I promise that I won't count too much longer, but today was Day 2 of the new work set-up. It's gone better than expected so far. Today my new boss, the Medical Director, suggested that I obtain a Quality certification. The one that I'm familiar with is the CPHQ...Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality. She said no one in the an had this certification except her. Just add this to my To Do list Ha! Actually it is probably a great idea and would serve me well. I'm already concerned about having to switch jobs when we move without a Master's degree. I gave additional certifications already in coding, case management and managed care...but this is an area that's new to me. So it looks like a CPHQ may be in my future.
Tonight Chad & I are at the Card's game...and, unfortunately, we're less than excited. I'm so used to the Cards going to the post-season...and the stadium being a buzz of excitement. But not this year. This year we tanked it. The stadium is half dead. I can't believe it's out last game of the year and all I can think about is heading to bed. Ha! Sorry boys!
I hope the rest of this week flies by. I'm looking forward to hanging with my BC girls on Thursday night at Jefferson's, a little Chili Fest in BVL on Friday night & the Best of MO Market on Sunday with the fam. Chad is heading out to Tucson for the week on Sat. I'll be flying solo! Watch out! ; )

Day 1...
Day 1 of the new corner I've unwillingly turned at work is now complete...and I'm still standing. It doesn't look like they'll be replacing the position my former boss vacated anytime soon. Wish me luck!
On a brighter note, I made some kick-ass baked potato soup on that cold and rainy day yesterday. Yumm-o! Check out my friend, Ashley's, blog for the recipe. Thanks, Ash!!!
Tonight Chad and I went for a walk around the neighborhood..about a 1.5 miles. Not much, but it's a start for both of us. Chad needs to get in gear but his asthma is his leash. My back is finally starting to feel better again, so I really need to get going again. It was nice though to have a conversation with each other that didn't involve opposite sides of the couch and laptops. : )
Tomorrow we're off to the Cards game. It's our last game of the season. We're less than excited to go...if you can imagine. Ha! Is it even worth saying "Go Cards"?!?!
Go Cards!
Random after-thought...
I couldn't resist sharing this cute pics of my gorgeous niece, Lehni, getting ready for dance class. Have a great week!

**Yawn**
Well it's been one hell of an "awesome" week....NOT! ; )
I actually left the office so stressed out today that I had chest pains! Chad has been just about as stressed out with all of his work as I've been with mine. We're quite a pair these days!
So tonight we're both sitting at the ballgame wishing we were home in bed catching some Z's. Neither one of us can quite yawning. Pathetic! Go Cards! *yawn*
I've been in such a funk lately with work and my back issues. I haven't been able to exercise much or get stuff done around the house. It makes me so crabby! Right, Babe?! ; )
I'm hoping things will turn around soon! Wish me luck!

Phew...
What a weekend...and Monday! I'm exhausted! Saturday, Chad and I met a group of friends up at the Midwest Wingfest in Fairview Heights. I have to say that this was better than expected...even if I don't eat chicken. Here's a pic of Judy, Ashley and I with a hot chick. Please take note of our kick ass $8 plastic "mood" cups...of which Ashley and I do not have any more. : )
Sunday, Ashley and I hit up Vicki's bridal shower. Good times and good friends...and I even won a mum. What a great idea for a shower gift, Angie!
Today I drove out to KC for a whirlwind trip. I have 5 interviews tomorrow (for other candidates...not myself) and then I'm headed back late tomorrow afternoon. I'm going to be even more exhausted than I am now! I tried a new place in Overland Park tonight...NorTH.
Of course, I have to post pics. I chose the pan-seared scallops and wild mushroom risotto. Check out the bright orange butter...

This has been the longest short week. There is so much going on at work that the days should be flying by...but they're not. I'm off to KC Monday and Tuesday to interview some candidates for a administrative support staff for the high-risk pregnancy disease management program at work. Interviewing non-clinical staff is not my strong point. I'm never sure what exactly to look for. When I'm hiring for a nursing position, I can usually read the candidate very well. Oh well. I have 5 interviews back-to-back on Tuesday. Wish me luck!
I've been so in the mood for some Fall shopping. I spent plenty last weekend, but I only want to shop some more. Wish the money tree would grow outside my door!! At least I received coupons for some upcoming sales. I MUST use the coupons, right???? : )
So last night Chad and I met up with my grandparents, my mom and John at St. Stephen's church picnic in Caseyville. I've attended this picnic annually for my entire life. However, this was the first year that I didn't eat the chicken dinner. My grandfather has always fried the chicken, which is awesome by the way. I opted for a veggie plate instead of the chicken this year. (I still haven't consumed chicken since my February incident.) After dinner we head out into the parking lot and play the silly church games...and as always, take a chance on the Barrel of Booze. I haven't won it for a few years, so I'm overdue! : )
We always hit up the beer poker stand, the big six wheel and, of course, the quilt bingo area. Last night we rocked out. The four of us came away with two six packs of beers, broke even on the big six and $110 from bingo. (My mom won the $100.) Way to go Mom!
Today we're planning to head up to the Midwest Wing Fest, where I will watch everyone consume chicken wings. : ) Then I'm sure we'll head across the parking lot for a little wine tasting at Rick's. After that our day is open. Sunday is Vicki's bridal shower, cleaning and packing for KC.
Have a great weekend, y'all!
