Long Hair

So I finally did it I have MERMAID HAIR... I LOVE IT!! I look really different but it is fun. I will post better pictures later

Hilarious Conversation...

This afternoon I went to lunch with my little brother, he is probably one of my very best friends but we don't get to see each other as often as I would like.
We started catching up on what he had been up to over the weekend, he went to a haunted house with friends. Said it was LAME glad he wasn't sober...
M: So Dr. Slaughter's huh? How was that?
J: Lame... even drunk it was lame
M: That is too bad, do you have plans for Halloween?
J: No not really just hanging out with Kris, doing what we always do why?
M: Just wondering... (then I tell him about my costumes and the awesome-ness that will ensue with everything going on this year)
J: Neat
M: Are you going to dress up?
J: Maybe... dunno
M: What would you be?
J: A junkie
M: Are you serious?
J: YES!
M: What would you wear
J: A dirty shirt...
M: HAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
J: Really what else do junkies wear?
M: I don't know... I guess a dirty shirt would do it!

SO FUNNY!! I Laughed so hard I could have fallen out of the booth!

Perfection... Absolute Perfection

Finally I found the best little Halloween Costume ever! I needed something that I could wear to the Trick or Treat Street Event and not feel whorey. (this is a family event) and I FOUND IT! at the only "Adult" store in Idaho Falls none the less.

We have decided on a theme for our RV which will be a lot of fun.... I don't want to divulge given that there are prizes involved and we are going to be the winners!! So the costume itself will have to stay a secret because it would be a total give away on the theme.

(PHOTO is the non-family theme costume)

But my other costume doesn't! Last year I bought the best little Referee costume at the Blue Boutique, it was on an amazing sale because the zipper wasn't working (even though said faulty zipper works just fine) So I got this little frock for 80% off. Why such a great deal? I think the lady at the register had the hots for the guy I was with but hey... take what you can get!!

I love this little outfit and need to find an event to wear it to!

Michelle and Brian both have the day off AMAZINGLY enough so I am sure there will be some Ziel madness!! I can't wait!!

Unfortunately my Stank friends will be out of town, they are going to Boise and will be at the BSU game, which I am sure will be a great time but they will be missed!

Halloween is one of my very most favorite days so I am so EXCITED for all the goodness going on this year!!

Complete Transformation

Again I am faced with the fact that I don't like my "look" rather than driving the 200+ miles to SLC to get Zachified I decided to stick with someone local and do something outrageous.

The last hair trip to SLC didn't start out that great ended up with a very cool cut has grown out.... well... WEIRD! and I find myself missing my longer locks, even though I didn't do much with them. I am hoping that today will be the day that I get the NEW hair I have been waiting for.

If only Holly would call me back so we can schedule a time today to get this transformation out of my head and on to it!! I can't wait to post the pictures of how great it looks once it is done!! Wish me luck blog buddies!! It should be FAN-F@cking-TASTIC!!!!!

Almost Winter Blues

Not feeling ready for the upcoming weather snow, ice, and YUCK I decided that I would go test drive some cars. Mostly SUV's, Crossovers, and Trucks why I feel like I need to cut the gas mileage I enjoy by half or more.... WHO KNOWS??? Not me it is actually pretty stupid!!
I forced Sam to come along because I like her opinion and she keeps me grounded in the fact that I don't need to spend $30,000 just because I REALLY like it! haha
So this adventure while fun, didn't end up with me driving away in a new vehicle. I think I have decided to wait until January when things have slowed down a bit and the 2010's come out so the 2009 models go down in price a bit.
I was going to purchase a 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe, a very cute green color it was used but barely and I liked it a lot. Then I talked to a friend who works in the lending business and she said DO NOT buy a Hyundai or a Kia (which were the two types of cars I had fallen in LOVE with earlier in the day) they don't keep their value at all and most people are ALWAYS upside down. Given that I am in that boat now I will take her advise.
So I am hoping that this little Toyota Highlander Hybrid will stay on the lot for me for the next few months while I wait patiently for the price point to be closer to $20,000. That is my hope at least but who knows I might decide by then that I still want a car... I doubt it but we will see!!

New Music

It must be the time of year or something but it always seems to be necessary to find new music right about now. It has been pretty easy given that all the TV shows I watch have had some sweet tunes, as well as the blogs I read.

So there is a new play list for my car and when I am getting ready. Typically I just turn on VH1 it seems to be the only station that actually plays videos in the morning but THE SAME 10 videos every day!

Annoying!!! Who cares if John Mayer wants to get stoned? Do it with the American Idol girls who need an SOS and can't live without some dude. I am over it!! The damn Mariah Carey Obsessed song puts me over the edge, I CAN'T STAND THIS LAME SONG!!
It is nice that I have this newly found play list to enjoy... I will post more about it later... For now I need to go get ready for the day listening to it...

Spooktackluar!

So for Halloween my company is going to be part of a really cool event here in Idaho Falls, it is called Trick or Treat Street. This gives kids a chance to come out and trick or treat without having to go door to door. Well kind of... Basically a local RV company loans out about 40-50 RV's to line the street and local businesses decorate them and pass out candy and a knick-knack to represent them.

Web Impakt can't really give away a website or custom programming that just doesn't make any sense but we will think of something fantastic we always do. But the great part about this is

1. I get to help with the decorations! I love this part!! (and work in the office for only a half day)


2. WE ARE DRESSING UP!! One of my favorite things to do is dress up for any occasion and this should be great! We have such a great crew and we will look AMAZING!


3. We will be next to the SRL RV! Which will be awesome! This is always a really busy event like 4,000-7,000 peeps come through last year it will be nice to be next to some seasoned veterans. (as seasoned as you can get given that this is the 2nd or 3rd year)

This will be a wonderful opportunity to be out in the community doing something fun! I am very excited!!

Massage

April and I decided to use the free massage gift certificates that we had... I am so glad that we did, it was very relaxing for the most part. I am not going to lie there were parts of this adventure that were painful! Mostly when she was rubbing my neck, its like she found the most painful point and just stayed there. At one point I did have to say "that is starting to hurt!" But the massuse was very nice and stopped applying so much pressure but didn't move away from my neck which I would have rather her done my hands again or something.
Next time I think that I will say... I don't like to feel like I can't breathe in or out during the lower back section and I stay away from my arms!
I really didn't like the arms, I don't know why that was so painful but it was super uncomfortable. But I would totally go back and do it again. I hope to soon, instead of a full body (since there are several parts of mine that are now bruised) I will go for my back, feet, and hands, but it was a very nice treat and I am happy I was able to go!

Law Abiding Citizen

April and I really wanted to see Fame... Yes we are complete dorks but we missed the last showing so I picked Law Abiding Citizen which was a REALLY good movie. I LOVE me so Gerard Butler and he is great in this movie. He makes a very good Villain I recommend that everyone go see this.
It is pretty intense so if you don't like that then maybe you should find another show but if you do this keeps you on the edge of your seat! It is kind of a DUDE movie though, the whole theater was filled with guys... I didn't mind THIS WAS A GREAT MOVIE!

Bobbles...

New thing to LOVE! April and I had a great night out on Friday, we decided to have some sushi, shopping and go to a movie. Sushi was wonderful I am so glad that she enjoys it as much as I do because I rarely get to go. It was completely DELISH!!
After dinner in which I wore this great little ring she just purchased. A cute (fake) 4 carat yellow diamond antique looking bobble I decided that I needed one of my own. So we took off for the mall, which isn't the greatest but Wet Seal does have some cute jewelry. I decided that I was going to purchase not only 3 rings but also a dress that I didn't try on. I should have it is super short and I don't know that I can rock it. BUT I ended up with 3 amazing rings that I am in love with. 2 from Wet Seal and one from Kohl's.
We had a great night! And I love my new found jewels! I used to be a complete jewelry snob given that I dedicated almost 5 years of my life to selling jewels... But now I don't care at all as long as my finger doesn't turn black or green its all good!
My favorite piece of the night has to be this round peridot looking gem that has "diamonds" around the center. April and I are twiners and I think she said it is called "Appletini" I kept calling it "Lemon Meringue" but it is GREEN not YELLOW... I will have to find a YELLOW one next!

THE USED!!

Sam and I had sooo much fun this past weekend but the topper was the concert. Unfortunately we didn't stay the whole time. We were able to get right to the front maybe four rows of people back and we got stomped. Poor Sam's foot was smashed pretty badly and she was groped by some bald man... WEIRD!
None the less it was a really great time... I have found a new band that I am obsessed with well they aren't totally new to me MZ has liked them for some time and told me about them but they are a new obsession.
THE ALMOST!! A band out of Florida that loves Jesus! I have been listening to the pre-release of their new CD on a loop in my car! It is very very good the full version comes out Nov 3rd. I am excited to download it.
I was so pleased that we got to see them and the USED they played most of my favorite songs and then we were able to meet up with Olyea and some other peeps from Jared. It was such a jam packed weekend!

Day to Blog

Sunday's seem like a good Blogging day.... I always seem to do the most updating on Sunday's granted it isn't as exciting as Post Secret but who really can compete with hundreds of thousands of people sending their secrets? NOT ME!
So it has been a busy week... I had a world-wind weekend in SLC last weekend. Sam and I had so much fun, but we didn't get the memo saying "Megan you are not a ROCK STAR" don't be fooled it is very very true!
Too many late nights but SOOO much fun! We were able to spend Friday night with Jeff, Brandee and Matt which was alot of fun! Saturday night was the concert and Sunday I went to church then lunch with Julie and a quick trip to Nordstroms for some boots, (that's where I fell in love with the suede flower booties) and then back to IF. It was so much fun... Just late late nights or early early mornings how ever you want to look at it!

I found you... Miss New Bootie

I want these SO BAD!! I wish that they weren't a 5 inch heel though, that is too tall for me. I am not a tiny girl that would make me 6 foot tall! But I am totally and madly in love with these booties... Gonna have to hunt for them somewhere else in the weberverse to see if I can get a better deal!

Wednesdays are a bad day to stay home sick

So I started to feel ill yesterday around 3:00 I thought that maybe I had caught the flu that is going around not only my office but everywhere I turn. Thankfully I don't think that I have, I think I just have like a 24 hour bug or something. I am feeling a little better this afternoon after spending the bulk of the day in bed.
Today was a pretty busy day at work though there are several projects near completion and more that are in the pipeline or just starting. This is good but has been difficult given that I need to SELL more! Lindsey is giving me a run for my money this month and I really want to continue with my streak of high selling months. SO I am going to again damn near over dose on over the counter meds to be up for a very productive selling day tomorrow!

Swine Flu

So it is official, someone in my family has become a statistic! My older brother has the swine flu! No joke not only did he nearly brake his back earlier last month but he now has the swine flu. A little crazy but at least I don't see him often or my niece which is very sad. My mom can't risk getting the virus so she will have to stay away from them. Too crazy though, I do joke about it a lot every time I get a tummy ache which is often but I think that I will stop it has hit way too close to home.

I want a New Car...

It has been proven to me OVER and OVER and OVER that the little Hybrid is an evil force in my world I HATE that little car! It has defied me more than once I am going to go into a beloved bullet point list about the evil this car has put me through.

• Parking brake not pulled in 2006, in front of a friends apartment on a small incline. SMASH into another little Honda who's owner insisted it was a hit and run. LAME my car was still attached to hers. Yes I am going to leave my 20,000 investment in pain attached to yours and hoof it home to T-ville NO WAY $6000.00 in damages between both cars. OUCH
• 2 months later, some serious confident driving (people who know me understand "confident" driving) all the way to South Ogden to the then boyfriends apartment. In the AM his friend comes in... "Don't you have a little Honda Hybrid? Well it has rolled into a poll and is jacked up" Damn it!! another faulty parking technique on my part the stupid parking brake needs to pull itself... Confident driver yes confident parker no!! $2500.00 in damages.
• A year later... Its pouring rain, and I just found out the most recent bf has a WIFE yes a wife who has called me to tell me what a great person I am... yes this was an awesome conversation that ended with me rear ending a silver Toyota Tacoma, thankfully there was no damage to the truck but almost $1500 damage to my car! UGG!! (BTW I had no idea that this guy was married. I had even been to his house on more than one occasion and there was no reminance of wife. She had moved out almost 6 months earlier and took all his money to buy herself a new rack and I don't mean for her ski's)
• On a visit staying at friends someone smashed out a window in the little beast and stole all of my CD's (yes I am lame and still owned CD's) Ten years of collecting down the freaking tubes.. what idiot steals CD's there is nothing you can do with nearly 200 used disks of music that few have heard of or would even like. Thankfully someone replaced the lot with a sweet mix on my birthday that was only weeks away. Which is kind of a consolation but I wish I still had some of the originals. $300 to replace the window and a missing piece of my soul with the stolen CD's.
• Fast forward 2 years from the first escapade in parking malfunction. Another venture in confident driving... CRUNCH into a Teal car which was parked... only minor scratches on it so the owner said not to worry. $500.00 in damage
• 4 months later just long enough to for all of the accidents to fall off of my insurance I am stupid and back up into a big cement beam in an underground parking lot... THAT THING CAME OUT OF NO-WHERE! This was just me being an idiot there was no confidence in this maneuver just pure stupidity. Yet another bumper that needs to be replaced upwards of $2000 in damages.
• Driving down N. Temple going to my Monday night book club, in a rush because I am running late.... Not paying attention and the woman in front of me slams on her brakes. CRUNCH no damage to my car but there are two little licence plate bolt marks on her car. OF COURSE lets call the cops it is HUGE deal!! $500 in damages to her car.
• Driving down State street to get to a job interview, at this point I have decided the temp job was not going to work out so I was interviewing at a Bank. I am turning left onto 400 S from State and the Van in front of me decides he no longer wants to turn but go straight so he is going to BACK UP!! I honk he doesn't notice... SMASH, CRUNCH... this BUCKLES my hood! GOOD GOD MAN!! I can't win!! But thankfully this wasn't my fault but another $2500 in damages!

I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE THIS CAR!! It is the biggest pain in the neck!!!

So now that I have turned over a new leaf and am fiscally responsible with a good credit score (all of my bills are paid off except one medical bill and the stupid car) and a savings account that isn't laughable I don't know what I want to replace the demon seed I am driving around.

Thoughts? Suggestions? I wish there was something that came with a bubble around it or a driver so I wouldn't have to worry about any more issues with me behind the wheel, or not given that most of the issues had to do with my skilled parking jobs!

Iphones HATE ME!!

I don't know why last year I felt it completely necessary to buy an Iphone, but I did... and for the most part I have loved it. Until the day I dropped mine on the concrete on Rio Grande, cracking the touch screen. Which wouldn't have been so bad if I wouldn't have then dropped it again on the hardwood floor of my apartment shattering most of the top of the screen. It was still functional so I didn't replace it until months later. Well the replacement phone, yes phone not screen was then dropped again (not by me this time but could have just as easily been me) and is cracked again! GRRR!! This is so frustrating, but I am hoping that in my adventure to SLC this next week will mean that I will get another replacement. Apple store here I come!

I AM SO EXCITED!!!

So for my little sister's birthday I decided to do something a little different, rather than buying her tons of booze like you typically would for a 21st. I decided a concert was in order!! I am so pumped to go see the USED!!

Yes I know that they are a little EMO but I don't care! I have loved them for years and am so excited to take Sam to her first real concert and have it be a band we both love. It will be so much fun! We are going next weekend and somewhere in the mix going to fit in a haunted house! Hooray two of my favorite things... Music and Haunted houses... So any SLC peeps if your interested we will be there October 10th and 11th if you would like to get together a midst the madness it will be fun!!!

We both can't wait for Bert and the gang (yes the lead singers name is Bert) to rock our socks off!! YEAH!!!

Catching up with Friends!

I have spent quite a bit of time at Jen and Steve's house in the past few weeks and I have to say it has been SOOO much fun! I love that they are so happy together and that they live life to the fullest. It has been such a joy to spend time with them in their beautiful home. Jennifer and I even got to have a throw back to old time sleepover days the other night where we just sat on the bed and chatted until the wee hours of the morning. Unfortunately we both had to get up early to go to work the next day but that was fine.

I actually was able to sell Steve a website last week and can't wait to get started on it. He kept saying how wonderful it will be to actually be able to keep it up to date! It will be a lot of fun to work on this project with them and possibly in the future help with some custom programming to streamline some of the Foundations process's.

I love my job!! I get to talk to such a mix of people and really make an impact on their business it is wonderful, and I couldn't be more thankful that with that I could make a difference for Steve and Jen!

Bird Lady

Thankfully my mom is doing a little better today, not out of the woods by any means but doing better her blood sugar is now down to just under 300 which is still almost 3x higher than what it should be but no longer 500+. The doctors didn't think that it would come down without a higher dosage of insulin so things are looking up. She is still feeling pretty bad but better than yesterday so that is a good sign as well. The main worry now is her triglyceride level which was REALLY high, that in conjunction with the crazy high blood sugar is not a good thing. It can't be tested again for another 6 weeks so we wait. I can't even imagine what I would do if I lost her! I have already been through losing one mom (my bff from childhood's mother right after high school) and that was devastating. Still this many years later I can't talk or think about it much it is just such a tremendous loss. But as for today things are looking up in my little corner of the world and I am thankful!

TGIF!

I am so glad it is FRIDAY!! This has been a very long and trying week, although I am doing stellar at work, making well over my goal in sales for September things in the real world are very very STRESSFUL!
My mom is very ill, and will possibly be hospitalized today or tomorrow. Most who know me well know that I am completely a mama's girl she is not only my mom but one of my very best friends. Seeing her so ill is heart breaking, so please keep her in your thoughts and prayers that she will get through the next few weeks.
