1. If I could be anything in the world, I would be a private investigator. I like to solve problems (especially other people's). I'm not brave enough to do that, though. So I'll just stay with my current career and solve computer problems.



2. My bus driver looks like Tina Fey (or does she look like Sarah Palin?). Sounds like her, too. She's very peppy.


3. I can't walk in heels. Here's my solution: heel-less high heels! (Of course, only Victoria Beckham can get away with this.)


And Finally,

4. Micky, the Admissions Office mouse-cot, got caught on the second floor. His burial was yesterday in the second stall of the men's bathroom. I couldn't make it. But now my nightmares about mice should subside...




And that wraps up today's random post.


My 5:
1. My kitty to keep me company when I locked myself out of the house last night.
2. 4 day weekend!
3. Honey Nut Cheerios
4. That dreaded health coaches diet suggestion: I've lost 1.5 pounds in the last few days. Her suggestion: don't eat carbs for snacks, just at meals, and only 1.5 servings at meals.
5. Thanksgiving tomorrow! (I'm not going to follow the dreaded health coaches diet tomorrow...)

It Came!

I went....



I saw....



And I fell in love with a vampire all over again...

The Dreaded Call

The University of Utah has great insurance, there's no doubt about that. And, if you participate in a special program they offer, you get a discount. A HUGE, it's-worth-doing-the-program discount. Part of the program entails talking to a "Health Coach" every 6 weeks. The conversation begins with them asking about how I'm doing on my goals, them giving encouragement, and me setting new goals. They then schedule another appointment, and mail me a copy of my newly set goals.

I'm waiting for that phone call.

And I hate that phone call.

I do my best to schedule these appointments during a meeting, so I'm not there, but then they keep rescheduling it and rescheduling it and I figure to get them off my back I ought to just suck it up and talk to them.

So I'm waiting. And taking deep breathes and saying over and over in my mind, "I get a discount for this. This is how I pay for my insurance. This is okay. I can do this..."






They called.

"Them" : How are you today?
me: Fine and you?
"Them": Great! (They're always GREAT!)
"Them": blah blah blah blah blah How did you do on your goals this last month?
me: bad
"Them" : Don't beat yourself up blah blah blah blah. Just try harder blah blah blah
me: okay.
"Them" : Do you think you should work on your diet or exercise?
me: both
"Them" : let's work on your diet, then. Blah blah blah blah blah. Does this sound like something you can do?
me: yes.
"Them" : Great! (everything's always "Great" with them, remember?) Have great day!

Phew! It's over!

And I get a discount for my insurance........
