No... Your OTHER Manager

So last night Brock and I went to Ruby Tuesdays with our friends Adam and Maria Covington. When we got in there was another group of 4, consisting mainly of older people (aka grandparents age) the host asked how many in thier group and the oldest man said, "Four, and while you're at it I need to see your manager" The host said well I am a manager, as he pointed to his badge saying "Shift leader"... The older gentleman said, "oh your other manager"

*snicker*

I then proceeded to turn around to Brock and said sarcastically "You're OTHER manager"

So we were seated and some fool named Jeff was our waiter. He was a jerk from the start. He was skimpy (in my opinion) in he gave us (aka bottomless lemonades), rude, smark alek, and not willing to provide 110% service.. which I at least expect 101% service... he was more like an F- server. I don't think either of us tipped him very well seeing as how we determine the tip by preformance. For example we left like a $15 tip the other day because the waiter guy was AWESOME! So there you go waitering world... please don't suck because nobody likes that.

Walking Home From Work

So I get alot of time to think in the 5-8 minutes it takes me to walk home from work. I wanted to share all the thoughts/funny things I see or that happen on the way home.

-Half the days I always see this lady sitting in a wheel chair pushing herself around with her feet.... yes her non broken ones
-WARNING GROSS AHEAD:Used pregnancy tests/things that are supposed to prevent pregnancy
-This random old car that it FULL of junk, ie food, newspapers, dolls, purses, trash, and more trash... and i think it's unlocked so i'm always temped to clean it
-I usually look at the rocks by walmart to find "crab rocks" (see pirates 3)
-Today I walked home with a half full gallon of milk. I felt like Juno, but with milk.
-Yesterday I forgot my keys to the house so I had to walk to the Hampton for Brock's keys, but he just threw them to me from across the sidewalk
-Frequenly, when I drive to work (that is rarely done) I will walk home without my car... then I think it's stolen when I go to use it... then I walk back to work to get it.
-I also always think about how rent is coming due when I see the "devonshire" sign...then I think about how i'm excited for every other thursday
-Today on my way TO and FROM work I actually waited for some cars to pass along 2nd East and 16th North. Normally I just walk out in front of the cars but I didn't feel like dodging death AGAIN.... thanks for not killing me Donna
-I though about how Brock would be proud when I told him about the above bullet point

Alright now as of Sunday these things happened,
-Finished Prison Break...WOW
-Went to the company party, and left my ticket for the prize drawing in my pocket THE WHOLE DANG time!!! When I finnally put 2 and 2 together I won stupid Utah/BYU tickets that I traded for an AWESOME book by an apostle. I didn't even want an iPod or trip to disneyland so take that!!
-went to Hamiltons and found out they no longer have the chocolate torte.. so not much reason to go there anymore. (ok there a few other reasons to still go)
-some other stuff that was way cool

Random Stuff to Catch Up On

Well there's alot I'd like to write about, but right now I can't think of anything... I'll just start.

So Dani, Brent, and Patrick came up last weekend to hang with Brock and I- that was fun. We went to the Celebration Centre here in Logan where we rode the Sky Coaster (you basically freefall a couple hundred feet and swing back and forth) I made Dani pull the rip cord when we went. We also went on the Go Karts. We made yummy malibu chicken with this "company cous cous", very good times.

So Howie got his first haircut! Can't remember if I've posted about that or not. Yeah it was $40!!!! I am definately learning how to cut puppy hair- or Howie is going to put us on the streets... :D

So Chad wrote Brock and I a letter. It sounds like he is enjoying his mission experience so far. It's cool to know that the spirit is so strong and that Chad is strengthening his testimony everyday. Go Chad! We love you!

Oh SO here is a good story.... the other day I drove to work, which is odd because I usually walk... it's only about a 7 minute walk... anyways on thursday night after work i'm like.. yeah! Time to walk home! Nicole was over and at 8PM I needed to take Howie to puppy school, so I went over and opened the door to the garage. "Where's the car?!" I had no idea where the car was! I thought it was stolen! Then I remembered that I had left it at work. Lo and behold we still made it to puppy school fairly ontime.

Howie's Elephant

So I went to Khols today and bough one of those stuffed elephants that are always near where you check out... the one where 100% of the money goes to little kids or something. Anyways this elephant is bigger than Howie and when I brought it home to him it was hilarious!

Howie was acting all scared of it. He would come up to it, bark, and then army crawl away. I had to grab him and the elephant so howie knew it wasn't another real animal... he is now happily chewing on its trunk, and half whiplashing it around. So cute! When I find my camera charger I'll post a picture.

Also tonight was very eventful. It was the first time in 2 years that I have not been able to use my credit card because the name on my card did not match my license. Yep, it's been 2 years and my license still says Allen on it. Grrr... I was so mad at the girl- it was $5. I think it was absurd. The only reason people ID it to make sure people are really using their own credit card. She had no reasonable reason to think that I wasn't who I said I was. How many people spell their name with two EE's?? I had other cards with Champlin but noooo... this girl wouldn't let me. I guess I didn't need that cute bamboo magazine holder anyways...
