Lately...

So, like I said when I started this whole blogging thing, I was wondering if my life would be exciting enough for anyone to care what I'm doing. I don't feel like I've done anything really "blog-worthy" lately, but to keep all you faithful readers (uh, like 2 people) interested, here's what I've been up to the past few weeks since Florida...

We've had a lot of patients coming into the hospital with the flu. I feel like a mask has been glued to my face while I'm at work. I was a little worried about getting the swine flu vaccine, but I'm kind of glad I got it now...these people look miserable. But then again, what flu isn't miserable? For as much as I have been exposed to it, I think the vaccine is working. It's gotten to the point where the hospital is screening people before they come into the hospital to determine if they have flu symptoms, and if they do, they are not allowed in the hospital, unless they want to be treated for the symptoms. Let's just say I'll be so happy when this flu season is over; the sad thing is, it's only just begun...

I saw this movie:

I didn't have too high expectations for this movie. I was never totally smitten with MJ like a lot of people were. I liked his songs well enough, but beyond that, I didn't really care for him. I just thought he was kind of a weird looking guy with a fake face (sorry, I'm just being honest!). But this movie was actually quite entertaining and I really enjoyed it. It really looked like it was going to be an awesome concert, it's kind of a shame that he was never able to even perform it once. Those darn benzodiazepines and propofol...

It still never ceases to amaze me the changes throughout the years

I bought this vacuum (Alicia, this is for you!)...

It's about time I bought one after living in my apartment for nearly a year, right? The carpet WAS looking a little dirty! Just kidding. I was using an old one my mom gave me, and while vacuuming one day, the handle became very hot, starting smoking quite a bit and emitted a foul, burning smell. Needless to say, I immediately turned it off, opened the windows, and decided that vacuum had seen its last carpet cleaning day.

I am also anxiously awaiting the arrival of a new niece! Paul's (my bro) wife RaeAnn is preg-o and is due just about any day now, and I can't stinking wait to meet their new little girl! (And to find out what they're going to name her...I'm pretty sure they'll name her after me, but they're keeping it on the DL, and I can't say I blame them...they don't want everyone to be jealous of me because I WILL be this baby's favorite aunt! :))

Mostly I've been spending a lot of time with family and friends. No pictures, sorry, but I've been enjoying my downtime on my off weeks from work. My next week off I get to hang out with Kirk, which I'm pretty darn excited about. I'm not counting down or anything...:)

Until next time!
