The day with Brady

Since I mentioned earlier that I missed Brady's birthday party I decided to spend the day with him. We went to eat at Piggy Blues BBQ and I got BBQ sauce squirted all over my shirt when putting some on his sandwich so I got to buy a new one at Shopko..SNAP! (Brady said that a lot today) Then we went to Book World and I bought him a book on tractors..john deere, international harvester and callipitters (he couldn't say catepillar)then off to mini golf...not the faciest but he had fun.

I'm surprised they don't have this in the Olympics yet.

My little Oasis...

Hard to believe that I have managed to keep these plants alive. The big one I got from my friends when dad passed away, there is a cactus flower plant I got from my sunday school helper this last year and the other is known as jacobs coat. I replanted all of them into different pots and they are still alive. I must have done it right. The jacobs coat I will have to replant again at some time as it will grow taller. Well...off to get ready for the day. My nephew Brady is here. I am taking him out for his birthday lunch (two weeks late) and then to play some mini golf. There may be pics later.

Here I am...

It's about four o'clock in the morning and I have managed to stay awake while working at Hidden Creek...and I didn't get a nap in before coming to work. I have managed to get the kitchen garbages emptied, cardboard boxes from the kitchen broken down, mopped the kitchen floor, cleaned up the dining room floor, have the tables set for breakfast, have cereals and bread out for breakfast, laundry finished and I am now ready for bed! I don't do this shift very often so I have maybe missed a few things that should get done but I got the major things done. Two more nights of this...hope I can do it.

Hope everyone has a relaxing Labor Day Weekend...

We had one of our overnight shift persons at Hidden Creek quit on us...no notice...just not coming in anymore. So when I am done at work at power 96/KQAQ at 5pm on Friday I will be going home and trying to catch a nap cause I am working the overnight shift Friday, Saturday and Sunday 11pm to 9am...I might actually be done before 9am hopefully. I only agreed to do Sunday because I have Monday off from the radio station plus everything after midnight is time-and-a-half...woohoo!

All of this for a needle prick...

Saturday night when I was working at Hidden Creek I accidentally pricked myself with a lancet after a tenant had checked their blood sugar. Went through my glove too. So I filled out an incident report, called the nurse and she said I would have to have a blood test done to check for HIV, HBV and all the Hepatitis's. So today I go to the clinic and have to go to the ER for the blood test (all needle pricks go through the ER) and I swear the tech filled about four or five little viles. Then I had to go to the clinic's second floor for a drug screening...making sure I'm not on anything...and I had to use a specific bathroom, they put blue dye in the toilet and turned the water off so you couldn't flush it, then they bring you in soap when you're finished to wash your hands and throw away the paper towels in a waste basket in the hall as they are not allowed in the bathroom. Then we proceed back to a little room (where I had to leave my purse) to initial that the numbers and code on the paper work match the label on my vials of pee and initial those. Needless to say this is the first time in the two and a half years I have worked there that this has happened and I am damn sure going to make sure it doesn't happen again!

Famous People I Have Met...

I can't believe I didn't have these in here earlier. I met Gene Simmons of KISS in June 2007 and Marion Ross (she grew up in Albert Lea) for a second time just this past June. The ACT Theatre was renamed the Marion Ross Center for Performing Arts. The picture of Marion is fuzzy cuz a guy I work with took the picutre and he must have moved his hand when taking it.

Tried a new variation of Lasagna

I was hungry for Lasagna but then realized I didn't have lasagna noodles. Everything else for lasagna but the noodles. I had a box of Rigatoni noodles so I used them instead. I browned my pound of hamburger with onions and stirred in a large jar of spaghetti sauce. In my 9x13 baker i put a little over half of the sauce in bottom, the box of Rigatoni, my sour cream and cottage mixture, more sauce and then mozzarella chese. Covered with foil and baked for one hour at 350 degrees, took foil off and baked another 20 minutes. Rachel Ray eat your heart out!

Relay for Life

Went to the Relay for Life with Mom and Auntie. I found Dad's luminary that Mom made and the one I made for Diane (a lady I work with at the station....same age as me and has colon cancer...and is also a KISS fan!) but Auntie and I couldn't find the one Mom made for her. I told her we were looking to hard for it. These are the pictures I took...not the greatest but you get the feeling.

Should the Vikings get Bret Favre?

I would love to see him on the Vikings only to have the chance to torment my friend Cindy who is a die hard Packers and Bret Favre fan. Oh the fun I would have. She would go on and on...Bret this and Bret that (just kidding Cindy if you read this..lol!) I swear to God she would even wear Green and Yellow on what she called Bret Favre Day..his birthday..(just kidding again Cindy!!!!!) I had so much fun when I worked at Hormel with her. I would give her birthday gifts wrapped in Vikings wrapping paper...have her locker covered in Vikings wrapping paper...and then when she took the wrapping paper off she would find Viking cut outs taped to her locker. HE he he! That's what happens when Cheese Heads move to Minnesota! (just kidding again Cindy)
