MY CRAZY DAY YESTERDAY!!!!

So I think that Grayson is starting to have nightmares, :( which breaks my heart! But the past few nights Grayson has been going to bed at 10pm and waking up Crying at 5am... Grayson typically sleeps to 8am so he is not getting enough sleep for  a happy 2 yr old. Well, he never wakes up crying so I am assuming that he is having nightmares cause he doesn't want to go back to sleep even though he has to use all his will power to keep his eyes open...

Anyways neither Kasey nor I was able to get much sleep so we were all needless to say a tad bit on edge... I spent the entire day asking Kasey "Are you Ok?" and he spent the entire day telling me "I'm fine!" Well on the Weather Forecast on Friday it said that Saturday was going to be a pretty decent day so we had made plans to go to the Hogle Zoo... Well we woke up Saturday Morning and the Weather said that it was going to rain so we spent the morning debating whether we should go.

I needed to go pick up my bountiful basket @ 9am so I told Kasey to think about it and let me know what he decided when I got back. Well I went to pick up my BB... This was my first time so I was a little bit nervous, I didn't know quite what to expect. I got there about 20 min early, so I walked up to who I assumed was the site coordinator and asked if there was anything that I could help them with.?.  She was a pretty big Winch...  I was just trying to be nice and she snapped at me ("NO, we have everything already done"!!!) Ok!!! So I for sure was the first person there to pick up my basket, but because this was my first time I was not sure what to do... Well apparently you are supposed to start a line... well I was not made aware of this fact until others started to arrive. So I ended up being like 7th in line, (but o-well)... I got my basket (which had, 1 pineapple, 1 cantaloupe, 1 {60z} Blackberry, 1 bag of apples, 3 artichokes, like 12 onions {what in heaven's name I am going to do with 12 onions I am not sure but I'll make it work}, 1 head of lettuce, 3 cobs of corn, 3 Mangoes, 2 cucumbers, 7 Roma tomatoes, and I paid $16 for 12 [6oz] blackberries... all for $15 {excluding extra blackberries} overall not to bad for the price... I hate mangoes so I gave them to my Mother in Law along with a few onions and one of my artichokes.. I have NEVER SEEN, cooked, or eaten an artichoke before so I had to do some research. I am a little intimidated but I will give it a try! :) If you are looking for some ways to use, cook, and eat artichokes visit my Bunce's Blog of Healthy Living at http://buncesblogofhealthyliving.blogspot.com/ in about an hour I will have it updated with a new blog all about ARTICHOKES!!!

Anyways, I got home and we decided to go to Ogden and go to Zuchers Party Store to pick up Mickey Mouse Decor for Grayson 2nd Birthday Party that we will be Having in IF on Saturday 28th. Then we went to Victoria Secret because they keep sending me coupons for FREE Panties... YEAH for FREE!!! Also they are having 8 for $35 on their Secret Garden Collection of Lotions, Sprays, and Body Washes... I just CAN'T pass that up!!! Well after shopping we went to go to the Outback Steakhouse, but sadly enough they were not open yet so we ended up going to The Crackerbarrel... I have been told that the place is AMAZING but I personally felt it wasn't anything Super Great, sure the food was good, but that is it, just Good... I could have easily made it at home for half the price...

We got home and did a lot of cleaning around the house in unneeded anticipation of the possibility that we might have some friends over... Well we ended up going to Chuck a Rama and ate our little hearts content and came home to clean home and a WARM bed!  So overall the day was nothing like what we had planned for but ended up being an overall fun and exciting day!

I LOVE MY LITTLE FAMILY!!!

Positive Thinking...Happy to be of service..

Alot of the general Quotations that I am writing are coming directly from my program... "The Attacking Anxiety and Depression Program." If in the next few weeks you are noticing that your way of life is being bettered by these activities and my blogs please contact me, I would love to get you set up with a Trial of this program that you can try in your own home. Kaseymelissa123@hotmail.com

As some of you might know I am working at a new job... it is called Mid West Center for Stress and Anxiety... This job has opened up an opportunity to try the program that I am selling to others and 1/10th of the total price that everyone pays... Well needless to say I am very excited to be able to use this program in my life and be able to not only benefit my friends and immediate contacts but be able to benefit anyone that is willing to take the time to listen (read my blogs) and want to put forth an effort... Today I was reading about ways to putting our negative thoughts and feelings behind us...Focusing on our Strengths and not to fear the thought of potential Failure... I want to go into a little bit more detail on a few of these and then I am going to give you a couple of examples of activities you can try to help boost your moods and your self esteem.


There are 5 types of Negative Thinking...

1.All or Nothing thinking... This type of thinking is usually drastic measures that people take... For example... Someone that maybe had a bad day at the office is going to feel that their entire day is shot with no chance of happiness because of one mistake or mishap that could have happened 10 hours
before.

2.Negative Predictions... Because of something in the past (an even that ended negatively) we assume everything that is associated with/ or is the same type of circumstance we automatically make a prediction that this too will turn out negative.

3.Filtering Information Negatively... Ex. Today at work I had 4 people tell me that I was so calming to them, I had a soothing voice and that I was trustworthy... I had 1 person that told me I was pushy and caused them more stress than before... Instead of listening to the 4 people that paid me great compliments I would usually let that 1 angry person who can barley handle his own life begin to run mine because his thoughts are the ones that are running through my head not the great compliments that I was given... WE NEED TO STOP THIS WAY OF THINKING!!!

4.Mind Reading... So I don't know about you but I don't own a crystal ball or a hippy over sized dress and some nappy hair, so I don't think I can read yo' mind. But that is what we do... WE read your mind, we see you talking quietly over there to someone and I am all knowin' that you are talking bad about me... You know what People, quit psyching yourself out... Most of the time they are not talking about you!!! And if they are O-WELL! Why waste your energy on worrying. Is that going to do you any good? NO!! Quick Story for you, On my second to last day at McDonald's I was running shift. I would occasionally walk back to the office to check labor or what not and I would see my bosses talking and they would abruptly stop as soon as I got within ears distance. I litterally made myself nauseous worrying about what they were saying about me and what I had done now to make them want to talk bad about me. Well come to find out after all the STRESS and WORRY that there was nothing to STRESS about. They were back there being secretive because they were all signing a farewell card for me... REALLY MELISSA!!! I wasted so much time and energy that day worrying about what I had done now, was it the way I looked, was it something I said... NO it was something good and I turned the WHOLE situation around and assumed the worst. Let's stop assuming the worst!

5. Fear of Failure...This way of thinking stems from the strong need for total acceptance from yourself and from others. We tend to set our self's up for a no win situation. Then when we fail, we feel disgraced, embarrassed and unworthy of respect. Fear of Failure is Fear of REJECTION!!! This fear of rejections prevents us from the possibilities of failure - decisions that result in jobs never taken, relationships never started, promotions never asked for, and independence NEVER ACHIEVED! The key is to FAIL successfully, to understand that falling short is always a possibility and to recognize that it is a part of life. You should never stop trying.. keep trying until you get it right! The only way you will ever get comfortable with rejection and failure is to expose yourself to it.
So when you try and you fail your pride might take a hit, but your self remains unchanged. You are still the same person with the same talents and abilities.

A lot of times we are not even FAILING we are making mistakes..Mistakes are opportunities for Growth and nothing more... Remember this... Room for improvement and nothing more... Get that in your brain... say it 100 times if you must... it is so important to know that it is OK to make mistakes, just learn from them!

Something that I want everyone to try is taking a little notebook for 1 day and making a little tick every time you think a negative thought... EVERY TIME! The average person not struggling with anxiety or depression has about 300 negative thoughts a DAY! 300!!! We really need to focus on getting back to just being happy.

After you have figured out your level of negativism by your amount of Checks in your little note pad I want you to take an hour out of you day and write down every negative thought you have.. Then I want you to replace them with a positive thought. If we can get into the habit of having our brain naturally do this our negative thoughts will begin to dwindle them self's. I am giong to give you an example of what I want you to do... and an example of what is not going to help.

Bad Example...
Today sucked............ Tommorow will be better.

*Why did today suck? What are YOU going to DO to make sure tommorow will be better?

Good Example...
Today was frustrating because I work a commision based job and I didn't make many sells today, it is the end of the pay period, so I didn't make much money and money is important...............I got two sells today that will go through on Friday and Saturday, that is great because I will start out next week/pay period with a fantastic conversion rate and I was able to help those two people get the help that they needed to break free of thier Depression. Good for me!

Ok... So no that we are all on information OVERLOAD!! I would really like some positive participation because I care for all of you and I want us all to be as happy as we can. So what I would like to see is I want everyone to post there favorite... Negative to Postive statement either here on my post or if you would rather you can Email them to me.. kaseymelissa123@hotmail.com . I hope that this can really help and I look forward to the feed back! Look forward to more helpful tips and activities to obtain the healthiest happiest life. You can also check out my blog..

New Job... Wanting to already throw in the towel...

So I have been at my new job now for a little over a week... I am not quite sure right now to what my feelings are of this job. I feel that when I compare it to the hell that I went through on a daily basis and the toll that this put on my relationship working at McDonalds and I feel that nothing could be worse. I am having a hard time though, I am definetley struggling. I feel that I need to be looking for something that is a little bit more permanent. I was really excited going into this job because they were really over talking this whole situation. They made the job seem that it was the best, simplest job that I could have came around and I was so lucky to have found it. Now I am wondering if I should have left at all. I am looking for something that I can work the hours that I need, so that I don't have to have a babysitter. I know that this is unrealistic but I am just not happy here... Maybe I just want to be a stay at home mom. I wish that we could affort it. Maybe one day!!!
Anyways if I keep dwelling on what I hate then I don't feel that this job will work for me... I am going to hope for the best.  YEAH FOR MONEY!!!

Worst Day!! Crawling Back Tail Between Legs!!

So... It's official, today is the worst day of my life!!! I just found out that I know longer have the opportunity to take the job that I was offered. I left McDonalds with what I thought was the happiest day of my life ahead of me and now I just found out that I am going to have to go crawling back begging for my job back. I don't know what I am going to do!!!! This was supposed to be the best day of my working life and now it has turned into the WORST!!!!  ...............................................................PSYCH!!! Just kidding!! I am sooooo done with McDonalds! I start my new job tommorow morning at 10am! Soon I will be on the perfect schedule with no stinky clothes and no greasy shoes dirtying the floor of my car! I can honestly say that I left with alot of emotion today! I was sad to see a few of my Favorites go, there was also a couple times that I felt the urge to cry.


I did recieve a few written good bye's that I will post here so to never forget.
*THANK YOU* Thank you for always being so cheerful. I'm glad that I've had the opportunity to meet you. Enjoy your new job! I hope it brings you great joy! (or at least more joy than McDonalds gives you). I'll miss you and your lovely smile, let's keep in touch.  Much Love, Kelsea Brooks


*Melissa* Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate how much you have done for this store. I know that we have not always gotten along but I wanted to tell you that I truely wish you all of the happiness in the world. Good luch in all your future endevors. Julie


*Melissa* I am really happy for you. Good luck with your new job! I will miss you! Love Brandi


*Melissa* I hope you have much success at your new job. We will miss you. Amber


I am very happy for the oppportunities that I have had and the opportunities that are to come! Thank you to everyone that has made my days at McDonalds more than just bareable. I hope that I can keep in contact with you outside of McDonalds since my goal for myself and family is to NEVER go back to McDonalds (except to pick up my money) ever again!


Thanks again to EVERY one!!!

Grayson and our Gay Wingers Waiter

So Grayson and I went on a mother son date tonight to Wingers cause they were offering a Double Sauce Burger and unlimited Fries for $6.99. Well our waiter that we got was SUPER Gay... (which is 100% ok with me) He was SOOOO nice and pretty funny too. Grayson has this thing these days where he likes to call every younger man Daddy (whether he looks like Kasey or not). So Grason kept calling our Waiter daddy. Well our Waiter (for obvious reasons) thought that was just the funniest thing EVER! He just kept coming over to our table and talking to Grayson. At one point in time Grayson was being obnoxious (surprise I know), and throwing the splenda packets all over the table. Well Waiter saw I was getting annoyed so he came over sat at the table and kindly asked Gray so sit down and eat his burger... Low and behold Grayson did just that! What is that about :). Well at the end of the meal Waiter brought Grayson out some Free Ice cream with Oreo and Whipped Cream! Grayson was SOOOO happy. I thought he was a wonderful waiter so I tipped nearly the entire price of our meal. Just a heads up to the waiters and waitress in Logan... Treat me and my family well and I will return the favor!

I can't believe it!!!!!

So over the past 4 years I have been completely miserable at my current job (McDonalds of Logan, Utah). Well last Wednesday 3/23/2011 at approximatley 4:40pm I put in my two weeks notice! I can not believe that I did it! I have never felt so FREE! No matter how crappy my boss treats me now (which believe me she is definetley not being any different, possibly worse than before), I am smiling all the way. I LOVE knowing that in one week I will no longer be stressed to my maxed and HATING life.  I do plan on having a bomb fire on the night of Wednesday April 6th to burn every peice of McDonalds attire that I have bought! I know that this seems a little bit dramatic but if you do not work at McDonalds of Logan you have absolutley no idea what we go through on a daily basis. If you do work at McDonalds I will miss most of you and am sad to see some of you go... but for the most part my EXTEREME happiness well outways my sadness!

P.S. I purposly De-friended Julie so I could post this without her reading it. So any of you reading this from McDonalds unitl April 6th whatever happens at blogspot stays on blogspot... Thanks!!!

I am Number Four (Book and Movie Review)

Yesterday Kasey and I went to go see "I am numer 4" at Movies 5 @ 6:45pm. I saw my district manager there. She acted as if she didn't want anything to do with me... but her husband was very friendly and conversible.
So the book: I started and finished listening to the audio book within 2 days. I was good, but I don't know if I would recomened it to anyone who wants to read an educational adult read. It is fun, romantic, funny, and sci/fi, all in one. I would give it a 8.5 out of 10.
The movie: The movie for the most part followed the book. There was an important part of the book that they did not a hit in this movie... I do have a feeling that they will catch you up on in the next film (The Power of Six). So I am not too worried.
 So I side story on the the ticket taking guy at the theater...

Imagine this guy in a theater person's uniform. He had HUGE arms and a TINY wast and a shirt that was 10 times too small. Speaking of muscles, the main character in the movie... very attractive and very attractive muscles!!!

This guy is not to bad to look at and with him being from the Planet Lorian they have an Emotion of Love that is endless and  he is such a hopeless romantic! Besides his Love, there is another girl, #6... she is also from the planet Lorian... she is pretty good looking (so says Kasey).

I don't want to give away the complete scariness of the Bad Guys... the Mogadorians... But here is a sneek peek.  I really enjoyed the movie and even though Kasey thought there was too much mooshiness I think that he liked it too.

Idaho Falls Visit

So since I had a two day break in a row (wow I know 2 days in a row) it wasn't on a weekend since I only get one of those a month and this months was used studying and cleaning my house... So Kasey was so sweet (or just didn't want to go to work), and decided to take Tuesday and Wednesday off as well so we could all go see my family. Since my Grandma sent me a advertisement about the exhibit at the Museum of Idaho (Bodies) I was definitely intrigued so we decided to make that part of our trip.

Grayson slept most of the way down, which was great so I could get some studying in... (I finished 5 chapters... GO ME!) When we arrived we went straight to Skyline Lanes (One of IF's many Bowling Allies) where my Grandpa and Aunt were bowling in a tournament. Grayson really like watching everyone bowl. He would clap and cheer every time someone would hit any pins.

After he got bored with the bowling he went into the arcade section and decided that we wanted to play with the race cars... he was so cute. He loves playing with Kasey's Race Seat that we have at our house... He just like driving I guess..=]

 He started to get antsy so Kasey and I decided to head to the Museum. I thought that the exhibit was AMAZING!!! It is definitely meant just for education purposes. It is not meant for entertainment. I learned a lot and I was so intrigued by the fact that they had actual HUMAN bones, muscles, organs, etc just out in the open... there we some things that were encased but the actual Human Shaped bones and muscles were just out for anyone to get right up next to.

This one was one of my favorites... It is the skeletal and muscular parts from the same person... Separated and then connected together by the fingertips... There was a room that I found interesting but sad at the same time. There was a fetal room that encompassed most of the important stages of pregnancy and there were actual fetuses in different stages of growth in jars showing from 10 days to 24 weeks... in the later fetus they had inserted a red calcium dye to help you see the bone growth at the different stages. At the end they had placenta of a woman who had triplets... Crazy stuff! They had a child section with a cute little saddle that I only got Gray to sit on long enough for pictures. :)

We stayed the night at my parents and Grayson did not know how to stay still in the bed... He kept rolling around all night and I would roll him back. Finally at 6am I just let him roll and yep he fell right off the bed... and then he was up, so we all had a pretty early morning. On our way home we stopped at the Mall to pick up my FREE panties from Victoria Secret... I love FREE!  They have these car stroller things that Grayson really wanted to ride on but they were $5 to rent... $5 really is that necessary?

Gray slept most of the way home as well too... It was a good visit that I am glad we took... I enjoyed every minute!!!

2 Days off... IF here we come!

So I have 2 days off in a row so Kasey also took the days off and we are packing up and heading to Idaho Falls bright and early in the morning. We are going to visit The Museum of Idaho with thier BODIES exhibit...  These last minute trips are great... all except I don't ever get my house cleaned... and not to mention the price of gas right now (ouch!)!!!  I am excited  for my Family to see Gray... it's been since Christmas and he has changed so much since then!  The other day I caught Grayson sitting on his couch imitating the way his daddy likes to sit. It was so PRECIOUS!!!

I always dread driving long distances with him, he is very antsy and has a hard time (we think with car sickness). Amid it all I got some super cute shots from out last trip down to IF around Christmas time 2010.



Grayson loves to watch Mickey Mouse Club House on my Ipod... He just looks so grown up!

A quicky :) ... Another play on words

This will be a quicky :) since I need sleep to wake at 4am for work.

My Grandma Bernie... What a WONDERFUL, AMAZING, woman. I just think that she is the Greatest. I don't know what my life would be like without her. She is the one that takes care of my mother when my dad is at work and she is always smiling and cheerful no matter the circumstance. In the mail today she sent me a letter and a clip from the Post Register (Idaho Falls Local Paper). It was for the Exhibition that is at the Museum of Idaho currently till Sept 5th, 2011. They are currently hosting THE BODIES. Famous athletes and scientist have donated their bodies to science. They are currently on display... it was described as an Anatomy Book brought to life.

I am excited to go visit this exhibit the next time we are in IF. Thank Gma for taking the time to send me that clipping. I would have probably never known about it otherwise.

BURLESQUE!!!

Burlesque!!!!! Loved Every Minute of it! I can not believe I enjoyed a movie with Cher and Christina Agulera. I am not really a fan of either of them, but this movie is one of my new Favorites.

Here are a few Pictures of the cast and the show! I love this boy... he is quite the attractive young man!!!

My favorite girl from "You Again" was in this show... hard to see her playing a bad girl role... but I still love her.

This was my Favorite Song from the Movie... after you live throught the love story this song just fits perfectly!!!

I hope everyone that watches it loves it as much as me!!!

Healthy Breakfast!

So as a pre-story to this mornings breakfast winnings I guess I should tell you a little about Grayson's eating habits lately. For the past few months Grayson has been VERY picky with what he will and will not eat. His staple diet has consists of PopTarts for Breakfast and Easy Mac, Spagettios, and Campbells Chicken Noodle Soup for Lunch and Dinner... Honest, this is all that he will eat. So today I thought I would try once again to feed him something healthy. I scooped him some Yogut and put some strawberries and Raspberries in a bowl for him... I was quite sckeptical, but low and behold :)   HE ATE IT! YEAH!!!!!

I was so proud of him. I could not believe it. Then for lunch I made him a ham and cheese sandwich. Guess what?!? He ate that too! I am so HAPPY! My baby is growing up!

My DIRTY Bath...;)

This Blog is not what 90% of you are thinking... I just thought I would get you attention with a semi intriguing title... :)  This will be short and sweet since I have already blogged today. I just wanted to add this so when I look back for something to laugh at in the future, I will have this.

I don't typically take a bath... I think that they are not as clean as showers and I feel they take more time. I was feeling kind of lazy today though so I decided to take some time for myself with a nice hot bath. Well my baby boy likes to throw EVERYTHING into the tub when it is occupied.

So every shampoo, conditioner, bodywash, loofa, ect... was in the tub with me. I was seconds away from getting out, I was leaning back to rinse out my hair when I feel something touch my leg. I look up startled and I was TOTALLY disgusted. I tried to keep my tempor from rising but it was very difficult.

My Wonderful son had taken the TOILET CLEANING BRUSH and was swishing it around in my water and using it as a loofa to clean my leg. GROSS!!!!!!!! So I calmy stood up, drained all the water, turned the water to the hottest tempurature that  I could stand (and then I turned it hotter still), and I took a 30 min shower scrubbing from head to toe.

Honeymoon (Sep 2008)

Kasey and I were married September 27th, 2008. I will post a blog later of our wedding, but I was rummaging through all my photos and I found some from our HM. I thought I would post them with my stories that I can remember.  Before the picture posting a few stories that you may enjoy. Well Kasey and I were pregnant while on our honeymoon... and between the motion sickness of the cruise and the morning sickness of the pregnancy I needless to say didn't enjoy the cruise as much as I would have hoped. We did however spend TONS of money on the professional photos they offer on the cruise. I will have to try to dig them out some time and post them up... They are good for laugh. Anyways, we spent our honeymoon on a cruise that ported out of LA and went to Catalina Island and some City in Mexico... pardon my memory sucks. We enjoyed some great food and even though I was skeptical of being sat at a table with people I did not know it turned out to be a good time. During Breakfast hours you could sit where ever (not with your assigned ship mates) and we got sat with a group of Hilarious older couples. This was most of their 10-15 cruises and they had many fun stories to tell. We enjoyed a few great shows that were put on and I bought some super cheap super adorable Roxy Jeans from the Cruise Gift Shop. Since it was our HM I decided to splurge on a Deluxe Sweet, (which was still nearly smaller than my own bedroom) which came with the benefits of boarding and leaving the cruise ship VIP style (first). Getting on the ship first was GREAT! We got hurried into our own private check in line and bypassed the 45-60 min wait of boarding. When we left on the other hand leaving first was a different story. We got to LAX around 8:30am and our flight was not till 6pm. We sat and waited forever!!!! We stopped at the burger joint in the airport and spent $40  on two burgers, fries, and drinks.  Well on to the pictures!!! YEAH!

At the beginning of the Cruise they made us all put on our life jackets to prepare for the worst. Well needless to say I had to take a picture!



The Beginning of the Cruise was a blasty... I swear an announcement came over the bedroom intercom every 10 min.





They Semi-Decorated our Room with Honeymoon Decor... I don't think that it was worth the $100 I spent to have them do it. (The decor was, I'm sure from the $1 Store.)

 











We went out onto the deck to see the scenery as soon as we had Catalina in our sites. It was a beautiful place. We went on a bottomless boat to see the fish and went on a bus tour around the city before we ended our our trip on Catalina with some shopping and Ice Cream.

  

This was from the Fancy Schmancy Dinner... Everyone was asked to dress in formal wear.

CUTE COUPLE!!!!!

Right outside the tourist Shopping Center Located, conveniently directly off the Port in Mexico! 



The Cute Bunny Made for us!!!



This was taken Right before we started Packing to leave the Ship. Next to Kasey is the Elephant made for us out of hand towels. As soon as we got to the airport I went to the restroom. When I sat down I felt my whole body rocking back and forth. This feeling didn't stop for a few days. Overall it was an all right vacation. I feel that land vacations are more my style. I love being able to spend time with my wonderful husband no matter what we were doing.!!! I Love you Baby!



Things to avoid doing at McDonalds if you don't want me to laugh at you...

OK.... So over the past nearly 4 years at good ol' Mickey D's I have come across some (this is nice saying) interesting people. I have SOOOO many stories of things that are said to me or a fellow employee.

I will proceed to list these stories with some of them having pre-storie context to help you understand the funniness of the situation.

ME=McDonalds Employee  MC=McDonalds Customer

#1... ME: What can we make for you?   MC: A McCafe Hot Chocolate. ME: Ok, would you like that made with Whole or Nonfat milk? MC: What's the Difference?  Melissa thinking (Are you serious...) after a good chuckle ME gets back to customer saying... ME: One has lots of fat and one has no fat. (Really people... what is the difference between whole and non-fat milk)

#2... Pre-Story...Customer pulls up to speaker and is not even fully to a stop...MC: HELLO... (clearing throat sound very loudly)... Hello is anyone there...(extremely annoying whistling)... HELLO HELLO HELLO (all this with in a 5 sec time fame) ME:Hi what can we make for you?  MC: Ummm.. Just a sec...     (People PLEASE do not hello us if you are not even ready to order!!!!!)

#3... Pre-Story... A McD Egg McMuffin is made with Egg, Canadian Bacon, and Cheese...MC: Calling McDonalds to Complain... Melissa:(answering the phone)...Logan McDonalds this is Melissa.  MC:WHO IS THIS???? Melissa: Like I said this is Logan McDonalds and my name is Melissa, how can I help you?  MC... Yes, I just came through your drive thru and ordered an Egg Mcmuffin with no egg and when I got home I checked my bag and I got a Muffin with Cheese and Canadian Bacon!!! Melissa: Ok... what is the problem? An egg mcmuffin with no egg would be a muffin with cheese and Canadian. I wanted a muffin with NO CHEESE AND ONLY SAUSAGE!!! That is why I ordered an EGG MCMUFFIN WITH NO EGG!!!!   Melissa: Ok mam, I am sorry that you did not receive..(them I am cut off) MC: I am not going to argue with you I just want what I want and that is what I expect every time I come!!! Melissa: Ok mam... next time if you could please just ask for a Sausage McMuffin with no cheese then you will get a muffin with only sausage. MC: I WANT AN EGG MCMUFFIN NO EGG... THAT WOULD BE A MUFFIN WITH NO CHEESE ONLY SAUSAGE!!!!
Melissa (wants to say): Well mam since you seem to think you know better than me as to how to work here please apply at www.mcstate.com. Instead Melissa says...sorry for the inconvenience, have a great day.

#4... MC: I would like a #3 with Coffee.  ME: Ok Sir would you like that with Cream or Sugar. I would like it BLACK and could you put two sugars in the coffee please. (What???) I don't drink coffee myself and I know that when you order a coffee black that is with NO cream and NO sugar... Silly people...

I know that there are soooo many more stories to come. I will be making this a frequent blog. If for no one else's enjoyment but for my own. I love the quality of people that are living and breathing amongst us in this country.

On a side note.... McDonalds New Oatmeal... DELICIOUS!!!!

Borders & Burger King's Bash with the Bunces

Borders is closing their doors permanently in Logan and so I was there picking up some anatomy books and things to help me finish my Personal Trainer Class and I found some awesome flash cards... I am pretty excited!

After we checked out we decided to go get Grayson some BK Chicken Tenders (his favorite). They asked him if he would like to have a crown... Yeah for BK crowns!
Grayson is such a cutie! He kept trying to put the crown on daddy's head. Luckily he did succeed a couple times and don't worry I got some pictures...

 I am loving the intense disintrest Kasey is trying to portray in this photo. :)

  

 Don't tell anyone that we were eating at the competition... I don't typically like fast food, especially since I live at McDonalds. I also know how completely unhealthy it is, but
I am human and I have temptations... and some time I give in. :(  I'm hoping within the year to start a super realistic healthy life style.

Our Family in a Nut Shell...

Hello Everyone,

So this is the FIRST blog for the Bunce family. I will introduce my little family and explain a little about what makes us tick... Throught out my Blogs I will share some of my Favorite and Not so Favorite Recipie cooking Adventures.

My Name is Melissa Laird Bunce... I am 26 and we currently live in Logan, Utah. I was born in England on an American Air Force Base on November 15. I grew up in Idaho Falls Idaho. I attended Hillcrest High School where I graduated in May/2003. I moved to Logan, Utah in October/2004 and have lived here for 6 years. I currently work as a Manager at the Local McDonald's... I know that it is not the ideal job, but I am very happy to have a good job in these hard economic times. They treat me well and I have been there for 3 1/2 years. I am currently working towards becoming a Certified Personal Trainer/Nutrisionist. I know (again) Person Trainer/Nutristionist and McDonalds...? But I am (like I said) so Happy to have a job!  I am excited to be able to help others become the best and healthiest they can be. I love to Cook, Work Out, listen to audio books, (I know... Lame, but I don't have a lot of time but I still love books so audio books are by best alternative.) play at the park with my baby, and watch a few of my favorite shows (Vampire Diaries, Glee, Law and Order SVU and Biggest Looser). My Husband, Kasey Bunce and I were Married in September/2008.

Kasey has lived in Logan Utah (Cache Valley) his entire life. He was born  January 26 in the Logan Hospital. He has worked in the Machinist field for 12 years and is currently working at local machine shop here in Logan. Kasey Graduated in 1999 from Sky View High School. He loves to work on cars and play with is live size arcade Racing Play Seat. He Loves action movies and Everybody Loves Raymond. During the summer we love to go on Bike Rides with our Son Grayson Bunce. I know Bike Rides... What is that?!? But it is a great cardio exercise and I love the (semi-fresh) air.

Grayson Bunce was Born June 1st, 2009. When he was born he stayed for a week in the NeoNatal Intensive Care Unit. His first, nearly two years of life have FLOWN by. He learned to crawl on the day of his 9 months doctors appt. and he learned to walk on the day of his 12 month doctors appointment. He has given us a couple health scares... (a serious Flu, where he lost 5 pounds within 3 days... and he just recently fought off pneumonia) but over all he is quite the Healthy little guy. Our biggest challenge in the past few months as parents has been taking away  the binkis. He was BIG into pacifiers and taking them all away was tough on all of us! He currently has a vocab of 11 words... He says.. Mommy, Daddy, baby, Ruff Ruff (doggy), Kitty, Candy, Soccer, BasyBall (basketball or bouncy ball, which ever applies to the situation) :) Uh oh, owy, and banana. He is SO technologically inclined.. He knows how to work and Ipod Touch or IPhone that he can get his hand on and loves to make phone calls whenever mom and dad aren't watching. He loves Music and LOVES to dance!!! His favorite Movies and TV shows are Mickey Mouse Club House, Handy Manny, Special Agent OSO, and Phineas and Furb. He loves the outdoors and always, always, always, wants to go outside... even if mommy and daddy are still in their PJ's. 

I can't wait to share all my fun experiences with all of you and am excited for the opportunity of helping my family and friends who live far away to keep in touch.
