How did I forget the Cadbury Eggs?? I eat them oddly. I eat just enough off the top to get my pinky inside and then I dig the goodness out. And that sound completely filthy.
What do you think about the worst candy ever? I'm going with Peeps. Just disgusting.

Easter
I really love Easter, for a TON of different reasons. One of them (not being the most important) is the fact that there is a lot of great candy in grocery stores. I don't eat candy on a regular basis. However, around this time of year, I just want a huge basket full of the stuff.
Today, I thought it would be fun to talk about our favorite candy. Some of mine are: chocolate covered strawberries (I consider them a candy, what do you think?), Milky Ways, Twix, any kind of plain smooth chocolate (especially that Dove stuff.... wow), 3 Musketeers, Mike & Ike's, Sour Straws, Reese's Pieces, Sixlets... I think I like candy a lot more than what I thought before...
That is all for right now. Well, besides to say that I am really looking forward to getting out of work on Friday. Freinds will be home and I will be off for a week and have a trip to Chicago planned. So excited!

Just another day...
I slept until 10am today. I don't like doing that. However, I decided after a Blues WIN last night (make that STOMPING of Pheonix) I would just turn off my phone before I went to bed. I never do so. End result? No alarm, and I wake up at 10am on the dot. It is what it is.
Today really is just another day. I have not heard from Wash U yet, which is slightly irritating, but I understand that I am just not supposed to know yet. Everything comes at the time at which it is meant to come. Wouldn't you agree?

Twice in one day
I don't think I've ever blogged twice in the same day, but today deserves two blogs.
It's a great day! I got up and played around on my free wifi (also what I'm doing now), and went to the bank and got a money order and stamps to mail off to the real estate company for my credit check. Should know if I get the apartment in the next two to three days. I ripped myself a CD of the ridiculous tunes I bought off iTunes last night and took it into the car/to work as well. Included in that mess was a song by the band Dangerous Toys, called "Sport'n a Woody". Yes, you did read that correctly. It is the dirtiest song I have ever heard (yes, dirtier than "Hot Cherie"), so I decided to google the entire song lyrics. It's so bad it's worth a share, so here goes: http://www.lyrics.com/index.php/artists/lyric/dangerous-toys-p-12684-lyrics-sportn-a-woody-t-1944254.
Have fun with those lyrics. (I know you're laughing, Rox.)
I also had about three really good TWSS's at work. (For those unaware, TWSS translates to That's What She Said, a great game to play.) On a normal day, I would say I top out at two. Today was especially funny.
Another funny thing that happened: On a day in which my friend Matt McCormick is working, I will almost always demand a three-minute shoulder rub. A little background: Matt is the charge nurse in the O.R. And I am always tense after the day shift leaves because they are always cranky. So after they leave, I head down to the main O.R. desk where everyone sits at the end of the day. We trade shoulder rubs, then back to work. It breaks up the day and that's nice. Today was no different. I went down to visit, but this time was much funnier than normal.
While getting my shoulder rub, Matt found what I would call a kink in my shoulder. Then this conversation happened: (And FYI, Marti is an awesome nurse who works at the desk daily.)
Matt: That's tight.
Marti: What?
Me: Matt found a kink in my shoulder.
Marti: Well, we always knew you were kinky.
Matt: I didn't even know that.
Marti: How would you know?!
Matt: UUUHHHHH....
Me: What the hell just happened?!
And then we all laughed.
To top things off, I got Qudoba for free for dinner tonight. Life is pretty good. : )

This is a good one
It's short and sweet, but I can't stop thinking about how true it is.
Some things in my life way be in complete disarray right now. However, I trust in God that there is a reason for it. In fact, I now understand that He has shown me that while a lot can be wrong, but having someone by your side that you know is not going to go anywhere; someone who is always going to support you, no matter what; someone who cares for you just as much as you care for them; that is the important piece of the puzzle. Finally understanding that is awesome for me. : )

Back to being happy
The last week has really been a test for me, in a number of areas. I am trying to be a better person in a number of areas (being more patient is one of them), and it was a stretch this week. For those of you I've been in touch with, I will apologize for not being myself lately. However, I think this weekend really helped in a lot of ways.
Friday morning was rough. Looked at a place around 8am, and right after I looked at it, the person who looked at it the day before put in their application. I had another appointment at 12pm, but they called before the appointment and said someone had just rented it. I was bumming.
The guy who took me to look at the first apartment called me back that afternoon and said they had just recently bought and are rehabbing another building just a few blocks away from the first one I saw. So Saturday I went to look at that apartment, and I like it more than the first. It should be done in a week or two, and as long as I pass the credit check, I should be A-OK. I have my fingers crossed, for a few reasons. I am really REALLY sick of looking at apartments, and this one is pretty close to Benjamin. That will be nice.
After looking at the apartment, I decided it was a nice day to sit outside. So I grabbed some laundry, beer, and cigs, and headed to Ben's place. Sat on the deck for a while, played around online, listened to some tunes, got my laundry done... All in all, felt a lot better.
Today was awesome. Church with the manfriend and Mom in the morning, pizza for lunch and a nap and hockey in the afternoon... and now I'm hanging out. I am 100% sure that Sundays are my favorite days of the week.
Haven't heard from Wash U yet, and if I haven't heard from them by Tuesday, I am going to call the director and see what's up. I've prayed a lot about this, and if it's supposed to happen, it will. If not, something else will come about. I have faith in that.

Huey Lewis and the News
Again, I am trying to stay optimistic here... So I am writing about things that make me smile. Two things happen when I write these blogs: I smile, and some of you get to a: relive a story, or b: hear a new one. If you're in the latter half of that second part of the equation, feel free to ask questions as to what I am talking about if I do not clarify a story well enough.
With that said...
While driving to work today (and, oddly enough, earlier this week as well) I heard "I Want a New Drug" by Huey Lewis and the News on the radio. (I read a poll somewhere a while back that ranked this at number 2 on the "worst songs ever" list.) Yeah, Huey Lewis (with or without the News) is funny. But they become funnier if you're Rachel, Roxanne, or myself.
A few years back after Roxanne's dad passed, the three of us were in the Provence basement going through some of Myron's old records. Roxanne comes across this beauty of a record, Sports, that included the solid hit "I Want a New Drug". I will forever remember the look on Roxanne's face when she pulled that out of the stack. It said many things. The strongest sentence her face would have said is, "WHY THE HELL DOES MY FATHER OWN THIS?!?". And if you know Rox, you SO KNOW that's true.
Needless to say, I laugh at HL&TN all the time. But especially during this special song.
