february goals update

February 28, 2013

Here’s what happened with February’s monthly goals. Leave work on time. Well, I did better. I left late half the days I worked instead of the majority. And over half of those times were either less than fifteen minutes (which is pretty good, but still makes a difference in my commute) or because I was in charge. I will probably always be late leaving when I’m in charge and that’s just that. I would say that I am pretty good about leaving on time on regular days, and it is definitely a high priority for me now. It’s actually a good thing for my patients too because I am very prompt with them, which they like. All in all I am…

bookshelves and a new (old) desk

February 26, 2013

When we first looked at our house I fell in love with these custom-built bookshelves and immediately asked if the owners would include them with the house in our offer. Thankfully, they agreed. We have a lot of books. The left side is David’s. The top two shelves are all Stephen King, the next two are miscellaneous hardbacks and trade paperbacks, the next is stuffed three layers deep full of mass market paperbacks, and the bottom shelf is my overflow, mostly reference books and Bible study stuff. David’s books might not the prettiest, but I decided long ago that since this is OUR house, not mine, I want it to reflect our shared life. The right side belongs to me,…

My aunt gave it to me for my birthday and I’m totally in the mood for a historical fiction so it jumped to the top of my list. Wanting // the IKEA PS cabinet in white, but no telling when it’ll become available. It would be perfect to store office and craft supplies in a toddler-proof way. Thinking // about how to be a better wife, better mother, better nurse,…

happy valentine’s day : a giveaway

February 14, 2013

Since it’s a work night David and I aren’t doing much for Valentine’s Day other than exchanging cards and maybe eating takeout for dinner, but it’s still a good excuse to celebrate love in all its forms. Meredith’s class has a party today so we are contributing napkins handing out adorable little cards, and I dressed her in an outfit with hearts all over it. I’m still sad that she will NOT keep a bow or clip in her hair for more than 2 seconds though. I’m really looking forward to the days when she will let me play with her hair a little more, because there are so many cute hair things out there! My good friend Emily, for…
