I'm Baaaa-aaacckk!

Wow, I've been busy, no time to be nosing into other people's lives, just trying to keep my own in order. First things first, I'd like to thank Shari for giving me my very first 'blog award.' It meant a lot to me, I even figured out how to put it up on my page-- Yay for me!

Friday were the engagement pictures. It was the coldest, most miserable day ever. I sure hope my photographer can edit goose bumps out of the pictures. I was trying to smile but my lips were quivering, so we'll see. The park pictures we originally wanted did not happen. Grass, mud and high heels just don't go well together. I'll post some of the pics up when I get them.

Friday night was pumpkin carving time! We love carving pumpkins, we're such children.

Saturday we took the plunge. We had bought a piece of land to build a house but could still back out. Saturday we met with the builder and entered their contract. Construction should begin on our new, beautiful house in just a few weeks. Closing is April 30th, 2008! We get married June 7th, 2008--- Let's just say I can hardly wait for June 8th, 2008, we should finally be settled! I do believe I'm up for quite the roller coaster ride over the next 8 monthes or so.

Saturday night we had a few people over. Of coarse, you had to wear a costume, it is the weekend before Halloween people! I just HAD to be a Queen Bee, it suited me all to well! It's funny, my best friend and I (the fallen Angel in the pic below) never tell eachother what we're going to be for Halloween, we just love the surprise. A few years ago we showed up in the exact same costume, AND the exact same shoes from a different store! This year it was odd as well, we both wore tu-tu's and wings (mine were broken by this time of the night).

This of coarse meant that the rest of the weekend was spent recovering. It seems like drinking wipes me out anymore-- I'm getting so old! I just about couldn't get off the couch on Sunday. We didn't get out of the house until about 5:30 that evening! Pathetic!

Hope this catches everyone up! I should be working the rest of the week so more exciting posts to come I'm sure!

Ahhhhh! The Scale!

I'm getting married soon, in 8 months to be more precise. I've spent a fortune on a photographer, and don't want to have fat pictures. I know I'm supposed to care about how my fiance thinks I look and my friends etc...but I really don't, those people will love me. I just don't want to see those pictures. So, I've been attempting weight watchers for like the 20th time in my life. It worked well at first, then I fell off the wagon for my best-buds wedding and never got back on. Miraculously I have continued to lose a few pounds, I have no idea how, but I'm not complaining. It doesn't really help me though because I just keep eating whatever I want since I'm still losing, but I know it will catch up. Well this is my witnessed vow, to everyone, I will be back on the diet-wagon tomorrow! Wish me luck!

Asshole!!

So this sick, fat asshole needs help because he's pissed all over himself in the chair. Okay with me, I'm used to this. So two of us are lifting his big ass up, not an easy job to start with. He won't help AT ALL. We're completely holding him up, cleaning his smelly piss. As I try to lower him back into the chair it's not the smoothest landing, nothing horrible, but I just can't lower 300 pounds slowly into the chair. So he yells at me, "Stop throwing me!" I tell him I'm just trying to help, but since he won't help at all, I did my best. He shakes his fist in my face and tells me "You better watch it or I'll have your job." This shouldn't bother me, but it does. It gets your blood boiling and I just felt like yelling "You want my job?? You wanna wipe ass for a living, oh wait. You can't have my job because you can't even wipe your own ass!" These grouchy old people. You think when you become a nurse someone might say 'thank you' like once a week even...

Dreams

Okay, 2 posts in like 2 hours. I'm really bored at work-I admit it! I've decided I'm going to start waking up and journaling/blogging my dreams. They're so vivid, yet so odd. I forget them in 30 minutes time of being awake. Many times I wake up and tell them to my fiance, he remembers what I told him and remindes me later the craziness of my thoughts. For instance, a few weeks ago I was in a wedding. I stayed in a hotel room about 30 minutes from our home. We had not seen each other all week due to our opposite schedules, so he drove up to stay with me. After quite a bit of drinking, awesome sex and passing out, I woke up not sure where I was. His back was to me, I proceeded to shake him, wake him up and ask him, "Who are you?" The second he said something it all came back to me, he was my FIANCE of 7 years! I have no idea where my brain was! I didn't remember it until the next day...so weird. I'm pretty sure that's not normal.

Work, Schmirk

Well, I have no idea where this blog may be headed, so bear with me (if anyone even reads this that is). I should be working, but I don't really feel like it. The thing about when you're busy is it's easy to keep on going, but when we're slow like this and I've been surfing the Internet for hours, it's hard to get back on track. I know, I shouldn't complain about surfing the net for hours. It hasn't been a bad night all in all. I've had 1 poopie bed, not bad at all.

This weekend was pretty uneventful. My fiance (Michael) and I are building a house-our first house. Very exciting for us, but also means staying in and saving money-yuck! For the first time in months we didn't spend ANY money. We even asked his parents to go out with us Friday so we could have some good dinner, horrible I know. I just have to keep thinking of our new house every time I don't get that new shirt or buy something in every isle at Target. It will all pay off I know.

Ugh, the beginning of a long week. Working 4 days this week. Not a lot to most, but too many for me. Have engagement pics on Friday, very exciting-I think. I hope we can smile and kiss for 2.5 hours, kind of a long time after 7 years. I'm sure it will be fun though.

I'm off to do some work, sorry about the rambling. Pages and pages and pages of signing my name repetedly here I come!

Something happy

We go day to day, doing what we do everyday, the same things over and over for most of us. But from time to time something random and so minute makes us so happy. Well guys, I seriously suggest the Yankee Candle car freshner Spiced Pumpkin. I've been happy since I hung it in my little car. Why? I have no idea. I am one of those people that smells make memories come flooding back for me. This car freshner will make every happy Fall memory float around in your car. You thought I was going to say something big and serious-but it's the weird small things that float my boat so easily. I love it! Go get one.

Here I go

I'm a new blogger-I said it. I logged onto yahoo and there it was. A woman who was 108 years old and blogging. I figured if she could do it so could I. Not sure who will think that my life is interesting, but I'll give it a go. I'm twenty-something and living the dream. My fiance and I are in the process of building a house, planning a wedding and starting our life together. Stressful. I'm a nurse on the night shift, 7 pm to 8 am. I work in critical care, some nasty stories to say the least. You can just scroll through them if you wish. I sit in a nurses station with women that I know the ins and outs of their relationships, sex lives, bank accounts etc...I love that. I do not love keeping people alive and in misery, which is what I am doing right now actually. Oh well, what are you gonna do?? You get immune to things around here I guess. My mom thinks I'm cold hearted, but you just can't go around the place crying. Enough of that. I'll get some pics up of my beautiful family soon, can't do that at work right now. I've got to actually go get some work done-charts, charts, charts. Yay.
