Winter Fun and the Biggest Loser!

As most of you know I work swing shift. Stupid me didn't wear a coat last night. I went out to my car and wouldn't you know the door was frozen shut. In fact all 4 of the doors were frozen shut! I pryed open the drivers door and then guess what? The stupid door would not shut. I have never in my life had this happen to me. So, I didn't know what to do. So, I walked back into work to ask my friend Pattie and Nichole what to do. Since Nichole is such a dear she came out and tried to help me fix it. It still didn't work. So, I drove 5 miles home holding my door closed having my heater on full blast. I got home and what would you know? The door would shut! I was a little ticked. Driving home with one hand was tricky especially when the streets were iced over! I can't wait for spring!

At work there are a bunch of people doing the biggest loser. And guess what? I am doing it! Everyone puts in 20 bucks and who ever loses the most wins the pot of cash, so guess what? I am going to win this competition! Okay, so I know that makes me sound like I am full of myself but I want to win! We have a health "unit" at work so the nurse will weigh us and in 3 months we will see who has lost the most weight! WOOHOO! This should be fun. My manager and I have been talking crap to one another. I told her she better watch it or she'll have chocolate put on her desk by anonymous people :). HAHA!

You can do it Kari! How much is in the pot right now? That's neat that your office has a nurse there.

I don't much like the cold either, but at least it's not negative something in Utah. Montana can get pretty chilly! Good luck with the biggest loser maybe I should join, how does it work?

Angie, I am totally gonna win! :). Right now 20 people signed up! So that's 400 bucks! I am going on vacation this summer so that'll be my spending money! Yeah there is a nurse at the IRS :).. EEK! I would never want to live in Montana too cold! I am really not sure how the biggest loser works :). Just that whoever loses the most wins :)!

Ashley,
I was working out with one of my best friends and then her husband got laid off work and then she stopped going. I am starting to work out with another friend this next week. I joined lady fitness in Pleasant View! I LOVE IT! Running stairs would defintely be a good workout! Are you guys waiting until it warms up a little?
