So many things so little time!

Dear Readers,

I am trying to squeeze a post in while Son is napping and my break from all my daily womanly work of watching TV and eating snacks................ So Busy Busy Busy weekend.

Friday: Can you believe we went "camping" we did after I said we were not. Made it just in time for dinner and the family "talent" show. No no no... there are some very very talented people in my husbands family and I am glad there are people that can sing. I was impressed. Did I mention it was COLD and my mouth hurt from the dental crap.... And guess what I packed the car all by myself... I WANT MY GOLD MEDAL NOW PLEASE....... uh huh I will not hold my breath.

Saturday: Still camping, went on a HIKE!! (don't laugh) with son and brother in law. Hub was TIRED and It was good but I do not enjoy hiking. You know we went to a LDS church camp for all this and guess what the bathrooms smelled like church! It cracked me up... You just can't get away from that LDS clean smell. Also we stayed in very nice cabins and it was just nice. It was pretty much camping in my back yard but nicer and hour away. I would do it again... I came home NOT smelling like camp... CRAZY.

Saturday night.... We need a few groceries SO I had to go because I am not tired....... uh huh. So I go get my wallet and keys out of the glove box because I put them there during the camping trip ... put them in my purse and I am OFF, get all my crap and stand in the worse line ever.. Behind the coupon "lady" and of course there was a problem and the manager needed to be called... OMG LAME... I have already put my crap on conveyer belt so I have committed myself to the line... So they finish and I go and get my wallet out to be ready so I won't take as long as crazy and its NOT in my purse... WTH ?!?! So I tell the girl and she is cool because I thought it was just in the car, WRONG.... so I think I must have left it in my car that I did not want to take because it was still full of camping crap.. So I go home and its not there HUB and I tore this place up!! We still could not find it.. So I call the local grocery store and GUESS WHAT?!?! Some nice person turned it in!! I am so lucky and grateful, but still can't figure out how my wallet got out of my purse... CRAZY!!! So I go back and my groceries are still there in the cart and all ready for me to pay THAT WAS AWESOME... I am glad they cared about me and took care of my grocery needs. =) GOOOO MACEY'S

Sunday: Did nothing but laundry. it was good to do nothing.

Monday: Mommy and Me swim class with Son, good times! Its all week for 30 mins so I hope it all goes well the rest of the week. Come back tomorrow when I have a special give away/promotion/date with me!!! You will not want to miss it!

I AM IN LOVE.

Dear inkObsessions,

I love you. I know I know I know we have only know each other for a few days but dang you do good work! And for some reason you have read my blog and commented a few times. CRAZY. It BAFFLES me that people I DON'T know read my blog and think its semi-funny. I was not popular in high school or in life.... But I have found a tiny cult following on here. I may have to move into a gated community with a 24/7 guard in the front. I will be paying with this will all the money Adsense has made me... Yes all $2.47. Back to the task at hand, I love your web site and blog LOVE IT. So much I am giving you a shout out, put up your button, and wrote a double blog for the day. CRAZY! I am thinking you should make my son some birthday invites but I only need 10 and we are having a dinosaur party and I did not see any of those on your page. I know you could do a NICE one, but I know you are busy and its not like I have 500 readers that are going to place an order to make it worth your while. But I LOVE you and you made me want to have another baby so I could order some of your birth announcements. I will by the way when #2 comes along in like 18 or 24 months from now..........................................................


I also felt that after I posted the site about babysteals.com that I excluded some of my readers because not everyone that reads has a baby but fear not!! inkObsessions will take care of you and it just so happens that there is a scrapbooks steals .com you know from the same people that steal babies... I guess they steal scrapbook supplies now too... What is this world coming to. HEHEH I am going to be 2nd grade for a min... I love that there is CRAP in sCRAPbooking... Because its how I feel about spending that much money on something. Yep buy all the sCRAPbook supplies then it still in my closet. LOVE IT.

XOXOXOX,
Leah

Arrrggghhh!

Man what a crazy last few days I have had. Well guess what, we are not going to the Family Reunion in the mountains. I feel like someone punched me in the mouth several times then punched me in the head some more. Ok if the Dentist wants you to come and get your teeth all pretty and healthy they should not make it hurt... Also they should not charge you an arm and a leg to beat you up and emotionally abuse you. And all I got done was a deep cleaning.... what ever that means I am still not sure, but my "friend" said I needed one and apparently I need one every three months... I honestly did not think my teeth were that bad, I still have all of them and they are a shade of white. I don't get it. There are some positive things about all this. I did get to try laughing gas for the first time! It was pretty great, why I have not done this before?!?!!? For $30 I will do it again every time even when my teeth are fine and I just need a cleaning. I guess I am a little high strung about the Dentist. Guess what I don't have wisdom teeth! I never have and they are not there. CRAZY??!?! YOU CAN BE JEALOUS NOW. Its so weird I feel like a freak of nature now... Also they did not give me a sticker or a prize =( To think of it this Dentist really is not a kid Dentist, I have not seen any there or a big station of stickers and prizes. Well that is ok with me I don't care. So No more Dentist Stories for a month!

Did you see that NEW button on the right side of my page?? The Baby Steals one?? Its a pretty awesome place and no they will not steal a baby for you. They just find some awesome expensive baby/children's items and sell them for 50 % off. I just scored some awesome baby socks to give as gifts I am pretty excited about this and can't wait to give them away to some lucky friend, because our friendship will be cemented forever because of these socks... I would post a pic hey I might... HOLD PLEASE. Never mind It did not like any of the pics i found on the internets...

So cute I know!! So check it out they have a new steal M-F and update it at 9 AM MST.. what I can't remember that... its ok you can sign up for a daily email.. ALSO if you live in the SLC area you can pick up your steal for free or pay a little bit of shipping and you can get it the next day. SO AWESOME.

Uh I did to much today.

Dear Wednesday,

Are you over yet?? I seriously can not stand you. After next week I will hate Thursday.... OK So why do I keep signing up Son for Little Gym?? Well for one he LOVES it and his teachers LOVE him. And I have not reached that point in my life where I have to tell him that I don't want take him to do things he LOVES for whatever reason. Yes it expensive, Yes its 20 mins from the house. Yes its early in the morning. But we go every week. I have thought about this for awhile and decided I LOVE Little Gym. Why?? a Few reason... 1: I don't have to talk to the parents, just the rare small talk about how cute the children are or to say sorry for whatever our child has done. 2: Nobody goes "OMG you pay how much!??!!?" Why because we all paid the same thing and we keep it to ourselves. That is nice because there is no explaining we just look at each others designer clothes/handbags. And 3: It gets Son's energy out because he is almost 2 and is pretty much crazy. So there you have just a bunch of stuck up bitches with their kids that don't want to talk to each other. Its really nice, there are no expectations. I do feel bad for new people that come and don't get it... but most of them do.

So I do the Little Gym on Wednesday then I do all my shopping errands up in Orem because they have way better shopping then SF... I go to the Sunflower Market so I can gluten free crap for Son and do whatever I need to do... Its nice but wears me out and most times I am gone for 3 hours and son takes a name on the ride home so that when we do get home he wakes up while I am getting him out of the car and he is up till his bed time. =( Oh well so is life and the messy house will still be there tomorrow.

Guess what tomorrow I am going to get tortured wait I mean go to the Dentist. So I may not blog... Hold yourselves... Then Friday we are going camping/family reunion in the mountains... GREAT in the mountains with people that sometimes you don't get along with... there are so many places to dump a body up there... WHO thought it was a good idea to do this?? NOT ME. I don't plan family crap anymore. So you may not see me till Monday.. GASP I hope you can stand it....

A dream trip

Dear Disney Cruise lines,

I would LOVE to take my family on one of your cruises. I really would don't laugh. But I am going to wait a few years till my kids are a little older. I only have one child now, but once my 2 kids are potty trained Hub and I will take them. So we have a few years to plan and save and maybe by then you will travel to Hawaii so I can kill two birds with one stone.

Why do I want to go on a Disney Cruise? Well its been a dream of mine to go on one for awhile now, isn't it everybody's???? Here are some of my reason:

1. A family trip where I can pawn off the children on someone else for awhile with out feeling guilty . I won't feel this because they will WANT to go swimming and making things with Mickey and whoever is popular then.

2. It really is not a bad deal 4 night cruise with a Disney theme is about $1400 depending on where you go and what room you get. To me that is a deal if I don't have to stand in line with the sun beating down on me waiting to go on some ride I really don't want to go on. And honestly we would probably spend that driving down, hotel, tickets, food, and so on... Maybe I will have enough Skymiles by then that I can get some free air plane tickets.

3. If you did go to Disneyland or World could you see a Adult Burlesque show with your spouse? Or play a round of Trivia at a Pub while your kids are "asleep"?? Could you eat all you wanted to at one of those amazing buffets I hear everyone talk about after they get home. These are things you could not do. Heck can you even eat at Disney for 4 days with a family of 4 for less then $1400??? I have never been so these are questions I need answers to.

4. I want to go on a cruise. And if its a cruise to Hawaii, all the better. I will get two things crossed off my "bucket list"

Those are the reasons I want to go, I need to go.... Right now they only go the Bahamas', Caribbean, and Europe. Who the crap wants to go on a European Disney Cruise... sounds BLAH. Well not really, I do think it would be fun but like when I am OLD, not on a Disney cruise line, and don't have kids with me going what the crap is this??? This is the worse trip ever.. So when they do go to Hawaii I AM THERE WITH BELLS ON. I will put it on the AMEX and tell hubs later.

I do have to say some of the adult activities sounds so funny and yet I would probably go to them... I was looking on their web site and you can sign up to for the Zone diet and detox work out seminar while you are on the cruise... WHAT THE HELL.... who does that on a VACATION. WHY?!?!?! NO WAY. I will not do that.. Yes I may work out a day or two. Yes I will go swimming. Yes I will see the Disney Nudie show. Yes I will eat my weight in food, and I will have a good time. I can't wait. I know its such a long ways away but when you are dropping this kinda money on a trip you plan for years. Well I do. Any thoughts on my future vacation that is probably 5 years away??

Life Letters...

Dear People:

Some thoughts on life.... Just some random tidbits of juicy knowledge to make you laugh and think.

1. Did you know that Pineapples do not grow on trees??? FOR REAL... Its kinda sad that I did not know this until my 27th year of life.. I felt kinda dumb. This all came up because I play those farm games on the Facebook and you can plant pineapple in the ground. I had to have a chuckle because I thought I was smarter then the developers of these games.. So I said something to Hub and made it my status on Facebook... This led into to Hub and I talking about this and neither one of us really knew so we took it to Wikipedia. They grow on this bush like thing.. Kinda weird I know. I have to give props to Wikipedia, I really do wonder how many marriages they have saved or broken up... I know I use it to solve useless marriage tiffs.

2. Did you know that I pay this kid and his family to pick up dog poo-poo in my back yard? I do.. And I think its worth $3 every time they come. I hate dog poo with a passion and I am grateful for them. I was a little weary of them at first because I did find them on the KSL classified ads and then when they showed up, Their dad made them do all the work. I just kept think WTH I would hate my dad if he made me do this... But then I let it go because they are not my family and if they really really really hated it they would charge me more. If you or someone you know have problems with poop let me know, I know some people.

3. Did you know that I think people that yell at fast food workers are seriously the stupidest people on the earth... Really are you going to stand there an yell at someone you don't know that is preparing food that is going into yours and your families mouth. Lets break it down... These people make $8 an hour doing a crappy job, are they going to think twice about not spiting in your food or putting a boggie on it... HMMMMM OR picking it up off the floor and serving it to your son... Maybe you like spit and fecal matter in your food... I know I don't so I am super nice to these people. I use to work fast food in my younger days. I worked at Subway in Alabama, I would not eat at that location today It was pretty gross and I did not care because I was in High School making $5.25 an hour I was a BIG Baller

4. Did you know I worked at Chick-fil-a in Sandy and people did not yell at us there because we were AWESOME... You have a problem with your chicken sandwich NO PROBLEM let us give you another one and a coupon for a FREE sandwich... I am pretty sure that if Chick-fil-A ran the world there would be no problems. They have the best answer for everything. I learned so much from that job and made some good friends. So much so that I would probably go back and work there If I needed a job. I did quit that job because I did get burned out of cleaning up after the Sandy/Draper elite and their 2 kids... I would like to mention Chick-fil-A's coupon policy because you know I have a coupon hang up. They take as many coupons per transaction that you have, and they don't care if they are expired or from another place. It did have to be a chicken sandwich coupon and you did have to fulfill the coupon requirements like buy a coke or another sandwich...

5. Did you know that I am still in LOVE with Chick-fil-a and am proud to say I worked there. I bet you did not know that I get a little teary eyed when I see them in the news... I do. Really how many food places have 500 people lined up for a grand opening of a store??? Maybe In and Out Burger.. But Chick-fil-A cares about YOU.. Not your money.. One of the things they teach was make a costumer not a SALE. I knew so many of our regulars and their names and what they wanted. They would WAIT in my line for ME, because I cared about them and they cared about me because if they came in and I was not there... There was HELL to pay. How dare Chick-fil-A give me a day off... Next time you are in there notice how they call for the next person... "I can help the next Guest" If they don't please say something to the manager or call the 800 number.... And my favorite thing... It was my pleasure to write this blog... YEP if you said your welcome while working you would get beat down... No not really but your co workers would promptly correct you....

So there are 5 random things that I have been thinking about... I hope you are clearly confused and feel like I have wasted 10 mins of your life. So get off the computer and get back to cleaning your house and playing with your kids... Maybe you should take them to Chick-fil-a I would if they did not use stinking Peanut Oil.... stupid allergies... OH yeah part of your chick-fil-a training included intense product knowledge. You were TESTED (for real) about what EVERY product contained. I know this because in my last year I was a Trainer there... I do have to say this... When training, train like that person has never heard of whatever it is... and tell them all about it... If you do that you will have the best trained person ever. Never assume they know anything... because chances are they don't.

Adsense =(

Dear Adsense...

Thanks for the condom ads... My readers LOVED it... It embarrassed me to think that my blog had content to suggest that would be an appropriate ad for my blog.. GOOD JOB. I also thought this was a "family friendly" web site that did not allow talk about sex and sex acts... I guess with enough money anybody can advertise on here. Well at least you are promoting SAFE sex, that has to count for something. I was going to send this to them, but they don't want to be contacted for things like this... Its not important or anything.....

It should be noted that I have not had anyone click on that ad... I guess they don't want a free sample.
