Be Honest...to a Certain Extent

I am the kind of girl that will be standing at the checkout counter and if I see the cashier has something stuck in her teeth, I will tell her in a heartbeat. Now I know that may seem rude and the cashier might even get embarrassed, but at least she won't spend the rest of her shift with broccoli in her teeth.



I say be honest, but to a certain extent because there is a fine line between honesty and being rude. If I go clothes shopping with my friends, I will honestly tell them if something does not look good. I will be polite, but I won't lie and say something looks good if it doesn't. Then again, I would never go up to a stranger and tell them what they are wearing looks horrible. I will be the first one to tell you if you have something in your teeth or you have a booger though! This may seem strange, but I would want someone to tell me rather than let me walk around all day like that.

Life Lesson #6

Do not leave your clothes in the dressing room!!



Seriously people, this is an easy one. If you take the clothes in there, take them back out!! I was shopping at Kohl's yesterday and the lady that works there had the audacity to tell me to take my clothes out of the dressing room. I can honestly say I have NEVER left any clothes in a dressing room. I think that is unbelievably rude. The thing is, she only said it to me. Everyone else walking in and out she didn't say a word to. The hilarious thing is that a mom was helping her daughter try clothes on and when they left the dressing room, she told her daughter, "Just leave all the clothes in there; that is her job to clean them up." People have a misguided notion that all younger people are rude. I am very far from it. So anyway I sympathize with the grumpy woman who told me to take the clothes out of there when I was done. Have you seen some of those dressing rooms? Total messes. The next time you are trying on clothes, be kind and put them in the designated area when you are finished.

I appreciate any and all comments. If you wanted to follow my blog...that would be awesome too!

Halloween...in honor of October 1st

Since today is October First, I am getting pretty psyched for Halloween. I had a party last year and this is how one side of my basement was decorated. It was pretty awesome with all the lights out. We switched out the regular lights with black lights. I will post more pics of last Halloween later.

It would be fantastic if you would like to leave a comment or even follow my blog!! Thanks!

Cinnamon Chips and Apple Dip

I made this last night. They are cinnamon sugar chips and apples chopped up mixed with cinnamon and sugar.

How to make apple dip:

2 Large Apples
Sugar
Cinnamon

Peel the apples, cut up and mix with cinnamon and sugar (as much or as little as you would like).
I used the Magic Bullet to chop up the apples to make them smaller.

How to make Cinnamon Sugar chips:

Tortilla shells
Melted butter
Cinnamon
Sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush butter over the tortilla and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mixture. I did this on both sides, but that is up to you. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for roughly 5 minutes and then flip them over and bake for another 5. This ensures they are crunchy on both sides. You can bake for longer if you would like them crispier. Then eat them with the apple dip for a nice fall treat!!

Life Lesson #5...Really Listen To People

God gave us TWO ears and ONE mouth...

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
Winston Churchill



This is a lesson that is a lot easier said than done, especially for me. I am a talker. I could probably have a conversation about any topic in this world. I was very good in speech class because I have no problem with speaking. I often forget that I also need to listen to others. I have been working on this more lately, but it is a very hard thing for me to do.

In order to truly listen to others, don't think about what you are going to say next. I think this is the most common error people make. They are so worried about keeping the conversation going that they don't really hear what the other person is saying to them. Just take a moment each day to truly listen to what someone is saying to you and you might just learn something!!

I appreciate all comments and feedback. It would be great if you would follow my blog!! Thanks!
