it's Friday!!!!

Synda sent this to me this morning....
Olive and Ryland

all righty, another week down....YESSSS. Slept in a bit this morning because Ilin came with me to work...he's going snowboarding with his Aunt Dana and I didn't think it would be right to get him up at 245 am :)

Last night I went to Synda's to work on some knitting. I think we got a few good ideas for some goofy projects. Try to incorporate some other stuff into the knitting. We'll see how it goes. I widh I had more time to knit, but right now I don't.

Made it though both tests yesterday. I know I made a 90 or 91 on my pharm. test and I hope I did ok on the Med Surg. I'm guessing I passed (c), at least...at this point it really is about getting to the next level. I have some homework this weekend along with working. Let's see....one paper on Black-American food culture, finish my Cephalexin CTE, do something with K+, Na and something else? Lord...and then I'm done, well after I study.

I think Bobby picked up the primer for the "guest room" ie the dungeon downstairs. So that is on my list. and I MUST RUN if I'm going to do that race.

This afternoon is girls meeting afterwork, it will be nice to sit down and catch up with everybody. I heard Sara has a new BF and Anissa is getting to go on her vacation to NY, Titsy joined 24 HOUR Fitness for her next level of "the biggest loser" , and I'm sure Cathy has something exciting to tell us.

Well best get to work.

The 4 am post....

It's so quiet at the hospital at 345 am. The halls are empty and it is like a big cave. I always come in the through the ER doors and say HI to the admissions girls and they always have that look like they have surfed the entire internet and are drained of all brain power. I then walk toward ICU to clock in. This morning there was a person sleeping on the couch with Martha Stewart playing on the TV. They looked uncomfortable and I wished I could turn off all the lights for them, but they are programed to stay on. I'm sure the comfiness of the couch was the least of their worries. After I clock in I wonder down the hall past the coffee cart, past the quiet OR's and to my dark office...When I get in, I often want to just curl up and go back to sleep...but I don't have a pillow. I am going to put this on my list.

Sundays Schedule

So, Synda, we need to figure out a knitting time. I have 2 tests this week and my school schedule changed because I start CLINICALS...you guys better cross your fingers I don't kill anyone, or freak out.

Today is Sunday...and it's supposed to be nicer today...almost 60 so my goal is to run my 4 miles...try to cook some food for the week, study,do laundry and hang it on the line then at 3 we are to go to Jimmy and Leslies. Full schedule. I'm going to try not to grocery shop this week to save a bit of money. Eat what's in the fridge.

My knitting project I started are little double yarn arm bands with a star on them for Ilin. He picked them out, and I'm almost done with one of them.

Synda, make sure you take progress pictures of your stuff for the book...you know as you do things. just put them in a file then we can go thru everything later. My camera isn't working as fabulously as it should be, but oh well.

Talk to everyone later

The Sweater

here's the sweater...did it without a pattern...

the sleeves are funky..tried to make Bell sleeves but didn't Bell them enough...I'm gonna put a crochet edge on them, when I meet up with synda so she can help fix it.

Doesn't matter...Olive loves it!

unlocking your inner voyeur

I'm sure I've said this before, but I'll say it again,.......I'm a voyeur!!! I admit it! Sometimes I come to work, to do work,but instead I voyeur (if you can use this as a verb).

It usually starts quite innocently, then before you know it I have wasted 5 hours clicking thru blogs from people in Ecuador or Japan. I can't control myself when the little button at the top of the screen says "next blog". (go try it when you are done reading this) I look at other people's art projects, their poetry, pictures, family rants, even accidentally came across someones Kama Sutra how to pictures...note: be prepared to click quickly if you are at work, you never know what the next page holds, there is NO warnings.

I have always been like this, interested in others lives or secrets. I gave one of my secrets to a girl at work one day when she was really down in the dumps.

I said," you know what will cheer you up?"
She reluctantly said ,"What?"
"Go here, www.bch.org and click on the nursery page....
pick any day, any name and look...i swear to God you won't be able to do just one, unless there truely is something wrong with you....and if that's the case, call me back; I'll think of something else."

Well, about 25 minutes later she called me from her desk and when I picked up the phone, this is what I got

"I truely hate you."
"I have work to do and now I can't quit smiling or clicking to look at every day and every god awful outfit they subject these wee ones to!"

I know, it's minute, but it does make me happy...and my secret gang of baby spies....I actually got a call from the same girl yesterday when she knew I was having a bad day, she said ,

"I think the nursery is BROKE!!!!!" I can't get IN!!!!!"

Which of course made ME stop doing my work and head to the secret website to see if I could get in....thank god we figured it out and spent the next 40 minutes clicking thru February.

Now that is a true friend. Truely....

It goes on, I'm sure if I didn't think someone would know, I would try to click into peoples private lives. I have always wanted to look at the Tommy Lee/Pam Anderson video...but what if I can't stop? So I don't look at that type of stuff....not because I don't want to, but because I would be trying to see what they had for furniture, what was on their book shelf, what type of drinks they are drinking....you know the normal stuff.

I love that people like this http://needleworksinc.blogspot.com/ take the time to take pictures and post them....just for me...isn't it pretty?

Well, if you come across and nice voyeur topics...send them my way.
back to work.
