CPR!!! #34

Soooo in High school I had my CPR, because everyone in Gym class had to take it. I never got renewed it because there was no reason to. Of course there is always a reason but I never could see it before.

So when my Sister C said she would teach me I was excited!! C is a Critical Care Paramedic so she knows her stuff. It also was nice because S my coworker and his wife needed to get their CPR renewed.

We has planned to have the meeting at my house, it's the biggest and most room so we could all be in the same room. C was able to bring a few of the Paramedics she works with to renew their CPR as well.

It was a lot of fun, about 2 and a half hours and a couple of people that I didn't know. But They were people my sisters worked with. All in All we all passed the test and it was a nice gathering.

Below are some pictures, Once I have my card I'll post a picture!!

M(red) A(black) and 2 of C's co-workers watching the video!

S(Blue) K(Purple) and Me :)

The Entire Class!!

C had said something so we were looking at her, well those of us who were paying attention!!

It was a fun time, I'm glad we were all able to get it certified!! All together we has, S(co-worker) K(S's Wife) M(my little Sister) A(M's co-worker) and 2 of C's co-workers.

Get a New Job, or be Promoted in the Job I have #54

When I wrote this on my Day Zero project I was thinking that I would be working on a promotion or a new job in about 2 years. But fate stepped in and I was able to work on it faster.

As most know I work in IT, and a Help Desk located at a Hospital. We answer calls for a lot of different places, in quite a few states. I am not saying a lot because I have no desire for my job to see anything about this post, and I have no desire for anyone to relate this back to my job!

I love the people I work with, I dislike very much my job. It's not as bad as others I have had in the past but with the politics that happen in the office(not with my co-workers but with the Management) it is almost like pulling your hair out everyday.

I decided I had enough after they told me that I was going to be getting back on the phone and the job I was doing would be going away. I had been told in the past that the position I was working at would be moved to a different department, and I would be moving with it. That never happened, and frankly I'm glad.

I was able to apply and interview for a Physician Liaison position. This is a couple of steps above the job I do now. Luckily I was able to get the position. I think it is a good fit, and love the idea of working with people one on one. I will be the "right" hand of the physicians I am working with.

So I guess a few years ahead of schedule but I can cross this one off my list! I start on Monday, and will miss my co-workers very much but look forward to this new opportunity.

Finish The entire Star Trek Series on Netflix #99

Man, this is taking forever!!!!!

One of my goals is a very geeky one and I'm good with it! To finish the all of the series of Star Trek that is on Netflix.

I have started with the original series. So far I am on episode 19. I usually only watch right before bed, and at lunch at work. It is going to take forever if I keep at this pace. I added it up, about a year and a half for the entire series.

The Hubs heard me watching an episode he said, "Nothing like a 70's soap". It's so true! I love that it's so old, sometimes though it makes it very hard to watch. The fight scenes crack me up!!

It just makes is super hard to watch at times. I was talking with the guys I work with and they have decided I have to watch the rest of the series in order of release. So I will either be looking that up online or making an excel sheet.

Wish me Luck!!!

Cooking #36

I wanted to apologize for it being so long since the last post!! It has been super crazy around the Hendo House, Starting a business, getting a promotion at my current job, and just general life!! But I'm back on the wagon and will be posting more often!!!

So here we go!!!

#36 off of the Day Zero project is to try 100 new recipes that we have never had before. I am going to use the first one mainly because we have never cooked it ever, even though we have had them!!

What are they you ask?! French Dips.

They were so good! The Hubs purchased the crock pot at his work, and it is amazing! It has clasps so you can transport the entire pot.

Amazing Crock Pot!

I went to the store and they had a great deal. Beef Roast for $11 but you got Dinner Rolls, Salad, and a Mashed potato side all for free. I was excited! We used the sides for another dinner and saved the Roast until we got the Crock Pot.

We put the meat in the pot with water, and some spices that The Hubs decided to throw in. After about 8 hours this is what it turned into!!

Then The Hubs took it out of the pot and started to shred it with a fork because it was so tender.

 OMG, it smelled soooo good!!!!

Then We got our bread out and filled the sandwiches with the meat and put provolone cheese on top too!!

Then The Hubs put them in the oven to toast the bread and melt the cheese!!

He was super excited to use his stove again!! Then it was all over with only took about 5-7 minutes to get them nice and toasty!

Amazing!!!!!!

Wednesday Morning

Yep, just this morning it happened.... a great story at The Hendo House!!!


I was sound asleep, The Hubs heard Gus puke on the floor(me still asleep) he gets up and makes sure the dog is okay and starts to clean the floor. I wake up to The Hubs yelling at the dog to stay. This is what I heard, "Stay, Stay on that rug." Now I know what he was talking about. We have a Hawkeye's rug on the floor in the kitchen. I just giggled to myself knowing that the dog wasn't going to stay there. At ALL.

So The Hubs comes back to bed, I asked him what happened? He said that he was trying to get Gus to drink something after he threw up, and he wouldn't drink. Then he said he tried to give him a treat to make him need something to drink and Gus wouldn't take it. To me it made sense(he didn't feel good, and just threw up. Hell no he don't want to eat something).

So I told him that makes sense what Toby just did. While The Hubs was cleaning the floor and Toby(not sick) walked into the bed room and came up to my head, put his head on the bed with a treat hanging out of the side of his mouth. I of course asked Toby what was wrong, he just looked at me. Then he very gently put his treat on the ground and put his head back on the bed. I asked if he was sad because his dad(The Hubs) was yelling at his brother(Gus). He looked at me, and said, "Yes, Mom please help". Yes, Yes, I know the animals don't talk, but they give looks and we all know what they are saying!!!

It was a crazy morning, this all happened a couple hours before we got up for work, by the time I got up the dog was fine and wanted to go run around in the back yard. This I would say is a typical day at The Hendo House!

Have a great Wednesday!!
