Private Investigator

Does anyone know a PI that would do some stalking for a decent price? Or does anyone want to do some stalking for me? This is the real deal type stalking too...

Mean Girls

Since I decided to already go private rather than waiting until the end of the week, I can already start positing things I wouldn't have posted before.
Today at church we took our usual bathroom break. Let me tell you, I need it as much as the kids do. So we were standing next to the drinking fountain waiting for the boys...they sure take a long time...when I overheard one little girl talking to the other. I missed the first part but I did catch, "And no body likes you so you." She then moved to be away from the girl she said this to.

Ok I remember the mean girls when I was in 5th and 6th grade but from 6 year olds...(Ok I probably was the mean girl at that age.) The girl that this was said to just took it. She didn't fight back or anything. The thing is, this is not the first time I have heard this at church! The time before though the little girl did end up crying. I think she actually had tears in her eyes once we got back to class today. I have never heard this girl say a mean thing.

Girl #1 Mean Girl
Girl #2 Other Girl

About 2 months ago I heard girl #1 tell girl #2, Stop bragging, no body cares about what you are going to do.
The sad thing is, I knot that Girl #1 has learned this from her mom. Her mom can be so nice and sweet yet she totally has a mean streak to her. (She once made one of those mean girl type comments to me...like in the movie where Regina says, Oh I love it. Then turns and starts ripping on the girls skirt.) I know she has scared me...

I just hope and pray that girl #2 knows that she is loved and that girl #1 someday learns that saying these things is not right.

Going Private

I have decided to go private. I told Rick when he first found out I was blogging that it was private. Well I need to honor that. Besides, I have decided that I have some things I want to say and I don't want the world to see them.
I am going to go private on Nov 15th so that gives you plenty of time to let me know if you want to be kept on my list or not. If you know I have your email, just leave me a comment so I know to add you. If I don't have your email, send it to me. If you don't have mine...we will figure it out.

By the way, homemade soft ginger cookies are a really good breakfast.

My World - Has Become Teeny Tiny

Since moving to Draper my world has shrunk. I lived until the age of 13 in Arlington Hills and the Avenues. Then we lived in Olympus Hills until I was married almost 2 years ago. Therefore, going downtown was not a big deal. I grew up hanging out at Crossroads Mall and I even went to an "inner city school". (I didn't know it was inner city at the time.) I worked out in West Valley for almost 5 years and knew my way around there as well. And while working there we often went to lunch downtown.
I had no issues going anywhere in the Salt Lake Valley. I didn't mind it one bit.
I have been working near Thanksgiving Point for about 18 months now and my world has drastically shrunk. There is one reason and one reason alone for me going north of 12300 South...to visit family. (Ok and maybe the occasional doctor's visit.) Since Harmon's opened on Bangerter (13800 south) I rarely even make it to 12300 South. I go up there for the library which is actually on 12400. Seriously, there are very few reasons for me to drive north of there.
Then there is Utah County. I go to Lehi/American Fork all the time. It is only 15 min away from my office, as is 12300 south. I never thought I would know Lehi as well as I do. Going to the Roller Mill to get brownie mix, a regular occurence.
I just googled the directions of Draper to Lehi. It is less than 15 miles!!! That's right, my world is down to approx 12.8 miles. The odd thing about all of this...I like it - even if Rick teases me now that I drive like a grandma when I do get into traffic compared to the aggressive maniac I used to be. So those of you who gave me suggestioned on places for pedicures, please don't take it personally but north of 12300 south, just too far north for me. (But I do appreciate the suggestions.)

Pedicure

I need a pedicure. I have needed one for a long time but I am REALLY picky on where I go. There are only 2 places I trust and they are just too far away for my lazy butt to drive there. Does anyone know of a good place in Draper? I don't want some school or place where people are just learning. I want somewhere that has the full ambiance and all that too.

White Chocolate Berry Pie

I think this is the recipe I used for my white chocolate raspberry pie. I know it is from the same place and sounds pretty much the same, but it has a different picture from the original. I guess things can change over 3 years.
I did a graham cracker crust. The thought of flaky tasteless crust made me think that it would detract from the tastiness of this wonderful pie.
If you decide to make this wonderful pie and it turns out...don't forget to share it with the one who introduced you to it. ;-)

Ricky Sticky

I don't think Rick knows that everyone I know, knows his nick name is Ricky Sticky (Did you track that?) He probably wouldn't be so happy if he knew so for my safety, please don't call him Ricky Sticky to his face.
Rick pretty much does all the house work around here. I cook and that is about it. Tonight the Paparazzi caught him cleaning up dinner.I was thinking that it would be cool to do a blog with all the photos I have of Rick's hand in front of his face. The only problem is that they are on various discs. (I don't have an external hard drive and since my itunes takes up 37% of my hard drive, I have to put my photos on discs. Today I was down to 181MB on my hard drive...but this is all for another day. We are talking about Rick and the paparazzi.)
A few months ago my step mom asked me to get a photo of Rick without him making a face or putting his hand in it. She said, I don't think I have ever seen a normal photo of him. It sure made me laugh. Yes I have them, BUT they are few and far between. I wouldn't trade my camera shy house cleaning Rick for anyone!

Flowers

I have many great friends and family members. This past weekend my cousin stopped by with some goodies for Rick and me. This is a cousin that has never lived in the same state at me! He is 11 years younger than me, and yes, a boy. He is awesome!
My dad and stepmom also sent me some beautiful flowers...The photo with the pumpkins is the first day they were here. The other is day 3. They are opening up so beautifully. Man I like people who bring me things. hehehe

Pie Night

We have some friends who have Pie Night the night before Thanksgiving. Since everyone is usually too full on Thanksgiving to actually eat any pie. This is also a good way to start stretching your stomach for the big meal.
Last year we were unable to go because of Rick having double knee surgery that day. I told him that unless one of us is on our death bed that we are going this year.
The first year we went I took a peanut butter and chocolate pie and a white chocolate cheese cake pie with raspberries. I won the prize for the best pie!
So here is my quest...I need to find a pie that will out due my last one. This isn't going to be an easy task either. (I will see if I can find the recipe for these two pies. I have no idea what I did with them as it was 3 years ago.)

Disneyland

I have decided that I want to go to Disneyland for our 2nd anniversary in December. I don't know if it will happen but I am going to see what I can do to try and make it happen. Does anyone have any thoughts on where to get the best prices? I used Get-Away-Today for our Honeymoon and a friend in San Diego said his best experience is with Costco. I don't want to spend a lot of money so I really don't know if I can make this happen or not. I thought I would blog and see if anyone had any ideas...also, we don't drive so we will be flying, if we go.

Hat Give Away

I mentioned this site before but want to again...my friend Darci creates the most adorable hats. She makes them for babies all the way up to...well I bet adults. She is so creative and does each one herself. I can't believe how talented she is. Now she is going to be giving away 3 free hats! Check out her blog and her Etsy store. Just think, Christmas is coming up. What a fun and unique gift or stocking stuffer for your daughters and nieces. There are some really cute boy ones on the blog too. I know that if I didn't have so much hair I seriously would wear this hat all the time. (My hair would probably make it pop up and look dorky!) But seriously, they are so cute!!!

Quackers

For those of you that don't know, there is a pond on our property. Some mornings there are probably 500+ Canadian Geese out there and other days, nothing. It is pretty funny. We do have some ducks that like to hang out too. Last week I went out on the porch said something to Rick who was inside and from around the corner of the other building tons of ducks came walking over. Just to the sound of my voice. Saturday we were cleaning out our cupboards and getting rid of dead bread. We went out on our porch and saw two off in the distance. Rick decided to do his duck call. Low and behold, they were hiding just around the corner of the other building. They all came running. Yep, that was my excitement for Saturday!

Bunnies

I was looking through my photos from my old cpu when I found this photo... I miss Maddy's bunnies. They were cute. Glad they didn't live with me!
