Happies & Crappies

The Vintage Modern Wife: Happies and Crappies Link Up
Time for another edition of Happies and Crappies. I love this link up not only because the hosts are fun but because I like the idea of sharing both happy things and crappy things from the week I am just finishing up. I know that everyone has ups and downs in their week so here are mine this week:

I like to start with the Crappies and get them out of the way so I can end on a "happies" note {pun intended!}

Crappies
  • I am sick with what seems to be a sinus infection. My head is full of pressure and pain. Not is stuffed, throat is closing, ears hurt... the whole 9 years. Blah!
  • One of the doctors that I work with wrote me a Rx for amoxicillin today since I am sick and asked for it and when I went to fill it after work the pharmacy wouldn't fill it because he didn't put a number of days on it... ridiculous pharmacy person! It has 30 tabs so clearly when they run out then I am done. Poppycock!
  • This week have been exhausting, five 10 hour days with no break {no lunch} and standing the shoe time in a row is taking it's toll on me this week!
  • Biggest crappie of all was on tuesday tuesday when we got to the office we were practicing at that day and the heater had frozen (it was -37 that day) and so there was no heat. The office was like 40 degrees inside and we have no heat. So we worse our coats and literally shivered to death seeing our breath the whole day. Wonder why I am sick? ;)
Happies
  • I am finally practicing in my specialty!!!!!!!! I have always been passionate about women's health and I have arrived. Hopefully this opens up lots of opportunities for me and I can learn many more procedures and things.
  • It is friday, that is always a victory.
  • Umm, I am too sick to think of any more positives right now, sorry! haha.

Must Read List for 2014 & Happies and Crappies

Friday, January 3, 2014

I am really trying hard to get myself into reading. I love reading but the hard part is finding time to read and staying awake to do it. Now that I will be working more than 40 hours a week on top of everything else it will only be harder but I really want to do it. So here are some of the books that I really want to read in 2014. If you have any that you would like to suggest or any comments about any of these PLEASE let me know in the comments!

Losing Hope (Hopeless #2)- Colleen Hoover
The Dinner- Herman Koch
The Fault in our Stars- John Green
Slammed- Colleen Hoover
Hunger Games Mockingjay (#3)- Suzanne Collins

So, what would you recommend? What is on your list to read for 2014?

The Vintage Modern Wife: Happies and Crappies Link Up
I have to start off my saying how much I love this link up, so fun! Lets start off with the Crappies so that we can end of a "Happies" note.
Crappies:
- My weather app tells me that it currently feels like 3 degrees outside, that is so cold, BRRR!
- My job situation is still crappy and I am still mad about it and sulking (are you sick of that yet?)
- My little guy has a tummy ache and has woken up crying for me a couple times tonight, poor baby!
- I still have christmas shopping to do, ahhhh!
- I have TONS of wrapping that needs done, STRESS.
- The biggest crappy of all: I have a paper cut... yep, the worst!
Happies:
- Today I have dinner and drinks with the girls at the Wine Bistro... that means WINE, CHEESE and good CONVERSATION. YESSSSS!
- Christmas movies on TV everyday? SOLD!
- My christmas tree makes me happy, period.
- This blogging thing is great, I am doing it way more often and I am loving the connections that I am making with other bloggers.
- My fridge is starting to finally get christmas cards on it and I LOVE THAT!
- My christmas cards came in on wednesday night and they are all addressed and ready to go, shipping out today (FRIDAY!).
- My son is adorable and loves to RUN across the room to give me huge hugs and kisses, is there anything better than that in the whole wide universe? No, no there isn't. It completes my world.
While some really tough things have happened in the past week and we are going through a really rough time due to my job loss I cannot do anything but know how lucky and thankful I am to have my son and family this holiday season. We have a christmas tree with presents under it for him and he loves me unconditionally. That is all I need, the rest of the things in life are a bonus. I prayed and begged and pleaded to be a mother and now I am. I said that was all I needed and I was right, it is all that I need.

The Vintage Modern Wife: Happies and Crappies Link Up
I am linking up with U Gotta Have Hart today!

Happies for the week:
  • My New job! This qualifies for a post of it's own so that is coming tonight, keep watching for it!
  • Last weekend was our annual halloween party and we had SO much fun! The photobooth pictures were awesome and we got to see so many of our friends which was great.
  • I am in love with At Home Gel Polish kits! My friend Kelli has a kit and we do our nails when I am over there hanging out and helping her (she broke her ankle and had to have surgery, ouch!). They are the best thing since sliced bread, thanks Kel! I plan to get a kit for Xmas, hope the time goes fast =)
  • I found boots that make my heart flutter this week! I CANT WAIT TO WEAR THE CRAP OUT OF THEM!!!!!!
Crappies for the week:
  • I am sick =( I have a cough/chest cold and just feel like crud!
  • I had to take down a ton of listings from my etsy shop to prepare to start my new job so I am in a "hiatus" of sorts between paychecks. This means i'm broke, which is CRAPPY!
  • I was crappy about my diet this week. Instead of losing weight I just maintained, most people would say "hey, thats ok!" but it is really not because I need to be losing because I am on a mission people!!!!
What were your happies and crappies this week? Link up with me!!!
