Series of Unusual Events

Number 1 - Mindless Whitney:

Well.

I took Grandma to my brother Justins Play the other Monday.

Chris and I arrived rather early to pick her up. She wasn't quite ready and of course on the way there was stressed that she was to make us late.
She mentioned on the way there how excited she was to see Justin sing and act, while reminding Chris how Justin was her first grandson they have.
We got there just in time, sat down, and watched a two hour play, with a ten minute intermission.

Although, we never saw Justin.

I was a bit suspicious when I couldn't find Sarah or Jeremy in the crowd...but shrugged it off.

We were all severly confused, I was rather embarrassed, but couldn't understand why Justin wouldnt have told us that his part was cancelled.

On the drive home, I called my Mom. Found out that Justin now teaches at a different High School now. Apparently I was told of this.

Embarrassed. Very embarrassed.

Justin thought it was hysterical. We had talked a few nights before, to make sure I knew how to get there. I assured him I had been there to his class before, and I had. Although in his mind he was thinking that I had been there for seminary when I first moved to SLC, which I had.
Oddly enough both high schools were having comical plays at seven o'clock for a five dollar entrance fee, just as Justin had said.

Oh man, How bad I felt for dragging my grandmother out to the wrong play she was so excited to see. Kept her out til 11 o clock too!! haha

On the bright side, Grandma had quite the liking to Chris. She insisted on him escorting her by the arm, and talked his ear off. Grandpa couldn't quite place him, he knew he had a Chris in the family, but this wasn't the one he remembered. :)

Utterly, I fail. But, it was good to spend some time with my grandma.

Number 2 - Amanda Dusoe....in a dress?


We had a Oscar party at my friend amandas house. Her mom had it all set up with food, drinks, and a red carpet. We were all required to dress formal.
Stunning...we looked stunning.

Number 3 - Boom! Bang! :

So the other day Chris' Porsche blew up.

Yes, Boooooom. Blew up, on fire and everything. Scared me to death, and devestated him. So I went and rescued him right. I parked in front of his house, which happened to be on a hill.
We went inside, I tried to console him....five minutes later the door bell rings...

My car had rolled down and hit into another car...bah, At least they had their car turned into the curb, and no damage was done. But I was very amused. In park, and parking break...Bad car day. At least it kinda made Chris laugh.

So that is my quick week of unusual events

My kids cuter than yours

Just Laugh....

This is the photo that gets me through some sad times. Haha. Duece and his "snarl face"....he gets a good lip curl when you scratch just the right spot...

REDD Blood and Guts

This last weekend was an amazing one. I enjoyed it to the fullest. I had the most amazing 'end' to my climbing season.
On saturday I took my family to Dicks sporting goods at the gateway and got them in on some free climbing. The wall there is run by a couple of friends, so it was a sweet deal. It is three stories high, roughly 70 ft is what we decided.
Syd rocked it up half way her first time, and then made it to the top on her next try! I was so stoked, and she really enjoyed being lowered afterwards...I hope Ive started her on an addiction.
Justin also climbed the smiley face holds at the wall as well, he did superb...couldnt let all of his younger sisters show him up! :)
I am super stoked that my family is down to try climbing, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside! Thanks you guys! Jeremy...its your turn!!

The next day, chris, sean and I headed up the thumb in Little Cottonwood Canyon.
It was about a 45 min approach, that nearly killed me. Then, we started up an eight pitch climb to the thumb. The weather was beautiful...like 60 degrees, i am sunburnt :)
The first pitch and second pitch were pie, we did them rather fast. Then, on to the hardest part... the 5.11c finger crack...granite finger crack. I screamed in pain up this climb and left a fair amount of blood in its awkward crevice. The belay station was packed with 6 other climbers.. Twas intense. I got a bloody nose from a dood throwing rope for his climber, we laughed, but i was severely pissed. ha.
Next, was an off width of death, I LOVED IT! But we didnt have time to finish to the thumb so we headed down around 4 o clock, rappelling from hanging belay to hanging belay. Tooooo exciting. A good 8 hours of climbing, I was SPENT!

On monday, I did a 5.8 er .9 and dinked around on a 5.11
Than ended up leading a 5.11 climb called black monday. . . I missed the crux clip three times, falling to the next bolt. haha. Gave Chris and Josie a couple of heart attacks. Buuuut felt so good to finish a hard climb...I gave off a good victory grunt at the top "yippee Kiyay!"

Gnarly climbers hands-you know you want some
beautiful, they are, beautiful, hope they never heal...to get me through the winter
:)

Any who, Got home around 5 that day, and had to be ready to go to the GWAR concert at 6:30. I showered and passed out til 6:45 ... lucky my friend agreed to pick me up at 7 instead.
The opening band was pretty stellar, the next band sucked...and then GWAR...Well, GWAR was nuts.

They are elaborately dressed and very opinionated. They killed McCain, Obama, and Hilary on stage...spraying their blood all over the crowd. I was drenched. We were packed in, shoving people, dancing, and shivering from the colorful liquids all over, SOOOO much fun! Loved it. I scared T when I got home, looking like I had been to hell and back...take a gawk...I am not sure why there is green and blue in there? Ewww

Goldfish shaped Meshackers

_{K so}

I am dog/goldfish sitting for Justin & Sarah, right.
Well.....I spent the night at their house b/c it just works out better this way. And well, Duece likes to get up early, around 5 am. So I get out of bed, and take him out side. He does his thing and I head back to switch dogs( let meshack out, duece in).

welp, we were locked out.

So here I am 5 am, in my PJ's. Tank top and undies^{(what? Its summer, and I don't have the luxury of garments)}...Traipsing around Coppertons very own seminary teachers house, attempting to break in.
I found out that their bedroom window was open.
Although, this was no hop inside. I'm short, window high.

So I did the whale/spread eagle trying to get into the house with out knocking over the lamp and getting mud everywhere.

Mission accomplished though.
So I let Meshack out. The bugger runs from me.
so here I am in my skives, chasing a dog down the street, yelling Meshack! Meshack!

Yep. Church could be interesting for you this weekend bro.

Buuuut, the story doesn't end there.
Just so happens that friend of mine lives near to Justin, well behind. He called me nearly in tears this morning telling me how entertaining it was to watch.

-_-

_{I am my mothers daughter(doesn't it sound like something my mom would do? or even Roxy? tehe)}

Duece

So I was bored one day because I went home from work early due to an allergic reaction I had. Yeah. I am allergic to something at my work. It has been peachy.
_{& yes, of course I am allergic to work in general}
So anyways, Duece and I had a little photo shoot. ha. He didnt like it.

Ka-lose up!
Pay no attention to AKC, They may have denied him...but I mean look at that studmuffin. Hes harvard material.

"Mom, I hate you right now" -Duece

Yes, mainly just rolled over and tried to ignore me.

He really didn't enjoy me dressing him up.

HA.
