Wild Thing

The week of March 28th until April 1st I will be attending the 12th annual Arizona Bike week where I will find my true love and ride off into the sunset on a red MVAgusta. Destiny awaits.

Pen Chewers

So I got the pen chewing quote from the Office in an email and am going to hang it by the desk in my room. I revised it a little,

NOTICE!!!

Chewing on pens is completely unacceptable. It’s a disgusting habit that some of my roommates partake in. This oral fixation is offering up a slew of germs and/or viruses to not only the chewer, but the person he/she passes their pen on too. When you put office supplies in your mouth you are sharing a dose of your infectious saliva with all your roommates. Although my writing utensils are heavily guarded, I still come across a chewed pen every now and then. The other day I found Brooke chewing on one of my pens – to retaliate I walked over and spat on her bed. I’ve reached my wit’s end with pen chewers – their filthy habit will no longer be tolerated. To encourage everyone to halt this behavior I will be applying a dose of an anticoagulant to all of the pens in the premises. Consider yourself warned.

The part about Brooke chewing pens is real, (I didn’t spit on her bed.)

5K Fun Run

So Jennie and I were planning on running a 5K this weekend for Red Ribbon week! We registered at the BRHD (Bear River Health Department) and paid $8. (that’s a whole weeks worth of food P.S.) But unfortunately on the day of the race we left the map at home, so we drove all over Logan in freezing cold snowing weather looking for the Starting line but never found it. So we went home, got the map, and realized that the race was actually in Hyde Park. Which we thought was an actual Park…

Yes, we are both natural blonds.

So then we call up Jennie’s Mom and she informs us that Hyde Park is South if Logan. (its not) And we drive all the way to the Route 66 gas station with our faces glued to the windows searching for any sign(pun) of Hyde Park only to find it is actually North of Logan, according to the phone book in the Route 66 gas station. You think we would have given up by now but we didn’t! We went all the way to Hyde Park and walked in ice blowing wind to the location of the race which was over and didn’t even get our t-shirts because they ran out and gave our away.

On the flip side we did get some good rolls, but we hadn’t eaten a big breakfast so anything would have tasted good by then. We told the people in charge what had happened and they gave us little cards to pick up our t-shirts later and offered us some frozen fruit which we didn’t want because we were cold.

So that’s the story of how Hyde Park hid (haha!) from us and deprived us of our chance to run in the 5k for red ribbon week.
