William Tell Overature - WICKED!

So...I'm such a blog slacker...I've been told I need to get with it.. ;)

So...Update? You got it! Got a new job at Whidbey General Hospital...it's great! Meet new people all the time, Learn something new everyday. I've actually worked some shifts all by myself with no trainer. :D

Question...Rock Band Beatles...when it comes out in September...Party? Yes, I think so! We could all cram into my little house, unless someone else has a better idea? ;)

Now to update myself on everyone else's blogs! Hasta!

Puppies

My mom got 2 new puppies Saturday... As Torri calls them "Dock-unds"...of course we got miniature Dachshunds! After some debate about names...because for some reason the 4 year old needs to be the one to name them...Here they are!

This is Jasper...isn't he handsome!














This one is Lucy Bella...originally they had another dog picked out, but somethings fell through, so when they asked Torri what she wanted the dogs named...she picked Bella (roll my eyes)...even tho' I'm a Twilight Fan...I told my mom if they named her Bella, I was gonna call her Belly. This puppy is DEFINITELY a Lucy...not a Bella. I'm sure you can get her personality from the picture. ;)










This is them playing outside...Lucy is CRAZY! She tackles Jasper every chance she gets!

The Beatles do Rock Band

So, there's a new Rock band game coming out that's all about the Beatles! There are some really cool parts to this game..

#1- The instruments!


Aren't they cool!?? You can't see it very well but even the drums have some flair on the "Shell" :)

#2 - 3 Part Harmony...that's right, I said it...three part harmony! SWEET, huh?

The only think is, to buy the starter set is $250...that only includes 1 guitar. *sad face* I might just buy a new Rock Band2 Set...that way all our really used instruments can be retired...and just get the Beatles Rock Band disc...we'll see...

Aren't you excited!! I am!

I GOT THE JOB!

Just got a call from Human Resources at Whidbey General Hospital...I got the job! I have a drug screening on Wednesday. New employee training on Monday, then I start on Tuesday!!

Oh, man...I can't even believe it! Thanks for all your prayers and words of encouragement!!

Job Interview!

I should have posted this monday...but...whatever


I have a job interview Thursday morning at 9:30am at Whidbey General...I'm really excited! I'm super nervous, but I'm totally excited.

Everyone keeps asking me..."Are you prepared for the interview?" Well...crap, I dunno...


hahaha...I'll let you all know how it goes!

"Chivaun, can you help me..."

....this is what I heard at around 11pm...

Laurie, my lovely - funny, sister...got my mom to help her put press on nails on her toes. They were actually REALLY cute. Press on nails have come a long way, I tell you.

So...tonight as she was getting things done for her trip to the coast tomorrow, she kept saying, "I'm afraid I'm gonna break one of these things..." At one point in the evening, I heard her making some ruckus...turns out she fell over her bag and face planted. But! Didn't break a nail. She stubs her toe on one of her Crocs, and it broke the end of her big toe.

She decided to try and glue it back down...here's where the "Chivaun, can you help me?" part comes in...


She glues the nail...and was laying on her bed letting it dry. She took her big toe (from the other foot) and brushed up against the broken nail to see if it was dry............she got her toe stuck to the nail!


It was hilarious...maybe it's one of those..."You had to be there moments," WHATEVER...she was laying on her bed helpless because her feet were glued together...what isn't funny about that??


Have fun on the coast, Laurie!

I've decided when I die...

I would like a big huge party! No big long drawn out service...and no graveside watching the casket go into the ground. That is too hard!

Rhoda's funeral was today. I've been really good, emotionally speaking, and only got choked up when looking around at her family's grief. I feel bad for them because some of them didn't take the time or effort to see her as much as they could have...I, on the other hand, got to be with her everyday.

I'm a part of a video game community for older gamers...and someone posted in their blog this:

"Courage is fear that said it's prayers."

I really like that. I know that Fear isn't something we want to have in our lives...and we must do what we can to keep ourselves from fearing...I think one of the best ways we do that is to say our prayers.

I have been afraid in the past couple of weeks...it's a hard thing to have/exercise faith, especially when you realize the only things you have control over aren't the things you WANT control over.

So...to all of you who are examples to me, everyday, of courage...Thank you for being you, and doing what you can with what you're given...you are incredible examples to me, and I'm grateful for you!
