P90x

2009-05-20T18:25:00.002-06:00

Once again I've been betting... with my husband. We got a workout program called P90x and we've heard it's really intense. So we decided to motivate ourselves by betting each other. He started the program 2 weeks ago and has lost 6 lbs! I just started on Monday... I haven't weighed in yet but I figure I will in a week and see how it goes!

YEAY!!!!!!!!!

I am no longer a child! At 8 am this morning I was no longer a metal mouth! Woo Hoo!

NCAA

2009-03-19T19:04:00.003-06:00

For the record, I couldn't care less about the NCAA March Madness tournament... but, my hubby loves it and he always bets on a bracket. Based on how many games he guesses correctly is how many points he gets... the person with the most points wins!
So... last year I filled out a bracket just for fun.. and ended up at least beating him... This year we filled out the brackets and today is day one of the tournament and I am 8 for 8!! Not that I want to jinx myself... but it's pretty funny that I know diddely squat about college basketball and I just happen to guess the correct teams!

I am such a nerd

2009-02-26T17:53:00.002-07:00

I bought the cooolest yarn the other day and I have not even been able to touch it! Now I decided I want another color to start off my blanket so I have to go get more yarn so I still haven't started my blanket and I am dying. Literally dying. I just want to crochet!!! Why God, why!??

My boss got stuck in the elevator

2009-02-18T19:38:00.002-07:00

True story!! Ha ha. My boss calls me this morning and he says "I need your expertise." Which usually means he wants me to help a customer or something, but this time it wasn't for that. So I asked him with what and he says "I'm stuck in the elevator." What am I supposed to do!?? I'm like, why don't you press the emergency button in the elevator! He's like, Oh yeah. haha so I called fleet and facilities and they came and got him out.
Then I told everyone that he was stuck in the elevator and apparently he was on the 3rd floor (and we're on the 4th) so I made this girl go and yell down the elevator shaft at him :) Overall, very funny experience!

D's First Snowman

2009-02-14T12:41:00.003-07:00

D loves the snow and he comes out and plays in the snow while I shovel. I usually just through snowballs for him and he chases after them or catches them in his mouth, but today we built a snowman!

I think the snowman might have looked better if D would've stopped eating it!!!

And now I'm dirty

2009-02-13T16:00:00.002-07:00

Dirty like dirt dirty not naughty dirty. So there is this wonderful building that we support (IT) that is just 100 yards away.... just enough to be a pain to walk there, and a girl calls and says "My monitor went out and my computer smells like burnt." ??!! Burnt??!! Burnt what? Like burning? Anyway so I go the 100 yards and get the computer all paranoid like I'm going to get shocked to death and I bring it back the 100 yards and open it up and it's covered in dust! So I spray it out (Icky) and I let it run for a little bit and it seemed just fine and didn't stink like Burnt. So I took it back the 100 yards and plugged it in and nothing... the monitor wouldn't turn on. GREAT. In the mean time the girl who sits at the computer next to this computer wanted to know if her computer was dirty so I opened it up and of course... filthy so we spray it with keyboard spray and dust goes everywhere! It's all over me now. bleh. Then I come back the 100 yards and get a monitor and take it over the 100 yards and start setting it up and there is this plastic piece thingy (that's the technical term) that covers the hole in the desk where the cables go through and the thing was too small and I couldn't get the old cable ends out or get the new ones in! Stupid and it had a screw in it (for what I don't actually know) and so I think 'well I'll be able to remove the plastic piece thingy if I take out the screwdriver.' So they dont' have a screw driver big enough for this so I go the 100 yards back to my building and get a screw driver and go back the 100 yards and take the screw out and the plastic piece still wouldn't move!!! Stupid! So I push it hard and it comes out.... :( and I put the monitor together and it works... Crap. And now I'm just dirty and walked 800yards just for that situation.

Me? A model?

2009-02-06T21:07:00.002-07:00

This guy that I work with just started as a part-time talent agent... He was telling us that he just finds people with potential and then sends them to the agency he works with... So JOKINGLY I asked him if he saw potential in me :)
So he's like well you could model... Me? haha! (I'll admit, I blushed). So I tell him I'm just kidding and there is no way that I would make it as a model, I'm not tall enough, skinny enough, or just plain good looking enough (not to mention... I have braces!!!!) Then we went on the website for his agency and they have all the model's measurements! Seriously.. but then we found some girls who were my size, and short like me... and some girls who (in my book) are not cute at all!
Then he tells me that they want all their models to have at least a few months of training so if they saw potential in me I could train while I still have my braces...
I still doubt I would ever be a model but at the same time... I wonder... Wouldn't it be nice?
On one hand, if they did like me (if I even go, if they even call!) that would be the ultimate ego boost... but if they didn't like me... BURN. Now I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't because if I don't go, I'll always wonder.

Mustach Girl

2009-02-03T20:08:00.002-07:00

I met this girl (who shall remain nameless) on Saturday that bugged the crap out of me. She was way too forward and acted like we were long-time buddies... but I didn't care for her. Plus, she had a mustach... and I understand some ladies have mustaches but it needs to be groomed ladies!! and base doesn't do the trick, it may in fact emphasis the upper lip hairs.
Anyway, I wouldn't pick on mustach girl if that's all that I had seen of her but she went on facebook and already requested my friendship! Seriously... I haven't accepted her yet because I don't know her and I feel like it's way too soon in our relationship to be friends on facebook... I don't know her and she doesn't need to be all up in my binez..
Then!!! She went and posted my awesome birthday cake that had nothing in the world to do with her! I was going to post that picture because it has to do with me and myyyyyyy friends. Stupid mustach girl.. get out of my life!

Tootie

2009-01-31T19:38:00.002-07:00

I don't know why I don't call him Gus anymore. I haven't called him that in a long time. I think I must have called him a cutie patootie and then just shortened it to tootie somehow. I don't think he'd respond to Gus anymore. I love how he thinks he so big. I don't know how anyone can't love this face! Seriously. I love my little toot.

Baby-D

2009-01-31T19:19:00.002-07:00

Look at him! I have to say my 60 lb boxer is 9 times out of 10 a pain, but most mornings he is the cutest! He knows after I get ready for the day that I have to put him in the kennel and he thinks if he's quiet I won't notice him and won't put him away... He's being very very sneaky... You can still see his squishy lips :) that's my Baby-D.

Little big kid

2009-01-30T19:19:00.002-07:00

Hi, I'm Brittany and I am 23 and have braces.
No matter how you slice it I look twelve with braces. So, I decided to have fun with it. Right now I'm rocking the RAINBOW look... yes that just happened. I figured I really can't look my age with braces and I want to have colored braces because I plan on never having them again!

Ogden Marathon

2009-01-30T15:15:00.003-07:00

Training for a marathon is not only physically demanding but it's really time consuming. My best friend and I were going to run the half marathon in Ogden this year but with both of us going to school full time and working more than part time we just don't have the spare time to train! I barely have enough time to work out when I do! (I mean, American Idol just started!)

This is a tentative half marathon schedule link :
http://www.halhigdon.com/halfmarathon/novice.htm... once you look at it you will understand what I mean. HOLY NUTS!

So now we're running the relay in the Ogden Marathon. There will be 5 people on our relay team "Fatal Error." The first runner starts at the beginning of the race and runs 7 miles, the next person runs 6, the next 5, the next 5 and the last person runs 3 miles to the finish line. All of the runners are IT bums that I work with. I don't think by any means that we will place at all but I think it will motivate me to train for the half (or full) marathon next year!

Also, Go Tracie for running the full marathon two years in a row!

SuperBowl XLIII

2009-01-30T13:24:00.000-07:00

WOO HOO! Go...... Whoever! I love the Superbowl for the yummy food and beverages and the kick-A commercials. This year my Tampa Bay Bucs didn't make the cut for the Superbowl and I'm torn on who to cheer for. The Cardinals are the underdogs and everyone wants them to win but I have to be honest I like the Steelers. I had Ben as my QB for a while in Fantasy Football and I feel I owe it to him to root him on! He had a rough go for a while but he's a tough player and I want him to win! On the other hand... I did have Kurt Warner as my QB in the final part of fantasy football but that's when he sucked. He would throw over 300 yards every game except when I finally get him on my team! Stupid head. So I guess I've come to this conclusion GO STEELERS!
