Too Much Excitement Last Night

I spent 3 hours in the ER with my father. Sadly this was from 10 pm til a little after 1 am.

I have to wonder, do the hospitals not get paid if the patients aren't in the ER for at least 3 hours, if not 4?

Thankfully, it was only a bladder infection. He was given antibiotics and was sent home with us after about 3 hours.

The only problem is, I only got about 4 hours of sleep last night and I have to go to work in less than an hour.

I don't know how I'm going to keep my eyes open for 8 hours, I really don't. If only I could call off.

Someone please pass the super strength coffee!

Another Sunny Day

Sadly just like all the rest, the majority of it is being spent inside. On a plus I can get out to get the mail later and take a short walk, but other than that, its inside I'll stay, staring at the four walls of my office until 4 o'clock.

Boo hiss!

Sometimes I really wish that offices could be in the out of doors, especially when th sun is shining and its supposed to be near 80 degrees out.

No one in their right mind would want to be indoors on a such a gorgeous day.

Heck, I'm not even in my right mind and I don't want to be inside today.

Missing Mondays

If I were brutally honest I'd have to say that today I miss having the day after Easter off. The only time that occurred was when I was in high school though, and I really don't miss high school at all.

Another thing I'm missing today is Chunky Bars. Anyone remember these strange square candy bars filled with peanuts and raisins?

We used to have them in the house all the time when I was a kid.

I think they still make them, they just don't sell them anywhere where I can buy them. That's probably a good thing too, because I'd be the size of a barn with Chunky bars around.

Yes, they were that good!

I want a Chunky NOW!

Happy Easter!!!

I'm hoping that some of you have heard this Easter song because this song was my childhood. It's Eggbert The Easter Egg and its sung by Rosemary Clooney.




Happy Easter everyone!

Lots To Do

I have 2 reviews to write this weekend. I have much laundry to do. Oh and mass tonight is the super long Easter Vigil service, and that's the mass I'm probably going to attend. I'm a bit batshit insane like that.

I'm just not sure where they time is going to come from.

Did I mention I've also got to help with the cooking for Easter?

Yeah, that too.

Why is it that holidays only mean more work? At least the really big holidays?

I think I like Memorial Day, Fourth Of July and Labor Day better. All they require is me sitting on my butt and eating burgers and hot dogs, that Dad makes on the grill.

Life is good during the summer holidays. All the other ones are just a hassle!

Top 5 On Friday

Top 5 musical things that you are excited for this spring/summer


You guys know the drill. Play along in the comments or in your journal. This meme is created for my site Music Memoirs. Feel free to go there and check out my other weekly memes and play along.

1. The Gordon Lightfoot concert in June.

2. The new Andy Bell CD that I think is due out in May

3. Hairspray @ The Benedum in July (assuming I can afford it)

4. The Phantom Of The Opera in Aug/Sept I'm not sure which one of these shows I'm going to, but I'm excited for both this and Hairspray. I'm thinking when it comes down to money, The Phantom will win.

5. Free outdoor concerts: I'm hoping there are a few coming up at Oglebay this summer.

Yesterday Was Super Awesome

It was a rough day starting out. I was battling the spreadsheets from hell at work. I went to the gym, did shopping at KMart to get cards for Dad for his b-day tomorrow and dessert for dinner.

I didn't even turn my computer on until shortly after 6 p.m. yesterday evening and I was greeted by an email from The Palace Theater saying that Gordon Lightfoot would be playing in Greensburg June 16.

I squeed and noticed they were doing presales already!

Guess what?

I'm going and my seats are Orchestra, row C!

I'm so excited and I didn't even know about this until the email came! I'm so thrilled. I love Gordon Lightfoot! This made my day, and will be the first "real" concert I've been to in 2 years! Last years shows were all freebies.
