Dating For Dummies

This weekend, a friend of mine stopped by with a little gift. When she saw me, she said, "I have something for you, but you have to promise me you won't get offended." It was a book, entitled "Dating for Dummies." Just for the record, I am offended. The story behind the book was quite interesting. Given to my friends brother as a Christmas gift, he read it and found his now-wife within six months. He then gave it to my friend, who met her boyfriend within a couple weeks. . And now she has passed this magical dating book on to me. So i thought it might be interesting to conduct a little experiment. I will read the book, do every dumb(i was about to use the word gay, but i realized i didn't want to do any gay thing it says to do. . )thing it suggests and see if i too, can be a winner. And. . . just so you know, I am not a dating dummy. Here's just a little taste: Chapter 1:The Focus: Who I Am. "What you already know is fine and comfortable and perhaps even useful, but if you spend your whole life with the familiar, you're going to miss out on a lot of potential happiness. I'm talking about blasting off and going bravely where you haven't been before. Okay, okay, i can hear you now, 'Blast off is scary. What if I get blown up on the lauch pad or end up where there's no oxygen?'(by the way, that was my exact thought when reading that part. . . ) Go for it. Lose your fear and focus on your curiosity and strength." Well, thank you Dr. Joy, I'm going to do just that.

Homeless Man

Today was an important day in the history of my life. Shari just got accepted into the military, and i was accepted into the Strawberry Shortcake Fans of delicious fluffy white cake, with ooey gooey strawberries. Or for short: SSFODFWCWOGS. Say that five times fast. Or. . . just once really slow. Talk about a party.

Socks

Today I wore mismatched socks.

The Office

So, i guess you could say i'm a little obsessed with the t.v. show "The Office." The season premiere is September 25, and i've only been counting down the days all summer! I found some pictures online of the premiere, It's called 'Weight Loss,' and supposedly they're having a weight loss contest between the Dunder Mifflin branches, and Pam is in New York for art school! I really love the H.R. rep that replaced Toby, and i really REALLY hope something happens between her and Michael! They are perfect! I really hate Jan. I'm about to release some spoilers, so stop reading if you don't want to know. . . nothing too big is given away. There are two weddings being planned, one involving Andy, and Jim and Pam aren't one of them. It doesn't say who, else, but i'm thinking Daryl and Kelly. . .maybe Jan and Michael? But i don't think so. Next, someone who we thought left the show for good in a previous season returns. . .they said it wasn't who we might be thinking, which my first thoughts were Karen or Roy. But now i'm thinking its Carol! Oh man. The suspense is killing me. Well, I just had to let my vibrant thoughts flow freely through my hands to my keyboard onto my blog. In closing, i would just like to say: "If you are a racist, i will attack you with the north."

Best Buddies

Our office had the opportunity to host the "Best Buddies" foundation here in West Jordan. Basically we hire the gifted/special needs people in the community to help them learn the basics of business and working as a team player in a normal environment. This here is a picture of Brent, one of our more "gifted" employees. He is a very important assest to our team, feeding the fish, watering the plants, eating our goldfish, and coloring pictures for our patients.

Swiss Days

I recently had the opportunity to attend swiss days with my friend Shari, the only one that ever looks at this blog. Here is a picture of us enjoying some scones with our swiss friends. It was pretty fun. Minus the tights and suspendors. And the people are pretty good looking.
