Nice Weather

Well, it's about time that it's been sunny all day!
Josh and I went for a walk on the Jordan River Parkway today. (I suggested it for today and he accepted) It was a lot of fun for us. I wished I had taken my camera! We saw this hummingbird come and SIT on the fence to the side of us twice while walking. I have never seen a hummingbird be so motionless, it was the coolest thing.
We also saw some big purple flowers on big stems and I had to ask Josh what they were. He told me they were thistle-what Eeyore likes to eat. Well, Eeyore would have been happy there, as happy as Eeyore can get!
I am going to have to convince Josh to go do that more often. Next time though, I am remembering to put on sun-screen. Thankfully we didn't get too burned.

Are you Reese?

So for anyone who doesn't know, I work at Monavie. Today was the launch of our Energy drink -Emv- and we also have regional tomorrow at the Salt Palace where Energy will be available for the tasting and buying.
I work in the back processing orders for the warehouse to ship out. We expected to day to be really busy with people picking up their Energy orders and the many, many out-of-towners that would stop by to see the warehouse. Anyway, one person that works the front lobby was off today, so I had to help out as needed up there. So, at one calm part of the day (which didn't happen much) I was up front. Suddenly, Marco turns to me and says, " See this lady coming up? She is Reese Witherspoon's body double in movies!" I didn't quite believe it until I saw her face straight on. Holy cow! She looked exactly like Reese does! Obviously, that's how she got this body double job. She even showed me a picture on her phone of her and Reese next to each other and I couldn't tell who was who. It was the coolest thing!
So Marco was just asking her question after question. She isn't always a double for Reese, mostly when it's convenient for her to be there with her having two boys at home. She did say that she did the coma scenes in Just Like Heaven (so she got to kiss Mark Ruffalo, LUCKY!) She also said that she thinks Vince Vaughn is a jerk. (She doubled on the set for Four Christmases) Also, she asked her boys what they thought of Reese. (They said she's really nice--have met Reese a couple of times when their mom had to take them with) Reese gave the boys a WII for Christmas when hardly anyone else could get them.
Anyway, I just had to chat about my experience--it was the sweetest thing ever! I wouldn't have believed anybody that I work with if I hadn't seen it for myself!

So last night, Josh and I and 2 of his friends took a drive up to Park City. Before heading up there, we ate at a pizza place that I will never eat at again!! I got sick not 20 minutes after eating the food. Josh had ordered a baked ziti. It took them half an hour to tell him that they were out of ziti and ask if he would like the spaghetti and meatballs instead. Then when it came time to leave, they still hadn't brought out his food! So he goes towards the counter to tell them we'd just pay for the pizza I ate and forget about the spaghetti. They didn't even give him the chance to tell them he didn't want it anymore, they just boxed it up for him. Very frustrating........
So I was sick for the rest of the night in Park City. We went up there to see LaughingStock compete against a new troupe in Park City. So we are laughing and enjoying ourselves (as much as you can when all you wanna do is throw up) and all of a sudden the host of the evening was closing his eyes, pointing his microphone near the audience, and asking us to tell him to stop. Now I apparently wasn't paying attention to why they were doing this, but the microphone stopped at our group. I didn't think it was pointing at me, but they were saying "green shirt girl come up here". Now all who know me well---this was not exciting. Me? On stage? NO WAY JOSE! But they made me go up and it turns out I have to make SOUND EFFECTS for one guy doing a scene. Needless to say, I was shaking so hard from fright (plus why are the lights so bright?!) and didn't make good enough sound effects. Back when I look at it now, Jesse who was doing the scene, was very funny and even though I couldn't make great sound effects still made me laugh.
I just hope to never do that again!!!

DRIVE-IN

Last night, I went to a drive in movie in West Valley. I haven't been to a drive-in since I was a little kid. To my knowledge (and I could be wrong) this is the only drive-in that is still running in the state. It was fun! We saw Pixar's UP and Disney's EARTH. Both we good movies. My favorite characters in UP were Kevin the bird and Doug the dog. Everyone should see this movie, it pretty cool!

It was a fun way to spend a Friday night!

TWO LONG WEEKENDS

I am happy because of the 2 long weekends I get! Obviously everyone gets a long weekend to remember the vets and people that are still fighting for our country. My brother Jon joined, but hopefully he won't ever have to fight since he wants to be an interpreter.
So after Memorial Day, I go to work on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Then I have Friday off for the youngest of our family, Caleb, to go to his high school graduation. Yep, my mom will not have to put another kid through a year of school. I bet she's happy.
Well, HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE!

I saw this Star Trek movie, loved this Star Trek movie and I don't care what anyone thinks. I also love this pic because I love the TV show Heroes!

That's all folks. Last time I tried to publish a long post, my computer wigged out and I couldn't get what I wrote back. So this is short for now.

Debt Free

Josh and I are officially out of bad debt! Meaning we still have debt for my car and for Josh's school. But all credit cards are paid off and money that we still owed his parents, all gone! We couldn't be happier about it! Now we are looking forward to the future and what it can bring for us.
YAY!
