Sometimes i get stuck on a song. there's always just something about it that makes it so that no other song will do it for me. so i just listen to the same song over and over again! like today on the way home from Amanda's house, i was listening to a CD Jen made me and this one song came on and there was something about it that it just completed me. so i listened... and danced to it all the way home! even when there was a cop right by me, i didn't care, i kept dancing. some things are just too good to stop.

ok! so i just want to say my little happy moments today. happy moment #1 i was at target and there was this cute little Asian lady helping me find a black skirt (i found one happy moment #3) but right as i was leaving, she looked at me and said "you look like a hairdresser" i was so taken aback by that, because i am! so i didn't say so but asked what made her say that. she said that i just had the hairdressing air or something, that all hairdresser hair looks better then others. that made me happy, i gave her my card and we both thought that it was so cool that she knew!
k- happy moment number #2, i saw "Turkish Delight" today and i bought it! i've always wanted some since C.S. Lewis! and i like it!
Last one... Happy moment #4, my coworker Ruthie, a client named Maghon and i have been talking about his thing called "bump-it" it gives you a huge bump at the crown, we all indulged that we all secretly wanted to order it. (it's on a infomercial) so tonight, i don't know what got into me, i don't know maybe it was the Turkish delight, i don't know! but it's on it's way! yeh!
so those are my happy moments hope you all enjoined 'em!

so life has been coming at me kinda crazy like lately, ive got a lot to tell you all. i had a cocktail party with fake cocktails! it was amazing, but i don't have any pictures. All the pictures that i took were on my friend Patrick's camera. so if you want to see 'em check out his blog. i'm following it so you should be able to find it rather easily. but it was a huge success in my opinion! everyone got all fancy and i made cute little appetizers that i brought out on a gold platter while Patrick made all the drinks! he was the bartista. we had some people there till about 3:00 am-ish. and that translated to me not going to bed till about 5:00am. i wanted to die. but it was good.
ok on to this WONDER of a picture here, yes it is a napkin. and my mom. (hi mom!) this past Easter Sunday i thought that i needed to "improve" myself, so what did i do? i turned to the ever so trusty you tube and learned some cool ways to fold napkins!!! it was great! they looked so darn dainty! i set the table and had a lot of fun doing it! i think i really want to have a dinner party soon just so i can set a fancy table and really get into it! so look forward to one for those that live near me!
i made some cupcakes too, i thought that they were simple but cute and just right for Easter. with their little spring colors. Dinner all in all was more enjoyable then i thought it would be. Ann Marie and Joe were not there because Ann is out of town, but other then that it my family was all there, so it was a good one after all. i hope that everyone had a good Easter then.
i have a part two for the whole ticket thing that went down last October (yes, it's still going on) but i'm going to wait till the end of the week to write about it, so you guys can get the whole story! :o)
one last thing, Sarah my cuz, got me on face book the other day and said that she liked my blog, but i didn't know till after the matter! so i wanted to give a shout out to Sarah and say that i love you and i hope you are enjoying your job! thanks for the post card too!

so think there must be something about me that makes cops really nice to me. because besides that one jerk cop that pulled me over and wrote me a ticket the ONE time i wasn't doing anything wrong, i almost ALWAYS get out of tickets. for example, i have been pulled over twice since i last blogged about my last ticket. and they both did the same thing, ask me for my info, asked me how i was doing... then explain why i was pulled over... and how i really shouldn't do that... they ask how my "record" is... i always say, "oh! i think i might have a crash on it!" (accompanied with a very sweet "pout" face) then they say, "hold on... i'll be right back." this is the point that i, like most or all people call on the name of the most high God and ask that he would get me out of this even though i am clearly in the wrong. then they come back and are like, you your record is pretty clean, don't worry about it Miss, just drive carefully! have a good night.

and then they let me go... i don't get it, even the time that i rear ended someone RIGHT in FRONT of the cop station, he did the same thing, "don't worry about it Miss, just drive carefully!" man, i don't know what it is about me. my only theory (and only because it's so late and i sharing it) is that my eyes convey this sense of awesomeness that only cops are weaken to! they just can't be mean to me! a goodness flows from me for sure! :O) that's why it's funny that i only got a ticket the one time i wasn't doing anything wrong :o)

PS the cop that pulled me over tonight, was REALLY hot! i thought about "misbehaving" so that he'd have to hand cuff me and take me in for questioning! jejejeje i'd of liked that!

Perfect! so not last weekend, but the weekend before it i went to GEORGIA! with two of the most amazing people ever! Sarah and Jimmy. and let me tell we had a blast. the ride up we feasted on cheese and crackers, listened to Jimmy way sweet "state" mix. it had songs for ever state we went through. we stopped at a local dinner and had some yummy food. and let me tell you they had the best pecan pie i have ever had! so good! the first day was a lazy one, but i liked it that way because i got to relax and sleep my little heart out. But AJ and Kaylee (Sarah's brother and his wife) took us out to eat that night and there was live music. really just a guy with his guitar, but he had a leather cowboy hat on so that's gotta count for something, eh? the next day we all went to Atlanta and went to the Aquarium there, very nice, then ate picnic style in the parking lot, man, Kaylee made us some mean sandwiches! that night we went camping, where we enjoyed hot dogs and s'mores. the best part was that we had some guitars and OH Josiah Jimmy's friend met up with us for this part. anyways, we had some guitars and we Jimmy, Josiah and i made up a sweet song about our flashlight. it was so good and heavenly that the Angels above warned us never to play it for human hears for fear that they would know what the heavenly choir sounded like and then kill themselves to be able to hear it again, so... your welcome, i just saved you from killing yourself. so camping was super cool, although my sleeping bag was so thin that i ended up in the car! :o( poor me. where as Josiah's was so warm that he was worried that, an i quote "his balls would sweat off" i had no sympathy for him. Saturday we hiked Stone mountain, i was the slowest but i didn't really care! i had some good fun! we hung out there for a bit then we said good bye to AJ and Kaylee, and the four of us headed to Atlanta again. we went to the Coke-cola place. one word. AMAZING!!!! i loved it, they 3D show was so good! and we got to drink all the coke we could fit in our tummy's. we then ate at a place called "the golden Buddha" after that Josiah departed from our mist to return to Alabama, we headed for Tennessee where we spent the night with Jimmy's Uncle and Aunt! they were SO sweet i very much liked them. Sarah and i slept together, that meant that i had to fight for the blanket the whole night! it was funny! we went to church at a local ward, the first three talks where amazing little "southern" boys just saying it like it is! then the last was this old man that didn't... ever... stop... talking... i was already spent, and he kept talking about his LIFE STORY but i lived through it... bearly. later that day we broke the Sabbath by eating at the HOME, yes mam that's right, the home of Kentucky fried chicken! and it was just as nasty as it is here in Michigan! hahah! but it was fun, even though days later we were all still sick! it was a good way to end out our little trip! so here are a few pictures! i hope you enjoy 'em!

today when i got dressed i was in a good mood, and i wanted to wear color. so i wore my very bright robin blue jacket, my bright blue flower headband then all black with some fun patterned stockings that are about on par with fishnet stockings. i felt nice and festive, and i seemed to be putting smiles on peoples faces. Kim at the nail salon said it looked nice, Jake my boss, gave me a funny look, but he seemed to be amused. then later that day as i went to cash my check the male teller was "very" nice to me, he asked me what my plans where because they looked like fun, and though i was in a hurry we chatted a little longer than normal. this is when i thought to myself, "i must look really good today in blue!" i was going to Helena's birthday party so i was picking up the gift and i got the feeling that a lot of people were giving me "stares" not bad ones, but i could for sure feel it. then at dinner Helena had some friends and i was feeling like one of them might be interested, at least to get to know me! i mean who wouldn't want to get to know some one with a blue coat and flower in her hair. then one of the guys (not the new ones, that would have been nice!) asked me out. so i was feeling pretty hot! like i'm a hot ticket or something!

on my way home my mom called and asked if i could pick her up a diet coke, so i stop at this seven-eleven near my house. the only other person in the place was the clerk. he had to be about 65 plus. as i was checking out, he commented on how pretty my flower was, then asked how much it cost. i told him it was $8 he thought that that was too much, but then i pointed out the coat, he asked how much that one was, i said $4. he was impressed. then he asked "how many years you have?" i was taken off guard for a moment but responded 23, "do you have boyfriend?" (jerk!) umm.... no. (i really hate that question) "oh, you'll get one, you are young, you'll get one! but sometimes people don't. it just happens that way. but you'll get one." well i didn't really know what to say, but i tried to be polite. then he starts to tell me that in his country that there are no boyfriends or girlfriends, people get married at 14-15. but girls are ready for "it" at 13 (spacial emphasise on the it) and then he just lets the cat out of the bag, "i've gone 10 years without sex..."
WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT? really, if you guys have any good comebacks i'd like to know! i responded with, "oh, was your wife in India for that time?" "no, she is really bad to me. she no treat me good. you know single woman?" i was still at a loss, really now what could i have done? so i assured him that if i came across anyone i'd come back here and hook him up, **translation** i'm never coming into this store again, ever.
the thing is as i was relating this tale to my mother, i started to think, "i got a lot of male attention today..." then it hit me, the question that is now burning into my soul.
did i look like a prostitute today? i was modest, but come on? i really am starting to wonder..............

my moms thinks i should have said to him "well... i've gone 23 years with out sex, so beat that."
thanks mom.

i had a dream this morning that i was in a horrible rush, everyone was counting on me to be somewhere and do something and i was giving up a lot in order to do it. then i had to drive all the way to Ohio to do it and i was so stressed out. i had to borrow a van from an old friend and when i got the the place i needed to be i just parked it so that it was a little in the street, i wasn't worried because i wasn't planning on being there long. i did what i needed to do inside, it had something to do with missionaries and my mission president, i was talking to him and i was saying that i couldn't believe that it had been so long since i had been home. then he said that he couldn't believe that he had been home for so long either. (he's still serving) my sister Ann was there with her baby and a sister that i had served with on my mission. i ended up staying longer then i thought beforehand, i didn't feel bad about keeping to the van so long because i kept saying that i was going to buy it.

As i walked out to the van i had never felt so tired and warn out before in my whole life. and though i was beat, i was happy that i had done something good (what ever that was; because i don't remember) but as i walked up to my van i saw that the little door where you put the gas in was open. immediately i thought to myself that someone had siphoned my gas and i couldn't believe my horrible luck, that while i was doing something good something bad would happen to me! but when i got in the car i found a card that read, "no good deed goes unnoticed" then i saw all these baskets of fresh strawberries, Blueberries, cherry pies, homemade breads, and it just kept going, all from like a framers market. I've never seen food that looked to purely good. then it hit me that whoever saw that my car was parked crappy instead of judging me, figured i just needed a little extra help. when i turned on the car i saw that it had been filled to the brim with gas. i didn't see any clues as to who my benefactor was to i just drove away amazed that someone noticed me.

this is what i get from it, God notices us and has such good blessing in store, that will be better then we could ever think of. we've just got to be willing to keep doing our part even if that means we have to continue running on empty in a borrowed van.
