Stef: "we didn't get many patients from the ED today"
Matt: "what do you mean by ED?"
Stef: "its the ER, but I guess we call it ED now, for Emergency Department"
Matt: "don't they know that ED stands for Erectile Dysfunction??"

Neah Bay

We had a great time in Neah Bay this weekend! It took a loooong time to get there, but it was soo worth it. We loved the company and the dogs were loving the freedom!


Here they are at our beach campfire, finally able to settle down and snuggle.

Random picture of the post:

This squirrel was sleeping on my fence post last week...soooo full after eating all of the bird seed out of my "Squirrel-free" feeder...hmmm....

More pictures to post later when I get them from the others!

Randoms

I think a run and bike ride are in order for the day. It is way too beautiful out to be inside anyway, especially since I was inside all weekend at work! I have to spend the next three days inside too, but am very excited for a weekend in Neah Bay for Katie's birthday. For those Twilight lovers out there, we may be stopping through Forks on the way back.

I love that my dog slides down the stairs in the mornings when he is still sleepy. His new thing is to run his face against the wall on the way down. This morning while we watched Matt get his lunch out for work and waited for the coffee to brew, Whiskey got up onto my lap and cuddled. That always makes my day! He's a little heavy, but its worth it!

This weekend I started orienting to Charge Nurse for my unit. I will be Relief Charge, meaning when they need someone to help out. I am so used to running around the unit on my feet, not planning staffing at the desk. I think once I get a few more days of training in, I will feel more confident. I didn't realize how hard it was to guess how many patients you will have at 3pm by 10am!

I can hear Jessie right now yelling "no, Whiskey! I need that! Don't eat it! Stop! Sit! Leave it!!!" hahahaha

Easter, Case, & Whiskey

We had a great Easter at our house this year! Sad to say, I only got pictures of Case and Whiskey battling for the treats.

I had to put all of the pics I had because I thought they were all so cute!


Waiting for his morsel...



Hey! You are taking a picture of me!


hmm...I'm not so sure that's going to work...

Mom...just give me the cupcake so I don't have to beg!

Case isn't so sure about that dog...

I think I will take a little nibble while he's not looking...

YEESSS!! Case is watching so intently...

Back to the waiting...

shed

It has taken me a really long time to post pictures today...grr.

Here are some pics of the new shed that Matt and his Dad built last weekend:

Matt...

this is what Whiskey does while you are away:

He saw me cleaning out the tupperware cabinet earlier and saw a great opportunity. Sorry about the shakiness...I had to follow him around. Ordinarily, I try to ignore him.

dessert

mmm... Skinny Cows are delicious!

bullets (or dashes, rather)

-I was just informed that I cut an orange incorrectly, by my lovely husband
-I am loving this Blue Moon wheat ale that I am devouring
-When people around you are severely depressed, they suck the life out of you
-I didn't know that I could be called so many bad names within an hour of being at work...not to mention I was swatted and kicked at
-I had a LONG weekend and my feet hurt...YAY for a Monday off with awesome weather!
-The husband worked all weekend getting our shed built! It looks awesome! Please come over and look at it.
-My Mom's birthday is tomorrow, but I probably won't actually see her until next week
-We got our new patio dining set and I LOVE it!!

Hubby

I forgot to officially post a "Happy Birthday Hubby" post on the 24th!! I am a terrible wife.. :) I tried to post earlier with pictures and all, but I couldn't get it to do what I wanted. Anyway, Happy Birthday Baby!!!! Can you believe you are a quarter of a century old?? The big 2-5. We started dating just after you turned 17, and I can't believe I have been able to share so many great birthdays with you. You really are the best ever!

And Happy Birthday to all of those March Birthdays that I know!

Video

The past week has consisted of work, food, sleep, and this:

This video actually isn't very interesting except that he is carrying a gigantic stick and was trying to bring it inside. Right before the video was taken, he had brought it onto the porch and tried to turn around...running into the side of the house and the slider about 6 times. I guess he decided the stick was more important than coming inside.

Furniture

Matt and I finally got some more furniture to decorate our house! Here are some pics (sorry about the blur):



The side tables, lamps, and vase are new. BTW, the dog is only allowed on the bed when we are getting ready for bed. He sleeps in his kennel at night.





Everything in this room is new! We have had the console table for a few months, but got everything else this weekend!





Same room, different angle.

Snow

It's snowing!!! Whiskey is currently outside eating snow and chasing the birds...without me!! I am soo thankful I don't have to watch to wait to see if he goes potty anymore. We used to do this like new parents do when he was a pup. We were always concerned if he didn't go within a certain amount of time. Matt would stay out in the yard for over an hour just waiting for him to go. (Such a good dad!)

Of course I do have to watch to make sure he isn't digging up my plants, eating the trees, or digging in the mud...but one thing at a time, I guess!

The Bachelor

Oh My Word!! Did anyone else see the Bachelor last night?? I had a study class last night, so I caught it in time to see Jason propose. I was devastated! I really wanted the other one to win. Matt said "Well if you saw the whole first portion of the show, maybe you would like her better." I am not so sure about that.

But THEN, oh man oh man, the "After the Final Rose" show came on and made me an oh so happy girl. But really I am totally weirded out by the whole thing. Did he have to "break up" with her on tv? I wonder if the producers had anything to do with all of this...
