So Saturday we saw Mall Cop. It was cute but kinda cheesy. And Red Lobster = super delicious. And I don't even like fish... haha tricksy, huh? Actually I just got chicken. It was so stinkin good!
Lunch today is a Yoplait strawberry yogurt. It's the last of my pack of 8. I used to love these things, but today and last week I pretty much had to gag them down. "Stop eating them," you say? Well I don't drink enough milk in my life. I hate the stuff...unless it's with cereal and I don't eat cereal very often. So... to prevent having frail bones when I get older, I eat yogurt. I think I'm going to try Yoplait light from now on. Maybe I will like that better.
Great news! I haven't bitten my nails since... well the week before Christmas so that's....4 weeks now, ish? Two of them broke a couple of weeks ago, but I haven't had any breaks since. At least, not yet. They always break. But, I did cut them and paint them yesterday, so they should be good. I bit so much off the sides of my nails that it is going to take forever for them to grow out. I don't really know how to explain, but I trimmed them so they are short, but they are growing in a square shape instead of the funky shapes they used to be because the sides were so short. On another note, that means 11 months until Christmas! Get excited. Haha just playing.
I started Wii Fit again yesterday! More good news: I lost 2 pounds since I last used it. Go figure. Losing 2 pounds through the holidays. Sounds more like losing the muscle and gaining more fat, hence losing weight. No worries though. By Spring I want a nice toned tummy and bum for the vacations I'm taking (Vegas, cruise...). I think I will need more than Wii Fit though so I'm thinking about purchasing some pilates videos. I dunno, we'll see.

Ok so it wouldn't really be a date. But seriously, how awesome would that be?! Way awesome, that's how. Probably awkward too, but more so awesome.
Tonight I am going to Red Lobster with my hubby, little brother whom I love so very much and his fabbity fab girlfriend whom I also love very much. I love Lancee too, fyi. Then afterwards we are going to a movie. It's so cool to grow up and go on double dates with your siblings. Seriously, I love it.

Sometimes Ups Outnumber The Downs
...but not in Nottingham.
Turns out I am NOT going to St Louis. Here's the story:
Dani Johnson is the person who is in charge of First Steps to Success, and she had to have emergency back surgery last week, so she re-scheduled the seminar for February 7 and 8. My reservation to go to the seminar was still fine, so all I had to do was re-schedule my flight and hotel. Simple, right? WRONG!
Rachel was going to go with me and she bailed out because of the date change. So I called US Airways and tried to change the name on her ticket to Lance. But no luck, they wouldn't do it. Carrie (my manager) said that sometimes if you talk to them in person they are a little more understanding. So I drove up to the air port to talk to them. I explained to them what happened. I paid for the tickets, I should be able to put whoever's name I want on there, right? The guy I talked to was very nice, he felt really bad, but he honestly could not do anything. I would have to contact some corporate office and if they decided that my reasoning was feasible, they would send me a written letter of such and such and even then security might not believe me. Plus, I don't have time to wait for a freaking letter. So basically I was stuck with a ticket with Rachel Ward's name on it. I could cancel hers, and fly myself, but that's a $150 ticket change fee. $150 ticket change fee?!?!?! WTF? It doesn't cost money to electronically switch the effing dates on my flight to 2 weeks later. Come on!! So I just cancelled everything. I have a flight credit in my name and a flight credit in Rachel's name, but no money from Rachel yet. Hopefully she pays up. Hopefully the flight credit is worth SOMETHING. Even then, I have to pay the $150 ticket change fee in order to go book that new flight. It is so messed up. DO NOT FLY WITH US AIRWAYS!!
At least the hotel was nice and fair in cancelling my reservation and giving me 100% of my money back. Stupid airlines. Ugh !@#$%^&*()(*&^%$#@!
That is all. ☺

Alcohol Free Hangovers
Seriously, I'm just bored.
So here's my new hair! You can't really tell in this lighting though. Oh well.
I don't feel well. I slept way too long yesterday. Long story about that, lemme share!
I leave for work at 6:20am to get there by 7. Well, yesterday, a truck decided to get himself jack-knived right after point of the mountain. It was blocking all the lanes except for the carpool lane. Yeha... so it took me 50 minutes to get from Lehi (right before the point of the mountain) to the Bangeter Highway exit. I don't exit there.. but that's about where this gay truck was. OMG it sucked! Ok, so I worked and work was dandy, and then on my way home, guess what happened? THE EXACT SAME THING!!! This time it was in Lehi though. So it took me 45 minutes to get past that one. How freaking retarded is that? At the time I thought it was funny, and I was extremely patient, but I was so tired when I got home that I took a 3 hour nap. I woke up and watched TV for maybe an hour and then went back to bed. So I slept from 9pm to 11 am, plus my 3 hour nap. So that's 17 hours of sleep. Now I feel hungover, only, without alcohol. It's bad.
