A Day of Surprises!

Today has been such a good day...let me just tell you a little bit about it...

I worked today. I wasn't scheduled to work but volunteered because they were going to be short staffed. It was a pleasant surprise because we ended up not being short staffed at all. It turned out to be an all around low-key, cooperative patients, no having to page a doctor kinda day. The best part was that I got to work side by side with one of my best friends for 12 hours today. She and I partner in being charge nurses of a unit so we normally never get to work together. When she's at work, I'm not. When I'm at work, she's not. Today was awesome!

On my way home from work I called home and Little Sis answered. She told me about surprise #2. Apparently Little Sis and BFF came up with the idea to cook hubby and I dinner tonight. Let me just say that this has never happened before. It was a first in this household...but I hope not the last. Dinner was awesome!


The girls fixed a casserole that was out of this world. It was almost like a chicken pot pie...minus the vegetables. They also made a Caesar salad, my favorite!

Ok, surprise #3. I've saved the best for last!

Remember my recent 100th post cupcake goodie giveaway? And remember Jennifer H. being one of the 2 giveaway winners? Well, Jennifer truly out did herself. You have got to go read her post from today. It's creative, fun, exciting, inspiring, adorable, funny, and just plain awesome. It will be one of the best posts you'll ever read! Jennifer's post personifies why I love blogging. I love the friendships and the connections that we make, I love how our actions branch out and touch others, and I love how friends posts can so totally brighten my day! Go check it out here.
