A Professional...?

-
I know what my career should be now, I don't want to be a nurse (this comes after a horrible day at the hospital). I am meant to be a professional Scrabble player. Honestly, I need to quit my full time job and go for it. I am not cut out for 25 minutes of chest compressions, vent patients with multiple needs, and orientating a student as well. Grrr! Maybe things will look brighter in the morning. A little Buffy, mark snuggles, and a large diet coke from Taco Bell will make the world of nursing bright and new for tomorrow!

Oh by the way, Lou and Michael you are tagged to do the One Hundred Things list! I enjoyed the playing in the park yesterday with the kiddies. Well, not the hundreds of stink bugs (or pork chops and Mc D's as Ethan likes to call them). Here are a few pics to keep everyone's interest!

whatever happened to "super Ang"?!?!? c'mon, it's not like you haven't had to juggle more than that before . . . and, might I add, successfully.

I wanna see pics of the Stink Bugs!

Are they really stinky? The ones around here just smell like mold. But then so does everything else around here in the drizzle.

It's always good for a boy to have a healthy interest in bugs at Master Ethan's age.

I must say you make a better nurse than I... I'd be passed out and twitching at just the thought of the blood and internal injuries I might come in contact with. Whoa... I feel woozie just typing it.

Thanks for encouragement. You know just what to say. I handled it beautifully today. Two patients, charting, meds, and all interventions. Heck I even had time to reassure my patients and give them alittle one on one! I still think I rock better at Scrabble! In time nursing will be my stronger suite!

Dave-
You are hilarious. I was going to put a pic of Val with the stink bug up but that seems redundant with her. Are things wet and soggy out there? In the 100's here. You could always move. I can't believe you won the goody from Amazon. I started typing and then poof...I saw you had already guessed it. Some of us don't get to check out blogs at work!

Suzanne-
You bet! I will continue to ask ya! I not sure if I am ready for the professionals...they don't like to chide their players during the game. I do! Isn't that right Jeff?

Lou-
Looking forward to it!

Jeff-
Don't talk Big if you can't walk BIG! I come from a long line of Scrabble players. My mom, her mom, her mom, her mom, and her mom! ROFL!

Don't make the same mistake I made. Don't judge your success at something because of victories against Jeff Noble. Make sure you have viable Scrabble foes to measure up against. Just kidding! But seriously, whose idea was it to start Scrabble competitions AFTER I left Monticello?

Calling All Women

The Challenge: Have as many women as I can interpret what I meant by "Spending ever day looking for new ways to reinvent our relationship." Please leave your comments so that I know I wasn't speaking a foreign language with my spouse. Men, feel free to comment as well! I'm sure you will anyways. Conversation with hubby: Me: I have a New Years Resolution that I think would be fun for us, do you want to hear it? Man: Sure Me: I think every day we should look for new ways to reinvent our relationship? Man: What do you mean? Me: I just said what I meant. Man: No you didn't really explain what you mean, though. Me: You know, finding little things that would change our relationship...doing something each day. Man: That seems taxing! Me: Working on our relationship is work? Man: Yeah, I wouldn't know what to do. That's 365 days, you know. Me: There are calendars out there that will tell you things to do that are romantic! Buy one. Man: Yeah, but most of them are ...

Monday, when we got back from our anniversary trip, found a note on the counter that read: Suzanne called. Play group. Tuesday at 830am. Who would schedule a playgroup so early? Doesn't anyone sleep in? Let the kids find their own breakfast, and stay under the covers till they beg for lunch? Well, you know heat here in the summers, ranging around the 100's, makes us southerners wake up early in the a.m. to do the things we enjoy. When noon rolls around, we hull up in our homes, doors tightly shut, curtains drawn, trying to escape the BIG BAD (the sun appropriately named, right Spike?)! I guess that was not in the cards for us today! We spent the early morning hours playing at the park with pretty much everyone from Journey! Unfortunately around 10 a.m. the heat found us and forced us to retreat to Suzanne's house for some relief! We had a great time chatting, the conversation ranged from ovulation...and ended with ovulation. I think Micheal enjoyed the conversation as much ...

My latest obsessions….puzzling The week after Coyote made a surprise visit! It’s been awhile since I posted! I was just looking back on some posts and giggled so I think it is important to continue since posts tell the story of my life. These pictures were from our latest venture to Paso Robles to see Coyote! Mark, I, and Charlie drove to Paso Robles California in approximately 18 hours. We stayed three glorious days and drove home within the sametime frame. While we were there, we got to see Hearst Castle, visited San Luis Obispo, saw the ocean and tons of beached Sea creatures, ate amazing food, drank amazing coffee, visited a couple of thrift stores, art galleries, and was surprised to find a outdoor vending machine full of specialty meats and cheeses. We purchased a cheese that was literally black all the way through. It was so good and tasty. It had a wonderful lemon taste to it and was very mild. Our Airbnb was located on a Vineyard. Coyote, Kees, and Pharaday even came over and ...
