Saturday

Robin, good luck tomorrow, I am sure that you will do awesome. My day was good. I went to the bank, then I went and got my licence plates for my car. I also went grocery shopping. Right now I am trying to get all my laundry done. I am lacking motivation but since it is a holiday week I have to get it done if I want clean clothes to wear. I was good and cleaned my kitchen today. I scrubbed the floor and everything. It looks very nice if I do say so myself. I am excited for Thanksgiving. Well I hope that everyone had a great Saturday. Love ya BYE

bag

So today I went to the Imats to see the Beauty competition. The girl in my class got third place so that was fun. The girl that won was pretty cool. Tomorrow its my turn. ahhhh I wasn't nervous till they did the beauty show today. They gave us lamented name tags to get in both days and my name was printed on it. so its official. I just hope its fun, my model is pretty cool so I think we will end up having a good time no matter how it turns out. I bought I really cool bag though. I was selling it to everyone that came in contact with me. A makeup artist designed it so it has all the elements that other bags are missing. when you guys come up I will show it to you. its pretty cool. anyway I better go I have to get everything together. I will try to send a pict. through phone when I'm done but I will call you when its over around 4 ish our time to let you know about the results.. :) have a great night

robin

Well we don't have too much going on just same old same old. I hope all goes well. Good luck Robin on IMAT. I just know you are going to win. Have a great Saturday.

foundation

So today was my fashion show. it was intense, the lady in charge decided to do a line approch. so one person do foundation, then one person do eyes, and so forth. So i was on foundation duty. ugh. lets just say i'm glad its over. The film went well last night though I didn't get home till about 4 so i'm pretty sleepy. Tomorrow is the Imats also, so me and the girl that is modeling for me are going to go and see the booths and some girls in our class are doing the bueaty section of the contest. So I thought I would go represent. Then sunday its me. I don't even know what i'm going to do. They don't give you the pieces until you show up that day and thats kinda the main part of the competition. So I have a few ideas of what to do and maybe mesh them all together well see. Hopefully something will come from it. Well I'm sleepy I'm going to hit the sack. :) have a great one

love you

robin

Friday

Well I made to the weekend. I am excited for Thanksgiving. It will be nice to have some time off. Work was good I got my desk cleared off having been in all that training stuff. Mom, I am sorry but I don't have nay good ideas for Grandma. Maybe you could just take her out to lunch if she will let you. I hope that you and dad have a quiet night. Good luck with the IMATs stuff Robin. It is getting closer. Well have a good night. BYE

Quiet night

Well it is a quiet night for me. I needed one of those. I have been making lists of things I need to do to get ready for Thanksgiving. To much fun. I am really excited for the holiday. Good luck Robin with your movie. It might be another twilight you never know. Well dad is going to come home tomorrow and Grandma Gumm's birthday is on Sunday. I am not sure what to get her. Any good ideas? Have a great friday.

LOVE MOM

Rules you can bend

Karen, you can have the Gathering Storm audio book. Just bring your MP3 up for Thanksgiving and I will put it on for you. It will be good to talk about it. Me and Mom had a really good time at the class yesterday, I will post some pictures tomorrow. Casey is done with the forest service. He is unemployed now. It is good to have him home. Well I had a boring day, unlike ever one else. It feels like a Friday since we sewed on Wednesday and Casey is home and Dan usually goes to Ogden on Thursday and he didn't go today. It really feels like Friday. I am excited to take Karen shopping next week. It will be awesome, freezing and cold.

done and done

Well I made it thru the dentist, but boy can that make you feel broke when you are done. i hate going to doctor stuff. I didn't even get to miss the picture stuff at work. They were running late so I made it in time for that. Of all the rotten luck. I also got my test taken and hey I am still going good. Now all I have to do is go and get my licence plates, but I am going to do that on Saturday. I at least get one relaxing night this week. Mom I will help with the Thanksgiving stuff when I get up there. I know I will only be up there the night before, but I will help you out. I am excited to go up to Logan, even though you are going to drag me thru the freezing cold in the dark early morning to stand in line to go shopping. I still think that it would be funner in St. George where you are not in danger of freezing to death. I guess I will just have to be tough. Well I hope that everyone has a great Friday tomorrow. Love ya BYE

shazamm

Well today was pretty crazy. I was casting and making molds. I hope it all turns out. the middle stuff is when it can all go wrong. well nothing else to exciting I am going to work on the film tonight. That is crazy about the asteroid in utah, the email rachel sent out. That would have been neat to see. Its been raining here so nothing but clouds in the sky. well i better run have a great night.

love you

robin

I am a quilter

We went to class tonight and had a good time. Effie the teacher was sick so we left early but I did really good. I am getting a lot better. This is a fun quilt. Karen your fabric looks wonderful. Now I have a bag out of Robin's material and a quilt out of Karen's material. I just have to finish them. Good luck Robin and Karen. All I can say is COKE. Good luck with your IMATS and Karen good luck at the dentist. Tomorrow is a quiet day. I am going to start working on Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow night and also get ready for the weekend. I am not going to work on Wednesday because the whole office is taking it off. Lucky me. I am going to sleep in and clean house for thanksgiving. 5 whole days off for the holiday. LOVE YOU ALL MOM

Early

Well I got out of class early tonight. We were doing child and infant assessments so i got mine done as quick as I could then I could go. I made it thru the last day of training. Yeah! I sat thru 28 hours of training. My head is fuzzing out with all the new information that I have gotten. The picture people didn't make it today, so they are coming tomorrow morning and darn I have a dentist appointment. I guess I will just have to live with that disappointment. Tom told Mary that she would have to stand in for me so that they could have one girl in engineering. I was good with that plan, but Mary didn't seem too excited. I also got a call saying the licence plates for my car are in. I may just wait until Saturday to get them though. I will have to see. Rachel if you make me a copy of the audio book I will listen to it when I am driving. Well I hope that everyone has a good rest of the week. BYE

it always happens

its amazing how fast things start to pile up. Tomorrow I am working on my film then on friday I am doing a fashion show then sunday is imats. whew, I signed up for the fashion show forever ago because I didn't think i would make it into the imats so now I have to do it. at least it keeps me busy. I casted my cheetah head today. Tomorrow I have to finish it then work on my shoe. Then I can start on the body. Luckly on monday all I have is my class so I can focus on that next week. I'm sorry about the guy that passed away. its still hard even when you expect it. I'm glad that your class is going well karen your going to be awesome fixing people up. I'm glad that rachel gets to make beautiful quilts. I don't know if its to stressful. But there is the company that makes powder puffs with cool fabric. I bought one. but I was thinking if you were stuck on christmas or whatever you could make me a cool looking powder puff. ;) just an idea. anyway better get going love you

All the leaves are brown and the sky is grey

I am sorry about Vickie's husband. That is hard. I feel bad for her. If she needs anything let me know. Robin, I am sad that you aren't going to be here for Thanksgiving, I will take a ton of pictures and jump on some people for you. I am getter really excited to shop. Karen you are busy, I hope that you are able to get everything done. I am really liking the Gathering Storm, but I hate Egwene. She is stupid. But the book is good and has made me happy a couple of times. I have four more hours to listen to. Karen when you have a free moment you need to read it so I can discuss it with you, I am about to burst. I had a good day. Work went well and then I went visiting teaching. I know the ladies now and it is fun to visit. I finished cutting my quilt out tonight so I am ready for tomorrow. I am really excited for this quilt. I need a week off so I can just sew, that would be nice. I set the goats up this morning with a water heater so they should be alright. I will check on it in the morning and make sure that it hasn't frozen. Well everyone stay safe and be careful. This is a funny website, it is just werid family photos. http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/

Busy Busy

Wow it sounds like everyone is really busy. Good luck Karen you are running girl. Robin you are also. I need some of you guys energy. I am going downstairs and work on cutting my quilt out. Tomorrow is class. Dad made it safe and sound to SLC. Guess what is playing in Vegas. Lion King. I think we need to plan a day to go see that after christmas. Well that is my great news for today. Vickie at work's husband died today. He has been suffereing for a long time. The funeral is suppose to be on Saturday. I am not sure how to work that one out. I might just have to miss it. Well not much else is going on here.

LOVE MOM

Here I am

Sorry I am a day behind. Mondays are just crazy. Today I was in training all day. Then when I got to my desk to go home I was told that the movie stuff that was done didn't turn out so now I have to dress up tomorrow and go to training all day. Apparently the are going to do the picture stuff after 4 so maybe I will just change at lunch. I also had to call the dentist to get a tooth fixed so Thursday morning I am going to get that fixed. I also have a test I need to go and take for my class, but I think that I will do that Thursday or maybe Friday. I will have to see. I did go and buy the new Star Trek movie so I am going to watch that tonight while I am working on my homework. Just a crazy week. Good luck with IMATs Robin. I know that you will do awesome. Be sure to take a lot of photos so we can see how it all looks at the competition. Well I hope that everyone has a great week. Love ya bYE

smooth

Well today I spent all day smoothing my cheetah head. Its taking forever. You think it would be a simple task but its apparently is not. Well I got rachels adds for the black friday. I wish I could go. No one has heard of it up here so its lame. But I'm excited for you guys to go you will have to take a picture of your loot. At least dad can breath a sigh of relief no new christmas decorations for the lawn. :) lol. I will put chester in a santa hat when I get home, he will be my decoration. :) well I better go. I brought my shoes for the chester to smooth all night. hopefully I can stay on task. have a great night

Monday, Monday

Well Robin will just have to wait until Sunday to get her $1000 when she wins. I am so excited for you. I just know you will do really good. Not much going on here. Laundry night. I did get a few squares cut out for my back. I am going to work on it again tomorrow night. I want to have everything cut out so I will finish the quilt. I find if I just do a couple that is all that gets done after the class. It looks so beautiful. I am excited. Dad is going to SLC tomorrow. The weather is suppose to be good. Not much else to report. Work was crazy or I might have been. I wasn't quite sure which one. LOVE MOM

its here

Oh dear the imats are on sunday. I'm pretty sure that I won't do that great i'm nervous. but it will be fun anyway. :) I asked my teacher about jobs though and he said I could use him as a reference so that is super awesome. I'm going to see who is at imats and then apply after the competition to see where I can get in. Well I got my photos today but they were taking forever to load onto the blog so I have them on face book so you can see them :) sorry. I hope everyone has a great night

love you

The Usual

Today was Casey's Dads birthday, so after work I meet up with them and we went to dinner at Firehouse pizza. I didn't get my usual and that was sad. We just got a big pizza and shared it. It was good but not as good as my ususal. Me and Mom will have to go sometime and we get. Casey wasn't able to come since he is in SLC. Terry joined this internet birthday club where everone in the club makes the birthday person a block that she wants. So you make everyone their block and send it to them but when it is your birthday they sent you your block and you have enought to make a quilt. It was her birthday a couple weeks agao so she was showing me all the blocks that she got. It looked pretty fun. Then I came home. I bought the goats a water heater and need to install it. I will do that in the morning so they will have water. Not much else is going on, I have to go visiting teching tomorrow and then Wednesday we had sewing class. It is a fun/busy week.

Time hurries on

I always liked that song. It does remind me always how fast things go. I had a nice weekend. Rachel and Casey came over tonight and brought tomato soup. It was really good. I got to keep the left overs which is nice. I almost won Caton again. It think I did win but dad ended up winning and it was his turn so he got to be first. It was fun. I got all my strips cut out for my quilt class on Wednesday. I just need to cut out the back now. It is going to be beautiful. I am excited. Karen's fabric will be beautiful. Well if you think St. George is cold all I can say is bring lots of coats because it is freezing up here. I can't believe that next week at this time Robin will have won IMAT. I am so excited for her. You are so good. Have a great week.

LOVE MOM

No animals for me

Well I had no interactions with any kind of animal today. For visiting teaching we got together at Jana's house at 11 and had brunch. I brought the bacon and orange juice. I even manage to cook the bacon long enough so that it was crunchy. Church was good even though it went 10 minutes over. It was chilly here all day. I had to wear a jacket all day today when I went out side. Pretty soon you will be able to see your breath in the mornings. Well other than that I haven' done too much so BYE

Thats right I'm a penguin

So today they had a christmas parade. I caught the middle of it since it started while I was in church. But it was right in front of my apartment so i just watched from my window. I've never seen so many kids in toronto, it was fun. There was this one section though and a girl was dressed as a penguin everyone else was dancing and being goofy, she just stood there. her expression was like ," i can't believe my life has come to this" it was so funny it made me laugh. but they had santa come at the end and everyone cheered and got all excited. any way that was my big thing for the day. have a great one

Frozen Water

We didn't get any snow in clifton but everywhere else we went to yesterday did. The goats water froze though, tomorrow i am going to but them a heated water bowl. The goats are doing good even in the cold. They are really fat and cute. We had a really good day ysterday. Casey taught his bike class and he drove me to Logan and droped me off at Mom and Dads. We went to Kolhs and got my watched resized and then we were off to SLC. Me and Vickie went and saw The Men Who Stare at Goats. My goats were a lot cuter than those used in the film and I think that they would be god moive stars. The moive was good, it was really dry and I liked it. We went back to Logan and Casey came over and we ate dinner at the Olive Garden. It was really good. We were able to watch the new blue ray and it was realyl nice. I think that you really need one Karen, it makes a big difference and would be great on your TV. Church was good adn went fast. Casey is making a fire. He loves the billows and has used them a lot. I really like your Cat Robin, that is amazing. You are good.
