Orange

My favorite color has been a deep shade of red for the last year or so, but lately I've become very fond of orange.  Orange has NEVER been a color that I've liked so I'm surprised that I like it as much as I do.  It's a very popular color this season and I'm seeing it everywhere.  I love it, especially the darker shade of orange seen in these flower petals.  Love it....reminds me of the sunset!

It's A Small World

Yesterday at work a customer came into the store and asked me if she could return an item she bought at a Palais Royal.  I told her that we could do the return for her and so she handed me the receipt.  While she was handing me the receipt she told me that she had been shopping in the Houston area.  I thought, "Wouldn't it be cool if she shopped in my old store while she was in Houston?"  So she hands me the receipt and I take a look at the receipt.....What do ya know? She had been shopping in my old store.  There on the top of the receipt was my old store number, 194, with the name of my old manager.  I couldn't believe it.  What are the odds that this woman would have shopped at my old store in the Houston area and returned the item at the store in Fort Worth that I had transferred to!?  This is a small world we live in! 

Spaghetti Dinner Scout Auction

Tonight my dad and I went to the Spaghetti Dinner Scout Auction for my parent's ward.  My dad has always had a passion for the scouting program and so he wanted to go to the auction and donate some money for the boys in their ward.  The spaghetti dinner was pretty good and it only cost us $5 a person.  After the dinner they had an auction for different desserts.  My dad went a little crazy and spent $65 between these 3 delicious desserts.

We aren't going to keep them all but my dad really wanted to support our troop!  We are going to give the cupcakes to some neighbors who are going to feed our cat while we're in Utah.  It was a really fun auction and I'm glad that I was able to go with my dad!

New Cell Phone Case

After I bought my new iPhone 4S, I decided that I needed a new cell phone case for it. Besides, my old iPhone case wasn't compatible with my new model. My old phone was more flat than the new one and I wanted something with a little more PIZAZZ anyway! I browsed the Internet and looked at some cases that were all bedazzled and then....I saw the ONE!!! It was perfect and I just had to have it. It's so me and it has just the right amount of glitz and glamor. I waited a week for it to arrive but it finally came last Saturday and I absolutely LOVE it! The model shows it with a black phone but it looks much better with my white one....so classy!

Did I say I LOVE my new phone?

Colleyville YSA Ward

Today I decided to be brave and I went to the Singles Ward for the area that I live in. I've lived in Fort Worth for a little over a month now and I'm pretty much settled in to my new home and I've been working at my job for several weeks now. I was able to get the information that I needed on the Singles Ward and went for it. I was scared because I really haven't been in a Singles Ward since about 2004 and so I was pretty freaked out. I went to a Singles Branch once when I was living in Houston and I absolutely hated it. My experience with going to the Branch was pretty bad and so I was hoping not to have a repeat of that experience when I went to the Ward today. I got lost a few times while I was driving to the building but I found it in the end. I'm happy to announce that I think I've found my ward. I had a great time with this ward and I think I'm really going to enjoy these people. I didn't talk to many people today but quite a few people came to talk to me and I was really grateful. There was one guy that came to talk to me right when I sat down in the chapel and I think he might be interested in me but it's still a little too early to tell. Besides, I just want to focus on making friends and getting to know the people in the Ward before I start dating anyone. I really just wanted to share that I tried it out and had a wonderful first experience.

Scentportable

Today my mom and I went SHOPPING!!! One of the stores we went to was Bath and Body Works and we both bought a SCENTPORTABLE for our cars. They have several different clip and go fragrance units to choose from and it was difficult picking just one. In the end I chose the strawberry but my mom's ladybug was super cute too! They also have several different fragrance refills to choose from as well. They had a sale where you could buy 4 for $20.00 or 6 for $24.00. I think my mom and I chose 6 things and split the cost. I was excited to get something cute for my car that will also make my car smell wonderful! I recommend that you all get one too!
You should check out the website and see the different fragrance units!
