My son Ayden - AKA Spiderman!

My son Ayden loves Spiderman. I mean loves Spiderman. So of course he wants to be Spiderman for Halloween. And of course, we bought him a Spiderman costume. And, being 2 1/2, he doesn't want to take it off.


At all.


Ever.


At least he looks darn cute! And happy!
In fact, he's sitting on the kitchen floor right now, dressed as Spiderman, eating a granola bar, and trying to coax the dog into chasing him.
Yay Spiderman.

Confessions of a Coffee Crazed Nurse

So it's been established that I love my job. And Wednesday I got to do a fabulous delivery. The kind that brings tears to my eyes. A lovely young couple, having their first baby. There's nothing more magical than to see the instant bond between the parents and the infant as he's born. Both mom and dad burst into tears as the head came out and cradled their new infant, never taking their eyes off him. I love those moments.
And here's some pics of my son, shortly after he was born!

In the hospital, after his bath!

Going home! Looks like a pirate . . .



Escaping from his blanket. Hard to think he was ever that small!

I won stuff!!!!!

A couple of months ago I entered a few blog giveaways. Never thought I'd win, but hey, why not? So imagine my surprise when I won not one, but two giveaways!

First is a gorgeous pair of earrings from MABjewelry. I love these earrings! They're so lightweight, it doesn't even feel like I'm wearing them! They're also very simple, yet sophisticated.



MABjewelry has so much other wonderful jewelry too! Braclets and necklaces abound! And I love her motto "no naked wrists". Be sure to visit her shop - you'll be glad you did!

Next is a fabulous pendant from Luv2Have! It is stunning! And I mean stunning! The colors are perfect for the fall season, though I know I'll wear it all year long!


Luv2Have has a huge selection of fused and dichroic glass pendants,earrings and rings, and all are beautiful! I highly suggest you visit her shop!!

I'm so happy that I won these two wonderful pieces of jewelry! I'll be wearing them both proudly!

Some funny things . . .

Today I'm sharing some funny musings and pics. Why not? We all need humor!

The quotes are from people in their late 20's. I got them in an email from a friend. And the pics are from the site People of Walmart. Enjoy!

-Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.

----I've totally done this.


-----Um, I really don't know what to say about this one.



- How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear what they said?

-----yeah, we've all been there.



----How am I supposed to slap a ho without a balance breakfast?

-I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it's on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.

-----This is so, so true! Especially when I'm at the gym . . .



----I don't know why you're laughing. This guy is HAWT!!

Hope you enjoyed today! I need all the help I can get today with a cranky 2 year old screaming that he "has boogers" yet won't blow his nose or let me use the bulb syringe to suck them out. Nope. Just cries and whines and screams and throws things. Awesome.
