ROE

I have been wanting to go ROE for their all you can eat sushi. You know, the one with billboards all around town? Yea, so I have been telling David to take me there, to which his response is always, "No".
Last night my husband went to work as usual. He responded to call after call. Then late in the evening, one of his co-workers is dispatched to ROE for a medical aid. By the time it was all said and done, the medical aid turned into a fight. Eventually, this single unit call escalated to a city wide response to the location code 3 (meaning with lights and sirens). David was cancelled when he was about a mile out, but the fact that this one bar has become such a police nightmare amazes me.
So if you ever want to go to a nice dinner and maybe some drinks, I would suggest for you to stay away from ROE. Unless you have some anger to get out or want to try your latest martial arts moves.

School unpdate

I have been going to school now since February. During this time I have learned a lot and have a new excitement for the job. It is all sinking in that all the people I started with are going to be graduating. Most of them were full time and have put in twice the hours that I have. I am sad that all my friends are leaving but happy that they will be able to start jobs and hopefully become successful. I have until June to graduate. This seems like forever, but I know it will fly by. Thanks to all of you that have let me work on your hair. I love the experience!

HOT!

All I have to say is....it is November and it is 96 degrees outside. How can we get into the holiday spirit when we are still wearing tank tops and shorts. I want to have my Christmas lights up and my windows closed. I am having a hard time getting used to this, even though it happens every year. I hope the cool air makes it's way to us soon.

This Coming Season!

Halloween is over! I don't know if this is a good or bad thing. Typically I love the holiday season....especially the eating (who am I trying to fool). The problem is that I am not ready. I wish that the holiday season would last longer, along with the cold weather that we don't see enough of.
I love the lights, the fog (I know but it still makes me happy), the smells of Thanksgiving and Christmas...the entirety of the season. I am not sure what it is exactly that I am not ready for.
Maybe it is because every year that I want to do a big party and never do. Maybe it's the pressure to buy people the "perfect" gift, which for me is more of a challenge.
This year I am going to make an extra effort to make this season enjoyable for my kids, like my Mom sis for me. Baking cookies and German traditions. Listening to the Nutcracker and singing Christmas carols while working around the house.
Amazingly, as I have written this I have made a little progress on my cheer factor. Maybe I can do this after all!
