the random continues...sort of

this week hasn't been as exciting as last week. although, I must say this has been a very weird random run into people week. Ok, really just random run into ex boyfriends I haven't seen since the break up. I don't know what kind of karma is being sent at me or whatever, but really I saw 3 ex boyfriends in the last 2 days. WEIRD, RANDOM, and slightly FREAKY. Actually I must admit it was really good to see one of them. He is married now, has longer, darker, curly hair...that was freaky... but doing well. Is it creepy that I wanted to give him a hug? I hadn't seen him since we split. He is an incredible man. Our break up was one of the 2 that actually went alright. All the rest have been disasters. Such is life. I do have to say that I am quite proud of myself. Lisa and I have been good about going to the gym. We are actually going again tonight. It makes me happy. I broke and joined Gold's. It will be for my benefit and I consider it an investment. Now I can go whenever I want. I still have been good and biking to work. It was rather embarrassing the other day because it was raining. By the time I got to work, I was fairly wet. I was most wet on my pants. Really, it looked like I had peed my pants. It was awful. I wore a scarf, thankfully, and it was long enough to tie around my waist until my butt dried. 2 hours later, I took the scarf off. To my relief, nobody said anything about the scarf around my waist. Most likely, they knew and didn't want to embarrass me. I am excited for this weekend. Saturday I am going to the football game at Weber. I also get to see a really good friend of mine. I am stoked. Oh, so my internet is working off and on again, so that's why I take forever to write anything. Such is life.

hooray for randomness...

so my life lately has been kinda boring. but this last week has been awesome. Lisa and I have been going to the gym. It all started with Lisa texting me if I wanted to come to the gym with her. She signed me up for a one week trial membership with Gold's. We ran 3 miles. It was awesome, although I can't figure out why I can run for 3 miles straight on a treadmill but not outside. Anyway, we got done with our workout and went to go fill out paperwork for me to continue my free trial. My free 1 week trial turned into a 1 month free trial. Hooray! So that is just the start of how awesome my week has been. okay I have to back up a bit...I went to a Mary Kay party on Wednesday and ran into quite a few friends I haven't seen since who knows when. Then Lisa and I went to the gym on Thursday. We also went to a really cool restaurant in Bingham Cyclery. I don't remember the name. Oops. Anyway it is amazing food. Go try it if you haven't. Okay on to Friday. I had a very long day at work. They are setting Halloween and I had to make all the signs and make sure all the items are in the system. Our computers crashed so it made life a little harder. I had places to go so I left and I was over hours for the day too. Lisa called and said she was headed to pick me up. We met up with Emily and her friend Chad at the Utah State Fair. Lisa had entered pictures in the fair and we wanted to see if she had won. Stupid judges...she didn't get any ribbons. Exciting news though....Lisa bought a new cowboy hat because her other one got ruined at the Idaho State Fair. We wandered around the fair for a while and then Lisa, Emily, and I went to Studio 600. Emily's friend's band was playing. The studio was actually not that fun...mostly because it was a younger crowd this time. Blah. So we danced for a while and left just before midnight. Well, as we were leaving these 2 really hot guys kinda started talking to us in the parking lot. Small chat...about not biting the glow sticks with your mouth. Anyway we got in Lisa's car and I said holy cow they are hot. we should get their numbers. or give them ours. Lisa turned the car around and we went into the Sears parking lot, where they had parked. I rolled down my window and said, "hey, so you said you're leaving cause this crowd is too young. how old are you?" they answered with obvious lies. but we chatted a bit more...me mostly just giggling. they asked our ages. They thought I was 19....ok, ok, I was really flirty. Anyway I finally said, "so I think you're pretty cute. can I give you my number?" of course! so we chatted a bit more and then asked them to join us at Wendy's for a bite to eat. Tradition for Lisa & me & whoever comes clubbing with us...we always eat at Wendy's after. So we had a picnic in the parking lot of Wendy's with these random boys I just gave my number to. They told us that their names are Griffin, and Stephen. So we laughed, I giggled, and then realized it was getting late. Emily had told her parents she would be home by 1am. it was now about 130. Good times! So we got home about 2-230 ish. It was fabulous. Saturday morning kinda sucked though. Lisa and I went to the gym...only ran 2 miles and did abs. I slept the rest of the day Saturday in Logan. Sunday..... Sunday was great. Went to church. Went to a terrific fireside. Ate dinner with my family. Drove to North Ogden where Lisa's b-day party was. Saw Mary and more friends I hadn't seen in a while. Met new people. Hung out with Griffin & Stephen again. Lisa invited them and they came. Oh these two are a hoot. I once again was laughing my head off. It was a great week. I hope this one is just as good. I have to go now because Lisa and I are going to the gym. But as a parting; here are pictures from Friday night & Sunday night of Griffin & Stephen. We are so random and I love it!

my sick, stupid human trick

I know you have all been wondering what my human trick is. Here. It's kinda....well, you decide.

squeaky cheese adventures

you may be wondering what the heck this is. well, let me tell you. it is cheese curds hanging out the window of Lisa's car. why are they there? because we had no refrigeration in a heated car. Ok, here is the real story. Lisa and I were planning on going down the Snake River today. That plan got shot when the weather decided to dump lovely rain/thunder/lightning/cold. So crazy me.... decided that we should go to Idaho. More specifically, the Eastern Idaho State Fair held in my hometown of Blackfoot. It was tons of fun. There was a lot to see, including randomness: my brother Adam. There was a lot to eat. My meal today consisted of a Mammoth Burger, Tiger Ear, Strawberry Daiquiri, cinnamon glazed almonds, and cheese curds. The bag of cheese curds were actually a sort of lame present for Lisa...it is her birthday tomorrow (HAPPY BIRTHDAY LISA!!!) Well, it was a big bag of cheese. So we got snacking on it and the almonds on the drive back to good ol' Ogden, UT. Then we decided really we would be sick if we ate any more. So the cheese sat between us. Then it sort of started to get warm, mostly because we had the heat on because we were freezing because it rained on us the last 45 min or so that we were at the fair. We also decided that we couldn't eat it fast enough to still be good in 2 hours when we could put it in a fridge. So I came up with the solution....put it out the window. It WORKED! and that is our happy squeaky cheese adventure.

fell off the earth...

Hello. Sorry it has been so long since I posted. Mostly because my internet at home has been really stupid. I can't get into the internet the way you would think. Only a few of my sites actually work; ok really just my home page and this one sometimes. Anyways, what is new with me... My roommate, Erin, and I got permission to paint our apartment. We picked out lovely colors: a darker tan and a lighter green. Our landlords bought flesh and a brighter green. It actually turned out quite well. I may mention that our carpet is maroon red, my furniture is purple, orange, blue, brown, and cream. The living room is finished. It looks good for just having my experience painting. The kitchen is 3/4 of the way finished. We just have to move the fridge and finish one section of the ceiling I couldn't reach at first. Erin started back to school so this project we started last weekend has turned into my afternoon and evening job. It's all good though because I have no life. Oh well.

I must say that I did go spur-of-the-moment camping last week with Lisa. Ok it really was just Friday night to Saturday early evening. It was still a blast. We camped in a tent in Hope Camp Ground. Its in the Uinta National Park. Saturday we got up and went hiking at Mount Timpanogos. It is incredible and so breath taking. As we were going through the caves, we saw people coming up a different path. They had been spelunking. Right then we decided that someday, hopefully sooner than later, we were coming back to go spelunking.

my super cute nephew

This is Chandler on the Metro going to the Fashion District. He loved riding on the train. I love my super cute nephew. I can't believe how big is growing. He told me, "Beanie, I am growing big like you!" Chan fell asleep on the bus we had to take to get closer to the Fashion District. Lucky guy. It was so cute when he woke up and realized that mommy & daddy were buying him Thomas the Train curtains. He got so excited. It was fun watching him absorb everything and respond back to it. Chandler really is just a little man.

california adventures

hello all. I am in California right now. We; Brooke, Chris, Chandler, Mary, Esther, RayLynne, and I, came to San Diego for my cousin Bobby's wedding. Currently we are staying in a hotel, Courtyard Marriott, in LA. Our check out time is noon today. Yup, just the one night. Oh well. It is a pretty nice hotel. In fact, one of the nicer ones we have stayed at. Yesterday was quite a long day. We left Utah Thursday afternoon ish and stopped in Vegas at RayLynne's house. We got to Vegas about 2 am. There was an accident that took a few hours to clean up the interstate. Fortunately we were not in the accident. We had stopped in Mesquite to eat $5.00 prime steaks. I actually didn't get the steak, mostly because I am not really a steak person. Weird, yes I know. Esp. for growing up in Idaho right. Well, I grew up on deer meat, moose meat, and whatever else my dad happened to hunt. Anyway, I got a really good B.B.Q. pull apart sandwich. Messy, but oh so good. Then when we went to get back in the minivan, Chandler threw a fit. Poor guy has been stuck in his car seat for a long time now. It took mommy coming back to hold him for a bit so he would calm down enough for her to wrestle him into his car seat. We all fell asleep waiting for the accident to be cleaned up. The guy behind us began honking when we didn't move and everyone else was. Oh well. We had decided that in order not to be late for the wedding we had to get up about 4 am. Reality....we got up at 5 and left by 5:30 am. Made it to San Diego safely. Went to the wedding. Well, Esther, RayLynne, and I couldn't go in the temple so we stayed outside and watched Chan. After pictures were done, we went to go find food. We were all starving. Stopped at a McDonalds. Then we found this really cool beach. It was beautiful. We played in the ocean for an hour or so then had to leave. Our grandparents wanted to see us, and we wanted to see them too. We visited with them for an hour when grandma kicked us out so we could get some sleep. I love them so much. They are amazing people. We got to the hotel and went to bed. Now everyone is swimming in the pool. I didn't feel like swimming today. RayLynne is getting more sleep too, so I guess not everyone is swimming. Well, I got to go. Today is going to be busy. Chinatown here we come!
