And another thanks to !legally Blonde for this “beautiful” award! I have been really busy with work these last… Read More Two Awards (awww, thanks!)
My phone is possessed, and has been for the last 2-3 months. It has a touch screen panel, and sometimes I’ll start to scroll through for something, only to have it go berserk and start scrolling through the screens at a mile a minute. I have to shut the phone off, then start all over… Read More My Phone is Possessed
This is what happens when I decide to make myself a snack, then start to check emails. I get so involved in reading stuff online that I completely forget about the poor bagels in the toaster oven, and only remember them when the smell of smoke starts wafting upstairs!
Merry Christmas everyone! I’m really busy right now, so this is a short post. I promise that once things calm down I’ll write some more. Suffice to say that it’s been a crazy few days! And for those of you curious people out there who want to know where Santa is AT THIS VERY MOMENT,… Read More Merry Christmas!
Yay! Angie over at Psycho Hairapy gave me this blog award… Thank you so much, Angie! The award says that “This blog invests and believes in proximity – nearness in space, time, and relationships. These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind of bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes… Read More Another Award!
It started snowing in our area of Massachusetts around 1:30 on Friday afternoon, and it basically continued for the next 48 hours. It finally slowed up and eventually stopped all together yesterday late afternoon, but the forecast is calling for more snow! I think it’s safe to say that we will be having a White… Read More Snow Photos
Today was our 4 year anniversary! It’s hard to believe that Chris & I were married on this day back in 2004 – time has flown by. We’ve been through many changes over these last 4 years. We’ve moved a total of 4 times (yikes!), I became a nurse, Chris became a professor, we’ve traveled… Read More Happy Anniversary 🙂
Well, the good news is that I made it through hearing all of the assignments without bursting into tears. The not-so-good news? I was assigned to an acute inpatient women’s psychiatric floor. Psych nursing is not my favorite type of nursing, and I much prefer male patients to female patients. So, to be assigned to… Read More Assignment.
You may remember me talking about how I’m in this 3 month rotation program for newly graduated RNs. Well, the program is almost over, and we’ll find out about our permanent placement by the end of the day tomorrow. I’m on pins & needles, I’m excited, I’m nervous, I’m worried… basically, I’m just going crazy… Read More Waiting!
I don’t normally enter blog giveaways, but I decided to enter Erika’s wedding-related post giveaway, and I won! Thank you Erika for hosting this, and for the cool stuff! Here’s some images of what I won… A $10 Starbucks gift card – yummy! A blumebox vase in jet-set black Thanks so much, Erika! If you… Read More Yay for Blog Giveaways!
My posts over the next few weeks will be somewhat random and scattered, so please bear with me. My work schedule is going to be kind of crazy right up till we leave for St. Thomas, and there’s also the fact that the next few weeks will be jam-packed with activities: Christmas-related stuff, our anniversary… Read More Scattered
I am finished with all of my Christmas shopping! At least, I think that I’m finished. I have a tendency to say that I’m done, only to wait till a few days before Christmas and decide that I need to get one last thing for someone. But this year, I really think that I’m finished.… Read More Christmas Shopping
My feet hurt. This may be due to the fact that I’m on them all the time, walking (or jogging) up and down the unit hall. And it may be due to the fact that my current pair of shoes is over 2 years old. Either way, it doesn’t really matter – part of being… Read More New Shoes (but they aren’t very pretty…)
We’re going to need to board Bear while we’re in St. Thomas (January 3rd – 10th). Being new to the area, I wanted to make sure that we selected a good place. I don’t need to put my dog in one of those places where they’re on carpeted floors, watching flat-screen doggy TV, but I… Read More Compatibility Appointment
This song was on Chris’ Pandora playlist the other day. I liked it so much that I investigated a little further and found out that it’s by Matt Nathanson off his “Some Mad Hope” album. I downloaded it off Napster and have been listening to it for the last day or so, and I really… Read More Come On Get Higher
I just wanted to share with all of you my distaste for the common cold. It keeps you up at night, makes you all stuffy, blocks your ears up, and you have a constant run of fluid coming out your nose and down the back of your throat. Yep – I have a cold. I’m… Read More The Common Cold
Bama Belle over at Bama Belle in the Big City tagged me! I’ve been following her blog for a little while now, and I really enjoy reading about all of the stuff that goes on in her life. In particular, I’ve liked hearing about all of the insane things that people do in the publishing… Read More TAG – I’m It!!
I’m in this 3-month-new-RN-rotation-thing at the hospital where I work. It’s a brand new program that started September 29th and will finish on January 2nd. So far, I’ve rotated to acute inpatient psychiatry, urgent care, the spinal cord injury unit., and transitional care. I’ve attended workshops, conferences, rounded with the IV team, worked days, evenings,… Read More Rotating
At the moment, I’m reading “This Present Darkness”, by Frank Peretti. I’ve never read it before, even though it’s like over 20 years old and was really popular when it first came out. Anyway, I’m really enjoying it. Have any of you ever read this book?
This story is long, but it’s funny, ridiculous, and has a happy ending! Yesterday, Chris got a free 1lb box of 36 dark & milk chocolate truffles. Boy, was he happy 🙂 He was so happy that he opened up the box and promptly ate 5 of them. Then, he was called away from the… Read More The Most Expensive Box of Free Chocolate. Ever.
