Frenchie Fever

So I found out I don't really have as much to say as I thought. I'm not one to blog about what I did today; I more like to blog about a significant experience or something I learned but at this point who cares, eh? It's not that I haven't learned or done fun things lately I just haven't thought to blog. So, I've let you down. All 3 of you. Especially the two of you that sit at a desk all day and occassionally have a free minute to surf the 'net. ;) For that, I am sorry.

Works been awesome as of late. My favorite little patient has become our very own little PCICU miracle and may be going HOME soon. It's crazy to think that about 3 months ago we were going to have to withdrawal care on him because he'd become too sick...and now, he's lying here smiling at me and doing things we never thought we'd see again...like go on wagon rides! There's something special in store for this lil dude. At such a young age he's already made so many people fall for him. I'm pumped and blessed to be a part of his life.

So, I'm forseriously considering getting a dog. I may be taking the puppy plunge. It really happened when Kara and I went to the dog park with Bella last week and there they were....two precious, fawn colored french bulldogs...just starring at me..and I starred at them. meant.to.be. I've wanted a frenchie for years now and recently I'd convinced myself it's a bad time and I don't have the money. Both of which are true...but then I met Daisy and Cooter(yea, cooter?) and I was back havin' puppy fever(much like Bieber fever except they are actually attainable). So, I've researched. I found a lady in western ky that breeds frenchies to sell--not to show, so they won't be 2g. I emailed her about a lil male fawn on the site but he had been sold already. It actually works well b/c I'd prefer a lil lady frenchie....Kara says they don't hump things and you can rub their belly without a lil thingy down there. True mayne, true! Anyway, the lady said they are breeding a couple females within the next couple months so Ima hollaaaa at her in the near future. It's very possible I will own a female fawn french named Fran.....jk about the Fran part, it went with all the Fs. Maybe something like Josey, Riley...something with an "ee" on the end b/c they(dog expert ppl) say they respond better to that. Either way tho I'm gonna be calling her my sweeett puuppyyy babyyy!! i'm stoked!

It's official. I will be attending my 2nd TaySweezy concert in Nashville, TN come Sept 16, 2011 with the most magnificant Emelyn Davies. It wasn't easy but we did obtain tickets. For some reason, despite being apart of the TaylorNation fan club I did not receive my presale pass code--rubbish! This meant I had to purchase my tix with the non-TayNation folk. It certainly felt like Me vs non-Taynation folk that morning. I spent 30min on ticketmaster.com and calling them and I couldn't get a ticket. After 30 minutes she was officially sold out....to all the non-TayNationers..psh. Anyway, that aint gonna slow my roll. StubHubs my new bestie...but she comes at a high price. After several days of debating with myself how much money I was willing to spend I contacted Emelyn and we decide that you couldn't put a price on a Tay Swift "Speak Now" concert in NastyNashville and we lucked out with some lower level seats.....Needless to say it should be pretty fun. I probably shouldn't have told yall all that. Slightly embarrassing. Whatevs. p.s. i'll miss you Angie!

Hm what else is new... I've started this new devotional. It's a Beth Moore bible study called A Woman's Heart: God's Dwelling Place. I'm diggin it. One night recently I stayed up til 3 (that's not unusual these days but consider that night I'd gotten in bed at 1) doing my devo and then just reading scripture. What's cool about God is that as a believer you know that you have the Spirit within you and Jesus is camping out in your heart, right? But there comes a point in your walk with Christ that you no longer just know it but you FEEL it. That night I began to feel it more and more. As I kept reading it made more sense. It's like I said, I knew it all before, but there was a point when God totally interjected and was like ok NOW you're really gonna get it. In the Old Testament God called the Isrealites to build a Tabernacle for Him so He could dwell with His people but now he dwells in my HEART. Side note: Switchfoot "Your Love Is a Song" is my repeat song right now.

Man, blogging at work can really pass the time on a slow night--not complaining, just saying!! Last night I had a ridiculous patient. One of those love/hate relationships. She was the sweetest lil thing but my goodness was she a hot mess. At one point I just sat by her bed and talked to her for 15 minutes b/c of the hilarious things she'd say. She was 4yrs old and absolutely convinced of two things: 1) I was a doctor and 2) my name was Lateesha...neither of which I denied. Her favorite things to say were "Doctor, am I well?" and I'd respond "Yes, you are well, now, but you were very sick which is why you and I are having this slumber party" &. "Miss Lateesha, are my arms broken?"(she had on arms "restraints" b/c she tried to pull her IVs out) & I guess she watched lots of TV cuz she was willing to fall out of bed to get her " 'mote" (remote) so she could watch The Little Einsteins. Thank the Lord it happened to be on at 3am. Another fav was if she woke up when I wasn't there I'd herar this soft yell "hellooo?? where is everybody?? Doctor Lateesha, where is everybody!!???" so I'd knock on her glass door/window and wave and she'd calm down. She would lay her little head down on her pillow and just watch me through the glass door in my other patients room. She must've really loved her Lateesha. Even though she was cute and sweet she was a handful and I was oh-so-glad to see her gone when I returned to work tonight.

Anyway, enough rambling. I hope erbody enjoys their day!! mucho loveo to all!!!.......i just realized my one blog could really be lots of blogs...oh well.
