Mr. Weird Voicemail
So, I was a little too quick to give my number to a guy that I met online. We text each other a little back and forth when I first gave him my number and then soon realized he was a weirdo and stopped contact with him. Although I never respond to his text messages or voice mails after that, he still occasionally calls me and leaves me voice mails. He always calls me early in the morning from an Unknown number which I normally pick up, but thankfully I have missed each of his calls... and then several minutes later I get a voice mail. I really wanted to record his voice mail and attach it here because he has such an interesting voice that makes the messages that much weirder... but sadly, you are not going to get that.
There have been a few times where he calls me in the morning and leaves me messages. In past messages he usually mentions that he got to work that morning at 6am and how much he loves the mornings. This was his latest voice mail to me...
"Tracy, Hey good morning, umm this is ___ (Mr. Weird Voice Mail). I'm not quite sure you even remember me, I think we started talking right at the beginning of the summer and hopefully you have had a good summer. I can't believe how fast it has past, it has definitely been a busy crazy summer. I am really looking forward to the Fall. I love love the fall. Even being from California, I still really appreciate the change of seasons. I love the fall and even the Winter. So anyways, hopefully umm.. you know.. we can get together. You know, I think you are very appealing. You just sound fun and interesting and I think we would have an amazing fun time making a tent or enjoying just some good curry or whatever. It would be fun to break away for lunch of maybe dinner this week. Or whatever, so keep me in mind and I think we will have an amazing fun time. And then you can be the one chasing me… but I will be nice to ya don't worry. ha ha *pause* I'm a geek, Sorry. Have a good Tuesday k? Bye."
There is no reason to have this much talking going on in a voice mail you leave for someone... just sayin.

Retro
Vintage is so in. I love the look of old photo's and other old stuff mixed in with a little modern flare.
I have an app on my phone that I sometimes have a lot of fun pulling out and using. A lot of you may already know about it, but.... I love the Retro Camera App!! It is so fun!

Picture Display Idea
I wanted to display some Black and white pictures of a city. I picked out some pictures I took in Chicago last November and blew up my favorite and printed a couple others just to see if I wanted to do anything with them. When I picked up my pictures I realized that I didn't print the city picture big enough for the frame that I wanted to put it in. So... I had an idea...
Since I am really into the collage look these days... I decided to put cute scrapbook paper to use again. I actually like how it turned out better than if I would have just blown up the one picture bigger. It has added a little change to my room.

Awesome Shirt
As some of you know... I love Haiku's. I used to write them all the time with my co-workers, and I have written a few here on my blog. So when I saw someone wearing this shirt for the first time... I laughed out loud.

Flashback Friday 28
I believe this picture was taken in 1987. Our family was visiting Gunison Utah to see my Grandparents. My cousins's were there as well. Gunison is a small town... not much to do, so one of our big activities we do everytime we went to visit was hike to the "G" up on the mountain.
In this picture I am with my sisters and my cousins Brandon and Travis. We were on our way to the G.

Confessions of a Brunette on the Internet 81
Can anyone tell me what the point of Google + is? I am on it, but I have no idea why, or what I am supposed to do with it. I just get emails telling me that someone added me to their circle of friends... and I think to myself. That is great. Now what?
Speaking of other online things... I finally got on board and signed up for Pintrest. It doesn't seem like it would be that addicting, but it kind of is. Besides reading blogs, this is now what I do when I am bored at work. It is a great idea to keep all your inspirations and ideas organized and easy to access. Brilliant.
My singing BFF, Wes finally came back from his summer internship. I missed him. Seriously. He came over to visit and talk and it was fun to catch up. While we were talking we brought up San Francisco... I don't remember why, but then we were talking about Alcatraz and he told me he had slept there in a cell. NO WAY!!! I have never met someone else that had done that. I told him that I did too. Wow... that bonded our friendship even more. Here we have been friends all this time and I never knew. It never got brought up. I think its a crazy awesome thing to have in common.
Over the weekend I saw 2 movies in the theater. First one I saw was "One Day". I actually didn't really want to see it because I hate Anne Hathaway. Seriously, I do. But my friend had already seen the other one I had wanted to see and wanted to see this one. So we went. Oh how I wish I could get those 2 hours of my life back... and my money. As soon as the movie ended I said out loud "I hate that movie". It was SO long and I had to listen to Anne Hathaway's fake British accent and I could not wait for the movie to end. YUCK I hated that movie!! The other movie that I saw was "The Help"... the movie that I REALLY wanted to see. That movie was SO good! So glad that I went to see it to get the other crappy movie out of my head. "The Help" was a feel good movie, one that I will most likely own when it comes out.
When I went to the Crater again this week, I was going back to get my purse out of the locker and the guy working at the desk of the crater started talking to me about how glad he was that I came back to get my purse because it would have been really awkward for him to walk out wearing it. Which he then told me that he had been married for 22 years now and was really not gay (which I didn't think he was and wasn't going to say anything) Which then turned the conversation to him telling me that gay men hit on him all the time, but he still wasn't tempted to be gay. He then continued to tell me that if he did ever decide to become gay, that he would want Jerad (my scuba instructor) to be his first. Ummm awkward. I didn't ask for any of that information... yet... it was still given to me. How do I end up in these conversations. Really.
Sunday at my parents house I was chillin when my dad came in the room. He asked me if I had seen what he built in the back house. My dad and his projects. You just never know what he is going to do next. So I followed him to the back house to see his most recent project. When I walked in, there was a stage with his whole sound system and mixing boards all hooked up and microphones on and ready to go. So... I got up on stage, my dad put on "The Beatles" and we both sang on stage together. It was pretty awesome. A great daddy daughter bonding moment. I sure do love my dad. I think this stuff is so great. We could totally have an open mic night over there now... or a family talent show perhaps?
On Monday, we had ward FHE. Everyone was supposed to bring a game and there were a bunch of tables set up and groups of people were at different tables playing different games. As soon as I walked in, I saw my new good friend Brittany and her roommates and a couple other people. So I decided to join them and play poker. We didn't gamble.... just played for fun... and to mix things up, the winner got to pick a truth or dare for everyone at the table to do. One of the girls that won picked truth and asked everyone to share their most embarrassing moment. The one and only guy at the table, Jason, who is also my neighbor shared the best story that I had heard in a while. Short summary of his story. It was a first date with this girl, they were on a group date eating at some place. First bite and he starts to choke. The meat gets stuck in his throat, but he could breathe. He goes to the restroom to try and cough it out, all the guys try and help him out. Nothing is working. They end up having to go to the hospital. The whole group date goes. Because he can't swallow water, they send him to the ER. Everyone follows. He finally convinces most of them to leave, but his date still stayed despite his protest. They hand him a hospital gown to change into because he is going to have to have the piece of meat surgically removed from his throat, he really didn't want his date there, but she still stayed. He was put out, meat taken out, then he took his date home. HA HA HA HA... how amazing is that story? It was better to hear him tell it. We were all laughing pretty hard. We all had so much playing poker that night that I think it was decided that we wanted to do it again... maybe on a somewhat regular basis. P.S. I won the last game that night.
