I had a nice morning and afternoon with boyfriend.
We went shopping and out for lunch.
I'm lucky that boyfriend, like me, likes to shop. I like shopping even if I don't buy anything. It's fun to look....plan, dream. For me it is...........especially if I'm not rushed......and if the place I'm shopping isn't crowed or busy.
I bought "girl stuff" today. Such as new blush and mascara.......new blush brush.......moisturizer....etc........I start my new assignment at work Monday. New girl stuff I thought would help with the new attitude. :O)
I bought daughter 2 new shirts. They're Danskin workout shirts on sale for 2 bucks......plus they're cute!
Daughter and friend are at the mall looking at prom dresses. Boyfriend is napping. Mr. Bojangles and I are on the couch. WePing is on the living room window seal.
It's a quiet day.
I like it.

saturday
So some good came out of the meeting with my boss.
One of the people who complained is being moved to my unit to work. My work load is double hers.
I have 31 patients verses her 14. All of those patients are about the same level of care. My boss said other nurse has never really had to work( been stretched beyond imagination, buried, pulled in 900 different directions at once) and she wants her to "walk a day in your shoes." I have to take what she said at face value, not question if that's the real reason I'm being pulled off my unit. I keep reminding myself that she complimented me over and over in our meeting about how "your work is flawless"........she promised I wasn't being punished. That it was the other nurse she had the problem with......
I'm just gonna have a little faith that she's being honest with me. Things have a way of working out for the best.
I'm relieved to be leaving my assignment.
My contract with the agency that has my house listed ends today.
We've had a handful of showings the past couple of weeks.
Nothing has come of it.
I love my home. It represents my hard work....and it's where I raised my kids.
Someday I'll let it go. Not today though.
Boyfriend just called. "Get up! Let's go!"
So I'm going to get up and go now.
Have a great day.

i'm at a loss
So I was called in to my bosses, bosses office today. She called me in her office to tell me I have a bad attitude........I think that's what she said.........something along that line.......she also said that for the past couple of months I've been withdrawn, stand offish and I'm passive aggressive.(her observations and someone elses.) "But, your work is flawless.Seriously, it's very good. It's flawless."
She wasn't calling me in to discipline me. (that's what she said.) Being called in to the bosses office to be told your attitude sucks sure feels like you're being disciplined.
Is she right about what she said?
I'm opinionated, assertive, passionate maybe.....not passive aggressive.
She didn't threaten me/my job in any way other than calling me in her office.............that in and of its self feels threatening....................................and I'm sure she wasn't calling me in for the fun of it...........................so I'm guessing she expects to see changes in my behavior. Atleast she's giving me a chance....................unless her mind is made up and she's just going through the motions.............Here's the thing though.......I think she actually liked me more after our talk than she did before our talk........
I liked her more after the talk....(so that's a good thing.....right?)..........it was a productive meeting. I was able to get some work related stuff off my chest.
I just want to do my job.
All the other crap doesn't come easy for me.
I'm not good at game playing and politics.
I can't not be the person that I am.
Someone enlighten me.
I need help.
I don't want to lose my job.

tuesday
While watching the state of the union tonight i noticed that several of the women in the audience were wearing lime green/green colored suits.............ugly.
On the other hand, amny of the men wore some really pretty ties.........including the purple tie Boehner was wearing.
we had two showings of my house today. one was a no show. we haven't had any feed back from the other one.
i signed off on the condo contract today. i sat on it for several days. but today when condo lady informed me that she went ahead and installed flooring, and not the flooring that i picked, i signed the papers that ended my obligation with her. i feel relieved.

01/19/11 (i think)
We're expecting six inches of snow early tomorrow. School has already been canceled.
The thought of being snowed in is appealing to me.
I was off work today.
I worked on a couple of paintings for sons place.
They're looking pretty good, kind of...........sort of................................. I also painted a few rocks.
They turned out cute.

sunday
Son preparing lunch for us in HIS kitchen.
son lounging in HIS recliner at HIS place.
Mom checking sons refrigerator. It's clean and filled with beer!Last but not least is a picture of We-Ping and Mr. Bojangles. I seldom get a picture of them together. They were having a stand off in the bathroom.
We had an OK time at sons place today. We had lunch together.
They seem happy. That's all that's important to me........
We got home at 4. I fell asleep when we got home and slept for 6 hours........woke up and called off for work tomorrow.
PS.....There's a visitor at my work who comes each evening to visit his wife. I always welcome him and ask him how he's doing. His reply every time I ask is "I'm happy." I like his response. It makes me smile.
kiss me once.......well maybe twice.
The realtor called today. Someone is coming to look at the house tomorrow. I haven't canceled the contract yet on the condo.......just got the papers a couple days ago.......now I'm not sure what I'll do if we get an offer on the house. I thought this whole thing was settled........
I'm not cleaning my house for tomorrows viewing. I'm tired, have cramps and quite frankly I just don't care if I get an offer or not.
Sons were supposed to come over tomorrow for supper. Since strangers will be walking through my home I called sons and asked if we could bring pizza to their place and have supper together there instead...........so that's what's happening tomorrow.
I'm listening to my Jewel CD. The news is on. I'd rather hear music then hear about people killing people.
Lines from songs from this CD that I like:
1.He looked like a potato shoved in the jeans.
2. Everybody needs someone some time.
3. Sister Mary used to be a nun. She thought she'd retire and have her some fun.
4.I will let you undress me.... but I warn you I have thorns like any rose.
5.Feels like being under water now that I've let go, lost control.......
6. Kiss me once.....well, maybe twice....
7. Don't ever give away what you can't get back...
8.you thought i didn't notice the skin on your teeth had a tear....
9. women teach wise men to pout
10. love me, just leave me alone.
11. your mother was a wolf bite, you daddy was a cigarette
12. i hate you. i love you. leave, don't go away.
13.i do not understand why a woman cannot just love a man........
14. you've got moth holes in your pocket.....you've got moth holes in your soul....
15. sometimes it be that way...
16. sorry i was a point you were destined to miss.
17.love be still. love be sweet. don't you dare change a thing.....

lazy day
I was lazy today.
Actually I slept most of the day away.........until daughter came home from school......and then I packed my lunch for work tomorrow..........................went through the mail.............deducted receipts from my check book..................made breakfast for supper.....................sat at the kitchen table with boyfriend and daughter and had supper.............................did dishes.......................laid out my work clothes for tomorrow..............and threw in a load of laundry..........oh, and I picked about 10 used fabric sheets up off the basement floor.
I'm going to figure out how to use the video on my camera so I can video WePing knocking on the kitchen door. I think it's hysterical that she knocks on the door when she wants to come back in the house.
Daughters report card came yesterday.
She brought all her grades up..............but she still isn't on easy sailing............I'll be relieved when she graduates.

This morning.

this little guy lives in an aquarium at the Belterra. he'd come up to the glass whenever a person was near. he was cute and friendly.
They end up like this every year. Not sure who does it.......one of my nephews I'm sure..........Monday, January 10, 2011
a night with my sisters
I had a great time this evening with my sisters. They all showed up in their pj's so that they'd be ready for bed when they got home later tonight. I thought it was funny.
After dinner we sat around my coffee table talking, and talking, and laughing, and then we laughed some more.
Dinner turned out delicious.
I baked Cornish hens....... made a spinach salad with red onions, mushrooms, and black olives...............and also made some boiled red potatoes. It really was tasty.
The table looked beautiful.......and it didn't go un noticed that it's the first time in many years that we were gathered around the dining room table from our childhood. :O)
The night has left me feeling happy.
My oldest sister is one of the funniest people I've ever known.........and she doesn't even try to be......my youngest sister has a sharp wit and is also funny..........my second oldest sister wears her heart on her sleeve.......and then my sister # 3 (the birthday girl) is probably the most grounded of us five......
I love them all......

It snowed here last night.
I love the snow.
It's beautiful...........especially when it's falling at night time.
It was a long day at work today.
That's all I have to say about that stuff.
Monday I'm having family over for dinner for my sisters birthday.
I'm looking forward to it.
