Summer time lovin 2011

Hey all you go getters
It's been a few minutes since my latest post.  I've been on the Go gO go GO! all summer long...
Starting June, Brandon and I spent every weekend out of town w/ friends and family, loving every minute of it. 
We spent some time in Cali for B's cousins big graduation day.  We beached, we ate, and we drrooooveeee....

                   Chandler's graduation dinner




                                                                                    The long drive home....



Junior and Carmen spent a week w the fam in UT and we had a good time....

         We had a BBQ at our place and Jr smashed Carmens masterpiece cake...

 

We went to the Art's fest and saw this fancy man


and we also pampered ourselves w/ pedis! 
(Brando wasn't cool enough to get one) haha...

We also went to the Martinez family reunion and my Grandma and Grandpa came, my parents, Jr, Carmen, Kiesh, Tikki and Brandon and Terence...Kiesh, Ter, Brandon, Leeser and I were the only ones to put up a tent and do it the real way, everyone else stayed in cabins.  Weak....
 We had a lot of fun!

We did lots of other fun things this summer and still have a lot left on the list.  Lots more to come with pictures!

Si vu ple, done mua, de fromage?

It's the only thing I know how to say in French... and I have a 1 in 5,520 chance of winning this contest.  What i'm trying to say is that...
I HAVE A CHANCE!   
You could too, by going here- http://ohhappyday.com/2011/06/goes-to-paris ...But just to let you know, i'm going to win so don't bother thinking you are!  haha JK.  I mean, someone has got to win right?  Everyone always says "I never win anything."  But 1 out of all these people (numbers getting higher) has got to be a winner, so I'm testing my odds  ;)

The "Perfect" Home

    So as I was vaccuuming my dirty apartment today (now spotless), I thought to myself...Ya know, as busy as I am, with one day off a week (usually), I can BARELY keep a tidy home. 
You know when you walk into some peoples houses and their house is always spotless?  I know you all know this.  Like, do you think that their house is always that way? Or maybe they refuse to have people over when it's even the tiniest bit messy?  Like, c'mon people, how do you always have a super duper, clean house?  Like, always?...There has got to be a "behind closed doors" look, because it sure as hell is impossible to have one of those homes for us!  We're lucky if we have 3 days of spotless.  If we only had people over when our house was spotless, then we'd have no friends haha.  However, that would be nice to "trick" people into thinking that we only live like that.  Let's be honest, it's a show.  You know it is.  And if it isn't...well more to ya!  What I don't get is when people have a kid, multiple kids, and still manage to have a clean house!  Brandon and I are are just as bad as having a few kids.  Good thing we're not at that level yet, not even close. 
Brandon and I work all day and go to school, by the time we get home, we are hungry, throw our stuff on the couch, put on some comfy clothes, make dinner (and a mess), and have a trail of clutter JUST from the time we step in the door.  After all is said and done, all we want to do is sit on the couch, watch some tv and enjoy us.  Mean while, this mess gets put off until tomorrow when we have more time.  Yet, "tomorrow" never comes and our house slowly gets messier.  We are pretty good at cleaning up a little, but I feel like with two of us, the mess multiplies, 3 times faster.  Today I started laundry and have 3 loads left.  Do you feel like you ALWAYS have laundry?  I hate it.  We have stackable washer and dryer and they are tiny, so it takes 2 cycles to wash all of our whites or darks when usually, you can get them all done in one.  On a good day (like today), when i'm able to wash everything, I then have a problem with not having enough room to put all of the clothes away.  haha...lucky for us we found a steal on ksl...
$20 bucks for this ugly little thing:

 that we are going to sand down, paint, and call it our new beautiful dresser.  I'm going to try and post pics and document as I go and then show the final product.  Yay me!
Is't it great?  6 BIG drawers...this is the answer i've been waiting for. 

Ha, maybe this will help piece together a more of a perfect home.


But most likely....it wont!

The Mc'Ds Drive-Thru experience

Creepy worker man: "Lemme ask you a question..."
Me:  "Yeah?"
CMW: "Eh, Are those real?"
Me:  Looking super confused and shocked..."umm.  WHAT? You mean my eyelashes?"
CMW: "Yes, they are real nice, and long."
Me:  "No, they're extensions...Not many men notice that I have fake eyelashes, but thanks."
CMW:  "It's because I like you" (Creepy smile)
Me: fake laugh... heh yeah, see ya later(never!).

A- Don't ask a girl if "they" are REAL, with out specifying what you mean first.  GROSS! 
B- and what if I did have fake tata's... and then he asked that, I would have not thought he meant my eyelashes and he would have gotten a real nasty look, and a coke back in his face.  ha! 

If he would have just said, "Hey, are your eyelashes real?" This convo would not have felt creepy(until he threw out the "it's b/c I like you", nor would I have thought he was a creeper, just a nice guy. 
Whoops!

'Note to self'

Funny story: 
So yesterday at staff meeting we were going over how to use an epipen if ever we have to use one.  The Dr was showing us and she asked if anyone wanted to practice on an orange or bagel (we get bagels at staff meeting) and an assistant decides to try.  So she does it like the movies, removes the lid and puts her hand way in the air and jabs it down hard into the bagel...which was sitting on a paper plate...which didn't stop the needle and stabbed right through the bagel AND the plate and right into her leg.  Pretty sure I almost messed myself b/c of how FUNNY it was!!!!   aahhhh... that was the highlight of my life.  Note to self:  Do not administer an epipen into a bagel swinging full force onto a paper plate, which probably won't end right.  LEt's just say she was able to tell us what happens next...


oh- and... I REALLY hate my blog and think it is so uncreative and can't figure out how to make it look cute and unique w/out having the old theme show through.  I don't want to put much work into this b/c it takes too much time, but I just really need some help trying to make my blog jazzy.  So, PLEASE... Help me won't you?

p.p.s:  Gentri did my eyelashes and they are my new FAVORITE thing.  tree, I know you read this and I have to tell you that I get a great deal of ppl who tell me how they envy my eyelashes and that it adds a sort "glow" to my face.  I think I'm great advertisement and just made your clientel go even higher!  So, if check her out!   http://www.gotlashes.net/

Hey all you gO gEtTeRs

Do you Groupon?  If not, you should... It's pretty awesome.  Groupon sends you daily email deals and they have anything from workout classes, food deals, photography stuff...Some way good, others may not interest you but it's free and it saves you TONS of money!  (Kinda bad b/c I spend WAY too much w/ them ;))  Anywho... click my link (http://www.groupon.com/r/uu5082739) and it will show you the deal of the day (I think) and show you how to sign up.  If you use my link, I get even more free deals so do it!  Over the weekend I bought a Groupon for Dash fitness... 20 bucks gets me 6 free classes and tonight I did my first one.  Pretty sweet.  Last night I bought an online prescription eye glasses, contact lens and  sun glasses for $50 I get to spend $100... Basically gave me 50 free bucks and not to mention I need new glasses DESPERATELY so I am gettin a killer deal.  When I first started I got an oil change and tire rotation for 25 bucks!  Ahhh... I could go on.  If you know what's up, just do it... ITS FREE :)If you already have Groupon then you obviously know my obsession.
