Day Off!
Hubby and I both had today off!
Side note: It's funny how I am now inspired to make use of my days off, whereas before employment, I was content to sit around the house and do a whole lot of nothing.
Today we went to Indiana Beach. It was the best day to go, because there were only four other people there, besides the people working the rides. So we rode everything without waiting in line! We also had the obligatory corn-dog, followed by the obligatory elephant ear. Yum! And, after playing several of the arcade games, we walked away with a ton of loot! We got: tiny stuffed dolphin (to match the tiny stuffed dolphin I have hanging from my rear-view mirror) (thanks Zinger!), a dragon fly glider, a spider that grows to 600% of its original size when placed in water (may take up to 72 hours to reach full size), a stuffed rose, a porcupine ball, a lighter (it was either that or batteries), and matching skull rings for Hubby and I. We put on our skull rings for the ride home, and sometimes we made them kiss.
Then we stopped at this place in Lafayette that is selling books for amazing prices. We each got 3 books, and our total was $33! Hubby got 3 hardcovers! And they were new books! It was awesome! (Mom- in case you are wondering where this heaven is, it is in the same plaza as PetSmart.)
So, about work. It is great! I have been there for over a week now, and they have already given me 2 days off! (Wait. Is that bad?)
Anyway, I really am having a great time. I still find it hard to believe that I am getting paid to wear scrubs and play with animals. And I barely even mind taking their temperature. Unless they have a lot of fur on their heiny, and then it gets kind of gross. And the people I work with are pretty great too! And! I found out that I don't mind getting up early in the mornings, because I really look forward to going to work! (Dad, I am really sorry if you are at this very moment on your way to the hospital because you just had a heart-attack after reading that last sentence.)
It is really funny when I get home from work, because I have to run to the closet and change before Zoe has a chance to sniff me. Otherwise, I get attacked! She looks at me the way I would look at Hubby if I found lipstick on one of his shirt collars.
The cats don't really care who I have been spending my time with, just as long as they still have food and a clean litterbox.

Next time I want to play over-price amusement park games I'm taking you with me. I NEVER get that much loot. I want to know your secrets!
Awesome. I am SO glad you're loving the job. Don't let Zoe give you any lip - she can't fulfill your needs anyway. >;)
