CLAS Ropes Course 10/22/07




Our friend Jake Jensen works at CLAS Ropes course. A group of us went last night to use the equipment. They have a ton of stuff to do there. 1st we did the climbing wall. All of us made it to the very top. It was really tall, and there were a couple hard spots. There was one part where I had to jump to reach the next grip! Then we did the zip-line. That was probably my favorite part. You climb to the top of this tower connect to the zip-line and then jump! Jumping was the scariest part. The line went forever! It was way cool. Then the last activity we did was the giant swing. You sit in this swing and they pull you way up high and then you let go of this cord and you just go swinging backwards. It was dark when I went to, so that made it even more intense. You can flip while you swing if you want to....I'm kind of a weenie, but Jared did flips. It was impressive = )

Gold's Gym Guy

So I go to Gold's Gym to work out in the morning before work. I see a lot of the same people everyday. Anywho, I like to get in and get out. It's early I don't have any makeup on, so I hardly even talk to the people that I see that I know....let alone strangers. With that said:

This one guy (shorter, mid-forties I'd say, Trump-like hair) started coming a couple months ago--at least that's when I first noticed him (I'm kinda in a zone and don't really pay too much attention to everyone else). Every time I've noticed him he's looking at me. I've started avoiding him, but he's still found ways to come talk to me. He asked my name, where I work, etc. Anywho, I found ways to throw in stuff about my husband. When I mentioned what Jared does for work he said "Oh, I need to call him some time. I have some questions about pruning my pyrocantha" or something like that. Whatever. I didn't think too much about it until he mentioned calling Jared on two other occasions. I'd just blow it off and think "I'm not going to give you the number!" So Jared calls me up the other day and said that some guy from the gym called him on his cell about pruning!!! No, I didn't give him the number!

How weird is that? I'm starting a poll (see upper left-hand side of my main blog page) so you can tell me if I'm just getting weirded out for no good reason. He does talk to some other people there. Maybe he's just a talker. But that's still weird that he remembered enough of Jared's information to actually find his number on his own and then call with out asking if it was OK. Talker or Stalker....you decide.

New Job

So a week ago today I moved from doing Accounts Payable (from the reception desk) to the Purchasing Department! I'm really excited. I'm in an office now (I share it, but it's still an office!) I've worked here for over 2 years now. It's a great company to work for.

I got a new car!


So after years of passively searching, I got a new car! It's a silver Nissan Altima. I love it. If you know anyone that wants to buy an old beat up Cadillac, send them my way! = )

NBAA September 2007

I went back to Atlanta Georgia for the NBAA trade show. I worked the booth and answered questions on the two planes my company will be building. The planes are made almost entirely out of composites, so they're extremely light and fuel efficient. It was a lot of fun, minus the being away from Jared for 4 days.
