What a weekend!

Well, I had a nice little Saturday planned and this is how it went:

I started the day by going to my niece's 1st birthday party. Man alive there were a lot of children there. It makes me realize I am not ready to have kids yet. While I love my nieces and nephew. That is about the extent of how many children I want in a room at once. It was crazy have all those kids running around in a small spaces, and there there were the parents, and all the furniture. I feel like I am going to have to have a very large place with a play room by the time I have kids, so any prospects of suitors better have good jobs that make lots of mulah!

Then I went to my friend's housewarming party. While it felt like I drove forever to get there, I am sure part of it was because I picked up a friend. But either way she lives in Olathe off of 119th and Woodland. It took while to get there but is was quite worth it. Her house is so cute and also all the appetizers she made were delicious! It is always a little awkward to be with a bunch of people you don't know and a crazy mother in law it was fun nevertheless.

Last but of course not lease, my friend Hailey is moving to San Antonio with her fiance so she had a little going away party at Kelly's in Westport. I am pretty sure everyone was fearing for my life for some reason. But I brought a friend and made it home safely. He even said if someone had to take a bullet he would do it for the both of us. What a sweetie. Anyway, it was fun to see her because it has been ages since we have hung out, and Jon figure out Gary and him had a lot of mutual friends so at least he had someone to talk to. It was quite an interesting night as to when Hailey's dress broke...definite wardrobe malfunction. So we snuck into the bathroom to try to fix it. We figure out that we couldn't but these are the series of events that led to a dress that was stapled together. First we just took off the dress and tried to move the zipper down, that didn't work but we got half the zipper down. So then we decided that we would hold and pull on the zipper as hard as we could, all that did pull off that side of the zipper, we tried to figure out how we could put it back on. The dress was sewn at the bottom so we ripped the dress to the bottom, unfortunately while bringing the zipper down to the bottom both sides fell off. At that point the Waiter came back to see how we were doing, he offered us paper clips and a stapler. We pretty much just laughed when he brought the paper clips because what the hell are you going to do with that? So after that long explanation, we get to where we just used a seem of staples to put it back together, the best part is that the stapler was a little broken so we had to open it ever step of the way. It may have been a you had to be there kind of moment, but we definitely have a new meaning to have you seen my stapler?

Ok, so here's what has been going on since the beginning of September. I am now into the point in classes where I am having a test about every week. Luckily the classes I am taking the test are currently scattered but it pulls my focus to one class primarily and I am not sure that is good (seeing as I am falling behind in reading). Oh well there isn't much I can do about that. I am also not use to classes having so many assignments and discussions that need to be done. I guess online classes may not be the way to go, but I just couldn't imagine spending anymore time on campus than I already do.

I went to my friend Carlye's wedding and it was a blast. It was a lot of people from work and apparently we all like drink and party! Anyway, there will soon be another one as Erin is getting married in only weeks and I have her bachelorette party to look forward to. Apparently she is getting some sort of stripper pole. Not sure what that is going to be all about, but I am sure it is going to be fun.

Other than that I have a lot of weekends to work coming up. It appears that I am going to be working three out of four weekends next month :( and the only one I have off is for the wedding. Oh well I guess that is the price I pay for only working one last month.

Also, people at work and by people I really mean person have apparently not developed past grade school. I can't believe we are still tattling at this day and age.

I should probably be heading to work but I thought I would put a random smattering of thoughts and things that have been going on just so there is an update!

Also, this to look forward to this weekend: my niece's first birthday party, Kristin's housewarming party, Hailey's going away party, and maybe some sleep...

it has been far too long

So, I am sure I don't have much of a following seeing as I haven't really told that many people about this but either way I should try to be better about keeping people updated on my life. So not much is new lately. My weekends are getting taken over with weddings and working. I can't complain though life in general is pretty good. I will have a real post soon though. I am sure you are waiting on the edge of your seat.

what a weekend

So once again it was drill weekend so it is exhausting between working Friday and Monday at the hospital and then the weekend in Topeka. Lots of driving and lots of training.

First of all the weekend didn't start off great seeing as I didn't wake up until 7:15 and that is the when my supervisor asked me to be at work on drill weekends so that I can make sure I have a plan for everyone once the morning meetings are over. I called in and just got ready at a regular pace because I didn't want to forget anything and really there is no reason to rush when I am already that late. And on top of that they were fit testing so no one would be around until that was over. When I showed up people we still running so I was just going to sit around and not do much, most likely clean out my email but unfortunately the phone rang as soon as I got there asking for someone to watch UAs (urinary analysis). Being pretty much one of the only girls qualified I had to do it again! I was pissed, I had just done it a couple months back. When I got back I was basically just told that if they ever called again to tell them to go else where and find someone to do it because we weren't giving up any of our girls. We don't have that much time to waste every weekend and they needed to get the rest of the unit to participate. I think the thing that sucks the most about it is that I spend the first half of my day down out at the clinic telling people how to do a UA and then watch them pee. Just a big waste. They need to find their own group of people to do it.

Oh well, so to get to the rest of the weekend, there really wasn't that much going on. We went out and working in the rain which sucked because it was cold but we're much like the post office, rain or shine. Sunday we just worked on training stuff which means I stayed inside for most of the morning while I sent others to help people because we didn't have anything we needed to do. I guess all in all it was an easy weekend. It is just exhausting to work 4 days in a row when 2 of the are 12 hour shifts and then the other two were only 9 hours but about 2.5 hours in driving time.
