waterskiing + snowskiing = one day

This past Memorial Day weekend was great. I wanted to go out of town and it took all my will power to stay and study, successfully I did stay home and studied a lot.

My mom and I went up to Wellsville on Sunday afternoon, some of my ancestors founded Wellsville, and visited some graves. The drive was beautiful.

I was surprised by how quickly I became attached to the graves in Wellsville. It has been a couple of years since I have visited the Wellsville cemetery.

Monday was a miracle...as Rachel put it.

I started off with a bike ride up Emigration Canyon and met my little brother Chase at Ruth's for breakfast. Have you had their biscuits? They are so delicious.

Next Rachel, Cait, Kev and I went snowskiing at the Bird. Probably the worst snow day of my life, but we skied in t-shirts and did action shots the entire way down the hill. Afterwards we headed up to Evanston, Wyoming and went waterskiing. The water so cold, but the ski always makes it worth it.

Watersking and snowskiing in the same day has been one of my friends and my life goals. I know we are vain, but it was accomplished in excellent company.

so far today...

1. Woke up this morning and thought it was Wednesday or Thursday, when I realized it was Tuesday I was so sad.

2. Washed my hair today, not that this is bad, but I washed it yesterday. And don't you know, you are only supposed to wash your hair every other day. Basically I forgot I had washed it yesterday.

3. Saved myself from getting a parking ticket by chance...thank goodness my mom helped me out with my laundry this weekend...I know, I am almost 25.

4. Found tomato on my skirt, love it when this happen. Did I mention my skirt is dry clean only?

5. Just told my work friend that my string cheese is the best part of my day...really? I am pathetic.

Side note: sat next to a schizophrenic guy at the library last night, he was having a conversation with himself and only himself. I felt bad for him.

Side note #2: Went to a concert last night at the Cathedral Madeline, it was beautiful.

simple observations.....

Yesterday while I was in a meeting, enjoying myself, I made some simple observations....


Sitting around a long round circular table....5 men on one side, 5 women sitting on the other side

The only 2 Diet Cokes on the table belonged to women and the only 2 Mountain Dew's belonged to Men

All the women had notes pads and were actively taking notes

2 of the men had note paper, neither of them wrote until the last few minutes of the 2 hours meeting

A women walked in half way through the meeting, the door from which she entered was much closer to the men, she walked all the way around the table and sat next to the women

Women got up twice a much to get food compared to men

All the members of the meeting had equal say in the conversation, everyone was engaged in the conversation

1 man gave a presenation, 1 woman gave a presenation

these are my observations..

peace out.
