Oh my!!!

I can't believe that it's only NINE days until Christmas!  Where does the time go?  What are you guys doing for the holidays?  I'm not doing much.  I guess that I'm visiting some family on Sunday and I think some on Christmas Eve with my sister.   I do have to work on Christmas, which wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't told that I would have Christmas off.  Oh, well!

I plan on shooting some video from the festivities, and I'll upload it to YouTube.  Be sure to check my channel outhttp://www.youtube.com/user/kaelanceful or just search Krystal Lance.

I don't have a tree up for this year yet, but here's a picture from last year.  Merry Christmas!

June 13

I know that it's been awhile since I've updated.  Somebody walked out on work, so I had to pick up a lot of extra hours.  The paycheck was nice, but it did keep me super busy.

Last Sunday I bought Animal Crossing:New Leaf.  It is a ton of fun!  If you want my friend code leave me a comment, and I'll be sure to add you back.  Luckily, I had $32 in store credit so the game only cost me $4.   I also got Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon today.  I'm hoping to get started playing it tonight.

I also started a new class last week.  It's called Digital Photo Manipulation,  I just finished the first week yesterday.  So far, I'm enjoying it a lot. Some of my classmates don't know how to write tactful and helpful critiques.  Me, being the troll that I am, write them a critique just as tactless as the ones they wrote me.

I hope to be able to write more blog entries, since my work schedule is going to be back to normal starting next week.

Making some changes

Hey guys!

I've been really busy at work and started college Algebra last week, so unfortunately I haven't been able to do daily journals.  Which now that I'm thinking about it may be a good thing.  I think that my daily life might be boring.  I'm thinking about changing my format to write blogs just when I do something really interesting.  I'll probably still do a weekly blog with what I did day to day every once in a while.

This past week at work I trained a new girl at work.  She called in sick on her first day (monday), which sort've ruined my plans to leave her by herself for 20 minutes on tuesday to go to a dementia discussion group.  She's doing okay, but on friday she messed up pretty bad on the lunch drinks.  Some of the residents haven't warmed up to her yet, and the want me in the dining room all the time.  Then she talked about finishing her CNA, so I'm not sure she'll stay in dietary very long.

I also helped my grandma install an Evenflo Maestro in her car for her granddaughter.  I felt like I almost broke my back!  I wish that I took a picture :(

I get sent home from work on Saturday because I got sick.  I wish that I didn't get sick because we get pay differential  on the weekends.  Oh, well.  I slept until 5:30pm and felt much better.  I went to work on Sunday, then I finally got to go to the dementia discussion group.

Also, on Saturday was the baby shower that my mom and sister was hosting for their friend.  I guess my diaper bottles and diaper cake were a hit.  <3

April 15- April 21

April 15-  (Monday) Today I was in the dish room.  I basically did the same thing that I did last friday.  We did try out a new menu today at lunch.  It was very chaotic! We really do need a couple more people in the kitchen at lunch time.  I also stabbed my hand, I didn't realize I did it until later.
I made a 3D model of my template I made in my last assignment.  It was a lot harder than I expected, but I was the second person to hand it in.  Go figure!  Today was a very boring day.

April 16- (Tuesday)  Today I was the dietary aide in the main dining room, nothing out of the ordinary happened.  My residents were awesome!
After getting home from work I watched a really low budget movie about Slender Man.  It was corny, the acting was horrible, but it was still very creepy.  It's on YouTube, I'll post the video down below in this post.  I also had to reformat my homework from last night and answer a couple of questions.  So yeah, it has been a real productive day!

April 17- (Wednesday) Today was crazy at work.  I had to set up two parties and help at the main dining room at lunch.  The person doing dishes was in a bad mood.  I, personally, don't think that he likes being a hostess.  I got off at 3:30 and got home a little before 4.  I only had two critiques to write tonight for homework, it didn't take me very long.  I also heard that Even Stevens is going to be on the Disney Channel tonight at midnight.  I'm going to check it out!
UPDATE: Even Stevens was on, but at 11pm;  I only caught the last 3 minutes :(  I'll try to catch it next   week!

April 18- (Thursday)  Today was my Saturday.  I did accomplish getting very little done around the house and ran a few errands.  I don't have any homework due tonight, so I spent most of the night updating my DeviantArt account.
Well, I don't know if this is TMI.  I got myself measured for a bra, and I'm a 38 DD. (HOLY COW)  I knew they were large, but not that big.
I'm a former CPST, I'm going to renew my certification soon.  I acquired a new demo seat.  It's an Evenflo Discovery 5 and has a recall.  I'm going to use it for demonstrations and for display, so no real child will be riding in it.  I do have a little car seat addiction/ problem, lol!

April 19-  (Friday)  Today I went to Target and bought a new bra.  I still need to get a few more, since all my other ones are a cup size too small, lol.  I also browsed  the book section there.  This is probably going to sound really dumb, but I really want to read the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" series.
I also had to do some designing for class, I had a lot of fun with it.  My project is coming along nicely.  Maybe I'll start posting my progress on it.  On a side note:  I need to get Microsoft Office for my iMac, it is a necessity for school.  (I do have it on my Acer)

April 20- (Saturday)  Work went really well today.  I stayed caught up on dishes and the nurses were in good moods.  I hope tomorrow goes just as smooth.
I took a hilarious video of my mom tonight.  I uploaded it to YouTube, I'll be sure to embed it below.  My moms boyfriend made us a good and healthy dinner.  We had beef and mushrooms, fresh green beans, and cucumber salad.
A family friend is having a baby shower in a couple of weeks, I looked up her registry, and she registered for size 7 diapers.  She said that she wasn't paying attention, and said that it was just to tell people that she needed diaper.  Well, being the troll I am, I bought the size 7 Pampers.  You can only get them at Babies 'R Us, so I made a special trip after work.  :)

April 21-  (Sunday)  Once again work went really smoothly, that rarely happens to have the whole weekend go like that.
My birthday is April 26, but we kinda celebrated today.  We went shopping at ross, I got a few clothes. Then we went to IHop for lunch.  Just a great day!!!

Videos of the Week

April 9th- April 14th

April 9th-  I had of work today.  I actually did get some things done.  I finished making a diaper cake for a friend of my sister.  It turned out really nice.  As some of you know I live in Kansas and the weather is being crazy! The day started out really nice, it got up to 75 degrees.  Then in the evening it is icing and freezing outside!  Tomorrow I go back to work for the week.

April 10th-  Today I was the "kitchen helper" at work.  Nothing real exciting happened.  Despite the very icy, the roads were pretty much clear, so I wasn't late to work.
My dad died almost 3 years ago, my mom and I spent most of the evening looking for one of the emblems of his race car.  We are finally getting him a tombstone.  Today was just a boring day.  I'm hoping tomorrow is more eventful.  :)

April 11th-  Today I got up at 3:45am to get ready for work.  I actually had a great day.  My residents were all in great moods.  We exchanged stories, laughed, joked, and smiled.
I started week 4 in my concept development class,  I'm not sure I understand my assignment that is due tomorrow.
My sister came over tonight.  We went through some old photographs, and the memories flooded back. Especially our birthdays and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  Now I'm getting ready to fall asleep.

April 12th-  Today I worked in the dish room for most of my 8 hours.  During lunchtime I was a hostess, which I like doing.  It's fun to interact with the residents without interruptions.  I even got one resident who was crying to cheer up.  I don't like seeing her so upset. :(
I had homework tonight, for concept development.  We had to draw up a template for a counter top, POP, display.  I never done anything like that before,  I'm nervous that I did it wrong.  I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

April 13th-  Happy Saturday!  This is my weekend off,  I honestly didn't do much.  I woke up at 5:30am because I forgot to turn off my darn alarm clock.  Then at about 8am I went back to sleep until 11:30 am, oops!  Since I basically had a lazy day, I played Super Mario 64 DS.  I really do enjoy that game even though I'm horrible at it.
I forgot to upload part of my homework last night, so I did achieve doing that.  I'm attending the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, online division.  I was tired of basically living paycheck to paycheck.  I'd like to be successful and be able to retire when the time comes.

April 14th-  I have to go back to work tomorrow.  Today I went shopping in Maize, KS.  I went to Target and Michaels.  I bought a dress at Target.  I don't normally wear dresses, but it was so cute.  I do need to purchase a black bra if I'm going to wear it in public, my white bra shows through.  (TMI, possibly?)  I just bought some random art supplies at Michaels, and I managed to spend a little under $6!
OMG!  I just downloaded Slender Man on my iPad,  he caught me before I got the first page.  I nearly pissed my pants, and promptly deleted it!  I'm a wuss, I admit it.
