"Please tell me you have heard of the Beatles?! I mean REALLY? You've never heard of the Beatles?!" --> This is what I wanted to shout at one of my co-workers today.
She actually just found out who the Beatles were TWO years ago. When I then asked another coworker about whether or not she knew who they were she said "Yes but I can't name any of their songs. I know the songs are theirs if I heard them but don't know any actual names of the songs." When I asked "Do you at least know the names of the Beatles?" Her response was "No, well, I know who Paul McCartney is."
I'm saddened by this. I know not everyone likes the Beatles or their music nor do I expect them to but I think they need to know who they are and their songs. I can't believe some people!
P.S. At least she knew that Lisa Marie Pressley was married to Michael Jackson. FAIL!

Wait? 2 posts in one day? Are you feeling okay?
I'm feeling fine but Jason's not.
Story:
I was at work today and it was going just like a regular day at work when I get a phone call. When I say I got a phone call, I mean the operator went over the walkie talkie and said "Lauren you have a phone call on 33."
Thinking it was just a coworker that was off or guest that got my name, I answer the phone "This is Lauren, Can I help you find something?" To my surprise, it's Jason. He never calls me at work. He would just texted me if he needed to tell me something. So he says to me "Hi Lauren. It's Jason. Are you able to get out of work for a little bit?" I ask "Why?" obviously. (I don't exactly have a job where I can just say "Hey I need to leave for a littlte bit.") He says "I've been in an accident and I need you to take me to get my shoulder checked out." (and since it was while he was on his job, they require a drug test, too.) So I put him on hold and call my boss and ask her quickly. She says that it is ok and I get back on to let him know I'm leaving in about 5 minutes.
So I leave and go to where Jason is at. (side note: Jason is a Frito Lay vendor. He goes to 4 different stores here in town and delivers and stocks Frito Lay chips. He drives one of the bigger Frito delivery trucks and that is what he was driving at the time of the accident.) Some lady had ran a red light and slammed right into him on the passenger side right up by the tire, bending the fender at a complete 90 degree angle, bending the wheel well and after hitting the truck so hard, her car's backside spun around and hit the side of his truck. He didn't even see the car coming. Luckily, he had 2 eyewitnesses that vouched for him that he had the green light and she clearly ran the red light without even slowing down (she was probably going 30 or so). Also luckily, he was wearing his seat belt.
To the point where he got hurt: He messed up his right shoulder in the accident. He had his hands on the wheel (obviously) and with the impact his arm tensed and his shoulder took the impact of it. I knew exactly what he meant since I have had a similar shoulder injury. They took x-rays and didn't see anything wrong, so that's good, also. Now, per doctor's orders, he can't lift, push or pull over 10 lbs or reach higher than his shoulders. That's basically his whole job! He has to go to physical therapy for a week, at least. Hopefully, just taking it easy, his shoulder will start to feel better.
Sorry that this was such a long post. I just wanted to document it more for myself.

A new post? What!?
So I have attempted to post to my blog in the past and I was looking through to edit some of my posts and came across this. I never finished writing the whole post but I still think it's funny and needed to be published. Enjoy!

So I told Jason that I was going to post a blog about what we did yesterday. We both had the day off so of course we cleaned but more than anything we made each other laugh. Jason and I had a dance party to Christmas music on the music station on cable. Then we pushed Jason down the stairs in a box trying to slide down like in a sled.
I know. A year and a half later? I was writing this 2009 post 3 weeks after moving into our house. I had actually forgotten about this and when I read it, it made me smile to remember. I guess that's all I need to do. Just post what makes ME smile. I don't need to do it for anyone else (although I don't mind others reading it). I need to post so that I remember!
That's all.

Happy Birthday, Brother!
I love my brother. And I think of him and his cute little family all the time. I wish I was there in AZ to give him a huge hug for his birthday (and get him a good gift as well). So, Dallin, although I live forever away, think of this post as a huge hug from me. Maybe Stacey can help me out with that in person. I love you, Dallin! I'm glad that you are my older brother. You are a great friend and a great father. I love your sense of humor and your infectious laughter. I love your passion for life and love to listen to you talk. It's great to hear the passion in your voice when you talk about something you really care about. You are a wonderful brother! I love you! Just remember I'm always a phone call away! I hope you had a wonderful birthday.

My Niece, Jersey Jean....

I love you, Dallin!
I just wanted to post a little blog and let my brother Dallin know how much I love him and am thinking about him on his birthday. I love you Dallin. I wish I was there to give you a big hug. I miss you. I wish that we talked more. I know I live far away but that doesn't mean I don't care about you and your cute family. I hope you know how much you mean to me. I feel like we have always been a bit closer even though we don't talk as much; like we think and feel the same. I know I may not have always been the best sister to you and just so you know it was all because of me. I'm sorry. I love you so much, Dallin! I know I have distanced myself from you and the family in the past and it hurts me now to think it may have hurt our relationship, but I am still your sister and you can still call and talk to me anytime for advice or a listening ear. (Sorry that my post will show up as posted on Oct. 8th and your birthday was yesterday the 7th. It took me a while to type because I had to stop crying. I guess I'm just missing all my family. ) WOW! I really know how to write a depressing blog! I love you Dallin. Don't ever forget that. You are a wonderful brother and I wouldn't trade you for anyone else. Happy Birthday
