Crayons

(I wrote this on the 19th and obviously never posted it because of lack of pictures.)

I've been doing much better at work thanks to Hyrum and Heather who got some crayons arranged for me last ....Friday I'm going to say. Yes, it was friday. When I am stressed out what really helps me is coloring and then I'm fine.



Last weekend was our family reunion, which was pretty fun... even though it rained every time we decided it was time to eat. It has been good to see the family more lately with dev's farewell, my Grandma and uncle Cliff visiting, and the host of relatives they attracted to visit our house as well. I'm excited to help with our winter reunion (Mom-if you need anymore help planning, I'm willing).



There are a few other things I could blog about, like the family pictures we had done this past week or devin going to the mtc, but I don't really like talking about subjects and not having a picture to go with it...which is the case for the past couple of topics I've covered...So I'm going to try to get some pictures off of my phone to post here and talk about.

CPR Recerts....DEATH!

So last month at work for our in-service training I thought it would be a good idea to do CPR recertification tests in order to avoid highschool lifeguards coming into the office every hour, on the hour with the following conversation taking place:

Lifeguard: (while avoiding eye contact and playing nervously with pens in cup on the desk) "Hey um....I had a question...

Me: .....yes? (said in dead tone while waiting for the question I know they will ask)

Lifeguard: yeah, uh I need my uh.....uhm...my CPR renewed....Could uhhh....could I do that?

Me: Did you go to in-service last month?

Lifeguard:
version 1-Well....I uh kinda forgot about it until the next day...
version 2- Well I didn't pass those tests
version 3- well....huh?

Me: You need to find an instructor who will recertify you. (sure as heck won't be me)

Lifeguard: oh...so you are an instructor and uhm...hyrum, uh erin, Suzanne, and uhmmmm.....

Me: ................Teralyn.....?

Lifeguard: oh...uh yeah. (guard then turns to look at manager schedule) Hyrum works tomorrow....do you think if I came in that he would be ready to test me right then?

Me: (complete with "are you kidding me??" look) No. He will be working then....

Lifeguard: Oh....yeah....(continues staring at schedule)

Me: (GIANT EYE ROLL) Can you come in at 4 tomorrow?

Lifeguard: .......9am-11pm????

Me: Can you come in to test at 4 tomorrow or not?

Lifeguard: oh...um...maybe....


Okay I can't continue explaining this conversation anymore. I love my job, but seriously...it seems like we go through phases of stupidity with these guards!!! I can't come in for each one whenever they want to have them just fail the tests cause they have no idea what the heck they are doing in the first place because they don't study or practice. GAH!!! Its bad, but I want someone to actually NEED CPR here so they will realize its not a joke and that they are being idiots. as'gweilof oR?KIew'weew iee <---me pounding on keyboard.

That is all.

Been a while!

I haven't blogged for almost two months. Yeah, I kind of forgot about this thing. :P

Summer is finally feeling like its here and I'm very excited. I really like my summer clothes a lot more than winter. Also, I dyed my hair lighter, but if you read this you probably already know that.

We did a big cleaning of the house before devin's mission talk in church/luncheon afterwards. We now have a fridge downstairs and a working couch and rug. I need to get more of my disney stuff out for the family room decorations. The other day Steve and I went to the DI to find disney stuff and I found a movie poster puzzle of the original beauty and the beast poster.

I started on it, but had to go to work meetings so Devin finished it. It has TWO pieces missing. TWO!! I realised there was a big risk of that since I did buy it at the DI, but come on! Its sooo perfect. Gah. I might just be creative with some cardboard and make my own pieces, but jeeze.

It was beauty and the beast day apparently because we also found a beauty and the beast teapot. You would expect Mrs. Pots right? Nope. This one looks like a large figurine of belle standing in front of the beast. The glass is fused together so they are essentially one connected unit. The beast has his hand on her hip I think and his other hand raised with a rose in it. Yeah...and in the raised hand there is a hole (the spout), his arm on her hip makes the handle loop, and his head comes completely off (the lid). How amusing is that?! I had to buy it of course. Sadly, I cannot find a picture of one online to post here. Maybe when I get home I will add one. It really is that hilarious.

Next I think I need to get something to represent Aladdin and The Little Mermaid. Those are also favorites of mine. Oh! and if anyone wants to help out on my peter pan puzzle, you're more than welcome to. In fact, I might even provide food to those who do since I am horrible at puzzles, but really would like this one done. :P

Back to the topic I was going to talk about, Devin's talk in church went really well. Good job Dev! Also it was really a lot of fun to see all of our friends and family who could make it. It made me really excited for our Hanson family reunion this summer and the Durtschi one that I think is happening this fall?

Yesterday my mom and I went to Color Me Mine....FINALLY! For my mom's birthday/mother's day gift back in 2008, I told her I'd take her. Well, scheduling never worked out and yesterday when I asked her what her plans were, she said the day was fairly open. Whatdoyahknow, mine was too so we decided to go. I went with a big bowl and my mom painted these three square plates that had kinda wavey edges. They are going to be so cute. Saturday I'll probably go pick them up.

Well, that is all from me today I think. Tomorrow I will try my hand at REAL golf for the first time EVER. I have some plaid pants, but am considering getting a hat to match. You know, the kind with the pom pom on top. :P ha yeah right.
