Today was an awesome day for me. I had one of the best days at work ever. Mr. and Mrs. Claus paid a visit to my kids today and made even the most cynical and skeptical of my kids question their beliefs that Santa isn't real. I mean, these two were amazing! (although, Santa admitted his beard and mustache are a little loose after 7 years of wear!)Time to grow new ones! =D
Unfortunately, I did not go to bed as planned last night. I found some fire department stuff from my own town, posted by an onoffical Buff and got sidetracked. I didn't go to bed until 11:30 =( (Bad Hotflash!)
But I did log 12,563 steps today and Pete was a very good pedometer. I didn't catch him playing Tarzan even once today! (good Pete!) And fluids were not a problem either. Probably because I ate a lot of salt today. I started my day at 4:45 this morning with 8 jumbo stuffed green olives! (When I was pregnant many MANY moons ago, my hubby bought them for me by the gallon because I'd eat about 14 every morning when I got up at about the same time I did today! -But I am NOT pregnant!) Then we had pizza for lunch at work today as a reward to the kids for doing so well in our fundraiser. I have had nearly a gallon of water and herbal iced tea today. So I AM 2 for 3 at least! And I didn't have one drop of Cherry Pepsi =D
I had a little time tonight and found a link on the Crusty Jakes website that I enjoyed. It's on YouTube. It is not fire department related, it IS police department related.

The first part (12 days of Christmas) is funny. The rest (White
Christmas) is boring. Just telling you that ahead of time so you don't
waste your time thinking it has to get better. It doesn't! (If I knew someone on that Dept. it might be more interesting) But as I
said, the first part is great!
Here's another cool video I found:

More fun though is the next one.
Slideshows\2008 ECFR 2-3.wmv That is "Firefighter SUV" by Hannibal
Burress but it is put to pictures of an actual fire department. It is hysterical. At least, we fire types think so.
Okay, that's the scoop so I'm gonna watch some Emergency! (Yay me!!)and then go to bed. (No bedtime on Fri nights!!)
Stay safe!
Hotflash out.
