Another Day, Another Dollar

OMG....so I worked 118 hours in the last two weeks....with 38 hrs of overtime in one week. Yes, I think I have officially lost my mind! I am so blasted tired....I knew I shouldn't have said that I will work an additional 16 hour shift. I have NO idea what I was thinking!!! All I know is that I needed the money and this is the only way that I know how to get it, without doing something illegal!

I also started to sell SCENTSY!!!

Now, what the heck is Scentsy you might be asking!?! It is a company that sells wickless candles. Yep, you read that right! You can check out my website here. Please feel free to order whatever you like!! LOL!!! It's actually a really neat company. It has some interesting products. You see, I have a crapload of animals at my house and I have a really big problem with flames. To me, cats and fire don't seem to mix! So with Scentsy, you have the awesome fragrance of the candle and the light of the candle, but you don't have the soot or the flame! What it is is basically a warmer, that uses special light bulbs, that melts the wax. Which in turn makes your house smell yummy!!! I love it!

So, if you so desire, please take a look. If you have any questions, you are more than welcome to e-mail me or just leave a comment!

Oh, one thing that I forgot to add. If you order before Nov 1, you will be entered into a drawing for a Cranberry Muffin (which is the scent of the month) Scentsy Bar! How's that for some incentive!

Hope you all are doing well! I know as soon as my shift is over, I will be at home completely asleep!

Have a blessed day!

Just a few random thoughts!

So I figure I need to blog since I haven't done so in a while! I really don't have a lot to say tonight but i'm sure I can think of something!!! LOL!!

So I'm sitting here at work and I'm loving the music videos on Yahoo tonight. Right now i'm listening to George Michael's "Faith." I love listening to the most random of songs. I just pick an artist and I try and play as many of their songs as I can handle! It doesn't always work cause sometimes I'm just done after one or two songs...but sometimes, I go crazy! I have listened to everything from Def Leppard to George Michaels...in a few minutes I think I will listen to some Josh Groban. I love being able to listen to whatever I feel like at that moment! I like having a variety of music to listen to!

It's interesting that certain songs bring back a lot of memories. When I hear a certain song, it helps me remember things from my past. I don't have a lot of memories from my past...some of that has to do with the things that I've gone through in my life...kinda like a memory that I don't want to remember. Sometimes it seems like all i remember is the bad things in my childhood. Songs have a way of bringing things to life for me...does that make any sense? Let's see if I can come up with an example....when I listen to a certain song, it helps me remember what I was doing while I was listening to a song. I love to read with music on in the background so sometimes if I hear a song, it helps me remember the book that I read. There's a song, and I can't remember the name of it at the moment, but when I hear it, it makes me think of when I read "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." I remember that laying on my bed and listening to the radio and that specific song came on. I remember that it was sunny and gorgeous and my dad telling me that I should be outside instead of reading. You see, I loved (and still do) to read. I would lay on my bed and read for hours and hours. I still love to do that. I read a ton and always loved it. For me, it's a way of escaping reality. Sometimes, reality just sucks and I would rather be taken away from it all.

Oh, before I forget...something exciting happened in my life...speaking of reality right?? So I signed up to be a Scentsy rep. I am soo excited about this product. I LOVE it!!! Here's my website if you want to take a look: tiffanyfarhne.scentsy.us Please feel free to take a look. It's a product that I can truely stand behind. I like it because, while i LOVE candles, the fire worries with me because of the animals. I have cats so I worry about flames and cats...doesn't seem to be a good combination. So this company solves my issue! It's a product that uses light bulbs instead of wicks to melt scented wax. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!! Please take a look and if you so desire...please order. I promise you...you won't be disappointed.

Okay, so those are my random thoughts...really, I don't have much going on at the moment! Maybe next time, I will have more profound thoughts!

10 things I'm thankful for

Okay so today has been a very rough day so I think I need to work on thinking of some things that I am particularly thankful for. Here it goes:

1. I am thankful for a husband who can calm me down after something very frustrating happens.

2. I am thankful for a good friend who let's me cry on his shoulder...mainly through instant messaging!

3. I am thankful for the Church and all that it has done to help me and my family.

4. I am thankful for people who listen to my complaining and then tell me to buck up and get on with life because someone else may have things harder than I do.

5. I am thankful for the challenges that I face. I know that they make me stronger in the end...it just sucks while it's going on!

6. I am thankful for the roof over my head. I love my place and I hope that I get to keep it.

7. I am thankful for my education. Now if only I can finish it!

8. I am thankful for my paycheck and the tons of hours that I put in on overtime. It was nice but it could have been nicer!

9. I am thankful to all my blog readers. It seems like some of you actually like to read it!

10. I am thankful for a creative outlet that I have in scrapbooking. I love to be able to take out some of my frustrations out on paper. Scrapbooking makes me happy! Let's hope it always does!

I know some of these things are probably repeats...and that may happen a lot because these are the things that I am truely thankful for. I have some things that I need to get over and I'm working on it but it's hard sometimes to look at the whole picture. It's hard to remember that the Lord doesn't give us more than we can handle...and i even question how much He thinks that I can handle. I think sometimes I'm at my breaking point and more and more stuff just happens. It's hard....life really is hard. And sometimes I just can't keep doing what I'm doing. I'm trying to figure out how to make life a little easier but I have no idea how. I just keep plugging away and trying different things. Oi! It's tough sometimes!

Inspiration

Ok...so I have this friend that is absolutely the most creative person I know. She is amazing and such an inspiration to me. I have come to realize that I haven't ever told her how much she inspires me. It's interesting to me because I knew her growing up. She's younger than I am. She's the sister of a high school friend of mine. Anyway, it doesn't really matter who she is or what her name is...the thing that matters is the total inspiration that she is to me.

She has two blogs that I read constantly for different ideas for crafts and recipes. I just love her recipes. They are usually pretty good!! And they aren't expensive either! She has inspired me to start a new blog...it's one that probably won't be updated all the time but it's one that I'm going to start so that I can keep a running log of what we like to eat! We also try new recipes all the time so this will be a record of what we've tried! So...here's the new blog address if you feel so inclined to check it out!

http://farhnerfoodies.blogspot.com/

There hasn't been much posted there yet because i just started it. So, make sure if you read this blog, that you check out the other one!!! I promise to only post yummy recipes!

Have a great day!

Christmas lists

Wow...it's that time already?? I can't even believe that there are only 3 months left of this year. It completely shocks me! Where has the time gone? I think back on how this year started and where I am now, and it just amazes me. I love where I'm at now. I love our apartment. I love my new job. I love that Tony is trying to better himself through education. I'm so proud of him. I can't believe how much he really likes going to school. The first week was difficult but things are so much better and wow....we really are happy. I love our new ward. Everyone is absolutely awesome and sweet. Holy Cow...I'm watching the result show for Dancing with the Stars from last night. Chris Daughtry is totally awesome!! For those who don't know me that well, I am a HUGE Def Leppard fan. I am absolutely one of their biggest fans. I just saw Daughtry and Santana's version of "Photograph." It was so amazing! Good job Guys!!! It was great!

Okay, so anyway...it's time to come up with our Christmas lists. So here's what I want:

Tiffany's List:

Cricut cartridges
House seasons 1-5
Law and Order: SVU - all the seasons
Clothes
Shoes

Tony's List:

Guitar books
Acoustic Guitar
Clothes
Shoes
PS3 games

I have no idea what to give Tony for Christmas this year. Things have been really different for us this year. They are starting to look up for next year too. We are so happy being on our own. We are learning more and more about each other and we are just having so much fun. We love being foster parents to kittens for a local rescue. It's just been a blast! So anyway, that's all I have for now. I'm so tired today. 32 hours of overtime this week....i think i'm allowed to be tired!

My new and improved blog!

I love the new look for my blog! I think it's so nice and soothing...nothing like what it used to be! I'm really happy with it! So I have decided to do things a little different with my blog. It seems to me that I have been kind of negative in my blogs. While occasionally it's okay to be negative and have a bad day, I seem to have them more often than not...or maybe I just complain more. So I have decided that today I am going to come up with 10 things that I am thankful for. I have also decided that I am going to try and do that once a week. So here's the list for this week!!

1. I am thankful for sleep. I may not get enough, but I am totally grateful for what I get!

2. I am thankful for vanilla creme wafers! They are my favorite cookie...is that wierd?

3. I am thankful for awesome fellow employees who are willing to go and buy me plums while I am sitting behind this desk waiting for the phone to ring.

4. I am thankful for my creativity that allows me to express myself through my "art" of scrapbooking.

5. I am thankful for my animals even though they drive me crazy sometimes.

6. I am thankful for my friends that I have met throughout my life!

7. I am thankful for my cricut. How goofy is that?? I love my bug...it makes me happy!

8. I am thankful for my husband and the love and support that he shows me!

9. I am thankful for the soldiers who fight for my freedoms.

10. I am thankful for my Mom for everything that she has done for me.

You know, writing this blog today makes me realize that there are a ton of other things that I am thankful for. I can't wait to get them all out there!!

My Biggest Fear

So I was watching reruns of "Grey's Anatomy" today and it got me thinking about my life and my biggest fears. I never really knew that I had a really big fear. Most people are afraid of dying but I'm not. I know where I'm going...maybe not which level of the celesitial kingdom...but I know that at least I will be able to see my family again. I'm not scared of that...my biggest fear is cancer. That's my biggest fear. I don't know why I have the unrational fear of the disease. Maybe it's the pain that is associated with it. I saw what my neice went through. I work in a hospital so I see and hear things about the disease that just scare the crap out of me. I have a ton of health problems now that can easily take over and debilitate me...I don't want it to happen but if it does, I know it's my own fault for not taking care of myself the way I should...but cancer...to me that's different. You can only do so much. It's like a monster that has it's own mind and thought pattern. Maybe I'm just being retarded and thinking about my mortality because today is my birthday but I really am worried about it. I don't want to die a painful death with a monster inside me that won't go away. That slowly takes over and consumes me.

I don't mean to be dramatic or stupid...but it's something that I think about occasionally....something that I occasionally worry about...and it's been on my mind today. So I will now leave you with something else to think about. IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!! I had a great day today...granted....I did sleep most of the day but it was uninterupted sleep and it was beautiful. I only woke up because my lil kitten, Amelia, was trying to fluff me. Aren't I fluffy enough??? LOL!! But anyway, I may have some interesting stories after this weekend! Stay tuned!!!
