If the gym is my boyfriend where are my benefits...

It seems to me that boyfriends are time consuming. People spend ALL their time with that significant other. Eventually youll see one alone and youll have to do a double take and ask where the other one is, almost like conjoined twins that you dont expect to see seperate, its weird. Lately ALL my time has been consumed by the gym, therefore he is my boyfriend. This past week whenever i could fit it in, I would do two a days. One day I got a text from my room mate Annalisa asking if the gym and i were dating. ;) and i said it sure seems like it...although i am getting very little benefits from this whole arrangement. Wheres my hand holding? Wheres my cuddling? Wheres the fun? Now i love going to the gym, but i definitely wouldnt say its fun. Some things need to change here mister. Why do i go all the time then you ask? I'm addicted...i guess its good that i'm addicted to the gym instead of drugs though, lets look at the positives here ok.

Boring but necessary

In the past few weeks we threw a crepe party which was fun! and lotsa people came

my roomies and i had a red robin date. did i mention i LOVE red robin? :)

my FHE group went bowling! Actually my apartment planned it and it was way fun.

We had a soccer game on thursday and i scored the winning goal! I was playing defense and someone passed the ball back and i kicked it and it sailed right over the goalies fingertips and right under the bar. It was pretty beautiful. In some terrible news however though we had our first playoff game this morning and we ended up having to forfeit because we needed 5 players and only had 4. Did i mention it was single elimination and now our seasons over when we could have won the whole thing? yeah cool. I also got to get up at 8 just to find out we had to forfeit. In all fairness though half of our team is in Colorado because they are on the BYU Rugby team and couldnt make it to the game. Better luck next season right?

I dont know why the date on this picture says 2007...its definitely 2011 but okay. Isnt our team pretty attractive? I kinda have a crush on someone, take a guess!

I also got off work on Thursday so i could go see my friend Anthonys play Hairspray. I love plays and musicals and things of that nature so it was amazing and we had the best seats in the whole place. It was legit. The place was packed and the show was sooo good. I love Hairspray. The music was amazing, the dancing and the cast all made the show great. I recommend everyone go see it before it ends!

Next week we have the Festival of colors and a really fun ward activity, so expect to be filled in!



Random thoughts...

i think spandex should be the new girls best friend. Thank you to the creator of spandex for making an invention where girls look hotter. I live in spandex...sorry for those who hate them and think they shouldnt be worn as pants but i disagree. I wear them all the time. Also girls, boys seem to like them...just saying.


when youre sick you waste so much toothpaste...mainly throwing up. Gross i know but when i was sick last sunday i seriously went through far too much toothpaste and im annoyed...


how come when you walk by the body shop everything smells SO good, like amazingly good but when you walk in everything by its self doesnt smell that great? false advertising say yeahh


i bet boys hate forever 21.
"just a sec hon..."
shes so lying. theres no way you could spend just a second in that store, its huge. I saw a lady dragging her hubby around and he looked absolutely miserable. I wish boys liked shopping because then you could have a  guy to walk around with you and tell you what looks good or not.


who knew tin foil didnt go in the microwave? definitely not me since i almost burnt down the apartment...


I feel like boys dont date down but girls always date down. Girls can overlook the appearance if a guy has an amazing personality but a guy really cant which is why you see hot girls with not so hot guys and hot guys with...well hot girls. hmmm

i would like to publically thank the gym for making me hotter because i have been asked on lotsa dates, had a carful of creeper guys follow me and today someone yelled out their car window hey hot girl! oh wait maybe its the spandex again...nevermind.
just had some things on my mind & wanted to share them :)

I'm a beast

Last night we spontaneously hiked the Y and it was so amazing.

11PM: Annalisa and Enowah ask if I wanna hike the Y. I say no.
11:05PM: Millie asks if i wanna hike the Y. I say no.
11:07PM: I stand up and say fine, ill hike the Y

Trevin Enowah Millie Annalisa and I hike the Y.

We pile into Trevins big truck and head up the mountain, the whole while i go on about how its dangerous that we dont have flashlights and did they know mountain lions live up there? I was sure we were gonna get eaten.

The hike wasnt rough at all. Trevin and I would race eachother up until the next landing and then wait for the others to join. The weather was perfect and the view of all of provo was beautiful. Trevin took a huge bag that weighed 45 lbs or so and carried it the whole way. (hes training for some job he wants)

I tell Trevin we should switch bags. We do.
I tell Trevin its a piece of cake. I lie.
Trevin says I'm a beast but really I'm just stubborn and competitive.




 

Vera Bradley suits you well Trevin.

Then Enowah would love to go running off the trail and through the bushes so it sounded like a mountain lion and i would freak out and then trevin would have to tell him to stop because i would say GUYS! stop listen whats that? then you would hear enowahs lovely laugh.

                              After coming out of the bushes after he scared me he got stuck and i was secretly pleased :)

After some hardcore bonding, lotsa picture taking and some throwing up of my macaroni on trevins part we get to the top. Trevin and I took off running and got to the top with just us. For 10 to 15 minutes it was just him and I. I was surprised at how bumpy and steep the Y actually was. Trevin climbed on with no problem and i freaked out and took forever to get on. As i freaked out and told Trevin i was prob gonna fall and die he told me where to put my hands and feet and patiently waited as i closed my eyes and told me it was gonna be okay and even gave up his spot because it was more comfortable and safer. Then we sat and talked and took in the view and i loved it!

Enowah asked if we were making out as they joined us. But we werent

Although I did ask him partially because it was romantic and he was so nice to me with the mountain lions and falling thing. Only jokingly of course since he threw up and all....

proof that we made it!

the amazing view



I dont think ill ever look at the Y the same again. I cant wait to hike it again and im glad i got to do it now with such awesome friends!

this post struggles a bit but oh well

adorable

I saw the cutest old couple working out.

The same old couple comes into my work later that day holding hands.

I ask them if they go to Golds Gym and they smile and say yes.

I told them I saw them working out earlier.

He then tells me they are both 91 and they work out monday wednesday and friday and its actually their 70 wedding anniversary today. I love old people and asking them questions so i ask them how they made it so long and they tell me hard work. oh i was hoping for an actually secret but thanks. One of my favorite things to do at work is talk to the old people. I always ask how long theyve been married because i find it so cute.

I hope when I'm 91 my husband and i still hold hands and work out and are in amazing shape.

i love old people, even more so, old people in love :)

hey remember when i liked you even though you hit me in the face with a soccer ball? cool huh

I dont think boys should ask girls to a movie on a first date...

if a boy asked me i would definitely say no

"hey caitlin you wanna see a movie tomorrow night?"

Everyone falls out of their seats laughing.

Probably because they all know i want to say yes but im so stubborn i wont

Real Funny.

Everyone says he looks at me different than any other girl but true story- the movie hes just not that into you? SO accurate. Friends will tell you anything to make you feel better although i mean he did look at me kinda special ;) but still.

Later on: "Yeah I'm way athletic"

He then throws a soccer ball to me...

i'm sorry to me? I meant at me.

...soccer ball hits me in the face...

ow.

my face hurts.

kinda badly actually.

His face turns bright red and he feels terrible!

he apologizes profusely and when he thinks the humiliation has worn off he proceeds to tell me that my super athletics hands should have caught the ball.

I then get tired of boy and act weird around him because my room mate tells him to ask me on a date.

NOOO

Awkwardness and I am forced to avoid the boy.

He does do a very funny impression of me me avoiding him, you should ask him to see it sometime

it definitely makes me laugh :)

Youre 45? Ummm no thanks.

So in 2011 I joined a gym :) Go me! Well actually i joined like 2 months ago but i have like no time to blog so ill catch you up. I decided to be all grown up and get a membership all by myself. Let me just say signing up for a gym is very stressful. Initially i went for a free weeks membership and i was bullied into getting a membership, luckily it turned into one of the best decisions. After the unusually pretty tall (no doubt a ploy to make normal girls insecure and feel the need to join a gym) girl talked me into getting a membership this very short and overly built guy walks up and asks if i wanted a free training session. Umm yes please. Four days later i walk into the gym and he gives me the training session and it goes well. A week goes by and I'm sitting on the bicycle when the trainer walks up to me. Ahem, heres how it goes.

"So you have a boyfriend?"
" hahaha um no, i mean theres lotsa boys but no.."
"well i wanna take you out"
PANIC MODE.
OH MY GOSH
THOUGHTS? fall off the bike. faint. call my mom. get my brother to beat him up. tell him im a pathological liar and i actually have a boyfriend...i just forgot...scream and run away. call 911...ok wait thats extreme.

But i can seriously tell you my heart stopped beating for a split second there because a lie could not get out of my mouth fast enough. So i stalled. Im pretty sure i gave the deer in headlights look too.

"well actually i'm 19..."
"i know"
"yeah...um youre 45"
"i know, but youre exactly what i want looks wise and personality wise. Youre one of the sweetest girls"
(creepy, but at least hes up front? unlike boys my age)
I pause. i have nothing to say
"when i see something i want i just go for it"
(I am not a pair of shoes you can just have buddy...)
Creeper then proceeds to pull out his phone as if my panic striken face means please keep going, i;m not extrememly uncomfortable...
"Look let me just get your number i wanna take care of you and ill send you sweet texts"
woahhh RED FLAG. pretty sure you just described a sugar daddy. You wanna "take care of me"
First off: offensive.
Second off: maybe if you came up to my elbows...okay just kidding you arent thatttt short.
I let him down easy and say umm " let me think about it"
I think he gets the message because he says see how sweet you are, even letting me down easy"

After he walks away i wish i could quit the gym. Now i have to see this crazy man every single day. I then call my parents and proceed to tell them this story, sparing no details.

Update: He no longer works at the gym and it is a safe place again. Thank goodness!
