My crew greeted me yesterday morning with a balloon, card and some bagels. Yum! Oh, and I got lots of hugs too. Happy "Your the one that keeps this office running" Day!
Too bad I was too exhausted (see previous post) to really appreciate it. I only went it to do a report and then I went home.
Jeremy worked a half day so when I got home we went to MedExpress to find out why he has been coughing so much - just his allergies apparently. Dropped off his new prescriptions at the pharmacy, went to Arby's for a quick bite, back to Giant Eagle to pick his prescriptions up, and then went home to sleep. Ahhhh....sleep :)
We watched way too many episodes of NCIS, had some grilled cheese sandwiches, and then went back to sleep.

Self portrait time!
On Tuesday night, Jeremy and I spend our first night apart since the night before our wedding. Why? Because I was at the sleep study lab to find out if I have sleep apnea, which I do.
I arrived at 7:45 and was shown to my bedroom. It was nice - full size bed, recliner and a flat screen tv. After another consultation, Jim started to wire me up. I had wires "glued" to my scalp, chin, close to my eyes, chest, and legs. Then I had a monitor strapped to my chest and one strapped to my stomach. This whole process took us to about 10:30 where I was then allowed to go to sleep. (Jim also had to do this to the guy in the room beside me which is why it all took so long)
Sleep. It was so hard to do. I had anxiety about being there, I had anxiety about being in an office at night with 2 other guys, I had anxiety about my electrodes coming off and I had anxiety about trying to make myself go to sleep.
At 4:30 Jim woke me up, took my electrodes off, and sent me home.... at 4:45AM! After sleeping for maybe 3 hours total, he woke me up and sent me home. I was terrified the whole way home because I was so tired, didn't really know where I was and it was still dark outside (obviously).
I made it home safely with just enough time to go to the bathroom and wake Jeremy up to go to work.

Buddy + Pansy = almost death
A few weeks ago, my sister was cleaning her betta's tank and he jumped out and went down the drain in the sink. Poor Blue. I laughed because it was funny but felt bad since Blue met his untimely death and Beth was upset.
Well, my revenge(?) for laughing was this morning. I put Pansy (our betta) in his little cup with lid and had him on top of the dresser. I was cleaning his tank in the kitchen when I heard it.....
THUD!
I headed towards the bedroom, looked on top of the dresser....no Pansy.
I looked on the floor....no Pansy.
I looked at Buddy, who was sitting on the window sill....not eating Pansy.
Then I wondered, did I put him on top of the dresser?
Looked again on the floor....no Pansy.
Tried to look behind the dresser...not possible.
Something made me look in the laundry basket....Pansy! And still in his little cup!

Friday 4.17.09 - Pirates vs. Braves
We scored 2 luxury suite tickets for last night's game thanks to my awesome boss. We have been to quite a few games but never in the box..... I could get used to this!
Here is a shot of the hallway. Each door goes to a suite.
The inside of our suite. Dean and awesome boss Jenn discussing the food.
The outside of the suite. The blue rolling chairs are on the top level and then there were oversized stadium seats below them.
The view. Jeremy first noticed the field - he knows how to make lines in the grass too.
No Pirates game is complete without the pierogi race!
In true Pittsburgh style, we were watching the Pens kill the Flyers on the multiple flat screen tv's that were everywhere.
And, we were listening to the Pens game on my Zune.
Jenn and I later discussed that we were both in the wrong business. 8 hot dogs and 8 hamburgers = $156! Holy shit!

Beth was visiting Mom and Dad for Easter so on Saturday they came out here for a visit. Beth was really hungry for grilled Greek chicken so I made kabobs. Looking at the pictures is making me hungry!
Mom brought dessert - chocolate-covered marshmallow peeps, cupcakes, brownies, and chocolate-covered brownies. They were so good and yet so very wrong.
