Ex-Lax

So, I was sitting in church today, and I remembered this funny story that happened when I was working at Kmart.

So, this one morning Brandie (one of the department managers) had brought some cookies that she made and a drink to work. She was over at the jewelry counter, which is right next to the service desk where I worked. Well, she had set her stuff on the counter and this couple with a little girl (maybe 3 or 4) came in. Brandie left the jewelry counter for a while, leaving her stuff there, and the couple put her kid down to let her run around (like EVERY parent does!!) Brandie came back to the counter and looked for her stuff, which was missing. She looked down and saw that the couple's girl had taken it off the counter and was eating her cookies and drinking out of her drink. Obviously she was upset about it, so she went and talked to Kim (another department lead) about it. Brandie came back and was standing close to the couple who had the little girl and pretended to do some work. Kim got on the radios we had and said "Brandie, if you find the cookies DON'T eat them. I put ex-lax in them as a joke to give to Kathleen." (Haha....) Well, the couple came up to the service desk, pretty upset and wanted to talk to a manager. I called Brandie (the manager on duty) up and she started talking to them. The couple was SO MAD and were freaking out because someone had left these cookies out in reach of the little girl and if their daughter got sick because of it, they were going to sue..or something stupid like that...Haha, Brandie told them over and over that she knew who made them and that they didn't put anything in them and that Kim was just joking...The couple didn't believe her and left pissed....Haha, but when I found out what had really gone on, I just laughed. It totally made my day! Brandie was just mad that the couple wasn't watching the kid, and the kid ended up eating her cookies and her drink. Of course, I'd be mad too. Brandie had to throw it away, cuz well, if you saw the kid...you would too...Okay, that sounded mean, but still...Ya never know!

But anyway...haha, maybe it's not so funny to some of you, but when I remembered that story, I just had to laugh. It really was funny...moral of the story...don't let your kids run around department stores...and don't get mad at the employees when YOUR KID (that you're not watching) ends up eating stuff off of counters....(which the little girl couldn't have reached, which made Brandie think the parents gave it to her...which they probly did..) but yeah..keep that in mind the next time you go shopping, plus, you never know what's going to be in them!

The Host...

So, I finished The Host by Stephenie Meyer....in like 2 days. I actually really liked it, to be honest. It was really weird, and there were things about it i didn't like...but overall it wasn't too bad...of course there were those characters that you fall in love with..haha...yeah, I kinda got into it. I had a dream about it once, even...lol...i laughed and i cried...I didn't want to read it because it sounded way stupid, but I think she is a good author, so if you liked her other books..(Twilight series...the 4th one comes out soon too!! YAY!!!) you might like this one. it takes a bit to get into, but it's not bad, so I would recommend it to ya'll! ENJOY and let me know what you think if you've read it!

Twilight!!!!

Alrighty, so I'm at school doing "research" on the internet, and I come across this... http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1810010670/video/7744470 The movie of Twilight really is coming out!!! Not until December 12, but STILL!!! I'm so excited!! (Haha, my "research" really did have to do with movies. I have to make a movie poster...haha, but this was more exciting, and yes I am at school right now as I post this!) I can't wait to get home so I can watch it with the sound..

Anyway, just thought I would share that good news with my fellow Twilight lovers!

Oh, and has anyone read her newest book The Host? I am not very far into it. but I find it kinda interesting. A little weird, and somewhat confusing, but I find myself wanting to read it all the time...If you've read/or are reading it...let me know what you think!

Shaina's Grad Announcements

Here are my sister in law Shaina's grad announcements. I LOVED them. I didn't do the pictures, but I designed the announcements, and I loved how they turned out. It helps when I have GORGEOUS pictures to work with. It really doesn't matter what the design is. I could just throw them on there randomly and it would still like cute. but yeah, so here they are...
