Looking at the bright side of reality.

This one is for you Chelle....(my trips to NYC and SFO)
So last week, I got the opportunity to go to NYC and San Francisco within one week. I have never done the coast to coast thing, but it was so much fun. Other than I had the worse luck with flying.
So REV'IT the motorcycle clothing company flew the Parts Manager Chad and I out to New York City. We flew out Tuesday morning, and as we were sitting in our seats, they announced that everyone has to de-board the plane cause Denver has grounded all flights due to weather. Chad and I were ok with that, cause we had a 4 hour layover. So that means that we have a 3 hour layover rather than a 4 hour. So an hour later we boarded our flight and it was the most bumpy flight I have ever been on. Even the flight attendant was really nervous when she made the announcement "the pilot has informed me to inform you that it is going to be this bumpy until we hit the ground (paused...everyone is laughing on the plane)...and I mean until we land." Then when we did land in Denver that flight attendant was M.I.A. ha ha they must have pulled her off to the side and gave her a little talk. So after we took off in Denver and on our way to NYC, we ended up having to do a hold on the plane (which means make circles till we have the clearance to land). So we were holding for about 30 mins and when we landed the airport was crazy busy. Even our driver (we had a car service) said he hadn't seen the airport as busy as it was that night. Good thing we only did carry on's and didn't check any bags.
So after we landed in NYC, the only thing I wanted to do that night was go get a famous NYC piece of pizza. So we did that, and not only did we do that, I found out that the place where we got pizza at was right next to the Empire State Building!!! So that was really cool.
The next day we spent the whole day at REV'IT, and in case you didn't see it on Facebook their office is in a great place. You can see the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Statan Island, Manhattan, and Brooklyn. It was amazing view. So we spent the day learning about new motorcycle gear. Then later that night they took us to dinner and a great little bakery. You know how I love my baked items. :) I was going to go to Times Square but I got too tired and just wanted to go to bed. But they did make we take the Subway, and that was pretty cool. ha ha
The next day was the flight home. They delayed our flight out, which means when we landed in Arionza, we were running to make our flight to Salt Lake. It was crazy, we got there just in the nick of time.
Then I was home just enough to go to work on Friday and Saturday. But on Saturday I left work an hour early to go get on a plane to San Fran.
My flight to San Fran. lucky enough had no problems other than it landed early but that was no problem really. It just means I had to wait a little bit longer for Mikey to come and pick me up.
Once Evan and him picked me, we went to our hotel which was the Ritz Carlton (fancy dancy). Then we meet up with some more people and went out to a great Thai resturant. Then after that, Evan, Mike, and I went back to the hotel to get ready for the Halloween party that we planned to go to. Mike and I dressed up as Zombies cause it was easy and we didn't have to worry about much to the costume. Evan dressed up as a doctor, cause that is what he is...so he didn't really have to dress up much either. It was nice for all of us.
Then we headed to the club, and danced our butts off till I believe 5 in the morning!! It was so much fun. I can not even tell you the words as to how much fun it was, but it for sure had to be the best time I have ever had in my life (up to date). Mikey really knows how to pick a great place to go dance :) Then after we left the club, we went back to the hotel room and chilled out till about 6:30 in the morning. Then we went to bed and didn't wake up till about 3:00 in the afternoon. Then Evan, Brooklyn, Michael, and I went to breakfast. I had the best pancakes I have ever had. mmmmm. Then Brooklyn, Michael, and I all went swimming. Then the 3 of us went out to dinner for some authentic Itailian. It was so good as well. Afterwards, we just went to bed, cause we had an early morning flight. So at 3:30 am Michael and I woke up and went to the airport only to find out that our flight was canceled after we boarded the plane. So Mikey being the VIP of Delta that he is, called and got us directly on the next flight out of San Fran. So other than our flight out the weekend was completely wonderfully amazing!!!
Ok so I better get back to work...but that the update on me. :) Now back to work.

This weekend....
Saturday...at work we are having a big open house for the new Triumph Sprint GT, which I am in charge of so I am going to be crazy busy tomorrow.
Sunday...I get to go watch people go run circles around Miller...not really just people either...I get to go watch Mikey around a track on a HOT Daytona 675. I will admit I am a little jealous that he is riding a fully prep race Daytona. Maybe one day he will let me ride his race bike around Miller. hint hint
Monday....which is part of my weekend cause I work Tuesday through Saturday...Monday I will be hanging out with my great friend Tiecen and her daughter. She is moving to Vegas within the next week...so I want to be able to hang out with her before she leaves.
So if you couldn't guess I am pretty excited for this weekend....well mainly Sunday and Monday...Saturday...not so much. :)

Updates
So my job has been black and white...some days are really busy and some days are slow, but overall it is really good. It is fun to work for a motorcycle dealership. It is fun when you get a customer that follows racing and then the salesman comes over and says..."you need to talk to her" So we end up talking about racers and racing that is going on. I say this cause this just happened. I think I really impressed him. ha ha
My new place is awesome. I love how close I am to work now....it is so nice that I get to sleep in an extra 15 or 20 mins. ha ha Altough it seems lately I have been waking up every morning at 6. No matter what time I go to bed I seem to be wide awake around 6...sucks. :( I am not getting my beauty rest...Mikey (that one is for you Warren) is not going to find me beautiful anymore if this keeps up. ha ha
Speaking of the devil....Mike invited me to do another ART class at Miller on the 26th of Sept...and it was so good to be out there again. It made me realize that I do want to hopefully start racing one day, but I want to be smart about it. I will take all the classes I can and learn everything that there is to be taught and once I feel comfortable, then think about put the money down for race bike. Mike is amazing though...he really knows how to make this girl happy...and inviting me to the ART classes is for sure one of those things that makes me happy.
Off the subject...I need a neck and back rub...any volunteers? ha ha

Update
My new place is going to be nice. I have a really nice size room, I will be sharing a bathroom...but that is fine..and most important I will have a place to park my motorcycle in the wintertime. It is nice when your roommates are also motorcycle people too, cause then you know that your bike will be just fine.
So I am so much looking forward to the weekend. The ART class that I took at Miller the first of Aug is happening again on Sunday, and who has two thumbs and will be going to be to it.....this girl. :) I love learning anything and everything their is know about motorcycle riding. I really want to learn more about riding on the track...in hopes one day I will be able to get the gutts and actually race. Maybe towards the end of next summer or something. Who knows. :) So I am looking forward to the weekend very much.

I am here I promise....
Things are getting better...of course there are some moments that aren't so good...but they are for sure getting better and better as the days go by. I am just doing my best to surround myself around the people that make me feel good about myself, and keep a positive outlook on life. I am not looking forward to moving. I love my house...it was a great house...but I am glad that Dallas and Tiffany are renting out for us so we are not having to pay for all of the mortgage. They are going to be helping us out so much. I appreciate them for doing it.
Did I tell you that I went on amazing motorcycle trip last weekend? I went with the Canyonchasers.net and it was so fun....no one crashed....no one got hurt. We hit every amazing twisted canyon to Wolf Creek down to Torrey down to Bryce Canyon. We even went through Escalante...which as you know that is where my dad and mom's side of the family is from. I haven't been back there in over 8 years. It was so great to be back....we rode right by the Henryville Cemetery and I blew a kiss to my Grandma and Grandpa. Well the trip was incredible, the food was amazing, and the company was even better. We rode 1100 miles in 3 days....correction 1100 twisting miles in 3 days.
Anywho.....I am off to bed....exhausted. Have a good night.

Weekend of Motorcycle racing...
Silva would like you to think he is loosing but then at the last min (or lap at this case) he comes in and distroys. So that makes me think Mike like to play the field a little bit...starts towards the back...then a couple of laps before the end..he starts to crawl up on the compettion. Then right at the last sec...BAM he takes out compettion...and at this point the compettion was Aaron....and at the last turn Mike got him!!! It was such a good race. We all just had a great laugh at it. Way to go Aaron for being able to retire the pink shirt and Mike for a great finish.

I would love to go see it again. :) If get the chance to go and see it, you should!! I think I loved it more than I love Wicked. Yes I said it...I liked it better than Wicked! ha ha So go and see it. :)

Where is the motivation...
Today is Casey's birthday as well. I felt bad for him cause I guess for the last 3 years his wife has been gone (business trip) for his birthday. So last night I didn't want him to be sad, when he came down to visit, so I made my homemade chocolate cake for his birthday cake. Then I delivered his piece a cake with a candle on it. I did sing happy birthday to him, but I did it so fast...no one wants to hear me sing...especially with a head cold. ha ha I think it made his day better. :)
Another note: my best friend Luke and his wife had there 2nd baby yesterday!! I am so happy for them. I would love to go over and visit them, but since I am sick I will just have to wait till I am healed. ha ha I don't want to get anyone sick.
Another note: I want to tell Taylor Anderson...I know what you are going through right now with Tyson being gone. It is very hard, but I promise you the time will go by faster than you think. You will be so busy with school that the next thing you know it...Tyson is home! :) If you ever need a hug or just to talk...you know you can always turn to your bigger sister. I will be there for you. :) Love ya Tay!

Ghosts of boyfriends pasts....
Then last night I went to the Modest Mouse concert (very good btw) and it was so funny...I was talking to my friend Casey and Sydra and I told them...."If I see my ex that I haven't seen in almost 7 years, I bet it will be tonight. He was the one that introduced to me to Modest Mouse" sure enough about 20 mins later I walk by a man that looks like my ex's little brother....I was like "Brett? is that you?" then he just looks at me weird and I hear a "oh hey, Lindsey!" and Clint was right next to him. I didn't even notice Clint was next to him. It was SO weird but good at the same time. It was good to hear his family was doing great and hear that he is doing good as well.
Talk about boyfriends from the passed coming back to haunt me. ha ha CRAZY. They say things come in 3's. So who will be the 3rd one to pop out of nowhere? ha ha

What you would call a great extended weekend....
Then Saturday the 3 of them (Casey, Sydra, and Aaron) came down and we went on a ride on my favorite ride, Fairview canyon. We did the canyon twice it was so much fun. You can say I really broke in my new tires. :) Everyone was impressed including myself. Then we came back to our house and I cook dinner for everyone. Then Ant pulled out his little pocket bike (he bought it in garage sale for $40 ha ha) then we moved all the cars off the driveway and made our own race track. It was so funny, we even had neighbors coming over to watch everyone ride this thing. It was so funny to see what kind of lap times they pulled. Aaron won, of course cause he is my height and weighs next to nothing, and then Ant came in 2nd, and Casey came in 3rd. They were all only a couple of secs off from each other...it was a close race. I didn't feel like riding it, I just wanted to record the action. ha ha Then after that, we watched a movie (Grandma's Boy) then we went to Betos and watched fireworks. They all ended up staying over. We had an absolute blast!
Sunday we got invited to go up to Jason and Brittney's house, then to go out to breakfast, go for a ride, then go back to their place for a bbq. We did all of that, and had a great time with everyone up there.
Monday (day off for the holiday) I went 4-wheeling with the Andersons and my parents came along. It was so beautiful where we went, I really enjoyed the ride. Ant stayed home, he wanted to work on the race bike. Then that night we went over to my parents, ate pizza and watched a movie.
So that is what I call a great extended weekend. :)

Sarcasm
Sarcasm is "a sharp, bitter, or cutting expression or remark; a bitter jibe or tuant."
I am not so sure about the bitter part but I love the "cutting expression...tuant" part. Now what part of that is not me? How can that not be my middle name? Do you think if I went to Social Security and told them to change my name to Lindsey Sarcasm Burrows, they would let me? I am sure they would as long as I paid them....besides a lot of people do anything for a buck this days. I clean my parents house just so I can have a little extra cash here and there.

Crazy week....
Every night this week there is something going on. Tonight is Bunco, tomorrow night is Brittsh Bike Club, Friday is my family reunion (that is going on all weekend long) Saturday I have bridal shower in Idaho, and Saturday night back to the reunion. But I am kind of glad I am busy this week. I have a lot on my mind, and it helps to have these things going so that I can clear my mind of those things that are non stop in my head (hopefully that makes sense). Every night before I go to bed, I have to make sure I am completely exhausted...cause if I am not...then my mind starts thinking and I can't sleep.
Although last night I had a great night. My friend Casey (who I ride motorcycles with) invited me to go up and hang out with his wife and him after him and I went for a ride. So after our ride I went up and hung out. Aarron from the dealership stopped by, then his wife got home from picking up Erin (a girl from Colorado) from the airport, and then we all went out to the Fiddlers Elbow. It was so much fun just hanging out not having to worry about anything (other than I wanted Ant to be there to enjoy it with me but he had some stuff to do). It was cool ride on the way home...the sky had some lighting here and there and at one time the sky was purple when the lighting struck.

Good news to come....SBK weekend
(left to right) John Hopkins, Jason DiSalvo, Noriyuki Haga, and Roger Lee Hayden
James Toseland, Troy Corser, Leon Haslam, Melissa Paris, and her hubby Josh Hayes (as you recall I met Josh last month, so it was good to catch up with him again. He even remember Anthony and asked about how his racing went at Willow...see he really is a nice guy).
Max Biaggi (the big winner of the weekend), Jonathan Rea, and Chris "Teach" McNeil.
Also I got a free set of race tires from Melissa Paris' crew chief. Him and I were talking for a while and he asked me what I rode. When I told him the Daytona 675, he said I have some tires if you want them. Melissa only used the set a couple of laps and wanted to switch them out with a different tire. So I told him that I would take them...then he told me that when I start doing track days or decide to race he will help me tune up my bike. I was like really??? WOW thank you that would be awesome. I am going to have to send him a thank you card sometime soon.
I have so many stories about the weekend...I wish I could share them all but this is a long blog as it is. So maybe later next week when I am not so busy at work I will tell you some more.

How many motorcycles can you ride in one day....
The next morning I got up at 4:30 am cause we had to be at the dealership before 7:00 and I didn't want to be late...cause I didn't want toliet cleaning duty. LOL So we got there and I didn't have to clean toliets!! Wahoo..instead I got vaccuming duties. So after that Jeremy came up to me and said I am going to sweeper to all of the motorcycle demo rides. I WAS SO EXCITED!!! That could have been the best job ever! Every half hour we would start a new demo ride and whatever motorcycle was available I got to ride! So the whole day I spent riding motorcycles and getting paid for it! I got to ride the, Daytona (which isn't new cause you all already know that is what I own), Speed Triple, Street Triple, Thunderbird (which was a little intimdating but once I got the hang of power and torque, I had so much fun on it) Bonnieville SE, and the Scrambler. I have never rode that many miles (est. 175 miles) in one zip code before. ha ha It was so much fun riding all those different bikes. Only if everyday working at the motorcycle shop was that fun. ha ha Next Saturday...I am working for them but at the World Superbike Races. Come look for me at the BMW vendor tent.
Yesterday we just spent the day playing the Wii, and then we went to my parents and had a triple feature. It was a nice and relaxing day.
So overall it was a GREAT weekend. :)

I got tickets!!!!
If you have known me for a long time, you know that this is like a dream come true for me...cause you know how much I LOVE The Beatles. It might not be the whole package but at least it is one of them. :) I AM SO EXCITTED!!!!!! This is the only time Paul McCartney has ever played to Utah too...so I am pretty sure the tickets are going to sell out fast once it is opened to the public.
WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Cravings....
Yesterday on my blog I didn't go into details of my night cause, yesterday I went and picked up Anthony's Anniv. gift. I got him a big poster of the #1 photo from my photo shoot with Kay and my motorcycle. He loved that photo so much that I thought that would be a great gift....and it was! He loved it! I gave it to him last night...even though our Anniv. isn't till Saturday...we both work at the dealership that day, and don't see anytime between now and then that I could give it to him. We are both so completely busy. Speaking of busy...tonight I have Bunco at my house. :)
LUCKY! ha ha

Dark Chocolate....
So another crazy day today for me..I have so many things I need to do that I am not sure where to start....and what store I want to start at. Lucky for me last night I went to bed at 9:30 then woke up around 6:50..which is about 30 mins earlier than I normally get up....so I decided that I would start a batch of laundry this morning. Which is one less thing I have to worry about tonight. :) Although I have all this stuff I need to do, I am very excited to have Bunco at my house tomorrow night. :) mmmmmmm dark chocolate. LOL
Monday, May 17, 2010
Sorry I have been away....
The next couple of weeks are going to be crazy busy for me. Tonight I have to go to the store, buy food for Bunco, laundry, and head to my parents around 6:30 for cake and ice cream. We will be finishing the BEST chocolate cake that I have ever made. Something about this cake this time made it super good.
Anywho....I have got to go....I hope everyone had a great weekend.

Birthdays
This girl at my work...well when it is her birthday she will not shut up about it. She loves to tell everyone about it. Not just once but dozen of times...I think she is afraid that we are going to forget after the 5th time.
Then I have a friend that everytime when it is almost time for her birthday, she gets super angry and mad...it is like she doesn't want to be reminded of her birthday.
Then there is me...most of the time if I ever get a birthday party it is cause I planned it for myself...and let's be honest planning your own birthday party really sucks!!! So this year I am not planning a birthday party...so I am not having one. Anthony did send some texts out to some of our friends to see if they wanted to go for a motorcycle ride on Sunday (if you want to go let me know)...and I think that is about as good as it is going get this year. I am not to worried about it...I just want to have a mellow day and enjoy time with my hubby. I would include my parents in that last sentence but even they are not going to be home for it.
I hope you read this and don't think this is suppose to be a pitty party for me cause it is not...I just trying to say that this year it is going to be chill, and that is ok. :) Although I am thinking of making a chocolate cake for Sunday so if anyone would like to come over and have some...you are more than welcome too. I am sure we will be home from the ride around 4, so come around 5.

Our Trip to California....
I am going to make this short and sweet as possible....I promise... ;)
Well we left for CA on Wednesday night...stay in St. George (parents 2nd house)...then drove to CA on Thursday. We got there checked into our dodgy hotel (we didn't get shot while we were so it wasn't as bad as we thought) then went to the race track. We got to the race track...met up with Charlie, Dave Wells, and Scott Jennings (Scott is a race track legend...look it up if you don't believe me)....then we found out Ant had an oil leak so they were going to tear into the engine...while they did that I went to look around....only to find out Miller Motorsports was there and I wanted to see why they were all the way in CA when they are based out of UT. Found out that they were having a Yamaha racer school there and they were in charge of it....since they were doing that...they had a pro AMA Superbike Racer there by the name of Josh Hayes....so I naturally, not shy went over to introduce myself to world famous Josh Hayes....4-5 hours later we were still talking (when he wasn't making a couple of laps)...he was a great, super nice guy....not to mention his wife is a racer too...and that is really cool too.
Friday...Ant spent the day at racer school....I just helped out the men wherever they needed help...mainly grabbed them lunch when they wanted it too....Did I mention we also shared a garage with the ONLY American to win in the Isle Of Mann? Well we did...his name is Dave Roper (look that one up to while you are at it)..... then at the end of the day...they had a race for first time racers.....so naturally Ant was in the race and took 2nd overall....so that was great..
Sat...Ant practiced....then it was race time (a couple of hours later) so Ant did he warm up lap...then got to the starting line (grid)...and oh noooo Ant wasn't moving...what was wrong???? Got down to the garage (I was on the hill ready to film) and come to find out he was out of gas...he forgot to fill up. Well after everyone's comments of "you won't be doing that again...you will check the tank 5 times every time you go out on the race track now" (if I had a dollar every time I heard that on Sat, ha ha) But mainly it was a LOT of support from everyone. So that cheered Ant right up.
Sunday.....Practice and after a couple of times of checking the gas tank...Ant got to race!!! Overall he took 2nd place in his race and he dropped 14 seconds off of his lap time since Friday...So he walked out of Willow Springs a happy man.
Monday...we went to 6 Flags...and there was NO ONE there... I think the longest we waited in line was 10 mins tops...but most of the rides we just walked right on...it was fun. Then that night we drove down to Long Beach and stay with Charlie.
Tuesday...we had a great breakfast at Charlie's place...Thank you Annette it was great...and then we got a personal invitation to see this guys motorcycle collection...it was amazing!!! He maybe had I am guessing about 5 million dollars worth of motorcycles...and the worse part about it is...there wasn't that many bikes....maybe 20-30 bikes....that just shows you how valuable this bikes were. It was great...then after that we drove back to St. George.....Then on Wednesday we just woke up and went home..
There you go...the short story of our trip....I promise a lot more happened that I could write about but I don't want to put you to sleep more than I have. :)
Guess who's back...back again.....

What a great weekend....
On Friday night:Tiecen and JD came down, then Alicia Valgardson Weeks came over and we had Pizza and chocolate cake. Then while we were eating my cousin Jennifer text me telling me that her and Kirk were going to make the drive down for some yummy chinesse food in Spanish Fork. So they stop in and hung out as well.
Saturday: I had two bridial showers to go to (the Jensen one was the best), then I had to book it up to the Motorcycle dealership to get my bike washed for my photo shoot. I had so much fun at photo shoot. Kay was awesome. I told her that I was nervous but then by the time they got my bike in and I got all dolled up I was no longer nervous. She made me feel so comfortable and it was so much fun. She is a great photographer. Once she gets the pictures posted on her website I will put the link up and you can go check them out. The ones I saw, turned out good! The whole time during the photo shoot she kept telling me how much she excited that they are turning out so fantasic...so I really want to see how they turned out.
Sunday: I woke up at 5:30a.m. (I stayed in bed till 6) and met a couple of the guys from the motorcycle shop up in Salt Lake at 7:45 to go eat some breakfast then go for a ride. Homer made us some homemade biskits and gravy with some sausage...and it was so good. Then a couple of them were on dual sport bikes, so once we got to the dirt road, Casey and I went for a ride. I took him down to Fairview then through Fairview canyon (one of my favorite places to ride) and then to Huntington and back. By the time day was over I covered enough milage that I could have gone to Vegas!! From my house to downtown Vegas it is 380 miles....yesterday I drove 375 miles!!! If you were to count ALL the miles I put on over the whole weekend it was 515 miles. It is a new record for me. WOOT WOOT.

Ok I wait till tomorrow to post this.....
Isn't that the most beautiful bike your eyes have ever laid on? I love it!!!!
More GREAT News....
Here is a little history of our friendship......
Her and I became good friends in Jr. high school (Intermediate school if you are from NZ). When we went to High School (College, again for NZ folks) we ended up at different schools and lost contact with each other. Then last year I had thought of a great memory that I had with her and I thought....I should see if I can find her on Facebook....I miss her. So I looked and BAM! There she was. We got talking and come to find out she just recently moved back to Utah from California. So for the next couple of months we practially spent every night hanging out and catching up. We became great friends again. :) Then I got the news that her hubby is going to go back to school and they have to move to Florida. That was the only school that offers the classes he wants to take. It was a great day for them, but very sad for me (I cried when she left). Then almost every week (execpt maybe 3) I have written her a letter and sent her some kind of activity to do in the letter...like word search or a coloring page for her little girl Olivia to color. I thought sending a letter would be so much more fun to get than a text message...besides who doesn't like getting letters?
So now you have a little bit more understanding why I am so excited to see her. I love her and she is such a great friend....I can't wait till next Tuesday now. We are even going to have a sleep over the weekend..like we did on New Years. I am such a little kid right now, cause I am filled with so much excitement. I LOVE YOU TIE...and I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU!!

WOW...old friends......
Shea, you really should update your blog....I think it hasn't been updated since last fall...when Jamie got married I think. ha ha Oh and Shea....I have to tell you the other day I was looking through my DVD collection and I found my copy of The Last Unicorn....I started to laugh because I forgot I bought it....and it reminded me of how we watched that and Beetlejuice (which I own as well) all the time when were kids.
While I am thinking of old friends and friends that I have been friends with for a while I want to take the time and.....THANK YOU....Thank you to all of you that have been friends with me through out the years...and thank you for being with me through thick and thin, through the good and the bad. I LOVE YOU.....I love you for supporting me through all of the good and bad choices I made in my life. I just hope I do the same thing for you and if not I hope you give me the chance to show you my support.
THANK YOU and I LOVE YOU for being who you are.....great friends.

Daylight savings this week...
- The most important reason is....it gets warmer earlier in the day which means I can start riding the motorcycle to work. :) WAHOOOOOOOOOO
- It is the first sign that spring is just around the corner.
- Did I mention that I get to start riding my motorcycle to work? YES...I am that excited. :)
- More daylight when I get off work, which means more time that I get to ride my motorcycle. I am telling you....it is my new passion...I seriously can go 400 miles and still want to keep going. I love it sooo much.
- It also means it is getting closer to mtn. bike season...When I am not going to be riding my motorcycle...I will be riding my other favorite thing....my mountain bike.
So there you go...something to look forward to this weekend...in case you didn't have anything to look forward too. :)

Nicknames....
When I was in High School, I dated a kid named Scott H. and Jake A. (they were friends..don't ask hahaha). Scott was the one that gave me my nickname that has stuck with me pretty much since then...Dookus and Jake gave me The Duke. So anytime I hear someone call me by those nicknames or if you have ever called me by Dookus or The Duke....that tells you right there how long you have known me for.
But that wasn't the last of my nicknames....my all time favorite nickname was and is......DRUMROLL PLEASE...............Willis....Yep, simple Willis. My best friend Luke started calling me that years ago (I have known him for almost 12 years now) and ever since then, that little group of friends of ours (we don't see much of each other anymore, but when we do it is like we have never been separated) started to call me Willis too. I love it.
Now that you are update let me tell you why I thought of putting this on my blog...
So lately I have been going to the gym and doing Zumba at least twice a week and I have been feeling really good. So one of the owners of the company I work for...Jeff....the other day started to call me Washboard. I was like...why are you calling me Washboard...he told me "cause you are looking very fit lately and before you know you are going to have washboard abs" I just laughed and said "wishful thinking" If you know my boss Jeff...he doesn't ever give out complements unless he really means it...so that really that was really nice of him to say that. So ever since then, he calls me Washboard.
Now that I let the cat out of the bag about my nicknames....do you have any I don't know about?
