Sleep Tight...Dont't Let the Bed Bugs Bite!

Sleep Tight Don't Let the Bed Bugs Bite...that was a saying that I grew up hearing from my parents, neighbors, friends etc....everyone said it...just like they said hello and goodbye....no one realized that bed bugs we're REAL!!! Back in the 18th century they were a problem...and are a problem AGAIN!!!



I can't deal with a spider, roach, cricket much less a BED BUG!!! It just makes my skin crawl! I guess I'll be investing in nightly Benadryl!


I proposed the idea to my brother to have our Chocolate Lab trained at the K9 Academy in Florida to sniff out Bed Bugs! I think that could be a promising career for Gunny!!!http://www.bizjournals.com/dayton/stories/2010/09/20/story4.html?b=1284955200%5E3948381

History of Bed Bugs!!!

Observations at the Nail Salon....

How do you pick a color?

Some women look and look and look...
Some women find a color then glance at what the color is called...
Others hold the bottle up to their toes to see how it looks...

Do you attempt to have a conversation with the manicurist?

How long do you really have to wait to have dry/smudge proof nails?!?

Hmm...in the end though...you have beautiful nails!!!

36-24-36 = genius: Data from the National Center for Health Statistics suggests that children of moms with wide hips but a low waist-to-hip ratio (the classic hourglass figure) score highest on intelligence tests. The explanation? Fatty acids stored in hip fat aid brain development in fetuses—womanly curves create brain power, literally.

Thriller

Do you like Michael Jackson?

If so, you need to see WHO'S BAD! They are a Michael Jackson cover band that plays all over the world! Some of the member in the band are NC natives! It is hands down a great show! I don't know how the dance around like that....amazing to see! Check out the video's above! They recently visited the United Kingdom...but were back in Chapel Hill last night!

We started out the night with homemade pizza at my place....invited some friends over for dinner then went out to Cat's Cradle to see the show! Great night if you ask me! Check out Who's Bad and see if they are touring near you!

I Passed!!!

Yes! I did it!

I passed the CCRN!

The CCRN is a certification for critical care nurses. It is not a required certification, but is something that I've always wanted to get since starting in the Intensive Care at UNC!

Lullaby

This is a new favorite of mine....Dixie Chick's Lullaby
They didn't have you where I come from
Never knew the best was yet to come
Life began when I saw your face
And I hear your laugh like a serenade

How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up

I slip in bed when you're asleep
To hold you close and feel your breath on me
Tomorrow there'll be so much to do
So tonight I'll drift in a dream with you

How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up

As you wander through this troubled world
In search of all things beautiful
You can close your eyes when you're miles away
And hear my voice like a serenade

How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up

How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up

Labor Day weekend

I was one of the few "laboring"...


...just a day in the life of nursing!



I was a slave at UNC Hospital working Sunday and Monday! Sunday I worked in my normal unit Surgery/Trauma Intensive Care and I picked up a extra shift Monday in the Medicine Intensive Care (MICU). I tell everyone that the MICU is my overtime spot of choice. It's something about getting out of your regular unit, interacting with different nurses, doctors and patients. It's a nice change!

Afterward Mondays shift, my nurse friend Mike and I decompressed with dinner at Milltown in Carrboro!! Delicious!
