FLOW RIDER BABY!

So my friend Danna Roberts is an instructor at gold's gym. She was telling me about the new "flow rider" at the gold's gym in Ogden. It is basically a simulated water current that you can surf/boogie board on. It sounded pretty fun, so McKell and I went with her and her hubby Tyson last night. IT WAS AAAWESOME! We totally sucked at it, but I can't wait to go back. Everyone should try this at least once(but you'll want more I promise). Check out these sweet pictures. The top one is me in the middle of a barrel role. Make sure to click on the url below the picture's so you can see some rollin' in action. Watch out ocean city California, here I come(hehe).

FORTUNE COOKIES - ARE THEY TRUE?

Okay, so when I was in high school(isn't that the best way to start a sentence?) Anyway, I was at a volleyball tournament and we had an hour to spare before our next game. My friend Verla and I walked over to the grocery store and purchase a box of fortune cookies. As we were walking back to the high school I decided to open a cookie. Just as I opened the package, the cookie inside fell to the ground and broke in thousands of pieces, okay more like 10-15 but who's counting? We were going to just keep walking and let it go, but turned around not able to just leave my fortune laying on the ground unread! As I picked the mysterious white label from out of the cookie wreckage it read (and I can still quote it to this day )"Your clumsy and inquisitive ways will get you through life." From that day on, I swear every fortune cookie I open has some truth as to what is to come! So, the reason for this story from over 10 years ago...Uncle Mike treated us to some yummy Chinese food the other night and we were left with a pile of extra fortune cookies. Mylee opened a cookie and the fortune read "A pleasant surprise is in store for you soon." Hum, fun :) Just as she finished reading the fortune a knock was at the door. As she opened the door, it was our neighbor standing there. To our "surprise" she was holding a plate of "pleasant" looking peanut butter bars. We were definitely overdo for a plate of cookies...but so "soon"?

Less than 24 hours and one down!

So, I had had my new nails on for less than 24 hours when we had a house fire at work. I was doing great and no one even noticed because I had my thick fire gloves on. After over 6 hours of fighting fire, it was finally out, and all 10 nails were still attached. When we started to clean up (usually everyone's air packs, helmets, coats, gloves, etc. immediately come off to lessen the weight), I (of course) left my gloves on (heaven forbid any of the guys see that I had my nails done--I would NEVER hear the end of it!). But one of the guys happened to notice my gloves were still on. He jokingly asked me, "Why are your gloves still on? Did you get your nails done?" "Ha ha ha , yeah right!" I replied. He laughed too. Whew! Got past that one--barely!
As we were taking apart each hose section preparing to leave (we use a wrench-type tool) the tool slipped and one of my nails took the fall. It came completely off. Oh the pain!!! What was I thinking doing acrylic nails???
I came straight home and cut every single nail. There's no way I'm going through that pain and humiliation again!

tat,tat,tat

So, I have nothing new to add, I've been spending most of my time trying to figure out this blog thing! I just wanted to type with my brand new acrylic finger nails. That's right-I HAVE GIRLY NAILS (or sissy girly nails as Kristin put it)! A bunch of us girls went to a nail salon for pedicures and they didn't have enough pedicure seats, so 2 of us decided to do acrylic nails. I went with the more traditional site, the fingers. Lisa went the more adventuresome route and had them put them on her TOES! It actually turned out really cute!! Normally this would have taken me about 30 seconds to type--I think it's been over an hour now trying to figure out how to type with these things. How in the world am I going to work? I don't think they work very well pulling hoses or starting IV's--what was I thinking?
