Day three ......in the big apple:)

Well folks...I'm starting to really love this city:) I'm getting used to the rush rush, move over atmosphere!...ha...
Today we went to Macy's and it was tooo much! I spent sooo much time in there, and could have spent more but they had to drag me and Brittney out..lol! We walked up and down Times Square and picked out the spot we wanna try to be at tomorrow...good luck huh?...
We also went to the Wax museum..which was totally awesome! We had soooo much fun in there. Then we ended the day with Applebee's...and we just got home! (it took us 1 hour and 13 minutes to take the subways, and to walk home....I think we walk about a total of 20miles a day....!
Well I'm exhausted and going to bed we have a big day ahead tomorrow and it's going to be a late one!!!

Day two in the big apple

Well I survived another day.....we went to the Brooklyn bridge, visited Ground Zero, and went to SoHo aka China town..I spent sooo much money , but it was fun! I have never seen so much fake stuff in my life....from purses, to scarfs, to jewelry, to shoes...etc...It was a different experience to say the least!!!

Picture above...man on the sidewalk selling Rolex's and Coach purses out of his suitcase...lol

Picture above...At the end of the night, we were going to get on the subway and Sam went in front of and as I was scanning my card she thought it would be funny to spin to bar's around before I went through...well it wouldn't let me through for another 18 minutes...Everyone else was on the other side waiting and laughing at me...ha (pic above)

First day in the big apple:)

Today was my first day in New York City...it was rather interesting, fun, exciting, and hectic..I'm soooo tired, I have now been up for 32 hours and I'm ready for bed.

We arrived around 9:40am and we haven't stopped since We went to the Metropolitan Museum and also to Times Square....it was sooo exciting! Figuring out the subways was the most interesting part of the day...ha

When we left the museum....i looked at everyone and said...ok did u learn anything??..then.....Who was buried in Tut's tomb?...and Samantha replied..uhhhhh Jesus...LOLOLOL tooo funny..we didn't even see Tut's tomb today...but the funniest thing is she didn't realize that it was Tut..hahhahaha..It's been interesting..and I will have to say I've been keeping them laughing the whole time~

(the pics are a lil blurry b/c they were takin with my phone)

LOST~~

I lost my new coat that I got for winter! I bought it at the Buckle..it's dark brown plaid and it has buckles instead of buttons, and also a hood..If I have left it at anyone's house, or if you have seen it please let me know.. Thanks..lol.. I'm soooo mad that I have lost it!!!!!!!!!!

Less than 24 hours..

Well less than 24 hours and I will be in New York City!! I'm so flippen excited!!! I don't know what I'm going to do when I get there, I will probably pee my pants..ha ..jk
Well Christmas went by slowly for me...I woke up and went to my brothers and watched my nephews open their presents! They were too excited! They both got gameboys, and a play station 2 along with tons of games. Then we went to my mom's house and ate breakfast. That was fun! After the kids opened their presents we all took a nap and ended up not getting up till my nephew came in and said "Dad it's 4:45 when are we leaving?..."..ha we didn't realize we all slept that late. We ended up eating again....lol steak, chicken and shrimp...or better know in Zak's terms Shimp..I taught my nephew's how to make my step-dads famous home-made salsa...which was a mess.. It was nice relaxing and spending time with the fam..oh ya..and we played Sorry with the boys..Zak won. It will be a Christmas to remember:) I hope everyone else had a great Christmas:)

What a day....

Today was crazzzyy....it all started when mom called at 8am to just chat. Boy was I mad! So I got up and got ready and went to the car wash...it was sooo nice outside! Well I did the normal, took out the mats, and put my quarters in the vacuum machine and hustled around tha car trying to beat the timer...After I was done I took the mats and put them back in the car and what the crap...there was bird doo doo all down the inside window of my car, on my car seat, and on the floor board! I was flippen ticked! When did he have time to dooo dooo??

Later on we had my mom's family Christmas, which is always interesting! It all started when my brother showed up. He went over to the neighbors, (which my mom only has one b/c she lives in the country)and he invited them over and mom got mad. While he was over there, his phone rang and mom answered it and it was a bill collector...olololol too funny. Then my mom answered my phone, and invited a friend/bug of mine over, and I didn't want him to come. It was crazy!!!

The gift exchange was pretty interesting, my grandpa ended up with a women's necklace..lol, my brother ended up with a fart machine, my lil cousin age 10 ended up with some de-icer for your car...it was rather amusing....I suggested that we draw names next year instead of doing the 5.00 white elephant gift b/c it's so lame!

Other than that my sis in law ended up getting a shirt from my mom that was so hideous ....we all had a name for it, one of us called it a sushi worker,solider boy ..ha,the lil drummer boy, going on tha Belle of Louisville, that shirt had it for tha night!!! I ended up getting a baby doll from my mom...what in the world was she thinking.....I don't know...it was tooo funny watching my nephew fight me for it..I was like it's all yours dude I don't want it...lol...he carried it around for a while!(picture above) I still can't figure out why my mom bought me a baby doll...ha i didn't even play with dolls much...i was more of a barbie doll girl..i dunno..it puzzles me!
We played this game called boxers or briefs...that was pretty fun...and we also played the tipsy waiter...!
So that was my day...and it then on my way home my speaker on my phone stops working...no one can hear me....i haven't even had this phone 3 mths...i'm so ticked...but life will go on..huh?..........

So glad to tell 2007 goodbye!!

2007 has been the roughest and most tell all year ever! Crazy huh? I have had so many gains and losses! God has brought me through so much this year and he deserves all the credit!!! First of all I want to say the most important gain is finding my personal relationship with God again...I've grown so much deeper with him this year and I'm happy to say that I'm back where I used to be with Christ but it's deeper! Another gain is my church...It ROCKS! I have never been in a church that I can say that I'm truly excited about going to. Yeah, I've always enjoyed going to church, but this church I get too pumped up about it, and I'm proud to say I'm a member. And believe it or not I invite everyone, including my doctors, coworkers, family and friends. Other gains, I got a new apartment by myself (no roomies),i turned 25 which is half of 50,i got new car(2007),a new cellphone, got my ears pierced for the first time ever, got my first tattoo, got a new job position at my company, started school, became cancer free, I also got out of a unhealthy three year relationship,and I gained a bunch of new friends. Now the losses....I lost my ex, which I realized he ended up being a gain, I lost my best friend Lori she moved to Texas, my best friend Jonell is moving to Dallas, I lost a lot of weight, my good friend Jordan moved to Florida. Good thing is I didn't loose my mind:)

Yeah it's been a crazy year but I really feel that 2008 is going to be better for me!

My little tree....

I wasn't going to put up a tree since it's just me...but Monica insisted! So we went to Big Lots and I gave her a $5.00 limit on tree decorations..lol...this is what she came up with!:) She did a Stellar job huh? I was proud of her!! (it even has two little stocking's hanging from the bottom)

Do buffalo's have wings?

Yeah I caught myself asking the question "Do buffalo's have wings?" Jonell and I went to Bw3's a few weeks ago and while we were there I said I wonder why they call it buffalo wild wings, do buffalo's have wings?...she laughed so hard...and when she was bending over laughing I saw this picture ...and I said then why would this buffalo have wings..I still don't get it..ha!

Up close and personal

I love my job but I hate gettin up close and personal with everyone's morning breath! What's worse is when patients come in and they start singing to the song playing on the radio and i'm drawing their blood.. I want to gag the whole time.. I will never forget the time when I was drawing this lady and she started singing with the radio "winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call" that puts out sooo much air....i had to turn my head just to breathe... FYI...if your going to be having fasting lab work done at least brush your teeth!! And yes it's okay to chew sugar free gum!!! Help us out a lil bit here! And if you have a track record of passing out at least ask to be laied down! lol

Another booger cat..

Yesterday at church this girl around the age of 13 was playing with her booger...i can't even explain on how funny it was. She just kept bouncing/sticking it between her pointer finger and her thumb! I was soo grossed out...At one point she crossed her arms for a moment and then brought it back out and repeated the process.... I couldn't help but laugh...it went on for about 20 minutes...lol Then after the preaching I stood up and saw her smear the booger on the seat...yucko.... Yes i found out her family is UK fan's...!!! (Gotta love my fellow UK fans:)

Reason's I'm thankful I don't live in Scottsburg...

I will be working here all week so ..i'm going to add each day...

Day 1
1. Thankful I don't have to drive 39 miles to the nearest mall

2. Thankful I have all my teeth

3. Thankful I don't smell like farm animals

4. Thankful Louisville drivers don't have bumper sticker's that say: "I love my Goats"

5. At lunch time they all get really excited they get to watch Family Feud.

6. Get spit on by patients!

7. I asked..."Mam have you been fasting today?" she replied "Well I'd had two'd swollars of coke this morn" ..........hahahhahah i started laughing inside so hard!

Honesty...sometimes hurts both parties

Tonight I was at Target, and this lady walked up to me and asked me to give my honest opinion on a sweater.. Well those who know me know I don't hold nothing back...She said "Mam,you seem to know style and I want you to give your honest opinion on this sweater." I chuckled to myself and said "Are you sure you want my honest opinion?,because out of all the people in this store I will be the one you would probably get the most honest opinion from." she said yes..so i blurted out "Umm no, I don't think it looks good with your skin tones, it makes you look pale, I think you should go with neutral colors." (hello the sweater was hot pink and just plain!!!) She said thanks and walked away...i felt bad but I would want the truth!!!...sometimes the truth hurts but you don't want to look like a fool later...Never-the-less i saw that sweater later on and it was $60.00.... what?/%^& at Target..what tha noodle?? Target's prices have went up!lololol that sweater would have been a waste of money..so i saved her $60.dollars...ha

It's almost Christmas....

It's almost Christmas and i haven't went shopping for one thing! I'm too wrapped up in preparing for my New York trip! I leave in 13 days...yipeee yaaa yahhh !! I will remember all of you when i'm watching the ball drop and you guys are watching the ball drop on your tv..haha..lol!

Tonight I went to Wally world with my Auntie Barbie and this man walked up to her truck and asked her for some gas money. He said that he did't have any money and his wife and kids were in the car. He had spent the last of his money on getting a belt fixed on his car. He offered to give us his knife, cell phone, license, etc. She told him not to worry and followed him to the Walmart gas station and filled his car up..He was sooo excited! I kept tellin Barbie to invite him to church... She told him that all she wanted was for him to come to church..he said he would!:) I believe God sent him to us for a reason:) Just as we were leaving; the gas station attendant came up to me and asked me what we were doing...she was thrilled, she said she had just told her husband the other day that no one seems to be in the Christmas spirit of giving these days. So we blessed not one family but two families!

Also........ Please Pray for the Larry and Louie Birkhead family because of the loss of their father! They will be laying him to rest tomorrow.;(

Is it a full moon?

This afternoon was crazy at work.. first of all I was interupted during lunch to draw this ladies blood! When I brought her back she smelled the food and said she was hungry, ha...well after I drew her blood she said she was getting dizzy and and needed something to eat so I got her a breadstick and some diet coke. She refused to sit back down because she thought it would be too much trouble to get back up...LADY..your dizzy..lol.. So anyways..I needed a urine specimen from her...i handed her a hat..which is a container that you collect urine in, she went in the bathroom along with her breadstick and diet coke..lololl by this time i'm laughing so hard b/c im pictureing this old lady on the toliet with a diet coke and a bread stick..Ok 15 minutes later she was out the door... and i had forgot all about the hat.. I had several more patients that needed urines...well about 5 patients later..i told my lab partner to go see where that hat was..and well it was still on the toliet..no one bothered to move it...GROSS...well a few more patients..(and well look at the picture.). the hat ended up on the wall...lol...we laughed soo hard..i don't know who put it there..but that's flippen funny!!!!

The other picture....happend a few hours later...i came to my desk and there sat a specimen for g&c and a pap on my desk.. now who in their right mind would put bodily fluids on someones' desk..man did i have a rough but halarious day...

And the cutiest quote i heard from our youngest doctor today was "neato mosquito"~..

Well i'm signing out ..

As i sit and study...

Tomorrow is my finals...I'm not even slightly prepared..and the most honest thing is I don't even care.. Why?? Well if you know me, I'm sure you know why, I don't let things get to me that easily..I'm pretty laid back! I haven't always been this way, but over the last several years I've learned a whole lot and I try not to let the little things get to me!
I have sooo much on my mind tonight.....God has brought me sooo far, which brings me to what I'm getting ready to say next. Have you ever been told or prophesied over something..and you ignored it...Well this certain prophecy was prophesied on my life not one not two but three different times..And at the time, I was young and didn't know what to do...but since then I've been running from God's calling in my life. And now it's going on six year's. I've put it off many times and i'm now at the point where I feel cornered and don't know what to do. I just pray that God will give me the courage to stand up and be faithful to his promise for my life! I don't want to let him down! But i don't want to do it alone!
Wanna know what it is??...just ask me! It will probably blow your mind like it blew mine!
