Just Another Day

Nothing much to report on. We made it back from vacation. It was nice to get out of town for 2 weeks and relax, but I have to be honest...I was so happy to get back home. Andrew's parents were more than hospitable, it was to see some of his friends, and my friend Janice's wedding in Vegas was very cute.

I ate as much as a person could possibly eat while we were gone and I'm glad to be back trying to eat healthier. We decided we would eat whatever we wanted to while on vacation, but as soon as we were back home again we would behave ourselves and try to lose some weight. I think we both gained about 10 pounds while we were gone and I pretty much hate myself for it. Ok now I'm over it.

I don't have any pictures today because my camera died on the second day of vacation and I didn't take the cord to recharge it. Thankfully Andrew had his, so I will post some later.

Today I had to call into a conference hearing and I was a bit nervous about it. I don't really know why...I wasn't the one the hearing was for, but nevertheless I was still nervous. I just knew that once it came time for me to speak I was going to be a complete idiot and they were going to be recording every second of it. I would love to go into detail about the reason for the hearing, but unfortunately I'm not allowed to. So...just to be sure I was on time for the hearing I called a few minutes early and I was the first one to the "room." I decided to take a couple of big drinks of water before anyone else called in, so when it was time for me to talk I wouldn't have cotton mouth. Right after taking the drinks the phone beeped to let me know that a couple of other people were now on the line and then it happened. I had to burp. I thought to myself oh great, just perfect, yeah sure why not burp right in the ear of a judge and administrative representative that would be real professional. I'm sure by now Andrew is laughing his butt off because he knows what my burps are like and let me tell you they are not petite by any means. You will be relieved to know that the urge went away and the rest of the conversation was completely painless.

After the hearing was over I decided I should make a trip home to use the bathroom. I no longer use the bathroom in our shop because a couple of months ago I saw a gigantic black widow spider right next to my bare bottom while going pee and that cured me of wanting to use that bathroom. Plus, the guys here use my bathroom, so it is so gross (picture me shaking my fist at those dirty men). Anyway...we only live about 3 minutes from my office, so I don't see it as that big of a deal. I walked out the door of my office and clicked the lock button on my key fob. You might be thinking to yourself oh you silly girl you should have clicked the unlock button because you're getting in your car. Oh no, that's not the reason I did it at all. I clicked the lock button because at that moment in time my brain farted and I thought that would lock the door to my office.

Where Am I?

We made it safe to Montana on Friday night. I don't have much to say other than this is what has happened since leaving Reno Friday morning...
  • I was stared down by a creepy 13 year old boy.
  • I sat next to a smelly boy on the plane from Reno to Vegas.
  • We stood in line for an hour and a half in Vegas to get our Allegiant tickets. Allegiant is the airline we flew on from Vegas to Montana.
  • We ate at Fuddruckers. Awesome food.
  • We saw the bearded lady at Wal-Mart. I kid you not she was a large woman with a full beard.
  • And I know it might seem a little boring to some, but I have gotten to relax and take several naps since being here.

I am sort of annoyed at the fact that Andrew won't tell me what he got me for Christmas, but thankfully it is only day after tomorrow.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday. Take care and Merry Christmas!

The Butte-hole of America!

As some of you may know Battle Mountain, NV was named the Armpit of America several years ago by a man who writes for the Washington post. Battle Mountain now has an Armpit Festival every year to celebrate the fact that their town stinks and it is sponsored by Old Spice. This is not the point of the story, but I figured I would give a quick prelude to my story.

On Friday June 22, 2007 Andrew and I drove through Butte, Montana. I was informed by Andrew that Butte has a copper mine in the middle of town that has a giant pit. This therefore makes Andrew believe that Butte truly is the butthole of America. Also a direct quote from him states, "Butte is a shitty place to live."

On Friday we arrived in Great Falls. This is where Andrew was born and raised. Since being here I have heard about the people roaming around with ankle bracelets and the restaurant that was closed because they were caught cutting cocaine in the kitchen and selling it out the back door. I'm not quite sure where he has brought me, but here I am and I won't be back to sanity (Winnemucca) until the end of next week sometime.

Keep me in your thoughts and prayers... Andrew is going to show me more of Montana in the next few days and I am a little scared.
