2. Xage medical spa, here in Springville has full set eyelashes extensions for $99 through December. For those of you who had/has those on know that it is a still deal.

There is a place....

OK....I just watched this show about what is considered beautiful in other countries, get this...in South-West Africa-Mauritania if you want to be desirable by men you must:

1. Be FAT, very FAT

2. Have THICK ANKLES

3. STRETCH MARKS. It is signs of beauty marks

4. DIVORCED. The more divorces you had the more attractive you are. It tells men that you must be very desirable for other men to marry you over and over again.

And get this... yes, women are expected to be fat, BUT men are expected to be thin.

Wholly cow!!!!!

So, if you ever run into someone who is fat, has thick ankles, stretch marks, and divorced...there is a place for such a girl...Mauritania...a place where she will be desirable by all men.

"Stop and smell the roses"

As I was preparing lesson for my YW class, I have come across this talk by President Monson.
It has moved me to tears as I have read and felt how much I can use his counsel. Here is the sample of his talk....and the pictures of some of my messes in life for which I am SO grateful (though at times I was far from a gratitude) President Monson talk inspired me just not to worry so much.
"Many years ago, Arthur Gordon wrote in a national magazine, and I quote:
“When I was around thirteen and my brother ten, Father had promised to take us to the circus. But at lunchtime there was a phone call; some urgent business required his attention downtown. We braced ourselves for disappointment. Then we heard him say [into the phone], ‘No, I won’t be down. It’ll have to wait.’
“When he came back to the table, Mother smiled. ‘The circus keeps coming back, you know,’ [she said.]
“‘I know,’ said Father. ‘But childhood doesn’t.’”
If you have children who are grown and gone, in all likelihood you have occasionally felt pangs of loss and the recognition that you didn’t appreciate that time of life as much as you should have. Of course, there is no going back, but only forward. Rather than dwelling on the past, we should make the most of today, of the here and now, doing all we can to provide pleasant memories for the future.
If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will—to your surprise—miss them profoundly."

Of course, this are so few of them that I will treasure, and so many that will only remain in my memory ( like the day after I finished painting my whole house, and two of my kids decided it was fun to draw pictures on the walls. Or the day I have found Rylee on the top of the counter top dumping EVERYTHING on Drew who was amazed by how much fun sugar, flower, rice, pasta, salt, etc, etc, etc, can be, when it showers you. (oh, how I wish I took pictures of that mess. I was so mad, I had to go to my room and call Troy, so he can calm me down). Or the day when Drew had new church clothes and 10 min. before we were going to go to church, he walked from a back yard sooooo happy, because he was wrestling dog....and yes, his clothes were far from looking new or wearable for church) I'm sure I can come up with so many, and the truth is...looking back I smile, and I love those memories. So why do I get so worked up when it happens?

I saw it!!

Oh, it was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo goooooooooooooooooooooooooooood!!!!!
SO go and see it. Though, I did think, that if you haven't read the books, you probably wont enjoy or get the characters as much as you will if you have read the books. It was almost like you could "read between the lines" or I should say "see between the shots".
On the side of a 35 year old, I thought, I died and went back in Junior/high school as I walked at 12 am in the middle of 13 showing rooms (all showing Twilight) theater. I don't think i have ever been around that many teenagers at once.( well, girls camp) It was quite entertaining in its own.

Tonight!!!!! I can hardly wait!!!

Here it is...

Wholesale fabric

Hey everyone,

As some of you may know I have recently started sew....and at this time looking into buying fabric at wholesale prices....the problem I'm running into is that wholesale places make you buy six bolts with your first order (15 yards are one bolt at $4.50/yrd) I know I can sell it at great price and make money just at that, but it is still the upfront cost that is a stumbling block for me.

Soooooo, I was thinking...I know many of you do sew and pay retail, what if several of us get together, decide on the colors and brands of the fabric, and share it. I will have to get tax ID# to buy it, which is not a problem.

Anyway, I just want to put it out there and see if any of you may be interested and if so please let me know how much yards you will be interested in purchasing, so I can kind of see if this will work.

Here are link to one of the wholesale dealer, so you can see some of the fabrics.

PLEEEAAASE !!!! IDEAS ARE WELCOME!!!

Halo's Birthday

I can't believe it's been almost a year sense Troy have brought Halo home on Christmas morning. What a joy that was!!! (though, I wasn't very joyful until he got potty trained)

His Birthday was on November 3rd and....call us crazy, but we had a little birthday party for him.

Cake: canned dog food (we never buy it, it gives him horrible gas, but boy does he loves it) and bacon bits(dog kind) . We had blue candle on the midle and were trying very hard to have him blow it out, after we all have song Happy Birthday to Halo....

Present: a walk in the park, and chewing, cleaning teeth thing (whatever it's called)

Guessed: our neighbors: Dan and Kellie, proud owners of their 4 legged son, Max.

Max and Halo have been friends from the time they have been 8 weeks or so....Good Budd's!!!

Anyway, here some pictures. (I couldn't find them, I think they are on Troy's cell. I will have to post them tonight)

Hailey's First Snow Ball Dance

So, I felt like I have totally missed out on part of her big events of life.....not fair....I wish I was there to see it all.

I am proud though, to see that she is the only one who is not wearing sleeveless dress....

Way to go Hailey!!!

P.S. You look really pretty!
