Today I have been complaining about the weather.  I feel really bad about this b/c I have been complaining about how cold it is for the past couple of months.  I mean, its almost May and it is finally warming up.  But today it is almost TOO warm.  I know, I know…appreciate what you have but I just want a Spring, and I think we skipped it this year.  What we did this weekend…

Ry and I finally pulled out the bikes for good.  Saturday we did a rigorous ride in the foothills.  I still had to get off to walk sometimes b/c some places were so steep I just didn’t have enough skill to go up.  What really bigs me (and I think I have complained about this before) is that Ry has so much more endurance than me riding bikes.  He can go forever and barely huff and puff and every time I go is the closest I come to vomiting due to exertion.  But it is a nice challenge and you forget about how hard it is when you go down the hill.  Then yesterday, we took a very relaxing ride to a neighborhood near our house.  This is a really nice area that we would love to live in if we were planning on staying here.  We rode around and looked for houses for sale.  Its just a hobby.  It was so nice to be outside appreciating the great weather.

Other good news…

I think we found someone to take my job!! Yay!!!!  Its just good to know…

I am attending orientation tomorrow for school and will be able to enroll in class!

I wanted to explain why I was even half interested in the answers to the questions about Twilight yesterday…my sil put a comment on my post and I thought that it does seem like a weird thing to wonder. I have been reading several speculations about what the last book will entail. One very popular theory is that Bella will get pregnant after the wedding and that will be what keeps her from being changed to a vampire. But I was happy to find out the official answer even though I thought it made sense!

After my post yesterday my sis brought up a concern that Twilight the movie would be rated R. So I did some research and got some good news. This is from the IMBD website for the movie.

1.  Music replacing the ring tone when you call someone.  This doesn’t normally really bother me because one of all my friends actually uses this…but I don’t like that much either.  It has especially come to my intention while I have been calling people to schedule interviews with candidates to take my job.  Its not so bad if its like one girl’s and Dave Matthews Band is serenading you after the operator says “please enjoy the music.”   Do I have a choice?!  No, it would be better if I did.  But it is especially annoying if it is some gangsta rap describing private and inappropriate behaviors or if it is just frankly a really annoying stupid song.  And I can’t help thinking that it is really immature and unprofessional.

2.  Rude OLD ladies!!  I volunteer at the hospital Mondays and Fridays.  I love Fridays; I look forward to see the kind old women that I work and chat with in the office.  It adds more to my day to be able to serve and those around me lift me up.  Mondays on the other hand, are probably one of the most dreadful parts of my week.  The women are rude, unfriendly, bitter, and treat me like I do nothing.  Its been like that from the beginning.  Today I confused one of them by helping them and she chewed me out!  I know this is silly but I actually cried b/c my feelings were so hurt (I never take things like that well anyway) but I have also been more emotional lately for some reason.  Grrrr… I am emailing today to switch my day to Wednesday.

3.  Gross old men!  We have a patient who’s husband comes and waits for her in the office.  Imagine sitting quietly working and then a TUBA goes off in the room.  That is EXACTLY what his voice is like.  Very loud, obnoxious, and I even had to ask him to stop telling me crude jokes!  How awkward is that! His poor wife is so embarrassed.

I hope you do not think I am a terrible person for writing this.  I just had to express some of the stresses of my day.  But I can kind of laugh at some of these things too…except the old ladies at the hospital.

So, now that the Twilight movie is deep in production you can waste many minutes of your life on Utube seeing camera phone videos people took on set or weird random pics; there is just tons of stuff.  I was getting easily distracted from the work I should be doing.  Here is one video though that you cannot live without.  It is 5 minutes of chillbump bliss.  It is also from MTV or you can find it on Utube (thats how I got so distracted).  Click the pic for the video:

I think this weekend with the upcoming weather Ry and I will be going to the movies. Out of everything I want to see right now we are going with…

No matter what you have heard this movie it is about free speech; it just uses Creationism vs. Darwinism to make a point. We think it will be interesting. If you have nothing to do and if it might be snowing like here support the cause.

Last weekend Spring finally came to the Treasure Valley we just weren’t here to enjoy it.  Yesterday, it came back and it is almost hot.  It is so beautiful outside it really makes you want to be out there.  But take a look at tomorrow…

Yes…chance of snow

High 47 low 27…

Today it is 70

*Sigh*

WARNING: You may not want to read this post if you are an office fan and was not able to watch the most recent episode.

First of all who won biggest loser?! ALI!! I was so happy! Not just because she is the first woman to win but also because I think she worked really hard. I heard some people bashing her on the radio this morning and talking about how great all the men were. WHAT?!?! They were jerks too. But even Ali herself was a little annoying and proud. I understand why though. You come from having no self-confidence to all of a sudden realizing the work you put in and the amazing results that come out of it! So, I think it is okay for everyone that loses many pounds (she lost 112!) to feel good about themselves and even have bragging rights for a short time.

My SIL reminded me that I haven’t reported on the recent Office episode. Can I just say Oh My Goodness! I totally thought that Jim was actually proposing to Pam. He DOES have a ring. Wow even just thinking about it gives my chillbumps! I am so retarded I know but it was such a good episode. I do get very excited while watching stuff that I really like and at one a couple of points I jumped up and screamed (like when Jim pulled out the ring) but this time even Ryan joined in. He was making fun of me mostly but it was still hilarious. But I did feel bad about the poor lady in the coffee shop. “This was like talking to the old lady on the bus.” What a despicable man.

I am pumped for tonight’s finale of the Biggest Loser.  I just have NO idea who is going to win this one.  But I am hoping for Ali to be the first woman to win.  I just feel like the men have an unfair disadvantage.  Nonetheless, I really liked this show (especially since TIVO allows for forwarding through crying and there was plenty of that! YIKES!)  because it really changes these people’s lives.  I have seen this with my own eyes and seen people change themselves for the better.  It is a hard road but anyone can do it.  And it is never over when the weight is gone.  I am constantly struggling and very often give into my bad habits.  But when that happens, I take a step back and take a few days to show myself that I still have self-control.  This can turn into a bad habit I know, but only I can understand my own confidence to overcome these things.  I will post pictures soon of my change.

On a far less serious note…did everyone LOVE the new Office episode last week.  How awkward was that! But it was so great to have everyone back.  I love that show….

If you are a big Twilight fan you have already seen the MTV behind the scenes footage and if you haven’t click here.

Anyway I had NO IDEA that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie was coming out this year! How awesome is that?!?! Better yet, Twilight the movie comes out two weeks after that!!! Wow! Who do you think will win in the box office?

Harry Potter has a great chance b/c of all the kids that are probably not going to Twilight. BUT we all know what to expect and we have seen 5 already right?! Twilight, being the first movie and containing the psycho fan base, is going to be insane! But HP always does well no matter what. Who knows!??! But I will be there at midnight for both of them and I CANNOT wait!!
