Cancelled

So I got cancelled till 11 today, which means I go in at 11pm instead of 7. Well, then my charge nurse called me at 10ish to say "well, I don't need you at all tonight- but if you really want to work you can go work on the Tele unit" and I said "No, I'm good staying home in my pj's!"

So here I am- at home in my pj's with nothing to do until 6pm tomorrow. Guess I could have gone to the dog park with Nichole from work after all...

I'm trying to think of things I'm going to do with my night off because I'm not going to be tired for awhile. I think updating my netflix list and this blog are on the list. Not sure what else besides maybe finishing up HP5.

So Netflix update is done. Woot.

Maybe some quiet introspection.

Probably not.


Oooh, maybe dishes and cleaning out the living room...maybe.

Hopefully also a little more narrowing down of the paint choices. After a checkbook balancing session, I may be purchasing some samples. Maybe Friday.

Maybe. I've got a long night!!

Wow-weee!

I'm looking at those resolutions I made for myself in August...and the only one I did was go to WW meetings- which I stopped doing in November. It seems I'm not one for resolutions.

Or blogging, apparently.

My new year wasn't as "Hey!! It's the new year!!" as it normally is because I worked NYE and the days around it and then had two days at home and was back again. So now that I'm on day 4/7 off I feel that I can really address the new year appropriately.

This year I want to do a lot of things now that I have the whole buying a house thing out of the way. I think last year I just wanted the whole home buying process out of the way and over with because it sucked.

I want to save money. Not put $100 bucks in savings and then use it later the next week when my checking account falls short like I always do- I want to SAVE the money. For use for a fence or a car or Steamboat or something bigger than padding my checking account when I've spent too much money at the drive through.

Which brings be to the next: I want to cook more. I'm a good cook. I'm not a chef and I'm not going to be making up recipies any time soon, but I'm a good cook and I have plenty of cookbooks. I'm a good baker. I have all the utensils at my disposal in my kitchen. It's cheaper and healthier than picking up take out or running through the Whataburger drive through at 2am. Or anytime for that matter.

I want a fence. I want to get a good tax return so I can have a fence. I am not so patiently waiting for my W-2 and all my tax forms from the mortgage company so I can really get my taxes done and start pricing fence parts and labor and all that business.

I'm also about to ban myself from Bed Bath and Beyond. I have been inside every BBB in the metroplex in the last three weeks and it's gotta stop!!!

I think that saving money and cooking more at home are two pretty good things to do for the year. They'll cover a lot of things that I need to do.

Plus paint the house. We'll see if that one ever happens.
