3-4 hours at As You Wish---but it was worth it!

My friend Heather and I met up on the 23rd to do pottery and go out to eat. We used to work together for a couple of years, but she has moved on to bigger and better things :) So, this is the first time we got to hang out since she left. It was so much fun! We both have a Hawaiian themed roomed at our houses (my guest room and her son's room...eventually), so we found cute Woody Trucks and surfboards. We had a blast painting them and I love our finished products. We also ate at Fatburger, and that was a tasty burger! I have never eaten there. Thanks Heather for the great Saturday afternoon! :)

Heather getting ready to work
I'm so nervous to start it!
Step One---the red! I love that it's glittery!
Heather's first step--the blue! (we decided to use this kind of paint because it was so fun and you don't have to wait for them to fire it---so we were able to take our trucks home that day)
Almost done!
My Finished truck! My camera died so I didn't get Heather's...but it was awesome too!

Apollo Group, Inc. Holiday Party

Julie, Peggy, Me, Heather and Grace












I have had a great December so far, and I need to post things that I have done, it'll probably take me a couple of days :) December 14, 2007--Holiday Christmas party for my work was held at a resort in Scottsdale. It was a Vegas theme, and we had a blast. We dressed up (as you can see I look exactly like how I went to Corey's wedding because I didn't have anything else), ate great food, played Bingo, placed a bet on Horse Racing, and enjoyed seeing my friends. Don't worry I didn't gamble, as it was all pretend money. Oh, and we didn't plan to almost all of us wear red either. It was a fun time...here are some pictures :)

Fancy food included: fancy butter, fancy lobster tail and chicken, fancy deserts (not shown) all so fancy for me! :)

5. Do you like eggnog? No way! Grandpa Hall when he was alive always made me take a sip of it and I hated it! Yucky!

6. Favorite gift received as a child? I had so many! From the trampoline, to a bike, skateboard, clothes, dolls, barbies, quilts, too many to name!

7. Do you have a nativity scene? Yup! I love them!

18. Travel for Christmas or stay home? This year we are planning on going to Vegas to visit Corey’s family

24. Favorite Christmas Tradition? First it starts on Thanksgiving weekend. We paint a new decoration; day after we put everything up (has to be up before my birthday). Then we take goodies around to all the people we visit teach, and then open presents on Christmas morning and have a great dinner with the family.
