Hard Earned Meal


So on my lunch break today I decided I wanted a sandwich... more specifically a sub sandwich. I drove to Subway and waited in the drive-thru for literally 10 minutes behind 3 cars that weren't moving. And if you know me at all you understand that I have ZERO patience, and I couldn't take it anymore so I left. 

Because I wanted a sub sandwich so badly I decided I would try Blimpie. Ryan said it was good, and I can't remember ever having it before. Well when I got to the window to order, I decided I wanted a kids meal because that's all the food I needed. So I order.... Then the guy looks at me and then I see him trying to look in the back of my car... 

"For a kid?" he asks.

"yup." I answered unnerved. 

So then he's looking in the back of my car again really searching around for kid in a car seat. Then he says, "you know the kids meals are for kids 12 and under right?"

I say, "yup. I can't have a kid a home?" 

He still is looking at me really suspiciously, but then finishes the order and gives me my food. I even tried to order really kid like foods like a ham a cheese with nothing on it, and a root beer instead of some highly caffeinated drink.  Anyway, I get my food and leave, then notice that he didn't give me my little treat... I guess he didn't believe me after all. Jerk.

So I think that 12 and under rule is REALLY stupid. I don't want a lot of food dang it, why should I have to pay for it?? It's irritating that they have that age restriction on it. So I usually order a kids meal anyway and nobody has ever said anything about it before. I was surprised he even asked... 

So I'm kind of a bad person... In case you didn't know.

Sister Kim



Kim came up a couple of weeks ago with her family, and while her oldest was enjoying a week of EFY I got to hang out Kim and her other kids.... That she loves more.... (sorry Romney, but that's what she told me)




The first day we hung out in Provo waiting for Kim to figure things out and for her to get the courage to finally leave Romney on her own. When she finally got the strength, we ate at Brick Oven, then had my first experience at The Creamery on 9th. Which let me tell you, has the LEAST efficient workers I've ever seen in my life. Kim and I decided that the place could have been run better by monkeys.  Then we headed up to Thanksgiving Point to go to the Dinosaur Museum. Oh, before that I had the pleasure of introducing my niece, Tatum and her cousin Audrey to The Beatles and Pink Floyd... which they did NOT appreciate. Such a sad state these days are... With the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus, the music industry has gone to hell.


Anyway, at the museum we saw some stuff, and the kids played in the sand river for a good hour giving me plenty of time to sit. Which is awesome because I was really tired and lazy and didn't really feel like learning anything. 


Then on another day we went to the ZOOOOOOO!! I don't know why I capitalized that, I guess I was excited because I had never been to the Utah ZOOOOOOO! Sorry again. 




And this last picture is one that Tatum took while the younger ones were playing at the park. She had my camera quite a bit that day just taking pictures of everything. She thought I would just delete all of them, but little did she know I posted the Nerds one that she took. It's a good one Tates!!

This is why I shouldn't be a housewife.

I could probably watch infomercials all day. It's a little guilty pleasure of mine. I woke up earlier than Ryan one Saturday and probably spent a good hour and a half watching informercials on P90X, and Slim in 6. But the one that REALLY convinced me that my life is not complete until I have one is the Haan Steam Cleaner. I mean, this thing sounds like it would change my life by owning it. It kills 99% of germs and bugs, AND I can use it on carpets, sofas and EVEN mattresses!!!! I can't even believe how much I need this... Ryan can't either, and won't let me buy it. But one day, I will get the steam cleaner of my dreams and succeed in finally enjoying sanitizing the house. We can all dream, right?
