Sewing is fun!

I love to create! I am having a serious itch to make me a fabulous
new dress for this weekend, but i don't think that i have the right
fabric to make it. I need a black cocktail dress, Audrey style. That
would be grand. Hmm i will have to go dig in the massive collection
of fabric i have acquired. And yes i do NEED it. I need something to
match my fabulous shoes.

Flirting 102

The saga continues, and just to clarify they have not told me to be
some one else, cause i am pretty sure i would have told them to go
straight to hell, just the best way to get them noticing the real you.

The lesson today is A.C.T.

A- Animated. Be animated when you are talking. don't jsut tell a
story, TELL A STORY! (This makes me feel like i might have to be a
bubble head, though i have been assured that i don't.)

C- Closeness. Eliminate any unnecessary distance. (so how much
distance is really necessary? i think that all depends on how atracted
you are to said individual)

T- Touch. Once again touch is vital. (this is touching not groping,
do not caress the pectoral and givee the nipple a little twist. Well
dan'g it all groping is what i am best at. I will just have to try to
contain myself.)

Flirting 101

First I hate my computer! It is a piece of Crap!

Anyway on with the real post.

For those of you who know me, it will come as no suprise when i say
that i, domestic goddess, cannot flirt. I am just not capable of
doing it. I think that i must have missed that day in school when
they taught all girls how to flirt, of i just got a big fat F in it
because i didn't feel like it applied to me. I have concluded that
the main reason i will not flit is that i find it demeaning. I think
that it will make me look stupid and that is not something that i
enjoy. upon learning this some wonderful women that i work with have
taken it upon themselves to teach me how to flirt. One of them in
particular, has decided tat she will be my personal tutor. I have
even been given homework already, which i am sure to put off until the
very last minute when i can endure the pestering no longer. I have
decided that i need to share these ittle "pearls of wisdom" withthe
rest of the world so that if there happen to be more pathetic souls
like myself out there, this will either make hem laugh or help them
out. So here are the first to days of lessons:

1. Men are like dogs, too much eye contact is seen as an act of
aggresion, Smile and briefly make eye contact, then look away
demurely. Is demurely even a real word? oh well, that is how i choose
to phrase it. deal with it.
(apparently i have been going at this all wrong by treatingmen like
human beings, silly me)

2. Competition between the two of you is a form of research to see how
he will take winning. Let him win the first game, if he is a cocky
jerk about it beat him soundly next time, if he is cute and
apologetic, let him win again, just not by as much this time.
(again, i have been going at this wrong. I am not someone who
likes to get beat. I will try to win, not let him win. I must do
better at this.)

3. Touch him on the elbow. this is the magic spot. (the Elbow?! O.K.
right. got it.)

4. Men like to appear needed. Make sure he knows you are the "weaker"
sex. (hey i need men to kill spiders, change my oil, tires and open
jars. I think that is a sufficient display of weakness thank you very
much!)

So there you have it. My first two days of lessons. WooHoo.

A period of mourning...

So after my 3 months of mourning i feel that i am now ready to enter back in to the the blogging world. I am so very sorry to all of those who have been missing the wisdom that spews forth from this page. Ha Ha. Now i am back so all of you can rest assured that there will continue to be a bunch of non-vital junk and rambling posted. Yay.

Super Bowl XLI!!!!!

It is a beautiful thing! My Boys are back to the Super Bowl after a 21 year drought! Super bowl shuffle 2007. Today was a good day. After a slow start, Rex looked confident and poised. The defense remembered that they are the best defense in the league and played like it, holding the number 1 offense to just 14 points, forcing 4 turnovers and just plain dominating the game. Brian Urlacher is the greatest! Any one who thinks he is overrated, how many of you have seen a 255 pound middle line backer with that much speed! He is a beast! The Chicago Bears are #1! I lovey love love them! Go Bears!

AMAZING!!!!!

I am constantly in a state of amazement at how wonderful my friends are. I am so blessed to have each of you in my life. That thought came to me yesterday as I sat in sacrament and listened to an amazing talk given by one of these friends.

Frenda-You are fabulous! I can always count on you for strength and support when things get hard, or if i just need some one to make me laugh. You always come through and i know that you will always be there.

TK-things have been rocky, but i am glad for what we have, and what we had. I miss you.

Squeej-I am always amazed by you. Just when i think you can't get any better, you do. YOu are wonderful. You are a rock and an a mold for what every man should be. Thank you for being you and showingme what i should want to become.

Squared-I love talking to you. I know that you understand a lot of the things i am going through, and vice versa. Thank you for listening to me complain. I am here for you whenever.

Tiger-I am so greatful for your friendship. Thank you for telling me when i am being dumb or just trying to sabotage myself. You always help me see that i am worth the trouble.

To all those not listed. I am greatfull for all you do for me. THere so many of you that strengthen me every day, in one way or another. I treasure each of you. You have done more for than me then i could ever ask for. I love you all.

Complicated

Seriously sometimes i feel that my life is this song. why does it have to be this way. I shouldn't have to be, but it is. Now i am just going to feel all strange and not no how to act. Can i just go back to mexico. I forgot about it all there. Sun and sand, that is all i need to forget the silly matters that shouldn't be such a concern.

So Close!

I wish it were next friday so bad right now! I just want to go. One whole week of nothing to worry about. Seriously can't we just skip next week?

I think I may throw up!

Seriously. Could the bears make that game anymore difficult for me?! I almost threw up several times, but they pulled it out in the end. Good thing my boyfriend Brian showed up in the second half.

Awkward

Sometimes I don't think i can even fit into that box again. Strange how one day seems so normal and then the next so out of place, like you don't really fit and that no one notices it except you and you don't know what to do about it to make it different.

Smile!

I have had a great day. Well actually. it started last night and I just can't seem to stop smiling. Ahhh, sometimes things go great!

Filter? What Filter?

Sometimes I say things before I really think and it can get me into a lot of trouble. Today was one of those days. It was at this time that it was implied that I am not willing to take risks to try and get what I want.

That is so true.

I have never been one who was willing to open up and take the risk of being hurt or disappointed for everyone to see, so I do nothing. It is not good. I know that there are loads of things that I should just try, even once, but I am too affriad, too proud, to let myself. I find it demeaning to do some things. I hate looking stupid in front of people. For a long time I felt that my intelligence was the only thing I had to offer to people, and even that wasn't enough, so I have a fear of people thinking I am dumb, because it reverts back to me not having anything at all to offer to anyone.

I know that this is a bit crazy, and that I am far beyond where I was at that point of my life, but still, I don't know how to overcome it. I know what I need to do , but I can't. Iknow what I should to say, but I just can't bring myself to do it. .

Wedded Bliss

Last weekend I had the opportunity to attend the wedding of a dear friend from my high school days. It had been years since I had seen her. It is amazing to me how everything seemed so much the same, and yet we all knew that we had changed so much.

I will never forget the seeing the tears that came from the eyes of the bride and her mother when they saw us come in, the disbelief in who was standing there in front of them, and the joy that we could travel such distances for her. Swan, I know you will probably never read this but, I am so thankful for our friendship, and you looked beautiful, as always.

The Perfect Dress

Thanks to Cellular, or at least I am pretty sure it is her, I have my first customer! I am a little nervous though, this girl is willing to pay me a lot of money to make her dress! I hope I don't disappoint.

Repairs are hard!

Procrstination and other dumb things i do

So i have finals next week. I also have about 4 papers to write, but did i do that today? No. Although, i do have a very good excuse, the monitor on my computer died last night, so i had to find a new one. Luckily i didn't have to buy one, Holly's mom and little bro saved me by having a spare one. Yipee.

I also finally decided it might be a good idea to get my tires rotated (first time in almost 2 years of owning the car). Needless to say i had to buy new tires today. Only two thankfully but honestly, why do i always wait to do things that i know for ages that i need to be doing.

Speeking of that i should probably be planning a Relief Society lesson right about now, since oh i need to teach it tomorrow. Yeah i am a slacker.

You can't go back

This weekend i went on a short roadtrip to rexburg. It is amazing how much it is the same, and yet so different. Maybe it is exactly the same as it used to be, i have just changed. That is probably it. I was a very different person while i was there, and i am greatful for the things that i learned at Ricks/BYU-I that have helped me to become who i am today, but i wouldn't go back. No thank you.

On another note i am one step closer to getting the business going. Slopers are now in my posession. Yipee. Send out the word. Flarah Bridal is ready for business.

Eye Color

So this weekend i was told that my eyes are the color of stale sinus infection buggers. Most people just call it green.
