Fire at the OK Corral
We had a fire last week. I was out on the porch when I saw a little smoke coming out of the dumpster.
I told the dood about it and he walked down to check it out since I couldn't tell if it was real smoke or just dust. He didn't see any flames so I called the apartment complex people. It took them 15 to send someone over. By then we had some nice smoke. While I was waiting I noticed that there were some buds on the try. 
The apartment guy showed up without a fire extinguisher cause I guess they didn't trust me when I called. He took another good 5-8 min to get back with one
By then I didn't know when he would be back so I called the fire department. 
It even took them 20 min to get the fire out. (Notice our little black car was the second car next to the dumpster.) I have no idea what was in there burning but I think they probably filled the dumpster half way with water before it went out.

Matilda Jones
I can't believe I didn't blog about my sister Maddy aka Matilda Jones, back in JANUARY. See I totally suck at blogging now. I am WAY out of date. 
Not only that, she brought her squishy with her.
Facials
So it is evident that I suck at blogging lately. I just don't have the time. I haven't even been clearing the photos of my camera, something I really need to do because I am almost out of space.
One of the fun things I have been busy doing was going to a facial/skin care party with my friends.
I almost didn't make it because I had to present a thing in Relief Society the same night. I am SOOOO glad I went. How often do you have your friends tell you that you look like toothpaste?

Home
I am so excited for my new home. I NEVER thought I would have my own home built. Everything I do everyday is around getting into my new home. Once we move in, I know I will have so much to do. I can't wait to be able to work in my yard - those that have known me long enough know that I have serious about this too. Just so excited!!

Taco Bell
Last night we were discussing different things in life when Taco Bell was brought up. It was discussed that each of us has our guilty pleasure there. For one it was Nachos Bell Grande and another it was a #8 - I don't remember what the #8 is. For me, it is the Crunchy Fresco Tacos. I gave in today and purchased fast food for lunch for the first time this entire year! Ok I really ran out of time last night, talking with family, for me to make lunches so Rick said, why don't you just go buy lunch tomorrow. I have a million+ options near work but one place stood out very clearly in my mind. I had to go to Taco Bell.
I remember the VERY first time I ate there. I was 17 years old and had just graduated from high school. I was visiting my dad and family in Seattle. The boy across the street was a bat boy for the Mariners and he took me to a game. After we stopped at Taco Bell. Prior to this time, we had always had Time Time. (The Taco Time on 400 south which was next door to a Taco Bell to be specific. We ate there 2 or 3 times a week in my memory. They had felt pictures on the walls of bull fighters. But Taco Time is not the point of this blog.)
I believe I ordered 2 tacos. I don't know if I specified soft or crunchy and really don't know which I received. I do remember the lovely yellow wrapping. So this boy and I were eating out Taco Bell at like 11:00 pm - really the only the acceptable time to eat Taco Bell. I do remember that for some reason I didn't eat my second taco. Not only that, I slid it under the seat of this guy's car. It was some yellow mustang type car. Something I am sure he babyed.
Now here's the thing, he ended up being a jerk and later on in life I remembered that hidden taco and laughed to myself. Even now, more than 15 years later, I still laugh at the stench that he must have found in his car weeks later.

This weekend
Been a little busy this weekend. My sister's dad, ok technically "half-blood sister" - OOO maybe I will start calling her the Half Blood Princess - anyway, my X-Stepfather passed away on Thursday. I learned this on Saturday morning. Saturday afternoon I learned the preemie baby born to my aunt's x-husband (yes this is a trend) died on Saturday. He was born on Monday at 24 weeks and just wasn't strong enough.
Been doing the house and Valentine's thing too. I will get some house photos up as soon as I can.

Gardening Update
So I had my gardening class this week...we learned about watering. I also learned that EVERYTHING he goes over is in his book. That means, I am not taking notes anymore. I guess you check out www.gordonwells.net if you want to learn more. Really this guy is awesome!

Sam's Club or Costco
I haven't had a Sam's or Costco Membership the past few years. I am going to get one when we move since I will actually have a pantry for storage room. The question is now, which one!?! Hear is my problem - when I last shopped at Costco they did not have Tyson chicken. Only Pilgrim's Pride or something like that. Well I won't eat another other than Tyson. Sam's Club did carry it. Then there is toilet paper....Sam's carried Northern. That is what we use. Costco did not carry it. I don't like Charmin, well the dude doesn't like Charmin because it leaves white cooties all over the bathroom, even if it is softer.
I don't like Kirkland brands overall but I REALLY don't like the Walton family.
What am I supposed to do?!?

Lunch Break
I was at my usual lunch hang out, the park near my work. There was only one other car in the entire parking lot when a 3rd decided to join us. This lady parked 10 feet from me! I do not understand this type of behavior. Seriously, we have over 1,000 sq ft available to park and she parks right next to me.
So what do I do? I backed up my car and moved. I was not going to have someone that close to me.
Not much later another car drives up. I look over and watch the passenger take off his jacket, put it in the backseat and commence to make out with the driver. Fortunately she was female. Nevertheless, this was some "Get a room" action. Eventually they stopped and I assume ate some food. I couldn't see that well but yes, I did continue to monitor their actions. If there was going to be a nudie show during lunch, I was going to make sure I saw it because as we all know, I have my camera in my purse! Alas, no such luck.
I eventually lost interest and went back to my book.
About 20 min later I see the couple getting out of the car and into their trunk. Then the lady starts walking towards me. I think...Oh crap! What does she want. I open my window part way and she asks if I have jumper cables. HAHAHA Their battery died!
I being the kind person I am drove over to help them out, because yes I do have jumper cables in the car. While getting them I found a few other things I have in the back of my car. My Utah Ute flag, window shades, a roll of toilet paper and an entire box of tampons!
The moral of the story...I could find a new place that was a little more secluded for lunch but I sure wouldn't get this type of free entertainment. Oh yeah, make sure your isn't going to die if you are going to go make out in it at a park.
