It is glaringly obvious in some, but in others you have too look a little bit to notice. I have recently been shopping at a local market that sells local produce and I was a little disturbed by what I found. The first thing I bought were Brussel Sprouts. I love to roast them in a hot, hot oven with garlic and olive oil until they are nice and caramelized. Sooo good!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhazcxLs2ohrrYLPQEl9-PorFinG1TNWzVqVzhmS6eZ-YP2_VFdoOQixfpb4QxUniMrRmjqVMxIyjIvgu_ss6yB3Ytwc-EPEuFWoZ8Yto7AaoCXeP05nsuNZRYfAzhuLtv9oEvNDboqE60/s1600/IMG_1873.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhazcxLs2ohrrYLPQEl9-PorFinG1TNWzVqVzhmS6eZ-YP2_VFdoOQixfpb4QxUniMrRmjqVMxIyjIvgu_ss6yB3Ytwc-EPEuFWoZ8Yto7AaoCXeP05nsuNZRYfAzhuLtv9oEvNDboqE60/s320/IMG_1873.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532198709623430514" border="0" /></a>Nothing odd here, just your basic sprout. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3ZRd3I0Ftn076v-JEAT-z8-8MustD9UHUk3T1WlNLV1RnYaI5rqu_bQTx0ZZyo1dhhoL6sdR0jgQLIviT6QmnhurfYEiZroMMl1EmEgiZgt5ppKB_j96kmq6bNMARWWM0o3r5UPvMzoY/s1600/IMG_1876.JPG"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg8QykDo4N1JSspfsRpfYfpAo4n9qxVij1wncLndx38n3XKR1R75yW_9lmZ1tvkdl49VZ7aU5_hX6jab4edPf38_3ivCWh34igKlwveZY700XU_PPgN7aZlg1Oi1Ws0hKedEhDLuwU8kM/s1600/IMG_1874.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg8QykDo4N1JSspfsRpfYfpAo4n9qxVij1wncLndx38n3XKR1R75yW_9lmZ1tvkdl49VZ7aU5_hX6jab4edPf38_3ivCWh34igKlwveZY700XU_PPgN7aZlg1Oi1Ws0hKedEhDLuwU8kM/s320/IMG_1874.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532198718378657586" border="0" /></a>What the?

The first being the farmers are struggling so much, they are being forced to to pick their crops early in order to make money. The second being that since I am buying local and in Vegas, there is simply not enough water for the crops to grow any bigger. We are in a desert after all. To add to that theory, maybe these crops are not being poisoned with chemicals or injected with growth hormones and this is how a normal crop should look! What do you think?<br /><br />On that note, I am on a mission to try something new every time I go to the grocery store.

It's summer in Vegas and I would rather be out at the pool than blogging, so sue me!

It's partially because I really need a new computer and it takes me hours to do a post because this one is so slow!! I am going to try and be better.<br />I recently watched a movie called Food Inc. I think <span style="font-weight: bold;">EVERYONE</span> should watch this movie! I have been eating healthy (for the most part, lol) for quite some time now, but have recently kicked it up a notch to organic foods. This does require some effort and I by no means am eating everything organic, but have been buying my fruits, vegetables, and dairy this way and a limited amount of meat. During my last trip to "whole paycheck" i.e. "Whole Foods" I was having difficulty finding organic pickles. Pickles are the one thing that I cannot live without. If I had to pick one food to eat forever, it would be pickles. So, I decided to make my own today (all organic ingredients!), and I am so excited!!!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh42teOtp3ixOUZA9Mecjk_ftdlneAJRlQPZPBTQ3yGyD0aIbsPle1yyAf4I1Tx4xxuLLFIXLCxBqkWmfSTuz-3pPQQQPNT0N5yDlFyhHFEqErRNT7_P0qSx5aU38XkwirwnZ4qidxsdE8/s1600/Picture+017.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh42teOtp3ixOUZA9Mecjk_ftdlneAJRlQPZPBTQ3yGyD0aIbsPle1yyAf4I1Tx4xxuLLFIXLCxBqkWmfSTuz-3pPQQQPNT0N5yDlFyhHFEqErRNT7_P0qSx5aU38XkwirwnZ4qidxsdE8/s320/Picture+017.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474282377185709426" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm7l5sqUZwNGGUkCgMhYEJEJ2ZrgZyTBhVwVYo0lgmvKRVOleSUc7UBDwU-xQq20jg4FeVxXbDLc_Ez9tAvbmb3Bv8XLGKMxdWI3z8oDRPZuRebDPwWrRgcdoC9s3dGTVEIPe8w2q0Iqo/s1600/Picture+018.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm7l5sqUZwNGGUkCgMhYEJEJ2ZrgZyTBhVwVYo0lgmvKRVOleSUc7UBDwU-xQq20jg4FeVxXbDLc_Ez9tAvbmb3Bv8XLGKMxdWI3z8oDRPZuRebDPwWrRgcdoC9s3dGTVEIPe8w2q0Iqo/s320/Picture+018.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474282386802677394" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_F7Dqo7ggyDTeFNqGF0qUzssovG-Uewq0U2fRN0k9n3OlI0uqnm0pYQdNy1CXMpnBlLjxDKczveS0BCLk96X2u3z6jwdbXHHIR1zdLz_Pf7rEWvzeJZiwE0rnBk5N_hoatO42yudWcuc/s1600/Picture+020.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_F7Dqo7ggyDTeFNqGF0qUzssovG-Uewq0U2fRN0k9n3OlI0uqnm0pYQdNy1CXMpnBlLjxDKczveS0BCLk96X2u3z6jwdbXHHIR1zdLz_Pf7rEWvzeJZiwE0rnBk5N_hoatO42yudWcuc/s320/Picture+020.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474282393993498002" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2JEu0UG6dZnNDcnfwW0lq2xRkKbq5uhAi0rVdt8lplTKvtLzqoeVz8FpVD9qAK8PhOD79GaEj7k0LkIhY633tkzHRftIXd4M5BjMBvYWZka8zmooeuSekzkFGKlubAZJ_K5p-j2-J8cg/s1600/Picture+023.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2JEu0UG6dZnNDcnfwW0lq2xRkKbq5uhAi0rVdt8lplTKvtLzqoeVz8FpVD9qAK8PhOD79GaEj7k0LkIhY633tkzHRftIXd4M5BjMBvYWZka8zmooeuSekzkFGKlubAZJ_K5p-j2-J8cg/s320/Picture+023.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474282401186917074" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim0MK0HreoykV3SKDJUTcoD5lqLqyfhSM0wW-OQkonNLAzLtiSXj1n5Ul2o7_UpOKX4oNiJW3zpwxa087n6WazHk1gye7-gvpZergu8Oyg5Sa34D-joAyIlbULhjbfMD1WYMN2o8oNzBo/s1600/Picture+024.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim0MK0HreoykV3SKDJUTcoD5lqLqyfhSM0wW-OQkonNLAzLtiSXj1n5Ul2o7_UpOKX4oNiJW3zpwxa087n6WazHk1gye7-gvpZergu8Oyg5Sa34D-joAyIlbULhjbfMD1WYMN2o8oNzBo/s320/Picture+024.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474282410120662386" border="0" /></a>I will let you know how they turn out as soon as I am able to crack them open!

It has been weighing on my mind that I need to blog but I just don't have anything to say. Then Stephanie texted me out of the blue with a great blogging idea and so I thought I would just start small and see what happens.<br /><br />Some who know me, know that I believe that everyone has an attraction to someone that others would not touch with a ten foot pole. I am talking about someone that people would look at and go "ew, really!?" Don't dismiss it right away, think about it for a minute. Isn't there someone that makes your heart race a little when you see them, but you would never admit it to anyone else? I have never been afraid to admit mine and up until recently this guy has been my secret weird crush.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVfvdRQYVL6kh9KjUzEQZDavRwZImo-_fXL2UvWEiGdA1fY1DQ6Mrhz3X-fOc3g1RVWKGHl5voFyLGegGIpq0yNmRsyWTjWjqVlAyjOZiqDKbdZPMNhFTjW4YrA-z_Aqh_HX9r272Qh7A/s1600/6.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 271px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVfvdRQYVL6kh9KjUzEQZDavRwZImo-_fXL2UvWEiGdA1fY1DQ6Mrhz3X-fOc3g1RVWKGHl5voFyLGegGIpq0yNmRsyWTjWjqVlAyjOZiqDKbdZPMNhFTjW4YrA-z_Aqh_HX9r272Qh7A/s320/6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454285313462940498" border="0" /></a>I know, I know but it is what it is.

Don't be afraid, after all who am I to judge? Oh, and if you don't know who these guys are you are either way to young or way to old to be reading my blog.<br /><br />Now on to some normal, everyday life stuff. I decided a couple weeks ago that I was sick of spending money on fresh herbs and wanted to grow my own. So I bought a cute little pot and some Cilantro, Basil, and Parsley seeds.

I realize I only really sleep in there but I also tend to do laundry, get ready for the day, and read in there and I am getting really sick of my cream walls. So I decided to blow up some of the photographs I have taken. I decided to just do a couple to make sure that when I blew them up, they did not distort or become grainy. I took these in Hawaii in my friends yard, and I think they turned out pretty good!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwnwd_4EBUjK_fvPMDTMl-mOJkx5k6ycy0cCUEMoTDuY8fy6fxA_k4VrA0GX9ewVQn-CFaMhsphSh4rkxLeXF6dt9rfSIixHz73dS8PNUkq5rVliieqKUM-fCQxUU4gCsqdN-ozhVCVsU/s1600/Picture+389.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwnwd_4EBUjK_fvPMDTMl-mOJkx5k6ycy0cCUEMoTDuY8fy6fxA_k4VrA0GX9ewVQn-CFaMhsphSh4rkxLeXF6dt9rfSIixHz73dS8PNUkq5rVliieqKUM-fCQxUU4gCsqdN-ozhVCVsU/s320/Picture+389.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454286522995388450" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlc6-ChNwr91uGZddp-a_tF_By8XLyD8UBoOWQOhc6HnyNh6B1N7OjDnQOEZoAoy5pkQr9-_zzPt1xw8jZ3FRxGkFsFDgMvwSLaXHNmcSi5NYdQ8f0DeKph7aTshEdqt9pDYoRFRnhyphenhyphencg/s1600/Picture+387.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlc6-ChNwr91uGZddp-a_tF_By8XLyD8UBoOWQOhc6HnyNh6B1N7OjDnQOEZoAoy5pkQr9-_zzPt1xw8jZ3FRxGkFsFDgMvwSLaXHNmcSi5NYdQ8f0DeKph7aTshEdqt9pDYoRFRnhyphenhyphencg/s320/Picture+387.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454286501459437106" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixJTx_LEW-OYoYczfyej-NL2HX1H4wZocqRvVnwbUdNRqpnwfcOfZGZ7qy-2epvTj1czqNLfT2jAcY1NB476wMretkLPT4_RL575Xxm9as-Io70bASb92KNFYLmVxmqI7BcbIohqweyBQ/s1600/Picture+388.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixJTx_LEW-OYoYczfyej-NL2HX1H4wZocqRvVnwbUdNRqpnwfcOfZGZ7qy-2epvTj1czqNLfT2jAcY1NB476wMretkLPT4_RL575Xxm9as-Io70bASb92KNFYLmVxmqI7BcbIohqweyBQ/s320/Picture+388.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454286510585348226" border="0" /></a>The weather here is starting to get better and we were in the high seventies today, so things are looking up.

I am more than ready to get out of Las Vegas. I hate my job, I hate the rude people here, and I hate the lack of plants and the color green. It is time to move on. I have been thinking about it a lot lately, but was not sure about what I wanted to do or where I wanted to go. I really miss my family and would like to be closer to them, but Utah is just not the place for me either. So what is a girl to do? Well first she decides to finally take her friend up on an offer for a weekend road trip to San Diego.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0_Aps4kbWUbhyphenhyphenPXca95DMKJs2RUUXA3Nj5_hfXQBQCVsJYAFXAE_QTuF-UUVSmh7nUXGRUuDUnWM80NgoE_chbqYgrEXhJi0Fhn4LDrAMi9hGqaMWbxHxiWN081-pzYRtKsAtYJZWFlY/s1600-h/Picture+350.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0_Aps4kbWUbhyphenhyphenPXca95DMKJs2RUUXA3Nj5_hfXQBQCVsJYAFXAE_QTuF-UUVSmh7nUXGRUuDUnWM80NgoE_chbqYgrEXhJi0Fhn4LDrAMi9hGqaMWbxHxiWN081-pzYRtKsAtYJZWFlY/s320/Picture+350.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436097583119479778" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Pqb-2L9Q3P9x77Uqi5CZNxhfpVBrC86rRC62MxOpqn9DHstjOds_uUiYMc-BE9827IuZ-dS5niGe1F2z-DinmMn2k-YCTLl8tCkTWJ3qB7lIbbtQP4YyRr-8bka-SUZP63-7NMAuVbA/s1600-h/Picture+351.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Pqb-2L9Q3P9x77Uqi5CZNxhfpVBrC86rRC62MxOpqn9DHstjOds_uUiYMc-BE9827IuZ-dS5niGe1F2z-DinmMn2k-YCTLl8tCkTWJ3qB7lIbbtQP4YyRr-8bka-SUZP63-7NMAuVbA/s320/Picture+351.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436097594698522450" border="0" /></a>They check out some fun places like Seaport village.

In case you didn't know my dad loves treasure hunting and his metal detector is his most prized possession. He finds all kinds of great stuff and he has them all organized into different categories. Well Stephanie and I were in his room over Christmas and were looking around at his stuff when we came upon this.....<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWXCZjW7zeOZkH266sFPmncOGT-9Bgx-KjoLyuhLFkNCB_DJyFaGHbRWQxAnjNGjx0oR5Ectzwl4gdnBvLUesTZdOh8YzXpBu39hYHWRP6-eNhsFeAQz3K0Txu9lNKpeuKVjXw1EnhMJQ/s1600-h/Picture+337.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWXCZjW7zeOZkH266sFPmncOGT-9Bgx-KjoLyuhLFkNCB_DJyFaGHbRWQxAnjNGjx0oR5Ectzwl4gdnBvLUesTZdOh8YzXpBu39hYHWRP6-eNhsFeAQz3K0Txu9lNKpeuKVjXw1EnhMJQ/s320/Picture+337.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424970840467034770" border="0" /></a>What the? Dad just went from cute, lovable grandpa to creepy old man! I understand that you find them, but is it really necessary to keep them? What exactly are they going to be used for? Voodoo seances? Gifts for the grand kids? Doll cemetery in the back yard? To start your own china doll army? Whatever it is, leave me out of it creepy dad!<br /><br />Also in regards to the last post, I concede that Stephanie did not call me a whore but did say that I looked like a cage dancer, which I took as calling me a whore. She also called me a diva, but that is beside the point. Anyway, as promised here are the boots in question.....<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguLrF7GfzRAnV8dAyNvO1bxQgAMm-Z8_xY2s0zfI-CjXiAAV-5XdibnTunEFQPHIKzzu1aophVKGp-xlMNV5bbStm_GOW3JdsudvwgXMViFNlMPjrKEye7KKgBZKfVt8KiG-f6lPNhvXU/s1600-h/Picture+345.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguLrF7GfzRAnV8dAyNvO1bxQgAMm-Z8_xY2s0zfI-CjXiAAV-5XdibnTunEFQPHIKzzu1aophVKGp-xlMNV5bbStm_GOW3JdsudvwgXMViFNlMPjrKEye7KKgBZKfVt8KiG-f6lPNhvXU/s320/Picture+345.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424972381067803010" border="0" /></a>Does that look like the face of someone that belongs in a cage dancing?

They are cheap, plain and simple, and if that's all you can afford then so be it. I will put on my blindfold and step off my soap box. <br /><br /><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Brian/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg" alt="" /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihq_0ybl5OemTGehivtu3DLx8UDMKujj7jHnReal5u5j-9vruvor3syDSAXDFPEoR87a0WuIqEakBTefp5-_WS6zHH36LYM1P4uj3B23KJWXJjQLkSgyeQpbOP3wbJzKXXHumiQtZksc4/s1600-h/4.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 258px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihq_0ybl5OemTGehivtu3DLx8UDMKujj7jHnReal5u5j-9vruvor3syDSAXDFPEoR87a0WuIqEakBTefp5-_WS6zHH36LYM1P4uj3B23KJWXJjQLkSgyeQpbOP3wbJzKXXHumiQtZksc4/s320/4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424977311149942066" border="0" /></a>That being said here is a little story. As you know from a previous blog, I use those cute bags when I do my shopping to try and do my part by not using the plastic bags. EVERY single time I go to the big W, without fail they will try and put something in one of those plastic bags. I will have 5 reusable bags and they will want to put my soap in a plastic bag, or my economy size jar of pickles in a plastic bag. It drives me crazy! Not only do they try EVERY single time, but they also have to argue with me EVERY single time when I request that they not use a plastic bag. "You don't want your soap touching your food", or "the pickles are heavy". Well no duh, but no need to worry as I am pretty sure the CANVAS bag won't break! I am not exaggerating here, it is EVERY time I go. Why do they think I bring my own bags? If I wanted plastic I would leave my bags at home! I think it is a conspiracy between the big W and the plastic bag makers.....<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVt606B0PQoMiTcx_sv7MN0A2D1ZjoHdlVMKPlS4ulRkabVpCZHY3_yGdUB-UToX1WbK5UQEQ5Nd8r_gzhisOZ0HQnaBBDfQrYYr6jmyX1Ca9t_HhZeb7c1BKfvd4zPKi9MMVn8JuByVs/s1600-h/5.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 305px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVt606B0PQoMiTcx_sv7MN0A2D1ZjoHdlVMKPlS4ulRkabVpCZHY3_yGdUB-UToX1WbK5UQEQ5Nd8r_gzhisOZ0HQnaBBDfQrYYr6jmyX1Ca9t_HhZeb7c1BKfvd4zPKi9MMVn8JuByVs/s320/5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424977492301834690" border="0" /></a>Princesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07999596456903813084noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644568408901557912.post-32258191534663996162009-12-29T20:29:00.001-08:002009-12-29T21:09:53.551-08:00Home for the Holidays<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span>I went home to Utah for Christmas and it was great, other than freezing to death in my mothers house. She did turn up the heat from 69 degrees to 71 degrees when icicles formed on my nose though, so that was very generous of her! She had to take off all of her clothes because then it was WAY to hot for her, but aren't mothers supposed to make sacrifices for their children? Thanks Ma!<br /><br />We started some new family traditions this year.

Basically you get 2 Jelly Beans that look the same and you have to decide what flavor it is. Options include Coconut or Baby Wipes, Peach or Barf, and my personal favorite Buttered Popcorn or Rotten Cheese! I don't have any pictures of the great faces made as I was an active participant in the game.

I think it is partly because I know I am going to have to commit to some time as my computer is slower than molasses! I am going to try and be better though. Halloween came and went without any fanfare. Once again not one person came to my door (I did NOT buy candy this year) and once again, I was the only one who dressed up at work. Where is the sense of fun????

I don't have any pictures yet, and trust me, you do NOT want to see me right this second, so as soon as I decide to take one, I will post it. <br /><br />I have also started baking a treat for work on Mondays. Mondays suck as it is, so I wanted to bring treats for everyone to try and brighten the day. Here are a few things I have made so far but unfortunately I have not taken pictures of everything I have done. First we have Chocolate Pumpkin Cheesecake.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6Wwvvf0h7RGML3_sPgWubTrm1-99soFxCUahqa89Q_M1HI6SH5Hhzr2LmsH_0keokmHzd71YoWqJdwGhTw-9VsCO5JiQPuTOxNf23TNSRxRmfxtplwxuNkJCir9ZvAgSf44XaMxm9MeE/s1600-h/Picture+207.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6Wwvvf0h7RGML3_sPgWubTrm1-99soFxCUahqa89Q_M1HI6SH5Hhzr2LmsH_0keokmHzd71YoWqJdwGhTw-9VsCO5JiQPuTOxNf23TNSRxRmfxtplwxuNkJCir9ZvAgSf44XaMxm9MeE/s320/Picture+207.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401918851933100066" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvlYQqdN3NyCSOeHRR7EIsiLtGZul5L7-EWN-By90TM6wlnEwijjT0s1n8WwVnI8jHLsBFb9zM9FQwOSdVo_wEbFeznvkGOIT0v3Msa7ntNRExB4WjSfz6ER8rZz_Wh-T2lRv-xpzmTCA/s1600-h/Picture+210.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvlYQqdN3NyCSOeHRR7EIsiLtGZul5L7-EWN-By90TM6wlnEwijjT0s1n8WwVnI8jHLsBFb9zM9FQwOSdVo_wEbFeznvkGOIT0v3Msa7ntNRExB4WjSfz6ER8rZz_Wh-T2lRv-xpzmTCA/s320/Picture+210.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401919169048930498" border="0" /></a>Apple Toffee Tartlets<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG_Q13KH-8eC04ckoZ0OziWnN3GdBN3XKT18H0hkKWO4kpLqEGMXerrogeGe3dLlW8aqkxheHUO5iJfydbE8HnpQfRyBq2OG2CN5ML3pnHh3ScG1uRzzrjNI_j1XXYXyAo6jy6Y0aqIW0/s1600-h/Picture+239.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG_Q13KH-8eC04ckoZ0OziWnN3GdBN3XKT18H0hkKWO4kpLqEGMXerrogeGe3dLlW8aqkxheHUO5iJfydbE8HnpQfRyBq2OG2CN5ML3pnHh3ScG1uRzzrjNI_j1XXYXyAo6jy6Y0aqIW0/s320/Picture+239.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401920102066952114" border="0" /></a>Homemade Cinnamon Rolls (which took entirely TOO MUCH time!)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBZa3y-D__yDxHaPux3VV1JZrgeQyCamjI-9q0g6GVuPWroMFPKZe6O46nQE1t6NOwAcgO55A2-PSVC9HsYAJwceC_I4YWljqVSXkCHkALV6KGfrfNiE_AdvEzAWOJJOyzkymxh9d7sOA/s1600-h/Picture+243.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBZa3y-D__yDxHaPux3VV1JZrgeQyCamjI-9q0g6GVuPWroMFPKZe6O46nQE1t6NOwAcgO55A2-PSVC9HsYAJwceC_I4YWljqVSXkCHkALV6KGfrfNiE_AdvEzAWOJJOyzkymxh9d7sOA/s320/Picture+243.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401920890301477074" border="0" /></a>Here is my spin on Carrot cake in which I mixed half carrots, half sweet potatoes.

I LOVE to bake, and since I have been eating healthy it has been hard for me, but this allows me to do what I love and then give away to other people!<br /><br />I have been doing a lot of craft projects too and Celeste gave me this idea from a Womans Day magazine.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Ppy4hvnMSRpUfX2Xls2FTHOEZzZTXMsvgyLQegu0G0lStwDsX37P2OfikTYA58DXm5rxu_apzk-Jk-B4joaItg-CCex9YwXyAm04NhdD4X967WJHG8cQ2KdpPzFWRfBTkx9qIlLNHfs/s1600-h/Picture+247.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Ppy4hvnMSRpUfX2Xls2FTHOEZzZTXMsvgyLQegu0G0lStwDsX37P2OfikTYA58DXm5rxu_apzk-Jk-B4joaItg-CCex9YwXyAm04NhdD4X967WJHG8cQ2KdpPzFWRfBTkx9qIlLNHfs/s320/Picture+247.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401921264641286114" border="0" /></a>You take your old sweaters and make pillow cases out of them and close them up using cute buttons. So cute! I of course have been doing a lot of crocheting but nothing new or exciting. <br /><br />I have also been trying to help with my "carbon footprint" in small ways and I found these bags at Ross for $1.00 and use them whenever I go shopping. I don't only use them for groceries but also at the bookstore, the craft store, and the little ones I use as my lunchbox!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBFzLxARAo-n6e_4KUMqINk-v73sBLOb_ttKB0XqTjY40rpsNQCQjFy7hdNxIAsifY_BDrKziR7RkosYvp5bJuCGYSjEKjUKWg6id14tQBfPoZ551CnTDO_GTEi6Gzae9l9VxlVINvXj4/s1600-h/Picture+249.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBFzLxARAo-n6e_4KUMqINk-v73sBLOb_ttKB0XqTjY40rpsNQCQjFy7hdNxIAsifY_BDrKziR7RkosYvp5bJuCGYSjEKjUKWg6id14tQBfPoZ551CnTDO_GTEi6Gzae9l9VxlVINvXj4/s320/Picture+249.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401921855572439410" border="0" /></a>That's about it!

I decided that maybe my problem isn't the pillow, but the mattress. So I went and bought my first grown up purchase. A beautiful king size bed with an overpriced (hopefully worth it) mattress.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK065kMkr2cDkVOPS6-XEMkgUPHNtAXx1a6icXdTWrnmEr7g65WrI2YnTOlckX9OZX62S5rsDvchryzMRMPTdlGODTzRf7i30F-yABAIYLn6TiQfMkQmRKX8U_ETheyMDwZKYyO8j4h1c/s1600-h/Picture+224.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK065kMkr2cDkVOPS6-XEMkgUPHNtAXx1a6icXdTWrnmEr7g65WrI2YnTOlckX9OZX62S5rsDvchryzMRMPTdlGODTzRf7i30F-yABAIYLn6TiQfMkQmRKX8U_ETheyMDwZKYyO8j4h1c/s320/Picture+224.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391555006765016082" border="0" /></a>I have never bought anything brand new, it has either been given to me or I picked it up at a yard sale. It was very difficult to throw the money down, but I am a grown up now, and can handle grown up things! It has been very difficult for me not to just lay in it all day.......<br /><br />I also had some friends down this weekend and it was so good to see them and we had a great time.

With this weight loss, there has been a lot of changes in my wardrobe as things have become to big on me. As I have been cleaning out my closet, it has been really hard for me to give some of the things away because of the great fabric. So I decided to make pillows! No they do not match anything in my house, and yes I will probably have more than I need, but look how cute they turned out!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPems-rX0eO8CFF3KFEK1Gh9OF3dxDjOV16UCrsClcQkvJZs2vF_bN4S9pRcpSM1d_yL7nzwHYyTDKuQLGS3pZ1LCIekwCX8F0JrqvebYkczuS-yUykth7l_CvAuZ_RgPWQRhLWHim5P8/s1600-h/Picture+203.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPems-rX0eO8CFF3KFEK1Gh9OF3dxDjOV16UCrsClcQkvJZs2vF_bN4S9pRcpSM1d_yL7nzwHYyTDKuQLGS3pZ1LCIekwCX8F0JrqvebYkczuS-yUykth7l_CvAuZ_RgPWQRhLWHim5P8/s320/Picture+203.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389704720837871298" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidzT1-CvkV_rFYc5nm6cWIcRUn2VaQEUrI2p9po2ZZsMqoJQLy0KS54p1H8jdWfI2nv58E8LmXEwRhvufc5zb9axv719nljBRznan3tSvm709Ek8jfcX9msaiTYHhpV3Lot5EZYPVQKUw/s1600-h/Picture+204.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidzT1-CvkV_rFYc5nm6cWIcRUn2VaQEUrI2p9po2ZZsMqoJQLy0KS54p1H8jdWfI2nv58E8LmXEwRhvufc5zb9axv719nljBRznan3tSvm709Ek8jfcX9msaiTYHhpV3Lot5EZYPVQKUw/s320/Picture+204.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389705042347208818" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpg2w_6mq4etOV5DMx6T52nkueHUALoG-SDhCQLWkDa4EqPO2zbIm2tkQYAP8Gagu_13J5Ypx_DO1KqPiVcIanC2Z26RZ69GPbkz_O7NmGABC6nZR11YehGhVDvj4migOQjSEhOUynULg/s1600-h/Picture+202.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpg2w_6mq4etOV5DMx6T52nkueHUALoG-SDhCQLWkDa4EqPO2zbIm2tkQYAP8Gagu_13J5Ypx_DO1KqPiVcIanC2Z26RZ69GPbkz_O7NmGABC6nZR11YehGhVDvj4migOQjSEhOUynULg/s320/Picture+202.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389704362228699570" border="0" /></a>Now as we all know, my sewing skills are severely lacking and luckily pillows are forgiving, just don't look to close at my closing stitches!

I managed a visit to Utah over the 4th and there is nothing sad or depressing about seeing these gifts.......<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3x9T6paXTHKzb2FJp3QzYQmOiVeSBfm2WvEL0IbKeHUJUNHdy_-QGE66rP5JhbqtYa8EFL-1ZpZVFR_YvCLzw5czJzgpT_ktTqxHbxvkvEGQ9CUyAqFcDuNA_3Lda0XefeihT_7nh6wo/s1600-h/Picture+930.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3x9T6paXTHKzb2FJp3QzYQmOiVeSBfm2WvEL0IbKeHUJUNHdy_-QGE66rP5JhbqtYa8EFL-1ZpZVFR_YvCLzw5czJzgpT_ktTqxHbxvkvEGQ9CUyAqFcDuNA_3Lda0XefeihT_7nh6wo/s320/Picture+930.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362967920741098786" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDgkA4VZHxDuYKk-xPIE0jRFphLcylzgsjAen9RhovGDGBHzj9JT5UVXBERQpben_NJPD9wWst50pEQeKsH766ASynGNumMkLfYSH9sJtwIJA93cT4imCm-ief7jWGoWf4rkp7gSQy7JM/s1600-h/Picture+931.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDgkA4VZHxDuYKk-xPIE0jRFphLcylzgsjAen9RhovGDGBHzj9JT5UVXBERQpben_NJPD9wWst50pEQeKsH766ASynGNumMkLfYSH9sJtwIJA93cT4imCm-ief7jWGoWf4rkp7gSQy7JM/s320/Picture+931.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362968392881423154" border="0" /></a>I miss these guys so much and it brings me such joy when I am able to spend time with them! Do you see the burn on Belle's arm? Brian did that with a metal hot dog stick! It fell on her arm and she closed her arm on it, so it got both sides. Poor baby! Ok, Brian didn't do it, it was an accident! They are both so sassy and sweet at the same time. I got plenty of dirty looks from Trenter's but also some good loves. How can you not love those faces! <br /><br />I also got some good quality time with Jamie and Brian. I was able to watch fireworks with them and then we sat in the backyard with a fire and talked. It was really nice to just sit and be together. Jamie, I really miss our book club!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-FiC59S8J3eD79TQaHa2xSxqicMpCSpcTQvpGzGCk-F502qPCpYQCp3YOFZN219KXQb4VtyFFE_dNfgC5CVSWFwdwkeksBWMWNy9StEg7FtPKjwYwqoJ9RmYURqH5A3oxHkx80JK1XN0/s1600-h/Picture+935.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-FiC59S8J3eD79TQaHa2xSxqicMpCSpcTQvpGzGCk-F502qPCpYQCp3YOFZN219KXQb4VtyFFE_dNfgC5CVSWFwdwkeksBWMWNy9StEg7FtPKjwYwqoJ9RmYURqH5A3oxHkx80JK1XN0/s320/Picture+935.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362969361884222898" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4KqnZyKUhImAEKaiEmZ5tOzMZhKVPcRVP_wn_5PnDCdSdLxApUC9W-UgOGmEu_iXcTgR4ZeMBin987s3lLCBI5Zw-FXNjCMN7kqtpzdjZ9NPTXIYAnQKmHvmxu7o3XvXRgp9T7McQ14E/s1600-h/Picture+933.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4KqnZyKUhImAEKaiEmZ5tOzMZhKVPcRVP_wn_5PnDCdSdLxApUC9W-UgOGmEu_iXcTgR4ZeMBin987s3lLCBI5Zw-FXNjCMN7kqtpzdjZ9NPTXIYAnQKmHvmxu7o3XvXRgp9T7McQ14E/s320/Picture+933.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362970931511977874" border="0" /></a>I was also able to spend some quality time with Steph (sorry Steph apparently you were unavailable at all of the photo opportunities, but you know I love you, after all your tattooed on my arm for life!) and my brother in law, <span style="font-weight: bold;">phone face</span>, Ripley, or Pat if you prefer.

I have been planning a trip out to Hawaii for quite a few months now. I got the time off of work, bought some new clothes, stocked up on the sunblock and was able to snag myself a "buddy" pass from a friend of Steph's. Now I am putting "buddy" in quotation marks because this is not what it turned out to be! To make an incredibly long story short, I will sum it up. Long hours in the airport in Vegas, long hours spent on the computer looking at different flights, hating Delta for only having 1 flight to Hawaii a day out of only 3 different cities, BUYING a ticket to Los Angeles, long hours spent at LAX, BUYING a ticket back home to Las Vegas, wasted money on cab rides, and getting my hopes up over and over, only to have them crushed! What do I have to show for it????<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlMUQJrPa2nEBS1H4IDGxL3WT0RotbqR4EZ2hZ22kovz0F3Ya56I7MTrJHEqLabLs52_TtTOQw5gaXsTz7sSHoze0jJ9Y_KhcMU4jxHdznHtnIzGBoL2pM6K9AjQ2PeGU8vbMUXN86SZ8/s1600-h/Picture+922.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlMUQJrPa2nEBS1H4IDGxL3WT0RotbqR4EZ2hZ22kovz0F3Ya56I7MTrJHEqLabLs52_TtTOQw5gaXsTz7sSHoze0jJ9Y_KhcMU4jxHdznHtnIzGBoL2pM6K9AjQ2PeGU8vbMUXN86SZ8/s320/Picture+922.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352517174897321922" border="0" /></a>Lots of tickets!

So there, I have told the story and am in the final stage of grief which is acceptance. I am an evolved woman. Nina, your faulty "buddy" pass is no reflection on you as person, nor is the fact that the airline you work for needs to rethink their ideas on overselling flights that are apparently still very popular even in this crappy economy! I do appreciate that you gave it to me though, it made me a stronger person! I also believe that there is some bad Karma floating around and it has decided to set its' sights on me. I am not sure why and I have been trying to make things right with the universe, but with the month I have had, I think it is still mad.<br /><br />On another note, I had a birthday. It was pretty good and my friends from work took me to a "biker bar" so that we could look at hot men all night.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiylwrp7RL0KYVoQrVH10HVX5CNhkkgCLiH1iRQTb54OrrCy679TnXIcPiA4LSh1O2AH1L0bM7O6KYOEOzkA3dWR-hn3ypdLHS_moAFlaJZ_E3PpyAYpQ-1RHHdg4-txDjlT9CwxTG0bWs/s1600-h/Picture+918.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiylwrp7RL0KYVoQrVH10HVX5CNhkkgCLiH1iRQTb54OrrCy679TnXIcPiA4LSh1O2AH1L0bM7O6KYOEOzkA3dWR-hn3ypdLHS_moAFlaJZ_E3PpyAYpQ-1RHHdg4-txDjlT9CwxTG0bWs/s320/Picture+918.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352519367941262514" border="0" /></a>There were bikers there, this is true, but they were probably all over 50. Not that I don't think someone over 50 can't be hot (I mean look at Bruce Willis, yummy!) they just were NOT here. It was still fun and we did a lot of laughing!<br /><br />I also had my friend Legrand come to visit me and along with talking, laughing, lounging by the pool, and watching fabulous Lifetime movies together we also went to a show.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD24BAfzOG-J7mcYZuAfg7kQeOiE5ljVtkXG_qZLT15jwdlMo9i1F7MjHdkXJ3Ump6dY2FnKnPd5hyn4wYnWKM-v65wtYOa7QzrJTdKCOT28nfMjXYXEiorIHf-sFS9ejCu5reHeIhe3o/s1600-h/Picture+916.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD24BAfzOG-J7mcYZuAfg7kQeOiE5ljVtkXG_qZLT15jwdlMo9i1F7MjHdkXJ3Ump6dY2FnKnPd5hyn4wYnWKM-v65wtYOa7QzrJTdKCOT28nfMjXYXEiorIHf-sFS9ejCu5reHeIhe3o/s320/Picture+916.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352524873539774930" border="0" /></a>We saw Erikah Badu at MGM as a birthday treat for us both and it was awesome! Thanks Legrand! <br /><br />We have also moved offices at work. I am trying really hard not to complain because it is literally a mile from my house (goodbye commute!) but they have crammed me and my employee into a 9x9 cell with no window and so much stuff that we have to put most of it into the warehouse next door. So I will be spending a lot of my day going back and forth for the needed information. Positive spin is more exercise. Ok, I lied, I complained that whole paragraph.

By Friday night I had already put in 52 hours and I had to go in Saturday to help with the move. I was there from 7 to 5:30pm trying to get everything ready so that we are ready to work on Monday. Guess what, we are not. Then I had to go back today to do actual work because the move had put me behind on things that I have to have done. Here is the best part, I am on salary. That means I get paid 40 hours, that's it! Positive side, we are getting back the cuts they made to our salaries at the end of July. Does this mean we are not getting raises this year? <br /><br />I will try hard not to go so long without blogging as it is painstaking to the reader (sorry Amy)! I will also work on getting my sense of humor back as it is hard to be without one.

I thank all of you who have contributed in my journey towards this momentous occasion (Amy and Celeste). In case your wondering why this tattoo, it is a tribute to me and my sis who is my "right hand gal". Asian got kicked out of the tattoo as it did not fit with the flow, but don't worry he gets to be put somewhere else when I go back in July.

I get done shopping and scan all of my items and the last thing I send down the belt are these....<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj80Iv_x0kDjK5Bmfd7mCtAevPw8pn_F6lMh6us5c8Sw4Ui6DEOPoD7sShSyvlE3O4Mlg1aE2xBehfpKiv7QG3iAC_K4m-jQTW7QC61UfAkYsVvW3XqLgtsxy5JFQfRFdMw5dfDyJZpPIo/s1600-h/Picture+881.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj80Iv_x0kDjK5Bmfd7mCtAevPw8pn_F6lMh6us5c8Sw4Ui6DEOPoD7sShSyvlE3O4Mlg1aE2xBehfpKiv7QG3iAC_K4m-jQTW7QC61UfAkYsVvW3XqLgtsxy5JFQfRFdMw5dfDyJZpPIo/s320/Picture+881.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333939658781498562" border="0" /></a>(Girls if you don't have someone to buy you flowers, buy them for yourself!!!!) They went down last as I did not want them to get crushed by the other groceries. I pay and proceed to head down the belt to bag everything. I am not even halfway done bagging when a woman gets in my line and proceeds to check out and run her stuff down the belt. At first, I can't believe she is doing this and then I realize her stuff is SMASHING my flowers! I lean over and grab them and give her a look and she continues to check out and run her stuff down the belt. At this point, our groceries are getting all mixed in together and I am MAD! Now does this look like a face that angers easily?<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHuXwoS6162B1PagGlFgT1JYz7CikD-tc3Ormd2NprStraFqQqYQ97CB3-fMBs_xTc5IJXYts0P2rtSoGAdpzxpB1R6WJ1N9BZJ3wOyqhCuNYZj3qHnmBrb-6tvRyTiil12iakEz6fBpI/s1600-h/Picture+883.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHuXwoS6162B1PagGlFgT1JYz7CikD-tc3Ormd2NprStraFqQqYQ97CB3-fMBs_xTc5IJXYts0P2rtSoGAdpzxpB1R6WJ1N9BZJ3wOyqhCuNYZj3qHnmBrb-6tvRyTiil12iakEz6fBpI/s320/Picture+883.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333941522234654098" border="0" /></a>Well it's not! But I have to say I wanted to resort to some violence right there in the store, I mean the gall of this woman! So I say"excuse me, can you please wait until I am finished" and she says, "Oh I am done anyway" as she sends her last item down the belt. Well this really ticks me off and I continue bagging and start shoving her stuff out of the way. She calmly comes over and starts bagging her things right next to me, while I try to make sure she doesn't take any of my things! I continue to forcefully shove her stuff away from mine as she finishes bagging and she doesn't say a word to me! I am sorry to say, as she walked away, I couldn't help myself, I called her a B***H. No response, she just kept walking. In hindsight I am glad I did not get a reaction out of her, as I am also not a fighter and probably could have got my butt kicked! I will also admit, it felt really good to call her that! I deal with rude people on a daily basis, but this just sent me over the edge!<br /><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Brian/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg" alt="" /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaF_P67hi4WSkVdzDH3SNubb1KwD-FRMNI3ayJvSclsdLQcsMIsp6kIn2DGUpqNDTnHb0HL6zEUPyHJExyq7QOM0uXmRZwxrjrcRvti-fnRdP3iyqLTSGH0YjM8nUVQbUwm-_lmp1m8is/s1600-h/6.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 199px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaF_P67hi4WSkVdzDH3SNubb1KwD-FRMNI3ayJvSclsdLQcsMIsp6kIn2DGUpqNDTnHb0HL6zEUPyHJExyq7QOM0uXmRZwxrjrcRvti-fnRdP3iyqLTSGH0YjM8nUVQbUwm-_lmp1m8is/s320/6.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333948666855988738" border="0" /></a>Let's see what else do I have...... I made an awesome sandwich for lunch today which consisted of smoked salmon, Persian cucumbers, and goat cheese on whole wheat. Yummy! Also, it is 95 degrees today and I am loving it! It's pool time!<br /><br />Have you ever let something occur, when you normally would not, just to see what happens? I did!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiKdqBFDn1opncRNkWwW7ZZH4wsXwDZz9bwMJu_i2seJSIIkPdNuk3VAD_w6cYgJNYbW1f-qJ8nmCmGCrGSZ0cB6TNWJNLfzToWtgLwMO2rBRdPGaT0lOLANwHcwSpD1_9dRYzgiWRZ2Y/s1600-h/Picture+878.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiKdqBFDn1opncRNkWwW7ZZH4wsXwDZz9bwMJu_i2seJSIIkPdNuk3VAD_w6cYgJNYbW1f-qJ8nmCmGCrGSZ0cB6TNWJNLfzToWtgLwMO2rBRdPGaT0lOLANwHcwSpD1_9dRYzgiWRZ2Y/s320/Picture+878.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333945315644594642" border="0" /></a>That my friends, is a sweet potato that started to grow some eyes. I may continue to see what happens.......<br /><br />Lastly here is a shout out to all you mommas out there who keep this world in an endless supply of diapers in the landfills, kids kicking the back of your seat on a plane, train, or automobile, and piercing shrieks in the movie theaters, shopping centers, and restaurants. Thanks for all you do! You know I love you all!Princesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07999596456903813084noreply@blogger.com3
