merry christmas...

it is christmas eve and i am sitting here in the e.r. we have had one heck of a weekend! i was finally able to meet some of the flight crew for the air ambulance service that i would love to work for. angel one is the air ambulance for the children's hospital here in arkansas. we called them for an overdose that came into our e.r. we also had a very, very sad case this weekend. so very sad. other than that, nothing exciting happened this weekend. we were super busy, and this weekend it was actually sick people. which is a refreshing change of pace.

so christmas is tomorrow. it does not feel like it....at all. i am excited about having ham and dressing for the second weekend in a row! it is my favorite meal!! this is the time of year that people are asking what you want for christmas. there weren't many material things that i wanted this year, but there are quite a few non-material things that i would love to have.

christmas is my favorite time of year. it seems to put everyone is a giving and happy mood. but one reminder that i was given this weekend is that the happiest time of year can also be the saddest time of year for some. so while many of us have more than we could ever possibly need; we should remember those who struggle for even the necessities of life.

merry christmas and happy new year!

i am still alive!

man! i am a horrible blogger! what have i been up to....well let me share.

i have been helping my bff, Melissa with her new business venture. she bought our local scrapbook store! i so wish that i was at a point in my life where we could have been business partners, but i am so far from that! we have had a blast cleaning and reorganizing and brainstorming. it has been a blessing for me to be able to help her. it has taken my mind off of everything going on in my life. the store has been super busy...which is a great thing! this time of year is a lot of fun too, because all of the husbands come in and freak out a little. they look so overwhelmed...it is so funny. i think i have heard "who knew there were so many papers and stickers out there!" if they only knew! i am a pretty good salesperson...if i do say so myself. maybe it is because it is Christmas, but guys are an easy sell! all i know is that there are going to be many happy scrappers this Christmas!

i had a photo shoot last week for one of my favorite nurses! she is giving these pics of her kiddos as gifts this year. we had a lot of fun doing these! however i do know that i will not...i repeat...will not have five children! wow, they drain you! i think that i may have had a migraine at the end of this!

here are some of my favorite shots...you can click on them to see bigger images.















i have also been busy getting registered for classes. it is official i am going to be a RN. i'm a little nervous, but i think it will be fun. i received my bill for classes this semester...it is ridiculous how much it costs to go to school. ugggh! i talked to the nurse anethesist at work this weekend, and he thinks that i might be able to get into school without working for two years. if that could happen i would LOVE it! it would mean moving to either jonesboro, memphis, or oklahoma, but it would be worth it.

we had a WILD weekend at work this past weekend. all i am going to say is that a machete, a drunk man, and two innocent bystanders were involved. i work in a town of crazy people....crazy!

i also rode a motorcycle for the first time this weekend. it was a hayabusa. it was probably too cold to ride, but we did it anyway! it is a lot of fun, but i don't know that I will ever be comfortable on a motorcycle!

other than that i haven't been up to much. a little shopping, a little scrapping, playing with photoshop a bit....but that is about it!

are you aware that Christmas is three days away!!! i can't believe it! guess i need to do some shopping tomorrow before i head to work tomorrow!

merry christmas and happy new year!
