Surprise!!
I wrote the last entry half asleep ... I should have had some caffeine before I blogged. That entry was extremely disjointed.

Happy birthday to me!
I am officially exhausted. Yesterday was my birthday, and what was the best present I got? Ten and a half hours of sleep! I was in bed before ten and didn't get up til after eight (my first day off in twelve days). It was amazing.
In addition to the sleep, I also had some nice and one not-so-nice surprises. I got an awesome haircut on Thursday (nice!), but as I was leaving the salon, I found out that Sebastian has yet another cough and won't get to come home this weekend (not-so-nice). Friday I went to work knowing that I would have to stay later than usual to cover for someone til she got back from clinic to be on call, so I was prepared for a long, busy day.
One of my big pet peeves from work is when people page me with just a call back number. We carry text pagers, so why not make use of the 120 characters you have to give me a heads up on what you want instead of typing in just 4 numbers? Even worse, I got paged about 30 minutes into rounds when I was meeting with the other doctors including my boss to discuss all of our patients; I hate leaving rounds to return pages because I tend to miss out on something important that's being discussed. I called the number back only to rind out that my sweetie had ordered a dozen roses to be delivered to my hospital as a birthday surprise. Doh! What a great surprise! Then the girl I was covering got back to the floor around 4:45 when I hadn't expected her to arrive until 6 or so -- I got to leave earlier than I thought!!
After I got home, I got to open my presents from my parents. They are in Sweden right now, so my mom shipped my presents right before they left so that they would arrive on my birthday -- so thoughtful! I love to open presents ... no idea why it's so exciting, but it's one of my favorite parts of Christmas or birthdays (watching other people open theirs is actually even more exciting!). I ended the day with a delicious dinner of sushi (mmmmm, tuna sashimi and firecracker rolls) followed by me crashing as soon as we got home. My sweet husband just laughed because he knew how tired I was.
Now the hubby is off taking some exam for work, so I slept in and am now spending the morning lounging around and watching the Food Network. I'm unsure when he will be done, so until then, it's lazy Saturday for Sarah. After he gets back, I want to grab some food, run errands, and hopefully go see Shrek the Third either tonight or tomorrow after church. Oh yeah, church! Another exciting part of the weekend, I actually get to attend church twice in one month. That's a rare blessing with my schedule, so I'm really looking forward to being back.

Sad news
Sad news ... Sebastian caught a little puppy cold, so we didn't get to pick him up this weekend. I didn't realize how much i wanted him until I couldn't get him. It's going to be a long five days ... no Scott, no Sebastian, and I have to work late on my birthday on Friday. Can't wait for Saturday to get here! Scott will be back, he'll be done with his test by Saturday afternoon, and we can go pick up our little man. :)
