My Haunted House

Finally finished my haunted house! Boy it was a hard one to make! :) I love it too! :)

Sad day

Well, my fun will be coming to an end shortly. Today we had a meeting at work and "CHANGE IS ALWAYS HAPPENING" was basically the theme. Well, we knew this day was coming, but I was hoping it wouldn't happen. Starting Nov. 30th, my benefit of telecommuting (working from home) will come to an end. I will have to drive to the office (30 miles or 50 minutes one way) to work every single day for the rest of my life at UOP. It's been so nice to be at home, save gas, time, and it's easy! I'm so sad! I now have to wake up at 4:00 every morning to leave by 5:00 to get to work at 6:00....good times! APRIL hurry up...so I can finish school and look for another job closer to home!

What a weekend!

This weekend I went to Safford to see my cousins! I had a great weekend. I drove there on Friday and went to my cousin's apartment. We then went to the county fair. It was fun! I saw some people that I knew from EA, and even saw someone from my past. It's crazy to run into this particular person, because if I had made different choices, my life would have been so much different. I was pondering that on the way home today. I wonder what I would be doing, where I would be if I had made a choice of staying with this person. I'm grateful for everything that I have done and have in my life, but it's funny to think about sometimes about what would happen if .... oh well...what's done is done! I know I probably would have never finished school at NAU, got a job, and made so many new friends. CRAZY! Blast from the past???

Ok, back to my fun weekend! So, at the fair we looked at the exhibits...ran into a bunch of my cousins! I love you FAUNCES! And then we watched Elvis perform! Ok, this Elvis was hilarious. He was coming up in the stands to all the ladies and caressing their cheeks and was even kissing some of them! I was laughing so hard, until he headed my way! OH MY! This Elvis was doing it to me! I was so embarrassed, and all of my cousins were cheering (he goes boy you have more fans than I do!). Oh man! Sorry, no good pics were taken!

Then we got up early and met for breakfast. We had some good laughs and good stories...then spent the rest of the day shopping! My cousin Amber helped her friend Kara pick up some awesome outfits for when she does student teaching...I'm going to have to hire Amber for me to do the same! Then we went back to her apartment, she made an awesome dinner and we played games with her friends.

I had a great weekend, and I miss Safford/Thatcher. It was so beautiful! Thank you Amber and your family for all you do for me!

My New Creations

Here are my new decorations. We usually make these for Christmas time, but have now branched out to other Holidays. My mom, dad and I have a tradition where we make a new decoration for the yard during Thanksgiving, but now we have been doing more. It's fun. My dad cuts them out of plywood, and we just paint away. These ones were fun to do...I love my Dracula one the best, but they are all so cute. I'm still working on a Haunted House one, and hopefully it'll get finished before Halloween! Then I'll post it later :) Maybe these will entice trick or treaters to come to my door! Out at my parent's house (in the boonies) we didn't get trick or treaters...so I'm hoping some stop by in my neighborhood!

CRASH! BANG! BOOM!

BANGING!!! SCRAPING !!! TREE CRASHING!!!
Now it's Broken! About 11:30 last night I heard a weird noise, well, I wasn't about to get up and go look....today, here is the evidence...palm tree down! Call 9-1-1! Jk Call dad! Come fix it! :)

This is another tree in my yard, however, these colors (a little yellow) is about all the fall colors we get in the Valley of the Sun

I'm a mad crazy woman!

Star in Your Own JibJab! It's Free!Saw this on many of my friend's pages and thought I'd try it! Sorry my face isn't so cute!

So much to do.......so little time!

WOW! Talk about stress! I have 5 classes left...and I want to quit! I need motivation! I'm sick of writing papers...dealing with learning teams....work....and just life in general! I'm stressed! What happens when I stress? I either spend money or I take it out on someone that doesn't deserve it! I constantly feel like I'm writing papers. I chose to go to school at UOP so I wouldn't have to write a thesis, but every class has a paper due every Monday!! Sometimes it's up to like 10 or 11 pages long! I should have just wrote a Thesis! YIKES!
Anyway, on that note! This was my little break from writing my papers this week. I'm taking two classes at a time, and usually we only take one at a time, so it's crazy right now....but I can do it!

I need some music on that will pump me up!
or I need to tell myself to....

GIT 'ER DONE!
