What's in my purse???

I saw on Kim's blog that she put a list of what is in her purse. I thought this could be a little interesting, especially since I haven't changed purses for 5 days and this is a big purse. I just wish I had a scale where I could weigh it. It's got to be at least 30 pounds, if not more! (not a cute pic since it's on the floor of my office and taken with my camera phone!)

1. My makeup for today since I did it while I was driving to work – not very safe I know
2. Expired $10 coupon for Fashion Bug since I couldn’t ever find the purse I was wanting
3. 4 pens – all different colors though!
4. Pic for my hair as it wasn’t quite done when I left this morning either
5. Eclipse Winterfrost Mints
6. Orbit Spearmint, Cinnamint & Wintermint Gum - can you tell I love gum???
7. List of movie times from Tuesday – Meet the Browns was so funny! I love Tyler Perry!
8. Stapler & staples – I got to separate and tear 4 sets of Dback tickets for all 82 games last night! Fun, fun!
9. My quote I was supposed to read in Relief Society on Sunday, but we never got to
10. All my paperwork to do my taxes
11. Small notebook
12. Tags from my new shirt & necklace
13. 11 lip glosses – those sure to collect in my purse quick!
14. inexpensive Book of Mormon plus my quad set
15. Overstuffed wallet with like 10 pennies and no other money, but quite a few receipts!
16. Church Program from Sunday
17. Ipod & Ipod headphones
18. Fork – (forgot about this) I ate in the car on the way to the movie Tuesday and put the fork in my purse when I was done so I wouldn't leave it in the car
19. Ticket stub from the Phoenix Zoo from over a month ago
20. 3 paycheck stubs
21. Relief Society Newsletter
22. 2 year planner with nothing written in it – I had such good plans to be organized this year
23. Face wipes
24. Goal Setting booklet from my Stake Conference (also about a month ago)
25. 8 sticky notes all stuck together with notes I had written down
26. Isaiah for Airheads by John Bytheway - really helpful in my scripture study this morning!

At least Kim had her kids as some of her excuse (or blame) for all that was in her purse, what's mine????

I've been tagged!

Ten Years ago....

I was at MCC majoring most likely in business, but I can't totally remember as I changed several times! I had just bought my first car 6 months prior without ever seeing it. My parents called me when I was out of town with a friend and told me they'd pay half and had already picked out the car 'the bubble' which my sister affectionately (well maybe not) referred to it as.

5 things on my 'to do' list today

1. Get all of my work done so I don't have to come in tomorrow before I go out of town!
2. Returns at Target and Big Lots
3. Go to the gym
4. Laundry so I will be able to have clothes to take to Mexico
5. Start to pack or at least make a list or something so I'm not running around crazy tomorrow

Snacks I enjoy:

Anything chocolate
String Cheese
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookies (the best!)
A good orange


What would I do if I were suddenly a billionaire?

Wow, where to start. Anyone who knows me would have to know my first purchase would be a pair, who are we kidding, multiple pairs, of Christian Louboutin shoes! After I was enjoying those as well as a few new purses I'd pay off my car and buy and have fun decorating a house and get the closet of my dreams! I'd quite my job and travel all over - Europe particularly. I'd buy a condo in Manhattan and a beach house in California. I'd buy a Range Rover. I'd take all my family on a trip, probably to NYC since none of them have been and I they think my obsession is a little crazy. I'd buy the new Apple Air book laptop. I'd find a charity or cause I love and help support them. Save some money so one day when I finally get married I can have my wedding pictures taken in NYC - that's my dream! I'd buy my niece a pair of True Religions as they are so cute, but I can't justify spending that much on a pair of jeans for a 1 year old, but if I were a billionaire...

3 of my bad habits

1. I can't get to bed before midnight no matter how early I have to get up.
2. Shopping - makeup, shoes, purses
3. Picking at my finger nails, I don't bite them but I pick at them constantly. It's no wonder they won't grow!

5 Places I've lived:

1. This is a little sad, but only Mesa, AZ. I really need to get out more.

5 Jobs I've had:

1. Babysitter - my first real money - thank you Aunt Diana!
2. Mail Girl
3. Customer Service in Insurance (I'm so happy that is over!)
4. PL Placement & Bookkeeping (I am quite liking this right now!)
5. Personal Shopper - not really a job I've had, but I sure do help others spend their money when they aren't even there (right Elise???)

5 things people don't know about me

1. I have to have my toenails painted if I am wearing open toe shoes - no exceptions!
2. I have more than once gone around for a couple days with only one hand being painted. I end up running out of time or getting interrupted before I paint the other hand and will frequently not paint it until a couple days later. It's my new fashion trend I'm trying to start.
3. I own over 60 eye shadows and keep getting more (it's an addiction I know)
4. I feel a little homesick for NY when I see pictures or shows/movies set there
5. I'm addicted to buying dishes too. I have no idea how many different sets of dishes I have, but it's go to be at least 20. They are so much fun to buy. I have only started using any of them 3 months ago. Before that they all sat in storage, where most of them still are sitting!

I tag Heidi (so she should do this in about a month since it's that much time between posts) and Marie!

Stay in shape while sitting down?? What could be better??

This is the funniest clip! I definitely am going to get one of these for my office. I can only imagine how productive I'll be and I'll get an ab workout. How perfect!

A little late, but congrats to Christian!

Congrats to Christian for winning Project Runway! I loved his collection - it was just fierce! He's so talented and cracks me up! And he's only 21. I can't wait to see more of his stuff at the next Fashion Week!

Yard Sale to benefit Cystic Fibrosis

My friend, Breann Bryant, is having a yard sale the end of March to benefit Cystic Fibrosis. She is currently looking for any donations of things that can be sold at the yard sale. If you have anything you'd like to donate please give me a call or email or leave a comment. I would be able to come and pick anything up. Breann has Cystic Fibrosis and is awesome about doing a fundraiser each year to raise money to help develop better treatment and hopefully a cure one day. Any donations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

You gotta love You Tube! This is one of the best!

This is a great video! Who knows, we might see this kid on American Idol in 15 years!

Reflections of Christ - amazing!

I just went last night to the Reflections of Christ exhibit at the Visitor's Center at the Mesa Temple. It was amazing! The Spirit was so strong there and it was just a great experience. The video was great and I definitely recommend seeing it when you go. The photos were absolutely beautiful and the music so perfect. Mark Mabry and everyone else involved did a wonderful job and I'm grateful to all of them for all the time and effort they put into it as it has blessed my life and so many others I'm sure. Definitely make sure you take the time to go down to the Visitor's Center and see the video and photos. I hope eventually these pictures and music we will be able to purchase.

Website about the display with some video from Mark and others talking about the process. The above picture is from the website and is one of the ones on display. To see the rest you'll have to go down to the exhibit!
