Friday Pretties!

It's that time again! Friday Pretties! Thank you lovely host...Joyce of the lovely I Love Pretty Little Things hosts a wonderful Blog-hop...check her out for more pretties! This is my weekly contribution!

The other night, during a long night shift, all the patients asleep for once (woot!), my lovely co-worker J & I were talking dreamily about places to have High Tea!  Sigh.

We both agreed that Serendipitea in Abbotsford was THE place to be. But she said she has heard people tell tales of an English Tea House somewhere in Vancouver called The Secret Garden? (anyone? reviews?) and she says it apparently trumps Serendipitea like it ain't no thing! J gets this far away look in her eye and tells me that "they have those fancy sugar cubes that my Grandma used to serve." I say whaaaaaaaaa? Pretty, decorative cubes she says...

Never in my life have I heard of this.  Have you?  Rogers sugar cubes, in a box, that's what I know...so naturally I googled, and I am smitten! I SO need fancy sugar cubes!  I know of this great little confectionery company TLC...I wonder if I could talk the AMAZING ladies who run the show over there into a new range of goodies...

One lump or two! Bliss!

Happy Friday Pretties!

This isn't a threat, it's a fact.

Ok, it's a lie. I have had TWO cups of coffee so far. There will be more, oh yes, there will be more as I mentally prepare myself to go in for my THIRD night shift in a row. Third of four (cue violins).

Having said that, my return to work has been easy peasy lemon squeezy. (knock wood)....just feelin a bit vampirish...is it PC for a nurse to say don't make me kill you? Poor taste? Just back away from the coffee pot & everything will be juuuuuuuust fine. Mine. My coffee.

Happy Saturday to you all!

BLAHHHHHHH

Just WHAT the heck am I going to do all day?????  I should have kept my babies home from school today.

I was supposed to go in for one of those lovely little GRTW 4 hour shifts, but the pain in my back today was unbelievable. I know, you're tired of hearing me whine...but but but! So I called my wonderful doc @ 0700 and he said c'mon in tout de suite. SO, I ended up with the day off work, a rest day from physio, a Toradol Rx and a req for an X-ray! Yikes! X-ray done...waiting for results.

So I sit here, drinking my beloved Verona blend from Starbucks, catching up on blogland, Y & R amongst other things....waiting for the Toradol to kick in.

I feel like crying I'm so bored. And so tearful from the frustration that comes from lifting a jar of peanut butter (albeit Costco size) ..alas, it is too heavy.

Perhaps I will just go lay in the sun. But wait, I was going to embrace my pale Irish fair skin this year. Bah.

bored.

bored. coffee. physio. sore. tired. looking for the perfect blog background....as if you couldn't tell...

tyring to figure out what that bright thing is in the sky...

another weekend

T minus 5 hours to go. i can tell you though, that nothing at all in the world could have prepared me for this night shift. not even the 2 cheeseburgers my hubby brought to me ac nights. oh snap! they were gooood. but alas, it was the calm before the storm. and storm it did. never in my nursing career have i experienced a night like this. "but you get shift differential" um, ok, right.

it's 0225h, may 1, 2010. may. MAY. can you even believe it? i can't understand how the time just flies by. my eldest babe turns 12 this month, how insane. & i have all these plans, things i need & want to do...the days go by, the weeks, the months...i think this is my last weekend off for a month, so i hope i am productive with my days off.

i want to lounge, sleep, drink coffee, walk the dogs, cut Mason's hair!, cut Quinn's hair, lounge, sew, drink coffee, lounge, drink BLL, refinish some freakin furniture already, stay up late, FB, blog, lounge, exercise...HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA, drink coffee, lounge...are you pickin up what i'm puttin down???

my may resolutions are set, and i'm being firm on them. that's my story & i'm sticking to it. bring it on may!
