Scrape scrape

I had to go get my annual tonight. I usually hate the thought of going there because sometimes they aren't so pleasant, but this woman (whom I've had before and wasn't very pleasant) was so nice. She made me feel really comfortable, and she answer some questions that I had about a "problem". She said I could either ignore it, or they could supplement me with estrogen, so I said I would just deal with it. There is no way I'm taking any more estrogen then I have to. The only slight problem was that she must have cut me with her little tool thingy because she said not to freak out if I have some bleeding. Oh well. Not like I'm not used to it by now.
Ok, I'm sure you've heard enough about feminine stuff now.

In other news, I found out that if I get my beloved externship over the summer (which seems to be looking more like I'll get it due to my "contacts"), they will resign me from my CA position, and when the summer is over, I will have to reapply for another CA position (which might not even be the same floor). I like my floor, so that makes the decision hard, but I was really looking forward to this externship. I get paid $10/hour to shadow a nurse all summer. It's good experience and looks really good on applications.

I've also been talking to the Dean about starting the MSN program early. It turns out, from what I understand, that I do not graduate early from the BSN, but I just start taking the MSN classes in the Fall along with the rest of my BSN classes. I realize that this is a shit ton of work, but I'm used to doing a shit ton of work all the time now, and these classes are online. Russell might have to get a better job because I doubt with all that that I will have any extra time for working, but if this is what I want to do, then I need to just go for it. I could wait, and do it after I graduate, but this is one semester quicker to being finished. I have a meeting with the Dean on Monday to discuss all of this and see what I need to do. I don't see how I wouldn't be a candidate. I've proved that I can balance work. Heck, right now I do school full time, work my ass off at Ruby, I'm married, and I've managed to get Bs and As in all my classes (mostly As in my clinicals)...I think I can handle it.

Bring it on, life. You can't bring me down.

The hubby watches Dawson's Creek!!

Just one thing for tonight...

Russell watches Dawson's Creek episodes with me every once in a while (until I keep watching and watching until he finally leaves), but tonight it was different. I actually got him INTERESTED in the show! He made the decision to watch the next one on the dvd instead of doing something else...lol. Too bad the next one was kinda boring, but still.

Park and Eat

I just can't stand it anymore!!
I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY ARE MAKING ME WAIT UNTIL 7.13.2007 TO SEE HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX!
I'm going to go crazy.
I think I'm starting to twitch.

OH, by the way...we are ALL going on opening night, and we're dressing up, so start thinking of who you want to be. I think we have Russell talked into being Hagrid, lol.


I ended up getting the living room clean tonight, but that was it. I got talked into heading over to Andi and Seese's to hang out for a while. We ended up going to Eat and Park (which I think should be called Park and Eat), and we had kick ass pumpkin pie and lattes. The woman put like a whole can of whipped cream on top. Now I have a tummy ache. Can you believe that they charge almost $3 per piece, but you can buy the whole damn pie for only $7?! If you have two people or more, it makes sense just to buy the whole damn thing and take the rest home, lol.


AWWWW...RUSTY JUST GOT HOME AND HE BROUGHT ME ROSES!!!!!
He's so sweet.
I asked him why, and he said "because you're beautiful".
*tear*
I'm a lucky girl.

Christmas presents

So far I have a few Christmas presents in mind to get people. I'm really excited! We're going to decorate this week, and that means I get to put my hot pink Christmas tree up!!! YAY!!
Russell's already let the cat out of the bag on one of the presents that he was getting me, and now he says he's not going to, but I want it. Boohoo. Here's the whole story:

I called a local store today to see if they had this thing that I wanted to get Andrea. Well, they did, and they put it on hold for me. Russell heard this conversation, and he says
"You bitch"
"What?"
"I was getting that for you as one of your presents!"
"Umm, this isn't for me..."

LOL! So, anyway, now he's mad at himself for telling me. Too funny.

In other news, I finished Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Yes, I have been reading it forever, but when you're in nursing school, there isn't much extra time for reading other than about nursing. Sooooo good...and sad. And now I keep thinking "OMG, I'm on the last book, and I'll be finished with it and die because I have to wait for the next one to come out! What am I going to do?!" So, I've read the first chapter of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. And now I'm even sadder that a whole other chapter is gone....gone! And I'm getting pissed having to wait until next summer to see the damn movie! UGH!

Well, I'm going to go make lunch. Laterz.

Computer trouble

I got very lucky today. We have been talking about wiping and redoing my computer for a while now because my World of Warcraft hasn't been running so swell and it has been getting errors a lot, and the computer has been spontaneously restarting....so, I burned all of my pictures, music, and word documents (along with some programs) that I wanted to keep onto cds so we would have them to put back on after the wipe. Well, my computer was acting even more crappy last night so we were planning on doing it this morning. I shut my computer down before I went to bed. I came in this morning to check weatherbug to see what the weather would be like today, but when I tried to turn it on, all there was on the screen was black and a message saying that there was an error with windows and that it needed repaired. Well, I lost everything (we might have been able to recover it, but it would have taken a while). So, we actually didn't have to wipe the computer because it was already wiped. Now it is new and fresh, but I'm now having to download every annoying update and program I want on it. Sucks much. We're thinking I had some kind of nasty virus or worm that had done a lot of damage, so I urge everyone of you to keep your virus checker updated and running often so you don't lose all your precious stuff on your computer.

Oh, and it's not fun getting a pt that weighs 400 pounds constantly ringing the call bell for people to come in and scratch her ass....
It was so bad even turning her that we needed at least 3 people and me putting all my weight into pushing her stomach over. It's a good thing the girls on our floor are buff.

Blah

I'm tired of working and schooling. I'm getting burnt out again. I love the nursing stuff, but there is only so much a girl can take. It hits me even more this weekend that I have off because I'm already thinking on Saturday about having to go back on Monday. My time off goes way to damn fast. I would like to be a home body for about a month, and I think that will get it out of my system. I think it's a good idea for Russell and I to barricade ourselves in the trailer for a month and do nothing but lay in bed, read books, play video games, watch tv, eat, do it, and repeat.

In other news, I actually cleaned my kitchen today in between laying on my sick ass and watching tv.

Pictures from girlies night in
















We did facials while drinking boone's farm out of the bottle with neon straws and watching "Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls". We also went to IHOP and harrassed Russell at Wal-Mart. It's a bit shocking to come walking up to someone with your arms full of boone's farm and a toilet plunger.

Dead body #deuce

I went to work yesterday hoping it was going to be a good day. But, when I walked in, I was informed that I was being pulled to the 5th floor which is MICU (medical intensive care unit). I started to freak a little because I had never been trained in an ICU. However, I marched my butt down there (by way of elevator), and they showed me the ropes a bit. I need to be learning this anyway because our cardiac intensive care unit will be opening soon. At times, it seems easier at ICU. All the machines take the vital signs (except temperature which you only take 4 hours anyway), so the CAs go around and write down vital signs off the monitor every hour. If someone poops the bed, then you help clean it up. Blah blah blah. I spent most of the time standing around because there wasn't much to do.

The CA beside me ended up having a patient die because they took them off life support. I poked my head in to be nice and see if I could help because in that situation, then more people the better. I wouldn't want to be alone. So I took the body bag in for them, and it was him, me, and the nurse. He face looked HORRIBLE! It was almost terrifying. And she was seaping stuff everywhere. She also kicked me. That's right. The were rolling her to put her in the body bag, and her leg kicked me. *sad face* Ugh, I was just sitting here in a daze reliving the moment. Anyway....

So, in better news, I absolutely loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove my hair. Love love love it. Best decision I ever made. I've been having people tell me that I even look more sophisticated...hmm.

Also, plans are in the process for a girly night this weekend with my two favorite girlies, Andi and Seese, so yay for that. Today is my last day of work until Wednesday. Yay me! I actually have time to get some much needed homework done this weekend. OH, and no class on Tuesday is a happy day for Tonya.
