Surgery

I can never really spell that word right which means I shouldn't have to have it right? I guess not. I'm having Carpal Tunnel Surgery tomorrow morning. It's apparently a good one to start with if you've never had surgery before, at least according to the scheduling lady.
I'll post pictures of my bandaged hand so you all (whoever you all is) can feel sorry for me. My wonderful and amazing friend Kelsey is taking me to the clinic and is gonna babysit me after so I don't do anything weird. Who knows how the fun pain meds will effect me, last time I took anything stronger than Ibuprofen i couldn't stand up straight.
That's all for now. I'm writing this at work because there isn't anything to do right now and I figured if I was typing they'd think I was working on work stuff.

Thanks for Graduating!

Kelsey's sister Catherine graduated from High School and was down in Provo for General Conference so her sisters decided to have a Surprise Graduation Party for her. It was a fun excuse for everyone to get together while all the guys were at the Priesthood session. They decided to have 80s glamor shots, here's some of the fun photos.

Amy Rae....fur shure!!

Me in my 80's glory

Trying to be a rocker chick


Kelsey's Mom


Kelsey's dad thought she looked more like a Geisha than an 80's girl.......oh well.


Catherine and her friend Aimee

Elizabeth......I think she looks the most authentic

It was a fun night, we had pizza and cake and had lots of fun, thanks ladies for letting me be a part of it.

You wanna know what's not ok.....?

When you have bad heartburn so you when you get home from work you take some Tums hoping to feel better. You wait patiently for it to start working then not only do you have the bad heartburn you then feel super nauseated! :( It turns out that Tums has milk it in! In case you didn't know, milk and I, not such good friends.
I just had to share that with someone.

Y.......why not?

Amy had the great idea to hike the Y so that's how we spent our morning yesterday. When I read stuff about the hike I had read that it was an "easy" hike. What I want to know is compared to what?! It was a really great hike but it reminded me of how out of shape I am and oh yeah, the whole asthma thing. It feels great to have accomplished it, it was something that I've wanted to do as long as I've lived here.

If you think I look thrashed remember that I was climbing a mountain!


Amy looks less thrashed.....how did she do that?

This is the view from the top of the Y looking down.

This is me at the entrance to the hike, the picture was taken after we finished the hike.


The hike is 1.2 miles each way and 980 in elevation. Lets just say I'm glad I did it but I'm also glad it's over.

Cats

All I have to say is it's not all it's cracked up to be. Amy, Shawna and I went to Salt Lake tonight because Amy was told about some cheap tickets. Luckily the tickets weren't that much. It wasn't bad but it sure wasn't good.

That's all for now, it's late and I'm sleepy.

A Big Purchase

Guess who got a new (used) car!? Me! I got a 2004 Honda Civic. My cousin is a car salesman up in SLC and gave me the family discount so I got a good deal. My old car wasn't in horrible shape but it had seen better days (see previous post about accident). Here is a picture of me and my new car (it's a new dress too but that didn't cost near as much).

I've been tagged...

Thanks Kels for picking me so I had a reason to write something. I'm gonna tag Deon Christensen because she posts even less often than I do!



A little aside for all my overconfidant friends like me, if you think that you don't need to turn the lights on when you're going down the stairs because you know your house and you know how to walk down stairs, you are probably wrong. I was carrying two glass glasses (one half full of orange juice) down the stairs and missed the last one. I ended up in a heap at the bottom of the stairs and covered in orange juice. Luckily I didn't get sliced on the glass. It's nice to know that I have good friends to look after me though. Amy came running down the stairs to be sure I wasn't dead and Ben came over from next door to be sure I wasn't being murdered. All in all it was an exciting evening.
