We had our "Operation Frosty" this weekend... I put the pictures I took on Ofoto.com (Our more professional photographer hasn't put his pics up yet.) The first half of the pics are from Friday night when some of us Senior Corps and some Youth Squad Members went to the local Boy Scouts' Holiday party to hand out gifts (their pinewood derby cars) and collect the toys they collected for us to give to charity. I'm the elf with "the bumps on her chest" as one of my Chiefs put it... The second half of the pictures are from Saturday's Operation Frosty - we made over 75 stops during the day Saturday with 2 Chiefs cars, 5 ambulances, and a van pulling the trailer with Frosty and the presents we collected. Each child we saw got a little goodie bag with a beanie Frosty or Rudolph, candy, stickers, and some face time with Santa. I'm the blonde in the white sweatshirt - accosting Rudolph in one of the pics and with another EMT on my lap in the ambulance in another pic. (ok guys, QUIET, hehehe).

If that weren't so true it wouldn't be nearly as funny. WE are just all sick sick people. But we're happy that way.

Oh that was great!!! Gave me the extra boost I needed to get through the hoidays and not have to commit myself because I am going more crazy than my patients. Now when I am driving down the road at 3 o'clock in the morning to go to yet another, you should have called a taxi, call I can sing this to myslef and smile. Thanks!!! :D
