JUST A LITTLE UPDATE

Remember me? My name is Toy Helen!! First let me make this clear...I still want a Yorkie Girl Puppy! CB bought me a car 2 weeks ago, and I said thank you I love it, but...............

I went to my annual MGMA conference at Tan Tara the first of this week. I leave Sunday to help Sammye (my mother in law). She is having a total knee replacement, so I will be staying with her at the hospital. So, I have (well, HAD) 3 days to do 2 weeks of work. Not working out too well for me! And as I type this, those big storms are about to hit the area, and I sure don't want to get my cute car out in it. It is a 2008 white Impala LTZ!

The Emergency Department is busier than ever! And yes, everyone thinks they have the swine flu.

I want to plant flowers this weekend, but I am not sure I can squeeze that in. With the Arnolds and Comstocks tonight and tomorrow night we have a birthday party to go to, and I fly out Sunday at 3:30.

So, there you have it. I love my life, I love my husband, I love my job and I love my Saviour!!

I WANT A TOY YORKIE GIRL PUPPY......

....and when I told CB what I wanted, the above is what I got!! All in my chair! He is funny, isn't he? I have even named her....PRISSY! Not the pink puppy...my NEW puppy I'm gonna get someday! But she has to be little....and PRISSY!

NOT NEAR AS EXCITING.....

My little blog here isn't near as exciting as the Guatemala folks. I can't wait to hear all about what they did and what they saw. But, I HAD to blog, since it has been so long.

As you can see, we grand-dog sat all week while the kids were in Florida. Colby (the weenie dog) just lays on my lap! Little Pancakes crawls under everything, she actually found a couple of things I have been missing, and generally tries to find trouble to get into. But she is so cute. Anyway they went home last night. My feet were not as warm, since Colby wasn't there!

Another great thing about having the dogs is we stayed home every night last week. THAT was nice (and rare). This week is very busy....
Tuesday - Going to St. John's Award Banquet - I am on a committee that won an award, so I have to be there.
Wednesday - church
Thursday - Dinner with friends from work, always good to visit with them
One night this weekend, we will be with the Arnolds and Comstocks.....gotta play games ya know.

I am ready to open my windows and let the warm air in, aren't you?

BEAUTIFUL SPRING!

in the yard behind us...so pretty...a Bradford Pear

LOOK WHO IS 50.........

We had a fabulous time at FLAME for Kathy's birthday dinner, as you can see. Then we went back to the Arnolds for a surprise gathering of a few friends. Always fun when we are together.

70'S/SNOW/ALMOST 80!!!!!

These pictures are right outside my back door!!!! Last Thursday, it was 70 and gorgeous! We woke up Saturday to THIS!!! But......as luck would have it, we should be approaching 80 (well in the 70s anyway) this Thursday. Most of the snow is gone, except on the north side of buildings and under trees. But I hear birds every morning. And DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME will be here this weekend. I hate to lose the hour, it seems like weeks before I feel recovered, but I LOVE more sun in the day!! Again I say....COME ON SPRING!! We impatiently wait.....

BLOGGING VS FACEBOOK

I have SO neglected blogging. One reason is, my camera is put away since the holidays are long over, so I forget to get it out. And, I am on Facebook all the time when I am at home. But, that is just 'snipits' of what is going on in people's lives. Some people are really hurting.....

Another weekend with friends. (5th or 6th in a row I think) The Arnolds will be gone next weekend to see that beautifull granddaughter!

Have any of you been to Houlahans? We all went February 13th and it was fabulous! We are going again tomorrow night. Then cards and SEQUENCE!

We REALLY need to clean house Saturday.....wonder if we will get to it!! The Wii calls us every chance we get.

Today is Kristin's birthday! Happy Birthday sweetie!!!!! Make Clint treat you like a Queen. Never mind, he should be doing that anyway!

CB is kinda sick. Sore throat, cough. He isn't in bed or anything, but I hear him coughing now.

The Emergency Dept is still so busy. 4 to 9 hour waits almost continuous, and we have a hard time ever clearing out the waiting room these days! Enough said.....

Well, there you have it. LOST and 24 are the best TV shows of 2009!
