WHY I LOVE DANCE FOREVER

and

Tour de......Whatcom?

The Tour de Whatcom is a real thing. It happens August 1st. It is also a real thing that Brian will be participating in. He will be doing the 50 mile leg. He bought a bike last week and already did 30 miles the other day. Pretty impressive actually! The thing he is most excited for about the race? The jersey. Also, he was the cutest and probably the most excited about this than anything ever! Who wants to come watch with me??????

Why?

As I previously mentioned, Brian is the most obsessed with le Tour de France (a 20 day long journey all across France as we learned). To him and everyone else, I would like to ask this question: Why? Why in the world is this so cool? WHY?

I have been watching now for half an hour and do you want to know what's happened? Nothing. A million guys on a million bikes have biked. In one large clump. That's it. That is the only thing that has happened. Yes, they have gone through some curves and yes, a few people have changed their position, but that is actually it.

And this happens for 4-6 hours a day. And all of it is broadcast. FOR 20 DAYS!!!!!!!!!! How can so many people watch a large group of people do nothing exciting but ride their bikes for that long for that many days!?!?!?!?

I don't get it....

Something else I found out was that they ride in teams. Even though one person still wins, they are on a "team". I don't get that either.

I'm going to rename le Tour de France. It's new name is le Tour de Dumb.

Fact or Fiction?

I just saw a client of mine on a commercial for Whatcom Credit because they helped her reasonably buy a new car.

FACT.

Seriously?

And whoever has heard of "Whatcom Credit"?

Hmmmmmm...

Brian has been the most obsessed with the Tour de France. I don't know why...maybe cause he wants to buy a roadbike, but he's pretty much been watching it 24/7.

Today, I found out that the race is 20 days long. I asked him: "Why is it 20 days long? Why is it not like a normal race?".

To this, my husband replied: "Well, it is a tour of France."

It was at this moment that I realized for the very first time it was named the Tour de France because it was a Tour of France. A race all over the county of France. Not just a race in France.

Good thing they still let me have a college degree.

Suckers.

I Bet You Never Knew...

Today my boss called me into her office because she had received an L&I claim. She proceeded to tell me that when she gets these, she usually freaks out because an employee has cited an "on-the-job" injury and our rates skyrocket. She began to freak out this time, as expected, until she realized that it wasn't an employee or anyone making a claim against us. It was a statement from L&I informing us that one of my clients had claimed ME as their MEDICAL SERVICE PROVIDER. Bet you never knew I went to medical school did you? That's probably because I didn't. I went to Western Washington. For Human Services. And I'm a HOUSING case manager. I focus on HOUSING. I helped her get a HOUSE.

Mind you, this is the same client that answered the door with no pants on and always tells me about "the aliens".

Anyways, I had to call her today and have her change it, so L&I could have accurate legal information. Kinda too bad though...Dr. Ashley has a nice ring to it...

8th Wonder of the World

My favorite thing in the entire chip world, and possibly in the entire unhealthy world, is FLAMIN' HOT CHEETOS!!


This bag holds so much deliciousness, I can't even explain. I honestly think that my body has a physical addiction as I can down one large back in a sitting. I don't understand my desperate need for FLAMIN' HOT CHEETOS in my life, but I'm so glad that God gave them to me. The only thing that I am unsure about is how too, like regular Cheetos, they are made with REAL CHEESE.

Dear Frito Lay,
Please tell me how this is possible.
Love,
Ashley
