A New Endeavor

Friends and family. I am embarking on a new endeavor of hand made jewelry. The jewelry items are made with glass beads, semi-precious gemstones, and hypoallergenic accessories. The jewelry comes in a set, with one bracelet, and a pair of pierced earrings. The bracelets fit the average size woman's wrist. The price is $10 for the set. If you don't live in Utah, I am willing to ship for a $2 fee. Please let me know if you see anything you like, and I will try to update the pics on this once or twice a week with new items.


Also, I always carry jewelry with me, so, if I'm around, and you want to look, just ask. :)

Taking a stand!

Well. . .   lately things have been bugging me a lot, and, today, I decided to take a stand for one of them, and I'm really glad I did.  It turned out to be just a misunderstanding, so there was no reason for me to be mad in the first place.  :)  Yea!!!!!

I am a normal girl. . . 

Except when I'm not.

I had the opportunity to go to the Manti pageant last Friday night, and well, let me tell you that I think I really embarrassed myself.

I have to start off by telling you that I had gotten up on Friday morning at 4:30 am because I had to take my mom to the airport.  Then, I worked a full day at work without a break.  And, had to go home and pack stuff because I am house sitting while my mom is gone visiting my sister.  So, by the time we left for the pageant, I was a little bit tired.

The ride there was pretty uneventful, except for the fact that the girl I didn't know who came with us thought I was married w/ children, because I kept referring to "my kids."  (BTW, "my kids" are the kids I am directing in Les Mis.  It's just easier to say "my kids" then to say, the kids I am directing.)

Anyway, when we actually got to the pageant, that is when the ADD kicked in.  After we found a place to sit, all I could think about was cotton candy.  I believe one of my sentences consisted of, "Oooo, cotton candy, I want some. . .   Check out that cool dog. . .   Oh, a live band on a couch, that's cool. . .  So, does anyone see the cotton candy stand yet?"  And, lets just say that the night continued to progress from there.

I should tell you that when you are watching the Manti pageant, the people running around on the hill in the dark look like ants.  And, normally, that probably would affect you, but, when you are running on 4 hours of sleep, and have been awake for about 20 hours, it is pretty dang funny.  Also, long, biblical words are very, very humorous, right Barbara?  

Anyway, on the ride home, I really got the giggles, and was making the stupidest comments.  I think there were more about cotton candy, trail mix, swedish fish, and maybe more.  The ride home was kind of a blur.  Let's just say that I was very happy to make it home to sleep that night.

Bowling.

I love bowling.

I went last night for the first time in years.  It was a fun night.  As most of you know, I injured my wrist last week, so, it was kind of scary to go bowling, but, because of my injury, I was very careful and controlled with my bowling.  In the first game, I did ok, I broke 100, but, the second game was spectacular (for me)!! I bowled 157.  I think that's the highest score I've had since high school, when I used to go bowling by myself and play, like, 4 or 5 games.

TAX DAY!!!!!!

Those words bring dread into the hearts of many.  But, not this one.  I completed filing my taxes the first day of February, and got my taxes in my bank account a week and a half later.  Does anyone else find it funny that there is this big deal about the deadline of April 15th, but that it is amazingly easy to file an extension?  I think it's pretty funny.  

"Well. . .   It was a pretty heavy make out session."

A blank stare from my eyes as my "best"friend uttered these words.  She was referring to what happened between her and the man I was in love with.  I would come to find out later that "a heavy make out session" meant kissing once, shortly, on the lips, nothing fancy.  But, in her rush to make me back off, and hurt me permanently, she called it a heavy make out session.  Mission accomplished.

I can honestly say that a lot of the problems I have stem from that moment.  I still remember the feeling I had when she said those words.  It felt like I was being dropped down a long pit with no safety net at the bottom and no bun-gee cords attached to me.  It was a scary feeling.  I think I have finally hit the net I was waiting for, and most of the pain is gone.

You know, I always intend to update this every day, but then stuff happens, and it ends up being every week or two. But, I guess it's OK, because not a lot has happened recently.

First off, my tap teacher asked me to join the more advanced performance group she has. That's the first time in my life I have been asked to join something more advanced, so, that's pretty cool. :)

Second, my boss actually complimented me on my clothing. About two weeks ago he pulled me and Mel aside and told us that when we moved into our new building we needed to start dressing better. So, I went out and bought new work outfits, and he actually complimented me on one of them.

Third, we moved into our new building for work. And, as cold as it is here, it's pretty nice.

And, I have my first rehearsal at the Hale tomorrow night. Scary, but exciting. :)
