Guy Talk

Image
By Justin
I have a wide variety of employment under my belt. And with that a range of things that I hear people talking about. At least for me, the more women that I work with - the worse the subject matter gets.  You'd think it'd primarily be guys that have questionable conversations. But not from my experience.

I assume it's because guys talk less in general, so it takes longer to get to those subjects. One could argue that men are harder workers by this statement. But others could say that we just don't have the ability to talk & work at the same time...

Whatever the reason, I overheard a fun conversation the other day. Now first keep in perspective where I currently work: IT headquarters for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. So you'd expect the language to be clean - and it is! It's awesome working in a place like this. I'm not sure I've ever heard a questionable subject matter, or I'm just oblivious.

The conversation among 3 middle-aged men:
"Eh it's okay. Let the Grizzly eat a scout."
"Ya, we have 15 boys in our troop, we can spare a couple"
"I don't think you can do that, you're inside a national park, and aren't supposed to feed the Bears."
"There is no way that I'm going to get close enough to a bear to use bear spray. I want it to be like hornet spray - works 15 feet away, not 2! If I saw a bear, I'd throw my sandwich and run! I don't care."

    I apologize for being a large contributing factor to the women initiated inappropriate conversation at work... I know it wasn't all my fault, but we were a crazy bunch!
    I'm really not apologizing, but I think you know that! :)

    Haha. When I wrote this, you (and Lindsay and April) never even came to mind. But it should've! But my ears had been abused long before coming to OB. So I was used to it by then, haha.

It's a Good Life

Happy Father's Day to Justin!  I honestly think he is the best husband and dad that I could ever ask for.  Did you know that when Channing wakes up randomly at night all I have to do it shake Justin awake and he'll go take care of it?  Yes, I am lucky.  Dinner was steak, asparagus, and bacon wrapped corn.  Mmmmm.  I love the new things Channing learns everyday.  The other day he saw me use an oven mitt and had to give it a try.   Yesterday I walked around the mall, shopped at Target, and got a strawberry limeade from Sonic.  It was fun.  But then Channing didn't want to take a second nap and was cranky all day.  Oh well.  At least half the day was awesome!  Yup, Channing still loves pouring water everywhere.  And sitting in it....

Merry Christmas

By
It was a white Christmas here in Meridian, Idaho.  On Christmas Eve we went to church for an hour and then came home and let Channing and Mckenzie each open one present.  We made peanut butter blossoms for Santa's cookies.  And we wrote letter's to Santa.  We also watched mormon messages about the birth of Christ.  For a few weeks the kids were earning pieces of straw to put in Jesus's manger.  Each good act or deed equaled a piece of straw placed in the manger.  Then on Christmas Eve we placed Jesus in the manger and talked about how all our acts of kindness created a nice, soft bed for baby Jesus to lay in.  It was a great visual for them.  (I got this idea from my Relief Society last year.) Making cookies. Mckenzie opened a book from the Crawford's.   Channing got a fort building kit from the Crawford's. Letter's the Santa.   These cute kids. Who knew Mckenzie wanted a puppy.... ...

Can't Wait To Be Done!

By
I'm really getting tired of school.  I'm almost done with my second to last semester of school.  Which means there is a lot of homework to finish in these next few weeks.  It seems that when I have homework to do I have a cleaner house because I'll usually clean before I decide to do homework.  I guess it's my way of procrastinating.  Other ways of procrastinating are: Checking on my garden to see what's growing.  Above is zucchini.  Buying a new bike! Making spinach and cheese quiche.  Playing peek a boo with Channing. Taking Channing to the park! It's been difficult to constantly have school in the back of my mind.  There's always some assignment I should be working on.  (I was just working on my physical assessment class and this blog post is my break.)  School has been great and I am grateful to be a RN.  I know school is important and I'm happy that I'll be done with my BSN in December!
