I Survived!

B and I got up at 3AM today. B had to be to work by 4:45 AM for the sales. We decided to try our luck at Kohls and then I went to BestBuy (by myself).

Kohls was a crapshoot. B then went to work, and I TOTALLY ROCKED at BestBuy.

All I can say is that B is damn lucky that I am so good.

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. Now it is Christmas time.

Bring it on.

59

Today is my mom's 59th birthday.

Happy Birthday!

Below is a photo of her as a child. I am not sure of her age, but she sure is cute!

And below here is another picture of my mom that I have ALWAYS loved. I don't know much about it, but I remember whenever I have seen it I always think about her hair and how good it looks. It also looks especially red in this photo.

My mom, is gorgeous.

I miss her very much. I want her to know how wonderful she is.

I would love to talk about her great success story; her family.

Love you mom! Hope you are partying with all of Heavens finest!

So I Guess I am Boring

I got up today and did dishes, made coffee, made malt-o-meal, ate malt-o-meal... just did all of the mundane normal morning stuff.

I then sat down and blog hopped. I just kept pushing the 'next blog' button. I have now come to the conclusion that:

I am boring.

Many people might think that this is good. Most of those people are drama queens and kings who crave and need constant emotional stimulation.

But here are more reasons for why I do indeed know that I am boring:

I am almost 30 and have not finished school yet. I work as a nurse in the same place with the same people and am severely under-appreciated/under-paid for a job that really is hard.

I don't have kids, I don't have parents... and I miss my parents more than ever lately.

I guess I need a pity party which is what I am having.

I just can't help but notice that so many people make a difference.

Me? I just exist.

Most of the time I feel like an after-thought. Every now and again, and usually at work, I know that I am needed.

I guess this all boils down to (really) missing my parents, and lately my dad.

He always called and usually made me feel that I was doing the right thing and was at the right time and place in my life... at least that is what I remember.

At any rate, I hope all is good with everyone and that you all have a good Thanksgiving.

B and I will celebrate that day together with our pups.

The turkey is optional.

Much love.

Sorry for the boo-hoo blog.

Not Surprised of this Quizzes Results!

My Step Mom has Struck Again!

In the mail the other day we received a ticket from our post office telling us to pick up a package. It was from my Step-Mom, she always sends me the nicest/cutest stuff!

She sent me my first, one and only, Thanksgiving decoration:

Pretty darn cute huh!

Below here is a photo of Arnold. He is still alive. I just wanted to put a picture of him up!

What kind of puppy mom would I be if I neglected to put a photo up of Gordon? Answer: a BAD puppy mom! So here is the other pup!

Below here is a new scentsy that I purchased for our bedroom. It is a medium sized warmer and is super cute. Even B says that it is a good warmer. I picked this one because I knew he would like it... and I was right.

At this moment we are melting the scent 'cozy fireside'. It is definitely one of my favorite scents!

In other news.

I have been having super busy days at work lately but they also seem to be never-ending! Every day that I have worked this week I have either had a student or been training someone. Tomorrow will be my first and only shift this week where I get to actually work alone! I am very excited. Normally I don't mind having students, but all of the sudden another school decided to send us their students too, so every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I have had a student. It used to just be Fridays. As the semesters near an end though, the clinical shifts stop.

This week I have been training a male nurse. He is egotistical and EXTREMELY silent gassy in the mornings. On Tuesday while training, I had to leave the med carts 4 times because he was laying some gnarly smells that practically bit my nose off!

And NO he won't be reading my blog, so PLEASE nobody call B or me and tell me to take this off! This is the latest going ons in my life... I don't want to short change anyone on my experiences.

In other news, I am making Christmas presents and they are going very well!

Love to all!

A Scary Situation!

This is Arnold. He is one VERY sweet pup! He gave me a scare of a lifetime today!

Here is the story.

I got home from work today. I came in and took the dogs outside. We came back in the house and I then decided to take some pizza boxes to the garbage. When I came back in, I snuck up on the dogs and scared them! That was funny. I laughed and I am sure that they were doing the doggy version of laughing. We then all ventured into the kitchen where I got them a doggy treat. They had been good boys while we were at work, so they got a treat.

As they took their treats from my hands, I turned to go upstairs and make our bed when I heard a strange noise come from Arnold. It sounded like he couldn't breathe! :(

I was super scared. Then he tried to scratch at his neck and mouth.

I quickly dropped everything I was holding and slapped him on the back of the head and neck. His treat had been lodged in his throat. The slapping LUCKILY brought it up to the back of his mouth.

I pulled the treat out, and he happily grabbed the slimy treat from my hand and ate it.

I was scared as crap that he was hurt, but happy as crap that I saved him.

I dunno what I would do without that little guy.

I feel very lucky today.

I LOVE Our Boys

While I was at work today, B stayed home and did some house work, but he also caught these cute pictures of our puppies. They look like they are holding hands... well, paws.

I love these last two photos of them!

I am so happy they get along!

Things have been good and boring up here in our neck of the woods. We really haven't done too much. I have been working on Christmas presents and just hanging out.

B keeps reminding me to get registered for next semester, I know I need too, and I will... but I really don't want to. I am so close to graduating... but so far too.

I dusted/washed our room from ceiling to floor on Friday. It was my day off and I spent it doing laundry and cleaning... typical.

So as you can see we are two very boring people. I kind of like it that way.

Love to everyone!
