My Experience at the Gym...

So I was at the gym yesterday and I witnessed one of the funniest things ever. But it was also one of the saddest and I feel kind of bad for the guy this happened to....


I usually go in the "women's only" area... Not this time. I decided to venture out and so I could plug my headphones in and watch some TV on those little screens that they have on some of the machines... I was on one of the bikes in the very back and this person two rows up caught my eye. He was a younger guy, he had some pretty big muscles... He was really really REALLY ripped. And no, I did not notice him for the reasons your thinking of or probably the obvious reasons that I just mentioned. He was on a treadmill and I noticed him because his phone started ringing really loud. I'm talking, unusually loud. So loud that everyone turned to look to see where the horrible screeching phone noise was coming from. When he realized that everyone was looking at him and that it was HIS phone ringing he began to fumble around in his gym short pockets to get his phone. He was fumbling so hard for it (obviously embarrassed) that his shorts came partially off. Now, I don't know how this happened. It could have been because he was running and must not have had his draw strings tight or it could have been the combination of running somewhat fast and both hands in each pocket.. No one will ever know. Anyway, they came partially down so you could see his red boxer briefs (that's right, red to match his red shorts) but not enough to where you could see any of his bare leg... At this point his only concern was to pull his shorts back up to where they were supposed to be. At this point, his phone had stopped ringing but another loud sound came from his shorts. It was just three loud beeps that must indicate a voice mail. He got his pants back up and went to go for his phone for a second time and it began ringing again. This time, instead of not being able to get his phone due to his pants falling down he stumbles and falls to the ground. And when I saw ground I mean the treadmill ground. His phone still ringing.


Everyone within a 5 foot radius jumped off whatever they were doing to help him and see if he was okay. I stayed where I was and continued what I was doing. I was a good ways away from him but I had the perfect view of everything that was happening. Don't worry, had he not been okay or if there was any blood I would have been a little worried. But he was fine. He got up, went to the locker room and came back within ten minutes to continue his run on the same machine.

15 months... 15 MONTHS!!?!!?!

Yes thats right. In two days Amir will be 15 months. I have to say, he is the cutest little boy I've ever seen. He has

 been doing awesome with lea

rning all his sign language. Which is a lifesaver to me because he isn't quite talking yet. Yeah, he repeats what I say but usually he doesn't do it himself.. Unless of course he see's a dog, bird or other animal... Then he is more than happy to say what he see's!!

He's also got six teeth and more cutting through right now. He is so slobbery!

He is getting his cute cute CUTE personality. We went to a furniture store today and he was running around all over the place. He found a statue of a dog and when I finally caught up with him he was standing there signing dog and saying "ruff ruff ruff".

We also have to lock him out of the bathrooms.. On his ninja days he gets in the bathroom (without 

a peep) and he'll either lift the lid to the toilet, yes I have found bread, toy cars etc in the toilet or he's trying to get in the bathtub... Our bathtub is no small feat...Its one of those jetted tubs that are really really really deep... Picture this... A tall bathtub and a little boy trying to get in, one foot on the ground and the other foot all the way up on the top of the tub... Yeah... Flexible? He loves his baths.

New House

I would like to start off in saying that YES - I am a slacker... I have so much to post that I don't have time in this five minutes I have to write...

Anyway, we bought our first home. We are in Midvale now and its a cute little neighborhood. Its a three bedroom, two bathroom home. The backyard is pretty awesome and the rest of the yard is getting fenced in as I type. In short, I love it! I love the area that we are in. I admit, I was a little afraid of being this far south but I LOVE IT! 

Its been a couple weeks since we moved in (we moved in the week before Christmas) and Ruthie is still a little nervous. In fact, she pretty much had a daily nervous breakdown... Which leads me to my next point, I've been looking at another Rat Terrier puppy... He's a cute, chocolate tri colored male... You know what that means!!! CUTE TRI COLOR PUPPIES!

In Response to Katherine's.. "COMPLETE WITH WATERSLIDE!"

Title: Small Home for Rent Near Downtown SLC!!! $600 /mo

Body: Hi, I currently live in a rental home near downtown SLC. It is also within walking distance of Jordan River Parkway and also right across the street from an AWESOME park! Convenient for kids! 

The home is a two bedroom, one and three-quarter bathroom and approx 900 square feet. The living room is huge with pergo flooring. the kitchen is pretty spacious and it comes complete with mice! Courtesy of the people living here before us. there is brand new carpet in the living room and bedrooms. Laundry room, washer and dryer hookups. The master bedroom is good size, I mean - its big enough for my TWO double beds pushed together and the dressers plus a TV! (That's right, we REALLY have it all crammed in there) The 3/4 bathroom is off the master bedroom. 

Most of the windows are brand new. 

There is an attic for storage... that also comes complete with mice! (fantastic isn't it?!)

The yard is great, and the backyard is a good size but not fenced. 

Oh yeah did I mention that it is right by some train tracks? probably not because that isn't exactly appealing for the average person...

But if you are wanting to live in the ghetto please call me! I'll even throw in a dog and husband!

Rock Paper Scissors

OK I understand how scissors can beat paper.. And I get how rock can beat scissors. But there is no way that paper can beat rock! The paper is supposed to magically "wrap around the rock" leaving it immobile? Why cant paper do this to scissors? In fact, screw scissors!!
Why cant paper do this to people? Why aren't sheets of college ruled paper constantly suffocating students when they are trying to take notes in class? ... I'll tell you why! It's because paper cant beat anybody. A rock would tear the paper up in about two seconds!
I choose rock whenever I play "Rock Paper Scissors". Then when people claim that they won my rock with their paper I can punch them in the face with my already clenched fist and say something like, "oh, I'm sorry - I thought your paper would protect you" ....
