December 12 - December 16

December 12^th I had class at 8 am. Dad got me up and made me breakfast and coffee while I was in the shower, isn’t he great? After I got ready and ate breakfast I headed to class. I had class until around 2. Then I went to Cheboygan and did some Christmas shopping. Then I headed home and unloaded the car. Dad and I went grocery shopping then we came back and unloaded the car and I hung out with my parents for a bit before going to bed kinda early.

Day 265:

my disco ball dog from VS.

Day 265:

love that sweater. :)

December 13^th I did some studying in the morning while I was baking cookies and brownies. I decided the night before that I wanted to take baked goods to our fire meeting. When I was done baking I got ready and went down to the hall. We did SCBA training. We got dressed in all of our gear, including the air tanks and were blacked out, then we went in with a partner and had to find the ‘victim.’ Our meeting room was set up with tables on their sides to simulate walls in a (very small) house. Zach and I did really well and I really enjoyed it. Billy went in with Dad and ended up tipping a table over on himself and broke his finger. Oops. When the training and bullshitting was done we headed home. I worked on studying and knitting for a while before going to bed.

Day 266:

Day 266:

December 14^th I spent my day studying and knitting. I had class at 630 so I had to get ready and go to class. I got Jeremiah’s hat almost done, so I took it with me to class to sew it. When I got to class Bill had the Fireman’s Ball flyer from last year there for me to look at and change to fit this year. So I did that then finished Jeremiah’s hat while waiting for class to start. Class was great. Afterwards, I needed gas , so I headed to the Holiday station to fill up. When I was done, my car wouldn’t start! So I called dad to see if he could help, it turned out the gear shift cable broke. Bah. So he took me home and we had the car towed. When we got home it was almost midnight, so I went to bed. Well that was until Katie called. I talked to her for a bit then went to sleep.

Day 267:

not sure why it's tilted like that. oops. but i love kazoozles. :)

Day 267:

my eyes were so blue that day.

December 15^th I spent my day studying. I had a ton of fire school homework, so I really needed to work on it. I had a firefighter’s association meeting, so I got ready for that and Dad and I went to Danny’s to pick him up. Since I was still working on Christmas gifts I knitted in the car on the way to the meeting in Mackinaw. The meeting went well and I am in charge of creating a website for the Association, when it’s done I’ll have a link to it, I promise. On the way home I knitted some more then studied and went to bed.

Day 268:

current project.

December 16^th I spent my day knitting and studying, I know my life is lame! :P I took a break to go down to the Fire Hall to run the air station and fill a few bottles up. Then I studied some more and went to go get the car when it was fixed.

Random Fact of the Day:

The roar that we hear when we place a seashell next to our ear is not the ocean, but rather the sound of blood surging through the veins in the ear. Any cup-shaped object placed over the ear produces the same effect.

"Knitting is very conducive to thought. It is nice to knit a while, put down the needles, write a while, then take up the sock again."
