punkins.

I asbolutely love love love Halloween. It is one of my favorite holidays...right up there with Thanksgiving, 4th of July, and of course, Christmas. So basically, I love all the holidays. :)

Some things that get me super pumped about Halloween are costumes and pumpkin carving. Today, I shall focus on the pumpkin carving. 

Willy and I went to a quaint little pumpkin patch down the road from my house at a little church situation. There were tons of pumpkins in all shapes and sizes, and it was tough to make a choice. However, we eventually found our dream pumpkins...and of course as we were paying I had to throw in an extra dollar to snag this little guy...

He is just so precious...

At first I was struggling with what to carve on my pumpkin...Willy knew pretty quick what he wanted to do, and I am ashamed to admit I didn't come up with my idea as quickly as I should have. However, it came to me - Minnie Mouse. Sadly, there was no printer so we were forced to test our skills and relied on google to provide us with our images. From there, we sketched them onto some paper and went from there... 

And here is my little Minnie...

All lit up...with a bath and body works candle...

Willy is by far the most devout Seattle Supersonics fan in the world...this whole layout was pretty tricky - and he definitely was "too strong" for our cheap tools because by the end of the night they were all broken. 

Pumpkin carving is just so fun - despite the nasty pumpkin smell and all the slimey goop and seeds you have to dig out of the pumpkins... It is all soooo worth it when you turn out the lights and light up your pumpkins and see that they look this goooood babayyy...

Happy Halloween!

requests or whatever you call em.

I would like to meet baby Logan soon...please hurry and come. We are all so anxious....especially me.

If somebody could please bring me 63 more boxes of those chocolates from Tiff and Jay's wedding, I would really appreciate that.

Homework, please stop being so lame. You are so tedious and time consuming and I just don't want to spend time with you anymore.

Apartment - please find yourself. I do not want to go hunting for you one single bit.

Also, house - please pack yourself.

Mother nature, please cool this stupid state down and let summer end and fall begin. I am sick of sweating all the time.

Groceries, go buy yourself.

Alright, that is enough for now.

Toodles.

duty, call of.

I discovered a new passion of mine -Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

Okay, I don't really enjoy playing Call of Duty...but I like to watch it being played. And more importantly, I enjoy wearing the headphones while Willy plays.

Why do I enjoy wearing those uncomfortable little headphones?! 


Let me tell you...
 - People get so incredibly angry when they get killed or lose. Call me crazy, but I think people shouting obscenities and ridiculous things is hilarious.
 - Willy is really good at it, so they all think they are getting beat by me - a girl.
 - For some reason, they think I am the hottest thing since Pam Anderson because I am supposedly really really bomb at this ridiculous video game.
 - A little too often than I expected, we came across what I liked to call a "Justin Beiber" player. This entails a boy probably about the age of 12 that thinks he is the sexiest and best thing that ever happened to the world. Those little guys say things they should not be saying at that young age...and they are a little bit mean and hurtful.
 - One guy started calling me "sweetheart" and "baby cakes".
 - That same guy proceeded to ask me if I had a phone..then asked for my number...so he could send me a picture of himself. ....don't worry! I didn't give it to him...sheesh. 
 - By the end of the night, Willy had about 8 friend requests and 2 messages from other Call of Duty player boys.

And the number one reason...
- Part of the magic of those headphones is they also have a little microphone...which means I can talk to them as well. And ya, maybe some of that talking included telling them how much they suck when they lost and how they were big babies because they were getting beat by a girl. And ya, maybe my words got them a little riled up and made things that much more entertaining for me...it is what it is! :)


***Disclaimer - Call of Duty is not for the sensitive or easily hurt person. Call of Duty players may have extremely foul mouths and say ridiculous things. Only play Call of Duty Live via XBOX if you can handle such treatment. 

i am happy.

I met with my advisor today - I am right on track to graduate in December.


I was in San Diego a couple weeks ago.


The color of the nail polish on my hands right now is purple. 

Christina and Blythe were in Arizona last week.


I work with one of my best friends...Kristin Breinholt...so its guaranteed I see her at least twice a week.


I went to Bahama Bucks tonight...and there was no sugar, calories or carbs in my yummy treat. 


Yogurtland currently has a blood orange tart flavor right now...to die for.

update.

Well, I just wanted to let you guys know what has been going on lately. I dropped my phone the other day - got an even bigger crack across the screen than the first big drop. Then a few days later I dropped it again. Then a few hours later it just stopped working. It was pathetic that I was having withdrawals from my phone. I just got my new one in the mail this evening. 50 bucks later and the insurance company sends me a new one...I lasted a whole 60 or so hours without my phone. Then I go to plug in my replacement phone...what do ya know! It wont even charge. So much for that... I am still somewhat phone less. 


Did I tell you my car window doesn't roll up or down? Thats been going on for a while now - but I wasn't sure if you knew. My dad taped it up for me so now I don't randomly have to attempt to wedge it into place with my palms while driving down the freeway. Oh and my radio stopped working. It actually doesn't even turn on. While driving around town I am just left with my thoughts...which aren't always the best things to be left alone with... but we get by alright. 


I had a dream I had the ability to control spirits and stuff. I could make people morph into animals. It was pretty intense...and kind of scary. 


I was doing my friends a favor and climbing up on the freezer at the grocery store to check out the flavors on the top shelf...and then they shoved me in and closed the door behind me. Yes, I was inside the freezer in the ice cream aisle...jealous?


Julie's birthday was today. We went to dinner the day before. I drove to three different Dairy Queens to find the right size birthday cake then took it to the restaurant so they could put it in their freezer and it would be a complete surprise when they busted it out with candles after dinner. I go home to get ready for dinner and Julie walks in and shouts "Sara, look what I got!!" ....she bought herself a birthday cake. Cool. Way to ruin the surprise and my life. 


My cousin tried to steal my ipod. I thought it was safe when I left it at my uncles...two weeks later I go to retrieve it before our road trip to cal only to find that it had been stolen, the music replaced, then it was un stolen, and the music was wiped and returned to me de-musiced and de-cased. Standard. 


I spilled an entire bag of reeses pieces in my purse...it wasn't the worst part of my week, but it also wasn't my best. 


Thats enough for now...I don't want you to start feeling bad for me or something ridiculous like that...

the lovely bride to be.

This weekend was Tiffani's bachelorette party! Wow, has the time really come?! I definitely know that Tiff did not expect these past two years to fly by so incredibly quickly, but there did. Justin is coming home in three days and it is time for these high school sweethearts to finally get married! Ashley hosted such a fun bachelorette party and we had a delicious dinner at Sushi Roku! Lets just say a lot went down at this fancy little restaurant...

First off, Tiff was looking like a smokin hot bride to be and her maid of honor Ash Mash was looking prettyyyyyy sassy as well!

Mrs. Katie Nelson ordered some pretttyyy fancy potstickers - look at that little basket!

Tiff was so impressive with her courage in completing so many of the dares her lovely friends made her do!!!

This guy was just great....happily married man and a happy happy happy bride to be!!

There was also that time when we turned around and found Kelly sitting at the bar all by herself....we quickly found that she was just getting herself a sugar free red bull!! Duh!!

Our pimped out ride around town...haha 

Leather and Lace Ladies

Overall, I am pretty excited for my Tiffbiff02...only 13 more days until her and Jayshady09 are sealed for all time and eternity in the San Diego Temple!!!!

Craigslist

Craigslist is a place millions of people turn for all sorts of things - sofas, tvs, bikes, jobs, nannys, the whole sha-bang. It is a world full of personal ads and...creepy stuff. I recently thought I may need to find a second job...so I, like many others, turned to craigslist. I went to the jobs sections, found some positions that I felt I was highly qualified to fill, and sent a brief email with my resume attached. Let it be known that each position I applied for was for an office assistant or administrative assistant. Shortly after sending out my resumes, I received a few emails back.... lets just say these did not seem like the most promising jobs. I received 3 emails back, but since they are so long, I will just share some highlights that the lovely Katie Nelson found the most amusing - mind you, these are  direct quotations from an email...

1.       “various independent projects”

2.       “It has affected me in a way”

3.       “being hired on a personal level”

4.       “see how well we fit in”

5.       “official packages” (eek…drugs?)

6.       “making regular contacts and drop-offs on my behalf”

7.       “instructions and following them”

8.       “I may come at you impromptu sometimes”

9.       “irregular timings”

In addition to this email, I received yet another that provided a company name - FCP Group Ltd. Go ahead guys...google that company. Or you know what, I'll do it for you...

http://www.ivetriedthat.com/2010/03/23/fake-check-scam-fcp-group/

This link basically tells you that this is a scam. It then proceeds to provide a copy of the exact email that was sent to me, warning individuals to stay clear of this fake company.

Standard procedure really. I would try to find a job on craiglist like millions of other individuals and what do I get in return? Just a bunch of freaky scams! Meh...oh well. Luckily I am completely happy with my current job and just don't even need a second one anymore!
