EW YUCK!!!!!!!!

THIS is what was in my house!!!!!!!! Can you believe it??? EW! A while ago I posted a blog about a spider I found under my bed. Ugh. I LOATHE spiders. Anyway...this is it! (Gag.) Here is the problem though. I was outside watering my plants a few minutes ago and tying up my potted tomatoes (Yes, they actually grew in pots! I am amazed.) when I looked up on the deck railing and saw another one of these NASTY jumping spiders!!!! This time it was smaller and brown- but still very colorful and fuzzy. I tried to kill it, but it jumped into my plants while I was getting a shoe to smash it with. If it ends up in my house...I just might have to move. Ha ha ha! Why do we have to have such nasty creatures on this planet? :(

The Big Rock Candy Mountain

We spent last weekend at the Big Rock Candy Mountain (thanks to Uncle Rick and Aunt Maryann). It was SO much fun! It was so nice to get away from crowded civilization and cell phone service for a little r&r. We rode the 4 wheelers all over the mountain, ate at Hoover's (not Hooter's), and played lots of games. Here are some pics of the fun vacation. :)

The gang (Matt, Jen, Allie, and Matt) posing in front of the Big Rock Candy Mountain while on a 4 wheeling adventure.

The amazing Matt trickin' it out.

I know, I lucked out-- he's a hottie!!! ;)

More tricks! :) Aunt Maryann & Uncle Rick were nice enough to leave us two 4 wheelers AND the Polaris.

Too fast!!!! Me and Allie tried to take pics of the boys' tricks...but most of the time they were too fast and we missed them! :(

Paging Customer Service

My whole life I have worked in foods, retail, or been involved in supervisor positions. It's been my blessed calling in life to take crap from other people. I have been yelled at in the face by complete strangers (yes, in Deseret Book of all places with Mo-Tab playing in the background), had numerous people tell me they think I need to change my "Store Policies" (as if it is MY store), and watched customers storm off in disbelief and yell "I'm never coming back here again!!!" because of something I have just told them. I have been called multiple names, and have had soups and sandwiches thrown back in my face with shouts of, "This is disgusting, I want a refund!" (of course, they waited until they ate 3/4 of the food until complaining...idiots)...that's just to mention a few. Despite dealing with all the crazies and taking all of their crap, I have remained calm and kept a smiling face. Well, today I FINALLY got to play the other part, and it felt SO GOOD. I think it released years of pent up rage, and I can't even begin to explain how much I loved it! I think I may play the "crazy customer" again sometime... :)
