Shower Curtain Quest

Alyssa and i need a new shower curtain so I've been looking out for one but i decided to sit and devote some serious time and Internet searching into this and there is a serious lack of options in the shower curtain selection! They are all boring, hideous, ugly, etc. and it took me forever but i found 2 sets i think are cute, depending on what theme you like. I like a kind of Urban/ Anthropologie vibe so I like the one from Urban but the tree one from Target is simple but creative, and it comes in a set which makes everything better really. And it may look boring but you could make it fun. What do you think..

URBAN OUTFITTERS:

Not in theese shoes!!

It was a pretty rough day Saturday. I woke up at 6 A.M. to take Brandon to the airport, but who knew there were such great jams on the radio that early such as "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" by Whitney Houston and the Leann Rimes classic "Can't Fight the Moonlight". Two of my faves, and I'm not even being sarcastic. Probably that's the only thing that kept me awake. Anyways so back to the first story...

I was at work Saturday afternoon and I am taking a small Mexican woman back to the dressing room and she says to me, "How many months do you have?" and I look at her real confused and say "what?" and her eyes get big and she says "OH! Are you pregnant?" and I said, "umm nope." and she was so embarrassed but REALLLY!? I was wearing a t-shirt and a cardigan with jeans and sassy blue ankle boots. My t-shirt was a little baggy so I'm thinking she thought so from that but that is something you just NEVER GUESS AT. It's never a good day when someone mistakes you for a pregnant woman. Oh and I'm going to the gym every day this week.

A much funnier story though was the case of the missing leather jacket. We figured out we were missing a leather jacket from my department and i didn't think anything of it till the flamboyant gay Asian man from fragrances, Joseph, came up (we need a description here, he was wearing tight tweed pants, a wide red leather belt, a scarf, a plaid hat, a tight black shirt, and red platform boots, most likely all of this was designer, one of his many intricate outfits) and talked to me before we closed and said in his cute little gay Asian accent, "Did you kno i caught the guy who stole your leather jaackket??" and so he told me the story and i wish i could have recorded him telling me this. He said, "I saw the guy and at first i was just like oooh he's cute you know haaahaha and then i said okay maybe someone from the rack is helpeen him and then i saw heem walk past accessories and say maybe he not gonna pay for it so i shortcut through handbags and say escuuuze me! and he walk really fast so he start to run and i say essscuzza meee!! and so i chase him halfway to Carabbas and the whole time i was theenking not in these shoes! and then a big guy says is that guy shoplifting and i say yes yes please get him! and he was an ex-cop so the cop chase him and catch him! I know we not supposed to do that but people can't get away with theese theengs! I been here 15 years and they can't get past me!"

It made my whole week. The flaming Asian of Nordstrom fighting crime. Please picture this guy chasing a thief through the parking lot "EESSCUUUZZZE MEEE!!" Next time you are sad this week think of this happy little man protecting his beloved company. :) Have a great week!

Christmas in Review....

So as it usually happens I have a spare half an hour in between my classes, and I have run out of facebook activities and homework to do so I thought I would write a little bloggy blog, and also Courtney is probably going to yell at me again next time I see her if i don't :).

Christmas was GREAT so much fun being home, I only went for 5 days but it was still fun to see everyone. Aubrey and Andrew (my sister and her hubby) came with my nephew Ethan, I brought Brandon for a day, and my long lost brother Ryan and his fiance (now wife) Christina came from Germany!

They ended up getting married here too, which was very interesting but it was just nice to see them. I don't care what issues a family may have, in the end you're family and you just need to put it in the past and realize you need and always love your family. Anyways so being home was fun, all we did was play rock band all day. Me usually on the drums, Christy on guitar, and Aubrey or Cody singing, and then everyone joins in for a rousing number of "Livin on a Prayer". We pretty much have a family band forming, i'll keep you updated on tour dates.

After Christmas I had to be back at work so Brandon and I drove back to Provo. New Years was just okay. I always have such high expectations for New Years and it's always just O.K. I can't complain though, we just went to a friend's house and watched some fireworks, then went to another friends house to visit. Welcome 2009!

Since then school has started and i went into it thinking it was going to be an easy semester because i only have class from 10 to 4 on Tuesday and Thursdays, but little did I know what I was in store for! Apparently we are back in high school and we actually have to ATTEND class, what college professor takes attendance? Apparently all of mine. Oh and it's my second day of school today and i have to give 2 presentations already. I also already read a chapter and took a quiz, and read a news article to talk about in class. So this semester is not going to be the piece of cake i imagined.

Work is going pretty good too, we are getting ready for inventory which is always a blast (sarcasm) where we go around and scan every item we have. We are also going to be switching 2 sections in the store entirely so that is going to be a BIG change, but it will be good once everything slows down i think. Well I have to get ready to give my presentation in my next class but I will upload pictures when I get home tonight! Happy New Year!

Romeo loved his santa outfit! Okay actually he hated it. But how CUTE!
