"VACATION" T minus 4 days


No, It's not another disneyland Trip. But on my board at work it states "10,259 days until the next disneyland trip" for those unmathematic minds---that's approximately 29 years from now. But if I am not at Disneyland, where am I??? You guessed it......more modeling of the beautiful hospital gowns that don't tie and are not modest by any means. Tuesday is the big DAY for more hand surgery.....hopefully this is the last of it for the left hand.....to finish what started 30 years ago as a birth defect. Yes 30..... anyways.....just wanted to catch you all up on the excitement. Lortab and percocet here I come! bbbbllleeehhhhh

The next trip was down south




Two days after getting back from Zarahemla....I headed out to St George with my coworker Tricia to work in the hospitals down there. The weather was absolutely perfect, however we were disappointed not to see any polygamists like we usually do. We had some nice hotel suites at the Best Western on Bluff Street. That is a really nice hotel for those who are interested in staying there. We had many discussions about the Swine Flu sitting in the lobby eating breakfast with several other travelers. Everyone kind of left the bacon alone even tho you can't get the flu from the bacon. It was kinda funny to see people start to eat it while the news was on and by the end of the swine flu report, all the bacon had been pushed to the side of many plates! This is the hotel we stayed in......see above. It was a good trip but we were glad to get back home after working 30 hours total in two days. We were exhausted. Well that's all the excitement for now!

What a crazy week







For five days I have been sitting in various cars traveling the state of Utah for work or pleasure or both. Wednesday the 22nd of April was a trip to Vernal to work at the hospitals in Roosevelt and Vernal. The drive is incredibly boring! We were given a mini van for two people! I seriously (no offense to anyone) felt like a "mormon mom" all I needed was a few car seats in the back! It was a really nice van but a little too big for us!
Friday and Saturday was the single ward's first campout at Zarahemla. It snowed and rained the entire time. It was so dang cold that the elders got in the cars and drove up and down the campsite with the heaters on cause they had to sleep in the cabins on one side of the camp sight and the girls slept in the lodge. Some of us were wise (maybe?) to sleep in our cars because the 18-21 year old girls kept the rest of the group up ALL NIGHT long laughing and screaming. I heard there were also some freight train snorers in the group as well. I have been recovering from pneumonia so I slept in my car. I did get some sleep but it was quite cold even with a sleeping bag and two blankets and a coat on.
