Cirque, baby!

So, for Nate's 29th birthday (which was 3-24-06) we're going to see Cirque Du Soleil: Varekai in Portland with Matt and Jenn on Saturday night. I'm very excited. We don't get many outings away from my Mr Bean (who will be having a sleep-over with grandma Bobbi). We're also meeting up with a friend of my from college who moved to the Portland area about a year ago from Kansas. She's lived here a year and I haven't met up with her yet to get caught up. So, that will be fun.

I got some great news yesterday, too. My dad and step mom Jo will be coming to visit in 2 weeks! We've missed them terribly and haven't seen them since August. They'll be coming from April 20-25th. I'm very excited. I'm going to try and talk my dad into building me a picinic table for my deck so we can eat outside on nice evenings. Then move to the patio for a nice fire.

Saw a patient today: I believe I've spoken about some of the never ending joys of my job, haven't I? Today I had a 87 yr old not only explain me to the color, consistency, and ODOR of his feces, but then he divulges further into explaining how sometimes his Viagra is ineffective unless he masturbates before hand (excuse the pun) to "Get 'er started". Thank God I am able to tune out stuff like that and think "Cute puppies, giggling babies" while smiling saying "Uh huh, okay, right". *blink, blink*.
