Abstinence

It happened.....they found me.

Right when you start getting just the slightest bit of comfortable in your abnormally mixed Relief Society; just when you start enjoying and paying attention in Sunday school past the normal observations of the clothing ensembles around you and the spit up oozing off the back of the woman's shirt in front of you, heading directly for your fabulous leather boots.....they ask to you to stop by the "clerks" office for a minute. Just a minute eh? For all of you who do not know Mormon code.....This means you are getting a calling and unless you can develop the black plague between sunday school and Relief Society....you are going to get it. No way around it. If you re lucky like me you will also get suckered into saying the prayer in SACREMENT next Sunday. Boo

I have been infected. Infected with a calling and I fear there will never be another awkward silence to sit through in Sunday School while we wait for a prayer volunteer.

I think it is because I am O.C.D. That has to be why I was given this calling. Because it surely cannot be because I give off this maternal love. You cannot expel maternal-ness in a banana pencil skirt, an over-sized vintage pearl necklace, and a mohair Jackie o' jacket. It just doesn't work that way. My horrified face at the smell of children s bottoms I am sure doesn't help either.

I whimper as I dare not speak its name.....Sigh......BIG SIGH.........BIGGER SIGH........

Secretary in the Primary Presidency

How did that feel coming out.....like VINEGAR. I knew I had been under the radar too long. One year and four months in a Utah ward is unheard of to go without a calling. Save me! And yet I tremble at the thought of the work that is to ensue. OIY VEY.

This one goes out to you Nuva Ring!

Thanksgiving slash December

Thanksgiving this year was fab. I was the hostess. Let me tell you, Monica Geller-Bing, and Bree Van De Camp-Hodge make things look so much easier than they are. Despit my bestest efforts to be oh so prepared and produce a fabulous meal with a lovely and enchanting table setting, there were a few hic-ups. However We powered through and it turned out Lovely! So good and so much fun. My favorite part was the Sparkling Cider....it makes me feel so fancy! My mother in Law rocked the bird and My divine friend Jess literally helped me with everything from start to finish! What a gem! She was my saving grace this year! The boys were so great to do all the clean up so us girls could run to Old Navy for some killer deals! Ty even let me buy somethings for myself! I was so happy!

After the madness of the holiday and working the whole time, We are back to regular scheduled days. I HATE IT. I have so much to do and so much to accomplish before the beginning of next week! AHHHH! I want it to be over so bad! I am so excited to have a break! Believe me Ty and I need one. Thanksgiving was fun....but super stressful and there was so much crap to do at the inn, it was definitely no break. Someday I swear we are going to take a real vacation without feeling guilty for missing work!

So until the hell ends....We are over and out!

I hate when no one comments on your blog! Can I just say it is so annoying. I Try to comment on other peoples blog pretty regularly...and me? NOTHIN! I am so t-oed. Lame.
Happy Freaking Thanksgiving.
I am thankful for blog comments.

For the LOVE

Every facet of my life consists of two words right now. TINY HOUSE. Tiny house is a project I have been working on since the beginning of the semester and I will continue to work on it till the end. I now dream in tiny house. I wake up and can;t remember if I really did have to change that wall or if I was dreaming. My husband doesn't remember what my face looks like sans the stressed furrow I am currently sporting 24/7. I can't remember what a full nights sleep is like and my boss is pretty sure I don't work here anymore. Despite the hell.....I am loving every second of it. I could not be more happy and more in love with what I am doing. I feel like for the first time in my life I am doing exactly what I was meant to do. I am dedicated, stressed, and thriving. Although it seems I have no time for friends let alone my husband...it has been one of the most exciting and fulfilling times of my life. This is my post to tell all the people that I love in the world....I am sorry I am so busy and just because I forgot to eat for two days I was so busy doesn't mean I have forgotten about you. I think of you all the time. I would love to be able to write each of you a blog to tell you all how much I love and appreciate you in my life, unfortunately I don't have the time. That doesn't make it any less true. To those of you who have gotten me here...I love you, and I am eternally thankful. This one goes out to you....

Here are ten truths about me. I felt obligated to do this because I never do these things. This is so that Megan PS will know I love her.

1. Every time I hear the song The Way You Look Tonight, I get misty.

2. I love fresh Sheets that smell like Downy Lavender, cold at first and warm and cozy soon after.

3. The soap in my bathroom has to be in direct relation to the edge and the faucet.

4. I want to be Bree Hodge slash Monica Geller-Bing when I grow up.

5. I judge woman by their legs and hair first.

6. I can only eat one item of food on my plate at a time.

7. I definitely pose in front of the mirror

8.I once peed on the front lawn of my ex boyfriend

9. Every time I wish for something its either to lose weight or lose weight.

10. I am currently missing 1/4" of Eye lashes on my right lid.

The H word

This is Halloween, This is Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, HALLOWEEN! In this town we call home...everyone hails to the pumpkin song!
Halloween rocks my world.....one of my very favorites! nothing brings me more happiness that watching Satan carry Cinderella from house to house. Let me break down why I have a serious love for Halloween:
Candy. Candy and I go way back...we are blood brothers.
decorations, I love things fancy.
Parties....I have this serious desire to be a hostess, all the time.
I love dressing up. Especially when it involves fake eyelashes
Dancing the thriller dance...some of my best memories are crowned with this dance
Sugar coma: you never sleep as good as you do when you crash from a sugar coma
All Hallows Eve: you get to be evil and its cool.

Also totally unrelated I love the show Reba. Its so funny.
