Silly musings

This struck me as funny on my way to work the other day - a car with a French sounding name on it with a "Boycott France" bumper sticker. Now I've learned that Chevrolet is a Swiss name. So maybe it's not as funny as it was on my drive to work.....

On St. Patrick's Day, it was the birthday of a good friend of mine. She and I were going to go to the casino that night since that's what she wanted to do. My mom came along with us. My mom is pretty cool most of the time, so that's ok.

I won $300. Woo Hoo!!! I have it stashed away from hubby so he won't take any of it for his Xbox 360 fund. We need another gaming system in this house like we need a hole in the roof.

I saw my sweet little 2-year old niece this weekend. She's a riot. She's got a quiet, sweet little voice. (Unlike her older sister and brother.) She does something that puts me in stitches though - instead of saying "daddy" to her dad, she calls him by his first name.

I think I'll teach her to say "Hey Homer!"

I spent a couple days home sick this week. The fun at the casino came with a price - I caught a bit of a cold. And I was having such a good winter in terms of illness! It's better now. Mostly at that "nusiance" stage. I despise being sick. It really puts a cramp into my week.

Speaking of putting a cramp into my week, I was offered some extra hours at work. I took them up on it. I'll work a day in Family Practice each week. I wonder how many of those days I'll come home saying "I like Peds" over and over.... I took it for the extra moola, but it also bumps my FTE up into a range where I'm eligible for all sorts of benefits. That right there will be soooo worth it! Not that I have have a job with all sorts of awesome bennies, but hey, every little bit counts!

I know there were all sorts of other things I was going to write about, but my memory is shot right now. I should jot more notes. But I need more post-it notes around this house like I need another gaming system.... ;)
