours. Who knows.
Luckily this weekend is The Arts Festival. I always seem to feel inspired after that festival. I might be planning on going Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Yeah.. I’m cool like that.
I’m slightly concerned that after attending I may sell my body so I can afford a new camera. Anyone know where to sell used kidneys? What about ovaries? I’d be willing to part with one of each… and maybe half my liver. If only Michelle Landau would be my friend…
Rumor has it some people aren’t happy with the amount of blogging I’ve been doing lately. I feel like I’m always apologizing for not posting… I’M ONLY ONE PERSON SO CUT ME SOME SLACK OKAY?
So what’s new in the wild world of Mallory Qualls you might be wondering? A lot. I’ve picked up a part time job at a well-known retailer and as a result I’ve been working between 55-65 hours a week. Now that I’m used to the schedule I’m quite liking my new routine. I’d forgotten how fun it is to work retail. Plus working at a store that smells like lumber is AWESOME.
While for the most part I enjoy working retail, it isn’t always so peachy keen. The hours are a bit demanding, as are some customers. Next time you play the role of ‘consumer’ please remember the following things.
1) If you are shopping at a large store (Target, Home Depot, Etc Etc) remember that you are at a huge store and that the associates don’t know everything about every item. In fact, most of the associates only know about the area they work in. Please don’t be mean to the cashier if she doesn’t know anything about pluming.
2)When using the self check out option remember that the clerk at the podium is responsible for all four (or however many) stations. If both you and another customer are having problems with your machine it is first come first serve. Yes the self check out is an express lane, but still, be patient.
3) Being angry and mean to the cashier won’t make things any easier, as long as they are trying to help you be patient and pleasant.
4) While you may know more about the product you are purchasing, you do not know more about the store policies that the associates at any given store have to adhere to.
5) If you ask for a price check, you’re going to have to wait while the price is being checked. If you ask for a price check during the busiest hour of the day you’re going to have to wait longer. I know, I know, it’s hard being you some days.
Thank you for listening to me rant. Come and see me at work it’d be good times.
Maybe it’s the sunshine. Maybe it’s the time of year… All I know is I’m getting restless and want to go on an adventure.
Anyone wanna come?

I’m glad you guys are okay!
So, my sister-in-law is awesome. Yesterday we had the following conversation about a boy that I’ve been dating.
Zandi: Is he cute?
Mallory: Yes.
Zandi: Is he going to school?
Mallory: Yes.
Zandi: Does he have good taste in music?
Mallory: Of course.
Education is very important, as is physical attraction. However, it’s comforting to know that I’m not the only female on the planet that would dump someone because they have bad taste in music.
Yes I realize how hypocritical that sounds after my last post… but this is my blog and I’ll do what I want.
