Witches night out

So last night my co-workers and I all went to Witch A Palooza. It was at the Gathering place at Gardner Village. It was so fun to be out with my co-workers. We kind of dressed up as witches.

What is Witche A Palooza? I will tell you...It is a dinner theater type thing about "Weston the Warlock" It is his search for love. It goes through all the ages of time (well not ALL) but you know the begining, then 50's 70's 80's etc. And the different witches he falls in love with, but that just aren't right for him. His friend Esmerelda the witch has been there for him through it all and of course through it all has loved him and wanted him to love her. She tries to tell him, but always chickens out. (sounds like something I have lived) hmmmm...Anyway it was fun music, good food, fun times all around. I am so glad to work with such amazing people and spend even "outside" time with them. I recommend it to anyone. :)
Look at my fun socks....That was my favorite part of the whole outfit.

Do I blog enough??? 7 random things

Well if not this is another blog so if you are sitting on the edge of your seat hoping for me to blog the wait is OVER. I have been "tagged" by Sharon...so I have to tell you 7 random things about myself....Hope I am up for the task. :)

1. I have crazy sometimes scary dreams...not just the kind that you are in class naked....although that would be crazy and scary, mine are more like fighting for my life or not fighting (because I am paralyzed) Or where I can't breathe so I have to wake up so I can breathe.

2. I LOVE to cook. I wish I had more people to cook for...and the money to pay for the food I am cooking. (I mean if I was cooking for more people I might go broke) It is something I do to relax, or something I do to let out frustration and even sometimes to stop feeling so selfish....but then I have to clean the mess and sometimes that undoes all the good feelings. :)

3. I moved here to live with one of my sisters. (she left after I got here....hmmm wonder if that means something.) Love ya Tammy!

4. I love the Fall...I love the colors the crisp air, and the hot chocolate I get to drink. I always wanted to get married in the Fall....guess I will have to wait another year. :)

5. Most of the friends I had when I lived in Sparks have moved away from there too. (But I would move back if it was the right thing to do)

6. I only have one niece and she is the COOLEST kid EVER. Our family is so lucky to have her she is my FAVORITE Narae. Sure love that girl.

7. 7 is in fact my most favorite number....

First Party Oh "sweet" success....

I did it! I had my first Pampered Chef party...I was not only the "host", I was also the consultant. Wow double duty...but I was up for the task!!! There was YUMMY food and fun people too.

I made three different things to eat....I made artichoke dip, apple salsa, and cheese garden pizza. I have all the recipes if anyone wants them. They are super easy and frankly pretty dang tasty...not that i really got to eat any of it...but I did at least have a bit of everything. (that's the hard part about being the host AND the consultant. :)



Less people showed then RSVP'd, but that's alright cause lets face it I don't have the biggest house so it was a good number of people. Plus the fact that my director and the person that recruited me were here so really there was like 9 people in my little dining area so ya. All in all it was a good time.

Mindy was nice enough to take some pictures of the event....she took them before people came so that's why I am the only one in the pictures. :)

Books...to read or not to read

I love different types of books , I love cook books, picture books, travel books, and of course reading books. It is the reading books I wish to discuss. I am always trying to find a new good book to read, there is almost always a problem with that though. I have found if the book is amazing I can't put it down (so I am up all hours of the night reading or I start dreaming about). So the problem comes that either way I don't get enough sleep when I start a new book.

Another thing I have been trying to do is step outside my comfort zone. I have a type of book I like to read and a type of author, so a lot of the books are very similar and sometimes that just gets boring. But I have found it is the safest way to go for me.

The reason it is the safest is because if I ever try a new author or a new style I end up regretting it. For example I got this book the other day from the library. I knew who the author was and THOUGHT it might be a good read. Well unfortunately for me it wasn't so good (in my opinion). It would have been good if it didn't have all the swearing and and other slightly graphic things in it. AND the unfortunate thing was I still read the whole thing. (It was "good" enough to keep me turning pages). But then it makes we weary in reading other books. In fact the other book that I got by the same author I took back without even opening it. (didn't want to chance it)

I realize that I am possibly too sensitive to these type things because I can't stand some of the "best seller" books, but everyone else loves them. So whats a girl to do? Is there a thing online that tells you ratings of books? I did a Google search (not an extensive one) and it seemed the rating was focused on what people thought of it. What I want is like what they have for the movies. And I want to read a book at an adult reading level - obviously kids books are "g" rated. I don't want to read kids books (unless it is to a kid). But I would love something to tell me what to expect. I think it is possible to have a good book that doesn't have filth, gore, graphic details and or profanity. Am I alone in this?

Chefs who want to be Pampered :)

So most of you know...well as far as I know most of you know I LOVE to cook. It is one of my most favorite things to do. If only I had more supplies and more room to cook in. Oh and of course more people to cook for. (just me and my roommate for now).

Because I love to cook I also love to get supplies for cooking. One of the places or products I like to buy from is Pampered Chef. So yesterday I was invited to a Pampered Chef party and man do I love the products, and the food that they make at these parties are YUMMY we had this very good chocolate strawberry cake...made in the microwave. (it only took like 10min.)

A while back I had decided I would start selling this Pampered Chef stuff, but never really got around to it...until yesterday. Well what I mean is that yesterday I decided to get the kit to start selling it. DON'T worry! If you don't want to buy anything or have a party I will not stop talking to you, or try to make you feel bad. I understand. However if you would like to purchase any products OR have a party I would LOVE to do one for you. You just have to let me know and I will be more then happy to coordinate a time with you. I can also do catalog parties so you can do those when and where ever you want. I am all about making it easier for you.

Once I get really going I will also have a website of products and different things so you can order from that TOO. This is going to be my "second" job so now I can chose my hours and not have to worry about stressing so much to do another job.

Autumn

I love autumn. I love the cooler temperatures and the changing leaves. I love the different scents that start to come (pumpkin spices, Cinnamon, nutmeg etc.) I love the crunch of the leaves on the ground when you step on them. (I probably wouldn't love that as much if I had to rake those leaves.) I love the crisp air, I love that people don't look at me like I am crazy when I want to drink hot chocolate all the time (I LOVE hot chocolate). I love the way the mountains look. I love wearing sweaters and knowing it is for good reason (not just that the air conditioning is too cool for me.) I love the sun not rising so early in the morning that it wakes me at 6am EVERY day. I love the fall decorations. I love getting ready to start the fireplace. The only thing I don't love about Autumn is that it is usually WAY to short. The transition seasons never last long enough. I am going to enjoy while I can.
