Today was First Aid Recertification Day ...

Now I can say I am certified for another 3 years. Or certifiable. Take your pick.

It was done through work, and I got to go with Jerret and Keith, 2 of the biggest jokers ever. I am pretty good at starting stuff myself, but these guys laugh at it, and run with it. And I do mean run.

We started off reviewing what to do if someone is choking. As soon as she said the word "choking", I started to giggle. Keith looks at me and gives me the glare of death and whispers "it's not funny ...". I started laughing harder because he was wearing his Maple Leafs Jersey ... and I whispered back to him "in that shirt you should know ALL about choking!" Hahahahahaha .... It makes me laugh just typing that.

He started to laugh too, told me it was a low blow and he would get me back. And he did. It's hard to give rescue breaths to a plastic dummy when someone's whispering "oh yeah baby, come on, blow harder .... " Needless to say it was an interesting day.

When we went for lunch, Jerrest was driving, and he noticed a lady in a car that looked like one of our vendors at work. This lady wears a fanny pack, and has virtually everything you could think of in it. So then we were suggesting things she might be carrying with her (ala Batman). Grappling hooks, shark repellent, tampons, bandaids, bubble gum-shoelaces-tin foil (with with to MacGyver something to perfectly secure a display to the racking), gatorade, nailclippers, boxcutter, paperweight, glue, etc. Bet if you asked her for a pen she wouldn't have one ....

I am in Love !!! (Edited ... Pic Added)

Head-over-heels, turn-me-around, knock-me-down, don't-know-which-way-is-up-- L O V E !!!

The object of my affection : Lily.

I got to meet her today, in the flesh, and she is just the sweetest little girl ever. I went over to Carrie's to drop off her R.O.E. while I was on lunch, and she introduced me around her house. First to Miss Persnickity Princess Cat Mookie (who looked at me like I crawled out from under a rock, and then strolled away), then to Leo-cat (who was sleeping and licked my fingers when I touched his nose ..), and then I waved at Bryan and zeroed in on the newest addition.

She was having a snooze on his legs, and she was as relaxed as can be. Bryan called her "Noodle" and honestly, she was like a cooked noodle! She relaxed in my arms, and she just lay there snoozing. I don't want to say she was limp, but she was VERY relaxed. I could just look at her all day. She has the most perfect rosebud lips, and her skin is almost transluscent. She has the cutest toes too !

I filled up on Baby-smell while chatting with Carrie and Bryan, and it made the rest of my day that much better !

You know that old saying about stopping to smell the flowers ? Pick the Lily .. she smells the BEST !!





Carrie sent me this pic that Bryan took the other day ... Seeing it, I can still smell her sweet baby-smell .... ahhhhhhhhhhh !!

I peeked at Carrie and Bryan's blog this morning and they've put up some pics of their new Baby girl !!

World, Meet Lily. Lily, meet World !!
