father's day!

well i'm a day late, but happy father's day dad! (cause everybody knows

he reads my blog ALL the time and checks it EVERY day :) haha! jk)

i actually had to work the 6-3 shift on father's day (at the Shepherd's

Inn...an asissted living facility for those of you who didn't know)

so that was kindof a bummer, but it was still good. i always hate it when

people work on sundays, but it actually turned out to be a blessing!

i just love my new job...the people get so excited over the simplest

things! being it was a holiday, we turned on the chandelier, used linen

napkins, had a fancy meal...and they just thought it was the greatest

thing ever. (i think the holidays are spread out enough that they forget

we just did these same things last month for mothers day, and for all

the previous holidays, but that's what makes working there so

fun...heehee...and funNY :)) so anyway, all that to say i was really

bummed about working on a sunday that also happened to be

father's day, but it turned out really good. after i got home i took

a quick showerand then we met grandpa & grandma & brian & claudia

for supper at culvers. Mmm! (i had the oriental mandarin salad-

which must not be very oriental bc i always love it. :)) anyway, it was a

fun time...i think we all just sat & watched mike be an idiot, but

hey...it's one of my favorite (not to mention most frequent) passtimes. :)

then we went to hyvee quick to get softener salt but they didn't have it...

(pretty much the only reason we went there instead of wally world

first was bc i was in dire need of a turtle frapp and the ONLY starbucks

in town is in hy vee! haha!) ...so then we went to walmart. cept i

didn't go in. i was wearing white pants. did i mention i got a

frapp? need i say more? (yes, sam. i spilled.) i tell ya, i'm sooo paranoid

about this now. white and me....it's just not meant to be. one of the first

times i ate with sam at college we had ravioli...and i was wearing a white

tailored shirt. : as i cut my LASTin half it totally slid

off my plate onto my shirt. and almost EVERY time i've worn white since

then i've spilled something. : so yes, i mourned in the parking

lot and finally decided to call megan to take my mind off of the horrible

occurrence. (wow...this is such a weird post...from

father's day to softener salt, to walmart, suddenly to ravioli squares...)

ANYWAY...

that was pretty much my day. a little different, but then again our father's

days are always a little different...no dad, not because YOU are "a little

different" (hahhaa!), but because we are usually at a tractor show

on this weekend! i think this was the first time in ...8 years or so?

dad & mike did go this year (Amana, IA) but they left it saturday afternoon

and got home around 10 that night. so! it was fun to be with family &

home for the day (or for the second half of it anyway...at least not at

a tractor show...heehee! :)... i must say that Amana Iowa HAS produced

very impressive tanning weather each year tho...:))

so....happy father's day "to the man who taught me to drive!!!!" :D

(don't ask)

i love you so much dad!!! :))))

to all those of you who are dying to know

if my white pants are ok, they are.

i know you were scared for them.

(is anybody sick of me talking yet???)
