Bad News Tennis Shoes

My hubby is very very sick :( He has had a fever in the 100s for two days now. I feel so helpless to help him. We're keeping him doped up on ibuprofen for now to keep the fever down and DayQuil for the cough and stuff (but not at the same time). He has to take a big test today too :( But in other news, remember when i made that list about reasons i love him?? Here's another. I love Brennen because he hides things from me and then gives me very obvious clues and I still can't find it.

Since then.

Ok. So maybe that was a little harsh..but i was really upset, and for good reason too, right?

Well, it's been a week and still no word. I'm wearing this ugly thing on my finger until I hear word, then it's going in the trash and i'm headed straight to idaho falls.

Just waiting for Brennen to be done with the tutor.. then it's lunch,

maybe a nap,

one more class,

and he's all mine for the weekend :)

Sometimes i just wonder...

WHAT IN THE WORLD PEOPLE ARE THINKING!!! OK. Here's the story.

[Brennen looks at Grace's hand. He notices something strange.]

Brennen: Look. Another diamond fell out of your ring.

Grace (almost in tears): WHAT!? UGH! I've had it with this!!

Brennen: It's a good thing we got that warranty.

[The warranty that Brennen is talking about is a lifetime warranty they bought for the ring. Basically it covers just about everything, including missing diamonds.]

Grace: THIS IS THE FIFTH DIAMOND IN A YEAR!! THIS IS RIDICULOUS!

Brennen (trying to calm her): It's ok..it's ok...

TWO WEEKS LATER

Salesperson at Samuels: What can I do for you?

[Grace says nothing, just hands him the ring]

Salesperson [in baby talk]: Is your warranty up today?

Grace [looks at him incredulously]: It shouldn't be. It's a lifetime warranty.

Salesperson: Oh....

[Salesperson takes ring over to alcove and doesn't return for 3 or 4 minutes]

Salesperson: You know there's a diamond missing?

Grace [starting to get angry]: OHMIGOSH! WHAT?!? Yes, this is the fifth one in a year.

Salesperson: Oh... (really?? can't you put a coherent thought together???)

Grace [Trying to keep her cool]: Ya, I think they're coming out at work. I guess i'll just have to find something else to wear to work.

Salesperson [while filling out paperwork]: Oh....where do you work?

Grace: Jamba Juice.

Salesperson: Oh.....(REALLY??) Well this is going to take two weeks to repair because we have to send it to our jeweler in Texas.

Grace: WTF?!?! What do you mean you have to send it to Texas? Really? Because usually it's done in two days. [Grace is probably bright red]

Salesperson: Well it should be done in two weeks.

Grace: Whatever. I just want it fixed.

Salesperson: You know, people who work in the food industry usually just wear their band to work.

Grace: No, REALLY?? Tell me something I don't know. Yep, well, looks like that's what i'm going to be doing from now on.

Salesperson: Did you want to look at some bands now to wear in the meantime?

OK. Stop right there. REALLY?? You sell me, no, MY HUSBAND, a piece of crap ring and now you want me to BUY ANOTHER because the one I have is falling apart??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?????? I wanted to reach over the counter and smack the guy. Or just ask him "How 'bout you just fix my ring so it never falls apart again." One word to describe this guy. AUDACITY.

Boring Bla blaness

So i was thinking today...OHMYGOSH!! It's been forever since I've made a blog post..but turns out its only been a week.. bla. So. Here's what you missed last week. Saturday Brennen and I hung around the house and cleaned. Sunday we got called to be Gospel Doctrine teachers. Monday we went to school and worked. Tuesday we went to school and did homework. I got sick. Blech. I made tator-tot casserole. For my Hubby. While i was sick. It wasn't a disaster. He didn't get sick. :) Wednesday we did homework and worked some more. Had our first bowling game--match--meet?? with Kevin & Audrey and Dexter and Rustelle. Worked. Thrusday. CRAZY business with school and homework. Worked out HECKA hard. Today. School. Cinnamon Roll Friday (new tradition we're implementing). Waiting for Brennen to get done with his test. I forgot my headphones at home so i cant watch Bones :( Maybe I will anyways. I like Bones. :)
