And It’s Only Wednesday!

I’m only half way through my week and I’ve had a whole MONTH worth of excitement.  Let’s see…

Obviously Halloween was a big ta-do, but I also got to babysit my boss’s puppy (Jac) Monday.  Turns out he likes to hang out under my desk…and take naps by my feet.  I love this little man.  My boss will say, “Go to your girlfriend’s office” and he’ll come running in through my door!

My prototype from China showed up!  This is super exciting because adidas Eyewear (yeah, adidas is not capitalized – they are too cool for proper grammar) has purchased my design for a 12 unit locking display cabinet.  It was honestly the highlight of my whole year thus far!!  It is so fun to see something you design come to life…or production, rather.  Look for it at all major eye wear distributers coming this December!

Tuesday was our final weigh-in for our family Health Contest we are doing, so to celebrate…Zach and I stuffed our faces at Rodizio after we stepped on the scale.  I ate enough glazed pineapple to make myself sick.  Literally.

This morning I woke up, drove to work, and got T-boned by a guy who failed to stop at a Stop Sign.

Luckily, I only got a few bruises and some aches and pains to show for it.  But poor Silvie…she’s in worse condition.  Once again, LUCKILY it wasn’t my fault.  Dad…did you hear that!?  The accident WAS NOT MY FAULT! (My high-school days were riddled with minor and major traffic violations.)  The poor guy who hit me came right out and said he didn’t even see the stop sign, so I was free and clear from a citation.  Luckily, my cute neighbor was nearby to go get Zach for me – he was in the shower and wasn’t answering his phone.  Because people don’t take phones in the shower with them.  Steve Jobs, why didn’t you THINK OF THAT!?  Just kidding.

My sweet co-workers drove me to lunch to my favorite place, and even bought me a slice of my favorite Nutella cheesecake.  (Thanks Jason!)

So yeah, another weird week under my sleeve I guess?  Like I said, it’s only Wed!

Halloween Weekend 2011

This whole weekend was kind of a blur, but here are some moments worth noting:

Visiting at the ward Trunk-or Treat

Utah vs. Oregon – The Blackout Game.

Date night at Market Street for delicious fish and clam chowder.

The annual cookie decorating festival with family and friends:  Cooper and Carter B decorating their pumpkin cookies.

Some people taking it more seriously than others….Uncle Ken with his “Triple Decker”.

Sushi and a scary movie (our Halloween tradition until we have kiddies to cart around for trick-or-treating).

Late night visits to the store for treasures…

Background:  I think Zach was a little overcome with the Halloween spirit.  I needed to run to the craft store before our date out and he runs right up to the Call of Duty Posters, posing and making shooting sounds.

Then he found a surveillance camera, and danced in front of it…for a while.

After our sushi and a late movie, Zach and I were in tears trying to find Lindsay Lohan’s music video…you know, this one:

Soon followed by Ashlee Simpson’s “Piece of Me”, Jessica Simpson’s “I’m Loving Angels Instead”, and some horrible song Zach loves by Tracy Chapman.

This is why we shouldn’t stay up late on school nights, or work nights I guess…

It was a weird weekend, bottom line.

Hope you all had a fantastic HALLOWEEN!!!
