A very serious matter...

So you know how on TV and in movies you see corporate business guys sitting down at big important meetings to discuss the future of their company? And they're all in their suits and have super serious faces and use big corporate words? Well, that's what all of the managers in Utah county for enterprise are doing right now- to discuss the layoffs, you know? Let me tell you what I just overheard:

Manager one: If I get fired, would you re-hire me?
Manager two: Yeah, I'd re-hire you.
Manager one: as what?
Manager two: as my butt cleaner.

Corporate America at it's finest.

So I'm thinking about using this website as motivation to lose some weight and run a 10k. You "wager" money on yourself completing your goal, a goal "referee" of your choice monitors your progress and reports to the website, and if you don't meet your goal- your "wager" is donated to the charity of your choice! It is supposedly a legally binding contract. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find a loophole and get out of paying the wager if you don't meet you goals, but maybe not if you picked a good referee who really wanted to see you succeed. Anyway, check it out and tell me what you think... www.stikk.com

So our flight for NC left this morning at 10:00am. We were on the flight, but it turned out to be no easy feat. My brother-in-law spent the night with us last night and had to be at work (conveniently at the airport) at 7:00am. I hadn't planned on being at the airport until an hour later, so I did a little bit of griping that we had to wake up and be out the door an hour earlier than I had planned. Just a couple of exits outside of Orem, our passenger side rear tire blew out! We spun around out of control on I-15 going approximately 70 miles per hour with a massive semi-truck coming up behind us. This has happened to me one other time before in my life, but this time I wasn't at the wheel. And thank goodness. Chris did such a good job, he controlled the car well enough to keep us from hitting the median wall and managed to get us out of harm's way. Luckily, we were pretty close to a gas station right off the exit, where Chris and his brother changed the tire and managed to get us back to our apartment and switch us into my car. We made it to the airport in plenty of time- a little shaken up, but greatly comforted to know that my husband was able to take such good care of us in such a scary situation.
