Top Ten Movies

No this is not the ultimate top ten movies of all time... I decided since this is Ben and mine's blog that I would do the top ten movies that both of us can agree on watching and be satisfied with the movie. They are in no particular order.

1.Remember the Titans
2.Blackhawk Down
3.Shooter
4.The Boy in the Striped Pajamas

5.Forever Strong

6.Little Rascals
7.The Fugitive

8.P.S. I love you

9.Oceans Eleven Series
10.The Bourne Series

We have a nice little variety of movies I think :) There's a few more that we could probably add to the list but we'll just keep it at ten!

Tuesdays Top Ten

On a friend of mines blog she does something like this and I wanted to try it out so let me know what you think!
(Shoot this one has to be really good because its the first one!)
TOP TEN REASONS WHY I'M DOING THE TOP TEN
1. Because I can...
2. Because I want to.
3. Because it will be AWESOME!
4. Because it will help me to blog at least once a week
5. Because it will be FUN!
6. Because I think it will be good for my brain to think of what I'm going to do the TOP TEN on and then to actually think of the TOP TEN
7. Because Jay Leno does a top ten?! Doesn't he? I DON'T KNOW!
8. Because if I can actually think of ten reasons why I'm doing the top ten then I better have something better for everyone to read next tuesday!
9. Because Ben's smart and I will have him just think of witty top ten topics!
10. Because I made it to ten dang it!

Waiting for the gym to clear out..

This has got to be the most randomest blog that I have ever done...

There is one treadmill in our apartment gym and two ellipticals and they are all taken at 1 in the afternoon. I don't understand. I already get upset when someones on the treadmill anytime from 12-1 because thats when I watch Gilmore Girls while I'm running. Today I went down later because I did the ab ripper first...not trying to brag here its not like I did amazing with the ab ripper and I did all the reps or something... no I did not :) Oh and I am supposed to run 9 miles this weekend for the half marathon training so I HAVE to run today!

Thats ok though it gives me some time to blog while I'm waiting... yes I'm waiting until 2 and hopefully someone will be off the treadmill. Its better than that time on a Friday night when I went down there to run and there were a whole bunch of people having pretty much a party in the gym. I put in my headphones and just start running and they come in with chairs and beer and sit down in front of the TV and start watching sports... ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I had to run that night though so I sucked it up and as soon as I was done I didn't even cool down I just shut off the treadmill and walked out. Seriously people c'mon.

Ben and I don't know if its us or people lately but it just seems like people are nuts! Not in a good way. The other day we were doing self checkout at the store we were trying to purchase one item that was in box with a bar code. The scanner was not reading the bar code so then it wanted us to type in the #'s on the bar code, meanwhile there is a girl breathing down our neck and tapping her foot! Go to another eisle geez! She is so lucky I didn't slap her! My heck! As my mom would say bless her heart, "Linds, maybe her dad has cancer, her son is in a wheelchair and someone stole her wallet you don't know whats going on in her life." My mom is too cute. But, thats not what I thought I thought I want to maybe slap her she's probably all talk. I'm not usually a violent person but lately I've been thinking some people need a good something something once in a while.

Don't even get me started about driving! I have become kinda an agressive driver I guess and I'm working on it but when I'm in the slow lane and you are tail gating me there is no better way to really tick me off! Yes I admit I've even slammed on my breaks a few times to these people(don't worry I don't do it anymore I got in trouble with Ben and my mom,dad,Jason,and Karlie) Who am I to judge though... sigh... this has got to be the craziest thing I have ever done on the internet... yes this blog that I'm writing write now.

Oh and one more thing... we pay $10 every month for a parking spot at our apartments. Its the last one on the row and theres a spot next to it that has a sign that reads"NO PARKING UNLOADING ONLY". So apparently because people can't park there they park in our spot. Not just even a half and half sometimes they full park in our parking spot. We've complained many times to the management they gave us the tow truck companies number which we keep in the car. One of the tow truck guys told us that if their in the "No Parking" Spot an no one is in the car that we can call them to be towed. The other day I get home from work and I am in a rush because I have to be inside to work at jetBlue in like 5 minutes and there is a truck with a small trailer backed into our parking spot. No joke. My front bumper and their front bumper are like 5 feet away. This guy comes out and opens the door to the truck grabs something and starts walking away so I roll down my window and start saying hey,hey, excuse me! He completely ignores me and keeps walking! I'm not even kidding right now! So I call the tow truck company they tell me they have to verify what I've told them? Fifteen minutes later I get a call from them they say "We've verified that there is someone parked in that stall. What kinda of car do you drive?" I tell them. " Ok we just wanted to be sure it wasn't your car. We'll send someone out right now to tow it." What??? I have nothing to say to that ... wow...oh wow. That was nice of them to make sure I didn't call the tow truck company to have my own car towed out of my own parking space... HELLO PEOPLE GEEZ!

Oh ya! Ben and I went snowmobiling with my family a few weekends ago and last weekend we went to Vegas... still need to blog about all that. We made a video while we were in Vegas of our adventures so I need to wait until we get that edited and then I can post about our trip :)
Ben needs to get on here too and talk about how his new job is going he has some very interesting people he works with. Very interesting.
I have been in a really wierd mood lately so I hope this blog doesn't make anyone think bad of me. For those of you who know me well this is just me being me. And no I don't hate the world in fact I'm in a really good mood today and loving the sun that is shining and that Ben is going to be home in 1 hour!
I'm going to go see if that person is off the treadmill now.

Politics

Background: Ben and Linds sit down to watch Biggest Loser and realize on every channel its the state of the union address. A little while later...

Linds: Is the president elected every four years?

Ben: Yes. All of them are.

Linds: No some of them are elected every two years...

Ben: Which ones?

Lindsey eats popcorn

5 Minutes later...

Linds: Babe will you go get the laptop I want to know which ones are elected every two years



FYI Its the House of Representatives and the Senate :)

Oh no officer we were just doing Tae Bo...

Yes an experience that I never thought Ben and I would experience ... we had the police called on us the other night. We've been working out trying different exercises lately I love Tae Bo and I really wanted Ben to try it. So we did in our one bedroom upstairs apartment at 830pm on a Thursday night. Later that evening we are cooling down in the bedroom watching the news about 910pm and theres a knock at the door Ben goes to go get it I hear him talking to someone and then he yells "Babe can you yell that your ok?" So I yell out "I'm ok?" then unknown voice says "No I need to physcially see that she's alright." So Ben asks me to come out and I do to find a police officer standing there. The neighbors apparently thought we were having some sort of domestic fight and called the cops on us.

Allstate...your in terrible hands

So I am furious! I just posted this post and it completely deleted it!

They found Ben's bike...it was part of a huge chop shop bust. This would have maybe been a good thing if we had been treated better

by Allstate and not misinformed and lied to about everything.

We were supposed to get the money for the bike over a week ago.

Allstate had told us since they were paying us out for the bike if the bike was found

it was now theirs.Ben got a call from the West Jordan police that they had found

his bike. After I got off work we went over to the chop shop. It was crazy they

found 12 vehicles at this one location. Trucks,Cars, Motorcycles anything you could think of.

I so wish I had taken a picture it was crazy! The police told us that they were having the vehicles towed that night

and that our insurance would pay for it. Which makes sense because technically Allstate told us it was their bike now.

The next day we are talking to Allstate and they say " No you don't get your money for the bike its actually 30 days

your screwed blah blah blah" WE WERE FURIOUS! Needless to say since the motorcycle has been stolen our claims

lady has not returned ONE...NOT ONE of our calls! We understand that rules our rules but don't misinform people

and then screw them over GEEZ! Anyways so we find out we need to go pick up the motorcycle from the tow yard

Ben shows up a guy comes out and says it will be $480 in cash to take the motorcycle. Apparently, Legally, they can charge

up to $150 an hour to tow it and Apparently it was around an 8 hour tow?! Is this making sense to anyone?

Ben looks around see's all the other motorcycles stolen and asks why no one else has came to pick them up.

Oh, Because no one can afford it! So we call our Allstate agent and they say " Well we can take that $480 off of your

$1000 deductible...thanks for choosing Allstate!" Oh no, Thank you Allstate that helps so much you guys are great!

Like hell you are... Anyways like I said we understand rules are rules but it would have been nice to have known the rules

oh well what can you do? So Ben picked up the bike from the tow guy (btw another guy showed up to pick up his bike..$40 WTC?)

A lawyer whose motorcycle was stolen also showed up and now the state will be suing the tow truck drive for charging

so much and they shouldn't have been charged ... period! So this has all been fine and dandy we can't wait for it

to be over! Right now the bike is being looked over to see how much damage has been done...

I'll keep y'all posted.

Everythings going to be just fine... :)
