A 12-hour shift in the ER has nothing on this two year old! We spent pretty much the whole day playing and we had a great time. Here he is double fisting technology with his favorite aunt Toni. He's quite the pro. By the end of the day I was literally physically exhausted from trying to keep up with the little energy ball, but there really is nothing better and I couldn't have been happier!
Today I met my friends from nursing school for a fabulous lunch at Firehouse. It was fantastic as always. And it was extra special to be able to see everyone, it's been a long time since we've all been together for anything. We did miss Danielle though, who was in the hospital with a kidney stone during her 36th week of pregnancy. Poor miserable girl, I felt so bad. But we took her flowers and told her that would go to lunch another day with her when she's feeling better. Loving spending time with family and friends, there truly is nothing better!
The highlights of today included starting the morning with my favorite Boston at the library. Then we went to lunch at Chili's where I devoured an entire plate of southwest eggrolls... delicious!!! Then we did a girl's afternoon getting pedicures, it's kind of become a tradition every time I come home. And who doesn't love getting your feet spoiled, even if it is snowy outside?!
I've been waiting for this moment for the past 2 weeks! Dad is opening his present, the best present I think I have ever gotten anyone: a game worn Bobby Wagner jersey. He played at Utah State and is a rookie with the Seahawks this year. Dad loves it, and he deserves it. He's the greatest dad ever!
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go. I'll be home for Christmas for the first time in about 10 years. I have 1 bag of just presents, another bag of clothes. Thank goodness bags fly free on Southwest. I can't wait to see my family and be able to spend 9 whole days with them. And of course I've missed my beautiful mountains, and can't wait for a gorgeous white Christmas. There's nothing like flying into the beautiful mountains covered in snow in Salt Lake.
Today Christmas came early! Janette's son Kenton came to bring us leftover food from Barbeque Pete's where he works. It wad AmAzing!!!
So... the world didn't end. Therefore I had to go to work. And I wanted to share that it's not so much a biological odor eliminator as it is a 'make it smell like lemon poop and lemon vomit' spray.
Best mail day ever! And a special shout out to my mommy for her birthday. Love you mom!!!
Happy wrapping day!! I had to run to target today to get wrapping paper and bags... also found the 3rd and 4th seasons of bewitched on DVD... the rookie of the year... Willy Wonka... a new Starbucks cup... and refresher via. Good day!
Today's bookstore Christmas gift to keeper ratio... 2:5 as in two for you, five for me :)
So, when you take the last flight out after a football game that you flew in for, the airport is REALLY empty!! And creepy. The security to passenger ratio is 12-1!
This little guy makes my day!! I flew yo Boise today to meet my family and see Utah State play in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.
Happy 12-12-12!!! Tonight after my weekly dinner with Mandi, we went to see the lights at Coulon park across the street.
Just a lil bit uh chicken fried without the cold beer on a Monday night... enjoying my ME day watching the American Country Awards.
Work and crafting, crafting and work... excited for my Christmas projects to be finished!
Do you see that bright thing in the sky? It was gone after 3 minutes. Not exaggerating. Wind, rain, and dense clouds 3 minutes after.
Woke up at 1pm. Had to turn the light on in the living room. This is why I hate Seattle winters. Only six months of dense cloud-covered darkness to go...
Enjoying a little Christmas festivities at time and a half... working on my day off :)
Was going to go to a tree lighting tonight, but it's pouring buckets. So instead I'm going to bed. And I'm happy about it :)
Today's work project... that's a lotta braid. I think it may be time to get my hair thinned again...
What happens when you realize you don't know how to stop the knitting? Hint: the answer is not just pull the needles out and tie a knot...
This is what happens when you've bought clothes and underwear instead of doing laundry. Eventually, your clothes outgrow not only the laundry basket, but your closet as well. It's mostly scrubs, bit as you can see, I clearly have plenty more clean land hung up ready to go...
The remains of our 8-hour feast at work. Yes the remains, as in what's left AFTER we've eaten for eight hours already.
I love vacation, but I can't tell you how glad I was to come home to this... after an 8-hour shift.
Welcome to Charleston! Time for some southern bbq, then me and the mother are going to the last Twilight movie :)
Glad these babies were handy. I forgot I had traded a shift at work today and told a girl I'd work for her. I was in the middle of hammering down the details for my vacation this weekend when the charge nurse texted me to say they had me on the schedule at 1900. It was currently 2140. Woopsie.
I'm knitting!! I knit now!! One of the gals at work taught me. She happens to be left handed, so not only do I knit, but I knit left handed! :)
That moment in the elevator when you finally have silence at work for 15 seconds... aaahhhh..
I was reviewing my finances today and for the first time in at least a year there was no travel expenses on the pie. I was sad until I realized that would change next weekend when I get to fly away again :)
