Friday favorites

I decided to do a new fun thing! Well, I do my Monday likes and dislikes...now I am going to do Friday Favorites! Ooooooo aaaaaaaahhhhh. Delightful right?
Oh, and this has nothing to do with favorites...but I think it's very important to mention. Does anyone know why the 'N' is in Autumn? Just for fun? Does anyone pronounce that word and include the n? I decided that lil' guy needs some acknowledgement...I am going to start saying the n part too. I don't care if people correct me or make fun of me! Screw you! N's need love too. Like how I call a knife a Knife (the K is big because I say it like this ka nife). ANYWAYS...........

1) A few Christmases ago...or was it last Christmas? I have the memory of a 102 year old woman. Jessie's Mom Jill bought me this glorious candle by a company called Woodwick. The only place I have seen these is at Bed Bath & Beyond. They are kinda spendy..the large is $23. I am in love. The wick is made of (are you ready for this shocker?) WOOD. Sooo, when the candle is burning you hear a crackling. It sounds like a camp fire. I only light mine when I am reading or in a bubble bath. I want to save it FOREVER. Here is their website www.woodwick.com. AND Here is a pic of one:

2) Now if you are not a cheap hooker like me..then you have no problem spending $23 on a candle. And if you are a cheap hooker like me then when you get one as a gift you save it and save it and only burn it on special occasions. BUT guess what? I found some at Walmart yesterday called Wonderful Wick. And it's like the same damn thing pretty much. I bought a 8 oz Applewood Spice candle for $5.82. Holy shit balls. Am I a saver or what? Walmart only carries like 5 or so smells...so I can't help you there. I couldn't find a website. If you want a variety of fragrance choices...get a woodwick. They have tons on their site. But if you want to spend $5 and choose something like pine, spice, pumpkin, or sandlewood..then go to Walmart.

3) Candy corn pumpkins are my fave. I like the Kroger brand. And at Smith's they are only $1.99

4) Burt's Bees chapstick. It's like rubbing a baby bum on your mouth. Wait...that didn't sound right. I just mean it's really soft and smooth and it's not like I have ever rubbed a baby's bottom on my mouth. GEEEEZ

Wedding dress shopping

Last night I took my step-daughter Jess wedding dress shopping. I want to add pictures of how pretty she looked and get your opinions...but I am afraid somehow her fiance will see. So scratch that idea.

We went to this store in the mall called Alyse's Bridal ( I think that was the name) and we had no idea what kind of dresses to look at. Jess had no idea what she wanted. So the nice lady eager to help us (hoping to get a commission on our purchase I am sure) pulled a bunch of dresses all different. We had ivory and white, we had satin, silk, taffeta, lace, we had empire waist, mermaid, princess, drop waist styles...

At first I thought a mermaid dress would not look good on someone with some junk in the trunk. And I am not saying that in a negative way. I love big butts and I cannot lie. I have a big butt and I love it. Jess has the tiniest waist I have ever seen and then she has some curves. SO I WAS WAY WRONG. Jessie tried on this lace mermaid dress and it was like the tailor specifically made it for her. It fit her like a glove. She looked gorgeous! After I got over the shock of seeing my lil' cub in a freaking wedding dress...I was doing alright. But it freaked me out!!!!!!!!!

She tried on about 15 dresses from two different stores and we just kept thinking about number 1. Nothing even came close. I am pretty positive she is going to get married in that dress. She will be the prettiest bride ever.

Now I wanna marry Ryan again and get to be all gorgeous in a new wedding dress. Maybe our 10th anniversary...hmmmmm

I need help

Lately I have felt myself just going into a downward spiral. I fight negativity constantly, I am ALWAYS tired, stressed, and sluggish. I feel like I never have time to do the things I want. It like a never ending cycle...like so.

-Don't sleep well at night (wake up easily, not a deep sleep, can't fall asleep to begin with)...leads to
-Wake up late from hitting snooze 053106464 times leads to
- Not having time for breakfast except for a granola bar leads to
-Being hungry and over eating leads to
-Getting mad at myself for eating like that and feeling even more tired and sluggish
-Leaving work in a haze and dragging myself to the gym when I would rather be at home doing things around the house and making dinner. I am too tired in the morning to go to the gym because of no sleep...leads to
-Coming home from the gym with 321035406434 things to do and in a bad mood
-Barely have time to make dinner, shower, hang with Ryan for an hour, then TRY to fall asleep.

Then do it all over. I never have time for anything. I would go to the gym in the morning, but I never sleep well so I can never get up.

Here are my problems that I need your advice on....help me PLEASE!

A) My dog Molly sheds a ridiculous amount. I have to vacuum once a day at least. She gets fur all over everything. My bed, couch, carpet, kitchen floor, it somehow makes its way onto dressers and night stands...What can I do for this? I swear to God I am going to have a nervous breakdown over this. I am constantly overwhelmed by her fur and it gives me major anxiety. I bought her thinking she was a pure bred Great Pyrenees. She isn't. She is half lab and labs shed like a mother. HELP. HELP. HELP.

B) How do I get a full nights sleep without taking Ambien? I have tried Melatonin and it doesn't do shit.

C) What do you do to stay organized? Have time to eat good meals, work out, clean your house, do laundry, have time for your spouse, work, dogs?

D) What do you do to handle stress? I drink a bottle of wine...I don't think that is the best way or healthiest. It's fun...well at the time. The next morning sucks.

Last weekend was fun and crazy.

-My Mom, my sister Shelby, and I went shopping for things for Gabe's Beauty and the Beast tree. We found lots of awesome things. We didn't get it all because we wanted to check out all our options first. But so far it's turning out great. I can't wait to decorate it and share it with everyone.

-If you have not eaten at Mikato...you need to. It's in Sandy by the South Towne Mall. I got a Vegas roll and some kind of teriyaki meal that came with salad, chicken, rice, pot stickers, and tempura veggies. It was so much food, but so yummy. I was so glad I wore my stretchy  pants. I walked out looking 6 months pregnant.

-The candy corn pumpkins. I bought a whole bag of them on Sunday and they are almost gone.

-My lil' cub Jessie got engaged on Sunday. Her fiance Jerry asked Ryan for Jessie's hand in marriage on Saturday night. I think Ryan almost crapped his pants. She is really young...but like I have room to talk. I got married and divorced before I was 19. I like Jerry. He is really nice and polite. As he has opened up more..he is pretty funny too. And besides all that, he loves her. I can tell he would do anything for her. And she feels the same. So if she is happy then I am happy. She better just not make me a Grandma before I am 30.


Dislikes
- Kmart doesn't have their Christmas stuff out yet. I know it's not even October yet...but Festival of Trees is only 60 days away. I need to get everything asap! Kmart has pretty good prices on trees so I was really hoping they would have them up. I don't dare to buy something online and then end up having a Charlie Brown Christmas tree arrive at my front door.

- Stupid judgmental old bitches that stare me down at Quilted Bear. Yes, I know I have tattoos all over my arm. Heaven forbid I wear a t-shirt. I should of course cover them up as to not offend and appall these holier than Thou women. I just wanted to go up to them and explain that the tattoos represented my beautiful son who passed away. But then I decided people like that aren't worth it.

-Why can't bread be calorie, carb, and fat free. Especially sweet rolls. Why can't sweet rolls be like the most healthy thing I could ever eat? 

-Getting audited by the IRS AGAIN. This time it was because my idiotic ex claimed Gabriel for 2009 when legally I am the one that was supposed to claim him every year. He was not current on child support nor did he take Gabe once that year. Gabriel was my life from the moment I knew he was in my tummy. Idiot never saw him. Never was current on support, medical bills, or child care bills. He never took him on Holidays. He never went to school activities, doctors appointments, surgeries. He never took days off to take care of Gabe when he was sick. Idiot was the worst father. I thank God every single day for my husband Ryan. He was such a blessing to Gabe and I. So now I have to get all this paperwork from different places to prove I have the right to claim Gabe and idiot doesn't. It's not hard information to get. But it's a pain in the butt to make calls and go drive around picking up. I sent it all in today. So let's cross our fingers....and toes.

Festival of Trees for Gabe

Every year me and Gabe had a tradition. We would go to the Salt Lake City, Utah Festival of Trees. If you haven't been yet...you need to. It's at the South Towne Expo center and is filled with hundreds of Christmas trees and other fun Christmas things. There is yummy food, performances, and even a kids corner with crafts and fun games. Gabe loved all the music and yummy smells. We would always go to the craft corner and make something fun. He's made a necklace for Ryan and reindeer antlers for himself.  He even got his cute little face painted. As a yearly tradition...I carried it on after my sweet angel went to Heaven. My family decorates and donates a Christmas tree to the Festival each year in Gabe's name. We have done a Teddy Bear Picnic theme and a Gabey Crockett (instead of Davy) theme. This year we are doing a Beauty and the Beast themed tree since that was his favorite movie.

All the proceeds from the festival go to the Primary Children's Hospital. People bid on the trees and get to take them home. We buy all the stuff for the tree, decorate it, and donate it. It makes me so happy to do that for Gabe and to be able to share it with others.

If you would like to donate money to help with Gabe's tree...Ryan and I would appreciate it! It would help us, but more importantly it goes to Primary Children's Hospital. You can give me cash or write one of us a check. Here are some pictures from Gabe's tree last year.

Monday likes and dislikes 11

Last weekend was craaazzzyyyyy. Here are my likes and dislikes.

LIKES
-My best friend Cassie had her 3rd girl on Saturday. Her name is Tristan and I already am in love with her. She is so cute and I want to snuggle her forever. I can't wait to have another baby.
-BLT sandwich. I am obsessed. They are so ridiculously good. I am going to make one for dinner tonight and I am going to try to convince myself using turkey bacon will make it healthier and better for me. But I am smarter than my tricky self. See I know there is grease involved no matter what. And we all know grease is not our friend. Grease likes to adhere itself to my ass and thighs. But tomatoes are good right? Lettuce is good too. I heard somewhere that your body burns more calories digesting the lettuce compared to how many calories the lettuce has.
-Sizzler. Their food is so good. Ryan took me to dinner on Friday to a new Sizzler that opened by our house. It was freaking tasty. The steak was perfect and I got mashed sweet potatoes. I thought I died and went to Heaven. Although we all know if I really died I would be sent straight to Hell. Hopefully Hell has mashed sweet potatoes and BLT's.

DISLIKES
-I only have one because last weekend was pretty OK. The fat dirty old man who called me a Fucking Cunt at Maverick on Saturday. He was backing out from underneath the pump area in a Jeep with a huge trailer attached to it. He was going to hit my car so I started honking. He kept backing up and acted like he couldn't hear me. See, I love my car to bits. But I don't want her smashed into bits. So I got out of my car and said to the guy "What are you doing? You are going to hit my car! Quit backing up!" Instead of him saying something like sorry, he called me the worst thing you can call a woman. I am not going to tell the whole story because it would take forever. But let's just say besides the disrespect from my ex husband...I have never been treated or spoken to with such disrespect in my life. Let me tell you...I went ape shit. Ballistic on his ass. I don't think he knew what to do to back peddle after I lost my cool. I had enough restraint not to pull out his eyeballs and make him swallow them though. I told him he should be thankful my husband wasn't there because he would not have had any restraint. He said he wasn't scared and to call my husband. I said "Get out of your car!!!!!!! I don't need my husband! I can take care of you myself!" Needless to say...he did not exit his vehicle.

My Momma taught me right! I can handle myself. I don't need a man to protect me. And honestly, if Ryan was there...he'd be in jail right now. That man was saying the worst things you could say to a woman. I didn't even do anything. I was calm and collected until he called me the "C" word. Don't call me that unless you want to get worked over dude.

Fall is in the air

I love Fall with all my little heart. It's by far my favorite season and Mother Nature hates me and hates Utah. Fall is sooo short here. It feels like it goes straight from Summer to Winter sometimes. My favorite smell of all time is Pumpkin. And I love everything pumpkin. I even dressed Gabe up as a Pumpkin a few Halloweens. I decided to share with you some of the best pumpkin things and stuff that I wanna try. I am a way good friend like that.

-Nesti Dante Horto Botanico Pumpkin soap. It's $9 and you can get it at www.beauty habit.com

 -Glo Pumpkin Enzyme Scrub $30. You can get it at www.gloprofessional.com. I am obsessed with this stuff. It's way good for your skin and it smells soooo good. If you love your face at all then you will buy it. If you love my face at all then you will buy it for me.

- Bath & Body Works wallflower scent Pumpkin Patch $6.50 for a pack of 2. Ryan and I have cats. And the litter box is in the basement in the storage room. Even if we don't clean the box out for a day or so it still will smell so good because of this wallflower. I want to run down my hall butt naked and pretend I am running through a field of pumpkins.

-Slatkin & Co. Pumpkin Patch candle. You can get them at Bath & Body Works. They run about $20.

-Right now Ihop has their Pumpkin Pancakes!!!!!!! My friend and I went on our lunch break yesterday and we got pumpkin pancake wasted. It was sooo good. They even put whipped cream on top. Next time I am adding chocolate chips.

-I haven't tried this recipe yet, but I am going to this weekend. Pumpkin Pie French Toast

Ingredients:
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

3. Serve with maple syrup.

Reusing a gift bag

During our family reunion this Summer I went to this cute little antique store called Hidden Treasures. I bought something for my kitchen and the clerk put it in the cutest freaking bag. I loved it more than what I bought. I decided to keep it until I could figure out how I wanted to reuse it. Here is what I came up with and let me tell you...I am pretty proud of myself.

Ta-da!!!!!

- Getting on the scale this morning and realizing I've lost 2 pounds since Monday of last week
- The smell of my Folger's brewing in the kitchen
- I love when the stores come out with all the holiday coffee creamer flavors like eggnog or pumpkin spice
- Midway, Utah. I want to live there! It is sooo beautiful. I go there every year for Swiss Days with my cute little Grammie and my Mom.
- Saturdays at Costco. mmm I can just eat my lunch there

Dislikes
- Asshole bitch of a lady screaming at me at work over the phone. I was being respectful and calling her ma'am and apologizing to her for her own dumbass confusion. She was like "I AM NOT MA'AM!!!!! DON"T CALL ME MA'AM!!!" I could have easily lost my job over that one. I had to bite my tongue so hard that I think I need a transplant.
- Letting a dumb bitch like that get to me
- The headache I got from that call. I need 5 glasses of wine STAT

Bootcamp bullshit

There is this "company" called Groupon and they post daily deals on their site where you can buy a coupon or "groupon" and get a really good deal on different things. Like once I bought one for $10 and it was for $20 gift card at a bakery that I love. I kind of got screwed with that deal and there was this stupid stipulation where you had to use the whole thing at once. I like their cupcakes and I didn't freaking need $20 in damn cupcakes! Sooo I had to wait for a birthday party and then I used it all for a ton of cupcakes. I was not a happy customer stupid Groupon assholes.

About 2 weeks ago I ran across a deal they were doing for a BOOT CAMP. It was regularly $209 and they were charging $35. My smart side said "Heather don't do it! These people are totally thieving whores!" But my fat jiggly ass said "Heather, I need boot camp! I want to be nice and tight and have people bouncing quarters off of me!" So I listened to my talking butt cheeks.

After they gladly accepted your hard earned money they gave you a long number which is what you needed to reference when you called BCOR FITNESS to reserve your spot in the first session. I called BCOR and it kept going to a voice mail.I called about 10 times and the same thing happened over and over. It rang and rang and then went to a voice mail. FINALLY my friend and I were able to get someone on the other end. This lady answered, took my registration number, and told me the next available start date was 9/6/2011 and then she told me about 5 different times that I could attend. I chose 6 PM. She said the "instructor" wants everyone to be there a little early and they want you to bring a water bottle and a towel.

I was seriously so excited for this boot camp. Did I mention it was a 6 week unlimited boot camp? So, according to the schedule online I could go Monday-Thursday every day at 5 pm if I wanted to. Which I did. I wanted to experience this:

I wanted someone screaming egging me on to do more and saying stuff like "come on you pussy!" I really need that motivation during workouts. I wanted to have my ass completely handed to me.

About two weeks after I bought this once in a lifetime awesome deal scam, I got off work, excitedly went home to change into my gym clothes, and drove to the address I was given for the camp. I noticed right away something was amiss! Amiss I say! It was this tiny tiny gym in a effing mini mall. No grassy area in site. No signs. I was going to get to the bottom of this one way or another. I walked up to the door and pulled on it and it was locked. Some scrawny dude came to the door and I asked him if this was the boot camp. He seemed really confused and unsure of things and he said something to the effect of "yeahhh....sure.... well kind of..." Here is what I found out:

1. The gym had no idea about this "deal" Groupon thing until about a week ago.
2. They were honoring the coupons even though they didn't know about it
3. I highly doubt they were getting compensated for this
4. There was absolutely no room in that gym to hold a boot camp
5. I was not getting a free BCor Fitness t-shirt
6. There was no "friendly drill instructor"
7. The gym could "schedule a time for us to come in and meet with one of the only two trainers that worked there"
8. I looked stronger than the trainer
9. The trainer would just walk us around the gym doing machines and stuff in groups of 4.
10. I was not the only one who fell for this bull shit and you do not want a bunch of angry women surrounding you
11. The schedule online was crap. There was no schedule, no boot camp, no drill instructor, no nothing.

I was incredibly mad. No I was livid. Insanely livid. Groupon took my $70 2 weeks ago with the promise of a boot camp and I got nada. (I bought one for me and my sister) I thanked the nice little man for being nice and willing to work with this whole problem but that I just wanted my money back. So I called Groupon the next day and I tried to hold my temper long enough to get my money back and close my account with them. I explained to the girl who answered what happened and she acted like I was exaggerating and that something like that was inconceivable. She said they could refund my money in 5-7 business days. I was like "You fucking take the money out of my account instantly. Then don't provide me with the services that I bought. And keep steal my money for 3 weeks!!??? That is how you do business? You don't check with the companies and make sure it is legit before you offer these so called deals???" She was stupid and really had nothing to say.

I am just warning you before you get royally screwed like I did. I wouldn't trust either of these companies. I will let you know if I actually do get refunded. In the meantime, my friend has sent all of this to the media and she has already received emails back about it. Stay tuned....

Breakfast crockpot recipe

I have no idea where I got this recipe, but I tried it for the first time yesterday. Ryan and I are now obsessed. We kept eating and eating. I bet we would have been more comfortable eating it out of a trough. It's seriously sooo good. Here it is:

What you need
- 1 bag of frozen hash browns. I got a 30 oz pack and it was perfect
- 1 onion
- 12 eggs
- 1 cup of milk
- 2 cups of shredded cheese
- breakfast meat like ham, bacon, or sausage (I used pre-cooked ham cubes) If it isn't pre-cooked then cook it before
- 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper

How to make it
- Spray inside of Crock pot with Pam or something like it
- layer frozen hash browns, diced onion, ham, cheese over and over until its all used up
- whisk together the 12 eggs, 1 cup of milk, salt and pepper then pour on top of everything in crock pot

Cook on high 6 hours or on low for 8


Today I was thinking about it and it would have been so good in a breakfast burrito with some salsa sour cream! I will probably be making this again on Sunday. Get ready to have a mouth orgasm!!! Ohhhhh yeahhh

My head hurts

I like to think I know my way around the gym pretty well. I know how to use the machines, the correct form, when to workout, what to work out, how often, blah blah. Last night I didn't look like a pro though. I looked like a stupid little stupid idiot girl. Last night was a shitty workout night. I got my ass kicked by a machine.

I was doing back and I was using a heavy straight bar. I needed to change the weight and make it heavier for me and when I pulled the pin out, the bar came straight down on my head. It hurt so effing bad. I wanted to cry. But, instead I totally played it cool on the outside. I didn't even rub my throbbing head. I kept on going. Like the little Heather that could. But inside I was crying and I really wanted to kick that stupid fucking machine and stab it.

Then I was doing bicep curls and tripped on my pant leg. I went home. Being that time of the month I am overly sensitive and the gym hurt my feelings.

Anxiety? pshhhhhhhhhhhh

I had a pretty shitty day yesterday. Being a woman sucks. I would totally trade my crazy intense cramps and period for a set of balls. When it's that time of the month for me, you need to be aware that I am sort of psychotic. I am hysterical.

Yesterday I was having the worst cramps. To the point that I was nauseous. I almost went home from work. But, I toughed it out all day and decided to go home and try to relax the best I could. I am a clean freak. Ryan and I both are. We vacuum usually twice a day and I dust the house probably more than the normal person. If I get a drink and leave my cup on the counter for 5 minutes...I will come back to it and it will already be in the dishwasher. We are weird I guess. But my point is...Molly. We bought her believing she was a purebred Great Pyrenees (which don't really shed except for their Winter coat). Turns out she is half yellow lab (which do shed. a shit ton). So Molly sheds like a lab and has the long white fur like a Great Pyrenees. Ryan and I are constantly vacuuming her hair up off the carpet, kitchen floor, and couches. We have to change our sheets and stuff every other day. It bothers me, but I deal with it because I love her so much and it's not like she can help it.

So last night I get home from work and I am emotional and in pain. Pretty much right away I start freaking out. I for some reason felt incredibly overwhelmed and thought the hair and house was caving in on me. I vacuumed like a mad woman and vacuumed the couches and kitchen floor. I took Molly outside and used our Furminator that I bought on Ebay and started brushing her. I had a for reals anxiety attack and started just bawling like a psycho. Ryan called and I was crying and crying. Now, looking back, I feel like an idiot. But last night it was very intense ok? INTENSE.

I don't take medication SO I decided the way to cure my craziness was to drink a half a bottle of wine. Let me tell you something. It works. I was a little drunk and I completely relaxed. I got in a bubble bath with a candle and everything was A-ok. So the moral of this story is to just drink wine instead of your pills. Do NOT drink wine and your pills. That could be tragic.
