Forgot!!!

I totally forgot the BEST part of my weekend!

THIS......



I stopped by Fishers grocery store and picked up a big ol container of their AMAZING pumpkin pudding! I have never found it at another grocery store and it is one of my favorite things about fall...and about being home!

YUMM-O!!!

And yeah I just eat it straight out of the container!

My Weekend Home...

So this past weekend I finally went home to hang out with the fam...

Got to go to happy hour...

Take a shot with my ma...

Watch the Bucks win...

Check out the bar scene in Massillon...

Shop with ma...

See Grandma, Aunt Susan and cousin Kara...

Hang out with Tim after he called off work for me...

Meet my new nephew Caddie...

Steal groceries from the fridge...

NOT fight with my dad...

All in all it was a fabulous trip...check out few pics I took on my phone...



This is my sisters new pup Caddie....He's a Shih-Poo and most adorable!!


I bought Charli a present since she was alone all weekend....she LOVES her new scratcher!


I bought this cutsie lil wrought iron piece from Marshalls! I love it!


This is a lovely vase that matches the wrought iron piece above the couch...my dad broke the vase about a half hour after I bought it so I had to go all the way back to Marshalls to exchange it!

I think my purchases are lovely and are just helping my apt to come along even more!

Work the next three night is NOT gonna be fun!

Arrrrgh Mateys!

So today is National Speak Like A Pirate Day!

Look how we celebrated it in the PICU...



We wore our pirate scrub tops...

Made homemade eye patches...

Busted out the stuffed parrot...

And said Arrrrgh....A LOT!

All in all it was a fab night and I encourage everyone to try their best at pirate lingo for the rest of the day!

Oh yeah and OSU won....

GOOOO BUCKS!!!

Music Time

It's been awhile and some of these songs may be considered old or even really old but they just keep popping up on my iPod and I have a new found love for them!



I wish she had a real video out for this already...I don't know why I love a Miley Cyrus song but I do!!



I am AWESOME at belting out these lyrics!



Usually not one for religious music but I like singing along to this song while driving too!



I heard this on some TV show and forgot it existed...I love love love this song! Sad cuz I know a lot of my friends including me have been talking about how much we miss college...and this song pretty much sums that up!

Enjoy!

My Life...

is just super...

I think I really need to get back to work tomorrow night...

These are the two highlights of my day...




Charli looking completely adorable while she snoozed on the back of the couch!

And my tasty baked ziti (or in my case rigatoni) courtesy of Britt...

Turned out to be absolutely delish!

I think next time I might just make one 13x9" pan of it...and maybe add some meat to it...I saw I had left over pepperoni in the fridge after the fact which may have been delish!

In other news the previous post was my 100th post!

Go ME!!

Back to work tomorrow night...thanks goodness!

Perry Celebrity!

My sister Hannah is a PHS celebrity!

Take a looksie!

Nice job Hannah!

You make Perry proud!

Sob Fest!

So one of my all time favorite shows in the world has finally restarted!



I have just been crying on an off the whole show!

Here are my faves so far...



She is the one just making me (and surprisingly Jillian) sob...the fact that she has had all that tragedy in her life at one time and is still so uplifting and able to go on is just inspiring!



Coach Mo is just adorable...I hope he doesn't have to go back to the hospital!



Rebecca almost reminds me of me...I'm not quite as big as her but I feel like I can relate her to a bit...



And of course I like Daniel! He was one of my faves from last season and I'm excited he's back!

I like some others on the show...like the guy from Columbus, and Rebeccas partner on the pink team but those 4 up there are the ones I'm gonna be rooting for!

I sure hope that other girl that went to the hospital is ok and able to come back soon!

I can't wait to see how this season goes! I am sad that Max isn't on...I was really hoping he would be!

Germany Stole My Friend!

It's official...Courtney left for Germany today...

We partied it up in Cincy for her this past weekend and had an amazing time!

We made shirts with some of our fave pics of Courtney and us to wear out to the Hofbrauhos on Friday...





We hung out and watched the game on Sat to see our Buckeyes sadly lose...

I have no pics of that event...

Sunday however I did document quite well as we slip n slided our way through the afternoon...







It was an excellent weekend and I'm so so glad we were alllll able to get together before going our seperate ways for quite some time...

Next step on the list...get a passport so I can head out to Germany with my peeps and visit our friend in the spring!

CONGRATULATIONS!!

I have to take this moment to congratulate my AMAZING sister Holly...



I could not have been more proud of her today!

She came down to Columbus yesterday to spend the night and take her Cosmetology boards today and guess what...

SHE PASSED!!!

She not only passed but passed with FLYING colors...

She got an 82% on the written test which she thought was extremely hard...and didn't get anything less than an 83% on her practical!

AWESOME!!

She is now a licensed cosmetologist!

CONGRATULATIONS HOLLY!!

All Growed Up!

Well everyone...today is the day!

My little sister Hannah is all growed up! Just look at her!



She's turning 18 today and I'm super excited for her!

Unfortunately I won't get to go home this weekend to celebrate with her but hopefully I will see her soon!

I did send her a surprise at school and the word around the street was that her church friends threw her a surprise party last night!

I know she was very disappointed in her 16th birthday so hopefully this one is better!

Happy Birthday Hannah! I really do hope it is FABULOUS! You are quite the amazing sister and I love ya!!

See ya soon sis!

I Suck

I have been a terrible Blogger lately...I've been busy with work and sleep and laying on the couch and let's face it....no one wants to read about that!

I have one more night of work tonight and then I'm off for a whopping 6 nights!

What am I gonna do you ask??

Well I'm gonna head to Cincy for a friends going away party and a little football action...

Then Holly is coming to stay for a couple nights as she takes her cosmetology boards on Tuesday!

I can't wait for her to come!

In other news...I'm really mad at Charli right now

I work with a nurse named Rachel....she has a cat named Righty

She is preggo with their 2nd child and they just moved into a condo where they can't have pets.

She took Righty to the humane society and the next day went back to get him and she convinced me to take him for awhile until they could move into their own house...

Well she brought Righty over and Charli was just a bitch....growling and hissing and swatting all over the place!

Poor Rachel had to take Righty back to the Humane Society! I cried as soon as she left...

I hate that she has to take him to the Humane Society! I'm gonna really hope that some nice old lady will adopt him...

Maybe I should have given it a little bit of a longer chance but Righty just hid behind the couch and Charli just hissed and growled or sat in my room and if I walked in just immediately hissed at me!

I just feel terrible! If you want a cat please let me know and you can go to the Humane Society and get Righty!!!!

Happy Birthday Take 2!

So I told you all about the pic I was trying to find...here it is!



Aren't we adorable?!?!

Like I said in the previous post I truly do adore my dad....as much as it might not seem like I do at times...

He's the one I call with car troubles...

He's the one that I can have lovely adult political conversations with...

He's the one that taught me how to drive...

He's the one that killed spiders crawling around the house...

He's the one that has helped me move 18000 times in my life...

He's the one that covered my books when I was in school...

He's the first person I would ever think of calling if I was in the Cash Cab...

He's also the one I've pushed down into a corner in the basement...

The one that's made me cry more times then I can count...

The one that caused me to be as stubborn as I am...

The one that I couldn't stand at times...

But despite those not so great lines mentioned above we have managed to still say I Love You every time we talk on the phone and I feel extremely grateful to have him as a part of my life!

Hope your birthday was completely FABULOUS dad!

LOVE YOU!

Happy Birthday Pops!

Well I guess now I should say...

Happy BELATED Birthday!

My pa had his special day yesterday and I never blogged about it!

Terrible daughter I am!

Anyhow I did call him and send a card so that makes up for it right??

I hope he had a super fab day...as much as we argue and as stubborn as we both are I really do love the guy!

I have an awesome pic of my dad and I that I totally can't find on my comp....I'm gonna search later and post it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!! :)
