sticker shock

The other day I'm cruising along with the windows down jamming out to the music, just minding my own business. A car matches my speed and the guy in it yells something to me. I thought at first something was wrong. This is what follows...(M-me G-guy) M:What? G:Is that sticker from Hawaii? (Referring to my sea turtle Honu) M:Umm...Yes. G:What part did you go to? M:It was a gift. G: That's too bad you need to go it's beautiful! Our conversation kind of ended there as I had to turn. How random is that? He did have his own Hawaiian type stickers on his car. But needless to say I wasn't expecting this in the least.

a scolded child ;)

I have been super scolded for not keeping up with my blog. So here I am head hung typing away giving all an update as to me. I am alive and well. As most of you know I've spent the last month helping my brothers get the arcade Adam has been dreaming of opening up and ready to open. It was a crazy month where I was either nannying or at the arcade (so much black paint). But now it's open and I have more free time. If you'd like to check out the website for the arcade it's http://www.gamegridarcade.com and it'd be great to have you come and enjoy the fruits of our labor. I have found that I am hooked on pinball, I love it. There are two to keep me happy. I already set two high scores on Shrek. I tell you it's interesting being a nanny, I went to the girls dance recital, it was darling. Now they want to know why I'm not at this or at that. They even shared a lovely stomach virus with me that I just got over a day or so ago. Last week I experienced what it was like to be bit by a dog. It wasn't bad, however it wasn't pleasant. It was the neighbor's dog that just decided my legs looked tasty. I went to Joni & Nate's wedding, saw lots of people and then visited my Manda. It was nice. There you have it. If you would like more talk to me.

money matter

It's been tax season as you all know. And right before they were due I got a letter saying there was something wrong with my 2006 taxes. It really stressed me out. I've been running around trying to fix it (paying a bit over $1,500 is just not something I can do at the moment). I've had some help from my parents, my aunt, Jerrie (from my previous job) and the accountants also from my previous job. It was due to an error on some paychecks. I was so worried to go talk to the IRS, but they were quite nice and understanding. They are working with me. I'm not out of the woods yet but it's going to be okay. I think. Things finical keep popping up lately. I get one taken care of or managed then another comes in it's place. I guess it's just what I need to be tried on at this point in my life.

Easter Surprise

Easter was a very nice day for me. We had a great surprise when we went to Stake Conference. The person presiding was none other than Pres Boyd K. Packer himself. I didn't believe it at first, we never have that happen to us. But I now stand corrected. He is shorter than I thought he would be. Who knows maybe he was taller a few years ago. But just as funny, sweet and adorable. It was a great conference. A nice prep for General Conference. Pres Packer gave a great talk on being clean, repentance and using the Atonement. It was wonderful to feel the spirit so strongly with him there. I loved the rest of the day as well. I spent it with my family, it was so fun to watch Alex hunt for eggs, he was so excited.

the heiress who then got lost

Last night I was lucky enough to hang out with my Manda. We went to Pioneer Theatre to see The Heiress. (I'm sorry you weren't well enough to go Scott, but I sure enjoyed going). It was well done, and the story was different than the usual which I didn't mind. If you are looking for a ride off into the sunset and a happily ever after then not quite the play you want to go see. I connected with the main character which I feel you should if they've done a proper job. I have to say Manda made me feel loads better in getting a little lost going home. I was lost too. It was great! I'm always lost and it's good to know I'm not the only one it happens to. Thanks Manda for a good evening! I was dying to get out!

in shock

Last Friday I awoke to my mom crying hysterically saying "I'm sorry" and things like that. But then she said your dad hit your car. I just couldn't process it. I was going oh, okay, maybe mom's being over dramatic. It isn't going to be bad, it's probably just scratched. I went out and my dad is yelling at no one in particular, my mom is still crying, and there is Tink (yes I named my car and that is her name) with the back drivers side wheel well battered, and some parts hanging a bit. Honestly I didn't go close and inspect it til I was on the phone with my insurance agent a while later. I just hung back went okay, okay, completely in shock. Went and called my dealer, an auto repair shop they recommended, my insurance. I have talked to a lot of random people about my poor car. I have had a hard time with the whole thing. I just can't wait for her to be back to her beautiful self. It's getting fixed on Tuesday. Fingers crossed!
*Just a side note-I haven't had anything else about the mission, but if I hear...
