It is my calendar after all...

The other day I needed to write something on my calendar at work for May 4th. But...oddly enough...that day was already filled with these random...yet obviously caldendar worthy...holidays:

May Day (NT,AU)
Labour Day (QLD,AU)
Dodenherdenking (NL)
Early May Bank Holiday (IRL,UK)
Green Day (JP)
The entire box was filled up to the top with these foreign holidays. I'm sure that the Early May Bank Holiday is really important in Ireland, but is it necessary to put on a calendar that will be sold world wide?
I suggest it isn't.
(Dodenherdenking is "held annually on May 4 in the Netherlands. It commemorates all civilians and members of the armed forces of the Kingdom of the Netherlands who have died in wars or peacekeeping missions since the outbreak of World War II." Thank you wikipedia...)

Adendum...

I think I forgot to mention you can vote for my bag every day if you want...no pressure though...

Fun Little Contest...

I went to the website for my local grocery store to see if they had their weekly ads online...and while I was on the site, I saw they were having a 'design a shopping bag' contest...

So I did...

And if enough people vote for it I could win a shopping card!

Vote here!

I think that page brings you to a page and you can 'search' the bags. If you just search for the first name Katy, last initial N and the city Tempe, you should see my bag...

Thanks!

No he didn't...


Here are a few things I've overheard my boss say:
-"Well, really, your wife does need to lose some weight. Both your wife and your daughter."
-"Ya...well...everyone dies." in response to someone who told them they had a rough weekend because someone in their family died.
-"There is not one good looking person that works here...we will not get any business based on our looks" on why we shouldn't put a picture of us on one of our mailers.
Sometimes all I can do is shake my head and thank heaven he is not face to face with whoever he is talking to because he's bound to get slapped...

Presents...good and bad...

Well a lot has happened this week...
Let's start from the very beginning...

Tuna flew home on Monday (of last week) and then me and Tacy didn't do anything blog worthy between then and Saturday...
Saturday morning Ashlie, Tacy and I drove up South Mountain because Tacy really wanted to see a lizard while she was here, and Ashlie thought that would be prime lizard viewing territory. It wasn't...but we did get some pictures...


Tacy flew home that afternoon...

The next couple days were lovely mail days...I received 2 blog give-away gifts! I don't know how I got so lucky, but I got another pair of earrings from Jaime (I really like them, but was not successful AT ALL in taking a decent picture of them)...


And from my former roommate Emily...I got these super neat personalized handmade cards! A set of 4! I think I am going to keep them for when the brand 'Emily' is all famous, I can have a set of original Emily Brand gift cards! It'll be worth millions...(The bottom picture is a front and back photo, with the envelope)



In not so good presents...I woke up Sunday morning to Ashlie texting me from our friend Whitney's house telling me that I couldn't use the bathroom because every time you flush a toilet, it backs up into one of the showers. YUCK! She had to clean 'poo' out of her shower that morning. So, I went over to Whitney's house and got ready (I had to go to work that day...crappy), then I pretty much went right back to Whitney's house after I got off work. Later that night, Ashlie went home and Alice had flushed the toilets again and this time it had seeped up into my shower/bathtub, and when I came home that night to get stuff to sleep over at Whitney and Jillians, I check out the bathroom and almost vomited! The tub was covered in...poop! And hairballs and drain gunk..and here's the kicker...TAMPONS!! SICK!!!

I called Tiffany this morning, and she got a plumber over to the house, and as you can imagine, the whole clog was caused by tampons! Disgusting huh! I always thought it was common knowledge that you shouldn't flush tampons. I know they say you can, but I've always heard you should never.

Well, rest assured, there will be no more tampon flushing at our house any more!
