Beeswax......

Setting: Work breakroom

Players: Myself, one of my part-timers, and two bus drivers

As I am walking in, the two bus drivers(both of which are probably in the 50's) are talking about marriage. One is saying that she has been divorced twice and blah, blah, blah.

Staff: I really want to get married

Me: Me too. My biological clock has been going on for a while.

Bus drivers: Well, you're not that old you should be ok.

Me: Hmmm...I am older than you think.

Bus drivers: Well, how old are you?(and yes, it was both of them asking)

Me: 36

One of the bus drivers: Oh, I thought you were younger than that.

The other bus driver: Oh, that is getting up there. You might want to get on that.

Me: (thinking things in my head that I won't say out loud)

The other bus driver: If you don't ever get married, would you have a baby on your own?

Me: No. I want to get married, too.

The other bus driver: (here is the best part) Maybe you should consider getting YOUR EGGS FROZEN!! (she really did say that!)

Me: (Pretty sure I looked dumbfounded)

The other bus driver: You should really look into that while your eggs are still good and healthy.

Me: (and that's when I flipped her off....ok, I didn't really, but in my head I did)

And, that is why what I do with my eggs is none of the bus drivers beeswax

My heart just can't take anymore.....

First, Brad and Emily announced they are splitsville. That was a hard one to swallow, but then...


Demi and Ashton decided to call it quits. My heart started to fail, but then.....


JLo and Skeletor have parted ways. I just can't take it anymore, who is next?


OH, PLEASE NO!!

p.s i may have heard incorrectly about ashton and demi. oopsies! let's hope this one is forever.

Cheap for cheeps!

This past weekend, I had my cute nieces with me. That's four little girls under the age of 10. Yikes bikes! Not going to lie, I was a bit broke, so I decided that we could still have fun and do it very cheaply(not sure if that's a word, but whatever).

Here is what we did:

Movie in the park (so, we didn't actually make it to this because my bro. and I were having a discussion and it lasted a tad bit later than planned)

Library

puppet shows at the library

Videos from the library

A visit to the Humane Society. Love this place!

A fashion show with my dress up clothes and halloween costumes

Picnic in the park

At home pedicures

Going for a walk at dusk and playing freeze whenever cars drove by

Standing on my balacony and watching the fireworks

Swimming at my complex

It was a super fun weekend. I love having the girls down and spending time with them.

Don't be jealous....

But, my sister's and I went to see Mr. Richard Marx in concert, along with my wonderful hairdresser. Yep, the last time I saw him perform was back in 1980 something. It was so great! The concert was fabulouso and I had a great time with the peeps I was with. Richard Marx put on a great concert. He was funny, his fly was down for a brief moment, and he NO LONGER SPORTS THE MULLET!! I really like all of his songs, except for the blasted "Right Here Waiting" And wouldn't you know that is the song he ended with. Blech!

The story of why I detest this song so much, goes back to when I was a young girl of about 14. My beautiful older (and could date)sister and I went to youth conference at Utah State. SO. MUCH. FUN! We met some really cool people and some pretty cute boys. Well, I had met one named Jason, that I thought was especially cute. Now, knowing that my sister was at the appropriate age to date, and that she was cute, I warned her that I liked him and to not flirt with him. Did my sister listen? NOPE!! My heart broke as I watched them dance across the floor and as Jason started liking my sister. boo hoo. It was just so sad and so dramatic. I was, afterall, 14!! So, I took a vow of silence against my sister. And, my poor little sister was stuck in the middle of it all. She affectionately calls that the "Summer from Hell" (that and the summer I couldn't stop talking about making a uknits jumper...member them?) I was so mad at my older sister. He liked her and not me. How could he? So, where does this lame-o song come into play. IT WAS THEIR BLASTED SONG!! I wanted to die or puke all over my shoes. Well, the guy slowly faded out of the picture, my vow of silence ceased(hello, I am chatty chatterson), and my love for that song never grew. But, the concert was still wonderful!!

The univited guest

I love living by myself. It's been really great. But, one thing I HATE is when I have creepy, gross things that decide to visit me. Blaaah....
I woke up Monday morning and went into the bathroom, I looked down into the sink to find this just hanging out....

Yep, I pretty much screamed and then turned on the water to drown the poor sucker. He started to go down the drain, but his creepy leg things were holding on for dear life. I gave them a little shove and down he went. It just gave me the biggest heebie jeebies. double yuck!

I was a backup singer for Bono....

Ok, so technically I did the oohs and ahhs with the rest of the crowd, but if he asked me to be a backup singer. I totally would!

One of my students told me that he is going to marry me tomorrow. Today, I am single. Tomorrow, a married lady. I am guessing that I will have to support the fam until he gets through first grade. So cute.

A kid that I have been tutoring likes to write things in the air. When I asked him what he was writing, he said," Stop talking, Grandma or I will shove a hot pocket in your mouth." Mmmkay...

I finally watched "Splendor in the Grass" and I really liked it.

Did I ever mention that I am now attending a mid singles ward? Well, I am. I never had plans of doing so, but it just felt right and I really like it a lot.

I met this cool, nerdy, awkward, cute guy at a pot luck and we chatted for about 2 hours. I discovered that he can fix tables, so I asked him to fix mine. It was my mom's and it is in pretty good condition. So, he came over, fixed the table, and then asked me if I wanted to go to dinner with him. He then told me, "I have a confession to make. I used fixing your table as a ploy to ask you out." I told him, "Well, it worked!" I am crossing all body parts that can be crossed he calls back.

Bruno Mars with my cute nephew is next Monday. I am pretty darn excited to embarrass the lad, but then he has hung out with me a lot, so it may not really happen.

When Bono kept asking, "What time is it?" I yelled back, "Hammer time!" It just seemed appropriate.

Race for the cure!!

This is after the race! Aren't we so cute?

Before the twirling, skipping, leaping etc. began. We had to warm up!

The crowd was so huge. I am always in awe of how many people in front of me and how many in back of me. It's just a sea of people. It's pretty amazing!

Right before the race started.

This pic is awesome! These cute boys wanted our tutus and we refused. This pic was taken when we were almost done. The one boy found his own tutu. Some dude stopped us to take our picture. Apparently, this picture was sent out to the volunteers. Yep, we are just that cool!

This was my 10th year running this race and by far, one of my most funnest (may not be a word, but totally appropriate!) I love that these gals run with me and for my mom.

But, I don't just run for her, I run so that others don't have to lose their moms too.

Join me next year!!

p.s thanks to Jenny for making our cute tutus.
