Going Nowhere Fast

Today marks the 20th birthdays of both Mary and Shannon, best wishes to both of you and because both of you are at home, I hope your moms made you delicious cake!  Right now, Claire, Courtney, and I are hanging out at the Park Ridge Public Library.  We are not getting a lot done but we can attribute that to our teacher that assigned a project that is virtually impossible to complete.. thanks Jenmy, we owe you one.. NOT.  But this library reminds me of so many different times.  As a child, I loved the library.  Most of you are well aware that I am a complete dork and love to read so I'm a big fan of the library but not today.  It also reminds me of that babysitting class I took in the basement.  I was so shy that I wouldn't answer one question and almost hyperventilated when we were learning CPR I was so nervous (that wasn't the only time.)  Junior year of high school in my PE Leaders gym class we had a CPR unit.  Our teacher, decided for the final test he would randomly pick one student from the class to demonstrate and we would all be graded on that performance.  Naturally I was nervous due to the fact that I fold under pressure.  Any one sitting near me knew just how nervous I was.. you think my hands sweat normally, you should have seen me then.  My entire shirt was wet from sweat and I was physically shaking.  Luckily, I was too short to be seen (the one time it has come in handy being short) and someone else was picked.  This year, I had to get re-certified in CPR and I did it online.  Is that legal? Debatable for sure but oh well.. I'm pretty sure I would be able to save most of you :)  A little off tangent from the library but I needed that.  Hope the rest of you aren't doing homework on this unusually warm Monday but stay inside because there's a tornado warning.. be safe!
