Oh yes I did, I wore two different shoes to work yesterday!

Click on picture for closer view

See what happens when you get dressed in a dark closet
AND when you buy two pair of shoes similar in height and looks.

One is black and the other is dark blue. 

Luckily, I didn't have any meetings and was able to stay in my office most of the day.
However, it was a great April Fool's joke that I played on myself and didn't even know it.

I only knew because I looked down to pick up a pen I dropped and BAM....
I saw it. 

Lesson learned... don't get dressed in the dark!!!

Out of Chocolate?????

E M E R G E N C Y
I'm out of dark chocolate !!!

I usually keep Hershey's Dark Chocolate Kisses
on hand for a snack after dinner.

If you are going to eat ANY chocolate,
dark chocolate is the best chocolate to eat.

I usually allow myself two but end up eating four.

Well, apparently, I'm not the only one
eating these as they are ALL GONE!

I would of known if I TOOK THE LAST ONE. 

I could make an emergency run to the store!

BUT, instead, I think I'll be good and eat an
apple and buy some more kisses on the
way home from work tomorrow evening.

Perfect Omelet in a Ziploc Bag

Want to make a perfect omelet? 

I've adopted this process at my home now 
and the omelet comes out perfect
every single time.

You can let each person include their favorites
for their own omelet.

I was home alone last week when I made mine,
I added a couple of slices of ham,
I cut the ham into bite-size pieces.

I also added a bit of chopped onion
and salt, pepper to mine.

You can add whatever you want.
I was going to add cheese but
am trying to cut back so I didn't this time.

Whip the 2 eggs and whatever else you want to add.
I do mine a little bit different from
the instructional video I am attaching,
but am going back to the way I used to do it, like on the video.

DELICIOUS ♥

(click on any picture for a closure view)

I mixed mine in a bowl without the Ziploc bag,
but next time, I'm going to just
shake the bag, like it instructs in the video.



Here is mine cooking in a pot of boiling water. 


Sorry about the picture quality on this picture.
Here is my finished result.
This omelet was so delicious.
It is what I make almost every Sunday morning.

You can make them too, if you have kids,
they can help and add their own favorites.

For instructions to make your own
delicious omelet, click here
to watch the instructional video.

This is great to mix up prior to a camping
trip but I like to use it at home for the
perfect omelet every single time. 

Enjoy......

Ready to go back to work.....

Where did the last couple of months go?
One moment I was clearing away the Christmas
decorations and now Summer fashions
are everywhere to be seen in the stores.

In a little over three weeks the Spring equinox
will take place and a new season will have officially begun.

Time for new beginnings for mother nature and for me.

Tomorrow, I start my new job. 

I am joining the staff at Methodist - IU Health in Indianapolis.
Yes, I am extremely excited.

Aerial view of Methodist Hospital of Indianapolis

Here is a little bit of information on my new employer:

Methodist Hospital of Indianapolis is the largest
hospital in the State of Indiana and is
a part of Indiana University Health.

Methodist is one of only two regional
Level I Trauma Centers in Indiana,
has 802-staffed beds and is one of the
largest teaching hospitals in the area.

The hospital specializes in numerous
treatment areas, including adult cardiovascular
services provided in the new
Clarian Cardiovascular Center.

Methodist physicians and staff performed
the first open-heart surgery in Indiana in 1965.
The hospital is also considered a neurosurgery
center of excellence, as well as an expert
 in organ transplantation, urology,
neurology, orthopedics and pediatrics.

Methodist also staffs the LifeLine helicopter
ambulances and houses the Indiana Poison Center.
In 2004, Indiana University Health
became Indiana's first magnet hospital system.

Indiana University Health operates the
Methodist Hospital, Indiana University Hospital
and James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children
campuses as a single hospital under Indiana law. 
They are all connected by the
Indiana University Health People Mover.

Trivia ~ I volunteered at Methodist Hospital
over 35 years ago during my
Summer vacation from high school. 

We were called Beaconettes instead of
Candy Stripers -
(a candy striper delivered mail
or patient meals, they might help feed,
or read to a patient; assist as a patient
is discharged; or deliver messages.
Other duties include transporting
book or video carts to patient rooms).


The reason we were called Beaconettes is
because the hospital has a
Beacon on top of the building.


The Lighthouse of Health Beacon
was first lit in 1933. The lighthouse is a major
landmark downtown, and can
be easily spotted in the city.

The beacon was a donated gift and was
dedicated to “servants of religion,
who would serve the sick;
to servants of medical science,
who would service humanity;
and to the servants of philanthropy,
who would live for others.”

Oh, and one more reason while I know this
was the place I was meant to work,
this is the hospital I was born in.

My first day will be an all day Orientation and
a tour of the hospital. 

I'm so excited to make some new friends and
to help make a difference in life.

I'll have to save my projects for the weekends now!

Cub Scout Cake Project

I have to do a little bit of bragging on my Grandson, Braden.

He (with the help of his Mom), created an awesome cake
for his cub scout cake auction.

The auction helps raise money for the cub scout troop.

Here he is with his cake.
His cake was auctioned for $27
AND
He got an award for most original design.
(click on picture for closer viewing)

 See how he and his Mom made the cake.
She has step by step instructions here at her Blog.

Here is his cake from last year.
It's a bee-hive cake.

I am amazed at how fast he is growing up. 

I want them to stay little for a bit longer.
