Lagoon

My company's Lagoon day was this past weekend. Despite the fact that it was organized in the strangest fashion that I've ever seen, and despite the fact that the weather reports were calling for 50% chance of a thunderstorm, I decided to go. 

We arrived at the park just in time for the lunch part of the day. Marrdy's son took a picture of the two of us in our company t-shirts, but we both look so terrible in that picture due to lighting and angle, I decided to spare us the humiliation. My new skimmer shoes were digging at the back of my ankles so I had to hunt down some band-aids, but as soon as the band-aids were in place, all was well. 

After lunch, Sean and I took off to go on some rides. Despite being easily prone to motion sickness, I love rollercoasters.

After riding most of the roller coasters, we went walking through Pioneer Village. Despite the many, many times that I've been to Lagoon and Pioneer Village before, there were a couple of places that I had never seen before.

Shortly after this last photo was taken, it started pouring rain. Sean and I took shelter inside the "Rock Church" while we waited for the worst of it to pass. After the rain let up, we decided to take off.
I am pretty bugged though because I lost my O-gloss, again! I guess I should just stick to the cheap lip glosses because those stick around in my purse for a long time. As soon as I spend $22 on a lip gloss, it's gone forever.

Weekend recap

Wow, what an eventful weekend! I hardly had any time at home and no time to catch up on sleep either! Let's get right into it!

Friday, I was going to go with Zach to the REO Speedwagon/Styx concert at Usana, but he ended up having to work too late. Instead, Sean and I went out to dinner. He was craving some Texas Roadhouse, but I wasn't very hungry because I had eaten a huge lunch. We got to the South Towne location a little before 7 PM, but it was already packed. They told us the wait was 45 minutes, but I didn't mind so we put our name on the list and found a seat on some benches at the front door. It was a prime people watching location. Mostly I just picked apart people's outfits in my mind while Sean played his PSP. The wait ended up only being a little over 20 minutes before our number came up on the screen.

This is where the trouble began.

We walked up to the host's booth where there were six employee's standing. Every last one of them was trying to help a guy that had made reservations at the wrong location. Apparently he had a large group he was trying to get seated and didn't understand that there was more than one location. (Duh!) The hosts were going to seat them anyway! I thought that was kind of lame. Meanwhile, Sean and I are just standing there getting ignored and other parties were getting seated while we stood there looking like fools. I was getting pissed and kind of mouthy, so we finally got seated. By the time our server arrived for our drink orders, we had had enough time to decide what we wanted to eat. While waiting for our food, we basically got lap dances from the servers who were doing line dances right up against our table every third song. Not only were the claps and stomps loud and distracting from having an enjoyable time, but who was helping the customers while they were busy getting down with their bad selves? No wonder they were so backed up at getting people seated. After getting our food, we didn't see our server again till she brought us a check. Great service, let me tell you. I'm probably going to resist ever going back there again and you probably shouldn't either.

After dinner, we went down to Jordan Commons to see what movies were playing. There was nothing playing that we wanted to see for a while so we just decided to rent Gladiator because I had never seen it. Funny story, Sean thought of that movie because I was wearing my gladiator sandals that night. Once we got home though, we ended up watching Ocean's Thirteen with Val and Jan. Its was a super fun night.

Saturday, I met Nicole at the pool and hung out there for a few hours. It was so hot, but I loved every minute of it. I got a huge chunk of The Host read. I'm loving it so far! [Nicole and I at the pool]

I took a much needed nap after the pool before I met up with Mike and Traci to head to Scott's birthday party. I had a great time hanging out there even though I was one of the small handful of single, non-parents there. We spent the night at Scott and Kelly's.

I woke up to Traci trying to swat a fly with a bug zapper about a foot from my face. Let me tell you, thats a very startling way to wake up. We ate McDonalds for breakfast, which was actually very satisfying, and then got ready to head out for Utah Lake. We spent several hours on the lake wakeboarding, tubing and just hanging out. I got the best air I've ever gotten on a wakeboard and nearly cleared the wake. It was utterly thrilling and I was quite proud of myself. On the tube, I was getting tossed around like a rag doll. At one point I was getting bounced so hard and so high that my legs bounced up and my feet hit me in the back of the head. Another time, I was whipped off the tube a rolled across the top of the water a few times before going under. I was laughing so hard, but oh boy does my back, neck and shoulders hurt today! I also have a little bit of a sunburn today!

After I got home, Sean came over and we actually watched Gladiator. I didn't see the whole thing because I was so exhausted from the weekend that I kept falling asleep.

That was my weekend!

Just a quick side note to all the people coming over from SITS today. Thanks everyone for the comment love! I hope I get a few subscribers out of today! I will be responding to every comment as quickly as I can. They're coming in so fast though, by the time I woke up this morning, my blackberry had 36 new emails, about 90% of them being blog comments! Already I'm at my highest hit count in the past 30 days, and its only noon!
What a great start, right?

Weekend recap

Weekend recap time!

Friday after work, Nicole and I hit up the mall before meeting up with Chaz and Phillip. I had to return a dress and ended up leaving with two clutches and another dress. After the mall, Nicole and I met up with the guys and went to dinner at Famous Dave's.

After dinner, we played Mario Kart on Wii for a bit. Let me just tell you, every time I play Wii, I want one more and more. Then we walked to Gateway to watch a movie. I was wearing my new-ish gladiator sandals and let me tell you, it was not fun to walk those few blocks it took to get there. Phil ended up having to carry me part of the way, what a good sport.

Saturday, I was supposed to go boating, but being irrational in my half-awake and overly tired state, I for some reason decided not to go. When I finally woke up in the late morning I regretted that decision. Craving some sun, I decided to go out to pool by myself. I ended having a really relaxing few hours laying out in the sun reading. The only down side was that I forgot my iPod and ended up having to listen to the pool's music.

Driving home after the pool, I decided that I needed a pedicure so I stopped at this place called V-J Nails & Spa. This lady named Ann gave me the best pedicure that I've ever received. It was so amazing that I want to start going to that place to get my nails done as well.

That night Sean and I went to our favorite dining spot, Joy Luck. The service and the food was great, as usual! Following dinner, we went to see The Happening because we're pretty big fans of Mark Wahlberg. Lets just say I was less than impressed. I'll be real honest though, I did get scared quite a bit. I'm just not a fan of all the gore and the ending. I'll leave it at that for people that haven't seen it and still want to.

Sunday, Adam, Steph and I had to do our last minute Father's Day gift shopping. We spent some time walking around the mall and I ate a yummy chocolate dipped strawberry from Godiva. We wrapped my dad's gifts with cutouts from a golf magazine. I got a picture of it that I'll have to upload when I get my camera back, I left it at my dad's.

Dinner was delicious, everyone brought something so there was loads of food. I'm pretty sure I ate my weight's worth of food. Lisa's parents, brother and his wife came over for dinner and after we all played Apples to Apples. It was a pretty loud game, but lots of fun. I went home and went to bed by 9pm and I still felt full!

All in all, a great weekend. How about you?

Weekend recap.

Another weekend, come and gone!

Friday after work, I had to go find a dress to wear to Steph's wedding. I headed for the Gateway and started out at Forever 21. I actually ended up finding a lot of stuff to try on there. I narrowed it down to two dresses (this or that with this belt). I decided on the black dress with the belt, but as I was standing in line, I found another black dress that looked cute. I decided to buy it without trying it on. I left with the two dresses, the belt, a clutch and and a vest.

Next, I went to Urban Outfitters in search of a certain dress. I couldn't seem to find it, but I did walk past a pair of Lux Cigarette Leg gray jeans. I've been wanting to buy a pair for a while now, so I tried them on and ended up getting them. I thought that they were a pair that was on my wishlist, but turns out the pair that I bought aren't available online. I had a hard time deciding on whether or not I should keep them because there was another pair on my wishlist that I really wanted. Just barely today I decided that I will keep them.

After shopping, I met up with Phil. We went out to dinner at The Dodo and then we went to see You Don't Mess With The Zohan. Oh. My. Lame. Honestly, I laughed a little, but most of the time I was shaking my head and rolling my eyes. Really, I could've gone the rest of my life without seeing Adam Sandler thrusting his stuffed crotch that much. It was also way too long. Two hours is pretty long for a comedy, I kept thinking, "Man this is a long movie!" So, yeah, I'd recommend skipping this one.

Saturday, I had to go to the cheer girls' car wash. The weather was alright. It was one of those days that it was warm in the sun, but cold in the shade. Whenever the clouds were covering the sun, it was so cold. I felt bad for the girls because they had to get wet and wash cars. I just sat huddled in my blanket most of the time. They did well though, it was nice to see so many people come out and support them.

That night I went to Steph's wedding reception. It was fun to see people that I don't see on a regular basis and get a chance to chat. The colors were black and red, Steph had picked out these super cute black dresses with white polka dots. They all wore red jewelry and shoes, it was so cute! I didn't have my camera so when I steal pictures from Nicole, I'll post them up for everyone to see.

Sunday, I finally got caught up with the rest of Season 4 of The Office. The finale was awesome. There were a ton of OMG moments, I can't wait for the next season now! Sean and I went for brunch and then we browsed around Cabela's. I found out that they have their own restaurant there, which I found mildly strange. Later, we went to see Iron Man, which I ended up really liking.

Weekend recap.

So I had a pretty busy weekend. You might have noticed due to the lack of updates on here.

Friday night, Sean and I went to our favorite dinner spot for some yummy chinese. After dinner we received our fortune cookies. I have heard somewhere that you're supposed to eat the fortune cookie before you read the fortune, so I follow that rule. However Sean was for some reason rushing me to read my fortune. I gobbled up my cookie and read my fortune. It read, "You and your wife will be happy in your life together." I told Sean what it said and he laughed and said, "You're joking right?" I replied that I was not joking, that apparently I was a lesbian. He told me he got the exact same fortune and that he had thought it was funny that his fortune mentioned wife, given the events of the last few weeks.


Saturday morning was beautiful. The weather was super nice, therefore it was a lovely day to be at the MS Walk. My cheer girls were volunteering at the walk. So we spent the morning enjoying the blue sky outside at The Gateway. It was really nice to see how many people showed up there to participate in the walk.




Later on Saturday, I went up to Park City with some girlfriends. We went out to dinner at Squatters and went dancing at Harry O's. The night was super fun despite some minor drama that involved losing my car key and the condo key. Luckily, and I never thought I'd say this, one of the girls had gone out on the balcony to have a smoke and accidentally left the door open. Because of that, we were able to get back into the condo. There was still the matter of me not having a way to drive home in the morning, so Sean was nice enough to rescue us by going to my house, finding my spare key and driving it up to me in Park City. He is so awesome and I'm lucky to have him. Thanks to him I was able to drive back down to the valley and enjoy a beautiful Sunday.
Pictures from this night to come...

I went and visited at my dad's house where my little brother was showing of his collection of nerf weaponry.

Later I went to Sean's for sunday dinner. After dinner we all spent some time outside where I ended up playing catch with Sean's brother in high heels. The funniest part of that was Sean's sister thought that I played softball until she saw me throw. The best way to describe how I throw would be "like a girl".

Good times!

Look at what Sean got me!

A surprise delivery to me at my office!

It was funny I was on the phone so I was distracted when they came. I just took the little signer machine from him and signed as I was hanging up the phone. Then he told me, "You got flowers." I was thinking, "Me? Really? Are you joking?" and I honestly thought he was, but sure enough, they were for me. How exciting!
