Random Facts

After spending 8 1/2 hours on sat with my group and another 6 hours on Sunday working on my project, I am done with presentation number one and can now begin to work on number two!! Yay me! Our group presentation did go well however, and I am hoping that my team is the winning team...only one team gets their proposal chosen...STRESS!!

2.) I had a pretty successful Scentsy party tonight and am ready to start selling it. The scent of the month smells so good, meaning my house smells amazing right now!!! I don't know what I'm thinking though. I don't have time for this right now, but need more money!!! Yay for new adventures.

3.) Halloween is coming up and I am seriously excited. Next to Christmas, Halloween is my favorite holiday!! I am going to Halloween Haunt in the next couple of weeks and am so looking forward to that!! Plus, I am also excited for fall....love the cooler weather!!

4.) I was invited..actually I asked for the invite, by my friend Heidi to be part of this monthly cooking club. I am happy about this because I love to cook and this will give me some good ideas. Yay for Heidi and her great idea!! Happy Cooking!!

Obsession

So I have a horrible and time consuming obsession. I am obsessed with the interent...and by that I mean email, facebook, and blogs. I am seriously sick....no really!! I probably check my email like 10-15 times per day, I have facebook open on my computer all the time when I am at work or home, and I am a blog stalker. I absolutely love checking peoples blogs to find out what is going on in their lives. I really need to get a new hobby...this is a sickness and I need serious help!!!

Scentsy


So I have decided to embark on a new adventure. I am going to become a Scentsy Consultant. For those that are unfamiliar with the product, it is sort of like a flameless candle. It is a warmer that melts wax. They smell wonderful and do not get very hot...meaning no fire threat. And, becasue they don't get hot....these things are safe around pets and kids..BONUS!! I love candles, but sometimes forget to blow them out...DANGEROUS!! With Scentsy you can leave them on all day. I am having a party in a couple of weeks and will be a consultant after that. Please let me know if you want to book a party or if you want to order anything. I am super excited to make a little extra money and enjoy myself while doing so.

Recent Happenings

Recently I....

have been so incredibly busy with school, that I have been losing much needed sleep at night. I am so tired and it is only the 4th week...seriously. I'm not sure how much of this I can take. I am in the most time consuming, confusing class this semester and it seriously consumes most of my life. For instance, yesterday was a real blast. I had work, then institute, and then it was off to meet with my group at 6:30 where we spent a lovely 3 hours discussing what we are going to do. Then, I got to drive 1/2 hour home, where I was finally able to eat dinner and begin that evening's homework. Bed finally became a reality at about 1:30am with a 6:30am wake up call that very same morning. I'm pretty sure, it is not beneficial for me to be eating at 10pm and getting an average of 5 hours of sleep per night, especially since I'm trying so desperately to shed some extra pounds!!

had the privilege of trying something I have never done before. I am the music chair in my ward and was asked to lead our singles ward choir for the Sat session of stake conference. Sigh. Even better, was the fact that I had never heard the song before. Though I was incredibly nervous, and stressed (there was a General Authority there), I managed to do a pretty good job. I got so many compliments and my choir did an amazing job...YAY!! Success!!

have taken on the challenge to lose weight. I have been trying to go to the gym regularly and have been making a somewhat unsuccessful attempt to eat better. It is sort of working. I have lost about 12 lbs so far, but have a long way to go if I want to fit into my dress by Oct. My mom has 30 years at Edison and they have a formal dinner event that I get to go to. Must lose more weight!!!
