A little more serious

Every so often I am reminded that my job is a little more dangerous than I chose to admit. This morning one of our crews was hit by a drunk driver. The medic was stepping into the side door of the truck and took most of the impact. She broke a leg, was knocked out, and has a few lacerations. The EMT working with her is my regular partner. Sounds like he got banged up a bit but no real damage. I can think back to several accidents our co-workers have been in and a lot of them have been pretty bad. This is the second that I can recall that involves our medic as a pedestrian. Your heart sinks every time you hear about one of these and we all hope our medics get well soon.

Donna wants me to blog more

Ok, so I recently spent a weekend with my sister in St. George Utah......along with 75 of her closest friends from church and 3 frenemies. So, maybe my number is off, but there was a ton of friggin women there. I knew about 1/16 of them. We went for Scrapfest. It is a weekend scrapbooking retreat for the ladies. Most of them need to "get away" to do any scrapbooking because they have sniviling children at home that tend to get their boogers on their supplies. Sadly, I have no children but I was unable to escape someone else's boogers. It's ok, I've had my shots. I finished 16 pages and certainly made my sister and ElRae laugh. I also think Tricia was a little intrigued by our shenanigans and I am sure I got a chuckle or two out of her. I really enjoyed spending time with my sister, minus the kids. It's a very different conversation without kids. There are no interruptions for the "don't do that" "don't you touch that!" "Get off of there" "You be nice to your brother" I could go on, but I won't.....she hears it enough. I do wish my sister & I could spend more time together scrapbooking, or really just hanging out for that matter. She called me out and told me to blog about some stuff so here it is. Sorry if it isn't all that interesting to read.

Six Random Facts

Donna didn't tag me to do this, but I figured I would do it....


Six Random Facts about me:

1. Whistling drives me NUTS! I hate it when people whistle a song. Whistling to get some one's attention is ok, cat calling by day laborers is NOT ok. So, for all of you who just read this, don't do it just to make me crazy.

2. I hate the smell of peach candy. Mom LOVES the gummy peach rings and will blow it in my face cause she knows it drives me nuts. I guess its payback for being a impossible teenager. Watch, now she is going to eat them then whistle in my face.

3. I have to charge my iPhone frequently, especially while at work. It is such an amazing device & there is so much to do with it and so many things to play with. I lasted one shift at work before I realized I needed a car charger.

4. I wish I would have gone to medical school. Of course, the work towards that should have started in high school, but I wasn't thinking then. I see how easy medicine is and see these new residents and think "damn, I could have done that."

5. I am ready to do my spring cleaning & make huge donations to Goodwill. I want to go through every inch of the house and get rid of everything we don't need or want. I even left the last row of seats out of the Tahoe so I can LOAD it up.

6. I think that the only thing that will ever get my tile clean is Mr. Clean Magic Erasers. I bought two 4 packs of them this weekend in preparation for the spring cleaning. They are the only thing that gets into the little holes in the tiles. Only problem is, I got a whole lotta tile in here and it will have to be done by hand.
