Hello, It's been awhile

I don't  know if anyone reads this blog anymore, but I was in a blogging mood so i thought i would do a little Christmas Post, I shall Call it: My Christmas Wish List. I have to admit it has been really weird getting into the Christmas spirit of gift giving and receiving. Living out of a backpack for the last 6 months made me realize I don't NEED the things that I have once wanted before. HOWEVER, I started to look through my binder o things i "need" and I thought i would share because they make me smile. Enjoy

Garden

 This is the Blue moon Birdfeeder, I could just see myself sitting on the porch watching the birds flutter by... get it at gardeners.com

 Skin

Ever wonder why swedish women have such great skin?? This is the answer (so i've heard) This is a protein rich (eggwhites)  bar that cleans and tighten pores. My skin is craving this right now..

These adorable, yet sophisticated hydrangea hair pins are a must to make any mane look even more spectacular. get them at woodlandbelle.etsy.com

2 Strikes and You're OUT!!!!

So rusty and i went out to for dinner at this Greek restaurant called Aristo's , its across the street from the University of Utah. The First time we went we were completely ignored and sat at our table for 45 mins and then we left! We thought we would never go again but we have a gift certificate to there and so we went back tonight. We sit down, we are served and we start eating. So far so good, then as rusty goes to take his second bite of his food, he sees a black thing and decides to inspect it. I look over and see a black beetle looking object on his plate, and i say is that a bug?? and he says i think so, we inspect it more and lo and behold it is a small beetle! So we Quietly tell the waitress and she takes the food back. Now i understand that bugs get into food and it happens and i am not mad about that, still gross, but what they did after is what makes me LIVID! and most of you know i don't get "LIVID" that often. SO the waitress comes back and brings a plate with a burnt piece of something and says "sometimes burnt rice gets into the food" WHAT! REALLY! I think i know what a burnt piece of rice looks like I AM NOT AN IDIOT! for ONE there was no rice in our dish and TWO Why didn't she bring out the piece of "rice" that was in our food?? Explain that one!!! And THREE I know what a beetle looks like and it was a beetle NOT a piece of burnt rice GIVE ME A BREAK!!! Then they made us pay for our appetizer and then as we are leaving all of the servers and hostesses are staring at us as we leave. ARRRRRGGG!!! that made me more mad because they were wrong and they made it look like it was our fault!!! BAD SERVICE! I will never ever go back there again!! phew! I feel so much better, thanks for listening.

New Blog for Africa

Rusty and i have started a new blog for our Africa Trip, here it is:
http://onwalkerbout.blogspot.com/

(I will still be posting stuff on this blog too)

Not Much Going on here

(Us at family Christmas Party)

Not a lot has been going on in the Walker household. I got a job (finally) I work as the Office Technician/Assistant at a preschool. I really like it. We bought our tickets to Scotland and Africa and we are super excited! I 've been planing like crazy! I can't wait for May to come! So if you are wondering why we have tickets to scotland and africa, it's is because we are traveling through Europe first and then down to Africa. I will be making a new blog for our trip so that you can follow our journey. Hope all is well!
