I know its been a week and i owe you a couple of posts. The week was full of stress and drama. Everything from me calling a teacher out over telling lies (wonder if I am going to pass that class) to lots of AP drama and the installation of fiber optic TV and internet that wont connect to my little laptop.

But as I still have 3 papers due by tomorrow and one that was due yesterday all I can leave you with is this picture of Misty sunning herself in the window.

They knew i was coming and made tomato soup. OMG I am loving it.

My Scottish friend and her Family where having dinner at the German Restaurant and both Grumpy and I were able to make it. It was nice to be able to hang with friends and have yummy food.

Waiting to enter Howl-o-scream

I gave up my shift last night to get some rest. I had worked Tuesday - Thursday night and hadn't gotten any home work done since its been late nights at the restaurant. Besides the there was a party of 60 coming and a show at the theater so it would have been a mad house and not in a good way because the food takes a while people would have been pissed off so I rather stayed home. My Scottish friend has visitors this week: two of her sisters (from Scotland), one of her nieces and a friend (from Toronto). They stopped by the restaurant Thursday night. Here are they with Ronnie the owner and Ms Dorothy (right) a long time customer and friend or Brenda and I.




Busch Gardens Howl-O-Scream stood on their schedule for Friday night. So okay I was going to relax Friday and maybe do some homework - but Howl-O-Scream can be relaxing right?

You know I am rarely on time (well more like never) but I try. So I said I was going to pick up my friends hubby on the way to the park so they wont have to drive all the way back down (30min past the park) and we'd meet them at 7pm. Well I was there ON TIME and they weren't we ended up waiting for 30min!!!!!




The park was awesome it was hot and humid but doable. First thing - WICKED WOODS. We get around the first corner and there was only 4 of us - shit we lost 3. Damn it were are in a haunted maze and 3 people short - did they get abducted? Eaten? ... We decided there was really no good reason to find out putting ourselves in danger and pressed on trying to get out.

We moved onto Ireland. Photos op in front of the talking tree.












We went on to see the Wicked Witch on Cork Screw Hill. This is an awesome 4-D ride into the old Ireland. See except for Doug, my friends husband, all the ladies get motions sick - so no roller coasters. But I did trick them into The Curse of DarKastle too- both so much fun and purrrfect Halloween rides. And trust me of the "Katy I am going to kill you" screams there was laughter and a few startled screams.
After the Cork Screw Hill we got out just in time for Jack is Back a fun show.



Check out the two Scottish visitors picking up guys along the way. Now wonder they had to wear the horns ...

Sadly we didn't get to do anymore Maze's, haunted houses or rides as the park closed at 10. We did get a chance to get some Ice scream on the way out. Their ice cream is theeeeeeeeee best. I can't wait for Grumpy and I to come back up and check out the rest of the Scarry stuff. (This way I can hide behind his back) Tonight I am joining Brenda and her visitors at the German Restaurant for an early dinner before Grumpy and I head to see some old friends of his.


Oh Shit I better hop to it and get my homework done so I can play.

now back to our scheduled program

Sorry I know it seemed like I was absent .... but I was just very tired and busy. My little buddy had to knock on the window of my office on a few days making sure I stay awake.

Last week was super busy. Monday I worked at the office from 8am until after 10pm trying to get caught up and in shape for the monitoring visit for two of my studies the next day. Grumpy even came by and brought me my dinner (M&M McFlurry) and stayed to help with some of the stuff.

Tuesday I had three Monitors in the office and the rest of the girls were taking bets on when I was going to blow. Normally just one comes and he is the new definition of Stupid. I can't stand him he is a total idiot but thinks he is "the cats meow". The other guy was even worse but at least the lady seemed to have some sense in her. All in all I was proud of myself as I did not snap even once.
After leaving the office I was off to work at the restaurant. We were super busy and I didn't get home till elevenish.

I can't remember what I did Wednesday besides that I didn't work at night and had to finish my paper that was due the Monday before.

Thursday I left the office early trying to get rid of my overtime and get a nap before I had to head to the restaurant. However, as you can see by the pictures the pups had other plans for me.
Here is Mac and of course Sassy had to butt in to be sure she didn't miss anything. So much for nap time.

I had worked 4 shifts this week and Saturday was the earliest that I got home (about 11pm!) We had been busy all week and I loved it since I made decent money. I did have a few quirky customers but nothing out right annoying so that was good.

Sunday was busy too I had the AP meeting at the police station where the girls had fun being in handcuffs. After that Grumpy and I met his mom and her husband at the German Restaurant for dinner. It was yummy especially the plum cake. Not as good as the one that the previous owners made but still good.

Today has been pretty uneventful. I only had one patient, lunch was Thai as it has been a lot lately. I just love the new place that opened around the corner they have the best Pad Kee Mow and their tofu is so yummy.

I did get a rather interesting phone call. One of the other ID specialists called wanting to talk to me about a patients lab and see if she qualifies for one of my studies. A doctor calling me is strange enough but okay so as we are reviewing the patients labs it turns out she wont work so then he asks me what medication to put her on! I told him my guesses but since I don't have her chart I don't know if those would work. It was pretty cool he agreed with me and thanked me for my time.

Well I better head home so I can finish homework and spend some quality time with Grumpy.
