FUN. + J.E.W.

FUN + J.E.W. singer

Saturday night a few friends and I went to the "FUN" Show at Ziarecords in Chandler. FUN is the lead singer from the former FORMAT band-when they split up back when, he decided to go on and form his own band. There new album just came out "Aim & Ignite" and its really good! Any of you who haven't heard it, I would suggest you listen to it on there myspace page... www.myspace.com/fun

You can only imagine how many teeny boppers and some were crowded into Zia Records and after about 6 songs Logan couldn't handle the sweat dripping from his face so we decided to leave haha.

On our way out Logan wanted to go say hi to the former Drummer of the Format because Logan use to tour with them when he was filling in for Lydia a couple years back. My friend Joanna and I were walking behind Logan and she said to me.."I think thats Jim from Jimmy Eat World" He was standing in the back somewhat next to the old drummer from The Format so Joanna asked him his name.. He told her his name was JIM and wahallaa! She asked him if he would take a picture with us real quick and he very kindly said yes..

Picture is taken from a phone and were all just getting done laughing at Logan trying to take the picture of us but he has the phone facing HIM that should be facing US! So, he was basically going to take a picture of himself... haha

Jim Adkins is doing a solo show at the Modified Arts on Sept 17th

For AmeliOOOO!

Last year I did a birthday wish list on my blog...

Amelia asked me to do another one this year because it makes it easier on them to know what I want.. Cuz if you ask me in person I'll say "I dont know" haha

Sooo..with a little over 2 weeks till my Birthday I thought I would do a little list for Amelia because she asked so kindly :)

I always Want Want Want but lately due to debt havent gotten gotten gotten!

So, I don't know why this was harder for me to do.. but it was

Dolce & Cabbana-The One perfume! I have wanted this ever since Amelia had is last yr when we went to California. Forgot about it and than remembered again when I realized I am almost out of ALL my perfumes at once!

Jewlery hanging stand-Urban

If you know me im a "jewlery" girl-I have tons and tons and I have hooks and cute things to hang my necklaces from but nothing for all my earings, watches and braclets..so they just get thrown all together in a drawer!

Etsy- Peace Key necklace!

and Lastly... A NEW PURSE! I don't know which purse so I don't have a picture! But, I desperatly need a new one being the purse I use everyday is falling apart...

NOTE: Im not picky with purses long as there BIG and not small little things.. I like myself some ROOM in my purses being I have so much crap in them..usually people tell me it looks like im carrying around a duffle bag.. come on' there not THAT big! haha

I can't believe im going to be 22!! haha

Peace all around

As most of you know, I love PEACE stuff!
and, so of course I really like all of the following...

Urban

Etsy-How cute are these mugs!!!! I prob could have made these back in highschool in Clay class! SoOoOoooOO cute! Hot chocolate season is coming SOON enough.

Etsy- Peace key necklace! SOO cute! Why can't it be $15.00 bucks instead of $32
I have about 20+ necklaces and of those 5 are peace themed. BUT, I think I could use one more SUPER CUTE one right?

-Reminder to self: YOU HAVE NO MONEY RIGHT NOW, YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR THIS ONE!

and...maybe one more! haha jk-but this is super freaking adorable but HELLO $68.00 on Etsy!

I dont have a baby to put these on... but if I did than I would have these cute little booties!

On the same note somewhat.. this is called a "peace spider". Can you please tell me who in the world would buy this peace spider on Etsy for $30.00 or even $3.00.. ha Weirdest & ugliest thing I have seen. Im not really sure the purpose of this..

Now, its time to go because my stomach is twisting itself in knots and im about to die!

Job Hunt

Jobs Jobs Jobs..Work Work Work

Well, even though I have been in denial of wanting to do this...

I think the job hunt will soon have to begin!

Current situations, current events, Branch I most likely will be placed in doesnt sound like something I want to get myself into.. I haven't been the HAPPIEST coming to work in a couple months, mostly due to events that happen while at work, and how unprofessional some people are at work, and being inside the Chase bldg with Chase employees things have changed a lot!

I love my wamu co workers, I have a great time working with them and have for the past 5 years (wow ha) but, some on the OTHER side of the piece of glass, I dont enjoy working with very much!

So... with that being said I most likely will slowly start a new job hunt! I wont know until Mid-Oct what will happen with my job, postion and branch I will be put in.. but from the sounds of it all tellers will most likely stay in the branch they are in now, because its too much of a hassle to move everyone around and they will be more busy from all of our foot traffic come Oct. Which I DO NOT want to be kept in the branch I am currently at, another Chase branch a possibilty, YES...but, they have no open postions until after we convert. I might try to hold off a little closer to Oct to see exactly what they have in store for me job wise, but if the job oppertunity comes around that I am interested in and I find something that I get hired on for, Im gonna take it!

With that being said.. I havent really SEARCHED for jobs yet.. but, University of Phoenix is a place that does have my interest. Everyone I know thats ever worked there has LOVED it. We will see if thats an option for me once I learn a little more about it. Any one know of any good job oppertunitys?

Nothing else is really new!

Chris's homecoming- crazy hes back

Tamrans for some AMAZING burritos, thanks to papa Fuentes!

Mexican train with the girls- Love that game! (Amelia completly forgot how to play im pretty sure, how can u forget how to play mexican train.. haha but it gave us some good laughs at what she was doing)

Schwans waffles are amazinggggg! My sisters best friend put a post up about free $10 at schwans for new customers so of course, free food..IM IN! My co-worker Stefanie's husband works for Schwans so I asked her what I should try and she suggest the waffles and was saying how great they were and how they dont even taste like frozen waffles or ne thing.. SHE WAS RIGHT! They were amazing! I would highly reccomend Schwan's waffles to anyone that loves waffles, WAY WAY better than grocery store waffles and you get 16 for 5.99. Cant beat that!

Another week here we come!!

BBB

BBB

I forgot to blog about this awhile back and I think its SOO awesome, so I thought I would blog about it! About a month or possibly a little longer Logan got a phone call from BBB-"Better Business Bureau" I had no idea what this company or what that even meant until Logan explained it to me. Basically, this will briefly tell you what the company is...

BBB sees trust as a function of two primary factors – integrity and performance. Integrity includes respect, ethics and intent. Performance speaks to a business’s track record of delivering results in accordance with BBB standards and/or addressing customer concerns in a timely, satisfactory manner.
BBB ensures that high standards for trust are set and maintained. We exist so consumers and businesses alike have an unbiased source to guide them on matters of trust. We provide educational information and expert advice that is free of charge and easily accessible.
BBB Accreditation is an honor – and not every company is eligible. Businesses that meet our high standards are invited to join BBB.

Well, they were INVITING Logan to join the BBB- which as it states above is an honor. They told Logan that numerous people have called BBB and told them of what awesome work, service, trusting so on and so on. I found it amazing that so many of his customers would go so out of their way to call BBB and go through all the work of explaining and filling out all the info they need. Logan really does do amazing work and each job that he does I somehow like it more than the last and it improves. He can take an empty backyard and make it someones own little paradise. 95% of his customers he becomes close with and instant friends, they will text him at night and tell him how much they are loving there backyard, they will buy him little gifts, give him bonuses for such great work, one customer (one of his favorites) has referred him over aprox 8 people that ALL got something done in their backyard. Its amazing to me that he just started his own business up one day from doing something that he loves and enjoys doing so much. So, all in all I thought it was awesome that Logan had the opportunity to get invited to be part of the BBB (only reason why he said no for the time being is because its like 150-300 per year or something to be part of this group, but in the future hopefully he can become part of the program!

Now, he just needs to UP his price so that he can make more $$ off every job and buy me more things! hahaha

So, Congrats Babe! You do some AMAZING work out in that 115 degree weather! hahah

Love, Your Secretary (that will accept paychecks whenever you wish to start giving them to her)

This backyard use to be ALL dirt... Than Logan worked his magic and it became ALL OF THIS! He did every thing in the ENTIRE backyard!
Use to be a brand new house on Higley and Elliot- Than it became a backyard masterpiece with a BBQ Islands, Fire pit & Bench, Pavers, Lighting, walkways, gravel and more!

Front walk way of pavers use to be cement and little ugly cement squares... 100 times better looking!
