i just cleaned down stairs.. washed the dog and now.. i'm in bed.. nite!

Vegging out

Yesterday was my day off and i basically did nothing all day =)

Harold and i woke up together... i made him breakfast and then we went upstairs for a nice little treat before he left to work ;-) I then went outside and pulled weeds and mowed the lawn.. it was a huge work out!!!! i mean i was dripping in sweat!!!! i'm sure it didn't help that it was the middle of the day but who cares right? After i showered and went to work for a stupid meeting of the big bosses.. its all so gay and fake.. corporate america =p BLAH! I came back home after and did a whole lot of NOTHING!!! FANTASTIC!!!!!!!! I watched my So you think you can dance and then read blogs for a while... i'm such a bore! or maybe its more of a time waster???? either way it felt good to veg out!

Today work was busy as always... it was hard to make it through the day but - like always - i survived! Nothing exciting happened - thank god!

When i got home we had a little confrence call with all the girls about the costa rica trip.. all good fun and it made me very excited about our upcoming vacation!! After roldi and i layed on the couch.. watched My Boys and had a little treat ;-) NICE!

Now i'm in bed and i'm excited about having two days off =)

Steve's Puppy

So yesterday we went see Steve & Vicky's new puppy... it was a puppy beagle and her name was Belle. She was about 4 weeks old or something and SUPER tiny!!! Toooo cute! The sad part is that last nite the puppy was having problems breathing and they took her to the vet.. poor thing was so sick they had to put her to sleep... how horrrible is that! I feel so bad for them! they had the puppy for all of a day! It really broke my heart - made me think of how i would die if my roxie baby ever got sick.. i would die! and then i thought of dumbo and dopey and kiki.... they have all been such good dogs. its so sad to loose a pet... even if its just one day you spend together =/

Long weekend

This weekend has felt soooo long! My last official day of work was Tuesday... i went in extra on wed and had a class on thursday... but not being on the floor all these days has been GREAT! Of course i've been a slacker and havent really gotten anything done =/ Some day i will change and be a better person.... someday.....

Thursday we had our ACLS renewal - its been 2 years now since harold and i have been in class together learning and all that good stuff... it was actally really fun to hang out with him all day and learn and all that good stuff.. i hadn't felt that in forever!!

Thursday nite we went out with the girls from work to celebrate the ICU position.. it was no big deal.. first we were gonna go to UVA and then ended up going to Mystic... very reffy... very very reffy... not interested in going back there ever again! The one plus is that it reminded me how fun salsa classes were with harold back in the day... maybe someday we'll go back!

Friday was a huge waste of time.. we slept in until 12 something then ate shit all day. we went to dinner with his parents to flannigans and saw the wedding pictures at their house.. we can home... watched a movie and went to bed. Are we getting old??? ;)

Saturday we went to tint the windows in both the cars. We walked around the falls and had lunch with my parents. I had a major scare at the pharmacy... apperently i took out my nuva ring a week early and had a possibility of being pregnant because of my little fuck up! I almost had a heart attack!!! I ended up taking a test with harold next to me - it was negative but scared the crap out of me!!! At nite Steph had a little dinner for her bridesmaids so we can all meet... we sat around and chatted it was real nice.. nicer than i excpected!!! At the end of the night i ended up loosing one of my dimond earings... tell me i didnt DIE! we looked EVERYWHERE... it was no where to be found =( My heart is crushed and i feel horrible about it. I never want nice shit again! its not worth the feeling of always being worried about what your wearing and all that crap... just not worth it!

today we've both been bums... i feel really crappy about the whole earing thing and just feel very blah inside... roldi's the same way so we've just been moping around the whole day. harold actually confesed that he was a little excited about the fact that i might have been pregnant!!!! How crazy is that?!?!?! all this time i've thought that there is no way that he would ever want that for us right now and now he's a little excited??? that just crazy! we had dinner at Outback.. my diet MUST start tomorrow... enough is enough.. im 201... NOT GOOD...

so tomorrow will be a good day... see u then

ICU NURSE!

How excited am I?!?!?!? Lets just say that today at work in the middle of all the craziness the manager of ICU (Ana) comes to me to offer me a JOB!!! Oh my god... it was so exciting! She said that I interviewed well and that I got the job over some other girl (she has more experience than me!). How AWESOME!!! Its something i've really wanted for a while and i'm just so happy to have it. The eh part is that its part time but i'll figure something out! Second good news is that they finally told harold that he will be in the ER class starting in aug!!!! FINALLY!!!!! It seems that things are coming together - how great is that... I feel like someone is really watching over us and keeping us on the right path. THANK YOU!!!!!

Family Weekend

This weekend harold and I practiced being a mommy a daddy....

Thursday June 26 was Roxie's FIRST birthday =) I planned a BBQ at the house on saturday for everyone to come and bring thier little fur babies... lets just say it was the cutest thing ever! Everyone came and all the little dogs got along.. roxie was the biggest one and that was funny... i made her a cake and made all the dogs wear little leis... TOOO CUTE! lol People even brought roxie gifts!!!! she had a very good time and slept for 2 days straight to get over how tired she got from all the running around! lol!!!!

The real practice came on friday morning... roxie woke up early like always and harold took her outside. she has a bad habit of coming back up stairs and scratching for a while.... i didn't pay to much attention to her since she always does this. Well.. after a while she came close to me in bed and touched her neck... lets just say that she was all full of bumps everywhere and her face was red and swollen. I FREAKED OUT! i ran downstairs and got her a benydryl. roldi woke up and we just stared at her helplessly. she was restless for another little bit and then dozed off to sleep... so did we. During the day her bumps would come and go. she was acting normal but the bumps and redness and the rash under her belly just didnt look to good. Night came and we went to bed.. harold says that she was restless like if she was hot.... well when we turned on the lights she was all red and puffy again. we would scratch her and try to make her comfortable but nothing would work.. gave her benydryl again and nothing... we even called the vet to figure out what time they opened in the morning. it took her about an hour but she finally laid down and fell asleep. I was so scared and all i wanted was for her to be better.

In the morning we took her to the vet and apperently something bit her outside maybe or she was having some major allergic reaction to something. The doctor gave her a shot of cortisone and epi.... my poor baby!!! You wouldn't believe it but her skin was almost perfect by the time we were home!!!! it was crazy! I've never seen anything like that! So that was our little adventure.... not too fun but damn it makes me realize how much we love this dog!!!

I got my wedding pictures last night =D They are amazing!!!!! there are about 1300 and they are magical!!! Roldi stayed up with me last night to see every single one of them! I am so in love with this man. I am so lucky - blessed... i don't even know what to call it. The coolest part is that I'm pretty sure he feels the same way about ME! =)

May we live happily ever after....

i'm back

So a few weeks have passed but i'm back..

Tomorrow is Roxies first birthday - how cute =) We're actually throwing her a little BBQ bday party... should be cute i hope!

I feel like i've been working like crazy lately... no mula to show for it though it seems... i've vey not satisfied at work... i actually applied for an ICU position last week. I'm supposed to hear something this week - lets see what happens!! If i get it i'll start the program at the end of august. my plan B is to start my masters in august.... that's scary to me too because i dont even know what i'm going to do with that! its all very funky and i feel lost about it all. here's hoping it will all get better soon...

other than that we're off to costa rica in a month... my poor mom is going to need knee surgery when we get back from the trip.. and thats about it =/

i dont have many words.... as u can see i'm feeling blah...
i'll be back!

Relaxing

Its wednesday and i'm chilling in my big red chair, roldi's home, roxie is sleeping, and we're both off tomorrow!!! NICE! I totally love roldi's new schedule. I sleep great at night and i like to talk to him during the day and eat lunch together and all that gay shit!

Yesterday while waiting for harold to come home i painted my toes and nails... no big deal! one of the times he called me he said "i'm gonna have a stiff one when i get home" - can i just say that harold NEVER talks dirty or hints about funness to come at night.. i said "WHAT?!?!" he's like... "no no.. like a drink!" - it was actually really funny!!!! we had a rum and coke when he got home.. he showered and then we had a stiff one!!!!!

Just now while he was in the shower he got a text... i wanted with all my heart to see who was texting him but i managed to control myself! when he got the text he looks at me and said "it was from you =)" It said "love love love love" he said to me... if you would have seen this you would have been sooooo pissed for that one second before u realized it was you... so freaking true! i wish i could just believe that no girl wants him and he doesn't want any other girl but me.. i hate that my mind questions everything... i hate that shit! ay!

I took roxie to the vet today and she wasn't happy about it.... the vet actually says she has some type of allergy and that is where the itching is coming from.. SHIT! i just want her to be healthy.. is that too much to ask for?!

tomorrow i'm going to Ikea with my mom... should be fun =) i hope she's in the shopping mood and more in the mood to spend some mula on ME 0=)

Ta ta!

Waiting for Roldi

My boo started his new schedule today!! 11a-11p... i'm so excited!!!! i've been waiting for this for a year now! I know he thinks im being a dork but i can't explain how yummy this feels to me! We even got to have lunch together at work today.. made my crappy day a HAPPY Day! lol...

i had to work on Friday and Sat... I HATE working the weekends! I survived and it wasn't all that horrible - but i still hate it!!!

Saturday night we went to the beach dancing with Lietty and Claudia... it was so much fun!!! we went to a spanish club first then to a club that played a little of everything. We danced and drank and got home at about 4:30 in the morning!! mind you i had woken up early and worked all day!!! but it was worth it and we had a really good time!

Sunday we hung out at the house... we watched harry potter and then took roxie to a dog park.. it was soooo cute! all the dogs off leashes and playing and having fun! i loved it!! roxie was super cute - she stayed close to us the whole time - played with one little puppy and was too tired to do anything else!!! Gotta love her!

I can't remember if i wrote that sandy got a little prince... his name is Romeo - theif of hearts! he's a white little fur ball and he's so cute! I hope roxie and him will be good friends... he's only 6 lbs and roxie is 48!!!! lol

Playing house

So today was a no big deal day. Roxie was a pain in my tush this morning and insisted on waking up way too early! I ended up just waking up and cooking my boo some breakfast. I had actally set the bread cooker on a timer so that bread would be ready at 7 but for whatever reason it cooked through the night and i had a hard bread in the morning... i warmed it up and was able to save it but i was going for that fresh bread when you walk through the door feeling and that went to the dumps! I went back to bed with roldi in the morning and we slept for a while holding hands.. i thought that was sweetly gay! LOVED IT! lol...

When i woke up i picked up a little and ate some shit online... actually it was alot of shit online! i did do some research on the nurse practitioner stuff and got myself all worked up about what the hell we should do... 3'oclock came pretty darn fast and my baby was awake.. i layed in bed with him for a little and then we got ready and went to the gym. my dad stopped by the house to pick up something for my grandma. it was nice to spend 5 minutes with him... we shared some strawberries and talked about roxie...

For dinner i made some shrimp in a white sauce with cilantro.. .it was supposed to be "cuban" but didnt taste very cuban. the food came out pretty yummy but there was something missing... we didn't mark it a keeper but maybe try again another time when your bored?? I cleaned up the kitchen and harold showered.... then it was time for him to go off to work.. I watched 27 dresses... i liked it alot.. i still cant believe i'm married!!!! one of the cute things of the movie was that the girls favorite part of the wedding was how the guy looks right when the bride walks in... I can remember how awesome harold looked... god i love him!!!!!

and now i'm in bed... i actually put up some lamps in our room and they look really good! it actually looks great in here with some lite!!!! woo hooo!! i hope roldi likes it!

I'm out!

Mom's Day

Yesterday was mother's day and i spent the morning with mami and had breakfast with the Uria's. Harold stayed home sleeping and that was a little funky... he went to his parents when he woke up and then we met back up at the house. Looking back we both see that as a married couple that's not the way its gonna work any more... We're learning as we go...

breakfast was nice and it was nice to see everyone. abuela was too tired in the morning and didn't come to the breakfast. I'm happy that i at least got to spend a little time with her.. she is so special to me.

when i got back to the house steve was here and we went to go see Iron Man.. it was actually a pretty damn good movie... i'm such a geek! We met them for dinner at Cheesecake Factory. We got to see their new appartment all dressed up and it looks super cute. they did a great job.

back at the house we pretty much went to bed right away... the house was hot because the AC decided to go on crack =/ the house was sooooo hot!!! roxie couldnt even sleep!!! i was sweating all night and had to shower in the morning!!! yuck!! Luckily roldi got everything fixed before i got home and now i'm laying in bed and its actually a little chilly!!! thank god!!

I'll write more about this weeekend once i upload my pics =)

So Tired...

So I didn't post last nite because I was in such aa crappy mood I didn't want to sound so whiny while writing! lol.. I had a yucky day at work again and i was just down about anything that had to do with nursing. To top things off yesterday was Nurses Day... two years since harold and i graduated... two years! They actaully put a post on the miranda site and when i read it i started to cry... i just dont feel like the kind of nurse you never forget. I barely know my pts and i have no time to talk to any of them. This whole 6 pt thing at work sucks. There is so much paperwork and so much crap to do its impossible to keep up with it all and keep you brain straight! I was actaully in the middle of attempting to spend a little time with one of my pts and he's telling me how his wife died of a heart attack and how it was their anniversary.. he was crying and all.... then bang.. my damn phone rings for god knows what... i had to leave the room. i felt so bad. and its just one thing after another! other people dont do their jobs so you have to do double the work beacuse you actaully give a shit! ay i dont know... i think it might be time to move on to something else. i used to LOVE going to work. i had no problem going to work or doing anything and now im just so damn grumpy! i'm trying to keep my spirits up but i have to figure something out because these headachese i keep coming home with just suck! yesterday i actaully managed to go to the gym right after work so i felt good once i actually got home. I actaully got to go eat dinner with harold because since it was a year that the hospital was open they had free paeya and arroz con pollo... it was nice to spend some time with him.. i hate coming home and being all alone.. expecially on days like yesterday when you just need a hug. One day.. i hope!

Today.. today i did chart checks and took rox to the vet.. she's so scared to be there.. it breaks my heart! When i got home i cooked roldi dinner.. i made the chicken in red sauce.. as it was cooking we were watching tv and the pot was making that pressure cooker sound... he was laying on me and told me that the sound was soothing to him... it was actally soothing to me too! it reminds me of being at abuela and abuelo's house... i miss them so much =/

dinner was tasty and he took some to work... i got to take a bubble bath which was nice.... now i just need to get to sleep!

bye!

Cinco Domingo

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

I had a great weekend hanging out with my baby... He actally bought a car on Friday! Nuts I know!! His dad is paying for it and although I think its embarrasing to drive around a car we can't afford I'm slowly understanding that he's their only son and this is what makes him happy and all that good stuff... in the mean time we get to drive around a beautiful Mercedes - silver with black interior... i would have gone for tan but that black shit makes roldi happy! lol.. at least the outside is beautiful... i like the car way better than the last one.

Friday night we went to the Muteneer... it was a dark restaurant but damn was it tasty! We had she crab soup in a bread bowl that was outta hand! The bread and the rest of the food were really good too!! We came straight home afterwards cuz we were both tired... this is an on going trend for us! we need to stop it... anyways... the lovin was as yummy as our dinner ;-) He was even talking about it in the morning!!

Saturday we hung around and did pretty much nothing and it was great.. we NEVER get to sit around and do nothing at the house!!! his parents came over because they just have to... and then we got ready and went to the keys. My dad did this big bike thing from UM to Penny Camp... it was 75 miles!!! he's nuts but he does shit... that's so freaking awesome! We met with Sean and Cathy and went to dinner with my parents... we went to the new place THE BIG CHILL.. the place was beautiful and the food pretty tasty too... prices were not crazy or anything which was nice. We talked about the wedding and sean and cathy said ours has been the best so far!! that was sweet and i hope they werent just saying that!! lol... it was a nice dinner then we went to cathy's parents house to chat with her parents... the dogs played and it was just nice =)

Sunday we went on the jet ski's to Alabama Jacks... it was chopy out but we managed to have a good time... i'm freaking sore!!! we hung out in the jacuzzi for a while and talked about a possible vacation with friends!! should be fun!

We met harold's parents for dinner since Margarita's birthday is today and we were both working. We went to Maccaroni Grill.. the food was yummy and of course i ate too much! Gotta get back on the diet... i actually did good today considering i had a horrible day and wanted to PIG OUT!!! instead i had an apple and went to the gym after work. i'm glad i did good and hopefully i'll be able to make a habbit of being GOOD!!!! I HAVE to loose weight!!!!!

I'm VERY tired and going to bed now..
GOOD NITE

The faker patient

Aloha!

Yesterday I worked all day and it was not the funnest day or anything... The day went slow and just dragged along. I worked with Shawna and talked about traveling to Hawaii for nursing for 13 weeks. She had done it before and totally hiped me up to do it. I even sent an email to a company just to get some info!!! I want to do it soooo bad! I checked the baptist policy and it looks like we can be gone for up to a year - this is something that is so possible for us!!! I really hope Harold will want to because i dont want this to be a regret when i get older! A married life reallization I made was that I can't just say "i'll go without you..." its about us now... that's pretty freaking crazy and scary! i mentionied it to harold today and acted like he had thought that through already and was perfectly ok with the idea... I think he knows he'll always get what he wants.... i'm so scared to butt heads with him about something... i know its bound to happen but i'm so not looking forward to it!

anyways the big thing that happened to me at work was that i had this patient from cuba that was having "10/10" pain to his "liver" - well the whole day i'm dealing with the guy and he's NPO and hungry and I talk to the doctor and he says "this guy might be faking it .. he doesn't look like he's in that kind of pain and someone in so much pain wouldn't really be hungry" I say to myself - true but if the guy says he's in pain then he is... so anyways the doctor orders a procedure and says the pt cant eat until we have results. So i explain this to the pt and he's upset but they come and pick him up pretty fast so he gets entertained with that for a while. SO... he comes back and is all upset because he's so hungry and if we don't feed him he's just going to leave AMA - I tell him to relax and put a call out to the MD to see what we can do... so 6pm rolls around and no one has called me and i'm closing up my charts and getting ready for home when i see this guy walking in his clothes with his walker (perfectly strong) - I ask him what he's doing because he's so weak - how is he even going to leave here - he says "i'm hungry give me the paper to sign" - mind you this guy just wants a cigarrette and a drink!!! So i tell the charge nurse and get the AMA paper.. and I tell him he needs to sign he starts to sway like he's gonna fall and i have to catch him and sit him on a chair... DRAMA QUEEN this little shit! so at that moment the GI md walks in and says "well if he's gonna leave over food just feed him" - i looked like an ass - the pt was happy and let me roll him to his room - it was such a retarded situation!!! The guy was faking everything and i totally fell for it. I hate that shit! whatever - that was what made my last hour fly by!

When I got home harold was waiting for me outside with roxie on the bench.. i love coming home to him!! we went to Humberto's house for some beer... i got to see Miko - that was nice! we just hung out.. no big deal - made fun of ER - then went home. Nothing too exciting!! Humberto sent me a text on the way home saying "Marrige suits you - you look very cute and happy tonight" I thouth that was sweet!

Today - today i went to compentancies at work... no big deal.. i thought i was going to fail my tele test but ended up getting 3 wrong!!!! I was so excited!!! Now i'm cleaning the house waiting for harold to come home from car shopping...

talk to ya after!

Could you be love...

So this morning i slept in a bit and then took Roxie to the vet for her dip... i felt so bad leaving her... she was so scared =/ poor baby! Then I went to work and did wounds and calls... i actually called someone who had passed away on Friday - that sucked! Then right when i was gonna leave one of the guys asks me to do a wound vac for him because he was "super busy" - BLAH... there went another half hour doing that crap!

Roldi went with me to pick up rox... she's so freaking cute!! He went to the gym when we got home and i cooked him dinner. Curry chicken with onions and salad with mixed veggies... sounds better than it tasted =/ I wish I could always cook good for him without using those damn receipts! One day...

While he was getting ready leave I asked him about me moving to nights and he's like "no - just say in days.. you have a normal life..." - the same thing he always tells me.. and I like always say "but i want to be with you" and he says "we are together - its not that bad - we see eachother all the time" he then says "do whatever you want because it doesnt matter what I say anyways" - What to do!!! I know its not that bad and its pretty nice having time to myself without him around the days he works... but at the same time i hate going to bed alone and all that crap and him being tired all the time. I want him to just move to days already - I want some what of a normal life and I'm afraid that this is what I might have right now and everything will be just as funky if we both worked the same shift.. thats scary! I guess I'll keep waiting for him to come to days... i hope thats the right choice!!

After he left I went to do groceries. I had a thing to make some low fat cupcakes and got all the ingredients so I could make it now.... It was fun baking from scratch but can i just say that these are the WORST tasting little shits in the whole world!!!! There is no way to describe how NASTY these things taste =/ Oh well!!

I've been listening to Hawaii radio and it makes me want to be over there SOOOOO BAD!!!! I loved my honeymoon!!!! I really want to do the whole travel nursing things!!! Lets see!!

off to shower!

One Month

Woo Hoo!!! Its officially one month that Harold and I have been married! How nuts is that?!?! I can't say that I feel too much different from a month ago... since being back from the honeymoon we've basically gotten back into our work routine and things are going pretty good. I thought there would be some kind of feeling or difference or something.. but theres not... i guess that's a good thing because we've been working great together for forever!! When I stop and think for a second that we ARE married I get soooo excited to be married to him... i just can't believe that I'm married to HAROLD!!! My harold... my 10th grade - long hair- mexican looking harold!!! I'm so lucky!!! I'm so in love with him and I don't ever want to forget how much i love him. He's the world to me... he's my best friend. I wonder if he knows how i feel?

The one little bump we had this month was on friday while picking up the house.. i told him i wanted to go out after the bon jovi concert, stay at sandy's, and then go to the beach with the cousins on sunday... he got upset and then stayed quiet for a long time.. i kept asking him what was wrong not knowing it was that and he kept saying that he was annoyed at the house being a mess... so i kept cleaning and he didn't get any better... finally i was like "talk to me!" He finally said he was upset cuz he was going to have to spend the whole weekend up north and blah blah... and that he was over it. I told him that he didnt have to go and he said "i'm part of the family now.. i can't just not go to things.." that was sweet but after talking some more we came to a compromise that we would leave the beach early to hang out at johns pool... anyways i told him ne needs to talk to me.. tell me what he's feeling when he's feeling it.. he said he would.. lets see!!

Today i woke up ealry and cooked him breakfast while he showered... he was happy to spend a few minutes with me in the morning... I LOVE HIM! Then I hung out online for a while and joined facebook... what a world that is!! Something new to learn I guess!! I acttually put the wrong last name when i first signed up - i totally forgot that i'm Nancy Larramendi now... that still VERY weird to me!!! After that I went with Roxie to pick up some food and then went to the keys to hang out with my mom.. we just watched the tv channel all day and she cooked me some lunch.. it was nice to hang out with her and do nothing.. she's feeling better though so thats good! The actually called me from work to go in cuz they were short.. it was nice that i was over there and didnt have to come up with an excuse not to go in!!!

I left at about 5 and picked up some key lime shrimp from the fish house for harold.. he was suprised and very happy that i had picked that up. He enjoyed his food and then ME! I LOVE HIM!!! Then he had to rush to go to work... i'm pretty sure he was late but who cares!! lol.. I had almost asked him to call out so we could be together.. I can't wait to have the same schedule!!!!!

Thats about it for me... i'll leave a picture that I saw today that i thought was so romantic... I don't know what he's whispering in my ear but I hope its that HE LOVES ME!!!!

Here we go...

So here is a blog that hopefully I will keep up to date...

I've been married for a month and I really don't want to forget how amazing everything has been and will be. So here I am trying this blog thing out - shouldn't be too hard right?? 0=)

Tomorrow is our "one month" married - he's working tonight so i'm planning on waking up before he gets here and cooking him some breakfast and all that good stuff... maybe even so am love???? i doubt it! lol.. i'm sure he's sleepy from a long night of busting his booty.

I'm here with Roxie... she's already falling asleep.. so am i! Had a fun weekend at the bon jovi consert!!! wooo hoooo!! there was a bomb threat and it took us forever to get in.. but we did and he ROCKED!!!! and then sunday we hung out at the beach with the cousins and then at john's pool with the friends and their dogs.. very cute weekend =) I'm actually gonna go see mom tomorrow cuz she's bored at home from the hysterectomy =/
