Daily Update

It was a Monday night. the clouds stayed at home for the first evening in a week. The sun was frolicking in its playground all afternoon, thus heating up the earth. Cool breezes filled the evening sky. Busy cars swarmed the earth like ants in their hive.

For Family Home Evening we went to Logan's house to barbecue hot dogs. During FHe I got a call from Plewe. He told me he started eating the Pies that we made last friday, and that it was almost gone. I started threatening physical harm to him very loudly so that everyone else around me could hear. Kristen, the co-baker, was also pissed and she said she was going to kick him right in the crotch if he ate any more of our pie. So at that point he fessed up, and changed his story and told us that he was just kidding. (lucky for him)

Another thing worth mentioning about fhe; so, there is this girl in our ward named Melissa. She's an average medium-small girl, but she's just moved up on MY opinion scale. Now let me just tell you why: We were having a discussion about clocks and calendars for a minute. someone said something about the calendar being off by 12 seconds every 100 years, or something like that. So Melissa states that that would be how long it would take her to eat the hot dog he was holding in her hand. so, me an my big mouth quickly blurts out "prove it!". so she says, "OK". and then proceeds to shove this normal sized hot dog, on a hogie bun into her mouth as fast as she can. WOW. I was utterly amazed, and told her so. She shrugged it off and then stated that she could do that 10 more times easy. Them me again, with the wheels turning in my head say "I got 5 bucks that says you can't" So she glares at me just like most girls do when I try to talk to them, and then marches over to the food table and comes back 6 seconds later with the 10 more hot dogs and buns. Now let me repeat that these were Hogie buns, which are large enough for costco sized hot dogs, or sandwiches, and there 10 of them. I gave her an hour to complete the task. As she reached number 5 in about 20 minutes I was starting to get nervous. By then there was a crowd gathering. some of the other girls were begging her to stop, but she was to far into the competition to back out now. Although she had her heart set on winning, for glory's sake- not money, she didn't make it to the end. The buns were to much for her petite frame. Either way I would have been impressed to loose, but I was deep down happy to win, cause I've lost so many other bets vs. girls. Lets just say that when I'm betting with or against Blueberries, my outcome hasn't ever been favorable. (not yet anyway!)

After that a few of us went back to Veteran to partake in the 'Finishing of the Pies'. They were GOOD, well the Pecan one was. OK, I'll be honest, it was spectacular. It was a 9.85 on a 1-10 scale. One of the only ways it could have been better is if there were lots more of it, and we didn't have that option. another way it could have been better is if it was around the holiday season, and its not, so oh well. The jeff/trisha experimentation of chocolate moose/cream/soufflé/whatever mixture didn't quite make the grade in my opinion. After that and during the eating we discussed the planning of the 'Homecoming Football game. We came up with some great ideas. I'm excited about what's going to be planned! Josh is way into it and he even called me today at work to fill me in on what he's come up with. Its gonna be great.

I think my shampoo is made of real bits of Rain-forest. Its called 'tea tree'. I'm sure the girls out there have heard of it. I've mentioned it yesterday, but its the stuff that the crazy Russian sold me. My hair now smells like 'Ricola', the swiss cough drop. As I was researching this 'skull-peppermint' flavored shampoo, I noticed small bits of foreign objects in the mixture; straight from the floor of the Rain Forest. Now thats real quality. Then the other stuff I got made with small bits of dolphin. I'm pretty sure of it. I read the ingredients last night, and most of the words I didn't understand, I'm really spoiling myself I guess.

I'm listening to 'Smoke or Fire' right now. They are an alternative punk type band. They're pretty good. (I was listening to Air Supply earlier and it a lot to 80's for me. I realized that when I turned to a co-worker and asked them to slap me across the face)
