New Years Day!

The new year has started out with family and friends!  I was happy this year that I didn't have to work New Year Eve or New Years day.  One of the cons of being a nurse is having to worry about being off the holidays.



Last night I went to my sisters and we hung out together.  Our plan was to dance to Just Dance, Michael Jackson Experience and do some Zumba.  My niece and cousin was chatting online with people from other countries.  Then my sister ended up falling asleep on the couch!  I have picked up learning how to knit again and brought a project I had recently started.  It was 1am before I knew it!  I was ready to leave about 0130 and my niece told me I couldn't leave!  They did get Just Dance Summer Party out and they did some dancing.  Then I decided to leave after 0200 as I wanted to have some sleep!  I didn't last long when I got home.



I slept today until 1430!  I woke up to 4 texts on my phone which the last one getting me up.  My sister texted me asking if I wanted to come to dinner.  I went to dinner at my sisters.  She had also invited our parents.  It was a fun family evening!  I also made plans with my nieces later in the week for some afternoon vintage fun!

I am bummed that I have to work tomorrow but then I get a couple of days off.  I do enjoy working 12 hours shifts and having more days off in the week.  It helps keep me sane!

Till next time . . . .

Grandma's and Birthday celebrations!

I was on vacation for 11 days from work the beginning of November. The first day of my vacation, my Grandma was admitted to the hospital. She was diagnosed with lung cancer in July and it is advanced. The oncologist believe that this started from her breast cancer she had years ago. She had been doing pretty good up to then but having problems with being short of breath. She finally got to go home 10 days after she was admitted but with oxygen. She is now adjusting to having oxygen at all times.

Over the weekend we had a birthday celebration for my Aunt, my Grandma's sister that has been staying with her. It was a nice family get together.

My Aunt and her birthday cake:


My fave is a picture of my Aunt and Grandma:


I have a page kit I bought from the LSS a week ago about sisters. I was planning on making it for my sister and I but know I think I am going to combine it with a generation of sisters. My Grandma & Aunt, my nieces and my sister and I. I need to get this kit out and start planning my other pictures. :-)

I have been trying to get my scraproom organized so I will feel like being more creative. Also being able to find things would be great! I hope to be able to slowly work on this. Tonight the allergies are starting to bother me and it will have to wait till tomorrow.

Ice Hockey!

I had a fun day!! I ended up sleeping with Phoebe last night which she sleeps as close to me as she can get! I was so tired that I didn't even notice it till 0730 this morning! I had went to bed about 2200. I was tired! I thought that was good so I could get up and get ready for the day! The coldness in my house was making it difficult. It was 60 degrees in my house and I finally turned on the heat. After I got out of my shower, I was cold so I went to my warm waterbed only to fall asleep again! That was a mistake. I was hoping to be at my Grandma's between 1230-1300 and didn't make it till 1415!!

We all gathered at my Grandma's before the hockey game. Then we all headed off to see my cousin play ice hockey! I have never gotten to see her play before as she used to live in Seattle and play ice hockey there. She lives closer now and she was playing on a team that just happened to be playing here! It was exciting seeing her play. She is pretty good!! Her team won 2-0!

Then after the game I went home for a bit but then we meet up and had dinner together. We ended up eating at the Outback. It was good!

I love weekends like this!
