Shanna I implore you

Dear Shanna,

I am officially posting a blog for the one and only purpose of asking you to please update your blog. What can I do to help you? I'll do anything. Anything. Today is the 2 month anniversary of the last time you wrote anything. It's very sad indeed. And I am also very sad. Please don't make me sit through another graveyard shift with nothing to read about. It's depressing.

Anticipatingly yours,

Natalie

and the night shift drags on

Tonight I am working the first graveyard shift of my life. 7pm to 7am, and what a treat it is. I had things to do for about the first 2 hours, and now I am getting paid to browse the internet, clean out my inbox, do a little online window shopping, and now I blog. Almost worth it, I know, but I'd still rather be at home in my bed. Still 8 hours to go on my shift. One of the other girls here is making a Wendy's run as we speak, so that will be the uncontended highlight of the night. I'm really looking forward to it. 5-piece chicken nuggets with sweet & sour sauce and a sour cream and chives baked potato, my favorite Wendy's order. It used to cost me $1.13 but they went and hiked up the potato price by a couple dimes behind my back - scoundrels. But honestly I'd pay it any day. I can't get enough of those chicken nuggets. However, let it be stated that the best nuggets in all the world can be found right at your neighborhood food court at Chic-Fil-A. Rhett had chicken nuggets from Chic-Fil-A today, and I almost cried when I discovered he had called me from the food court to see if I wanted any, but I didn't answer because I was at a bridal shower. So he didn't get me any because he didn't know when I'd be home or if I'd already eaten. And those waffle fries!? With FRY SAUCE? It was truly a tragedy. And then add their deliciously pulpy lemonade, with free refills, and I'm a happy girl.

What else to say? I feel like I should just ramble on and on for the sake of filling time, but I'll spare the rest of you.

And as for things to come here on this ol' blog, I should tell you that we officially have the internet at our home now, as of this week. It's very exciting. And I have many, MANY pictures to download and stories to share. So look forward to much blogging excitement and possibly overstimulation. It's gonna be rich. Halloween pictures posted on Thanksgiving? Yes, please.

I have a date tonight

In case there were any questions, I really love my husband. I'm sitting here at work, on the tail end of my 12-hour shift at the hospital, and the phone rings. The girl that usually answers the phones was busy, so I grabbed it. "2 North, this is Natalie." The guy on the other line answered, "Nataree?" That's what Rhett calls me when he's playing around. And I was so happy just to hear his voice on the other end of the line! And then that darling boy asked me on a date for tonight after I got off work. It made my day. (Week is more like it.) So we're going to the Jazz game tonight and Rhett's pretty excited to have some bonding time with LaBron James. And I loved that he officially asked me on a date. Even though we're married, even though we always spend time together, it still melts my heart. It makes me feel giddy like it's our second date or something. He even walked up into the closet and asked me what clothes I want him to bring because he knows I'd hate to show up to a Jazz game in my green scrubs. He's such a good man. Good thing I got ready this morning before work is all I can say. That's rarely something I do at 5:30 in the morning. For some reason, this morning was special. I even curled my hair! The stars aligned I guess.

So I have a date tonight. Now all I can do is stare at the clock and watch it tick tock the time away until I can go and meet this hot guy I'm going out with tonight. I think I have a crush on him.
