Weekend flyby........

WOW....last weekend was not from heaven okay.....fun but wow!

Friday I was asked to cover the late shift - so figuring I could use the OT I decided to go ahead and start work at 8:30 a.m. (as per usual protocol), thinking I would stop typing at 6:00 p.m. and get back on later Friday night to cover anything pressing. Well, didn't quite work out that way. You see I was the only person on the system after 3:00 p.m. and both of my favorite doctors decided to go at there rush job for the day about that time! I ended up typing about 80 radiology reports on Friday....oh, and just a clue that is a lot...that is along with the regular stuff I type....office notes, operative reports, History & Physicals (I had two amongst the x-rays over 20 minutes each - can you say woman dictator?), procedure reports....yada yada! My total lines for the day which finally ended at 8:00 p.m. Friday night - oh and that is 11.5 hours in case you are mathematically challenged - no lunch either! I typed about 255 lines an hour that day....yes, I continue to AmaZe myself - just in case you are wondering!

Needless to say by 8:00 p.m. I was pretty useless....I crashed....

Saturday was another soccer game for the kid - which....we WON! YIPEEEEE! One more gain YIPPEEEEE (I am celebrating that part definitely)! Even though they aren't supposed to keep score our team is undefeated thus far! We had a full day planned after the game - shopping, pizza, shopping - all to finish our costumes for the sorority costume party! Finally get home after 2:00 p.m. and throw together two costumes - which is basically what they looked like (threw together but "I tried")! Then dropped the kid off at G&G's and went to get SI for the mixture we had concocted for the party - it was Yummy - Pineapple Juice with Star Fruit Juice, 7-up and Rum! We had a fun evening of BUNCO at the sorority party with all the laughter and naughtiness that flows from my mouth....it just happens okay!

Sunday I slept in and had to rush to pick up the kid as he wanted to come home - ya, why I am not sure...but that is how it goes! We headed to Hayes to pick out pumpkins for the carving party we were going to at 3:00 and met some friends for lunch, had enough time after lunch to take a short nap and head out to carve pumpkins. I had high hopes of carving 4 pumpkins - I got 2 done - 1 was supposed to be Ang's but...well, you know how that goes - attention span 10 minutes max and he was off with another boy running around outside! I finished my bat pumpkin and then headed to his pumpkin to finish the Alien we had designed on his! WOW - I was spent after that - 2 pumpkins to gut (large pumpkins tooo - can you hear me whining already?).....then my friend & I meticulously went through the pumpkin guts picking out seeds to roast. I came home prepared the seeds and was up to 11:00 waiting for the finished product! They turned out okay - the roasted seeds and the carved punkins - just in case you were wondering WHAT?? I was talking about!

Things I managed to do last week - well, dumb thing #101 - I went to the casino and left my purse at a machine - wide open, cash showing and walked off from it....YA, pretty smart I know, I know.....so by the time I realized it I said "OH SH*T" out loud and rushed to the machine, guess what? it wasn't there....so, I found a security person who gave me the run around about giving her my phone number, on and on...no she didn't have it....about that time I hear my name pages overhead to come to the Information Desk - I take off to the ID.....where I find a young security person hold my driver's license and then he proceeds to identify me and give me my purse which is still intact, with money, debit card, etcetera....I worshipped, praised him, thanked him...wanted to kiss him but I held back! Hoping no one heard my name paged I head quickly back in to the main casino.....ya, no luck in that department - my party had heard and Knew what I had done.....makes me feel really good! What a dork I am! I did feel lucky though that the security guy found it and everything was there....that still is amazing to me! So I found a machine and won $40.00 - I knew it was my lucky night after that escapade! that is a significant win for me - the girl who goes out there SELDOM and only puts 5 or 10.00 worth of money in - playing it like pinball and just seeing how long I can play on the 5-10 bucks I flush down the machine!
