Grand Opening

My friend Adri is newly employed at a brand spankin new Target that's opening in Henderson and Tuesday night they invited friends and family to their store party. It was awesome! They had a fashion show which wasn't that great but the kids were cute in it. They also had fruit and vegetable trays throughout the store. Since it's Halloween time they also had candy in the buckets of some of their Halloween decorations. I think April managed to take all of the Snickers and Almond Joys out of them! The BEST part of the party was the pharmacy bags. This lady was walking around the store with a cart full of goodies from the pharmacy section. It had a bottle of ibuprofen, Burt's Bees, Softlips, mini Vaseline lotion, and a snack size Zone bar. And even better than the bags is that she let us take more than one! I already had one in my purse and she came around and offered more and so I grabbed one thinking I'd give it to April since she wanted more. Then I found out the stinker already had 3 so I decided to be selfish. It was fun to go shopping with friends even if it was for just a little bit. If you know of one opening in your area, find out when the friends and family night is because they let anyone in anyways!

Mi Casa

I still don't have one! I submitted an offer 6 weeks ago and the seller accepted and now we've been waiting to hear back from the seller's lender if the offer is acceptable (it's a short sale.) It turns out that my offer was never received up until 10 days ago. :( I have finally been told today that they're trying to expedite the process because of some glitch that made my offer get lost. I'm so done with waiting! If you're looking for a house right now, avoid short sales at all cost. Sometimes they're more hassle than what they're worth! Here's a few pics of the house I put an offer on:

Wicked Awesome

Hillary and I went to Wicked July 3rd. I LOVED it! I took work off on Friday so we'd be able to make it on time. We ran a little bit late leaving so we had to race a little bit faster than normal. It turns out we stressed over nothing because we got to the auditorium early and were even able to fit delicious Texas Roadhouse in. The only downer of the night is a crochety old woman told us to turn off Glee that we were watching on my iPod or else she would confiscate it. It was a bit retarded. We stepped outside while we waited for the show and watched it on the steps instead.

We got to sit on the 9th row and to the side. I thought our seats were great! Glinda's character was hilarious and spunky and SO likeable. We ended up not getting home until 2 in the morning and I was exhausted and crabby. I don't have any pictures of our cultured selves, but here's one of Glinda and Elphaba that performed in Tempe. If it comes to your city, GO SEE IT!

Kansas

I have repeatedly asked my sister Chelsea to email me the pictures I took while visitng my sister in Kansas. (I left my camera there on accident.) She has failed. Royally. I have been forced to use pictures that are not from that particular trip but from others. Here's a picture of me when Chelsea picked me up. I look a little frazzled because of the rushing through the airport and then a 3 hour flight with little air conditioning flowing through the plane.

Here's Chelsea and Ryan before we go out to a restuarant that has 1 dollar bills stuck to a wall. The weather was hot and humid. I definitley have Kansas off of my list of places to live.
Their dog Thunder was actually mellow this time. It made staying there much more enjoyable. Although, he did throw up on me one morning. That made me dry heave. Bleh.

Lawrence was pretty with a lot of pretty houses that I'm sure have a million stories to tell if they could. We went to a garage sale early on Friday and I snagged a free cake stand and Chelsea got some pretty good crap too! It was a nice relaxing trip that I was glad for.

Up, Up and Away!

I'm on my way to a better (hopefully) place! I was so worried that I wouldn't get to the airport on time. My flight was at 7pm so I was walking out of work at 5:03 thinking that I was doing great. I always make the wrong decisions when it come to getting to places and today was another one of those days. I decided to go on the streets instead of going on the 15 because of the 5pm traffic and got totally lost. I'm probably going to get a fever blister over this whole ordeal. It took me 45 min to go 5 miles!
Once I got to the parking lot I was dancing because I was waiting for the shuttle after hearing the horror stories from coworkers when they had to wait 20 minutes for it to come.
I went the wrong direction to check in so I ended up having to schlepp down the entire length of the airport. I also went in the wrong security check so I had to walk instead of take the shuttle. I was so tired after lugging my 49.5 pound bag around that I started to get envious of the obese people in the wheelchairs.
Now I'm here waiting patienly for my 30 min delayed flight to get here. Let the fun begin!

Fun Lil' Snippett

So last week I went to the dentist and 90 min later I am walking out without my teeth cleaned and with the news that my next visit is going to cost 2 thousand dollars. I need a deep cleaning and that alone is a thousand. They also came across as a used car place because they tried to upsell me. I had no idea dentists do that! Anyways, I was distraught because I really don't think my teeth are that bad. Luckily Hillary talked to her dentist friend and he said I could probably treat myself at home. I bought the biggest bottle of Listerine Walmart had and the toothpick/floss things and I've been using them religiously. A few days ago I'm getting ready for bed and am swishing the stinging moushwash around my chops and think, "I could wash my face while I'm doing the mouthwash." So I get my hands all soapy and put a hand on each cheek. Without even thinking I push in and the Listerine goes shooting out of my mouth. Good times.

GLEE

I love love love this show! Here's the preview for it. My favorite part is 3 minutes 28 seconds in.

I'm a sucker for a guy that can sing. I can't wait for fall!
