Utah ... at last!

Brrr... it's kinda cold here in Utah! But I guess this is what I wanted. I have missed the cold weather for the past year, so the chilly temps will be a welcomed change. Now if my blood would thicken up just a little!

The Budget truck is unloaded. The storage shed is filled. The basement is slowly becoming my own ... kind of. Now I'm working on hauling in all my clothes! Let the fun begin!

Oh ... and I've also found a few more blogging friends! Check out my links for more blogs.

The exodus begins!

Today was my last day at The Desert Sun! After working a 12-hour day Wednesday, today was a blessed short 1-hour long! Just enough time to have my exit interview and say a few goodbyes! Ahhhhhhhh......

Now begins the heavy lifting, literally.

I really hate, hate, hate moving! My head already hurts, I'm trying to get everything done and not forget any of the details. No wonder my head hurts!!

Fall favorites!


Lisa and I just went to see a sneak preview of "Dan in Real Life" with Steve Carell. This was one of the best movies I've seen in a really long time. Hilarious. Sweet. Poignant. Endearing. And ... the previews don't give away the whole story!
So "Dan in Real Life" is one of my Fall Favorites!

Also on the list is ABC's hit "Pushing Daisies."
What is NOT perfect about this show?
* Bright and colorful
* Romantic chemistry
* Love triangle
* Creative plotline
* He's a pie maker
* Great narration from great Jim Dial
* And ... Broadway star Kristin Chenowith! (did you see when she sang "Hopelessly Devoted? GREAT!)

The nose knows...

This morning I was getting gas and the stupid pump didn't switch off, so when I went to unhook the pump gas splashed on me and proceeded to pour out of the pump! UGH!
So all day I've been smelling like gas (no wonder I have a huge headache right now).

In honor of my smelly day I thought I would try and turn my thoughts to pleasant aromas ... So here is a list of my favorite scents:

* Freshly baked bread (my Lion House Rolls are the BEST!)
* Leather (especially when it's coming from a new purse or new shoes!)
* A new pack of spearmint gum
* Cologne on an attractive man (some faves through the years have been Polo, Drakkar, Armani Gio, Cool Water, Polo Black and others...)
* Clean laundry ... Tide, Bleach and a little Downy fabric softner: the perfect combination!
* Candles that smell like something sweet is baking: Sugar Cookie, Butter Pecan Pie, Vanilla, etc...
* Christmas trees
* Oil of Olay (memories of Mom always smelling like that)
* Rain

OK, I could go on for days, but not all I want is some good smelling man to cuddle up to while bread is baking in the oven, it's raining outside, the Christmas tree is shimmering, I'm snapping my gum and lighting a scented candle. Oh and unwrapping my new leather purse and getting ready to climb into clean, bleached sheets.
But wait ... I think I catch a faint wiff of gasoline still. Drat!

What are your favorite scents?

Big Ben and Prince William ... here I come!

You Belong in London
A little old fashioned, and a little modern.
A little traditional, and a little bit punk rock.
A unique soul like you needs a city that offers everything.
No wonder you and London will get along so well.

Utah bound!

It's official! I am moving back home to Utah in 2 weeks! I am so excited, relieved, anxious, and more. Being a very practical, responsible person, I am taking a huge leap in my newest adventure ...

I HAVE NO JOB!

Having realized over the past year that I am not a California Girl, I am excited to return to my familiar stomping grounds, friends and family who love me and actual DATING OPPORTUNITIES!!!

The downside to my "triumphant" return to Utah? Living with my parents once again. I think they now call people like me Boomerang Kids. Hopefully this will be a short stay with the 'rents. I'm hoping for a fabulous job and an adorable apartment in my very near future!
I keep telling myself that change is good ... that's been a mantra of mine for the past 18 months as my life has seen a good share of ups and downs!

Now on to the packing fun!
