Disney or bust!

In two short days, Glen and I will be Disney bound for a magical 7 night 8 day stay at the Disney Resort..so excited! This vacation is much needed..my stress level has been in the red zone for quite some time, as if it were a level of possible terrorist attack..I would officially be on HIGH ALERT. Outbursts of frustration and meltdowns in Meijer parking lots are over OFFICIALLY as of RIGHT NOW. I am in the middle of a glorious 15 days off of work! Not that I don't love my job, but the time off before the trip to Disney helped me successfully finish my leadership final project for school and oversee the installation of 17 brand new windows in our house!

This trip falls just before our 1 year anniversary and I have to say that regardless of the stresses I complain about, this year has been the absolute best year of my life. In December I blogged a posting about my hopes and dreams for this year and so far so good. I can't say that I've become more patient, but we have settled into our beautiful home, I'm loving my new job, I've been crafting away to de-stress, we found a great church and we are closer than ever. I had a conversation about this with my Erin a few nights ago over some Cinco de Mayo margaritas...about how I feel more in love with my husband now than I was the day I said "I do" and how amazing that feels. Erin is in the middle of planning her August 2011 wedding and I couldn't be more thrilled for her and Jake and I pray they experience the same blessings Glen and I have.

Happy Anniversary to my amazing husband and my best friend. I cannot thank you enough for your love, support, compassion, and patience. We have been so blessed this year and have experienced so many changes, I can't wait to see what this next year together brings us!

Showtime teaser

So this month, Comcast's OnDemand is allowing us basic cablers to view showtime for 1 month. Perfect! I've been dying to watch Nurse Jackie which I've heard is a HOOT from some friends at work and from schoolmates- apparantly it demeans, demoralizes and disgusts the nursing profession. Sounds like its just up my alley. So what do I do? Pull a couple all nighters (normal for my night shift self) to tune into the entire first season and I'm officially hooked. I'm now as addicted to this show as Nurse Jackie is to Percocet, Oxycontin, Vicodin or any other narcotics she can sleep her way towards. This lady snorts, swallows and chews pills that she gets from the pharmacist she's currently having an affair with and her nose is now starting to bleed. The pharmacist has just been replaced with a pyxis and is losing his job and just before he leaves, he teaches her how to unplug the thing to reset the pill count. As you can tell, this is tv perfection. I have to applaud Comcast, really. I'm now looking into how much it'll cost me to add showtime to our menu. Effing geniuses.
