New Guilty Pleasure

What is my new guilty pleasure you ask? Well, don't judge me, it the TV series The O.C.. I know, but I started season 1 on Sunday with Jared and our friends Bryce and Nicole and now I'm addicted! I've only watched the first 2 discs of the 1st season (Ive seen a couple of the newer ones however) and have 5 more to go but honestly I'm looking forward to it. So I'll keep you updated as I get further into it and let you know whats going on, who's dating who, and who's secretly dating who.. ooo the mystery, the deception...

So it's 1:30 in the morning and I’m sitting here eating an root beer float, because hey why not, and trying to figure out what my new post should be.. Note to self, you shouldn't use warm root beer in an root beer float because it will melt the ice cream. Anyways where was I? Oh right, so I’m not sure what this post should be about so it is probably going to be one of the most random posts you've ever read. I partially blame jessifer19 because she is suppose to be assigning me topics if she sees I’ve gone a little bit with out a new post, but I still love her :). So can anyone else believe it is February already or should I say Valentines day, oooo. Where the heck did January go? I realized that I never really posted anything about New Years Eve, which is a holiday I don’t really get excited for anymore but I have to admit that this New Years was extremely better than last year and a lot more fun. First off we went to a party at John Maxims house where there were so many people you could barley move. And if you thought it was hard just to walk through the house it became impossible to move on the dance floor. In fact there were so many people in there the floor broke! I’m not even lying. Despite all the people though it was a fun party. Afterwards a group of us headed over to Hilda's house and hung out until all hours of the night, which was a lot of fun. Here are some pictures from Hilda on New Years:

Ok so those are some of the pictures from New Years. I was so freaking tired by the end of the night though> I must be getting old, you know I am in my 25th year and a girl work told me that your 25th year is the down slope, thanks Erin.. So lets talk about February now.. I have some picture form work this week, but I took them from my camera phone so they are a little smaller. but I’m going to have to explain them. The first one happed yesterday.. I was walking down the stairs and I tripped on the stairs ( I know surprise) and the freaking heel on my favorite brown heels broke off. It didnt just crack it it broke it off , O F F, broke off.

Ok so every once in awhile we get a little bored at work, well I guess not bored we need a break and this is how we take it...All of us in the Draw Dept. had ourselves tattooed with the "paid from interest reserve" stamp. I didn’t even know I had interest reserve, I’m not even sure who bought me.. As for the Lizard, I guess our little friend the lizard is suicidal. Poor little guy he must be stressed. Jared offered to take the little guy to lunch to help him out a little. Hopefully he does better

Side note. at the first I say that I was writing this at 1:30 in the morning but the post date might say 8:30 or something. Well about that I did start this post last night but I was having a little trouble with the pictures going where I wanted them to, pretty much me and my computer was fighting so I got frustrated and fell asleep because it was 3 in the morning.

Honest Mistake..???..

So today for lunch I decided I wanted a little Chili’s and you know since I get so busy at work, and being the responsible employee I am, I decided to order take out. So I ordered my take out and they told me it would be 10 to 15 minutes. So when the time had passed I got in my car and headed to Chili’s.. So I walk in and tell the girl I had ordered some take out and she asks me “Do you need a menu?” and I’m thinking to myself, hello I just told you I ordered some take out, little did I know…. So I said “No I already ordered it” she replies “Is it the oriental chicken wrap” and I say “No, it’s the kids meal chicken crispers” and so this girl looks at me really weird like I’m some kind of idiot and replies “Umm we don’t have chicken crispers here but Chili’s does” and so in a confused tone I ask “Where am I?” then I look around and notice all the Applebee signs so the girl replies “Applebee’s…” (you dumb blonde, I’m sure is what she was thinking) So I’m extremely embarrassed and most of you that know me when I get embarrassed I don’t know what to say and I just make it worse. So I tell this girl “its been a long day” (the easiest excuse to not make me look like an idiot, but I’m sure it didn’t work) so I’m still extremely embarrassed and to make it even worse as I walk out the door I say “but you guys have good food also….” Seriously Kathleen, way to make yourself not look like a bigger idiot.. All in all though it was completely and totally hilarious. As soon as I got outside I started laughing at myself and promptly called my friend Rachel and told her, who also thought it was hilarious. And as soon as I got back to work I instant messaged Rhett and told him, who I’m sure got the biggest kick out of it (he actually told me that it was so funny I needed to write a blog about it..) In defense of myself though, it was a long morning and Chili’s and Applebee’s both have red signs, so I feel it was an honest mistake.. You know what, don’t judge me..





See same color...

Fun in the sun!

So for all of you who read my last blog "Aruba, Jamaica.." then you know that I have just recently gotten back from a cruise in the Bahamas, Grand Cayman, and Jamaica mon.. For those of you who didn't read it.. I just got back from a cruise to the Bahamas, Grand Cayman, and Jamaica mon.. :) I loved every minute of it! I got soft served ice cream cone at 3:00 in the morning, not because I was hungry but because I could. It was nice to have that kind of freedom.. Honestly I wish I was still on the cruise ship in 90 degree sunny, beautiful weather. *Sigh* Well I have a lot of pictures but I think I'll follow Jess' lead and do this really cool new slide show thingy. I'll try to post the pictures that Jess didn't. So if you want to see more than the ones I have (because believe me there are a ton more) then check out Jess' blog. There's a link to hers blog on my page just over to the right.. Hope all is well and 2008 will be great! Enjoy!

Aruba, Jamaica....

Aruba, Jamaica, ooo I want to take ya to Bermuda, Bahama.... So that's right Im in Ft. Lauderdale right now, oh it's about 80 degrees, that's right I don't have to wear a coat when I walk outside.. Why am I in Ft. Lauderdale you ask? Well that is an excellent question. Tomorrow 12-16 I will be boarding a Carnival cruise to the Bahamas, Grand Caymans, and Jamaica man.. So I wont be able to post a blog for week ( weird.. as if that's unusual ) Well I will be thinking of you all while Jess and I are basking in the sun on a tropical beach..

It's been awhile

So I know that I haven't been the best at keeping my bolg up but I promise I'm going to try and be better..



I think one of my problems is that I'm not very creative and I don't know what to write about. I was one of those people in English class that hated it when you had to write a paper and the professor would say "be creative and think of something to write about....." and as that was being said i would slump down into my seat and close my eyes and think "oh great, just give me a subject to write about" Maybe I thought I was just too busy to actually come up with something to write... Well I guess I can be creative when I put my mind to it, so maybe the above statement isn't entirely true.. Maybe I'm just trying to make excuses for myself about not keeping up on this little thing called my blog..



Oh the weather outside is frightful.... So last night it started snowing and it is still snowing! I love it! Where I live, our house is right on a hill so when it's snowing and the plows haven't come up the roads yet to clear them, its seems that it takes people at least two tries to get up our snowy slippery road so we like to turn the lights off (so people cant see us) and watch their efforts in trying to get up the road.. It's actually very entertaining.

Last night probably around 1:00 am in honor of the new snow Jessi had a great idea to get garbage bags and use them to slide down our treacherous road... So me, Jessi, Beau, Kyle, and Eric slid down our road on big huge black garbage bags, it seriously was a blast! Oh and I made my very first snow angel of the year in my front yard. I must say it was an exceptional snow angel.

well for know that's all because I want to go outside and play in the snow :)

All Hallows Eve

Well hello blogger world.. SO I know I haven't been very good at posting current and up to date blogs but I've made a vow to my very good friend Rachel that I will keep my blog current... So this is for you dawg! Ok so I have a lot of things to write about but I don't want this one blog entry to be a novel so I just write about....All Hallows Eve ( I bet the title gave that away..) So Ill be honest I'm not a huge fan of Halloween, I cant stand how there are like 5 different days of parties and trying to figure out a Halloween costume to impress your friends... It's just all too much for me sometimes.. But this Halloween was actually fun, even though I did end up going to 2 different parties... I'm going to share my Halloweenie ( as Jess would say) pictures with you.. Now there are a lot of them but I don't think most of you will mind, because if you are like me you love to look at pictures.. So here goes...




First off is the Halloween party I went to in Draper with Hilda. I wasn't going to go because I hadn't picked out a Halloween costume but Hilda, the great friend that she is, helped me think of a costume. Which was as you see on the left was a bunny costume. I know not very original but it worked out great and was a hit.

Hilda went with the very sexy Devil costume as you see on the right and boy did she make a great Devil

No but like I said it was a really fun party ( I was pleasantly surprised) a lot of our friends were there.. Speaking of that, the picture to the right is of me and my friend Rhett who happened to be at the party also.. Actually he had to wait for us off the freeway because we didn't think we'd be able to find the house it was at so he was kind enough to wait for us so we could follow him. Its a good thing he didn't because we would have totally got lost.. It was up in this ritzy neighborhood with gargantuan homes

Ok so actual ALL Hallows eve we went to a party at Hilda's mansion, that's right mansion.. but first I went to work that day and we were told we could dress up for Halloween if we decided to and I was quite surprised how many people dressed up. Me and the girls in my department decided we'd dress up as Contractors, and this is funny because we deal with Contractors all day long, we work in the Construction Draw Department. I think our Contractors got a kick out of it.. We were told that we were allowed to swear all day because that's what Contractors do and it must be true because Ken, my boss and a number of other people said so.. Here's some pictures

This is us in the Draw Dept. From left to Right; Me, Erin Pratt, Sarah Durbano, and of course Rachel Bingham ( Dont we totally look like Contractors!)










This me and Rachel.. Im going to have to give shout outs for my costume a big shout out to Rhett for the hat, thank you Rhett! And My dad for the tool belt.. Thank you!

This my boss Ken.. I like his mug.. Go Cougars! but the slippers are my favorite..

This is Chris Kellett whom I like to just call Kellett.. Ok now the next picture is my favorite

This is our Hommie G Dawg Clint.. And the picture speaks for it self.. Ha ha ha I love it!

Ok so thats all the work pictures I have.. I wish I had more because Im missing some of the key people.. Like Emily and Wendi



Ok now for the pictures of the crazy party at the Mansion house.. Get ready!


Ok so this is pre-party. I was actually excited about my costume this year (which Im usually not) I was a classy 20's flapper girl.. See all the feathers..

Heres Beau, Jess ( who is also a very good looking flapper girl) and Zach

Here are the 3 flapper girls.. Hilda, Kathleen, and Jess

Now I think this was a pretty inventive Halloween costume.. These boys are clouds!

I really like this picture, except it's Missing Hilda and Jess.. :(

This is what we call one lucky guy...

This is me and my good friend Lee.. Side note Jess says Im making a seductive look in this picture and I think I agree

This me Mathias, and Jim.. I love this picture of Jim!

Doesn't Shanna look great!

This is my sexy friend Dre and me

This is me and Billy Joe from Green Day! Ok maybe it's me and Rhett..

SO I have a ton more great Halloween pictures but I think you're probably tired of reading and Im tired of posting pictures.. But I hope that you all enjoyed my most recent blog and you were able to live vicariously through my Halloween pictures.. Until next time.. Happy belated Halloweenie!
