flying < everything else.

so this is the story of my LIFE.

booked the wrong date for my flight to vegas... so that awesome deal that i got on my flight has now cost me over $500 to fix. yes, delta charged me an additional $200.00 for a flight that i DID NOT ASK FOR. oh, and the freaking people at customer service DO NOT SPEAK ENGLISH. and DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM SAYING.

hey delta. i'm never flying on your stupid airline again.

viva.

so for $88, today i will be flying here:



to hang out with this girl for her 22nd birthday.

how awesome is that?
oh, i know.
oh, and we'll be residing here for the next three nights.


i love my life.


anyway, in other news, i am officially running again. which is good because the hobble creek half is in approximately 44 days and i am only to about 4miles so far... yikes. my stupid leg is being very dumb and decides to start aching at mile 2, which is quite annoying. but maybe when i get back, it will have healed itself. :)

also, i'm going river rafting/camping on 24 july, which is pretty awesome/terrifying. i have never really been camping before, as i was raised in a household where hotels were always the way to go. but i think it will be fun, partly because of the presence of this one boy...

well, i'm at work so i should probably actually do some work.
okay, peace out.

babies are difficult to shop for.

so yesterday i went to buy a present for eli, a new baby that i know. and let me tell you, buying boy baby clothes is so not as fun as buying girl baby clothes. (unless it's these, which i bought for boozie) but i ended up buying something really fantastic for kate, instead of eli, because there just was nothing for a boy baby. he would've been forced to wear some kind of strange romper with no sleeves (yikes.) that said "dad's construction worker" or something equally as ridiculous (double yikes.)

so, sorry eli. it's just not fair for you boy babies.

anyway. there is a nest of birds that live outside of my window, and every single morning at 5:30 or earlier, they think it is a very fun idea to scratch their little feet against the window and also crash into it. i am considering hiring a bounty hunter to alleviate the problem, as i haven't slept past 5:30 in three weeks. and that is extremely grim.


does anyone have advice on how to quell caffeine-addiction headaches? i'm quitting coke and have had a perpetual headache for three days.

being a juror?

so this happened.
i have lived in utah for four years. and so far, in the last month i have been summoned three times for jury duty. three! but the trials kept getting cancelled, so then i was still on the list. apparently. so today was a real trial that i actually had to show up for! i'll admit it, i'm a nerd; i was a little excited. i mean, it seems a tiny bit cool, no? but then there were like fifty people there and i was pretty sure i wouldn't get picked...
but i did.

weird.

and the whole trial (even though i'm not supposed to talk about it...i'm not saying names or details though...) is about someone who may or may not have shoplifted a thing. which is weird, also, because this trial shenanigan seems like a lot of work for two packs of batteries.


so anyway. that's my experience with being a juror. i get to go back tomorrow for lots more sitting around fun! the trial parts are sort of cool, i think, but today i learned that lawyers take some seriouslyyyy long recesses.

i've been told that my blogs are depressing?

sad.

so i'm cheering it up today.

i registered for the hobble creek half marathon on 23 august. :) that should be... awesome. i just need to start running again. after the last race, i kind of took an inadvertant break from running, and haven't really been able to get back to my routine. it's not good. but i wrote down the mileage for each day on my calendar and i have 13 weeks from today to train. so it'll be good. going four today, so we'll see how that goes. :)

i miss my friends! for awhile i was hanging out with them like every day, and this week has been so boring! (except that i rediscovered the sims, so that rocked.)

speaking of... lasik was so crazy. seriously, everyone should get it. it's soso cool. it takes only like 5min per eye, and i was 20/20 within 24 hours of having it. it was kind of terrifying at first, because this dude was all, "okay i'm going to cut your eye..." but once it got started, i kind of forgot what was going on because it all goes black and then reallyyyyy fuzzy. so i didn't really know what he was doing. but then it worked apparently, because i can seeee :)

anyway, i'm at work again. working saturdays would be lame, except that today i get to work with gillian and brittany, so basically it'll be an awesome saturday. except that i woke up at 715am, which is not that fun.

oh, the season-ending miss.

why didn't korver take that shot?
can anyone answer this question?

it is so hard to be a fan. the wins are great, but the losses (particularly the season-ending 3-point losses) just make me feel sad and sick. i hate being so invested, because i feel kind of stupid for caring so much. particularly when, in professional sports, one must wonder if the game is pre-determined, based on which team would sell the most tickets should they go to the playoffs. (lakers/celtics? both top-seeded teams?) but alas.

i'm trying not to rewatch the last three minutes of that game, because it's just too sad.


i'm having lasik surgery on monday. part of me is horribly afraid that i'll be that one person who spends all that money to no avail. but most of me is ridiculously ecstatic to never have to put in another pair of contacts. (oh, except for those green ones i got with no prescription. i'm quite vain.) but it will be kind of amazing to wake up in the morning and be able to see the clock without putting contacts in. or to fall asleep in front of the tv and not worry about dry eyes or broken glasses.

i'm at work right now, so this is kind of disjointed because i keep stopping to help patients and forgetting what else i want to say on these subjects.

i always invest way too much into things (see first paragraph).

i'm ready to be done at work.
