Happy for Seth

Seth started his new job!  I am slightly sad that I won't see him at work anymore.  Whenever he would walk in the door I would get so excited!  But it's ok because I worked here for a long time before he came, so work will just go back to it's normal old ways.  On his last night I made the assistant GM take a picture of us together in our uniforms, to like, commemorate the end of an era.  That way we can show our kids what we looked like when we met, and where we worked together!
The picture is super cute.

So far Seth likes his new job a lot.  He gets to have meetings and discuss patients and things like that.  I know that he feels better about himself now that he has a job in his field, even if he is overquallified there.  It's such a huge step up from bartending and waiting tables at Holiday Inn!  Plus he gets to dress casually.  And when he gets home at night he doesn't smell like a restaurant. 

I recently had two days off.  On Tuesday Elise and I had fun at the fair!  We saw a sheep with 4 horns!  It's a rare breed called a Jacob's Sheep. 

I took some of my own pictures but this is a much nicer one from google images.  But it looked just like that!

The internet said they can have up to SIX horns! Where would the other horns even come out of?

We ate a bunch of gross fair food like pizza and soft serve and french fries.  Then we went on this spinning ride and these two guys got on with us, and they were spinning the thing around SO FAST and so not only was our unit spinning, but then the whole thing was spinning, and it was fun for about 30 seconds.  After that it was like a neverending nightmare!  Elise and I were both about to throw up we were so miserable!  Finally we got off and we were traumatized from rides for a while.  We decided that we might be too old for rides now, and so we went to the other side and played Bingo!  Which was SO fun.

It was a quarter per game, and if you won then you got a few dollars, but sadly we didn't win.

There we are getting hooked on Bingo.

After Bingo we felt better and went on some more rides.  Then at 8 we hurried over to the track to watch the pig and duck races!  It was really fun and we cheered for the pigs.  We bet a dollar on the pig we wanted to win and Elise's pig won so I had to give her a dollar.  The lady at the track explained why the pigs race.  It's because pigs LOVE oreo cookies so much, that they crumble one up and put it in the trough, and then the pigs know that the first one back in gets to eat most of the oreo cookie before the others get there!  How cute is that???

This is a picture from the duck race.  Blurry ducks running fast!

So then we went on another ride and I took this picture while we waited in line.

                       

                  It's a really cool picture I think, the sun setting at the fair.

Elise convinced me that we should get funnel cake so we got one, and then I kept telling her that we needed more powdered sugar! More! More!  So it was all powdered and delcious looking, and we were walking toward the seating area to sit and eat, and I was holding the funnel cake, and some guy accidentally pushed a stroller in my way and the funnel cake went RIGHT on my shirt and i was COVERED in powdered sugar!!! I was pretty mad for a minute, but then it was actually pretty funny.  I did save the cake from falling on the ground and we still ate it, while we watched a band play oldies.  They played Unchained Melody and all these old couples stood up and started dancing romantically! It was so cute.

                       

Check out the couple on the left...MATCHING OUTFITS! Wow.

Later, I was just thankful that we hadn't gotten hot fudge on our funnel cake.  It would have been harder to brush that off.  I told Elise, "You paid for the funnel cake...but it was ON ME!"  And we laughed! It was funny.

So that was my fun night at the fair!

Then Wednesday I went to the doctor and she told me it wasn't my back hurting, but the joint that connects my left leg to my hip.  So she gave me a cortisone shot!  It hurt worse after that, but I think in another day it will be all better.  I have hope, anyways.

That's enough posting for now!
