Purses

So for Easter we are making watches and doing all sorts of girlie things. If you would like to learn how to make a purse out of place mats I would be glad to show you. Just buy your favorite place mat(s) and bring them to grams house. I will have everything else you will need. It should be lots of fun.

Oh and if you have a sewing machine you can bring that too. I don't know how much we will be doing, but it might be good to have just in case. See you then!!!

Friends

Remember when you were younger and life seemed so hard. Well I pretty sure it was easy. The other day I was talking to my roommate Merica about friends. We were discussing how funny friendship used to be when you were younger. You lived life from day to day or even recess to recess. If something was planned ahead it was a HUGE deal and that's all you could think about.

Remember how you picked your friends based on who wanted to jump rope at recess. And you couldn't be friends with someone who wanted to play hopscotch. Remember how you had a new best friend everyday. And how you would only sit with the people who had chocolate milk at lunch. Remember when you would fight with a friend and the next day forget that the fight ever happened. Remember when you and your friends would coordinate outfits. Remember how hard life seemed to be, but looking back it all seems silly.

I asked Merica why people don't treat friendship like this anymore. Obviously we have grown out of sitting by people who only drink chocolate milk. But why aren't we as forgiving as children. Or why can't we still think boys have cooties. Why do we have to grow up and plan things two months in advance. Now I know that we have responsibilities and we have more things to worry about. But wouldn't it be nice to go to recess once and awhile? When you're a kid you can't wait to grow up and now that I'm grown up I just want to play like a kid again. Isn't it ironic.

So to share a story that totally fits in with being a kid again...

The other day I was at Kim and Cory's. The kids have these new Puma socks (just a brand with a little tiger pic on them) That's all they can talk about. "Aunt Tracey, these are my new Puma socks." It makes me laugh. So Cory and I were getting them ready to load up in the car. I'm putting their shoes on and they just keep telling me about their Puma socks. So being a mean aunt I said to Bradley, "Those aren't Puma socks." He looked at me really confused and said "Yes, Puma socks." I said no and this went back and forth a couple of times.

Then Bradley gets this look on his face. And he starts balling. I mean hysterically crying. Well Laney looks at him and starts crying too. I'm laughing so hard I can't control myself. Cory comes upstairs and wants to know what happen. I tell him and he looks at Bradley an says "Yes, those are your Puma socks. Aunt Tracey is just teasing you." Well that seemed to satisfy them both and they stopped crying.

Now I know you're thinking I'm mean. And yes I am, but what made me laugh is that they were just socks. Does it matter what kind of socks they are? Then I thought life is so hard at that age. You get upset over socks. But oh how I wish that's all the worries I had in life.

Puma socks. Who would have thought.

Hey Baby Lets Go To VEGAS!!!

Spring Break was last week and I decided to go. I mean why not? I was supposed to go to Phoenix and see a bunch of Spring Training games, but that didn't work out. So instead I went with my roommate to Vegas! We mostly just walked around and took pictures (We were having fun with the camera). We stayed one night at the Luxor and went to Blue Man Group. It was super fun. But I'm glad to be home even though I am leaving again tomorrow to go to Boise to see the Aggies play!!!! Gotta have fun while I can I guess!

Great Minds Think Alike

So these are the awesome glasses that I got from Burger King. As you can see Merica is sporting the BK Crown. Anyway I thought it was funny that Harm has the same pair of glasses. Not only that but she has pictures wearing them too. I guess great minds do think alike!

Purse Party

Didn't they turn out so cute!

Merica and I went to enrichment where we learned how to make these really cute purses. All it is is a place mat. I would like to have a Purse Party!!! Everyone can just find a cute place mat that they like and bring it. I think it would be super fun. Let me know what you think and we will pick a day to have it!!!

Bull Pen

So the business is coming. We've been crunching numbers and things are starting to work. But it's all just estimations. We wont really know until our doors open.

Let me give you a little idea of the experience you will have when you come to The Bull Pen...

When you walk in our doors you will immediately find yourself in a comfortable restaurant all "Aggied" up. On one side you will see the dinning area and the other couches and Luv Sacks (places to lounge). In the middle you will see pool tables and dart boards. Everything will be in Aggie Blue (not to be mistaken by the new "BYU Blue"). You will automatically feel as though you are a part of Utah State University. GO AGGIES.

When you decide to order food...which you will....everything on the menu will be under $5. But it will be the best $5 food you've ever had. Now I know you are thinking you don't want a "college food" or even fast food, but this will be different. Think hamburgers but the good kind you make at home and buffalo wings, or should I say Big Blue Hot Wings. This is only the beginning. You will have to come to find out the rest.

Now lets talk entertainment. So you come and eat our awesome food and maybe hang out little while you're there, but what are you going to do on those boring Saturday nights. Maybe come to an open mic night, see a comedian, listen to live bands, or maybe catch the student film festival.

If this sounds like fun to you than The Bull Pen is the place to go. Okay I know that was a little bit of advertising, but it's going to be awesome!!! I don't really have a time line of when we expect to be opening. The great thing is that we EXPECT to be opening!!! Yes I think this really might happen!!! YAY
