adventure in snow

so I had been stuck at work forever but today I was home! It was awsome to wake up in my own bed whenever I wanted. So today I decided to finish my christmas shopping. Problem was I had no car. So I walked. I called my friend beth and we together walked, or hiked to the mall. We finished up and went to dinner. Now we are sitting on the floor watching silly christmas movies. what a fun day!!

Stolen Wallet found

So I don't remember if I blogged on it or not but my wallet was stolen on black friday, appropriately named i think. Any way I was pretty much out of luch because every peice of ID I had was in there, gift cards, credit cards, social security cards..ect. anyway since that time I looked through my car frantically a few times, each little sister looked through it, and my dad looked through it. It was not, I repeat not in there! Since that time also I have cleaned my car out twice (shut you mouth katie), and still no wallet. Any way on sunday I was going through my car to get a few iteams I would need for work and there laying on top of my seat, innocently just laying all by itself was my wallet. I stared at it for awhile not letting my self get excited because I knew it could not actually be my wallet.
yes. yes it was. And i believe without a doubt that someone put it there! all my doors were unlocked and that just has to be it. So yay!!

snow days at work

So sunday morning I got a call from work saying will you please come in for the morning shift (I usually work evenings) and we will send a cab to pick you up. I said yes because working a unscheduled shift is awsome money. So I got up took a quick shower nervous the whole time the cab would come and I would make them late. I put my scrubs and I went to the front window to wait....and wait....and wait.
I called work and told them the situation, they said they would call the cab company back for me. I said thanks, my daddy and I talked for quite some time about theology, and why I was his favorite daughter (just kidding, but I know he was thinking it!!) the girls and I made some pancakes....I waited....my dad and I watched a movie....I waited.....we watched another one....I waited.....My sisters and I played in the snow...I waited. Come two in the afternoon I called my work again, theys said all the cabs are really backed up and that I don't have to worry about being later for my shift it is not like it is my fault. So I waited....at seven thirty that evening I called work and asked if there was anypoint in me coming in? They said no and they would cancell the cab.
Nine thirty that night the cab company called me and asked if I was ready, that they were on the bottom of the hill, I very politely said not thank you and I went to bed.
Four the next morning I got a phone call from work asking if I would come in and work a morning shift as well as any other shift that would come up (it was my day off) I said yes and to send me a cab as soon as possible. So they said ok and I waited.....finally at about one they arrived. I was able to work a bit of morning shift, the whole evening shift, and half of a night shift (state says you can only work 16 hour) so I have been staying at work (really nice suites) and picking up extra shifts if I can. I am sitting in my room just surfing the web till my next shift wich is at 3.
oh and I did not bring my phone charger or a tooth brush. yikes!

Finals week with savannah to look forward to

The last week has been hectic!! It is the week before finals. Now, in most school this is known as dead week. Meaning that there would be no home work and lectures in class are limited, so to mentally prepare yourself for classes. Not in my wonderful community college.
Aside from the finals I have next week, I had a six page paper, a ten minute speech, and a test to rewrite. Now why did I leave it all till the night before you might ask? Good question.
Anyway luckily (well not luckily I guess because three of my patients have died in the last few days) my work has been slow. So naturally I took my computer and hid behind a chair and finished my speech, which i delivered today and was pleasently surprised with a B (i don't do public speaking, not my favorite).
Then Melissa came over, we got ready by having a big thai dinner and set in for the long haul. Two papers and two redone tests (a complete miracle that we were able to retake them and even bring them home!) some ice cream, and a little wine later we were done!
this morning went by smoothly and sure enough I don't have anything left till tues when I have two finals and I am out!
This winter I had full intentions of going back to school once more, however then I realized oh my! my neice will be born right in the middle of the semester! what is the answer to that delima? Not just wait for the weekend after she is born and go see her. that is just silly! instead I will not be going back (just winter term) and instead I will taking off for a month to phx to be with my sissy! I am planning on watching movies with kate, feeding her bon-bons, and just general taking care of her. I am so excited and I just bought my tickets yesterday!!
See you soon sister friend!
