Colder Weather.

For those of you out there that haven't heard Zac Brown Bands new song I think I will share it with you.. Its one of my favorite songs out there and its one of those songs that you never get tired of.  I think I have listened to it several times already today..  If you are a country fan then listen to it.. Its awesome..  I know this isn't one of my normal blogs but I was listening and thinking and wanted to post it.

She'd trade Colorado if he'd take her with him
Closes the door before the winter lets the cold in,
And wonders if her love is strong enough to make him stay,
She's answered by the tail lights
Shining through the window pane

[Chorus:]
He said I wanna see you again
But I'm stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then
She said you're a ramblin' man
You ain't ever gonna change
You got a gypsy soul to blame
And you were born for leavin'

At a truck stop diner just outside of Lincoln,
The night is black as the coffee he was drinkin',
And in the waitress' eyes he sees the same 'ol light shinin',
He thinks of Colorado
And the girl he left behind him

[Chorus:]
He said I wanna see you again
But I'm stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then
She said you're a ramblin' man
You ain't ever gonna change
You got a gypsy soul to blame
And you were born for leavin'(born for leavin')

Well it's a winding road
When you're in the lost and found
You're a lover, I'm a runner
And we go 'round 'n 'round
And I love you but I leave you
I don't want you but I need you
You know it's you who calls me back here, baby

Oh I wanna see you again
But I'm stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then
Cause I'm a ramblin' man
I ain't ever gonna change
I got a gypsy soul
And I was born for leavin' (born for leavin')

When I close my eyes I see you
No matter where I am
I can smell your perfume through these whispering pines
I'm with your ghost again
It's a shame about the weather
But I know soon we'll be together
And I can't wait 'til then
I can't wait 'til then

Word to the Wise

So word to the wise today is.. DONT PISS MEL OFF... So since deciding to pay full price for the Iphone, I have been calling around to check the availiability in local stores. So first off I call Apple because there is a store right down the road from my house at South HIlls Village. I am sitting on hold waiting my turn when all of a sudden this, what sounds like a young kid says Apple..  There was no Hello this is.. No can I help you.. No nothing just Apple..  1st strike but I over looked that.. Then I say, " I am checking the availability of a white iPhone 4s 16GB". His response, "we only have a few and no Black." Then I say but you do have the white and he says," yeah thats what I said wasn't it."  So strike #2 and then the Italian in me says," Well I was looking to buy one at full price because I am not due for an upgrade but guess what its not gonna be from you."  Then he says but wait and then I said "CLICK"...  That kind of attitude gets you nowhere with me I don't care how busy or miserable you are, you smile on that phone or you don't get my business.. So looks like Verizon will be getting my $650 and so much for that kids comission on that..

My Fed-Ex Fiasco

Ok so story goes like this. I'm sitting at work Saturday morning and I decided to look at Apple's website because ever since my brother introduced me to iMac I have wanted one. So playing around I thought ok I am gonna apply for financing (which never thought would go thru).  So I chick done and for any of you that have applied for credit you know that that annoying little clock starts turning its arms at it thinks weither to give you credit or say SORRY!!!  So it turns what seems like forever and then all of a sudden APPROVED appears at the top of the screen.. I jumped up, said OMG, and then just about fell over.. They gave me a $1300 credit limit with 0% interest if paid in a year. How could anyone pass that up right.

So once I got home I picked the one I could afford and placed the order.. Needless to say I am such an impulse buyer (so I have been told) that I really didn't think to stop and look at my finances to see if I could afford another payment. In my mind when I want something I want it now and that all there is to it..





                                            


So now comes the Fiasco part.  I really didn't think that it would ship the next day so I put my home address for delivery and then I would see what I could do to be there to sign. So once I realized that was going to be a problem I called Fed-Ex and tried to get shipped to work address. Well needless to say they told me they couldn't do that and that I should call Apple to change that.. So guess what comes next, I call Apple who in turn tells me that it is already to late to change that since it has already beem shipped. They then told me to call Fed-Ex back and have them place a hold at facility request in so that I could just go pick it up. So I call back, ask "Carol" if I could have driver call when he was close to house and I would meet him.. She said "NO" because they have no communication with their drivers after the delivery goes out.. So then I ask can I have it held at a local Fed-Ex so that I could go pick it up.. Carol says, "Sure".. She scheduled the hold, so she says and that I would get an email once at location and then I could go pick it up.. So being the control freak that I am I have been tracking its whereabouts. So when I checked this morning when I woke up it was back at the facility that it originally started out at.. At 6:30am it was on the move again.. Not to where it was suppose to go but back to my residence which will then be its 2nd attempt at my house.. Once more and it will be sent back to Apple as non-deliverable..  Needless to say at this point I am furious at Fed-Ex and can't call to bitch them out because I am at work and I can't act like that in front of patients. So my hands are tied until I find out where it ends up next.  It better be at my Fed-Ex or I am getting "Carol" in really big trouble..

So in the Grand scheme of things this is exactally how I feel right about now..

Have I Gone Stark Raving Mad

So the day has progressed from busy to me thinking I might be alittle LOONEY...  The story begins as that I am driving home from work and of course like everyday I am stuck in traffic (YAY ME)... So I am sitting and sitting thinking of the many things that I would rather be doing when all of a sudden I rain of sudden fear comes over me. I start to sweat and I feel alittle faint when out of the blue for no apparent reason, I have this overwhelming feeling that my air bag is goin to blow up in my face while sitting in this traffic.  I am a very short person and my seat in my jeep is up as far as it will go in order for me to push the clutch into the floor when I shift so if the airbag would go off unexpectedly it would sure break my face..
                                                                     
don't ever let fear hold you back

So no matter what I tried to think about this plaguing feeling of this airbag breaking my face would not leave my mind. So after sitting there for what seemed like 20 minutes of sweat and fear tormenting me,  traffic finally starts to move and as I drive down the road getting closer and closer to my driveway my mind goes back and forth with the insanity of not knowing whether I will make it home safely or if I will be picking my head  up off the back seat and driving it home to hand to my husband.

So my question is am I going stark raving mad or is it just boredom in my own mind?

What a Different Kind of Day

Well today started out like and other day in the life of Me.. I woke up @ 5:30am, feed and watered my 2 wittle wagging love bugs, ironed my husbands shirt and woke him for work. I got ready for work and then the fun begins. I tried to take Jax and Bailey out to potty before leaving for work and unsuccessfully brought them back in for a LONG day in the crate.. Did I mention my boys HATE the rain and will hold it for hours just so they don't have to stand in the rain.

So I drove to work kindof not paying complete attention to the wet roads from the pouring rain.. Thankfully I made it to work safely only to be greeted by multiple deep puddles of water in the parking lot that I was unable to walk around.. Feet soaked and socks drenched I walked into work sloshing all the way down the hall to my office. I came in, sat down and noticed that my phone had 25 medication messages on it.. WOW people are really desperate when they don't have their drugs for 1 day. You would have thought we were gone for a week and all the Pharmacies had shut completely down.. So after taking off all the messages and distributing all them to each specified doctor I finally get to eat my breakfast.. Which by the way was a yummy chocolate chip bagel from Panera. I continued with my morning patient calls and finally lunch was here.. I was a good girl today and ate a healthy choice meal and a weight watchers ice cream treat which was pure heaven..

Now here I sit at 1:04pm and I have to say (knock on wood) that its been pretty boring for me today which NEVER happens.
