late to the game...

hey, there's this show called "how i met your mother" - maybe you've heard of it? yeah... this was me about a week and half ago. i have this thing with CBS shows and neil patrick harris. i don't typically like to watch them. BUT, after bub kept hounding me to give it a chance, i relented and well, here i am - nine days later, smack in the middle of season five. we have done nothing but watch every.single.episode. each night after nuggie has gone to sleep. how the heck have i been missing this?!? it kinda makes me feel dumb, like i'm running around screaming to people - hey, have you heard of this little show called friends? whatever, better late than never, right? anyone have season 7 they want to lend to me? netflix only has up through season six.

a new little buddy has come to live with us :-) his name is mosby (duh, like ted mosby... told you we've been living in the land of HIMYM). anyhow, he's a sweet little 10 week old siamese kitten. long story short, he was abandoned and needed a home. we've been wanting to bring in a little companion for olive. and he is perfect. i know it sounds kind of silly, but i feel kind of blessed that he came to live with us. he's absolutely the sweetest little man. he's so patient with nuggie playing with him and never, ever scratches or bites. he let's me rub his cute little belly. he loves to snuggle. he loves to play. he's not a sour, snippy, meany like olive is. ollie will always be our number one - we've had her just as long as bub and i have mr. and mrs. it is nice to have a sweet, little compliment to the fam.

i survived work orientation last week. being away from nuggie for four full days nearly broke me. i have a huge amount of respect for working mommas. work-work starts this week. just two days. no big deal. though it will be rough getting used to working 12-13 hour days. at least they're day shifts. i have to complete eight day shifts shadowing another tech, then after that i can be "on my own" sorta, kinda. and then i can work days, nights, weekends, whatever. nights will be best for us though, so bub can stay home with nuggie and i won't miss too much family time. nights are gonna stink. any advice from other night-shifters out there? i'm afraid of crashing about 3am and curling up on some empty bed somewhere :-p all that aside, i really am excited about getting started. i'll let you know how it goes.
