Here's what's happening and what I'm thinking.

Yup folks it's that time again. Overpriced textbooks, late night study sessions, and the end of a summer that provided some relief from an otherwise hectic routine. To add to the fun, we are moving out the 31st and heading just up the road to our new apartment.

So like everyone else, we've been glued to the tv till the wee hours watching the olympics. After the girls gymnastics finished I realized something, China must think we're stupid. There is no way half of those girls are over the age of 14... tops, and for them to say "we have provided all of the proper government documents with the girls ages so there should be no questions" is just crazy. Well jeeze that makes me feel better, the Chinease govt. has given us their word that they are all of age. It's not like they would fake the documents in an attempt to win their prized gold medal, I mean, that would be like telling a little girl that she couldn't appear on tv during the opening ceremony because she wasn't pretty enough... oh wait. What really makes me laugh is that they've uncovered government sponsored, Chinease newspapers from a year ago that reported that these same athletes were 12-13 yrs old, ooops! They should be stripped of their medals for cheating.

On a completley different note, Hippies really piss me off! Hey hippie, get a job. I swear if I get one more hippie that asks me for money when I go downtown I'm going to flip. Make no mistake, they aren't homeless, nor do they claim to be, they are 20ish yr old hippies who just randomly ask you for money to buy cheeseburgers, and hemp based products and such. Then they get mad when you say no. Get a job Hippie!!! "No I can't do that because then I'l be contributing to the rise of evil, profit seeking coorporations"(an actual quote from a SLC hippie)

So Lisa has an admirer/stocker at work. He's some creepy hispanic guy who keeps bothering her. One night he kept asking her for a ride home over and over again. After she kept saying no he got in his OWN car and left. She talked to some managers and its suppose to be taken care of, otherwise I may need to take a trip to the OG and have a heart to heart with my hermano.

So in conclusion, school, moving, China cheats, hippies suck, and Lisa's creepy admirer.

Hey All

I'm on break at work so I'll make a quick entry. Last weekend Jay, Heather, and the Kids came up from New Mexico and so did Corey and Heidi from Boise with their kids. We went and ate at a Pupusaria and it was phenominal. Jay was having some serious flashbacks from the mission with all the fried Platanos and Cashew fruit. Michael likes the Hot stuff and took it like a champ.

As you can see, Mom got her new Kitchen with new cabinets, countertops, lights, paint, sliding door, table and chairs, stainless steel appliances and hard wood flooring thru out the kithchen and hallways. It looks very nice and is a much needed update. Of course, what started out as a small project snowballed into a huge renovation but the end now seems to be in sight. They completley re-stuccoed the outside of the house and got new windows put in, the kitchen is pretty much done and now just have to put in new carpet in the living room and buy some new couches and build a new porch outside. They pretty much have a brand new upstairs and outside. Dad of course has a master plan of splurging on this so down the road he can splurge on his cabin. He's always thinking two steps ahead that one.

We ended the visit by going up to Birch Creek to play 9 holes Monday morning. We were playing a two man scramble with Dad and Corey on one team and Jay and I on the other. Jay's turned into a pretty decent golfer and we played probably 70% of his shots but I came on strong in the end. At least I had the biggest long ball off the tees for the day. Needless to say we demolished our competition and finished just 2 strokes or so over Par.

Well breaks over so I got to get back to it (it actually ended 10 Min ago).
