Oh How Crafty
so i realized my blog was getting a little wordy so i took a picture of my recent craft projects.on the right is my legging i am currently knitting, and on the left the ornaments that i am making (courtesy of Martha Stewart)
both clearly still in the first stages of developement but i'm hoping to have both done for christmas.
my roommate moved in, it's odd to always have someone around now. always there, in your stuff, there, it's just weird. i mean i like it, but i'm still adjusting.
the good part about it is that today when i said "mass is at noon and there's confession before" she responded with "perfect then we can get there at 11:30" having that extra support/encouragement is so awesome and i didn't even know how much i missed it. but a lot of our college friends came in so i should get back to my guests, just wanted to update you on my crafting status. oh and by the way kell, i have recieved more than one compliment on my little sewing maching. everyone thinks it, and consequently me, are adorable. so thank you.

My Monthly Newsletter
well guys, no more 3 am blogging for a few weeks. last night was my last night shift till sometime in the new year.
thank goodness
i HATE night shift with a passion.
i hate having to tiptoe in and out of rooms, i feel like i'm sneaking around. half the time these kids come in overnight and the doc orders medications and treatments for them after the family falls asleep and then what do you do? do you wake up this sleep deprived parent to let them know what you're about to do even though 9 times out of 10 they are so out of it when you do wake them up that they don't understand you. or do you just hold your breath and hope you don't wake anybody up?
i usually just hold my breath.
i was going to steal a blood pressure cuff from the hospital today so that i could take a picture of it for you all, but it was the only blood pressure cuff small enough for my patient who was transferred out of the NICU. seriously, around my thumb, it fit around my thumb.
sometimes the central supply people for the hospital accidently send us blood pressure cuffs that are really supposed to go to the NICU, when we get to many we'll give them out to kids for their stuffed animals so that they can take their stuffed animals BP. unfortunately today we only had the one so i couldn't steal it.
funny story, the other day i had purchased a bottle with a little spigit at the top for my dish washing soap, it looks prettier than bottle of dawn (actually i got that idea from kelly) anyways, it was a cheap bottle with a cheap plastic top that eventually popped out unbeknownst to me and fell down my garbage disposal. long story short i bought a new (nicer) bottle and poured the soap from old bottle A into new bottle B. not really wanting to wash out the bottle i just tossed it in the dishwasher, thinking i had cleverly averted an obnoxious chore.
uhm, not so. i walked into my kitchen about 15 minutes later only to find the floor COVERED IN SOAP SUDS!!!!!!! and more pouring out from the bottom of the dishwasher. my heart absolutely stopped beating and i was pretty sure that i had broken not only the dishwasher, ruined the floor, but i would most likely be evicted from my apartment for causing so much damage in so short a time.
it was horrible, and rather like a cartoon, all at the same time. i tried jumping to the little mat in front of the sink (the only dry spot left in the kitchen) only to find that it wasn't dry and i went flying across the floor. thankfully my refridgerator is very sturdy.
i battled my way back to the dishwasher and grabbed a giant mixing bowl to scoop the suds into the sink. it was a losing battle though. eventually i had to find every towel i ever owned to use to barricade the bubbles in the kitchen and then i just started scooping bubbles, once the sink was filled i got a bucket and started toating loads out to my bathtub while the sink was being rinsed free of bubbles. hindsight is 20/20 and i now most sincerly regret that i didn't take a picture of it but at the time i was freaking out more than a little and i had to leave for work in the next hour so i didn't really feel like i had that kind of time to be photo-logging the latest adventure in Kate's Adventures in Domesticity.
in other news, today is my last day as a single care-free girl living alone in the big city (ok, the big suburbs) today, Dec 5th, 2007 i get a roommate.
i was thinking about it and it's been almost 2 years since i last had a steady kind of roommate. i was living in Ecuador...wow, it's kind of a little bit scary to think about having someone else move into my apartment, scary but i'm excited. and actually this is a good friend of mine from college and we lived in a house together there so i'm not to nervous.
anywho, it's now 1 in the afternoon and i actually worked last night so i should probably go take a nap. i've had a hard time inwinding from this last shift, i think because of the new roommate and also it's snowing like crazy outside and i get a little nervous driving in the snow so i've been running around trying to get as many errands as possible done before the snow gets to bad.
but i went shopping, the post office and target so i think i'm set for the next few days.
thank goodness
