trying to take a snow day!

hey everyone!
well its snowing in baltimore hun! and of course hopkins is wide open! some doctors have cancelled their afternoon but we still need to be here for phones and those docs who want to work the day. ofcourse this is also a decision based on a practice manager that has 4wheel drive. so she will have no problem getting home. then theres those of us who have sports cars! as for tomorrow....probably open an hour late. we cant incovience the patients! grrrr. i want a snow day! it is pretty outside and i cant wait to go home and play with chase in it. he's already excited about it this morning and even suckered my mom into going out side and running around with him. which ended up with her slipping and falling on her butt. so that was the end of that.

ok well ill have pics posted tonight! let me get some more patient cancelled.

hugs!

a new girl for 2009

hello everyone!!!
well 2009 is off and running. i have decided with a new year should be a new erin (eriney). first i went on a diet. which is working out pretty well. robbie and i started to loose weight while over in germany. so i decided to continue with it! i need to! i dont fit into my cute ski pants and if i get a new job i cant afford to buy new clothes. which i am working on getting a new job. which leads me to my other new erin. robbie and i went house hunting this weekend with a new realtor. we totally loved her! and we think we found the house! its a 4bedroom 3.5 bath, end unit town house! now we have to get the loan paper work re-approved and then make an offer. its in leesburg va. which would be a 10min drive for robbie and an 1.5hrs for me if i stay with hopkins. it has a huge back yard for chase and plenty of storage space. so keep your fingers crossed. now your probably saying why in the world would she drive 1.5hrs to go to highschool!well see heres the thing. i dont want to find a va job till robbie settles on a house. so for the time being i would have to work in md. now once he settles ill look for a job in va in leesburg or sterling. even might do frederick. it will all work out. robbie and i have discussed it. another new thing for me is my hair! i decided to get it curled! so i got a perm! i have to say it looks pretty good and my hairdresser didnt have to cut any off!!!! robbie loves it. chase wasnt sure at first with it. he kept sniffing me and my hair and looked very confused. :) got to love puppy. we will be taking chase to the new town house when we get it. but dont worry theres plenty of room for visitors and ill be in md one weekend a month. we will be having house warming party pending getting it. this is a big move for robbie and for our relationship. but we are excited.

ok back to work to earn money to pay for house stuff. its exciting in a way!
hugs and loves
erin

keep your fingers crossed for us!!!

Love the three day weekends

hey everyone
well its a lovely three day weekend (four day for robbie). we went skiing yesterday (sat) with kiki and torey. it was fun. i had to try to remember everything i learned last year. i did fall four times. which would have been fine. if at the third time when i feel i didnt land on my side where my sionic nerve is. which of course pulled that. which i didnt notice till i feel the fourth time. grrrr. at that point i couldnt get up for a few minutes. me being the proud person that i am, didnt want robbie to get the ski patrol to take me down. heck no. i got up and tried to ski again but couldnt move to one side to slow my self down going down a long green slope. which btw i didnt want to do in the begining but kiki wanted to do the blue one up there. she said i would be fine. yea right. i remember this green from last year. i didnt like it then and i still dont like it. so anywho, after trying to ski down the mountain i couldnt. poped the skiies off and walking i went. robbie was of course with me and walked with me. i did walk down to the part of the mountain i know how to ski. its the end of that train that you can start on at a point. so i tried to put the skiies back on. i put my left foot in to the lock, but when i went to push down on my right to secure it into the ski, yea right. i couldnt get the pressure down on it with my back hurting. i finally did get it in and skied slowly down the rest of the mountain. yes tears were streaming down my face at times. and yes i did yell at robbie bc i was in so much pain and i couldnt communicat with him so that frustrated me more with him. so yes we were alittle upset with eachother. well we got down the mountain and turned in the equitment. called his sister and said that we were heading home bc i was in pain. as for the weather. it wasnt that bad. after we all got bundled up (AGAIN THANK GOD FOR UNDER ARMOR!) we were pretty warm. the only real cold part was on the ski lift and they were making snow. yea blowing snow up on a ski lift. not warm! and googles are good also for this. but other then that we were fine. my nose is alittle wind blown but it will live.

so today is the day the RAVENS clinch the afc title! yea baby! im currently in va with robbie where our friends are redskin fans. blah! but they are rooting for the ravens! so we will be heading over around 530 for game preview and food! we will win this game. im sort of disapointed in my little niece lacey. shes amberlys oldest. i went out to dinner with amberly this past week and meet her over her place so i could give the kids and amber their christmas gifts from germany. after lace got her gift she ran upstairs for something. she came back down with a squeelers jersy on! WTH! oh heck no. i know this child isnt on that team. she then asked me if i was going to take her to dinner again if her report card was great this quater. i told her on a few conditions. one would be she couldnt wear that jersy around me ever again! she had to be a RAVENS girl. i swear! what has amberly done to her. but in all fairness greggs family are pittsburg people. so yea. we will still win! and we shall see if i take lace out to dinner. ;-)

robbie is now back to the whole house hunting thing. hes going to email a new realstate agent that his xboss is going to be using. this agent only works for buyers. which will be nice. i think hes finally talking me into allowing a town house first.which will suck alittle but it needs a chase friendly yard! if its a nice town house fine, i would love to have an end unit. but they usually cost more. he has finally started to agree to let me help pay for the house stuff alittle till im totally moved in. which means ill have to change my job hunting from md to va now. which is fine. since im tied of working in a highschool. i just hate not knowing what is going to happen. im a planner. i get it not only from being russian but according to my family the males in my family. my uncle, grandfather and greatgrand father. they were all planners. what can i say? it does drive robbie up the wall. esp when his sister, who is alot like me, and i start talking about doing stuff together and invloves the boyfriends. lol he hates it. but its all good. he said he makes his head hurt. of course hes said that about when i talk to other girls, like his stepmom or aun in germany. lol.

ok well the diet is going fine. this was all set off last sunday when i went to get into my ski pants from last year (which are very cute and shows off my ass nicely) didnt fit! grrrr. plus the fact they cost me $75.00. so im determined to get back into them and other clothes. i cant wear my "work" uniform forever. i need to be able to get into my orignal dress work clothes. i dont have the budget to buy new clothes if i were to get another job. esp if a house is coming. so ive been trying to stick to my diet. even my beer has been the lighter budwiser. lol. hey you cant cut out everything! i started to loose weight while over in germany. you walk everywhere over there! which was good for us. robbie is also trying to loose weight. we would love to go back to germany next year (which we are in the process of actually planning. all we need is money for food and plane tickets) and be able to climb the alps and walk around the cities with out being out of breath. i want to be able to be skinnier for the spring when i go see my friends who own a b&b near skyline. and we are heading to keys in august. bathing suit season will be here before you know it.

which you would never guess by the freaking cold air we are currently having! THANKS MINHEE FROM CANANDA! I APPERCIATE THE COLD AIR! JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE IT DOESNT MEAN YOU NEED TO SHARE!!!!!! lol well she is down to -44degrees some days. so i guess we shouldnt complain that bad. chase doesnt even like the cold air. if he doesnt have his jacket on (yes you read that right.) he doesnt stay outside to chase dear or anything else. he does his business then is howling at the door to be let back into the warm house. :) im so happy hes not the type of dog you have to walk! hence again why robbie needs to find a chase friendly house and yard when he does buy it! lol

ok well got to go get ready to go to the gym with friends and the game.


LETS GO RAVENS!!!!! BALTIMORE IS COMING TO GET THE SUPER BOWL RINGS AND WE WONT STOP TILL WE HAVE IT!!!!! GET OUT OF THE WAY. YOU IN RAVENS COUNTRY NOW KIDDIES!


WHATS OUR NAME!!!!!
RAVENS!

friendly up date

hello friends!!!
well its the begining of the new year and im on my way keeping one new years resolutions. i determined to loose wieght! i tried on my cute ski pants this past weekend and my nice russian thighs wouldnt let me fit into them. blah! so im starting out trying to shape up for the new year! with me heading to the keys again this summer and robbie going i want to look great snorkling!

news from germany keeps coming in to my mail box. robbies dad is on his 6month walk from his house to the black sea! wow! ok the man is retired from luftonsa airlines (which is the german airline) since end of november and this is what he wants to do . :) so petra is at home with the puppies and says shes having a wonderful time with out walter. which is cool. me personally (and ive told her this) i wouldnt be able to let robbie go for that long. i wouldnt be home when he got back. gutron and gernut are doing great (robbies aunt and uncle in munich) and are happy at the new post that his uncle is at in the german airforce. we are looking forward to hopefully go back in 2010!!! we are planning a three week trip this time. start in munich, then franfurt, and then end up in northern germany (berlin and kolon). so we are excited.

robbie and i are doing well. we have had our ups and downs so far this new year. hes stressing about buying a house which is understandable. but we are working through it. we will be going skiing this weekend with his sister and her boyfriend and some other friends. hopefully i wont fall and bruise up my buttock like i did last time! but i have sunday during THE BALTIMORE RAVENS game!!! which we will win against the squeelers! all we need is for r. lewis to do a couple of good blows to some of the offensive side of the squeelers and we will have it in the bag! GO HEAP! GO MATT! WE ARE WACO FOR FLACO!


ok so i guess i better go before cut-thoart comes and getts me! have a wonderful day!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! 2009!!!

hello everyone!
i hope everyone had a wondeful safe new year. i know amberly and her family were sick. which kind of sucked. but hopefully everyone there is doing better.

robbie and i rang in the new year and celebrated our anniversery together with friends at stef's and johns place. we played guitar hero on xbox, drank, ate, and kissed our way into the new year. it was alot warmer then last year. we had planed to go to dc for the fireworks, but when baltimore cancelled theirs due to that nice wind storm so did dc. and johns daughter who was in town was sick. so we wanted to make sure the group stayed together.

new years day we stayed in bed till noon then had lunch and chilled for the rest of the day. friday i had to work (bc i was out of vacation time from germany) while robbie went to meet his college buddy smitty (jeremy smith. robbie had four jeremys in his life back in college) for lunch. jeremy told robbie on new years eve that he was engaged and robbie was asked to be a grooms man. so in may robbie will be heading to louiville kt, i have no idea if im invited let alone if ill be going. going to weddings isnt my thing anymore esp to people i dont know and to watch my boyfriend walk down the ile with a hot bridesmaid. so robbie had lunch with and when i got home from highschool robbie had dinner in the oven and a romantic setting. i didnt have to lift a finger. which was great. we exchanged cards since it was to close to christmas and germany. and yea we are poor. lol

saturday we headed to his moms and grandmoms house to exchange gifts. we worked on germany pics before hand and then had dinner with the family. we didnt get home till late. sunday we relaxed and then head to point of rocks for a walk.

i have to admit coming home today and robbie not being here is weird. i have spent almost 3weeks nonstop with him. even coming home to him new years eve and the day after new years. but we are back to our regular scheduale for a while.we do have mlk weekend. which we will be going skiing hopefully with kiki, torey, brenda, john, and stef. well at least robbie and i will be going. i hope i remember everything i learned last year. we will go vday weekend for sure. since thats when we went for the first time and where i told him i loved him!

work is the same. i love having my vacation time thrown in my face! something certain front desk girls do at times. even when i want to take a full hour of lunch. so im back to job hunting again. im determined. i refuse to spend another year in that practice. of course at times my patients make the bad stuff into good. knowing tomorrow my one of my favorite patient will have delivered her second child and ill be able to see her!!! yea!!!! lol thats the only good that comes out of it.

well im off to entertain robbie.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! MAY 2009 BE BETTER THEN 2008 FOR EVERYONE!
