    Good:  I (somehow) managed to get a lot of sleep.  Yay!  I love sleep!
    Bad:  We still don't have a Christmas tree, I am TOTALLY slacking on Christmas shopping... and I haven't baked a single Christmas cookie.
    Ugly:  I had to try to stop a patient from going outside yesterday.  Patient was about 6 feet tall, grossly overweight, had a black eye, a mowhawk and was barely clothed.  Oh... and his man goodies were hanging out of his hospital pants (which were around his knees) and he was dragging his foley (catheter) bag behind him full of blood.  It was ugly.

    [QUOTE]The Good: I had 2 more hanger sales this week!! So excited about it!!! Makes it worth starting up my etsy shop! The Bad: I feel like FI and I barely spent ANY time together this week... seems like with all of the snow it was taking me an hour and a half to get home every night!!! Boo. The Ugly: When I was leaving work the other night (the night of all of the snow... Weds?),<strong> I slipped in the parking lot, fell flat on my @ss, and have a NASTY bruise</strong>... it's ugly.

    Good: Work was super fun this week but lots of hours. I learned how to drive a segway and also drove some really expensive cars into the casino for a new years promo we are doing. :) I didn't run anyone over luckily!

    Bad: I was working a lot of long hours this week and then my commute sucked because of the weather 

    Ugly: X-mas & NYE is days away and I feel like I still have a ton to do!!

    Good:
    - Friday is finally here!
    - I took my final and am thinkin I did well enough to make at least a B in the class
    - Im done for the semester and get to focus on my wedding for the next 2 weeks!
    - I won tickets to the SU game this weekend! Woo!
    - I know this is next week related but Im so-o excited! Wed is a half work day, the other half we have a xmas party...then no work till Jan 4! (SU is trying to be the most green campus in the US and shuts down between xmas and new years for "green days". All heat, power, etc is shut off.)

    Bad:
    - Josh is sick and its not pretty. Hes a freakin whiner and needs to be waited on hand and foot. Plus he takes this nighttime med that knocks him out cold...but makes him do weird sht...like spit. Yes spit. Twice now, knocked out cold, he has spit. So gross.
    - I bought 2 things for xmas. Not for 2 people...just 2 things. Not good. Ill be shoppin crazy tomorrow while Josh is working.

    Ugly:
    - I fell Monday. Not pretty. I didnt think it was snowy enough to wear my winter boots and decided to wear my dress boots (which I know have zip traction and chose to wear anyways). I even told my dog (yes I talk to him. "Mommys prolly gunna fall on her a$s. You just wait!". Took a step out the door and just before my 2nd foot could touch...BAM. Hit the top step, bottom step, sidewalk...all concrete. I still cant bend over.

    Oh my GOSH!!!  I HATE when the boy is sick.  Don't they act like such babies???
    I always say (especially in nursing school)... that it's a good thing men don't have babies.  They are WIMPS!!!

    They seriously are! We were out shopping Sunday and he'd cough a little and all of a sudden... "I think Im getting sick" "Babe I dont feel good" "OMG I can feel my nose plugging" "Baaabe, I cant get sick!" "I cant afford to take time off from work!" "Dammit now I have to wait longer to see the babies"

    Thats all I heard all night! He went out and bought a bottle of brandy and chugged it...didnt work. And he called in sick both Wed & Thurs....which is very unlike him. But OMG!

    Tell him to try the "shot of death"... it is horrid, but I swear by it.
    1 clove of fresh garlic, minced
    1 chunk of fresh ginger, minced
    juice from 1 lemon
    1 shot of vodka (I suggest you chill the vodka while you are chopping the other stuff)
    honey to taste (you might want a lot, b/c it tastes BAD)

    Puree in a blender and shoot it like a champ.
    I did this when I was sick as a dog and felt 100% better the next day.  I have to warn you, it will kick his sense of smell and taste for a few days... up to a week, but it is SOOoooo worth it.

    Option B... good 'ol southern remedy... mix a shot of whiskey, some honey and some lemon juice into a cup of tea that is as hot as he can possibly stand it... then drink it.  Helps with cough and sore throat and all that stuff.
    Or screw the tea and do whiskey, honey and lemon juice like a shot.

    It's funny to me that I am going to be an RN and give people tons of medicine on a daily basis, BUT... I avoid taking it at all costs... I would try every holistic remedy in the book before drugging myself up.  And, I really think this stuff works better most of the time.

    Good: I finished all my shopping for Xmas:) yaaay! First year I've ever finished early bad: lots of work drama and had tons of errands to run all week so I'm mentally and physically exhausted. Ugly: I bought manzanita branches online to try out making a centerpiece before I decided if it was worth it or not. I had been waiting for the package since nov 23rd and finally got news that it wasn't shipped to the right address and I had to pick it up at the post office. When I finally got the package Thursday it looked like it was used in a football game in place of the ball and branches were sticking out of it. The whole thing was just a mess and sooooo not pretty!
    A decade of dating is ending with the beginning of a lifetime journey with my best friend:)
