What a busy day! I went with Elizabeth & her family to see the lighting and table settings for the wedding. It was nice, but the napkins were weird. It looked like they were thrown on the table. They were folded in half then half of the napkin was hanging off the table while the other half was on it. Mrs. Scadden and I agreed we didn't like them, but Eliz didn't really seem to care. That works! Then after that...Panera..went to CSU for CH. 3 election night orientation...hung out with Lindsay...and worked til 9:15. It was pretty slow, but got a lot of stuff done. I didnt see too many weirdos out luckily. Mannequins are hard to undress tho...man..they're stiff!
Oh the other day when I was in Kids, this little boy (about 6?) pointed to a girl's shirt that was blue but had the word LO on top and VE on the bottom. Well he asked what it said. I spelled it out and told him to bring the VE to the LO. Well apparently I think most kids should know how to read. Boy am I WRONG. So he said, "America?" I said, "no." I tried again..same answer.."America." I finally told him it said LOVE. It was kinda funny but I think the reason he said America b/c the shirt was navy with red lettering. Who knows? Poor kid.......
Ok, ok..one more story...this lady goes into the fitting room and tries on some pants which have the lyrca spandex in them. Well she won't come out b/c she keeps on saying they're too tight ...blah blah...She's cracking me up the entire time b/c of what she's saying. Well I don't know what changed her mind, but she did open up the door, showed me the pants which were obviously TOO TIGHT...eek..and showed me where a seam splitted by her knee. She kept repeating that she 'didn't do.' Maybe she didn't, maybe she did. I'm not sure. So I offered her suggestions and such then she's like, ' but I don't want to go to the 'big girl sizes' ie meaning sz 14.....well when she walked out of the store, she whispered to me that she got the 'big girl size' in a pair of pants. All I can say is 'go-her!' phew! People are hilarious! hahaha

So tonight I went to a retirement party at a church couple's house. I mainly went b/c my friend Audrey called me to go to hang out with her (hahaha), but it was a fun time. At one point Audrey and my friend aka youth pastor's wife, Lindsay went outside to Audrey's car. I waited a little bit and they didn't come back. Well I went outside in the pitch black darkness of a night and saw the light on in the car. Hmm...how should I let them know I'm there? Call them? nah..So I went on the passenger side where Lindsay was sitting and tapped on the window. The next thing I know both of them jumped forward and screamed their hearts out. Whoa! I got them good. After a minute of them breathing in a sigh of relief (well I don't know if they were relieved), they let me in the back seat. They were huffing and puffing with from their hearts pounding out of their chests. I got them good I guess :) . They said they thought they peed their pants..or almost did. I kinda scared them to death. It kinda was my plan, but I didn't think it'd be that scary. I guess Lindsay couldn't see out the window with the light on in the car so that made it worse. whoops.....:) yes I know...I'm mean haha but it was funny you have to admit! I think they forgave me b/c they still talked to me!

Alright well now I have some time to write! Last Thurs to this past Sun I was in St. Louis & Springfield, Mo visiting family and friends. I had such a great time. It's just so nice to get away from reality for a few days and relax. I got up really early... Thurs morning at 5:15 then my dad took my mom and I to the airport for our 8:35 am flight around 7. My cousin Matt met us there and we went to his/Lori's house. There I had fun playing with my lil cousins, Abby & Bella. We played school and with stuffed animals. They're so much fun and I'm sad they're sooo far away! :( I stayed there for a few hours then Don and I drove to Springfield. I was oh so excited to see Don & Julie! I've missed them soo much! Later that night we went out to eat at this place called McCalister's. I got a chicken sandwich with cranberry-like sauce...mmm soo good. I got 2 meals out of that. Later that night I went to Evangel's Homecoming pep rally. Julie's friend Amber was the mc and she was hysterical. I laughed through the entire pep rally b/c Amber kept it going. People played twister, there was a banner parade, musical chairs which ended with a pie in the face. Good times! Afterwards I hung out with Julie and her b/f.
On Friday I was excited to see my friend Jessica and her daughter Emma. Emma is so big! She's not a baby anymore. Next week she'll be 2! Wow...time flies. We went to eat then to the mall and walked around. Later that day went to dinner, a coffee house and saw a movie- Teladega Nights with my other friend Dan and his g/f. I enjoyed being with everyone.
Then on Saturday...slept in a little, listened to Evangel's wonderful new clock tower sing a song at 10 am, ate, went to the bookstore, went to the football game where Evangel "ruffled the ravens" (that's what Amber chanted at the pep rally) . Luckily the weather was really nice too. The game was very close at the end! Had dinner at Subway with Don then went to a haunted corn maze with Don's two friends- Bryan & Lindsay. Poor B & L b/c they were pretty scared. Stuff like that(haunted stuff) for some odd reason just doesn't bother me. I mean I just don't like ugly looking things. I don't want to look at them. They don't scare me, i just don't care for them. Now they startle me when one is beside me and I don't expect it to be there, but I saw a lot of people with chainsaws, they saw I had no reaction & wasn't frightfully clinging to everyone around me, so they passed me up. Every creepy creature just walked past me hahha..yea..:) I don't know. I'm just not scared of that stuff & thank God I don't get nightmares after it. I think realistically and I'm fine with that haunted stuff. We all had a great time.
Sunday was the sad day b/c I had to go home. Said my goodbyes and away my mom and I went......:(
All-in-all...my friends are so good to me. Very accomodating, fun & relaxed :) They spoil me too much!!! ;) I started calling Julie my agent b/c she made a lot of calls/arrangements for me with a couple other friends. IT was cute. Plus I can't forget my driver.....whewy...lot of driving around in Mo fo sure! hehe :)
I was back to work on Monday and it was nice seeing everyone again. Nothing too exciting has happened except there's too many people who want jeans all at the same time. That annoys me lol.

J.P. got kicked off Survivor tonight....I'm sad...*tear* He was a cutie! Oh well...there's still Brad hehehe.. :) Well I watched my tape when I got home from work. I worked 2-9:30 tonight and we got our new holiday flow in Kids. There's of course cute stuff that I like. At one point I looked up outside and saw a bride & groom running past our front doors. At first I was like 'oh that's cool, but then I'm thinking why would someone come to Crocker to get pics taken?' So later on I did hear that it was a photo shoot, then I spoke with a lady who was with them. She said they were doing pics for American Greetings for cards. I was surprised at that! The bride/groom almost looked too happy at times so that made me wonder early on. Well that explained it!

Let's see..what else is going on? Mainly just work as always. I babysat Ethan on Tuesday night and worked earlier that day...whoa..long day might i say! I didn't get home until 1:30 am. Ethan was a little fussy at the beginning, but then we were good and had fun playing. He's 6 mo. old now and enjoyed my 'woof, woof' and 'blub, blub' animal noises. He laughed out loud at those. This time changing clothes and diapers went A LOT smoother than last time! whew...I"m getting good practice at this lol. He's so cute and I forgot my camera, but I got 3 pics in my phone. Then after he went down (at 7:52!!!) I watched tv. Well a little while later Lucky the little black poodle kept on pawing at his empty food bowl. I ignored him, then the scratching noise got to me. I'd look at him and tell him to go upstairs b/c he had a full bowl there. Nope, he'd just look back at me with his beady black eyes and start pawing again after I turned around in the recliner. At one point he came around to me in the front, sat down, and moaned at me while staring at me. So what did I do? I went upstairs and showed him his foodbowl. Did he eat there? Nope. So I had to fill his downstairs bowl from the upstairs bowl with food. Dumb dog. He ate everything I had filled in there (apparently not enough) and then he started the pawing thing again. UGH! I told him to go upstairs. No. He didn't want to. So I rolled my eyes and went upstairs again, refilled his stupid bowl downstairs so he could eat. He was happy then! Ugh...yea ...who trains who now?? ARG.

This weekend is the zoo and I'm sooooooooooooooooooo excited! yey!!! :) Going with the youth so that should be fun. Last night PK said to prepare to embarass myself. Oh great. I love doing that so much.
