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!!!

The Writings on the Wall
I have always found it really fascinating and a bit odd that people feel the need to share personal secrets or events on the walls of the stalls in the bathroom. I mean really? Do I really want or need to know the Kelly is a *#&%@ or that Michelle was here?? No, I really do not. As nice as Michelle may be, I don't care that she had been in that same exact stall...I'm sure thousands of others have been there as well!!!
Well, I was at school today and happened to walk into a stall where someone had written their short term goals on the wall. Don't get me wrong, I was very entertained while using the facilities. I learned that somewhere on the CSUF campus there is a girl who would like to lose 10lbs, get rid of her "muffin top", and find a job. Great, I am so glad you shared that with me...now I'll able to get through the rest of my day!! There was also another little message and a response to that message. However, I will spare you the details as they are rather inappropriate and have really no purpose.
Come on people, are you really that bored?!?! Please spare us all the personal and intimate secrets of your life!!

Senioritis
Well, today marked the beginning of yet another semester and let's just say, this is gonna be one long semester. For those that have done the whole college thing, I'm sure you catch my drift? For those in the process or chose a different route, think back to last semester of Senior year of high school...SENIORITIS. I have self diagnosed myself with this disease and am officially mentally done with school. It is terrible. I have no desire to do anything, and the worst part, it that this is the single most important semester of my life!!! UGH! 16 weeks seems like an eternity at this point and only bad thoughts come to mind when I think about school so think I will stop this rant!!!!
On a happier note, I will be done after this semester and will try my luck in the career hunting department!! I am so looking forward to moving on and not having school run my life!!! It doesn't actually seem real...sometimes I still feel like a kid, not someone who is approaching the mid-20 range ready to emerge as a responsible adult in society. Anyway, I will make it through and am overall super excited to get this over with...

D-I-S-GUSTING!!
So for the last couple of nights my cats have been hanging out around the refrigerator, our shoes, and other such inspect type hiding places. We just assumed that there was a small spider or something and that they would eventually kill it, as that is what cats do! Well, we were wrong. Last night one of my cats was sitting by our front door meowing constantly. My mother walked over and there, in the crevice of the wall and the floor was none other than a baby scorpion. Um, disgusting!!! I knew we got them here in Chino Hills, but I have never actually seen one before. For those that might be curious I took a picture of it right before we flushed it!!!
