Wow, so a lot has happened! I've been working and having fun! ;-) I'm still working my 40+ hour weeks (which is pretty awesome), and then I've been hanging out with one of the girls from the church I go to. We always have such a blast when we're together and it's amazing how much we are alike in some things. :) I actually brought her home with me this last week so she could meet my family... I think she had a good time and my family seemed to enjoy having her there. :)
I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th! :) I meant to write a post that day but I was working and we didn't have a lot of breaks. My 4th of July started with a call at 6:50 am (shift starts at 7, but I always get to work early) and it was pretty consistent the rest of the day. I had picked up a day shift on the 5th so I was really worried it would be insanely busy with transports, but it turned out to be an awesome day with two calls the entire 8 hours. Thank goodness too... I was so tired that day cause it was the end of my 32 hours. What we do for overtime.... ;)
I had made breakfast and lunch/dinner stuff (the day before the 4th) so that for the 32 hours I was at work I wouldn't have to eat out at all. :) It worked pretty well, except that it's hard to cook something while you're at work because you're always getting interrupted. Everyone seemed to enjoy the food quite a bit and I got some pretty hilarious comments. :) I was out restocking the truck and this was the conversation between me and one of the guys, "Either you need to marry me or you need to give me the recipe for that coffeecake." "Ok, I'll give you the recipe." "Wow, I don't know if I should be offended by that comment or not." Someone overhearing the conversation replied, "It's because you're like 20 years older than her!" =) I got this one quite a bit that day too, "Are you like Martha Stewart or something?" :) Haha, not even close! I just like to cook and make things for others to eat. :-) Here's a conversation between my partner and I on Monday afternoon... "What are you doing this evening?" "Oh, I'm probably going to hang out with a friend or something." "Well, I'm working again tomorrow and you really should bring in some cinnamon rolls." "I would if they didn't take so long to make, but I'm tired and going to be lazy the rest of the evening." "You really should think about it since peer evaluations are coming up." :-) For those wondering, I did not make cinnamon rolls the next day and I did hear about it from my partner again, "How come there's no cinnamon rolls on the table?" :-) If I had the money to cook for work all the time I would, just cause I love having others enjoy the food I make, but it can get pretty expensive after awhile. I think I could probably get them to pay some money for groceries, but I haven't asked. :-)
I'm working again today and I realized that I've worked the last 3 Sundays. :( I don't have a Sunday off until the 1st. Weekends are nice to work, mostly because you get weekend pay and there's only two crews. But I really want to have my Sunday's back where I can go to church instead of spending it at work. I suppose somebody has to do it though.... When I finish up here I'm going to try and listen to some Alistair Begg and hope we don't get a call. :) Those of you who have never heard of Alistair Begg should really look him up and download his free podcasts on truthforlife.org.
Hopefully it won't be too long before I write again. :) I never did post up pictures, but maybe I'll get to them eventually. :-)
Oh, and for those wondering about my odd title about mashed potatoes... well, after I was finished writing I was trying to come up with a good title to describe everything and all I could think of was it being a bunch of rambling words all mashed together... and when you think of mashed doesn't everyone think of mashed potatoes? Well, maybe only I do... ;-)
