GOING TO CHILI’S on a FULL STOMACH

Tuesday, August 18, 2009 Tonight was the fund raiser at Chili’s in Jordan Landing for Sierra’s Taylorsville High School drill team so in spite of still being stuffed from sushi earlier, I met Judy, Niki, Greg, Alexa and Gavin for dinner. With a flyer/coupon, 10% of the cost of the dinner goes to the team. It was Alexa’s first day at pre-school or rather she and Niki went and registered for school and got to know Miss Wright and a couple of the kids. Although she is but three years old I think she will fit right in and do fine. Today was purple day for Alexa. She had on purple leotards and a purple top. She had a purple flower hair piece and purple underwear. She even went to the trouble of taking off the other color panties she originally had on and putting on the purple ones. While we were waiting for the food to come to the table, she and I danced in place for a good five minutes with hand gyrations and all. Alexa and I has gots the moves! Long day—I’m tired. See the following blog entry for the Sushi story etc.

SUSHI—JUMP ON IT

Tuesday, August 18, 2009 Today eight of us met at Simply Sushi in Downtown Salt Lake and boy did we stuff ourselves. At least I did. I didn’t think Corey was ever going to stop and I wasn’t about to let him show me up. I drove Austin and Molly. Corey had Jim with him in his car since they had a 1:30 p.m. appointment downtown; which fell through. Judy took TRAX to The Gateway where Corey and Jim picked her up. Julie Bird and her sister Susie (sp) came separately. (They took Judy back to work afterwards.) We had a good visit in addition to eating. Jim is driving to Idaho Falls after work to see Jenn…hmmm? He took an inflatable bed and an ice chest to take her some sushi; he asked Danny, one of the sushi chefs there at Simply Sushi to have some rolls made up for him to take up north. Jim will cut them when he gets there. (Since Jim rolls sushi there on Friday nights, we all eat for half price when we eat with him though not when he is rolling—working) Jim will be coming back to Salt Lake tomorrow…I think…hmmm again? After Simply Sushi, Austin, Molly and I drove to Lehi where we met up with Stacey, Jayden and Bailey in the Albertson’s parking lot. From there we caravanned to Jump On It, on the west side of the freeway, where the kids and Stacey jumped on the trampolines and whatever else they have, for an hour. At the end of the hour, for an extra $3:00 a person, Jayden, then Bailey, Molly and lastly Austin did a bungee jump (approximately five minutes each). The older two did back flips. Jump On It, is complicated to find. Jim had a map and walk me through the directions via the phone while Stacey followed in her minivan. During the first hour, Austin got acquainted with, and the phone number for, a cheerleader from some school. Her name is Lydia. I didn’t see her but everyone says she is cute. We’ll have to see how far this goes. I am assuming that since Jump On It, is in the Orem area, she is from down south somewhere too. Austin lives in Taylorsville; up Salt Lake City way. I pointed out a cute girl to Jayden and suggested he go talk to her, but he simply stated that he was committed to Issie. I missed the first 2/3s of the action at Jump On It, since I ran to RC Willey and picked up a white entertainment center.
