Another reason Wal-Mart is ridiculous

I got this email from my cousin and I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to share this with you...my many friends with a disgust for Wal-Mart. Keep in mind this actually happened with a cake from Wal-Mart. This was for someone who was moving from an insurance claims office.
Okay so this is how I imagine this conversation went:

Walmart Employee: 'Hello 'dis be Walmarts, how can I help you?'

Customer: ' I would like to order a cake for a going away party this week.'

Walmart Employee: 'What you want on da cake?'

Customer: 'Best Wishes Suzanne' and underneath that 'We will miss you'.

I Love My Mom

My mom is the absolute coolest lady around. I couldn't get through life without her. She is my greatest supporter and whom I trust the most. I call her at the drop of a hat and she is never too busy to listen to me. I am the person I am today because of her...all the good that is:) I love her dearly and am so grateful I was blessed to be her daughter.

Please enjoy my fav Mother's Day clip

What's in a name?

Ordering at Kentucky Fried Chicken can be quite a task. You never know from what walks of life, your KFC associate will be from. The other day we had this nice, redneck fellow. He asked for our names in order to let us know when our food was ready. I proceeded to spell out my name since no one ever gets it right. It's usually misspelled or a completely different name is written ie. Krista, Crystal, Tristan. However, when my friend got her ticket back, I was amused and bewildered. I have never seen Diana spelled this way before. It almost looks like a threat...DIE ANNA. I hope this hillbilly will not be entering any spelling bees soon.

Ciao to Italia

So I really didn't think I would have time to blog on vacation, but since we've had internet access pretty much everywhere we've stayed, I guess I'd better write a tid bit of information. We've been in Italy for about a week and a half now and we're finally moving onto London tomorrow. Italy has been a wonderful place to visit. The people here are super friendly which has been helpful since we have no idea where we are half of the time. A couple admirers have been nice enough to invade my personal space with a peck on the cheek or hand and I've also had their love professed to me. I will be sad to leave, but I'm looking forward to a place where there won't be as many language barriers. Hope you're all having fun without me and next time I'll hopefully post some pics. Arrivedecci! Not sure of the spelling

It's The Final Countdown

Well friends, after months of planning, researching, and anticipation, it's FINALLY time to bid you a farewell for a few weeks. I will be leaving for Paris in less than 36 hours. Darla, Tiffany, and I will be enjoying the wonderful sights of France, Italy, and England. And I know you are all so jealous. Hopefully, I'll be able to post some pics as soon as I get back. Wish me luck!

Yet another tag...

I guess I will comply to the rules and complete my tag. Here are the rules for this tag:
a) List 10 honest things about yourself - and make it interesting, even if you have to dig deep! and b) Pass the award on to 7 bloggers that you feel embody the spirit of the Honest Scrap.

1. Reality shows make me cry. I always tear up at least once while watching Biggest Loser and American Idol. I guess I'm a softy.
2. I can recite Dirty Dancing word for word.
3. I didn't try chinese food until I was 20. Growing up in Sanpete there are just not that many options and we were a "meat and potatoes" family.
4. I've always been paranoid that my house will catch on fire in the middle of the night. I always have to include it in my prayers before I go to bed.
5. I have a ridiculous, sickening amount of useless pop culture knowledge.
6. I've never had a bloody nose.
7. When I was 5, we were coming home from Provo and I was sleeping in the back seat. We hit a deer and I fell off the seat. I was screaming that I was bleeding so my parents pulled over only to find that the "blood" that I felt was actually just my tears.
8. I've always wanted a tattoo. A yellow submarine. Although I could never think of a good enough place to put it.
9. I have been caught "shoplifting" at Shopko. Although it's not what you think.
and I saved the best for last...
10. Until I was in 6th grade, I slept with a nightlight and my mom tucked me into bed. Yep, 6th grade.

I tag: Tasha, Sha, Elise, Amy, Marlyce, Sharee, and Debra.

Busy week already...

Although it's only Wednesday, I'm exhausted.  On Monday, I had the opportunity to audition for an Aveda Freelance Advisor (AFA).  I had to perform a timed full face makeup application and have it judged to see if I have what it takes to work as a freelance makeup artist for Aveda.  I'm happy to report that I was chosen as one of four advisors for this area.  I'm so excited!  I'm sure you know how much I LOVE makeup so this is a great new opportunity for me to use my expertise to help others and allows me to gain experience to develop new skills.  As an AFA I can travel around to other Aveda salons to offer assistance for events. Yeah for me!  I had my first training yesterday and we were able to practice trend makeup on each other.   It was great to try something new. I can't wait for my first call. 

Then today I spend the first part of my day at the Big Business and Technology Expo at UVU.  I think this happens semi-annually and is filled with businesses either networking or advertising new business.  There are some great activities and food to enjoy.  We also have a booth set up there so come on by and enjoy a paraffin dip or a chair massage.
