Tubing Accident. Owie.

Man I'm really bugged. I cannot get my stupid card reader to read my card, so I can put some pictures on here! Sorry, you'll just have to do without.

Anyway, I am currently suffering from what feels like a shattered lower back. Here's how:

We went to Scotty's family reunion yesterday. There was a river. So we got in a tube and floated it. The first time I went, I had Katie, Scotty's 8 year old sister with me in one tube and I was holding onto a 6 year old in another tube. You're already cringing, I know.

But calm down, everything was ok. A rock sticking out of the water drove into my back pretty hard and it hurts so bad today! So take that, times female pain of a different sort=Not such a relaxing Sabbath.

Hunter, the one that is 6, even made me let go and he did fine on his own. Well until we went down the 2nd time and he flipped over and I saved him in the little rapids while other family members watched from the bridge. It wasn't a huge deal. It's not like it was 10 ft deep and the waters were raging. The sad thing however, is that when I was jumped off my tube to grab him, I lost my bracelet my parents gave me for Valentine's Day. It was my favorite and I am sad it is gone. I was dumb for wearing it in the first place.

I truly have more to blog about but I will separate them so you don't get bored. I'm gonna go lay in bed and whine at Scotty that my back hurts now. Haha kidding, he's been doing a good job of making me food and fetching Tylenol for me. Such a good lubber :)

P.S. I want to go tubing again this week again anyway. Who's down to clown?

To Do List

Things to do this week:

-Get rid of the following:
Lots of our clothes so they will actually fit in our closet.
Ugly blue recliner in my computer room.
Recycle old TV and 2 broken computer towers.

-Put bookshelf together. We got it right after we go married. Yup, Its been sitting in a box for like 3 years. Sad.

-Finish my little wall craft I'm making (pictures will soon to follow)

-Get prints of our new pictures

-Work on my online Travel class that I have been ignoring for about a month now.

-Bills :(

-Workout. I have my Hip Hop Abs again so I'm feeling pretty optimistic! Haha... it's so funny to do. I need Laura with me though.

I know you really care about my to do list. I'm glad I wrote it on here because now I am motivated to do all of those things this week. Maybe this is weird but I want to take a dance class or something down here for fun. Maybe even just a fitness class like kickboxing would be cool. Anyone wanna play?

You're right, I don't care. Now leave.

So I'm getting real sick of freakin solicitors knocking at my door. Particularly the ones who want to sell me magazine subscriptions.

Last fall while sweeping my porch some guy approached me and just struck up a conversation asking me about my interests. Then he blabbed on about his life goals of going into Sports Medicine and mentoring children blah blah blah. "Coincidentally" he had a brace on his leg from a "sports" injury. Then he was like hey you like sports. I bet your husband does too! Buy a bunch of useless magazines subscriptions from me blah blah blah... so of course I was like "Yeah..um, I'm sorry, but I'm just not interested. I'm already subscribed to my favorite magazines. Thanks though" and then the punk was just all like "You're not sorry, you just don't care!" so then I told him he's right, I don't give a shee- get off my porch. Then I ran inside for protection and made Scotty sit outside with me while I finished cleaning up.

Well this afternoon, while my friend Katie was coloring my hair, there was a knock. I had a bunch of stuff in my hair, plus I was still in my swimming suit from earlier so I made Scotty get it and we hid in the bathroom. This is what I hear from the bathroom: "Hey man, I'm working towards going to college. At um.. BYU actually (I'm sure that's where he saw Scotty's BYU hat) then the other kid with him said "Yeah and I'm going to Penn State!" So blah blah blah they fed him a bunch of bull and my smart husband was good enough to politely tell them he's gonna pass.

I'm really just confused as to why some kid, smart enough to get into BYU or Penn State, would think that selling a few magazine subscriptions a day is going to put them through college. I've had like 3 run-ins with these guys are they are pretty good about giving you a guilt trip.

So I googled it, did a little research, and it's a scam. I'm sure by now you're thinking "Nice work Sherlock! It was pretty obvious." But I just wanted to write something about it because it just boggles my mind how these scam artists sleep at night. I'm sure they are told a bunch of ways to justify it but still, no one is that dumb to think they are really going to earn enough money to pay for school or whatever little story they make up. So you either give these kids cash or check and you will get your "subscriptions" in a few weeks. No one ever does. In fact, these sales people are usually young adults crammed into a van, going state to state each summer, walking around all day just to give most of their earnings to a crew manager, leaving them with about $20. They then return to their crowded hotel room where the drugs are abundant.

So my friends. Just watch out ok? That will be all.

Silent Library

Oh man...this is great. This new show on MTV is the best. Each episode there is a new team of guys that have to do certain activities in a library, but they have to be quiet. If they are too loud they lose. Just watch. It will make you laugh. And if it doesn't, you have no soul.

I'm Meeeelting! Melting!!

Baaaaahhhhh I am freaking going to die of heat. We have no AC in this freaking apartment! I mean its bearable, but it's still like 80 degrees in here! I didn't think it would be too bad since we live on the lower level of a 4-plex and we're surrounded by shade all around.

Our little fan just isn't cutting it. So umm.. yeah if anyone just happens to have a swamp cooler laying around that we could steal for the summer that would rock. My feet are so hot and that bugs me most of all!

I don't know why I chose to live somewhere with no AC. I was just being a cheap-o. I guess because I didn't want to pay $75 more to have AC on the top level. I'm dumb like that. In addition to that I don't want to pay $250 for a swamp cooler when we are moving anyway. But not until February probably. I think we'll renew for 6 months so we can decide what to do. I just don't feel like packing up all our crap right now. Plus, I look everyday but there just aren't any apartments that I'm interested in.

We might buy something. It depends. We're going to look into it- but I don't know if I'm quite ready to do that. Plus a tiny little house in Ogden costs like $90k. The same thing here costs about $175k. Bull shee! That's one thing that I definitely miss about living up there. Ok. I'm gonna go fall asleep in the sauna now.

In addition to my ugly baby.

So that baby was a little scary eh? I think it looks like a little drag queen baby and he (yes it was suppose to be he) has over plucked eye brows, and does it look like he has braces on to you?

In addition to that, why would an infant child even have teeth? I was looking at my friend Tiara's and her baby has like full out adult buck teeth. Its weird. Also- the child is black but then kinda has a white nose with freckles. Did I mention that I selected the "Complexion Detection" option? It claims to be right 90% of the time when determining what color your baby is.

I just thought something like that would carry a little more credibility. Oh wait- no I didn't. I knew it would look like a clown baby. And that is the dumbest site ever.

Also, you know this- but Michael Jackson is dead and that is sad. Farrah and Ed too. Rough week for Hollywood. I love Michael! His looks frighten me, but he is freaking amazing and we all know that. R.I.P Kind of Pop!!

I would say this is pretty accurate.

Umm... what the hell?
