The Bad Day Blues

Ever had a bad day? I guess that is a pretty dumb question if you are lets say...a normal person! Hopefully it's not just me anyway. Sometimes you don't even know why it is such a bad day, it just seems its not your day. I also think they come in streaks...Mine is on day two. It is hard to be humble and think to myself that whatever kind of day I am having, it is probably not as bad as it could be, or as bad as someone else who is going through a rough time. Sometimes I just want to be selfish and wallow in my own self pity...who doesn't think "poor me" every once and a while right? Anyway, maybe I will try to actually think about why I am feelin' the "Blues." For one, the weather has gotten very COLD here and gloomy cold weather always gets to me. You know those days you are at work all day and look out the window to the blustery cold day and just want to be at home warm and cozy in your bed. Then there is the sudden realization that you don't feel as good about yourself as you did a year ago, or even a month ago! My bad day(s) also include the simple mundane things of life that just don't go right. For example, being at the checkout stand with definitely more than ONE thing and realizing you don't have your debit card with you (I never have cash on me, or even checks!) and you have to quietly say I guess I'll have to wait on this, while everyone in line is tapping their feet wondering what in the world is taking SO long! Then there is the realizing that the laundry has escaped me and I don't have anything to wear to work (or under the clothes!) when I am already running late. I can't forget the part when I stubbed my toe on my closet door, hard! Then to finish up the night forgetting to grease the muffin pan while making dinner, I am sure you all know how that turned out. Just helped me further realize, I am NOT a cook by any means. Back to the pity party part, hating my car cause it has so many problems (inside and out), including the fact that the heater doesn't warm up until I pull into the parking lot at work! Let's not even mention the defrost on that thing either!

Well for any of you who are actually even reading this sob story, I am sorry for the depressing pitiful attitude. Maybe I will try to end on a better note...
I am grateful for my family and friends, I love them all dearly. I am also grateful for the many blessing I do have in my life...even if at the time I am not focusing on them very well :)

Reba and Kelly!

Over the Weekend Kendall's parents made the trip over from Menan to visit us and take us to the Reba and Kelly concert! We had such a great time at the concert and even got to enjoy a little comedy as and opening act as well! Reba and Kelly were SO amazing together, I hope they come out with an album of their tour. It was great for Reba fans and Kelly fans alike! Scott and Cathie didn't know any of Kelly Clarkson's songs but still had a great time. Scott bought Cathie a Reba hoodie that she got to sport around all weekend; Lookin' good Cathie! Friday we went to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory and did a little bit of shopping for the upcoming birthday in the family. (Happy Birthday Heydan on the 19th!). The Cheesecake Factory was great, those of you who have been there know how good everything is! Though, I would suggest if you are an indecisive person (like ME) to allow PLENTY of time to look at the 20 page menu! Two pages alone committed to cheesecake alone! YUM!

Saturday we were able to just hang out and take our time getting ready. Of course finishing our leftover cheesecake pieces for breakfast! (I highly reccomend it!). We drove around Boise showing Mom and Dad where Kendall goes to school and other places around us. All in all we had a great weekend, so thanks Mom and Dad!! We appreciate all you do for us!

Everything Fall

This is my favorite time of year, Fall! I just love pulling out the sweaters and coats, being able to walk outside and smell the crisp fall air. Also, fall means the holidays are just around the corner. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's, all the best holidays of the whole year right in a row! I think my love of everything fall begins with my mother, she has always been big into the holidays this time of year. By big into holidays I mean, decorations EVERYWHERE! I would have to say Halloween is by far her favorite to decorate for. Last Halloween the young kids in the neighborhood cried all the way up to the door step with their parents dragging them by the wrist just to get the candy and force out the words trick or treat! I guess it had something to do with the fog machine, and freaky cackling witch and giant spiders and webs all over the porch. We were the family that had the Christmas tree out after Thanksgiving dinner! Maybe my love of everything fall also led to wanting to have a fall wedding.

All this talk about holidays makes me think about another subject, traditions! I am sure ever family has their own traditions especially around the holidays. It has been interesting being married for almost a year now and experiencing my new family's traditions. We haven't had the problem of blending them just yet, but I am sure that is yet to come.

To add to my love of the fall season, one of the best parts, all my favorite shows come back on! Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Brothers and Sisters, Gossip Girl and maybe I should stop there since I am already probably being judged! Haha, but I love them anyway!

All Work and No Play

Here are some fun pictures with people I work with. We get together a lot outside of work. Partly because my boss Ben is a music producer and has a lot of his artist playing at various things around town. Also because, well we just like to get together! I love everyone I work with, they all have such wonderful personalities and I love getting to know them more and more! As you can tell, it is really all play and no work with us!
