So yesterday I went to my craft class that I have been attending once a month. I made a wooden ladder and then every month we go to make new cute wooden things to hang on said ladder. This month we made a really cute frog the top says JUMP then there is a cute frog and the bottom says in, to our pad. So I got my frog on my ladder hanging outside my door. Looking at my super cute ladder I realized two things. The more things I get the more I realize that I am waaaay past the apartment stage of my life. Like there is no way if you had an apartment you could have a cute ladder by your door, it would get stolen!!! I am also past the apartment stage cause I have just so many things like I have a trampoline!!! Second thing I realized is that people are really just hopping into MY pad there is no OUR they are just hopping into MY pad. Hopefully that will change at some point though. I know that when people are hopping into OUR pad... OUR pad wont be an apartment cause I am bursting out of of MY apartment right now.
As for the rest of the day in the evening I had some people over to roast stuff in my little fire pit. The DeFriez family and the Thurgood family and my friend Katie came over we roasted hot dogs, and marshmallows we put the marshmallows in the middle of oreos and made smoreos they were really good. Becky DeFriez, Katie and I made egg in an orange. I got the idea off the internet you hollow out an orange and then crack an egg into it and then wrap it in foil and put it in the fire. Myself and Becky's eggs came out sooo gross that they were just unedible... Katies you could at least try and eat... I always say that when you are creative and you have lots of ideas some turn out GREAT and some like egg in an orange turn out ... not so great... after everyone left, Katie and I were sitting inside and the wind started blowing really hard and we went outside and my yard furniture was everywhere the fire was really high in the firepit... it had been almost out. So Katie and I gathered up all the lawn furniture and put the fire out . We are glad that we went outside Katie said that if we had not there would have been a headline in the paper that said LEWISTON ABLAZE!!!!

field trip

So I have been volenteering at a thrift store in Smithfield,Utah. It is called Sombody's Attic Too.
So this guy comes in three weeks ago and he had this think that goes on the front of the hood of a truck, to deflect bugs. This thing was full of dead bugs and he said "yeah I got this out of a dumpster, and was wondering if you all wanted it here" I said well I am just a volenteer here, you will have to take it back and talk to the ladies that actually work here.I say this to all the customers that come in and ask about donations. So this guy got soooo mad, he said "oh so you can't even look at me or talk to me!!??" I said "well IDK what they choose to take or not take you will need to ask them" He walked off in a huff... Tanna told him that we would take it ...even though we just put it in the DI donation bin. So then he came up and said to me, "well I need a reciept for tax purposes or are you to good to even talk to me and do that for me..." I thought no I deal with people like this all week at Qwest, over the phone I am for sure not dealing with this right now in person.... So I walked away and went to get Tanna and said Sorry I can just not wait on that man... She went up and told him that he was not to talk to the volenteers that way and that if he was going to be rude he did not even need to come into our store. So this man took off his hat and aplogized to me. I thought well that was nice and that is the end of the story....

Then last week he comes in and is like can you help me be a Halloween costume? I said what would you like to be? He said well he would rather not disclose that....??? I said well OK .... let me know if you need any help...like dude if you can't tell me then I can't help you....

Then this week he comes in and is like so have you found anything for my Halloween costume yet? I was like well what are you going to be? He said he was not ready to tell me and asked what I was going to be, I said I am going to be Maid Marian, He said are you going to wear a wig, I said yes... he said Oh you don't need to you got a pageboy. I said well um I am going to be Maid Marian and she had long hair. He said so when are you going to start hanging up long sleeve dresses. I said I am not sure. He said he thought I would say that since I basically know nothing.
He then said, so can I ask you a question? I said sure... He said how about if you and I go out and get drinks sometime... I said well, I am LDS... (and he is also like SIXTY!!) I mean did he REALLY think he was good-looking or rich enough to pick up someone THIRTY YEARS younger than him????) So ANYWAY he said that he would look over the fact that I was LDS... I hesitated and lied and said well... I am involved with someone.... Kathy says it is not really a lie, I mean I am involved with tons of people.... He said that was fine and that him and I would just keep in touch.... I have no idea how since he does not even know my name...

So after he left... another guy came in that has got to be like fourty-five. He told me once he went to HS at the same time as me.... I HAVE NO IDEA what he is talking about, cause he looks WAY to old to have even been a sr. when I was a freshman... Like dude, maybe you were a teacher when I was in HS.... So two weeks ago when he came in Tanna told him I was single... I know she meant well but I am NOT interested... So now this guy just comes in pretends to shop and stares at me....

Then this other lady Dee came in. Dee is very large. She came in one time and fixed me up with a guy named Dusty. I actually went out with Dusty once.... we will just leave it at that. So Dee was telling me a bunch of junk about Dusty.... and talking to me forever...Dee stays in there forever and buys tons of stuff... she is a very good thrift store shoppper. She can find almost anything in there... So Dee is talking to me for so long and then she said, that her and I are going to need to hang out soon and go and get some drinks???!!! I was like oh well I am active in the church she said that is OK we can still chill.... I just don't know what to say....

So after working ALL DAY at Somebodys attic with NO AC.... Katie and I were sooo hot!!! We went to the Sonic in Logan and got lime rickeys. This was my first lime ricky, I always get the same thing at Sonic a stawberry slush.... So Katie convinced me to try a lime ricky... I am so glad I did they are very good and I definitaly reccomment them to people! in fact I might go get one today! It was so nice and cool after our HOT DAY!!!

So Katie and I went to the Cache County Fair. we walked around and looked at all the animals. We saw the pigs and the goats and and the sheep the rabbits and the ducks, and the HUGE ROOSTERS!!!! I just could not believe the size of the roosters. I know that whenI have kids I really really want them to raise animals.....maybe not big roosters though those are scary!!! they were like as big as Foghorn Leghorn!!!

We then went and walked around all the booths and checked out all that the fair had to offer. I got a shirt that says Cache Valley Fair and Rodeo 2008 Tough enough to wear pink... I was not tough enough to find that shirt to wear it today though...:( Maybe I left it in Katie's car.

We almost got henna tatoo's but the line was to long:(

Katie bought some Obama posters. I said I would get one.... but well it would just be facing my backyard kind of silly. Katie also registered to vote!!! how cool is that??!! we should all be registered to vote and vote!!!

We then walked around through all the barns and looked at all the stuff that people had entered into the fair to win prizes. The kids had made some pretty amazing stuff. There was even a Salt Lake City Temple made out of KNEX. Someone I know later told me they thought it was a BIRDHOUSE???? and she is LDS, like no that was the SLC temple....

I also saw the COOLEST QUILT!!! it was all squares of sequins it was a tie quilt and the back was hot neon pink!!! It was made by a teenager.:)

Also there was a large amount of people that made skirts that were denim on the top and some sort of fabric on the bottom. I don't know when the last time I saw someone wearing one of those but they have a whole catagory for making them at the fair. I think they also have a stick horse catagory.... So Katie and I spent forever looking at the different things.

I have now decided that NEXT YEAR I WILL ENTER SOMETHING INTO THE CACHE COUNTY FAIR!!!! I am serious!!! I mean they had people that had just colored!!!?? or tied fleece quilts or grew large zucchinni...

Someone asked me, what will you enter, I said what wont I enter? I will enter as many things as they take. I will just take what ever I make through out the year there and be like will you accept this? welllll how about this???? Wish me luck that I will win at least one blue ribbon next year and maybe even go to the state fair!!!

I might even make a skirt that is denim on the top and fabric on the bottom!!! I mean heck they have a whole catagory for it!!!

After the fair we went to Cafe Sabor. Where we got some delicious spinach arichoke dip and churros with chocolate and caramel to dip them into... we pigged out...

After that we went home

We also took pictures of ourselves in a Cinderella Coach that we saw at the fair. They are posted on my myspace and facebook
