Happy Tuesday

Well, I had a very fun and eventful night. I am on night shift for the next couple days at work and I am trying to keep myself awake right now in these early morning hours. Last night I seem to have gotten assigned to the worst of the patients on the unit, one on a ventilator, one trying to die (but I saved her to get to see another sunshine), and a fresh lung surgery from the OR. Needless to say they kept me very busy all night, but in these early hours things have seemed to finally settle down (knock on wood). This morning once my shift is over I get to meet with the unit manager to plan what Holiday's everyone works as well as vacations.

This afternoon before I go back into work I might stop by and see FI's track team that he coaches at the first meet of the year. Hopefully it won't be to cold out, my buns freeze sitting on those bleachers.
Hope every has a nice day, I plan to sleep through most of it.

    Dana - Are you an ICU nurse? What hospital are you at?

    Well, FI and I have a BIG decision on our hands. We have been watching a litter of puppies for a while now and we called last night about our favorite one - who happens to be one of the last ones left to be adopted. Turns out, she's a little of a rambuncious one... which FI loves. Pretty sure we might go shopping for everything tonight and I might take off Thursday to go get her. It's a pretty far drive (4hrs) but I figure with a little music and a few Starbucks stops, it might actually be nice. We are just nervous about the change! We've been talking about getting a dog for about a year now. Has anyone gotten a puppy before? I grew up with dogs, but I have never had one in my adult life. Any tips/advice?

    Have a great day everyone!

    jl & g - I can't believe how soon your weddings are coming up! You must be so excited!!!

    & jl - Your shower sounds like it went great!

    Good Morning! I have meetings on the Hill most of the day today, so I won't be around a lot. :( I used my new Calphalon pan, from my amazing new set, for dinner last night! Love it! Other than that, hung out with Fiancé and our kitty who woke me up numerous times in the night. He's so cute that I end up indulging him and petting him for a while. Dana- your night sounds exhausting! I hope you can rest today! Linds- the shower was great!!! And it is getting close... I can't even look at the checklist because it stresses me out.

    Good morning!

    Yesterday the FI had the day off, and although I'm sure he played video games most of the day, he still did most of the laundry, cleaned and put away dishes, cleaned the cat litter, and vacuumed :-)  I ended up going home yesterday for lunch so we could eat together. So that was a nice break in the middle of the day. He fixed dinner last night too (steak and pasta, my favorites) and then I watched a Jane Austen movie the rest of the night. Not bad for a Monday night really.

    Dana- I really hope you are asleep right now! If you are back on here before 3 PM today then we are all going to yell at you to go back to bed!

    Lindsay- I would love to have a puppy! Unfortunately we aren't home enough to take care of a pup, and we don't have a yard for a dog to run around in. What kind of puppy are you guys getting?

    Jb- Our cats wake me up all the time. They are so cute and just want to be petted, but they make a LOT of noise between 4 to 6 am when they play. I really need to get a nice stratching post for them. They are tearing things up in the middle of the night!

    Good morning.  We had another dance lesson last night.  I'm getting excited for our first dance now.  It isn't choreographed, but we know how to do three different turns and the dip at the end of the song.

    Morning!
    Nothing too exciting last night - just class, then home to watch DWTS. My mom is taking our invites to the post office today!! WOOHOO!!!!! This makes me SO stinking happy - to finally have that project finished and off my hands... now we just have to wait for the RSVPs to roll in! FIs parents already sent theirs :) Other than that, FI came home last night and wasn't feeling well - he was sneezing all night long and hardly slept. I felt bad leaving him today, but I had to go into work... hopefully he is able to rest a bit before he has to go back into work this PM.

    Dana - I do not envy you working overnight! I don't know if I'd be able to do it! GL finishing up your next few days of PM shifts!

    lindsay - My FI and I got a puppy about 3 years ago and it was hands down, the best decision of our lives! She brings us so much joy, I just don't know what I would do without her! Don't get me wrong, it was hard work at first, but after the first few months everything was great. What kind of puppy is it? We have a Morkie (yorkie/maltese mix) and honestly the best thing we did was the decision to litter train her... yes, that's right, my puppy is litter trained. It is a lifesaver living in an apartment! They sell special dog litter and we just trained her to go in the litter box. Now, if I have a late night at school and FI has work or something we don't have to worry about her, nor do we have to spend money on a walker. Of course, this is only feasible if she's a small dog.... but just letting you know what worked for us! GL - you will NOT regret this decision :)

    J - Yay for using your new pans!!! I'm seriously hoping to get the Calphalon set we registered for!!!! :)

    Sari - that is so great that your FI did some work around the house! Oh what I would give for my FI to help out a bit...

    amy - dance lessons sound fun!!

    GMC-  dance lessons have been a lot of fun.  We've gone twice and my FI actually is enjoying them.  We are taking them in Chestnut Hill.  Some girl does them out of her house and she is great!

    GM Ladies! Last night was pretty uneventful again - we worked out together and folded/put away the laundry (worst part!!). We did watch the event which is one of our fave shows.
    This morning I got up at 5am (yuccckkkk) to work out again. I've decided to try the P90X lean program. FI has been doing P90X for the past month and I really see some awesome results... sooo I'm giving it a whirl. Let's hope I can keep up the motivation!

    dana - that sounds like a crazy night! get some sleep girl!

    lindsay - DF and I got a puppy (a little pug named Roxi) a little over a year and a half ago and I can't imagine our lives without her. She's a lot of work and the first 6 months can be tough but she seriously makes my day, everyday. She just cracks me up all the time, and she really brought DF and I closer together. Let me know if you have any questions, I'd love to help!

    jl - yay for the new calphalon pan!! make anything particularly yummy for din?

    sarilynn - i LOVE when df surprises me by doing household things... soo nice that you were able to go home over lunch! Do you live close to work?

    Amy - thats awesome about your dance lessons! what song are you dancing to?

    g - YAY YAY YAY for your invitations going out!! You have to be incredibly proud of yourself.. that is awesome! your guests are really going to love getting such beautiful invitations in the mail!!

    Good morning ladies!! Last night was pretty relaxing.  FI and I ran a few errands to include stopping at Michael’s to pick up some DIY project supplies.  FI is soooo friggin’ cute there.  I think he likes Michael’s as much as I do!  Lol  We then watched DWTS.  I heart Hines Ward.  All in all a great evening but….I fell off the healthy wagon with a thud right in front of Aiello’s Pizza!!  I almost feel guilty for saying it, but OMG!!!  It was sooooooo yummy!

    Linds- I have had dogs (and cats too…although FI is allergic to cats, so no cats in Pittsburgh) my whole life.  Puppies are a lot of work, but I can’t imagine my life without them.  If I ever win the lotto, I am opening a dog rescue called “The BBD”.  The big black dog rescue, after Lola.  She is a big, black lab! Lola was crate trained as a puppy.  Luckily her training was fairly quick.  What kind of dog are you getting?

    Dana- Hope you get some rest today!  I miss working in a hospital.  I was a lab tech (while I was in the Army) before I became an Accountant.  I miss that “Wow, I made a difference feeling” when I leave work.

    JLBaxter – Have a great day.  I heart Calphalon.

    Sarilynn- Coming home to a clean house is awesome!

    Amy- Where are you taking lessons?  We are getting signed up in the next few weeks.  Can’t wait.

    GMC – Rock on with the invites!!!  We are designing ours now.  And puppies are the best!!!  (Puppy people are pretty awesome too!) lol 

    DP- I too hate folding/putting away laundry.  I would love to hear about P90X too!  (Are you getting ready for quarter end close?  I am not looking forward to this)


    Pittsburgh September Siggy - Our honeymoon will be at the Royal Suites Turquesas in P*nta Cana. Super excited!

    lindsay - it's an ICU overflow unit at Allegheny General Hospital on the North Side. We get ICU patient's and a mish mash of other things too.

    sarilynn- i'm going to sleep probably before i can finish typing this last post.

    gmc - you actually get used to it. i used to do only nights when i worked in an ER, so flip flopping back and forth is nice. the trick is lots a coffee.

    janice - sometimes i have "wow" days and sometimes i have "get me out of here asap" days. more so the first one though/ i'm lucky to have a great staff to work with and patients that actually need my care.

    all right, i'm really going to bed now. have a great day everyone!

    GMC- FI is actually really good about sharing household chores. He does laundry and cooks just as much as I do, which is certainly nice. Plus he does our taxes :-)

    DB- Yeah I live only 15 minutes from where I work, so sometimes if I forget my lunch or I just want a lil break I will drive home. It chews up about half of my lunch hour, but I think it's worth it. Oh, and I have tried the P90X lean program too. I love it, but I can never seem to stick with it. It is a big time committment. If you have someone doing it with you it is much better :-)

    Janice- I wish I could get the FI in Michaels! He can barely stand clothes shopping for himself.

    Dana- Yeah you better be in bed right now!
