"I have the best Secretary ever!"

Okay... so, Leland, the guy I work for is like one of the funnest people I have even worked for. He laughs at me, even when I am sarcastic and bratty, he still always says "I have the best secretary ever!" I'm so lucky...

Well... funny thing about that...

Leland isn't so lucky... you see... I like to go in his office and look out over the General Authority Offices, I can see them in their offices and for some dumb reason it intrigues me. One day was in there talking to him. He was working on his computer and I was standing there spinning this beautiful (pricey) globe. When all of a sudden the globe jumped off the stand and bounced on the floor. My eyes popped out of my head, and Leland's head... well it just jerked out and then he yelled "What did you do?!?" My jaw dropped and no words formed. NONE. He then scooted over on his chair to look at the damage. I then quietly said "uh... I think i may have broke your globe. OH MY GOSH!!! I broke your globe!" Then I laughed, and tried to pick it up. Leland also laughed and said "Get away from it! DOn't touch it! Give it to me!" LOL! I was laughing. I apologized and he laughed and said "It's okay. It was already cracked." I handed it to him and he goes "okay... get away, don't touch anything!" It was really quite funny, and embarrasing. He was able to put the globe back on the stand. I said "hey... now it's a 3-D globe. The ocean is sticking out."

See... I think I just created a new fault line. Maybe this is what happened to the city of Atlantis.
I have no idea why Leland loves me so much. Here is another "poor Leland" moment. See this plant?

See those yellow leaves... YEP... I'M TOTALLY KILLING HIS PLANT!!! Leland is on vacation this week, but today... I took this plant to the plant care people on the 1st lower level. I picked the yellow leaves off first, and now... it looks like it's balding- DANG IT! He comes back Monday (in two days) and I still haven't gotten the plant back. I plan to pretend as though there was never a plant there and it was all just a figment of his imagination. Maybe he won't notice the hole there. One can only hope...

A Blast from the Past

Okay... so these are a couple of old roommates, and a couple of friends (well they are all friends, but I really only hang out with 2 them lately (Kim and Julie). So.. from L-R they are: Julie, Allie (old roommie) Angela (old roommie) Tiffany (in front), Kim (my friend I helped get a job at the church) and then ME!!!

We all met up last wednesday to go to dinner. Allie just moved back to Utah with her husband and Tiffany is about to get engaged. It was one of those "catch-up" dinners, ya know. Tiffany and Angela still live in Branbury. We all met while living in Branbury.
This is Al, Tiff, and Jue (hahaha...I'm not religiously prejudice, but I think it's funny kim and I nicknamed Julie, Jue (jew) We even have this joke where when Julie does something silly, Kim and I look at each other and say... "that's so Jue-ish!" It probably shouldn't be funny, but we think it is). I'm pretty sure we had been at Los Hermanos about 2.5 hours at this point. I think they may have been cursing our names there.
They wanted me to lay across them like this, BUT... I refused, and having seen this picture... I'm gonna have to admit, I'm glad I did. If I wanted someone to touch my rear this like... it wouldn't be them... and to be quite honest... they wouldn't be female (did I just say that?). And... I wouldn't want my rear being the focus of the picture... but it's funny that Kim did it! Go Kim!
This was funny... we all really didn't fit on this bench. It was kind of hard to squeeze all of us on it. We look cozy... but really... it's a cover. Our butts are so crammed together on this bench that the waiter had to pry us off. Okay, that's a lie... but we really were pretty tight on it.
AHHHHHH!!!!!

YOU'RE GONNA WANNA READ THIS....

Okay... so, the other night (wednesday to be exact) I met up with some of my old friends at Los Hermanos in Lindon. While I waited for my not so punctual friends in the parking lot I thought to myself: Self... you are probably going to have to give Kim a ride home (Kim is a friend of mine that I helped get a job at the church, and we are kind of attached at the hip these days- it's fun). I bent down to pick my umberella up off the passenger side floor and put it on the back seat. As I bent down I saw this...

"HOLY SMOKES!!!"

And then my face did this....

I totally sat there and stared at it for a second in shock before I picked it up. Was it a figment of my imagination? Where did this come from? I don't remember misplacing a 20 dollar bill. Who is that stupid? Surely not me! Then I thought... "THANK YOU HEAVENLY FATHER!!!" And then... I'm pretty sure my stomach growled louder than ever and spoke out loud "Mmmmm...Mmm, Mmmm... we're gonna be eatin good tonight!" And then I went in to join my friends! I'm pretty sure it happened just like that!

Jump On It

Tonight Nicole and I took her kids to Jump On It in Lindon. It was SO much fun. Being that Nic is pregnant I took turns with the kids. It was funny, they were all scared to death at first. Miley took to it the fastest. She was bounced all over the place. I held Daveys hands until he warmed up to it, then he was all over the place. I also held Keili and bounced with her, and jumped holding her hands, once she warmed up she was also bouncing from tramp to tramp. Miley... she had no fear. She face planted so much. Nic and I were laughing so hard. She didn't even care, she'd just get up and go again.

This is where Davey accidently jumped too close to Keili- I think she was more scared than hurt. Check out Davey in the background... he was a jumpin maniac after a while.
