Some that makes me sad

Every morning when this alarm goes off, I am sad... No matter if it's Monday, Friday or sometimes Saturday.

And This place makes me sad/angry

Not only are they over priced, but the grooming salon and I are not on the best terms.

After injuring my dog twice, I went to another one, only to have them tell me that I not a wanted customer any longer. I KNOW it's not because of my dog because he is the BIGGEST pansy known to man. So I guess they must not like dealing with me. OH WELL.

Their LOSS!!

Cirle

This is my most favorite cirlce I own and wear. I'm always reminded of amazing things whenever I look at it.

1 pm

This is my desk at work, 

Yes my friends, I worked today 6-2:30

Yay ME!!

Somewhere I Went Today (Yesterday)

Other than work and home, I went to Costco.

But only to pick up pictures I ordered.

Going to Costco for anything else with the beloved snowbirds in town is just flat out dangerous!

BLACK AND WHITE

My heart melts for ANYTHING and EVERYTHING 

black and white!!!!!!!

From Pitchers

To serving platters

Picture Boards and Wall Crafts

Zebra Pillows

Zebra Pictures

Zebra Picture Frames

A Zebra Ottoman

My favorite plaque

And of course the Salt Lake Temple

My list could go on, and on, and on, and on...you get the idea

I wear black and white, I decorate black and white, I eat black and white

I LIVE BLACK AND WHITE

I LOVE BLACK AND WHITE

Looking Down

I looked down and this is what I saw...

If I was more creative or less tired, I might try to change it up or make it fancy, but this will have to do.

End of the month is CRAZY and HECTIC at my job and to make life more interesting, Jeff is out of town until Sunday night.

I hate admitting it, but I sleep even worse when he's not home, so...

WISH ME LUCK!!

This end of the week might do me in.

However,  I just sneaked a peak at tomorrow's category, and it's black and white...
EEK, my house is full of fun things black and white.

Something I'm Grateful For

 I know I always use Jeff as my thankful but,

I am SO incredibly lucky to have this man by my side each and every day.

He has blessed my life in so many ways and I thank my Heavenly Father everyday that Jeff was meant to be mine!

There is NEVER a dull moment when Jeff is around!

Vegetable

I must say that these are at the top of my list for favorite vegetables.

I could eat them cooked or raw.

Tonight they are being used to make my dinner for tomorrow,

Crock-pot Pork Tenderloin...

The Last Thing I Bought

A nice big, cold Diet Coke to make it through my Saturday...I wish it was okay to buy them on Sundays too!

Bottle

This is one of my all time favorite bottles.

I use it, abuse it, and LOVE it.

Something I Drew

Lately it feels like I always draw the short straw...

Orange

Today is a tough one...

But I promise, come Halloween time I will be making this little "orange" gem!!

Hair

HAIR!

I have a love/hate relationship with my hair.

The only thing I really hate is that there isn't a whole lot of it.

My sister on the other hand, got 4 heads of hair and I think it multiplies every time I see it.

However I do love that I can pull off different colors, styles and lengths because I get bored pretty easily.

Long and Highlighted

Short, Straight/Curly Highlighted

Short and Dark/Curly

But right now I am really feeling this length and color.

However I do wish that someone could style it for me everyday, because it takes a long time, and I am pretty impatient...

Something I Don't Like

This is an easy one for me:

PICKLES!!!

Most people think I'm crazy but I HATE PICKLES.

I have tried them a thousand times but they always taste the same, GROSS!

(SO TRUE)

I LOVE Cucumbers, but hate pickles.

Flower

My favorite flower is the Calla Lily

To me there is no other flower as beautiful and divine as this one

My dad has one planted in his GORGEOUS garden and it makes my little heart melt every time I see it.

It was even the flower of choice when I got married

Stairs

If I ever live in a house that has stairs, I just might paint them too!!

Crockpot Chicken Cordon Blue

1 can cream of chicken Soup

1 Cup Milk

6 chicken breast halves

Sliced Deli Ham

Sliced Swiss Cheese

1 box Stove Top Stuffing Mix

1/4 cup Butter (Melted)

Mix the can of soup and milk, once mixed, fill the bottom of the crock-pot

Next place your chicken into the soup mix

Layer Ham and Cheese onto each chicken breast (As much or as little as you want)

Sprinkle the Dry Stuffing mix over the top

Drizzle the melted butter over the stuffing.

Cook on High for 2-3 hours or Low for 4-6

And Ooh La La, it is done!

I love recipes you can just dump in a pot and hit start.

Enjoy!

Where I ate Breakfast

If I ever ate breakfast I would hope it would not be from QT...

However, I have been getting my daily pick me up at my friendly QT every morning before starting my work day.

Cold

The only thing "cold" in my neck of the woods is my freezer...

Don't judge me...I have a small obsession right now

Younger Me

OK People

I'm gonna be brave and show you the real me as a young tike... Oh Boy

I am pretty sure this is my first birthday, maybe my second. And yes, this is a real old school Polaroid, no photo shop here

I have NO clue how old I am here but this is my mom, my sissy and me and some kind of mommy daughter date at the church

This is one of my senior pictures that adorned my Daddy's office until the day he retired.

This was me at 18? Trying out at Superstition Springs mall to be the NEXT AMERICAN IDOL...

As you all can tell, that went nowhere but it's fun to document

And this is me at 20? I believe, at Temple Square...

So there you go...NO laughter please...

Inside of my wallet

Pretty boring, basic stuff...

But This my friends, is my favorite part. My change pocket, this is where my sneaky soda money comes from.

An NO, I have NO SHAME in paying in change at QT.

They know me SO well by now it's expected

Shadow

Yup, I actually took a picture of my own shadow.

I was going to try and come up with some cute and different thing to post, but this is all I got.

Lunch

If you'll notice there's no picture, that's because I forgot to take a lunch today...

Worked straight through the darn thing.

Oh well, better luck next time...

Tiny

This little guy needs to be my good luck charm.

I just know if I were to have this, I would have the best luck all around

Apologize

I need to apologize for my negativity of my last post, I let my feelings of my day cloud my judgement in what I posted. I am Happy, I am Blessed, I have so many incredible blessings and people in my life that bring me more happiness than I ever dreamed.

I am trying to be positive in my posts here because I have been to before people are worried about my negativity.

I am happy. I blessed, but I do know that its okay to have bad days and hard days. But those don't replace the happiness inside my heart.

So I'm sorry for being Debby Downer.

Someone who makes you Happy

Some days I struggle to find things that make me happy, everyone is allowed bad days right?

Some days I have to focus on the very fact that I am still alive and breathing to make me happy.

But most of the time, remember I am an aunt to some pretty amazing kiddos:

Kleiner Side

Johnson Side (Minus a few need additions since then)

Of course my puppy makes me happy, especially when he does dumb things, which is usually a daily occurrence.

But most of all,

THIS MAN MAKES ME HAPPY!

Even when I don't feel like being happy, he forces me into it.

Mail

This is what my mail looks like, but my favorite kind of mail looks like this:
