This week on the farm…

My apologies to the two people still reading :)

This week…

My car, “Dirty Old Bastard” died.  Had to get a new one.  Or at least get roped into a new 5 year loan.  My luck with vehicles, unfortunately, is horrible.  It’s not a good thing when you can’t afford to buy a clunker, but you can manage a new car.  The car note didn’t go up too much.

My boy’s soccer team won two games.  (That’s him in the black sweats with the red stripe.)  The team really needed a win, it couldn’t have come at a better time.

The dog (who is still very much alive contrary to what my friends believe) continued to chew on one of my crocs.  Why does he like the left shoe, but not the right.  (And no more hate mail about how ugly Crocs are.  They’re COMFORTABLE, Kyle.  Sometimes a girl needs COMFORTABLE SHOES!)  But look at that face!  How could I be angry at him???

And finally, I switched schools.

I am no longer a part of the class I started with two months ago.  While I was unbelievably attached to everyone at the program, for reasons I can’t really go in to I’ve had to transfer into another class at another facility.

So the bad news is I’m losing the twice a week contact with 12 of the most fantastic Basics and Intermediates ever to practice in NW Ohio.

The good news is that my new instructor is one of the best in the not just the state, but the country.

So… I’m a little heartbroken, but I’m extremely excited to be a student of this particular teacher.

So while I’m off to study like a mad woman, tell me… How was your week?

    Dirty old bastard? LMAO Glad the kids got some wins. The puppy is still so adorable. I’ve never owned crocs so I can’t make fun of you. :) I figure I have to go by the whole don’t knock it if you don’t try it rule of thumb. I hate when you can’t get into details. As soon as you say, I can’t say. I’m thinking hmmm, what could it be, what could it be? She had an intimate relationship with the cpr dummy and it was ruining their working relationship? :D I do hope you find that you enjoy this class as much as the last however.

    When it rains it pours! and you forgot about me reading the blog, that makes 3 of us y’know! goofy girl! As you keep telling me- it’s going to be all right- one way or the other! Even though you miss everyone terribly it may be a blessing in disguise that you had to switch to this other course! Yeah, I know I would like to have at least one blessing that isn’t disguised! :) Hang in there girl!

    When we talked about your new Medic instructor the one thing I forgot to tell you is DO NOT FEED the ego. It is ok for everybody else to know he is one of the best in the country but we try not to let him find out. My life in EMS worked a 76-0 football game last night. Pulling out of the lot caught a hanging at the prison. Dispatched (zzzzz). Now I am working the cage fights tonight :)

    I totally agree with you – they are damn ugly but so comfortable! I love my crocs – but have been afraid to wear them at work after returning from a broken ankle. I tend to trip in them and so went for a pair with more support – sneakers….crazy expensive sneakers – but I still love my crocs and wear them around the house!
