My Gabbie girl

Isn't she precious!!!

Meet my lovely lady, miss Gabbie. I have had her for three days and I am already convinced that I could not live without her. She is the toast to my jelly, one might say....and I'm in love! I can't even remember the last time I felt this happy!

She is a three-month-old lab, shepherd, golden retriever and pit bull mix. She is the perfect combination of playful and relaxed, and she is a major cuddler! Everything I ever wanted! She has already learned to sit, and tomorrow we will work on laying down. She is a very good student. 

At the moment, she is passed out on the pillows and snoring like a grown man....it's ridiculously adorable. I can't wait to play more tomorrow!

YAY GABBIE!

Tree time

Sitting by the Christmas tree with a hot beverage (possibly including Bailey's) is one of my most favorite things in the whole world! Amy and I set up our tree this afternoon and the holiday cheer is radiating through our apartment. I already can't wait to come home tonight and simply delight in the glory of the Christmas season and our beautiful tree. I am one happy lady :)

Residents got jokes

Here is an inappropriate joke told by one of my residents that I wanted to share with everyone....

Q: What's the difference between a woman in church and a woman in the bath tub...???

A: One woman has hope in her soul and the other has soap in her hole!

The first thing I thought of when I heard this joke was: Professor Riest.....I am positive that he would feel a great amount of joy by hearing this. He could add it to the countless other inappropriate things he says in the classroom, haha.

SMILE! Hehe :)

Episode 2 of "The Elderly Say the Darndest Things"

There are many things about working at the assisted living home that are nowhere near fun....in fact, some things can be quite dreadful. But then there are also numerous other aspects that I absolutely love. For example, a while ago I wrote about how "The Elderly Say the Darndest Things." Well it happened again tonight. Like always, there were two residents remaining in the living room watching their nightly movie. One was male, the other was female. Again I'll call them John and Jane. Most of the residents were already in bed and things were quiet around the home, so the other caregivers and I were enjoying the peace and quiet and chatting about life (we were actually discussing the awesomeness of rollerskating, lol). This is when one of the girls noticed the HARD CORE sex scene that was taking place on the TV. And I'm not kidding when I say hard core! I can honestly say I've never seen a sex scene to rival it, haha.

So here is the dialog that followed:

Caregiver: "OH MY GOSH! John, what are you watching?!
John: "I don't know! I didn't know it was going to be like this! It's supposed to be a war movie....I thought it would be a bunch of combat!"
Jane: "Well I'd much rather watch this..."

Then moments later this is what I overheard....

Jane: something, something...."drop his trousers and pull his pecker out...." something, something....

Man! How I wish I had heard the rest of that sentence! HAHA!

Skeletons in the closet...or something else??

My director would not be too thrilled with me advertising this story....but it's just too funny to keep to myself!

So at work last night my director was giving a family a tour of the home. He had already spent a lot of time with the family, informing them off all we have to offer and all that jazz....so the only thing left to do was to show them around. The only room that we still have available is one of our biggest rooms that has it's own bathroom and a walk-in-closet. Huge selling point, right?! Well here's the kicker....just as my director was highlighting these points, he opened the door to the closet where he and the family were shocked to find a huge pile of crap right in front of them! There was even a skid mark running down the side of the wall! BAAHHHAHAHA! One of the residents must have been disoriented and mistook the closet for the bathroom, and since the room is empty, this little accident went unnoticed.  Needless to say, my director was NOT very happy. Oops!

Body pillow

I haven't had much of interest to write about recently, but in one of my previous posts I said that I was going to start writing songs and I have been doing just that. As a result, my late-night thinking has developed from  random nonsense to rhymes about random nonsense. I have found it extremely satisfying, but poor Amy can attest to my serious lack of skill in this area. For example, here's what I was thinking last night about my body pillow. I bought it a few weeks ago and have fallen deeply in love. I can't believe I have lived my whole life without one!

My body pillow brings me joy

It takes the place of stupid boys

I wrap my arms around it tight

And sleep until the morning light

Seton Hill

I just got back from my interview at Seton Hill in Pennsylvania and wanted to share this glorious campus with you all. Now.....try telling me that you wouldn't want to attend such a heavenly place?! You can't, right?! Yeah.....because anyone with eyes should want to go here! It's BEAUTIFUL! Let's see if I get in....!
