Justin - March 2009
Yesterday the site got a lot of attention, thanks to the post on designmom.com.
We filled all the spots in 2 hours. Once it was announced on designmom.com the emails came pouring in
I Wrote a Little Poem - Jan 2009
Shadows by Jordan
It's dark, the camera is in.
There is nothing to see
except
shadows on the propofol
These numbers are our prison
Red; bound by ninety, over sixty
Eighty-eight for blue
Until
Revolt!
The numbers break free!
Blue tries sixty
White tries twenty
Where are you going? Come back here!
Oh, he is blue now
then gray
then, strangely, pink again
I'm sorry ma'am, the numbers...
run away.
Now, they've left me too
except time.
She makes it better, worse
Takes them away, brings them again.
Jordan
It's great honey!
I like the way the poem ebbs and flows. It's almost tidal, like
breathing. Is that what you intended?
I love the last stanza. It really speaks to the relentless nature of
your job...every day different, but yet essentially the same- always
the numbers to watch. I was surprised to realize that when patients'
pressures and sats drop, they turn blue...grey...it should have been
obvious I suppose. Maybe it's one of those things you have to see with
your own eyes. I guess I imagine things happening so fast, and being
rectified equally as quickly, that there wouldn't be much of a change
in appearance. Too much TV?!

1. Viagra
2. Love - (just kidding. Already been done, like, a million times)
3. Ball point pens
4. The circus leaving town
5. An ode to duct tape

I loved it.....just like everybody else did. and i was so inspired I wrote a poem about my job too. I'm calling it "rainbows and cotton candy"

Great poem. I love this line.
This is a great poem, Jordan. I love your literary self--insightful and eloquent.
Amy
very nice, Jordan. Thanks for sharing. Write more. Write one about the fire.
And I loved Janna's assessment of the poem. I agreed with her. I like the last two lines and loved what Janna said about it.

I will write more. It takes me so long. Maybe an essay about the fire,
except I haven't found any profound insight into it yet.

And the Winner Is - Mar 2009
And the new Miss Hurricane for 2009 is contestant number 4 - Janessa Fisher!
It was an exciting night..we were so proud of her. I heard one lady say after the event was over..."as soon as Janessa played her violin, I knew it was over for the others!"
There were nine contestants: 3 singers, 1 piano, 1 flute, 1 French horn, 2 readings, and Janessa on the violin.
She looked beautiful, played beautifully, and had a sparkling personality.
Some time I hope Jenni will blog about the interview, and the evening. Janessa also won: talent, poise and appearance, and interview.
Here's a couple of pictures from the night.
we are very proud of Janessa, but we are equally proud of each of our children and grandchildren.
I just wish that we lived closer so we could share in their events also. So, move here!

Janessa, What did they give you? I hope a new car. Or at least some college money.
Oh yeah, and what did you play and was it accompanied?

| Hi, You have been nominated by faculty as a potential convocation speaker! This is an invitation to submit a written speech for consideration. The speeches will go through an evaluation process and then a selected group will be invited to give their speech in person to a committee who will then choose a student to give their speech at College of Nursing convocation on May 7. Please let me know if you would like to accept this invitation. You would need to submit the written copy by Monday, March 16 and then be ready if selected, to give it in person the following week. I look forward to hearing from you. Congratulations for your nomination. Carrie Radmall |

Mom,
A long time ago I sent an email to everyone saying why I didn't like politics, making a reference to how Larry Echohawk didn't become govenor in Idaho because he was democrat but he is a Mormon, and how people think more along party lines then reason, and I gave an example of how the media isn't honest in their reporting giving the example of the gun showdown back east somewher.
