While it's Halloween . . . Look who's in the death business now

The other day, I was doing some casual online shopping and found that you can now order caskets and urns through Walmart!

Yes, it is true. I even looked on their website to make sure. The lowest price for a casket was $895! Not bad, Walmart. In fact, I'd probably end up buying one there. Why pay the big bucks for something that's never going to be seen again?

My favorites from the selection:

The "Lady de Guadalupe" Steel Casket, $895.00

The "Supreme Distinction" Steel Casket, $1199.00

The "Wings of Freedom" Adult Urn, $174.05


And for your pet's needs:

The "Standing Tall Cat Calico" Brass Urn, $114.00
*For cats up to 40 lbs*

"He's got the swine"

I got this funny email from my Aunt Joyce today:


Swine flu paranoia is getting out of hand....

HA!

Side Note: TWO days till the big news!

Clutch

I've really been wanting a little clutch bag lately.

It'd be so nice! Because, most of the time when I'm running an errand or going out for the night I just need my wallet, phone, and keys. Maybe some chapstick. And I don't need a big purse to carry all those around. So a clutch is perfect!

Side Note: The big news (see the end of this post) is coming this week!

Addiction

I think I have a serious problem: I'm addicted to sweets! Usually of the chocolate variety, but if those aren't around, usually anything will do.

This became very apparent when my family left for UEA last week and left me with NOTHING sweet to eat! I almost died. In fact, my family's lucky that I'm still alive and well.

Next time, you might not be so lucky. Better stock up on some of these.

Or, if Oreos aren't available, I can always live of some Dove Darks!

I blame my dad for this addiction.

Crunch Time!

I love Fall.

Why?

Because I can crunch all the leaves on the ground!

Seriously, I am weird about this.

I'll will go slightly out of my way so I can step on some crunchy leaf in front of me. For some reason, it is really satisfying. Try it. I bet you like it too. And then you'll be on the lookout for extra crunchy leaves.

This movie is finally coming out today! And it got a great review. I want to see it. Anybody else want to see it too?

Also, I just tried Pandora for the first time today. Yeah, I'm probably way behind everyone. But it's pretty cool so far. For those of you who don't know, it's a free radio that guesses what kind of songs you'll like based on your feedback. It's a great idea, actually.

And, last but not least, I should have some exciting news coming soon (12-19 days) . . . So stay tuned!

Purely For Assignment

I am on a bit of a rush right now, so this blog post probably won't be very interesting. In fact, you can just stop reading now. But guaranteed you'll read more. Did you read this sentence?

Well, I'm going to write some of my life aspirations. That's a pretty good blog post, I guess. More like a journal entry.

1. Do an Ironman

2. Do a marathon (I guess this should go before #1)

3. Get a master's degree (MBA?)

4. Get married

5. Have a baby

And now some hobbies/talents/stuff I'd love to be good at or better at:

1. Tennis

2. Taking photos

3. Photoshop

4. Cutting hair

5. Excel

6. Cooking

7. Racquetball

8. HTML

9. Computers

10. Sewing

That's all. And this sentence is purely to take up space and to make my 150 word quota for my assignment. (See here.)

Sorry it's so boring folks!

Winnings and Wannabes

I won a scarf in a blog giveaway!

Giveaways are the greatest. Usually all you do is comment on the blog and you have the chance to win something sweet.

My prize comes from this awesome gal's blog---who's also my aunt : )

I'm always blown away by her creative projects and amazing photos. She contributes to this sweet blog Hip Handmaids. They sponsor and advertise handmade giveaways. What a clever way to bring common blogs together.

I'm totally inspired and I wish I had time to exercise my creative juices . . . or discover them, as the case may be. I should start with something simple. But what?

And in totally unrelated news . . .

At a football game, I sat behind this 40-something lady with the craziest outfit:

Her SHOES matched her SHIRT!

What is she, some kind of Punk Wannabe?

Who knows.

This was at a BYU game, so why is she even wearing yellow? We played Colorado State and their colors are green and yellow, so MAYBE she was a stray Colorado fan. But the rest of her family were clearly BYU fans. So strange.
