Knott's Scary Farm

So this past Friday, I was able to go to Knott's Scary Farm with a few friends and it was a blast! We got through every maze and had many opportunities to be scared! We also captured a few photos of our night.

We had only been inside the park for a few short minutes and Charise had already made a friend. How sweet is he??? I seriously love the rat hanging out his mouth!! No but really, he was scary when he popped into our picture unexpectedly.

I am not particularly fond of clowns and this one was no exception! The thing sat there and the creepy jack-in-the-box music played and then all of sudden it would spring out and play really creepy loud jack-in-the-box music....CREEPY!!

Overall, great night, except that is was really hot and humid...YUCK!! I am officially ready for Halloween!!

Calling In

I have, on several occasions, attempted to unsuccessfully call in to various radio stations when they offer promotional items such as concert tickets or lets say...... 4 tickets to the Halloween Horror Nights at Universal!!! This week, I have been and am still on a mission. I am actively trying to call and actually get through so I can be awarded my prize. Well folks, it is Wed night and I have been unsuccessful. However, my hope of winning has been ignited. On Mon I called in and it wasn't busy...I was caller 9....needed to be 20. Then on Tues, I called in to participate in the secret celebrity contest, which is separate from the caller 20 deal. I got through...YES....but did not win....SUCK!! Oh well....I was on the radio...live...awesome, right!?!? Well, I am still on a mission to win tickets so I called this morning and was caller 18...UGH!!! Well, there are a couple days left this week so wish me luck!!!

Warmer of the Month

Below is the warmer of the month. If you order this warmer in the month of October, you get 10% off. Also, the scent of the month is called Honey Pear Cider. It smells just as I would imagine fall would smell like....a little spicey and cidery!! Enjoy!!

Random Facts

1.) I am ready to graduate. 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!!!
