I knew there was a reason why...

Today was an interesting but good day. I had a new girl today at work. She's a one on one, but she's so easy, which is nice. Anyways, it was a busy day today. We went and fed the ducks/geese at the duck pond in Kennewick, and it was REaLly HOT! Then we went to memorial for lunch and swimming. During lunch one of our one on one counselors got hurt by his camper. It looked pretty bad, he seemed in a lot of pain. So since he was out and also our site director, we were short staffed in the pool which made things interesting. Then loading up on our vans, we were 25 minutes later than usual, which made us really late getting back to the ARC.
When I got to my car, it was really hot inside, and my water was all gone, so as I was driving on George Washington Way, I saw Arby's and i remembered that Jonathan was working from 4-closing today. So i pulled in and he saw me. He asked me how I was and I said, "I want some water" so he brought me in and got me a glass of nice cold ice water, then he said, "do you want a milk shake?" and i said, "i would love one!" he said, "what flavor, I can make anything you'd like" and I requested a strawberry chocolate one, which he replied to with, "well, i'll do my best, i've never made something like that before..." So I got to spend about 10 minutes drinking ice water and sipping a milkshake [which was free :-) ] just relaxing in a cool air conditioned place before I headed home. It was really nice... I knew there was a reason why I was interested in a Arby's man... :P
heheh... ok so I know that it's not the reason why, but it's a nice perk! :)

My 4th of July

Today was Amazing! So it didn't start out too good. I wasn't feeling so hot. But after 4 naps- 2 half hour, 1 ten minutes, and the other 45, I started to feel ok. I had this stomach thing, and I have no idea why. Anyways, so i got to eat a nice dinner with some of my family. Then headed off to the movies with my best friend Amanda, and also this really good guy Jonathan, his two kids and his cousin, Elizabeth. It was a blast. The movie was a great kid movie, but since the previews started at 7:00, it didn't get over till 9, and the kids were getting really tired during it, which made for a cranky ride home. Then we went back to the Hale House, and walked down to the fireworks. We got to meet Christina's family, and Tallia's family, and Carrie's family there. I wish I could have been there earlier so I could have mingled with them more, but oh well. Since the kids were falling asleep on the blanket and us girls didn't want to walk back by ourselves, we left early-which turned out to be just before the finale, so we stopped in the parking lot and watched it as we walked away.
Then we got water, and Amanda and I drove home. It was so funny... Since Amanda had been working at her house all day since 7:30 in the morning, she was so tired so she was talking a bit of nonsense while I was driving. I don't know what was funnier, Amanda in the car, or Christian trying to sleep while on his dad's shoulders...
aww, life is good.
