I figure no one reads this any more so I can just vent....

Sometimes you just need to say something but don't want anyone to listen...

Caution: Pity Party Ahead!

I am currently having a "Why Me" moment and it's not pretty. 

Such is life.....

See, I feel better already.

Maybe tomorrow will be better.  Until then, I will stay in my flannel pajama's, my BYU sweatshirt and fussy slippers, thank you very much! 

I've been STABBED!!!

This picture is not for everybody.  If you don't like blood then you shouldn't look.

Yes, it's true....that is BLOOD (eww, gross)

Last night while shopping another girl grabbed an outfit that I wanted and we got into a wicked knife fight...okay, not really! 

I was actually getting ready to go out on a dinner date with my husband.  Earlier that day my blood sugar was running a little high so I thought I would change my Insulin site to the other side.  After I finished putting in my new site, I ripped out my old one and started to put on makeup.  I leaned over the counter to apply eye liner and my stomach felt wet and I thought I had leaned into some water on the counter.  I immediately started to blame my husband for leaving a mess on counter and not clean it up.  When I looked down though all I saw was RED. 

I screamed, lifted up my shirt and blood was pulsing out of my old insulin site.  Yep, I had hit a vein and blood was gushing out EVERYWHERE!  This has happened once or twice before but I usually catch it on time, so i don't make a mess.  This time not-so-much.  There was blood EVERYWHERE. 

Don't worry, after a quick wardrobe change, we still went out on a nice date and thanks to stain remover,  I spend this morning cleaning up my mess.

On a side note...Benja's new resturant behind the mall is EXCELLENT!!!  :-)

In my past life I was a fashion designer

I had a dream about a week ago about this skirt design so the next day I grabbed my sewing machine, fabric and lace and just started sewing.  I made this skirt for my adorable niece Taylin. Since, I didn't have a pattern or a little child to measure, i really hope it fits her.  I think it turned out pretty dang cute considering that I can barely sew a straight line let alone a whole skirt. 

The front

close-up of lace...cute, don't you think?

The back ( figured out how to do the elastic back all by myself, I am pretty dang proud!!!)

Who knows if it will fit her but I really hope it does. 

The dream i had, I remember seeing Taylin getting some cool black and white pictures taken by my mom and sister and she was in this skirt, sitting on a rock blowing a dandy lion (detailed I know) and all I remember is looking at this skirt and thinking to myself, I am so glad I made that skirt for her, this pictures are going to turn out so cute.  When i woke up, the image of this skirt was so vivid that I said to myself, I better make this dream come true...and viola! 

Lesson learned:

some dreams come true because of luck,

some dreams come true because of magic,

but most all dreams come true by hard work!!!

Hooray

Guess what...I'm back! Finally, after months and months of trying to get my expensive camera to link up to my new cheap computer, it finally worked. Thanks to Ryan, who finally figured it out! Turns out that there is a setting on the camera that needed to be changed and not the computer that needs to be changed. Who knew?!? So now I can show all my pictures on the blog and fb! Yip-ee

Tooth Fairy Pillows

The other night I hosted a craft night to make some of these adorable tooth fairy pillows. We had so much fun and here is how some of them turned out!

I am one of the teachers in Young Women's and I am always searching for music or video to help prepare my lesson. I found this one on You Tube by one of my favorite publishers, DavidKat99. He does such a great job! I hope you like this uplifting video as much as I do!!!

The Invention of Lying

Okay so I love this actor, Ricky Gervais. He was in Ghost Town and that movie was freaking hilarious! I hope this movie is going to be just as funny! IF you haven't seen Ghost Town yet, call me and I will let you borrow it!!! It's FUNNY, trust me!!! Here is a little preview of The Invention of Lying coming out on October 2. I we are going to try and see it the first week it comes out, if anyone wants to double with us that would be great. Let me know and we can pick a date that works for all of us!!!
