Utah Arts Festival!

I love love LOVE the arts festival! I went twice this year, and let's be honest.. It just wasn't enough! But I had sooooooooooo much fun. (: I went on Friday with Sam. (Adventure: We had to go to his bank so he could get cash. Ran out of gas. Walked across the street to the gas station. Brought gas back and dumped it in the car. DID NOT wait for any amount of time before starting the car and driving to the gas station. Car died again in the middle of the intersection. Sam jumped out to push, I steered. Lovely people standing on the sidewalk came to help. Got gas, went to the festival. (: Adventure.) We discovered Kevin Eslinger's work- which is absolutely fantastic! ( www.kevineslinger.com    Check it out!) I bought two prints from him, and then I got a caricature. T'was rather fabulous. We left a few minutes after eleven.
I went again yesterday(Sunday) with Lexi. That was also a blast! Aaaaaaand- I get to cross something else off my list!!!!
Strikethrough:
Flirt with a handsome stranger.
I flirted with the fella selling pizza, hehehe. (: Lexi and I were standing in the food area, debating pizza. I asked her if I really wanted pizza, and she started laughing and said, "Pizza guy says you do!" So I looked over, and the gorgeous man sitting behind the cash register was staring at us and nodding. So we got pizza. (: And might I add: It was totally delish!
Lexi bought one of the same prints from K.E. that I did- the cheshire cat, if you check out his site. I also got the Alice that's holding a white cat. (:
So I think I hit all the main points. And I can't wait for next year!!!

Gives Me Hope.

At work, a guy was buying some vinyl. 10 yards at 12.99/yard. No coupon, and it wasn't on sale. That's quite the chunk of change if you ask me. He got his card out and was ready to swipe, when a lady that was in line walked up and handed him her coupon. She told him she would only have saved a couple of dollars, and he could use it more than she could. So we used the coupon, and it saved him just over fifty dollars. He finished paying, and turned to the lady.
"What can I do for you?" He asked her.
She smiled and replied, "Not much, sir." The guy left, and I rang up the woman. She was very polite, but she didn't seem to understand why it was such a big deal to me. I honestly think she just felt anyone would do the same. And all I could think, as she walked out the door, was this:
Karma smiles on you.

Highlight from the Supernatural Season Finale (CAUTION:: A Tad Bit of Language.)

Castiel: Hey, ass-butt!
(Adam turns... [Well, Michael.])
-Woosh-
(Burning, screaming)
*Poof*
Lucifer: Did you just molotov my brother with holy fire?
Castiel(Kind of laughing & smiling nervously): Uhh... No?

Hehe.. "Shrooming" at work!

So last night, I worked three to close. We close at seven on Sundays, so it wasn't really a daunting evening in my opinion. Day shift notified us that we had been slower than a snail stuck in syrup all day, so the store was clean and everything was finished. Karen was the closing manager, Marcia was the Guest Service Lead, and Vanessa and I were the cashiers. Karen had me and Vanessa work over in seasonal. First we had to organize the pots, which is a lot funnier in hindsight! Pot, shrooms... Hahaha, get it? Oh wait, you won't get it yet. I have to finish my story first. (:
After the pots, we were doing "T" tables. They're tables near the front of the store. They have shelves and pegs on them, and they're filled with seasonal products. The "T" tables are the first thing a guest will see when they walk in the door, so we try to keep them lookin' pretty! One table had some gnomes on it, and there were no more of the same gnomes in the back. So instead, we found some stinkin cute mushrooms! And that is where the party began.
After we brought up the mushrooms, we realized what a silly mood we were in(we'd been laughing and giggling all day), so we blamed it on the "shrooms." We informed everyone that we were shrooming, and laughed our way through the rest of our projects. Everyone thought it was absolutely hilarious- especially Karen!
So that was my day at work.. Does that make me a druggie?????

Sun Factory.. Hehe.

So today we went to tour the Sun Factory. They had a huge carnival and everything. James and Rachel invited us. (: [Rachel works for Sun. She just works in the offices downtown. She always brings home new products and stuff. Sometimes she shares. (:]
Sun Factory produces snuggle products..

We got to meet the snuggle bear! Totally awesome, right? He was very soft and squishy. (:
I also got to hula hoop a ton! Except apparently, I was supposed to get my heart rate measured first.. Oops. :P But that's okay. She read it after, and I got a prize. (: A stress ball!!! Mine was red. Mom got a blue one, and someone else got green. I put mine in my Dad's pocket so I wouldn't have to hold it, and my Mom decided she should put hers in her pocket, too..














What do you think? Pretty attractive, right? That was actually the second time she put it in. The first time, she took it right out. But I made her put it back so I could get a picture. (: Gotta love my funky parents!!!!
After the tour, we got a little more food.. [James was still hungry, and so was Coby.] Then we were just sitting around at a table talking and everything, and Rachel decided she wanted to go down the big blow up slide again. She made Coby go with her..














That's Rachel on the left, in case you couldn't tell. (:

That was our Sun Factory adventure! No free products, but plenty of free fun. (: (:

What's your flava, babay what's your flava?

Better than sex cake... Yeeaaahhh.. Pretty much the best freakin stuff EVER. Thank yooou Maureen! :D :D :D
Aaaaand... ACTION!!!
...
.....
.......
Or not. No action for moi. Laaame. I am SO ready for an adventure!!!
Oh oh oh!! I got two phone calls today from an "unavailable" number.. They never said a word. Think it could be the beginning of an adventure? Only time will tell!! O:=
Le bus decided to detour to a completely different route through construction without telling me. Totally rude, right? I could not believe it. Thank goodness I was able to find another ride. After last night, I was not in the mood to walk to work!
What happened last night you ask? Well, I'll tell you.
We went to see Robin Hood (phenomenal) and got home kinda late. I don't think Izzy was very happy, because he got rather spastic. So I locked him up in his kennel. He was not going to let me leave him there all night, oh no, not that delightful specimen of royalty. So he banged against the door of his kennel. And Coby was inflicting some unimaginable form of torture on Oscar in the next room, so no solace could be found by turning that direction, as the poor pup was whining piteously. So eventually I took my comforter downstairs and slept on the couch. Lame.
So, needless to say, I was tired. Hopefully Mr. Izzers will let me sleep tonight..
Speaking of sleep, I think it's about time for a reunion with my old friend.
I think I shall return soon!
Goodnight. (:
