So I was trying to change my background on my blog because I saw these cute ones Carly has done but I couldnt figure it out. Then I jacked up my original page and just spent the last 40 mins fixing it again. I need to leave things alone Ive decided.

Costco

This week I got my first Costco card. I feel like I have been invited into a secret world filled with giant tubs of candy and huge bottles of cleaning supplies. With in the first 2 mins of walking in I was already hooked. I grabbed a box of "27 Elegant hand crafted holiday cards with matching self-seal envelopes" and it was only $19.99. Thats 74 cents a card! Then I continued to shop and enjoy everything...in bulk. I felt like such a grown up. I ended up spending over $150...but I did get 2 christmas presents and a set of 360 clear plastic cutlery.

Better than Instant Oatmeal

In todays world we want everything quick and easy. We want things to happen sooner than later and we want it to be quality. There are a lot of "instant" things. Like instant oatmeal, an instant tan, instant lawn, instant hot water, and instant messenger.

One of my favorites is an instant tan. This last Monday (for the second time) I was "spray tanned" by my friend Kristin. She decided after her 3rd baby she no longer wanted to work but wanted to make a little extra money on the side. She has it all set up in her front room of her house. I do feel a bit awkward standing in the "tent" in my tube top and shorts (you can wear your swimming suit but I don't want lines on my shoulders and no one ever sees my upper thigh except the Doctor and my waxer anyways). Plus hes my friend from high schools wife..... So I stand there in different positions while she hand sprays my body. I have really like the results. She has 3 different kinds of "tanner". It looks really natural and NOT ORANGE! I like this way better than standing in that booth to get spray tanned. You either feel like you are going into a gas chamber and you cant breath or you are reminded of the "Friends" episode where Ross get spray tanned and ends up looking ridiculous. Also it is WAY healthier and quicker than laying out or tanning in a bed. You dont have to lay in the hot sun and you dont get skin cancer (a plus in my book). I would recommend it to anyone AND its only $10.

My other "instant" is my lawn. My dad and brother put sod down in my front yard saturday morning. Its looks so much better than before. I have had dirt for most of the summmer. Its amazing how the sod comes in these rolls and they just roll them out in the yard. Right now I just have to make sure it stays wet so it can start to grow. My dad calls me everyday to check on it. Im a little paranoid too. The sprinklers are set to run 3 times a day but I have to check to make sure it doesnt dry out. I cant wait for it to be under 100 degrees during the day. They also put rock in and it looks so much better.

Dads and brothers are great.

Just thought Id should let you know...

I LOVE "THE OFFICE"!
