I forgot how much i love hand writing letters and in my journal. I stopped this morning and got some cute paper to write letters on (Walmart clearence, $1 a pack for 25 letterheads! including TIKIS!!) and some cute colored pens.. not gel couse i smear them up, just colored ball points. Also found some little bee stickers that are adorable! and the boss already had them, so i get to keep them!

working on getting my mary kay stuff organized, I want to organize my life. I dreamed up how i want to get my room in order untill i can decide what to get rid of! this is huge for me, visualizing how i want it, cause i need to get rid of tons, but i am a packrat sap... :) now i just have to make some time!

Also,

I may have to kill Dora. yes.. everyday at 4 she sings... SINGS! and not well, like the decent Backyardagains, but terrible... and the map... *shudder* I just want to fold the map... (Twister reference!)

So not much going on.. Boss's bday is tomarrow and I havnt a clue what to get her. I think Brina and I will make some treatie goodness, and I'll have Brina make a card. what do you get the woman who has EVERYTHING? Poor Matt...

So Im trying to get the sleep schedual underway. this one should be easier with the getting to sleep in an hour, but still wanna stay up, gatta fix this! Im such a weinie!!! weanie? weenie? weiny? weinee? I dont know...

In Platinum I am about to catch Girantina. Would have cought him at lunch BUT the red light of impending death appeared, so i saved and shut down. I have 20 ultraballs and 20 duskballs and 20 great balls, I hope its enough. I evolved Amalthea so she is now a true unicorn (so pretty, waited for her to learn FireBlitz, other wise i had to wait till lvl 56!) Mittens still dies if you look at him wrong, but he now has a few good attacks. i just gatta get him hypnosis... Squishi, Tortuga, and the rest are lvling up fine, poor Maganeton is stuck in the box, i could have really used the little thing on the last battle...

In pearl Im so close to finishing!! Its painfull! If I EVER get a caterpie in so having a MASSIVE breeding/giveaway. they appear to be rare. -_- damn bugs.

Picked up teenage zombies and am another level in. I get stuck and get frustrated, but its a hilarios game and fun in short spurts. havnt touched Orcs and Elves, Nightmare was scary....

I re-found my book, Z war and need to read it. I started and its really interesting then it settled to the bottom of my backpack... Scary! lol, no, theres just clean clothes in there right now. Brina has been REALLY good, we have to do something fun soon!!!

No, not a speed racer character, its a ..... Diego Car... You all know Im a nanny, right? lol... the time change is really messing me up, but I'll survive. Got the tire fixed on my car yesterday, i think i posted that.. yess.... and its about 1/2 way cleaned out! I can see seats!! :D I plan on getting it all the way clean this week.

My stomach isnt the happiest, to much junk food this weekend (What? never!) Also just everyday stress, shitty people and the lovely commentary between the old people i share the house with. I love being at Cathy's. THANK YOU ERICA FOR RECOMENDING ME!!! Im gunna be so sad when she gets back, lol. OMG french fries.. -_- so annoying.

I found some crayola markers and crayons i was using for school and pulled them out. i can now pretty up some of the letters i have been writing and my journal! :D Hurray! I'd love to see everyones halloween costumes, so send me links to picties.

Tonight is the MK meeting, that will be good, a needed boost.

I got a BUNCH of free post cards from the state fair back in august and guess what? I FOUND them!! XD So yes, I will be mailing them out to varios people whos addees i have (coughIshahandTESSIEcoughcough)

Did you all have a good halloween? I sure did. Had a little pizza, a little beer, watched a marathon of Ghost Hunters on a TINY little Tv... Yes, the big tv int he living room did really bite the dust, so we're using the kitchen tv... which is, well, like 6x6. So if you have a spare tv in your garage feel free to call up your good friend Izzy.

Dad's throwing a fit over fries, theres on 2 potatoes and so i decided to skip fries (better anyway) and he's all upset cause the potatoes arnt fresh. Wait, wha? Um.. I bought them at the farmers market a week ago, fresher then the store.. and beside, cant potatoes go like 6 months in a celler? really? fresh potatoes? Because moms favorite job is making fries right.... So ya... Im gunna eat dinner and head over to Cathy's, its nice and quiet... let the kitties out to play and just listen to my thoughts, maybe write some letters or write in my journal.


( Follow me for fabulouse pictures )

Its my favorite holiday. Im finding fewer and fewer of my friends celibrate it for varios reasons, and thats kewl, they just have to deal will my SQWEE-ness ;) I shopped around at some of the "We need to move this today" sales and got some awesome deals including 60$ in candle holders for $8 :) Amazing

Everyone read my sisters Blog, she's mrs_reece and look what she's been making, its awesome. :D

Last night Bon Kate Flea Ally Brandi and I did alittle impromptue party. I sent out texts to bunches of people to come, but no one responded... someone said they never got it, maybe i have to have a chat with att again... But it was fun, we played apples to apples and watched amnityville horror (the old one) and drank different concotions in tiny amounts. everyone went home and i actually had a good time. I stayed up watching Pumpkin head 3 or 4, not sure....

We also voted on who's families were what and my family won for Passive Aggression, awesome! Its true though, and i can also think of a few other people who win that title.

BTW, appearently some people had a problem with a past post of mine involving my opinions of their opinions of themselves and like i typed IF YOU READ THAT THEN YOU DONT APPLY. the people/persons responsable for my feelings about that dont/cant read this blog or even know of its exsistance, so quit being like my family and being passive aggressive. Also, if you have a problem with me, tell it to my face, I can take it. I may not be happy but I will tell YOU when i have a problem with you. you know who im talking about, Im not mad, just irritated.

Back to happyness! Watching the Ghost Hunters Marathon and eating crap. its wonderful. but the tv in the living room died for reals and its not good. Im bummed about that

"We wont go to a house party, the bar or nothing" "I wont go to the bar this close to halloween" "I wanna just get drunk for halloween" "Can you watch my kid while i get drunk?" "Can you buy me booze and pizza for halloween?"

Can you kiss my fuzzy white ass? *sigh* The Jack-a Claus AINT comin. Nor is the Great Pumpkin. Im poor, get that? I offered my house for a FEW friends to get together and crash, and you all wanted to go to the bar. Now you want me to clean AND pay? -_- I'll clean, ya'll are gunna be dissapointed. Seriosly. :) maybe they will be semi-sober? Good luck, wishfull thinking.

Anywho, aside from NO ONE TALKING TO EACH OTHER Im fairly good. gatta dig up my costume and find a pumpkin and Ghost Storie. Yes, its an awesome movie... and maybe some Soylent Green for the drunkards.. they will fear the garbage man.. mwahahaha!

Did a Debue for one of the new girls last night, was fun! She's super cute and her friends were nice and it was easy. i got into bed WAY to late, but feel alright today. Lets see how we feel tonight..... lol!

maybe I'll make some cookies

Im making yummy krispie treat for Garretts Halloween party tomarrow. Brina has decided they are "DE-liciose!" and Thats high praise. I have managed to dodge the morning Dora thus far for Backyardigans, who are adorable, and though they sing can ACTUALLY carry a tune. plus their pretty cute. Im hoping to avoid mid-morning Dora and Afternoon Dora aswell, though i think Diago and Dora are on at the same time on the two good channels and Im not sure who i hate more... I may just throw on land before time for the millionth run. If the wind dies down we'll actually go to the park instead of hang out all day.... Or maybe make cookies.... hhhmmm...

I REALLY want to go to this:

http://www.laughsforbaldbryan.com/

Like REALLY bad.. but i dont know if i can justify the tickets, and the gas.. and bumming a car that can make it down there, AND the day off....... and possibly going alone.. but OMG I wanna go. its only a 6.5 hour drive.... but there will be soooo many awesome people there... arg.. maybe they will sell out and i wont have to worry anymore.

Ok, going back to work now. I'll stop bitching

Four of them!! XD Dont think they did candy corn this year, but I'll have to check again... I got the four flavors i found and some Halloween oreos... gettin ready for the big night! So far I have no IDEA what Im doing... some people have said they wanna do stuff but nothing concrete yet. Im super bummed that I havnt gotten to do one haunted house and only got to go to one pumpkin patch and i was alone.. well, Carl was with me, but he doesnt count... Poor Carl...

I have been writing letters to prosective penpals... i never had one as a kid, when we did it in class mine was always the one who never wrote back. The idea's always intriged me, and I write off and on to friends out of town (when i have their addee's, Chris Im looking at YOU) So I figured I would give it a shot. So far its been a big bust. two now have flaked on me, but i have prospects for 3 more thanks to the penpals community on here. JOY!

Last night i worked late cause the boss was workin late, and tonight i work late, which is good for $$ but hard on my schedual. I had to feed for mom last night which is alright but it was DAMN cold and windy. no one was happy. then i get home from telling kids all day, "Dont do this, dont touch that, WHAT are you thinking?" and Kiki is on the table, knocking off things, clawing the couch and generally taunting me. I dont know why she's out to get me! I even sat and scratched her for like an hour then she claws me, jumps up and tries to knock the lamp down. then she went outside... Zeus got the picture and just layed near me purring, i think he plans this.

Mailing out some postcards today, but if i dont have your addee (Tess) you wont get one...

I have made an interesting observation. When i hang out with friends of mine who are thin, who then complain all the time how they need to loose weight and their sooooooo fat i tend to gain weight. why? I dunno... I know i feel like crap when they do this "Im so fat, I need to weigh 120" and i think, damn, im like 25 lbs heavier then you are and i just wanna go eat a tup of ice cream and flaming cheetos. the good news is these people are all ignoring me for the most part. they have more important things to do and to be honest, Im glad. They need something else to do, all of them (You know who you are, of course if your reading this then your not one of these people cause they dont have time to read this or they dont know it exsists!) People are strange...

Alright! So to go out on THAT emo note... Dora's on, I must go murder something now.. lol!

I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!

Your prolly know that already though, I mean look outside my window, dont you see the wind? Anywho, Dora is going in the other room. Yes the Dora of DOOMM... Backpack backpack... AAAHHH! Got the boss and kids a fish, a VERY cute red betta with a white nose ;) Super cute. He's very friendly and is fitting right in. The kids got to name him and the verdic is:

Fluffy

Yes, Fluffy the betta. I couldnt be more proud, lol. I was bad today and bought myself some buffalo bleu chips at raleys, and a bag of beef jerky. i havnt bought myself chips in SOOOO long.

Last night was the MK meeting, and we have some new gals, which makes me mucho happy! I love it. we also did glamor makeovers and i found a new lipstick color... you all will be totaly shocked, its- Black Cherry XD And it looks GOOD!

http://www.marykay.com/color/lips/viewall/10022826/default.aspx

Crap Im a girl, lol. So yes... I pulled out Orcs and Elves and restarted on Nightmare level.. and yes, its a NIGHTMARE. If you dont "POP" the bodies they jump up and attack at full health!!! AAAHH!! Needless to say since i SUCK at gaming for the most part im barely through the third dungeon.... Its such a fab game... To bad it makes me car sick if i play to long... @_@ poor grafics is its downfall. In pearl I have been trading on the GTS and getting lots of foriegn characters which is fun, and on platinum Im FINALLY to... gosh i almost said celidon city, lol, eerr.. Iron Island! Thats it! Training up Amalthea (bet you cant guess what she is) and I wanna breed her with a stantler and get some hypnosis ponyta's... mwahaha!!! a shiny hypnosis ponyta would be my dream, that it WOULD be Amalthea... Im a dork. Gatta new leaf green, so gatta mail back the bad one. Gatta test if this one works... I may just try and find a foriegn SP cheap and see if that helps me hunt for Fire Red and such... why does it have to be hard?!?!?

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGG!! Im gunna murder Dora's map! Im the map im the map im the map im the map im the MAP. Someone put him out of ALL of our misery. Brina asked him to stop singing the other day. EVEN THE 3 YO WANTS HIM GONE! She is awesome... her and Dami would get along i think they have the same taste in shows and toys. (Batman trucks and ponies, aka Ankies)

OMG! Well, while i bake lunch for the munchkin I thought i would post the krispie recipies we made up today! For those who dont have the Origional marshmellow treat here it is:

Lets see... Dont really remember friday, its a blur of mary kay, gameboy and prepping for saturday... But Saturday i got up earlier then i should on a stay-home day and packed to go to the most exciting place in ALL of California! Turlock? Ok, not so exciting, but more exciting this weekend cause Amy played in a soccer tournament! yay! We got to share a hotel with the aunts and had tons of fun. Im pretty tired though, as usual.

Also hit the farmers market and got some pumpkin quark (YUM!) and garlic cheese curds! (extra yum!) along with my usual asian pears, apples, tomatoes and such. Good food abounds! Also got my favorite bread, garlic cheese sourdough....

Tess made me something special to sell to, a tiny RAT SWEATER! Im gunna post pictures cause it is AMAZING! Awesome!! XD ADORABLE!! I think I will mak rice crispy treats with Beanie today, yes, that sounds like an excellent idea!

BTW, when is daylight savings?

Moma stayed with me last night and made sure i got to bed at a decent hour, lol. Its AMAZING what an hour more of sleep will do for ya! I feel GREAT! Aside from my funny tummy which isnt getting better, but not worse either.... hhhmmm...

Lots of things to go for work today, plus my own OTHER two jobs! lol. Got some volenteers for free facials (Wanna free facial? Wanna do a spa party? Come on guys, you know you do!) and update my wonderfull wonderfull shop.



As your looking for gifts this year for family and friends (holidays, birthdays, thank yous) remember your local artisens (farmers markets, holidays carnivels and festivals, craft shows) and if you dont like that, remember ETSY, Mary Kay, Partilight and those other direct sellers. Trust me, that sale at Macys and Walmart aint NOTHIN compaired to the deals you can snag from directly from a buiness owner!
Example

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29624220&ref=sr_list_6&&ga_search_query=bracelet&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_page=5&order=price_asc&includes[]=tags&includes[]=title

75 CENTS? Ya. $3 shipping but if you ordered a bunch from her it would go down per item. but still, could you dig that? Buy HANDMADE and LOCAL!

Ok, rant over, gatta get to work. :)

Part of my brains asleep, as when i get home from work i dont wanna get to bed right away and stay up to late, but the other part is rearing to go! Just gatta keep my eyes open! lol. Wrote my penpals, havnt had a chance to check my mail to see if they wrote back yet or not... oh well!

Did i mention my nails are pink from the retreat? I know shock!! I'll put them back to blue for halloween... unless i can find some sparkly halloween colors.... mwahahaha!!

Sold something on etsy, woot! I love selling things! I gatta update my shop and get things ready for the holiday season! :D Also got the holidays expect posts with SALEs and Stuff thats orderable! Feel free to order via comments or messages! :D JOY!

Im gunna make myself up an exercize schedual again. I have gained some pounds and need to get back on track ;) not that I'll ever be a model or an Ishah (lol) but i wanna feel better. Anyone else?

PS, in Platinum Im to Veilstone, and my Haunter keeps sucking (bummer, one of my faves) and I cant find a Mareep. Frustrating. In Pearl My eevee's are almost done, just refining their special skills. also working on my dex.

IF YOUR NOT LISTENING TO WAIT WAIT DONT TELL ME YET GO DOWNLOAD IT! You all need more Carl Kassel in your life. Oh, And I guess Peter Segal.

Just got back from the Mary Kay retreat! Got LOADS of info on how to make money, use money, empower myself, build a team AND drive free cars. that last part if my favorite ;)

We're very serios at these things


( Follow for more pink bubble madness! )

Goodness, what have I gotten us into? (Laurel and Hardy Joke, you wont get it) I has filled my calander and should expect to invest in caffine this weekend. Tomarrow is the craft show, and I have like 6 bracelets done? Havnt touched my yarn yet, so tonight i shall be up making THOSE. Thats easy peasy lemon squeezy though. now wheres that NCIS or CSI marathon.... yes, i AM a massive dork. oooww... or a Thin Man marathon, i has the DVDs to make that possible.... I dont get enough Asta in my life



Anywho, kids are with Nana today so Im here cleaning and well, not blogging... o.0 dont give me that look! Something very kewl on the MK front:

$50 STARTER KITS!!! So you can start your own buisness with the beginner kit that is oh so fab, the small one has all the samples and training to get started with, the $100 one is the regular 2 bag ginorno set. AWESOME!!!

Last night instead of making bracelets i got to see Ishah, followed by watching part of a Project Runway marathon with mom. OMG I love Tim Gunn. Yes I do. I want him to come live in my closet. he's awesome, positive, amazingly talented and so motivational. plus TIMS ALWAYS RIGHT! Why cant the competitiors EVER see that? when he says your idea looks to _____ (insert: unfinished, to much, to little, dont know where its going, etc) that means its CRAP! lol. Although i proved I have no taste and proceded to fall in LOVE with the dress that got eliminated. it was my fave, oops. Apaerently i secretly wanna dress october fest according to Hiedi and Michael. Im sorry, did they SEE logans design? That was crap. I think I could have done better.... -_-

http://www.mylifetime.com/on-tv/shows/project-runway/rate-the-runway/season-6-episode-8#id=4

this is the dress that got booted. Im sayin iw ould wear it, so I have no taste i guess.

This morning everyone was grumpy. The kids were to tired, boss was tired and Matt was tired. I am tired to, last night i go to get into bed and- Willow pee'd. Right there on the bed. on my blankets, missed the pillows thank goodness. So I wash up washing things, and slept on the couch with blankets i found around the house. Then at 1:30 AM Kiki and Zues decided it was a great time to eat and meowed meowed meowed in my face. So they got to go outside early, where they kept meowing and pawing the door till i passed out.

Woke up this morning and i think Willow pee'd on the catbed. :/ She is outside also for the day. I dont understand, cat box is clean... (and empty since appearently no one needs to use it) I did switch litters, but i got a better one, arm and hammer, and its the same texture. maybe they dont like baking soda? Anyway, im doing lots of laundry when I return and trying to figure out why she doesnt like the littler box..... to clean?

Finally got to see monsters Vs Aliens, and i thought i wouldnt like ti but its REALLY cute. its in Modesto. thats AWESOME. and theres a great quote "In what universe is Fresno better then Paris?" Lol... Fresno...

Restarted Sapphire, I forgot how long it takes to get ANYWHERE in that game... -_- But I do wanna play it. and my Leaf Green is busticated. bummer and waste of $5. :( I looked it up and appearently that happends to some of the older cartrige games. just dont make them like they used to.. it came it in 05 for crists sake! oh well, i think i want Fire Red anyway.

Havnt made nearly enough bracelets. oops! gatta get working and stop playing video games!

I found a gift card to gamestop in my drawer and soo... I got Platnum!! XD WOOT! Im excited!! So I can now get the limited releases as they are released! I also found some yarn for $1 to make halloween bracelets out of!!! :D

My sciatic is acting up weirdly... my hip is going numb if i sit or stand wrong. very strange sensation. i need a tack needle.

Today Brina was watching tv at her little table and tring to stand on her little chair. I asked her to get down, she didnt. I asked her again and she squatted. I asked again and she slipped off and smacked her face on the table. She cried. I told her thats why we dont stand and as i help her up i see she's startin to get a bloddy nose. great. and a bloddy lip. fantastic. So it turns out she's fine. I called Nana and we ran through the concussion checklist, and she's eatin an egg, PB&J and is singin pony songs, so i think she'll live. txt'd the boss and so everyone knows. their pretty kewl and Brina is pretty bullet proof

So Im at 299 cought in my national dex, which makes me VERY happy. I spent last night finding charger cords, evaluating pearl, watching NCIS: LA and evolving hypno. I like drowsaee and hyno, their very cute. gatta train and evolve a few more, gatta happy evolve a few and soon i will fill and win the game... and im so close to restarting sapphire, just trading over a few more TM's. yay! I love to game! Im thinking when i get bored with this I will restart Zelda...of course them Gold will come out...

How is everyone today? I is well, mucho well. feelin better and excited about the up and coming events in my life. SATURDAY is the Spookfest. Its a craft show/kids carnival down in rancho cordova that is gunna be AWESOME! they will have games and food and a haunted house! I love Halloween!

so yes, thats whats going on today! making plans and trying to be proactive!! Also need to make a million friendship bracelets!

Im bad and usually go to work or school untill Im either better or dying. When I do stay home I like to be alone, just curl up on the couch with my gameboy, a book or some tv and of course my heating pad. I love that thing. so warm, so wonderfull.

The Candle party was so much fun, people showed up i didnt expect, and good time was had by all. and Paula Flea and I all gamed and made poffins in game, which was fun. mwahahaha! epic poffins. Saturday I lazed around and gamed and surfed the interweb. I have so much to do but god I justw anna sit for a day sometimes... ya know? :) it was nice.

Gatta Vacume again at Cathy's. Wood gets so dusty so fast! I wonder when she's coming home, I heard from Marina 2 weeks later, which is kewl! Im having fun house sitting. nice to be alone, like REALLY alone for a bit.

Owwww..... Prolly when I was sick either with Salmonilla or when I got walking pnumonia. Both timei couldnt sleep, couldnt eat and couldnt move so i just lay there watching tv for prolly like 2 days strait. being that sicka nd not being able to sleep is the WORST thing, cause all you really want is sleep. I tend to watch more tv with my mom or when bored, though im almost always drawing or gaming while watching. I just cant stay still.

CANDLE PARTY TOMARROW!
