Modern Toilet

MMM I'm hungry (like that's nothing new), next time we're in Taiwan (or if/when we go there) we'll have to give it a try. I heard the curry is the best but about 1/3 of the people who order it can't actually bring themselves to eat it. And don't forget your beverage (via urinal) and dessert - chocolate ice cream (poop) in the bowl (toilet bowl that is). [seriously, google modern toilet restaurant Taiwan]

Wasting Time

So, I thought clearance was my only hurdle, I thought I was starting next Sunday-ish... but turns out my paperwork for practice and remote site isn't complete, won't be approved at least for 14 more days from the state and wouldn't you know it appears my doc has too many PAs already. So frustrating that this 2 1/2 month process is still ongoing (had I known it would take this long, would have visited home for a week). Sheesh. At least in this down time, we've been running, I've been working on my new quilt and spending lots of time at home together (especially with his 2 unexpected days off last week). So hopefully I won't be wasting too much more time, can start working and earn a pay check by the end of the month and actually be contributing to our household once again.
3 yr wedding anniversary in just over a week ...thanksgiving...Christmas all right around the corner.

Big Bird said what?!

We were up late last night watching our Tivo'd shows for the second night in a row (at least it wasn't another episode of Tyra - she may the worst tv host ever but heer black market surgery show was a little bit interesting) anyway, during our intermission between shows, Jimmy Kimmel's late night show was on with Big Bird -and somewhere in the mix of things Big Bird said something about being drunk from a hot tottie. WHAT?! Big bird can't say that, can he? What is the world coming to? First cookie monster must relinquish the sweets only to snarf down carrots and broccoli and now Big Bird is going to AA? Sheesh!

I found out I gained clearance today... woot!

Spooktacular!

Spent most of the day making some of the best Halloween cookies I've ever made, sent them with Shawn to share with the other ghouls who have to work tonight. Witches, bats ghosts and pumkins. Yum!

My "little" ballerina and Hawaiian puppy! Happy Howl-o-ween!

seriously?

Who steals an ambulance while it's on a call?
That has to be bad Karma for sure!

A short wait (fingers crossed)

Clearance pending, offer in hand, waiting to hear when I leave for Yavapai AZ. yippee!
So now the wait begins... again... but I hope for real this time.

Shawn made me bacon and eggs today after a long night of work - I'm so happy he's off tomorrow night before his 3 day weekend - what will I make for Halloween treats?

The new black box

We saw Saw VI and it was glorious.... if you haven't followed the anthology due to your aversion to horror movies well then I think you've missed a Rube Goldberg movie-complex. Every movie is intertwined with another movie - some are so intertwined two movies are actually occurring simultaneously. If you can get pass the horrific, gruesome, diabolical and down right bloody traps of Jigsaw, then you would find some well written, well pieced October movie classics. There will be at least a VII and VIII which would be plenty - although then what would we look forward to the weekend before Halloween? But before this wonderfulness of 6 could begin, we had to recap the last 5 yrs worth of films... not a tough task by any means, at 93 min on avg per movie but then it set in... our 8 yr old DVD box would not work with our 9 month old TV, not even with an HDMI cable (High Def something) - in fact our sad little DVD player didn't even have an outlet for it (no wonder Shawn hadn't connected the DVD player since we bought the new TV - I thought he was just sparing himself from watching my chick flicks over and over again). So 30min before Best Buy closed we found ourselves looking for a Blueray player (I of course being the level headed of the two quickly shot down the possibility of a playstation - that would have been a whole new ball of wax I wasn't willing to set in motion). I don't know why they call is a blueray, probably because pink ray or green ray or rainbowbox player don't sound as sleek and sexy to the men folk who are most likely to purchase them... I will admit the picture looked great - even on the non blueray dvds we have. Our new sleek blueray player came with $50 worth of blueray dvds - which equates to about 2 at $24.99 a pop. Now if only the annoying high pitched noise would disappear we'd be set. I only hope I can figure out how to operate it - it was a long day... an hour long personal interview today - all about me and it was daunting, intrusive and I left feeling like all my skeletons had been ripped from my closet - labeled then hung out in the front lawn for everyone to see and take notes about which will then be turned into a book. I hope this job is worth it... and start time is still at least 2 or so weeks away and I learned today that the gov't had budget cuts for 2010 and went on a hiring freeze as of today. bummer
(Could there be any more numbers in this post - sheesh)
