wide awake

Time to get those photos up on the blog here.

These first three are of the very friendly Arabian camel.  He checked out all sides of the car.





This is one of the many emu friends we made.



I think this is a water buffalo.  (Yours is fast, but mine is slow.... That's for the people who watched "Veggie Tales" as a kid)



One of several peacocks hanging around.



Corey being cute.  As usual.  :)




An ostrich chasing me along the fence!



Video of a monkey swinging around.



I hope that video upload works.  I may have to fool with it some or upload it to YouTube.

Charge nursing is going well in preop.  Still have some things I'd like to improve greatly on, but overall I am getting better at it.

Happy weekend!

call me, maybe

I'm just posting a quick update today.  Hopefully, later this weekend I'll have a bigger post (with pictures!).

Corey and I had a great Fourth of July!  We slept in (both off of work!  yay!) and then went up to Gentry to visit one of his friends at their Freedom Fest.  We watched some "amateur wrestling" and ate a ridiculously expensive corn dog.  After leaving there we decided to check out the Drive-Through Safari still in Gentry.  That place is pretty awesome!  They had all kinds of animals (some that will walk right up to your car... I'll post pictures of the camel and emu later) and a petting zoo section.  We managed to snuggle a kangaroo before going home :).  When it started to get dark, we went back to the Freedom Fest to enjoy the city firework display.  It was great!  We were glad cities were still doing fireworks (safely monitored by the fire department) even with all the burn bans.

My sister, Ruby, is in NWA this weekend!  We have plans tomorrow to do some swimming and ice skating.  I'll post more on that Sunday or so.

Work update:  Going pretty well.  Still not training in PACU :(.  However, I am starting to train as the pre-op charge nurse.  I had day two of that today.  It is pretty special.  You definitely earn that little bit more an hour for charging.  It was fun, though, and while I wouldn't want to do it every day, I enjoyed it so far.

Pottermore update:  Slytherin won the house cup!  Always good to be a member of the winning house :).  The prize is getting to see the first few chapters of Chamber of Secrets before everyone else!  Color me excited.
