I FINALLY HAVE A CAMERA CORD!

so that means a new blog! So the last time I blogged was...in August. So, I guess we'll just have a a catch up! In September I started a project for my Shakespeare class. I made a Tudor era dress, complplete with a bum roll and stuffing for boobs. Why? So that a guy could wear it and look like a woman, like how plays were done in Shakespeare's day! I also learned that I am related to Shakespeare! Actually, both of his grandmothers were Webb girls. Cool huh? The greatest playwright is more Webb than Shakespeare! It's a really pretty dress, so I'll try to get a picture of me wearing it (they exist, they're just not in my posession) so I can post it on here. Okay, So then at the end of September I moved out of the house I had been living in for over a year to Spanish Fork with my Aunt Jan and Uncle John. Let me tell you, moving was stressful! I had a ton of stuff (I had everything I needed to furnish a house) so most of it now lives at DI. But I got moved. Then 3 days later...





I got hit. Rear ended by a Subaru Outback which sent me Careening into the Sion in front of me. So my car was totally killed. We couldn't even open the trunk to get stuff out, we had to rip the back seat off. Thankfully, the guy who hit me had really good insurance and they took care of me. For about a week I got to drive this baby.

2011 Toyota Camry. I really loved this picture. However, there were other repercussions from this accident. Due to some whiplash I had several medications (which I didn't take) and I got to wear

a neck brace. It was awesome, I'd be at school and walk into a room and all eyes would be on me, kind of like Cinderella at the ball. Then I remembered I wasn't a mysterious beautiful princess arriving at the ball, nope. I was wearing a neck brace. The attention was significantly less flattering when I realized that.

So at Student Services I was the "fun enabler" (student services lingo for event coordinator) and I loved it! We did all sorts of fun things, water parties, bonfires, games, auctions, and of course Halloween and Christmas parties. So for the Halloween party I wore my beautiful dress (mentioned above) and I made these adorable cupcakes.

Then for the Christmas party I made the simplest center pieces ever. I used noel snow fabric, glass bowls, water, green glass beads, cranberries, and peppermint scented tea candles. It turned out really pretty.





I had a fun Christmas outfit, I looked kind of like a candy cane, and had a photoshoot. All the pics are on my facebook page, but here are some of my favorites.





Oh! The other stuff I've been up to, playing partying fishing. That's right. I went fishing last week from like 7-10 PM with Wes and Aaron and it was SO FUN! it was really cold. I caught 11 fish! in Salem pond. Which had really pretty trees floating in it and there was a gorgeous relfection of a tree but I didn't have my camera so I don't have any pictures :-( Okay, I really caught 8 fish. But one of them was an albino! So he counts as 4 fish. I caugh the very first albino! Eventually Aaron caught one, but Wes never did. Ha. So much for being a lucky fisherman. Actually, he really is, the fish just seem to jump onto his pole. It's ridiculous. I also hosted two murder mysteries. The first was called Pasta, Pistols and Passion. It had the Characters of Mama Rosa (me) Bo Jalias (Phil) Angel Roni (Dayla) Marco Roni (Chase) Clari Vouyant (Amy) Father Alfredo (Charlie) Rocco Scarfazzi (Steve) and Tara Missu (Camille) We had a lot of fun! We ate pasta, breadsticks, salad (very olive garden) and solved the mystery of who killed my husband, Pepi Roni! Unfortunately, my camera was dead so I don't have pictures.
The other one I did was called Murder on the Grill and it was totally different. It was set in the 50s so I had fun decorating.





We entered the world of the 50s. We grilled hamburgers, drank soda from glass bottles, listened to Chubby Checker, hula hooped (Jenny was by far the best) and uncovered the murderer of Tom Dooley! The suspects are:

Johnny Angel the Greaser Mechanic(Wes Bradford)


Bobby Sox Tom's little sister (Jenny Bradford)


Chubby Cheddar rock musician famous for hits like The Twist (Jess Tuttle)


Barby Q the dazzling divorcee who gets any man she wants (Mandi Peck)


Ivan Spudnick Russian scientist (Aaron Morse)


Tiara Diamond Tom's beautiful fiancee (Me)


So that was a lot of fun. Well, that pretty much sums everything up. I finished out the semester finally and now I'm all ready for Christmas! Stay tuned for Christmas goodies! :-)


MERRY CHRISTMAS!
