Scary

Crap. Crap crap crap. My parents want to meet him. Who's him? The guy that I met a week and a half ago at the bar. Sure, we've talked almost every night since, but I've only seen him twice since. They say that I'm old enough to date who I want, but they still want to meet the person that I'm dating. Gimme a chance to get to know him a little more first! And mom, quit trying to ask your friends from that area about him. I'll tell you what you need to know when you need to know it

MSCLS

I got home about 6:30 last night and I was utterly and completly tired and hungover. That's a great way to end a professional conference. Got there freaking early on Wednesday and was surprised that I made it on time because I'd overslept due to me not being able to set my alarm clock for the proper 12 hour time. Luckily a thunderstorm woke me up on time. Made it through all of the sessions that day and then went out with my classmates that night. Didn't get too drunk because I was tired and I ended up back at my hotel early and fell asleep early.

Thursday was awesome. In the middle of one of the sessions, Covenant called me. I returned the call when I got out and they offered me the 2nd shift position that I applied for and I accepted. The job is mine! It's a great feeling to be employed. I start May 16th. And I've gotta go through my pre-employment physical this week. Joy. So anyways, I really needed to celebrate so Thursday night was drunk fest. Long Island Iced Teas are wonderful. I got fairly drunk and even managed to trip and fall while bar hopping and scrape up my hands pretty badly. But it was fun. Then there was a fun drunken phone call after that.

Yesterday was hell. I was so hungover that it wasn't pretty. Nothing that I did could make the hangover go away. And driving home 3 hours in some pretty nasty weather while tired and hungover, well, that just sucks donkey nuts.

Leaving

I'm leaving early tomorrow morning for MSCLS. I'll be back Friday night. Call the cell if you need me. But don't expect me to be sotally tober at night

Surprise

Well, I went up to ICU today to see grandma after I get out of work and walk into her room and she's not there. Some guy is in her bed. So back downstairs to information I wander and find out that she'd already been moved to a med/surg floor, after being out of surgery for maybe 18 hours, and they were saying that she'd need to be in ICU for 48 hours. That was a nice surprise. She's doing well, feels good except for the discomfort of having her back cut open and still having a bunch of lines stuck in her for this and that.

Second interview is tomorrow at 1300 for my job at Covenant. Wish me luck!

Update again

Surgery was uneventful. Lung looks good. Spent too many hours in hospital waiting room. Grandma doing well. Need sleep. Night night

It's the big day...

Tomorrow is Grandma's surgery. She goes to the hospital at 10:45am which means her surgery will start around 1pm. It should take around 4 hours to complete the surgery. After the surgery she's going straight to ICU for 48 hours and then she'll go to a regular room for 5 more days. This is gonna be one hectic week. We're all a little one edge right now, just waiting for tomorrow to be over and for Grandma to get home again. There are gonna be a lot of extra prayers for her tonight and in the next few weeks

Listen to your heart

I know there's something in the wake of your smile.
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yea.
You've built a love but that love falls apart.
Your little piece of heaven turns too dark.

Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.

Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile.
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yea.
They're swept away and nothing is what is seems,
the feeling of belonging to your dreams.

And there are voices
that want to be heard.
So much to mention
but you can't find the words.
The scent of magic,
the beauty that's been
when love was wilder than the wind.

What color angel are you?

You're a "Blue Angel". You're a smarter
one than most and are the more logical than
anyone you know. You also have very strong
morals that you stick to through it all and
you'd stand up for whatever you believe in even
if no one else agrees. You're a little bit shy
around people but you love to be with lots of
people anyway. You have appreciation for things
like music or poetry or art. You yourself can
sing or write fairly well but only for
yourself. You're very thoughtful and people
love how creative you are. (If you cannot see
the picture, go to my homepage and scroll down
near the bottom. I have the results from all my
quizess that have pics)

I can do it!

I can wait until May 19th to buy the ROTS book. I will not read the book before hand. I will not lovingly caress it when I see it on the shleves in a store. I will not buy the ROTS book until after I see the movie. I will not ruin ROTS

4:59am

That's what time I woke up today. My alarm doesn't go off until 5am. Blech.

Busyness

Just registered for MSCLS, looks like it's going to be an interesting meeting, especially since I'll spend most of Thursday in sessions about forensics. :D So I'll be spending April 20-22 in Kalamazoo, MI. Sorry my SW pals, I won't be at C3.

Tomorrow's mom's birthday. After work I have to go get her a card and a bag to put her gift in. Then we're going to Famous Dave's for ribs. And Mrs Ross is visiting me at work tomorow. Hopefully I don't spend as much of tomorrow with the box of kleenex as I did today.

Mom's mom has the shingles. I feel bad for her, she had them for about a week before the doctor figured out what they were.

Dad's mom has her surgery on Monday. Any prayers will be greatly appreciated since she's having part of her lung removed because they're pretty sure it's cancer. She'll be in the hospital at least 4 days before being able to go home.

I"ve gotta register for my certification exam. I'm scared about it. I don't feel like I know enough. I don't feel like I've been studying enough.

I'm so busy.

My love of sandals and the consequences

Feet are made to be free. At least that's what I think and that's why I wear sandals as much as possible when the weather is nice. Well, last week the weather turned nice. Nevermind the fact that there was still snow on the ground, it was above 50 and thus sandal weather. Now I'm dealing with the consequences. I've got a sinus infection that sucks like none other and I hate it. That's what I get for wearing sandals in March I guess...
