What's Fabric?

David's Bridal Highly Educated & Well Informed Employee: Thank you for calling DB. How can I help you?

Me: Hi, yes I'm trying to order several yards of fabric.

DBHE&WIE: I'm sorry, what? I don't understand you?

Me: I'm trying to order some fabric.

DBHE&WIF: order what?

Me: Fabric. F-A-B-R-I-C (yes, I spelled it out for her just mistakenly thinking this would in some way make the communicating proces easier).

DBHE&WIE: I don't know what that is.

Me: (stunned, but I'm used to working with stupid people on the phone...here's my attempt to 'dumb it down') the stuff the clothes are made of--cotton, taffeta..?

DBHE&WIE: Oh! Oh, I don't know...let me transfer you to alterations.

Long story short: alterations first language was NOT English. She transferred me back...

Hung up--called another location. They're going to call me back tomorrow to let me know.

ps Tanlee-you owe me.

Tamara! It's Chrissy Freeman... Oliverson. :-)

I found your blog through Jayce and Danielle's...

You are hilarious... I read back a little bit and I think my favorite parts are the videos of the fat dog running up the stairs! and I watched it on mute! :-)

Oh, and we're glad to see you got your puppy... we were there when you publicly made your plea over the pulpit (lots of p's in the sentence, weird.) to your husband. What kind of adorable breed is he?!

Anyway, I'm a huge proponent of blogs... so I'm super excited to have found a new one to follow!

Be Thankful

It's that time of year again!  Time to spend hours cooking/preparing, minutes eating (WAY too much food), all surrounded in the loud, wonderful chaos of family. The food, shopping and preparations can quickly and easily take over and  result in overlooking the real meaning of the holiday. Thanksgiving invites us all to reflect on our many blessings and remember to be grateful.  As you might expect, the things I am most grateful for are those that you can't buy.  This year we welcomed Brynlynn into our home and are SO GRATEFUL for her; that she is here, that she is healthy, that our family is forever.   I'm incredibly grateful for my knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ.  I'm grateful for the countless blessing He has bestowed upon me and my family.  I am grateful for Brent; for the man and husband that he is and more importantly the father that he is.  I'm so grateful for all of my immediate and extended family...I'm not under any false impression that it'

Mothers and Daughters

Just a warning, I am standing on my 'soapbox', so turn back now if you don't want to hear my rant of the day. I have strong opinions, so read at your own risk. :) I just watched this video, Mothers and Daughters , and had to share it. I watched a very disturbing episode of Oprah yesterday (the DVR recorded another episode for some reason). I won't go in to details, but despite all of the discussion I was very upset and surprised by the actions of the mother. She was basically the opposite of what a mother should reflect. She offered no love, support, encouragement and in this particular situation protection for any of her children. I particularly like how Elder Ballard mentions what expectations we as women are presented with today. Pointing out how, women are often made to look silly, and objectified. Our roles, that we are divinely given, are continually undermined . Women seek guidance on how we should look, what we should wear etc. from people that really do
