The Week of Contest

So, this past week as been the week of contests for me. It all started Tuesday night. At nine a clock they have this thing called "the buck off" on K-bull 93, a country radio station. They play two songs and you chose which one should stay and which one should go. So there is this song by Carrie Underwood "I'll stand by you" that has been winning lately. I'm not to big of a fan of the song so I tried to call in and let it known. It is after 9 PM so the calls are free. Any ways I finally get through and the guy asks me who I would like to vote for and I replied, "I think you should buck her off." Needless to say that made the guy on the radio laugh. He liked it so much he had be start over because he was not recording. So we did a retake but there was a different ending. I informed me that I was caller number 93 and won tickets to a Diamond Rio concert in August. Needless to say I was shocked. After a second of thinking about it, I realized, it is not what you know but who you know. If I had been caller 93 he would have been recording me from he get go.
So Thursday 9 PM rolled around and I was just getting off work. Carrie was still on top going against Taylor Swift and "Tear Drops on My Getare." So I called in again to try and off Carrie. It took a few minutes of trying but it started to ring, and ring and ring. Finally the guy picked up and I had a little fun asking, "How is my girl Taylor doing?" We joked around for a minute and then he informed me that I was... caller 93 and has won a pair of tickets to Diamond Rio. For the record I was not trying to win, I just wanted to off Carrie. Any who it was a different D-J filling in for the night. Needless to say Jason Vilos won a pair of tickets to Diamond Rio :)

So on Friday, someone two else over came up to me and asked me if I wanted to be in a pie eating contest. I like pie and all but I had eaten lunch at 12:20 came into work and one and in the space of an hour ate 2 bagels. I was stuffed. I was thinking that I would be set, for most of the night. So I get roped into the pie eating contest because the other guy was fasting. I was thinking that I would be one of 8 people so I could just sit back and watch everyone else go to town and just go slow and enjoy myself... ya, that didn't happen.
So we went outside and I found out that I was only one of four people who would be eating pies and that each person represented a department. When I found that out it made the competition start to get to me, then I that we had banana cream pies. When that was announced, I heard Jeremy say to Zack (the man representing their department) "you got this one won." When I heard those words come out of my brother's month, I think that put me over the edge, I was going to win this thing.
Well, the two minutes went by and I ended up winning. I had the whole pie eaten with about 20 seconds left. Everyone started to catch up so I had keep going and I started to eat the crust.

It was a lot of fun, and I won $10 in Bajio bucks… woo woo! I am also know now at work as- the pie eater in addition to Jeremy’s brother.

What would you look like?

So if I was an M&M I figure this is what I would look like. I found this website and it is kind of fun. Go to http://www.becomeanmm.com . It is fun and I want to see what everyone would like to look like as an M&M. Post your picture in the comments area. If you have any questions let me know. You can just make it up and then there is a download button on the bottom of the screen that will then give you the option of saving it on the computer.
I like the red and the yellow, it makes it look more bright and happy. I like the thick frames, I have been told I look good in glasses. :) I chose the soccer ball and the gloves because I was a golly back in the day. I wish my hair could be that strait, but it curls. All and all I think that's one good looking M&M.

Feeling a little older...

So I had an interesting week last week. It all started off with FHE. I was in a car with a group of six other people and we were just having the conversation to get to know a little about each other. After being in the car for 10 minutes one of the girls in the back blurted out, “I am the grandma of the car, I’m the only one that is 23.” You know, it must have been the way she said it, but all of the sudden 24 seemed a lot older then it is. I really was not surprised. I had mentioned earlier that I was on my mission from 02-04 and half over half of the car graduated in 2004 or 2005. :)

So the rest of the week was filled with work, homework, and a little playing around. After Wednesday and my class will all be over. Anyways, this past weekend I ended up going to Kaysville on Friday night and then Saturday night I spent some time back in Bountiful. It is amazing how everything seems so much smaller.

I happened to be up there to see the sun set. You know, they really have some good sun sets up there. I took some pictures while I was there but you really just don’t catch it all. Well hope you enjoy the view… I know I did.

Oh, I wanted to get a thanks to Julie for letting me us her camera and sending me these pictures.

An unpleasant surprise

Well the other week as some of you know I ended up going down to St. George to see my parents before they left for Alaska. As I left I noticed that the garbage in the kitchen full and about to over flow. My first thought was to take it out… but then I figured that I would be gone for the next few days and I would give that joy to someone else. Well you can all see the pleasant surprise that a waited me when I got back.

Other then this the apartment has not been to bad, and my roommates have been great. Two of them are moving out this week. Both will be replaced with kinds who are 18 years old. I have started to feel old living here in Provo :(

Hero Day

So I have been pleasantly surprised to find out that there are a few people that do read this blog. I had a comment that I should make an update every week, like on Sunday or something. While that does sounds like an idea that I will be trying there is something that I wanted to post today.

Today at work is Super Hero day and since I was one of the people that came up with the idea, I thought I should dress up. Well I came up with a smile "hero" that I could be. Just before I found out we were doing this after I cut my hair, which was to bad. So for all of those who remember what I dressed up for this Hallowing it will come as no surprise as who I went as. The one thing I did do this time that I didn't do before was I had a girl up mascara on my eye lashes... I looked so pretty :)

So I figured out how to send myself pictures from my phone so my will be getting a few of them now. They are not the best quality, but you work with what you got.

Thanks for reading all.
