Just a few things

1) Benjamin Ladner is an idiot. But American University is even more stupid for letting him get away with it and then still offering him a severance package.

2) I have rediscovered the musical duo Storyhill (formerly Chris and Johnny). I used to listen to them back in the day, but kind of forgot about them for a while. They describe themselves as acoustic folk-pop. I describe them as good.

3) Apparently there is a woman in Arkasas who just gave birth to her 16th child. She is 39 now and had her first one when she was 21. The gaggle of kids includes 2 sets of twins. Apparently she and her husband say they want more. They must be crazy.

4) I finally made it to freaking level 7 of Tumblebugs. Apparently this is not a big deal because my sister and her boyfriend have already surpassed me.

5) My favorite travel nurses ever, Jeff and Kelly, are starting back with us on November 7th. They are hard workers and hilarious as all get out. Bring on the Hello Kitty Uno!

6) Last week my application for Clinical Nurse III status at work got approved. The benefits of this? First, it looks good on my resume. Second, I get to have a new ID badge. Third, I get a $1500 bonus.

7) Had a work "happy hour" (aka dinner) last night at Caribbean Breeze in Ballston. The food was very very good. The menu said that they were voted the best happy hour in DC. Not quite exactly sure who voted that, but I imagine it could be true. If you are around Ballston sometime, check the place out.
