Clouds in My Coffee

T.G.I.F.

I hope you've all had a great week! I know mine has been a busy one! I skipped out on school today and spent the day with my mom. She is flight attendant, so I don't get to see much of her these days. We went to lunch and then did a little shopping and it was so nice to spend some quality time with her. After that, I had to get back and pick up Tanner and my niece from school early (they dismiss early here on the night of the homecoming game) so that we could go to the homecoming parade. Austin was riding in it with his little league football team. He loved it and the little ones and I had fun watching the parade. Tonight we went to the football game and the weather was just perfect! I love going back to my old high school and watching the games...it's so fun seeing some of my former classmates!

I saved a life at work last night! :o) A lady called 9-1-1 because her house was on fire. It was about 1:00 a.m. and she had been asleep. The smell of smoke woke her up and she was trapped in her bedroom. Thankfully, she slept with her door closed because the fire was right outside her door. I was terrified, my heart pounding, but I couldn't let her know that...she was gagging and choking and having a hard time breathing from all the smoke. She was in a state of panic and I calmed her down while instructing her on what to do. She was afraid to jump out of her window because it was quite a bit of a drop. I was on the phone with her trying to convince her to jump for quite sometime. Needless to say, she jumped out of her bedroom window (after throwing the cordless phone out first) and lived to tell about it. I felt really good about it when it was all said and done. I have been commended by the fire chief and some of the other firefighters that were there, so I guess I can brag a little. ;o) All in a day's work!

Anyway...I've got to get off here and get ready for work. It's going to be a long night because I have not had any sleep today. I hope you all have a super weekend!

Here is my Friday Five

1. What vehicle do you drive?
Black 1999 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

2. How long have you had it?
Since 1999 :o)

3. What is the coolest feature on your vehicle?
They're all cool! I love little gadgets on cars.

4. What is the most annoying thing about your vehicle?
That it is so old! This is the longest amount of time I have ever owned a vehicle!

5. If money were no object, what vehicle would you be driving right now?
If money were no object, I'd be driving a Cadillac Escalade. But since it is an object, my next vehicle (which will be very soon) is going to be a Chevrolet Tahoe.
