Self-Revelation

I discovered today while in church, that I am indeed, uncomfortable around guys with long hair. I'm not talking shaggy hair, but long hair...like you could put it in a ponytail or use a straightener on it.

A man was sitting in front of me today that had hair longer than mine has ever been. It was wavy and shiny (in a healthy way, not a greasy way). And all I could think of was that it might touch me if he leaned any further back!

So moral of the story, and by moral I just mean the end, I think guys should not have hair longer than my pinky finger!

Working with high schoolers never ceases to amaze me! Here are some tidbits of info I gleamed during the last couple of days:

~If you have just recently gotten a new hairstyle and wear a sexy outfit to ask a guy to prom...he will say yes.
~ It is apparently now acceptable to spend the weekend at your boyfriend's house.
~ It is not necessary to wear closed toed shoes, long pants, or a jacket when it is 45 degrees, wind blowing, and raining.
~ If your mom and dad (who are divorced) get into a fight over the phone, it is to be expected that your mom will take it out on you...most likely by hitting you. (This one broke me heart!!! b/c the first time I met this girl she had a black eye which I assumed was from basketball, but now I don't know for sure.)
~ The new "it" thing to call a significant other is "babes" and not babe like it was back in my day.
~ Kids who have left the crappy little town I work in, desire to come back b/c they miss it. (This too makes me sad b/c this town is seriously a hole in the wall, backwards town that has nothing to offer these kids. I want to take them all away and make them believe that they deserve better!)
~ Number 18 from a certain school does indeed look amazing in those baseball pants!

So there you have it...some new knowledge to gain from high school kids...not all fun, but all very real to them.

And speaking of high school kids, it's amazing to think that 8 years ago today, Brian and I were just some dumb high school kids that decided to start dating and go to prom together. So I guess there is still hope for those dumb high school kids to grow up and become productive, loving adults.

1 Year, 2 Months left to go...
I am tired of school! I have been at this for six years and have another ahead of me...
Just having one of those days that I am looking forward to the day that I don't have group projects, case studies, boring lectures that make me want to paper cut my eyeballs, and teachers that teach their own agendas over what we actually need in order to be good clinicians.

I know there are those reading this that say, I wish I was still in school and not working! But I want to be working so badly. I understand that my job comes with crazy stupid paperwork, but I also get amazing patient interaction. I get to challenge myself in a real world situation and not pretend in a classroom. I know that there is definitely more knowledge I need to learn before I can get out there and practice...I just wish I could learn in fast forward mode and be done!

School, school, go away! I don't want to go back there another day!!! :)

As winter sports draw to a close my hours at work dwindle away to very seldomly working. So...when I got the call at 3:00 this afternoon to cover some games tonight, I said a quick YES!

Mullet count=3
Adults missing front teeth=4
Badly drawn on eye brows=1
"Aint Got None" phrase spoken=Uncountable
Getting unexpected work hours=Priceless!

Things that make me smile...

SUSHI! Love it!!! I could eat it everyday! Thanks Jody for introducing us to the amazing Japanese wonder of sushi!

Brian is an amazing man who loves in the good times and the crazy times!

Softball!!!My momma and memories of her crazy dog Killer!My dad who gives awesome hugs!Siblings who make me laugh all the time!!

I loved Steph's last random picture post...so now I copy it!

Lessons on Nutrition

I have learned so much since working in a high school athletics setting. My favorite lessons are about proper nutrition and what it now deemed healthy food. These lessons are taught by players, fans, and parents. The following are several of my favorite nutritional lessons...

Take for instance a girl who went to the concession stand and brought back three bags of M&Ms because she was "really hungry!"

Only eating one double cheeseburger before a game is way better than when the person used to eat three double cheeseburgers before a game.

Look, mom, I got something good for me at the concession stand...a hot dog!

Mom, can I have some money? I am going to get something healthy like nachos.

The chocolate chip cookies are better for you than the snickerdoodle cookies because they have more dairy in them because of the chocolate chips.
