Never would have thought

As you can tell, I like lists...lists for things I need to do, lists of things I need to buy, lists of things I need to take with me, lists of things I have done, even lists of things I thought I would never do.

So here are some things that I never imagined I would be doing/have done:

1. Paramedic Class.
2. Work as much as I do. (Lets face it, I was a lazy kid)
3. Graduate from college and go to another one. (I always figured one would be enough for me)
4. Buy my own car (This kind of goes with that work thing, and I mean buy my own car while still in college)
5. Have an amazing boyfriend like I do ;-) (this goes with the "dont get your hopes up" thing.)
6. Be preparing to travel. To Japan. NEVER thought I would go there!
7. Take Chinese.
8. Fail the medic test. twice.
9. Live in a 5.5 X 16 foot space. (that's one of me wide by three of me long...in height)
10. Have the chance to stop a persons heart with chemicals, electrify someone in the name of medical help, drill a hole in someones leg to save them with fluid resuscitation, shove a tube down a persons throat to breath for them, cut a hole in a persons neck to breath for them, staple a kids head together, help set a broken arm, stitch up an eyebrow, and poke people with needles, all while enjoying (not delighting in, but enjoying) my job (and getting paid to do it).

Im sure there are more items that I will or should add to this list. I hope it will never stop growing!

My favorite things

I have compiled a list (a short list) of some of my favorite things about winter time! Lets face it, winter pretty much rocks.

1.) Being able to see my (and everyone elses, Jacob) breath
2.) When snowflakes get frozen to my eyelashes
3.) Glittens!
4.) When the temperature is below zero and you take a huge breath in through your nose and your nostrils freeze shut for a 10th of a second.

Thanksgiving has come and gone, thank God, so has black friday...enough people were trampled/beaten/shot that we need to hold another Thanksgiving. But now, now! we can frolic and romp in the cold snowy winter time that is upon us!
