My favorite*new* computer word

BAH. This is my favorite new computer word. I say new beause I am new to this whole "expressing your emotions through a keyboard and monitor" concept. I am a very "animated" communicator in *real* life.

So anyhow, bah. I think it expresses so much.

BAH! bah. BAH.

This is how I am feeling right now....which is striz-ange because I am now a FRIGGIN REGISTERED NURSE..the VERY THING I HAVE BEEN BUSTING MY ASS TO BECOME FOR THE LAST JILLION YEARS and I had an evening of yoga (new to me since my schedule has change...'cause I'm a NURSE)....a very nice evening of yoga by candle light. And, my best friend gave birth to a BEAUTIFUL, HEALTHY baby boy...who loves me (he told me I'm his favorite auntie while holding my finger with his 23hr old mini-hand) and all in all life is great.

You know, I think we need a vacation. Trevor has had a stressful few months of work and we all know how things have been for me. The bummer part is that I started my new job as an RN on Tuesday (clarification-NOT the bummer part) and I have 12 weeeks of full time training...so we can't go to our parents home on Sanibel Island like we normally do each spring...I think we'll need to make do with a weekend getaway for the time being so that we don't beat each other to death during a fit of cabin fever.

Any ideas for the Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana region?
Our mental health is at stake here.

The Little Ones...and The Little Things that make us happy.

We just got home after being in the city for the night, babysitting our niece (3 1/2) & nephew (6 months) for the evening. Trevor ate some Thai food that uspet his stomach so he fell asleep early..same time as the kids actually..so I just stayed up and watched the video monitor OBSESSIVLEY, watching them breath. Along with the monitor watching I would go into our nephews room every 45 minutes and check to see if he was still breathing. Jeez. Is that what parenthood is like? 'Cause I was like. "SHIT! Did he just turn his head...wait! Can he breath in that postition?! Crap!" every 3 seconds. *Sigh* At least I can feel confident that I have the skills to do CPR with half my brain missing because it's been embedded in my DNA thru becoming and EMT and RN. But STILL...it was un-nerving. With that being said...I totally love watching them and would do it everyday if I could.

On our way home...I realized...WE'RE in the CITY...close to ARGO TEA, my favorite place on earth that I dream of while being forced to drink Starbucks out here in the 'burbs. So we went. I got an Earl Grey Vanilla Creme Latte. And this glorious item:

 

 

A tea infuser! Isn't it so pretty?!
I have a bunch of loose tea but no infuser, so I'm forced to make it in my french press. I know, I'm so TORTURED in this life. But...don't like the residual tea taste that is left behind in the screen of the press. Now I have my Tovolo Infuser. Joy.

On a weight loss note, I have not weighed myself today because I wasn't home this morning and I weigh myself on Sunday mornings on my scale, with no food (or Earl Grey Lattes) in my stomach (just my own 'ritual') So, I'll weigh myself tomorrow morning and let you know. However, I feel like I've stayed the same this week. I guess we'll see.

Hope you all are enjoying this weekend. We're experiancing a major thaw. It's wet and nasty out...so I'll be hibernating.
