Not a whole lot has been going on lately. I have been working a lot, which is going really well. I'm still loving my job! Took care of my first "celeb child" the other day. Can't say who though, privacy policies of course. The hospital gave us a "gift" the other day...it was an emergency kit. Kinda creepy, I think they are preparing us for "the big one" ....earthquake that is. Who knows, maybe they're just trying to keep us happy during this economic crisis. Construction on the new hospital has come to a halt at this time, and merit increases on pay have been postponed for 1 year. The economy has finally hit the medical field! The merit increase isn't really a big deal to me, I will still get my raise when I am promoted to "RN II". Merit increases are at the end of each year, when they go over your performance at work.

On to more uplifting news.... nephew Ethan is soooo perfect! I can't wait to meet him. Also, my new second cousin Kamdyn is beautiful! I cannot wait to meet them both when I come home, which is in 24 days...woo hoo! I'm excited to head back to So.Ill for a few days. I'll be home May 4th-10th.

Nicole is coming in next week to check out UCLA Mattel Children's Hospital and CHLA. After that, we are roadtripping to Vegas in my convertable for the weekend! Should be a blast! Saturday is the Britney Spears concert, which is getting good reviews.

Hope everyone had a Happy Easter! I worked and we had Greek food for lunch (at 1am), so that was my Easter dinner. It was really good though. I'll leave you with a few of my favorite pictures that I've taken in Venice Beach. It has come to be one of my favorite places in LA. It's so ecclectic and vibrant. Very laid back and super chill. I love walking down Oceanfront walk just taking in everything... seeing all the things people are selling and listening to the music people are playing. A great place for people watching.
