So there I was returning from lunch on a lovely Wednesday afternoon. I walked into my office building, looked towards the stairwell then I shrugged my shoulders and decided I would take the elevator since I was wearing 5 inch heels. I walked towards the 2 older women who were already waiting for the elevator. The bell went off I was slightly annoyed because this particular elevator is being remodeled, it’s torn to pieces one the inside and I think it’s ugly. But I got in and because I was near the buttons I asked my fellow passengers what floor they would like select… 4 for them and the top floor for me easy enough, the door closed and up we go.. Until we got to the 3rd floor and that’s when the adventure started. All of a sudden the elevator started to slow down then it dropped. It didn’t drop far but it dropped enough to knock us all down. I asked if everyone was okay and helped the women get to their feet. One of them (Flo) was already in tears as she is claustrophobic and already hates elevators. I assured her that everything would be okay and I reached to push the buttons. UH-OH none of them were working, so I picked up the emergency phone where I talked to the Midvale Fire Department. I explained the situation and they were on their way. We decided we should sit down and get comfy, yuck I hate the ugly, under construction elevator floor! We sat, we sat and we sat some more. Good thing I had full cell phone service and was able to find entertainment from texting and facebook. 1 ½ hours later after listening to the firemen working on the elevator trying to fix it we finally moved and the doors opened on the 2nd floor. I was happy to see that the men who had come to our rescue were little lookers which made the experience a little more fun… It was a good time and another classic Kristi moment.

Saturday night I was BRAVE! I had enjoyed my day having lunch with friends from my old job and attending a dear friends bridal shower. I got home and was ready for a nap.. However I’m doing all of this online dating crap and this guy started messaging me. I wasn’t super attracted to him but I didn’t have any concrete plans for the night so I decided what the hell I might as well go out him.
We decided to meet up at Green Pig Pub (bar/restaurant) downtown, I figured it was a good social place. Plus if it sucked I could always meet up with my old roomies Adam and Trevor for a fun night on the town. I arrived at GPP only to find that he wasn’t even on-time… I HATE that, which means he automatically lost points in my book. Finally when he did show up 20 MINUTES LATE he was definitely NOT the same guy I had been talking too… This guy was at least 10 years old than he said he was and he sure was missing the cute shaggy hair and decent style from his pics! Instead he was about 40 years old and dressed like Jerry Seinfeld, I know I shouldn’t judge a book by its cover but I knew immediately that this guy was not for me.
He sat down at the table and could barely even say hello. This wasn’t an “I’m shy” kind of awkwardness it was “I could be a serial killer” type of awkwardness. He wouldn’t make any decision for himself, he would only order what I was having even though he knew he wouldn’t like it. He attempted to tell me stories about his “life” which only involved people who work at clubs that where he goes to hangout by himself. Note: these people are not his friends!! Also within the first 10 minutes of meeting him he (for what reason I don’t know) started explaining the structure of a vagina to me… Okay, thanks mr crazy but I’m well aware of what a vagina is and how it works considering I have one and I doubt you’ve ever seen one!! This man kept trying to talk about porn, sex and all of this other random crap. All I could think about was how the hell do I get out of this?!
This was not your typical guy where you can say “well nice meeting you, I have to get going.” Nope that WOULD NOT work with this wako and I knew it… I had already sent the “help” text to Adam and Trevor to show up and save me but I feared it wouldn’t be soon enough. I’m not just kidding when I say I this guy would chop me up into little tiny bits and leave my remains scattered around the salt lake valley never to be found again! He was THAT CREEPY!!!
Then my lucky break came along. He said he needed to use the restroom and as he walked away I flagged our server down paid my half of the bill and literally RAN out the door! I continued to run down the street and around the corner where I ended up in another bar I know well. I called the boys the give them the update and I hid in the corner. I was seriously so scared that this guy was going to walk in and find me any second. The calls and texts from him started to flood in… Where are you? I miss you? Please come back? I need you? Can you say SCARY this is basically straight out of a horror flick! My nerves were going crazy and the second my friends walked in I would not let either of them leave my side.
They decided they didn’t want to hang out at the current spot so we went to a few other locations. Everywhere was dead. Then they mentioned they want to go to Green Pig Pub… ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! That’s where I left the guy! But they made a valid point that no guy would dare come up to me with them around (they are big and good looking) and if they did I wouldn’t have anything to worry about because they would take care of me.
As we walked back into GPP I glanced across the room and he was nowhere to be found halleluiah! My server came right up to me and said I made the right choice and that she would have done the same thing. She also said he threw a glass at the wall when he realized I wasn’t coming back. So now everyone that works there knows who I am and were applauding me and saying it was the best thing they had seen all day. It quickly turned into the funniest joke of the night. We decided to go hang out on the rooftop patio and while walking up the stairs (Adam followed by me and then Trevor) I saw him… OH NO I’M STUCK IN THE STAIRWELL WITH HIM AND THE BOYS DON’T KNOW THIS IS THE GUY… So I just looked straight forward not making any eye contact with him. When we got to the roof the first thing Trevor said was “did you see that guy, he was crazy!” I explained that was the guy. Next thing you know guess who’s back on the roof circling us giving me the evil eye?! The creeper!!! This went on for a while and more and more of my guy friends showed up to “protect me” and hang out. We didn’t stay there long because we all knew it just wasn’t a good idea.
Even after we left we figured out I would probably need an escort everywhere I went for the rest of the night. All and all the night ended up being a blast and I really think it’s funny that I ran out on him but it was still scary. I had my phone on silent and woke up Sunday morning with 71 missed calls and over 100 text messages from the guy! I haven’t heard from him since so hopefully he’s moved on with his creepy life!

Well summer is coming to an end and I’ve been lousy and blogging lately. I guess I’m in a writing rut! So here is how I’ve ended my summer…
First off here are the pics of whitewater rafting in Jackson Hole. It was so much fun, I want to go again!
Every summer there are a ton of concerts but there is only one that all of my friends can agree to go too… That would be 311, so of course I went and had a blast as always.
My roomie and I visited the zoo to check out the dinosaur exhibit…
I haven’t seen the movie Tangled but I hear it’s great. Anyhow I was invited to a “Lighting of the Lanterns” inspired by the movie. I went and had a blast… The pictures don’t do it any justice but what a great and fun experience!
Utes football started Yahoo!!!
Finally I spent Labor Day weekend visiting my best friend Mary up in Oregon. We had a blast!
Friday:
We met downtown and explored the city. Grabbed a bite to eat then headed for Vancouver, Washington where her boyfriend lives. We spent the evening listening to his band practice, picking wild black berries, going for a nature walk, watching the sun set and playing games with all of her friends.
Saturday:
We hiked to Naked Falls, Washington where we were able to do some swimming and soak up the sun. The we went to lunch on the harbor and got to watch all of the sail boats. That night we were exhausted so we just grabbed a movie and stayed in.
Sunday:
We went back to Vancouver, Washington and played some beach volleyball and played in the water. Then we headed to Portland where we explored the Pearl District which was super artsy and cool. We went into an art college and got to watch interpretive dancers haha it was hilarious. Then we went to Harvey’s Comedy Club and laughed our faces off.
Monday:
We had a ton to do. We started off by visiting a logging museum where we took a bunch of pictures and played on all of the old equipment.

Then we headed to Cannon Beach where you see the 2 big rocks in the movie Goonies. It was low tide so we were able to find a bunch of potholes filled with crabs, starfish, clams, fish and other little goodies then.
Our next stop was Shipwreck Beach (I can’t remember the real name) this was super cool. There’s this huge ship that wreck a long time ago. Most of it is under the sand however along the beach parts of it stick up. The very front of the ship is really cool and you can climb all over it (yes I’m worse than a little kid) then you randomly see other tubes and stuff sticking out. It was really awesome. We also attempted to build a sand castle complete with a zen garden and animal guards haha while we were there.
After that we stopped quickly in the city of Warrenton for a good view of the coast.
Finally our last stop was in Astoria, home of the Goonies and Kindergarten Cop. We saw the Goonie house and the school in Kindergarten Cop. Then we went down to the Rogue Brewery where we had dinner and watched the harbor. There were a ton of sea lions near the dock so we went and watched them lounge around and there were even a few fights among them.
It was a great weekend away filled with much needed time with my best friend and also fun meeting her new friends.
Peace Out Summer 2011 it’s been a big hit!
