I hate MANURE!

I love the Back to the Future movies. Remember how the bully Biff is always picking on Marty McFly? One of the best parts of the movie is when McFly gets him back and Biff is all pissed because he wrecks his car. That would have been good enough for McFly but it gets even better. Biff had crashed into a manure truck and gets the whole load of s*%t dumped on him. SUCKA!!!!



Today I felt like Biff. I am not a bully and I did not deserve to feel stupid! It turns out feeling foolish just wasn't enough...I got the whole load of manure. NO FAIR!

On a happier note, it is the 2 hour season finale of Gray's Anatomy tonight and then I am going to see the new Indiana Jones movie. That is HOURS of distraction...yippee! And tomorrow I am flying to Denver to see Mandy and her family...YIPPEE! Life goes on.

The BEST motivation...


I went to the gym last night and kicked my own butt with a vengeance. It didn't occur to me until later what had motivated me to push myself so hard. So, apparently:


BRUISED EGO + NEW SWIMSUIT = MOTIVATION

Who knew? I was on the treadmill for 45 minutes and I ran about half of that time...for those of you that know me you know I HATE to run. I walked uphill for a while and pretty much soaked my t-shirt through with sweat, yikes! Hopefully this will last a few weeks as I do not recommend intentionally putting your ego on the line and really...how many swimsuits does one need?

Oops...sorry!

I do dumb things all the time. Since you read my blog you deserve to benefit from some of these absurdities.

Last week I was doing my laundry in the basement of my apartment complex. I came up the stairs and walked into my apartment. It seemed a little strange that the knob turned so easily, usually it kinda sticks. Hey wait, this isn't my apartment at all, its number 10. YIKES! I closed the door as quickly as possible and quietly walked toward my door hoping the tenant in #10 would not notice. I heard him open his door and slowly turned around, my cheeks bright red, and apologized. "Sorry, I just got mixed up, sorry!" He assured me that it was okay and laughed uncomfortably. I am such an idiot!

He's HOME!!!

Brandon got home from his mission last night. I don't know how we lived without him for 2 whole years. It was so fun to see him and I can't wait to hear all about Samoa!



Ladies and gentlemen, its "a skirt that does pockets" at least that is how it translates.

"I love my sisters"

All the brothers together after 4 years! They are the BEST!!!!
