Happy Valentine's Day!

Just when I think there's no hope for my husband's romantic side he goes and does this......

I was off work on Friday so when the hospital supervisor called Friday night to beg me to work that night from 11pm to 7am Saturday morning I gave in and said yes. An occasional night doesn't bother me, I've always been kind of a night owl anyway, and I really like the night staff of nurses. So as my hubby was leaving the hospital finally at 11pm I was coming in. The night shift was okay, busy and steady but not hectic. So there I am at 7:15 the next morning knee deep in report and my wonderful husband walks into the conference room among all the nurses and hands me a large skinny vanilla latte from Starbucks, wishes me a Happy Valentines Day, and walks out---and if you can picture this---all the nurses going "Awwww". Now, who was he scoring points with??? Me or all the nurses??? ;0)

I really wanted to go home and sleep but my best friend was coming home from the hospital so I put a turkey breast in the crockpot, mashed potatoes with cream cheese in the crockpot, whipped up a batch of my mom's homemade Arkansas stuffing and went to work on homemade brownies (one of my sister's wonderful recipes). Mid-afternoon the doorbell rang which immediately sends my dog into a barking frenzy and it's a flower delivery! For Me! From darling husband!

Needless to say he really scored points this weekend. If he only knew that he could have stopped at the latte-because I know what it took for him to walk through a room of unforgiving, gossiping nurses and wish me a happy valentines!

Love you Honey...

A Nice Update....

Just saw my best friend at the hospital tonight and she is doing wonderfully. I can't tell you what a relief it was to see she actually looked herself just a little rough around the edges. And in need of a good shampoo but most of us can't go a day without one!

Gee, she made it to her room about 7:30pm after surgery and at 2am this morning they had her sitting on the side of the bed and by 8am had her in a chair. Guess I'm not the only mean nurse out there! Don't you know they teach us that in nursing school, just like they teach doctors to write illegibly!

So glad you're feeling better, can't wait to hear about your excursion in the hallway tomorrow! I guess you were definately determined this time because Friday looks like a really good day to come home.

Lazy Sunday...

To Do List:
*Pay bills
*Fold laundry
*Make dinner
*Shake rugs and wash the kitchen floor
*Iron scrubs for work this week
*Clean the downstairs bathroom
*For that matter clean my own bathroom

So what am I doing instead? Surfing the web, drinking my 3rd cup of coffee, reading the Trib, and putting off everything else!

65 degrees here yesterday! It was 7 on Tuesday. What is up with that??? No sunshine today so it's kind of depressing.

My friend has surgery tomorrow so that's really all that's on my mind today. I think it hit her Friday that this was really going to happen. Tomorrow will be a long day for all involved. I don't envy her husband having to sit around pretty much all day and wait. Love you T-my prayers are with you.

Here's hoping for an early spring-yesterday was a teaser. I really don't care if the groundhog saw his shadow this week. If he'd been diligent on his diet and exercise it would be sunny and warm again today ;0)
