Tomorrow is Another Day

Here I go with two posts in one day. I can't believe it either!!

No work today so I thought I should actually get some stuff done around the house. I did not do much this weekend, so I got some laundry done. That is something. Like Scarlett said, tomorrow is another day!

I did some shopping in little Tooele. I went to one of my favorite stores, Homebodies. Such a cute store and the nicest woman that owns the shop. I picked up a few things. Whenever I go there, I can't help but get a few things. If you are ever in Tooele, you should go, it is a great place.

Also I went to another shop that right downtown. It is "Sweet Lizzies." I had not been there before but wow, it is great. It is a candy store like no other. Or at least I haven't been to a candy store like that in a long time. (Which is a good thing, by the way!) It is a cute shop with candy that I had not seen in a long time. As well as some candy that I had not seen before. It is cool, you can buy candy by the pound or they have these great little $1 bags ready to go. I went a little nuts on the $1 bags. I got some chocolate covered Rice Crispies, chocolate covered cake pieces, chocolate covered mini Oreos, pomegranate Jelly Bellys(very good!), and gummy raspberries. I probably should not go there too often!!

Here is my yuck moment of the day... I am online in the dating world. (A lot of good it does me! (sarcasm)) I am online on Plenty of Fish (it is free and the name is great) and I am on e-Harmony. I go to check my e-mail today and I see that I have a message/flirt on Plenty of Fish. It is one of those, this guy wants to meet you. I have had a few of those recently and I have written the guy back without any results. So I thought I will write this guy. I thought, I will just see. I get a message back from him that he is still married and his intentions are not good! YUCK!!! I wrote him back to say that I was not that type of girl and I could not wish him luck because I just couldn't!!! (Usually when I write back to say I am not interested, I wish good luck) This guy definitely does not need luck, he needs a divorce or his wife is the one that needs the divorce! That just makes me mad!

What would Scarlett say? Tomorrow is another day!

I don't know what movie it is, but other things come to mind about that guy, but I am not that type of girl! (smile!)

Until later...

2011

2011... I cannot believe it is here. I know you are saying it is the middle of January, Lesley, of course it is here. You have heard this all before, where does the time go and time flies... blah blah. I know!! I say it all the time too! I cannot believe it is the 17th of January. I haven't blogged in forever! A friend of mine reminded me of that a few days ago. So this is my start for the year. We will see how it goes. I don't know how well I am going to do with this.

I haven't really made any goals for the year personally. At work I have made some goals. I am having more team meetings to take advantage of the time and to work on training opportunities. I am trying to get up to date since the holidays. It is taking me awhile on that.

Personally, maybe this blog will be a goal. I am not promising anything though. (smile!)

Until later... I don't want to write too much, who knows who reads this? ha ha!!

Merry Christmas!!

I know, what, Merry Christmas! I feel like I should say that with the snow we have had this week!

I love spring with the flowers in bloom. I love to see all the colors but I also love to see before all the colors. I love to see those little plants pushing through the ground. This will sound cheesy but it gives me hope. If those little plants can push the hard ground and then come up so beautiful... what can I do? What an example of creation and that things go on. It is amazing!

March Out...

Well, I did a March in review earlier this month... Not much to tell really for the end of March. I am excited to be going to the Michael Buble concert tomorrow. That makes for a good end to the month, just in my opinion. If you haven't heard his latest song, "I Just Haven't Met You Yet" you should. I like to think of it as my theme song!!

March So Far

So far this month... things are going pretty well. I know it is only the 8th, but you have to take it all in stride...

Saturday I went to "Alice in Wonderland 3D." That was a great show. I was looking forward to going, so I was surprised to hear people ask me if I was really going to that show. I liked it. Kind of weird wearing 3D glasses when I already wear glasses but whatever.

Sunday I taught my Primary class. I got a calling recently. I team teach with another sister in the ward. That just means that we switch weeks for teaching. The week you are not teaching you are trying to keep the kids in line. Primary bouncer or something like that. The kids say the funniest things. Sometimes I wonder if they are listening at all and then other times they something that is so profound I am amazed.

Later in the month, I am planning a trip to Idaho to visit family. There are three birthdays this month, Mike, Dad, and Dustin.

Stuff and Stuff!!!

So many projects so little time. So much stuff how am I ever going to use it all? When did I buy this? What more chipboard? These are just a few of the questions that I have been asking myself lately. I have been working on my craftroom for quite awhile now. It is still not there yet. I am hoping that this weekend that might happen. I say that cautiously because I thought that a few weeks ago and I was nowhere near being done. I have gone through stuff only to find that there is more stuff to go through!! Yikes! Fill in whatever sound for screaming that you would like. I have been making do for so long that finally I was not doing any projects. After the holidays I just could not take it anymore. I started going through each bag one at a time. I go to do projects with a friend and then stuff just ends up in a bag until next time. I could take stuff out of the bag for another project day or I just get a new bag and put other treasures inside and off I go to 'project' again. So fun but it leads to me not knowing what I have and where it is!! I have taken things to the DI for the stuff that has not met the final cut. The Tooele Deseret Industries is definitely benefiting from this too. I was going through some scrapbook magazines and found a cute page element that said 'just hangin' out" and I thought I would make a card for my friend Jennifer that I love to hang out with. I scanned it and thought I could start a project blog. My project blog is lessoleesprojects@blogspot.com. At the top is the first card from my craftroom in transition!! Feel free to check out my blog, too!!

End of Year in Review

I haven't blogged in so long I feel I need to do a year in review or at least the end of the year in review...

December went way too fast! It was a good month. I love the holidays. My favorite time of year for sure. I know a lot of people say that but this year was really great.

Ok I may be bragging here but I got the President's Award at work. That was really incredible. The next day I got up early to go to the conference center theater for the meeting. It was a good meeting, they always do something a little more fun with Christmas at work. The power point went ahead by mistake and I saw my name as a President Award winner. I was surprised. Then the meeting got back on line and I was announced. I walked up on stage and then I saw my whole family except my brother, walking down the steps to meet me on stage. I tell this only because that was my best present this year. My family coming to support me. That meant so much! Shelly, Dustin, and Shane live in Montana. Chris and Brian live in Ephraim. Mom and Dad are in Idaho. They all made it. I thought I was going to cry. Right now I get a little teary. I did not cry onstage but I saw tears in my dad's eyes. Everyone at work was so surprised that my family would travel so far for me. I was surprised too and so very thankful. That meant so much.

Onto other things...
Christmas was fun. We had a houseful but it was still fun. We had a cookie fest, in Brian's words. Or he did anyway. Shane got a big green tractor of his very own. Two Santa Clauses came to our family Christmas Eve party. I played tech support for my uncle so he could get back on facebook! The John Deere book I gave Dustin was a big hit. Chris and Brian gave me too much stuff. Thanks though. I love the angel and the necklaces. I am still trying to figure out where to put the clipboard Shelly gave me. I got a snuggie from my mom and dad, or Santa Claus, whichever. I had a double feature day with Jennifer. We saw "Have You Heard About the Morgans?" and "The Princess and the Frog." Both cute, both worth seeing. Also went to Olive Garden with Jennifer. Very tasty! Went to dinner with Mary Jane and caught up. Still need to meet with Melissa for the gift giving!

New Year's... not so exciting. I worked until 5 then the rest of the weekend I stayed home because I was sick. The flu is so not fun!!

There's my end of year in review... looking forward to a great 2010. Is it twenty ten or two thousand ten? Or twenty oh ten? hee hee
