Ward Party Flyer

All most done with the advertising portion of it all...

I finished the fliers in record time... here is the rough draft... tell me what you guys think?


My First Ward Activity!!!

So I have finally started planning and taking action for my First Ward Activity. As many of you know I am the Ward Activies Cordinator... very exciting I must say.

Here is my plan of attack:

Ward Tail Gate Party
Ward Tail Gate Party
Ward Tail Gate Party

Party includes...
BBQ
Ultimate Frisbee
Sidewalk Chalk Games (ie 4 square & hopscotch)
Sidewalk Chalk Art Show
3 Legged Race

AND
Watching the BYU Football Game!!!!


Here is my rough draft of the poster for the foyer:


Here is the Finished Product! What do you think? Did I make it look like a real truck?

I am pretty excited about being in charge of this and I really hope that I get a good turn out. I am crossing my fingers that the concept of having awards and a BYU football game will bring in a good crowd.

Any words of wisdom for me?!

Project Runway... Fit For A Queen

Anchors Away!!!


Project Runway is one of my favorite reality/competition TV shows. I love the suspense of not knowing what an outfit will look like until the reveal on the runway.

Not only am I a fan of the 'out of the box' designs and the wacky designers themselves but I LOVE Heidi Klum... maybe it is the fact that she is German and still has the cutest accent ever or maybe it is the fact that I wouldn't mind looking like her but she is so refreshing to watch. I find her honest and upbeat at the same time, which is getting harder and harder to find these days.

As Ryan and I sat down to watch out TiVo'd episode we were rooting for Daniel to finally get the boot. To our surprise the challenge was on designing Drag Queen costums! Interesting... I thought to myself. But being rather conservative in that manner I was pleasently surprised at how the costumes turned out! I found myself really getting into the glittery and over the top outfits.

My favorite outfit was also the winning outfit! I am not going to lead you astray... I was totally weirded out that those busty ladies I was looking at were not ... well... ladies. The winning model/drag queen actually caught both me and Ryan off guard because she/he had a rather nice rearend and she/he was not one to hid that fact as she flirtingly turned around to show it off for the judges.

The fun bubble gum pink sailor outfit was a hit... now if only I could get my hands on one of those. lol... he he he. Oh and did I mention that the, not so little, Nautical Queen even came with her own bang extentions... I want some! Then I could grow my bangs out and have them just clip in if I want bangs that day. Now that is one prepared Drag Queen. lol. What is this crazy world coming to.

All in all it was a really fun episod... wierd... but still fun and Daniel did get the boot.

My Little Secret...

The cat is OUT of the bag...

Here is where I watch all of the shows that not even my handy dandy TiVo has recorded...

http://www.free-tv-video-online.info/

You can check out just about any show and just about every episode! They even have movies so dig in and catch up! :)

(BTW if you want to avoid weird adds... make sure to maximize the video so you dont have to sit and look at the obnoxious adds that are on most of the sites.)

My new favorite obsession...

I have minor obsession with the TV show Gossip Girl... lame I know, but none the less I love watching the drama I missed out in High School.

Anyhow I have finally found a song from the show that I have been craving because of its allusive beat and amazing vocals. The band is The Pierces... which is a smaller coffee house style band out here in NY to check out their page follow the link. Their song Three Wishes is really beautiful and just amazing. Look it up and tell me what you all think?

Here is a montage clip from the show with the song:


View at your own risk... you might just get addicted too! lol

What songs are you having a hard time getting enough of at the moment? If I like it I will add it to my play list so I can struggle getting enough of it. lol. Have fun dancing in your chairs!!! :)
