Quiznos Optional Pricing

Sorry, just a quick rant here. I went to Quiznos the other night to pick up a couple sandwhiches for Dixie and I for dinner. After ordering our two sandwhiches (exactly the same sandwhich), I was at the counter checking out. The girl had my credit card in hand, and asked, "Did you want the buy two get one for a dollar?" I didn't quite hear her, so I asked her to repeat herself. She said it again, "Did you want the buy two get one for a dollar?". I said no, just the two sandwhiches is fine. Then AFTER she had run my credit card, and I was done paying, I see a sign on the window that says, "Buy ONE get one for a dollar." So I said, "Oh, did you mean, buy ONE, get one for a dollar?" She said, yeah, that's what I said.

While I'm pretty darn sure she said TWO, not ONE, it doesn't really matter does it? If I'm buying two sandwhiches, and there is a deal going on where one of them should only cost me a dollar, do you really need to ask me? Perhaps she is used to people coming in who are averse to saving money. Maybe there's a pandemic of Chrematophobia going around that I don't know about, and there are tons of people running around trying to get rid of all their money. That's like asking me, would you like to pay more money, or less money for this food? OF COURSE I WANT THE SALE PRICE! Do you really have to ask?

Quiznos, I want my $7 dollars back.

BTW, I know I've surpassed my deadline on more Disneyland photos. That's because I've been spending every waking moment sorting through them and finding the aboslute BEST photos for your enjoyment. As soon as I have wittled them down to the top 500, I'll post them ASAP.

Rest in peace, MJ

Michael Jackson has officially gone from "freak" to Legend.

Oh, and I realize we still have not posted anymore photos from our Disneyland trip. I will get some up before the weekend is over, I promise!

First pics from Disneyland

Hey, thought I'd post a few shots from our vacation so far. Maddie is having a blast, and keeping us all on our toes. We're trying to document all the cute things she's saying, but at the moment, I can't seem to think of any. But here are a few pics. The airport, her first airplane ride, Universal Studios yesterday, and then a few shots from Disneyland today.





And the below video is just for the Packers and Greens. It's not an exact representation, but it's the best we could do. Enjoy!

Aftermath




Ok, here's a shot of our computer room after all the cleaning was done. You can't see them, but off to the left there's a set of shelves we put in that saved a lot of great space. Man, you should have seen this place before.


HEADLINE: Layton home contains secret room

I think the value on our house just went up a bit this weekend. We recently discovered an extra room! Must have been hidden there by the original owners, because I don't remember it being there when we moved in. I always thought that this "space" in the house was just a big pile of rubbish, a dumping ground if you will, where we can stash stuff we don't ever want to see again. Turns out though, that there was an actual 4th room in that very spot, right underneath our noses, hiding there, the whole time!

But seriously, we had about 5 hours on Saturday with absolutely no kids, (thanks to Debbie for taking them with her to Orem) so we decided to tackle the beast that was our office. We forgot to take a picture of it before, plus Dixie said she wouldn't have let me post it anyway, so I found a picture that could be comparable to what we were dealing with before hand.


This may not be a perfect representation, but it gives you an idea of the space there was for moving around in there. Not much. Take a look at all the messy offices at this link, and you'll see a fair amount of pictures that were similar to how ours was before the CDC and the HAZMAT teams came through. The "after" picture will follow shortly, as soon as FEMA has finished doing their analysis.
Disclaimer: For Dixie's sake, please let it be known that this is not a fair representation of the rest of our house. The rest of our house is spotless, all the time, and never EVER gets messy. Ever.
