Let's Hope I Survive!

So today begins my crazy work extravaganza...

I have to work the next 5 nights in a row

12 hours shifts

When it's so nice and sunny out

And the clippers opening day is tomorrow at the brand spankin new park!

How depressing.

I hope I make it through...I've done 4 in a row but never 5...this 5th day could just send me straight over the edge...

At least I have 7 days off and a trip to Chicago after its all over!

Wish me luck!

Sunshine Days...Everybody's Happy!

I sit here from my couch and look out on to my lovely parking lot and see how beautiful and sunny it is

I wish I had some reason to be outside today!

I suppose I could go to a lil coffee shop and sit outside and read or something

To bad I don't have a dog to play with outside.

Instead here I sit doing laundry, catching up on loads of TV I have missed, and watching Charli attack the glass patio door trying to get at an insect flying around outside. Quite amusing actually.

I will try to find a reason to enjoy the day...especially since I have to work the next 5...yes FIVE...days in a row and will see absolutely no sunshine.

I will try to update later...maybe with some pics from recent events in my life...

Peace out kids

Linda Hamilton!

So I just watched one more episode of What Would You Do and they went back and found Linda! They gave her a pre-paid cell phone and took her somewhere to help her get her life on track! She was so so happy just for that little cell phone!

Turns out there's even a facebook group about being touched by Linda! I think I need to join immediately!

I'm so glad she got help!

Sometimes America Sucks...

So I woke up today and was just hanging out before my sister got here and decided to catch up on some of my DVR'ed shows. I decided to watch an episode of Primetime's version of What Would You Do and proceeded to bawl my eyes out.

One part of the show had a well dressed woman walk down the street and collapse to see how many people would help her...everyone helped her...

Then they did it with a scruffy homeless looking man and it took an average of 3 minutes for someone to help him...

Then they had the guy hold a beer can and even more people just walked by...except this one lady...Linda Hamilton...she tried so hard to help this man and just made me sob...

Watch the video...you can skip the part about the woman...its boring...everyone helps...but watch the rest and see if you cry like me!

I can't figure out how to post it directly here so here's the link...WATCH IT!! http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=7053177

Some Beach....Somewhere...

I am craving a trip to the beach right now...Houston was fun but Galveston was just a tease. The beach was rocky and the sun was shining but it wasn't as hot as I wanted it to be! I want to go somewhere where its hot with white sand and blue water and cold drinks and a good book and my iPod...some friends too!! Maybe here...



Who wants to come???

Who Knew Dayton Could Be Fun??

After getting back from Houston, I decided I didn't want to drive all the way back to Columbus after flying all day so I crashed at Stephanie's house and we went out for a night at the Dub Pub with her roomie and some of his friends...

It was quite a good time and we even got to show off our bedazzled phones!




When we got back from the bar we decided to have a dance party and since we didn't buy the undies with silicone butt cheeks we made our own! I almost ended the night sleeping on a mattress in the hallway...fun times...






And now it's back to real life and work for the next 3 nights...yay PICU!

Everything's Bigger in Texas

Well I'm back to the real world today after my adult Spring Break has come to an end. It was a completely fabulous time and I must say that flying with a friend is much more fun then flying alone...sit back and relax and listen to the tale of my Texas adventure...this could get lengthy!



We got to lovely Dayton International Airport and Stephanie started tanning right away! We thought everything would go smoothly and there would be no bumps in our Spring Break plans...but Atlanta destroyed that hope. We got off our plane only to hear that the flight to Houston had already left and we were stuck there for the night! Luckily we got a flight out early the next morning and our adventure could begin!



Lindsay picked us up from the airport and takes us to this fine establishment for delish breakfast tacos followed by some shopping on Harwin Ave. for knock off purses and accessories! FUN! We spent hours perusing the goods including a pair of undies with silicone butt cheeks! Stephanie was in heaven! We ended Saturday night with some fabulous BBQ and a special viewing of the Babysitters club on DVD...yes yes don't be jealous!

On Sunday we headed to Galveston to see the Gulf and we also saw some leftover hurricane damage. We ate amazing seafood, walked along the shore, dealt with Lindsay's broken shoe, and did some shell collecting...here's some pics that documented the day...








Lindsay had to teach her lil kiddos on Monday so it was an early night for her on Sunday...On Monday Steph and I headed over to spend a half day with her class and see what she's like as a teacher...turns out shes a beast! She's got good control over those 5 year olds that for sure! After school we got mani's and pedi's which was completely amazing! We ate some awesome Mexican and went back to hang out at the apt for our last night. We even bedazzled our phones with the gems Stephanie bought on Harwin...take a look...






Our flights back to Ohio were much more smooth. We did meet this man that reminded me of Inspector Gadget in the Atlanta airport. We thought he was crazy but it turns out he spoke very very little English and was just trying to find out when his wife's flight was coming in from Toronto. Stephanie was nice enough to help him out...and I was nice enough to sneak a pic of him! What you can't see is his bright purple shirt and bright purple tie...so adorable!




We finally made it back to Dayton in one piece and Stephanie continued her tanning right where she left off...



And that's that...our fabulous Apt. T reunion is over but it was awesome and I miss Miss Rizzo already!
