Sigh...

Katie brought McKenzie to work today (she had the day off).  You wanna talk about a sweet baby!?!  Man, I don't think that child did hardly anything except grin and laugh the whole time.  I tell ya, I would consider myself blessed to even have a child, but doubly so to have one with such a sweet temperament.  I even got to hold her the longest.  *wink*  Not gonna lie though, it did make me a little sad.

Tomorrow is the Excellence Banquet for Cone.  Little did you know, but I was nominated for Employee of the Year for LeBauer.  Yay me (sarcasm).  Not that I'm not proud or anything, but I got nominated for the GEM for cleaning a dirty bathroom after a patient and subsequently nominated for EOY for said deed.  While it's an honor, I did that crap (literally) nearly every week when I was a tech at the hospital.  It kind of feels like I'm mocking my past.  But I will be awarded with a $500 check, and a weekend getaway for two at the banquet and I can park at the building for the year.  Not a bad deal, actually.  I'm nervous about tomorrow night because I feel uncomfortable with so much attention...and I have to get on stage.  EWW.  I'll be letting you know that goes.

Great quote I just heard on TV: "...the thing is, when you focus so long on the things you don't love, you forget the things you do.  And that list is so much longer." ~ I really like that.

Oh yeah, and I found this awesome necklace that I really want on fogcitycharms.com.  They put a word of your choice from a vintage dictionary behind a small piece of glass on a chain.  I'm totally going to get one but can't figure out what word I want.  I'm struggling with a word that describes me vs. a word I want to strive to be.  Hmmm...
