Ever wonder what weird dreams mean. I don't know how I thought of this but last night I dreamt my fillings came out. I was chewing some really sticky gum that I couldn't keep from sticking to my teething so I pulled it out of my mouth and out came my fillings. They were silver, which I am pretty sure they are not and they had my dentist's name on it. I remembered that I saw on CSI that they did that so that if someone is killed they can find where they got their dental work is done. I am pretty sure that isn't true, and I am pretty sure I didn't see that on CSI but in my dream it happened. How odd. Anyway, any thoughts?

So I know I don't do a good job with updating but I keep this open and just keep trying. I have been looking at my schedule lately and it is just so busy! I know I use to work 3 days a week every week but now that I work 3 one week and 2 the next. I am not sure how I worked 3 days every week. Probably just didn't make as many plans as I use to. So anyway, if I haven't seen you in a while I'm sorry please just let me know and I will fit you into my schedule. It might have to be next month though. I am also kind of getting excited about my Turkey trip. I will have lots of planning and moving to do before that but it should be fun. The only sad thing is I heard the dates for it and it sounds like I will have to skip out on Vegas because of it. Oh well. I have probably been writing this for 30 minutes because I keep losing concentration so I might as well quit now :(

So I had a funny night out a while ago. We all went out in Lawrence and being a responsible adult I go a hotel room so I wouldn't have to drive home and my friend decided to stay with me. He is married though and was wearing his wedding band. Unfortunately for us a family got in the elevator with us and assumed I we were together. The mom didn't see a ring on my finger and I believe she thought I was from some sort of escort service. I was given dirty looks and I ran out of the elevator in shame :( Hope everyone gets a good laugh out of this. I laugh now but was so embarrassed then.

Once again I realized I have not blogged in a long time. I never get better at this yet I always have hope. I have been quite busy lately with travels and have had lots of fun. Currently I am in DC and people have started to make fun of me for being out of town so much. I know it is a little insane and I am ready to be home for a while to take care of business so to speak. Get the apartment clean and start packing up things I don't need on a day to day basis. It seems like an end of an era but I am not surprised seeing as Laura pretty much just lives at Wil's place now. Hopefully I will have everything figured out by the end of October seeing as that is when I move. Then part way through November I will be off to Turkey! Can't say I didn't try seeing as I have finally posted an update :)

I am way behind on blogging but here's to hoping as usual. I am finally done with summer classes so that means I should have a lot more free time soon :) My guard trip keeps getting pushed farther and farther back so I actually have a few days off next week before I am off again. Unfortunately that means I wont be home for long before I head off to DC. Ok I would keep writing but I am start to become brain dead between the finals, the paper, and my body getting back to normal. It still wants to go to sleep on Vegas time and wake up on KC time. So little sleep :( And tomorrow begins my day back at work so here's to hoping for the best!

I do not enjoy being woken up when I am sleeping as I am sure no one else does but a lot of the time I have a hard time falling back asleep.  That is why I have tried telling people of my 10 to 10 rule, if it is between the hours of 10p to 10a and it is not an emergency, don't call me, text me, or try to get a hold of me!  I mean seriously people what do you have to tell me that can't wait a few more hours.

I think I am a little more annoyed that all it was really to tell me that people I know from two different social groups are having dinner and they are talking about me.  No one will tell me what they were talking about but they did all three ruin my nights sleep and my plans for the next couple of days, hopefully I will be productive soon and it wont be a couple of wasted days.

Well, it seems at our inspection has gotten the best of me too.  I don't typically yell at people at work but sometimes people are really just hard to work with.  I hate that it got to the point that I couldn't respond to him politely but really he is just and asshole sometimes.  No one who reads this knows this person so using a name is really pointless.  Let's just say this person thinks he is always right and will argue to the death just to prove it.   Sometimes you're wrong and just accept it.  Sometimes we don't do everything by the book.  And really if you want to claim you are doing everything by the book then actually do it and not just kind of skip around, and really what pisses me off is don't say that I have a bad attitude when I am helping on a plane you are assigned to and I do more than you do!  That is all the ranting I am going to do but be assured that if he asks for my help in the near future the answer is going to be a no and I will definitely not be volunteering to help like I did today.

So this is kind of a random thought but here it goes anyway.  I have had a few friends lose their jobs during this economy and everyone chooses to do different things, look for a new job, go back to school, or join the military...  Ok so I haven't had a friend actually do the last one yet but they have asked me about it.  What I think, what they should do, and if I think they will like it.  Well let's be honest here.  I'm not active duty so it is different and I'm a female in a male dominated job.  So my perspective is going to be a little skewed.  I just don't know if people realize how serious it is to join the military.  Especially since this is a wartime situation.  Yes they have things that they want to do but you don't always get your dream job.  You are asked to go where you are needed and they will teach you how to do what they want you to do.  And another thing is that these people aren't in the best physical shape.  Guidelines are becoming more strict and it even more important in active duty.  It isn't something to be taken lightly and I think I just find it annoying that people are like, well if I can't find a job I can always fall back on the military.  It is at a minimum a 4 year commitment!  People need to be aware of what they are doing especially when I choice will stay with you for so long.

So I just realized, I have not been out in a while because I totally forgot about guys and their lame pic up lines.  We went out for Laura's birthday and some guy just looks at me and says, hey baby where's your boy friend?  Well I don't know what he thought was going to happen but it didn't work obviously.  I just kept walking and gave him a dirty look.  The rest of the night was fun, just had to go to work the next morning.  That was not fun.

Last night was a ton of fun other than KU losing.  It has been ages since I've gone out and man do I need to start doing it some more.  We did a happy hour at McFadden's and I was definitely over served.  That is ok though because I have to start "training" for my crawl for cancer.  Maybe I can find a drinking schedule to go along with my running schedule :)  I mean how else am I going to make it to 5 bars and an after party.  

So anyway, back to last night.  We started at 7 and happy hour ended at 9.  From then we could get half price drinks for the rest of the night.  I don't think I ended up drinking for the last 2 hours but I did angrily watch the game and yell at the tv.  Also, we did a lot of ice throwing because well that is how over served I was.  I do remember talking to a guy and my friend came up to me and said that he got some girl pregnant and that wasn't the girl he was with.  Not really sure how that came up but it was funny baby daddy drama at the time.  Really just a random night all around.  I wish we could have stayed out later but it is probably better that we came home and got some sleep.  Seeing as I spent some time making cookies with Katie (which ended up in a big mess).  They were delicious, well they were last night, didn't really eat them yet today and we heated up the fajitas I made yesterday for lunch.  All and all it was a really fun and crazy night.  Now I just have to get my car back from power and light...

I don't have a lot to say other than I am way tired, wish I didn't have to work for the next 4 days in a row.  I am irritated that our trip got cancelled and I went to DC twice in a week and didn't get to see anyone.  Other than that I guess life is about the same.

I am sure some of you are wondering what I am going to do as far as school and I am looking into nursing school.  I am having my transcripts reviewed at some schools to see what classes I would still need to take.  I am not sure how I am going to be able to take the last few classes I need with a very busy summer and fall coming up but I'll figure something out.  Anyway, that is about it.

I think I am going to try to plan a trip every other month for a while just for fun.  I know where I am going in April, which is Florida but I don't really know what to do for the following months.  I guess I should get on the ball.  I have plan for PTO and the guard and all that other stuff that is involved in my daily life.  

everything you need to know you learned in kindergarten

This concept is something that I saw in posters while going to school all the time but I am sure it has some validity.  Unfortunately I feel like I never really learned how to share.  I know this may sound odd to some of you while I am sure it seems like I am very generous and do take the time to consider many people in my life but sometimes I make this realization and I can't help that I'm a little greedy.  When I get something new I don't like others to use it.  I want it all to myself because I paid for it, I earned it, and it's mine.  How child like is that?  I can't help it though, I feel as it is something I can't change at this age but I just try to hide it.  So I guess this is just a warning, if I have something new, I don't want to share it, don't ask because I am probably too nice to say but I'll be secretly bitter at you.

Happy Mardi Gras, now I have to decide soon if I'll give up anything this year...

So I am finally getting back into the swing of things with work and having days off to do nothing again.  I amazed at how little I do on my days off.  Well I know the day has just began but I don't forsee a lot going on today.  I was going to go to the gym but I woke up in the middle of the night with back pains and it didn't get any better by the time I finally got up.  I think I am going to try to do some stretches in a bit and see what that does but I don't have really high hopes.  It is starting to feel better so no need to feel sorry for me but not good enough to go continue on my running schedule which is annoying because I just got back into running!  I swear I can never get past week one or two of my training.

Work is going fine but I forgot how tiring 12 hour shifts were.  Part way through the day I start getting tired and wish I only had 8 hour days like many other people.  But then again I am glad that I don't work 5 days a week.  So it is a compromise I am willing to make.  I think I was also ready for the weekend to be over because I just had a lot of patient families this weekend that were a little different.  For many reasons but it is not really nice to judge people but hey it is a blog so I am going to judge away.  I had a family where the mom doesn't work but she couldn't be bothered to even come visit her 5 month old baby in the two days I worked, a "child" who is 14 and her mom still talks to her like a baby so that is how she talks to people as well which really come on of course you'd rather be in a hospital than teased at school, a mom who was fake and nice to my face and complained about me to our charge nurse later in the day (I was told about it but told not to worry about it and kill her with kindness because that mom is a bitch and there was nothing I could do about the situation and I did what I was suppose to), and I also had a very neurotic mom that freaked out every time she had to leave, we always told her the same thing but she would do the same thing every time and I had her for the past 4 days I worked.  Really lady, it is the same thing every time, if you leave we'll check on your kid no big deal.  We appreciate that you are here and tell us when you leave but we aren't heartless we wont make children suffer.  So this may make you guys worry about bringing your children to Children's Mercy but honestly we all love kids or we would work somewhere else and get paid more but I really wish people would calm down, be nice, and realize sometimes when doctors give you a diagnosis to either accept it or leave and get a second opinion elsewhere, you aren't helping anyone by being rude and making us not like giving you, which sometimes means you don't get the best care we can give.  Venting done.

So I realize I don't do a good job at posting in this as it has almost been a month since I have written. In my defense this time I was out of the country and my internet time had to be used wisely as I was paying for it by the hour.

Nevertheless I am home now and I guess I should try to keep more updated but I don't find that I have many funny experience to share with others seeing as while my life is full I don't seem to run it that many things that feel necessary to share. Anyway, last night I spent a night in with the girls and we watched House Bunny. While this movie is by no means a good movie with great acting, we laughed quite a bit, maybe it was the margaritas, maybe it was the 3 hours of sleep I had and was awake for 20 but I think it is worth it if you want to watch a stupid funny movie. Our favorite character was the girl who was a little manish, if you ever watch you'll know who I mean.

As most of you know my trip was great, I got to see my parents and just hang out this time. No pressure to go so many places this time and just spent some quality time. We still did a lot of walking and I guess that is just to be expected in a pedestrian city. I just wish that I could get on regular sleep cycles a little more easily when I take these kind of trips. It takes me so long to get adjusted but as far as today goes I am doing pretty well, I slept from 1230 last night until about 8 this morning so yea! I probably should have tried to sleep a little longer since my body needs a little catch up after the 8 hours it got in 3 days but oh well.

I think today will be a little catching up with my brother and cleaning the apartment a little so it feels like I am back at home. Once I can settle in a little then I can start planning my next trip :) I don't know where it is going to be yet but I did tell my friend I would go to Texas for his birthday. It is not looking good as it is my weekend to work at the hospital and I am at that point that I have been taking off so much for both jobs that I feel like anymore time off anywhere is going to be greatly frowned upon and for some reason I hate asking for time off because I feel like I am gone all the time anyway. So just a little dilemma.

I guess I should get back to what I was doing, which is reading the Twilight series. Because after I am done with this book I am going to start moving towards things I have to do and I am hoping to get stuff done before I leave the apartment today. I have a feeling that I might lean towards lazy and catch up a little more on my shows but I am going to try to resist the temptation.

So something I've been pondering today which seeing as I have only been up for a couple hours isn't that long. But anyway it is whether or not you should let people know when you think they are doing something stupid. Life is all about experience so if you see someone choosing something that isn't smart should you step in or just allow other people to make their own mistakes? Why there is probably never a great answer to questions like this it is something to think about.

I am so bad at updating this but there really hasn't been that much going on in my life. I have had a lot of fun with having friends in from out of town. We had lots of eating out, eating desserts, and new years eve was a lot of fun. While I wish we would have stayed at sol cantina longer because it has the best music it was fun to hang out with the girls. Unfortunately while we were at sol there was someone who needs to see a GI doctor. He or she was letting out the most foul farts. Thank goodness for Sara and her roll on perfume.

A nice highlight of the weekend was that the Limited at Town Center is going out of business so I got a new suit for about $150! yea!
