Bruise Anyone?

Someone thought it would be cool to buy a bike. The weather had warmed up and bikes are fun and decent exercise. Right? This someone (okay, it is me) bought the bike and rode it around the block before promptly falling off. The fall didn't hurt anything more than my pride. HOWEVER, it is over a week later and my legs are still covered in bruises. Nice, eh? Oh, and it's been snowing A LOT ever since I got the bike so I haven't gotten back on it. I want to ride over to Bob and Shauna's and see if I can make it. One of you may be getting a call one day to come and save me from my E-vil little bike.

HA!

I'm such a dumb-a. I just fixed the post about Soft Wear. Hilarious that I complain about other people and their spelling issues and then make a mistake.

HA!

Spelling Nazi

Apparently I've become the Spelling Nazi which is funny since I'm not that great of a speller but I do understand that if you are making a sign for your business you should probably know how to properly spell the words you are using...eh?

Today I went to Walkers in P.G. and there was a sign on the door that said:

Due to a Soft Wear upgrade we will only be able to accept cash.

HA! I laughed the entire time I was in the store and then again the rest of the day every time I thought about it.

Last Weekend

Last weekend was pretty boring--here were the highlights...

*Saw a couple of movies. Was the only girl at both of them--nearly never a good sign but it was fine in both of those instances.
*Hung out with Zack. I love love love that kid. Oh, I also hung out with his mom and dad.
*Bought a bike.
*Rode the bike.
*Fell off the bike.
*Ate a red velvet cupcake from Sweet Tooth Fairy and LOVED it.
*Tried the "Cake Bites" from STF and HATED them--they are not worth it at all.
*Hung out with Kacee for a little bit--so NICE to see you.
*Watched 5 episodes of Lost with a friend. That Jack could not be hotter. Jack in a suit (even a wet one) is right up there with Derek in a white button up shirt, sweater, blazer and jeans. Why is that so HOT? Why am I so twisted? Don't answer that.
*Rented a movie that I'm hideously embarrassed about.
*Watched it and hated nearly every single second of it--just like I knew I would.

Just Say No!

Note to all: don't go to Red Box when you are sad. If you do you will come home with something that you are hideously embarrassed about. Something that if Bob ever finds out will vindicate him in ways he should never be with regards to me. Something that your friends will mock until the end of time because you VOWED you would never ever watch that film. Just do a Nancy Reagan and "Just Say No!"

P.S. and it is TOTALLY not worth it!

Laaaaaaaaaame

Bad News Betty....

I'm sitting on my sofa watching Dateline. Why? I have tons of TV to watch--lots that I've missed from the last few weeks and yet here I sit watching this dumb story about the bad man who tried to "fake his own death" to avoid prosecution for doing some shady things.

Fabulous Friday Night!

YOU GART me I GART you...

This morning I was sitting at the super long light at 2o00 North and State and staring at the Kneaders Marquee. Here is what it said...

YOUGART PARFAIT

How in the world did they spell "Parfait" correctly but missed the boat on "Yogurt"? Or, maybe YOU GART is a new food that I'm not familiar with. Anyone?

Lent Sucks!

I miss food.
I miss my friends.
I'm really worried that the flour/sugar/butter industry may go bankrupt due to the lack of baking being done on my part.

Our Michael Jackson...The New Mormon

The following happened a few weeks ago but every time I think about it I giggle uncontrollably...

Ang: Rob, guess who is speaking at Stake Conference on Saturday night!
Rob: Who?
Ang: Michael Jackson!
Robyn: He's not a Mormon!
Ang: A huh. Remember...he's totally crazy active and Mr. Peter Priesthood.
Robyn: I am SO DISAPPOINTED in the Church--what are they thinking?
Angie giggle...totally thinking Robyn is kidding...
Robyn: I cannot believe that. What? When did he get baptized?
Ang: The Stake President asked him to bear his testimony at the meeting and when he went home and told Shari she said, "Mike, you know that means in front of all of the adults in the Stake, right?"
Robyn: Oh, you mean OUR Michael Jackson!
Ang: Ewwwwwwwwww, did you think I was talking about....Ewwww....No, he's not a Mormon!

P.S. OUR Michael Jackson is married to our friend Shari and has the unfortunate circumstance of having the same name as the very interesting 'other' Michael Jackson.

Isn't it Ironic?

Yesterday I was in a bad mood all day and on the way home needed to stop and get a liquid refreshment. At the convenience store near my house works the happiest, sweetest alwaysinagoodmood guy. Given my state of mind I knew I couldn't "deal" with him so I chose the store across the street from Mr. Happy. Want to hear the definition of irony?

Irony=Angie trying to avoid Mr. Happy at Texaco and finding Mr. Happy working across the street at the Chevron.

I'm not sure how that all happened but it did and I must admit that it made me laugh.

Survey Says

Today at work I had to take a survey for an award my company might get. Here is my favorite question:

"I can be myself at work"

Possible answers: strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree, strongly disagree, does not apply.

Ha ha ha ha!

What do you think?

Think Before You Speak

This has been something of a struggle for me for years. I often say things out loud before I think through the repercussion's of what I'm saying and/or who might be listening. Today at work we received the following E-mail:

e⋅piph⋅a⋅ny
   /ɪˈpɪf ə ni/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [i-pif-uh-nee] Show IPA
–noun, plural -nies.

3.
a sudden, intuitive perception of or insight into the reality or essential meaning of something, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience.

4.
a literary work or section of a work presenting, usually symbolically, such a moment of revelation and insight.

Having my speaking before thinking problem I screamed out, "Who in the hell didn't know what epiphany meant?" and then received the following IM from our IT guy, "My thoughts exactly." I'm sure I've offended someone and really should keep my trap shut, eh? Yeah, probably not.

Sweet Tooth Fairy

"Our bakery is a haven for people who share a common belief in the magic of sweets..."

This year for Lent I have given up sugar and carbs--actually all but about 13 different kinds of foods. It has been 2.5 weeks and I'm doing well and with the exception of a small treat each Saturday I've been 100% true to the plan. I've even been able to put the Girl Scout Cookies away without really thinking about them. They are in the cabinet in my office and as long as I don't take them home I'll be fine.

As most of you know I hate "Utah Food" and have found it really difficult to find great food (great food=baked goods). Well, thanks to E-vil Jeni, last Saturday, March 7th at 12:46 p.m. I found the very best thing in the world about Utah--a fabulously delicious tasty little bakery. I will admit that a few weeks ago when Jen told me about STF I didn't believe her but I'm definitely a firm believer now. The cupcakes are better than anything West of the Mississippi. They are so good that it isn't even that hard to admit that they are better than my cupcakes--absolutely perfectly divine!

Until Easter I will just have to visit my friends at Sweet Tooth Fairy once a week for my "special Saturday treat" and in the meantime I will continue thinking and dreaming and basically torturing myself to death.

P.S. this delicious gem is located in East Bay next to Quilted Bear. Stop what you are doing, throw the little people in the car and go try for yourself. Oh, and let me know what you think.
