Yes, I meant to remind her to take off the pee pee dance thing too! :thumbup:

I AM lucky to be his mom!! Another person applied for him but I kept begging them for him, and since I had adopted Jake from them (who was also abused) they let me take Brutus. I told them that we cherish him every day that he is here and thanked them profusely for letting him be part of our lives!! He adds so much to the "crew" here!! (And he was the best medicine after kicking my husband out after what happened...and probably a huge part of the reason I haven't given in and taken him back once again! Mastiffs cannot stand yelling and he raises his voice all the time...I always have in the back of my mind what effect he would have on poor Brutus if he were here!) So overall, Brutus has made me stronger. He is such a good boy.

Well, I guess I will have to look for a PACU job too so I won't feel left out. Oh wait-I will be one of those ICU beotches till the day I die (or my back gives out) probably!

Cool, we're all just a bunch of skinny bitches! :thumbup: Tell "Marty" hi!! I swear I am going to come visit you gals one of these days! That is not a threat, it is a promise!!! (Aren't you all glad I DID sleep for awhile so you didn't have to listen to this ALL night?)

Bob texted me last night and told me that she was thinking about coloring her hair dark. I told her to do it so Shelbi wouldn't be confused anymore!! (Just kidding). I was temporarily considering going brunette again for fall, then I remembered what a pain in the butt it was to keep up with the roots and changed my mind. (I am a natural blonde so I had to dye my roots every two weeks....what a drag!) Although I did tell her about you confusing the two of us and she thought that was really funny! I told her I just took it as a compliment since she is the tall, skinny one out of the two of us!!

$5 an hour?? Psssttt...I work in the lowest paid area of the country for nursing. We only get $2 an hour. When I agreed to do this (because I am not required to take reduced since I am the weekender) I only did it because it sounded like a sure thing that I would get called in to the other campus because they were so busy. (It usually is a sure thing they will call you in for some stupid thing that they won't suck up and take care of themselves.) Plus, I figured it would be easier than going to my campus, taking 3 patients,having them call and say they needed a nurse, then having to report over to one of the non-Illinois licensed nurses after they came into work from being reduced, drive all the way over to the other hospital, and take report all over again. That usually takes about two hours and it ANNOYS me when they do it to us when we need a nurse, so I was trying to be considerate to them. Well, I fell asleep at 11pm, just woke up, and no phone call all night!! (And they won't call now because it's too late in the game). So I lost a whole nights weekender incentive (which is $7 an hour), and a whole nights weekend night shift incentive (which is $2 an hour). And had to use my stupid earned time to boot. Now I am cranky with myself that I agreed to do it. Oh well. On the bright side, I got to spend extra time with my doggies, Brutus slept on my chest all night and loved me up, and I got extra sleep! (Although how I could even sleep all night is beyond me, I slept all day yesterday!) I think I will get up now and go to Kohls soon for the early bird specials and see if I can find any new cute clothes! :thumbup: (With all the money that I didn't make last night, LOL!)

Good luck! PACU would be great, I have thought about doing it myself!! (We have one PACU nurse at our hospital that is SCARY-I figure if she can do it, I definitely could!!) Start looking for (affordable) spa packages ladies!!! Of course, we will have to find somewhere that is not TOO serene because I have a feeling we will be quite rowdy when we are all together!:thumbup:

I'm glad I could make less work for you Shelbi. And I will take it as a huge compliment that I look like Bob since she is like a sister to me! And yes, we will definitely watch Airplane also!!! Night night! 5 am, YUCK!!!!

So Dee, do you mean if I had snuck to Colorado to see you, you wouldn't even have recognized me? That would have been funny!! I forgot to tell you all-yesterday I emailed the shelter I adopted Brutus from a long update on his progress with lots of pictures. They are going to feature him as their success story in their holiday newsletter.:thumbup: They were impressed that he looks like a real mastiff now, not like a blow pop.

Der Wienerschnitzel is just turning my tummy on...and we don't even have one here anymore! Good thing!! So what do you think we should do for our bandito weekend? Everyone chime in-this will take major planning!!!!

I hope he doesn't charge you the full $150 either. Unfortunately, my fill doc does. He even did after HE measured wrong because there was an air bubble in the syringe and he filled it too full and had to unfill me a few weeks later. I'm telling ya, he's greedy!! I hope yours is better! (I guess it is still better for me than having to pay airfare to fly to Colorado...but if I had one under flouro my insurance would pay for it, so I don't understand what the big deal is...)

Who needs birth control when you're depressed and not living with your husband? She only put me on it because I was not regularly getting my periods.....I am not sure if it is worth it because of the food cravings. I have been eating like a pig all week despite the fact that I still lost weight.

Eat some chili cheese fries for me while you're at it! :thumbup: (I normally don't crave this stuff but I am having HORRIBLE TOM cravings since they put me on Yaz!)

I hate, hate, hate being on call!!!! Just sitting here waiting for the inevitable!! I feel like I can't do anything productive, I am scared I won't hear the phone ring, it just sucks!! Being on call stinks!!

I am in the same boat as you, depressed with no sex drive. But I would kill for a chili cheese dog. Too bad I would PB from it!

Ok everyone-WE MUST STOP DEE THE HORNDOG!!!! Probably even the talk of der wienerschnitzel was turning her on!!!

Shelbi-I changed my avatar so you wouldn't confuse Bob and I anymore! :thumbup:

I love the boobie shaking banana-she kills me every time!:w00t:

Mini-not to be nit picky here, but I am going to be since my fill doc was SO insistent I was going to gain back a bunch of weight when he unfilled that 0.3 ccs....Anyway, I lost another pound since last night. I know, nit picky, but oh well! :thumbup: Well, I got reduced census but I have to be on call for all three ICU's because I was the only one in our unit with an Illinois license. Which sucks, because now I just have to sit here all night, not really being able to do anything, and wait for the dreaded phone call to go into the other hospital where they will use and abuse me all night. And with my luck I will have to work with that dipshit nurse that wouldn't tell me anything about my husband when he was in their ICU. And I will want to beat her. Must restain myself!!!! But the alternative is to sit here on call, not get called in, and not make my weekend incentive pay. It is pretty much a no win situation! Maybe I will watch Superbad to entertain myself until they call!!

Whoo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:thumbup::w00t::w00t::w00t::cool2::w00t::tt2::w00t::w00t::w00t::w00t:

Hey, I have been thinking....(never a good thing....) What if, like a year from now, so we have time to plan and save, we have a get together where we all meet somewhere for a bandito/girls weekend at a spa or something? Wouldn't that be the bomb?? I think it would be awesome if we could all get together in person and hang out. We could watch Superbad and drink wine! :thumbup:

Ok, I guess I better put my grown up uniform on and get ready for work. :thumbup: I would rather stay and act like an eigth grader. And unfortunately I am the most mature one at work tonight so I will have to crack the whip and keep them in line. I swear, I hate being a grown up!!

Yes, you are funny and my friend, so there!!! Tell everyone I said that and print it out!! And don't just drink in the morning, drink all day!! I am sure a yard sale would be that much more amusing three sheets to the wind!!:thumbdown: FOSHO!! And yes, Tucker, like most labs, has SKILLS. I know my labs would be milking it fosho!!!

I'll bet there was lots of Buster swearing involved if he did go! I can hear him in my head! Too funny!

OMG, I freakin LOVE Lisa Lampanelli (and my husband loves her even more)! I am sooo jealous!!!! And no, I can't believe she is performing in Utah!! I am so glad there are other peeps out there who love Superbad! Other than American Pie, I don't think I have ever laughed so hard at a movie!! There are too many funny parts to even review!!!:thumbdown: But my fave is still the fake ID....and then the cops who believe it...and then the cops period!! A close runner up is the "spot" on his pants he gets from dancing with that chick at the party. That was pretty funny! (Apparently I am an eighth grade boy dressed in an ICU nurse uniform! Of course, most ICU nurses have totally warped senses of humor also-I am not alone by any means!):thumbup: My other all time favorite is "Airplane". Soooo politically uncorrect in these times, but soooo funny!
