Football Picks

Spoon and I have a tradition of picking all the NFL games each week.  Last year she won 131-77 to 127-81. I am winning so far this year  75-41 to 71-45.  Spoon's mom has a pool at work and she asks us for advice.  With our help she won last week so she mailed us a gift card to Chilies!!! Here are our picks this week for those who are interested.   
                                         

I'm dressing up as a blogger for Halloween, and actually blogging

As you can all tell, we are terrible bloggers.  Well we are good at it, but we just never do it. For Old Hallows Eve Spoon was a very cute tiny little miniature Snow White, and I was a Mexican.  We went to Nate and Jill's house to hang and and at night we went to a party.  

About a week earlier we carved some awesome  Jack-o-lanterns, mine is the mummy, and the witch is the handy work of Spoon. They are real even though they don't look like Jack-o-lanterns. I know the witch looks like the better of the two but mine is truly cooler. 

Last week!!!!...TMI....

Last week I had a couple of days off and so did phish! It was awesome! On thursday we went to a party with some of phish's work peeps and played this washer game. To my enjoyment and Phish's disappointment I was better at that game then him, the only other game I am better at then him is Mario Kart! (TMI!!!!) Friday Phish and I had a very long day together which is rare so I was happy! We went to BK, then we saw Year One, OMG!!!! That movie was awful do not go see it! The only funny parts were what they show you on the previews and it had weird stuff going on, so stay away from that movie. :) That night I made dinner and then we went to target, we had fun shopping! Phish said that I have converted him to Target because of the target brand lucky charms he got for less than two bucks that taste exactly the same as the real four dollar lucky charms! Pretty sweet! So yeah that is what's new with us, nothing too funny since we do not have babies our blog is just about us and our very exciting life in sunny, warm, Utah ( I am rolling my eyes as I am typing this)! I post on this thing very less often then I should! hahaha (inside joke). (TMI) Next post to look forward to is July 4th in Idaho, where Phish's dad and Gweenie live! Peace out til then blog followers! :)

Crazy Table

As you all know I work at Applebee's and after you serve 2 years worth of tables you're bound to get some weirdies in there.  So from time to time, when I have time, and when I deem it appropriate I shall share some of my experiences here, via blog.  No pictures this time, but the story should be able to hold ones attention.  Not to mention I didn't want to ask for a picture with them after what happened.

So I approach these two "asian" women at my table and get their drink order, they had a 1 year old baby girl with them. As I am leaving one of the ladies said "can we have 5 spoons"  I'm thinking... there are 2 of you and a baby...why would you ever need 5 spoons. So i give  a weird but playful friendly look and she says, the baby likes to play with them. I agree to get the 5 spoons.  I'm thinking a baby can play with one spoon... the baby's not gonna get all mad like, where are my other 4 spoons?  So i get the "5 spoons" for them.  I deliver the food and the lady wants a bunch of stuff (pretty standard)  and at the end of the list of things she needs she throws on, "and 5 more spoons" And I laughed out loud at her.  Then I asked "what did you do with the other 5?"  which may not have been the best move.  The lady now all offended and hurt, "she dropped them on the floor so she needs more" I gave an annoyed smile and walked away. I couldn't believe it.  I asked all the other servers if I was the crazy one or was it not weird that a lady wanted 5 spoons, twice.  So many things i wanted to say like, if the baby dropped all 5 spoons, then clearly she doesn't want to play with them.  Or, if I have provided 5 toys for your baby, can't you make sure all 5 don't hit the floor.  Like when she drops the first 4 make sure she holds on to the last one or she's out of luck. Also why 5 each time? Why not use the word "some".  Can i have some spoons or a few more spoons?  How about just one spoon? And how about even bringing a toy or a favorite spoon from home? I dropped off all the things she requested except the spoons and started to walk away and she said..."the spoons, now!" hahahahaha (i got them 5 more spoons) 

She ends up talking to the Manager and I am removed as their server.  As she's talking to the manager I see her waving 1 (not 5) spoons in the baby's face and the baby starts twisting her head away from the spoon with an annoyed look on her face.  She was trying to prove to the manager that her baby liked spoons, her baby didn't.  Not to mention the baby was quiet and well behaved the whole time.  I can understand if the baby was bawling and they wanted to try to appease her. However both before she had spoons, and after the spoons  were contaminated by the ground and thus taken away the baby couldn't have cared less.  

The manager told me that she said I was racist against asians. hahahaha that's the last thing I thought she would say.  No matter the "race" of the person asking for 5 spoons twice I would have reacted the same way. Not to mention I put "asian" in quotes earlier because I thought they were "white".  I guess a better server would have just gotten the 5 spoons, twice, or three times or however many multiples of 5 spoons the lady wanted, but I just couldn't do it. And yes, I know she probably thought i was accusing her of stealing when i asked what she did with the first 5 but I felt it was a reasonable question. (actually I didn't find all 10 spoons when I cleaned the table) 

California!!!

We just got back from California and it was so good.  We left on Thursday night at about 8pm and drove all night. It was a very long drive. We arrived in Hemet at about 6am.  On friday we slept most the day away and when Spoons parents got off they took us to dinner.  

On Saturday Spoon's parents took us to  a "day" spa in Palm Springs where the rich folk live.  we each got a 25 minute massage, well Spoon got some extra time... weird.  I tried to ask the guy what I was supposed to wear to my massage and he said do what you gotta do.  Luckily I guessed right and kept my trunks on.  It felt pretty good and kinda hurt.  It was very relaxing.

Monday we hit up the beach in Carlsbad.  It was slightly overcast but still enjoyable.  I got in the waves and jumped and laughed like little kid while Spoon searched for seashells and "got a tan".  I wanted to try surfing but didn't think of it till it was too late.

On Tuesday we went to Hollywood to see the Stars.  We didn't see any except for the ones on the sidewalk.   We also went to a wax museum, some of the celebrities looked real. We drove through Beverly Hills and saw where some famous people lived.  LA is kinda dirty but there were some huge homes. 

 

Having fun in Hollywood

Captain Jwax Sparrow

I woke up one morning with a swollen upper lip and my tooth hurt like crazy.  Last year when we were in Hemet I had a tooth crack and it had to be pulled. This year I when to the same dentist (a friend of Spoon's in Hemet) And he did some work.  We looked at the receipt and it sad my last two visits.  MAy-13-2009 and May 13-2008!  We already scheduled an appointment for May-13-2010. :) 

We then spent a few days with Spoon's dad and Grannie.  We played games with them and went swimming a few times.

We said goodbye to everyone on Saturday and drove all night.  We were spoiled and pampered as royalty would be :)  It was a lot of fun.  

Don't mess with my girl

The past week

I only had to work 2 and half days this week! It was so nice! Monday we went to the Jazz/Clipper's game and the Jazz won!!!!! Woot....Woot!Roger had a final saturday, and this monday he will be done with winter semester and he will officially only have 1 semester left of college!!!!! I had a lot of time to play with Whitney, Aubrye, and Jenna! It was so fun seeing Whitney and Allen's baby Riley! Thursday we got to see the babies!Friday Phish and I saw He's just not that into you, and on saturday I made lunch for phish, took a nap, and saw 17 again with Whitney ! Such a fun weekend so far! But whether it continues to be great is all up to the Jazz tomorrow! The playoff's are here and we are super excited!!!!!!! :)

Spoon's posts will be in brown and I will be some other color.  Although we do a lot together she is at work all day long and when she gets off I usually am just leaving for work. So we have a lot of time apart as well. Just finished my last final this morning. No more school till September.  Wake me up when September starts...Such an awesome sunny day for a change.  Zea and I played tennis at UVU.  I beat her... Gotta go beat Nate at basketball for our weekly game. I am very excited for summer and have a lot on my platter.  First on the docket is a duel with a coworker of mine.  I am going to go sword fight him in a park.  Should be funny and painful.  That is on April 30th.  There will be a video post of the duel soon there after. Applebee's has an acoustic night and later this week I will be playing a couple of songs. I have a lot of other important goals but maybe I should wait till I do this stuff and then write about it... yea, I'm gonna do that. 

Eye patch

I am going to work. Nate poked me in the eye on Monday and I have to wear an eye patch. I am 3classes away from graduating. I am hungry. You should all follow this blog as we are following yours. We are going to try to do even cooler things now cuz we have a blog that people can read.

Phish and Spoon have been together for 1 year! We met at Applebees where Phish works. Phish asked for my number before my friend and I had left. I never expected him to call, but the next day he did. We went out the next week and we have been together ever since. We have had so much fun together! We have been to about ten different states in the Western United States. We love watching NBA and NFL games! We are both huge fans of the Utah Jazz! This is our first blog we have ever had so I am sure a lot of things will be changing cuz we are not sure how to do this? :)

How Phish and Spoon got their nicknames:

Spoon:
One night we were playing games with our friends and someone had said that I looked like Reese Witherspoon. So then he shortened her last name and Spoon has stuck ever since.

Phish:
A few weeks after he had made up my nickname he was asking me why I had not made up a nick name for him. So I said your nickname is Phish, he asked why and I told him because it was the last part of selfish, hahaha.
