Spoiled Little BratI was at work today and one of the nurses happened to have a HUGE bag of a special brand of cheese puffs that I liked. Michael had brought it home before and ever since then I've always liked it. It's soft and light...cheesy, but not too crunchy. It reminded me of a childhood snack I always had...Filipino brand called "Cheese curls." Anyhoo, as soon as I spotted it, I wanted to rip apart the unopened bag. Surely enough, the nurses had started munching on it and offered me a bite. Of course, I had been eyeing it all night and would not turn down such an invitation. But being shy, I only took a few pieces. Dang!...they're too good, I had to have more. Throughout the 11 hour shift, I kept on passing by the nurses' station to steal some more. The Filipino nurse that brought it in didn't mind and had actually encouraged me to take more, since I had became friends with her in the past few hours (we just met today). Irregardless of how much I had, I couldn't wait to stock up on it at home. Hence, I was going to ask my reliable significant other to get me some. TEXTING: "Babe. I have a craving. Can you buy me something?" (7:09 PM) "What?" (7:15 PM) "The cheese puff....pirates booty" (7:34 PM) "What happened 2 the pmpcorn u bought??!" (8:00 PM) (I had bought a huge bag of Smartfood white cheddar flavored popcorn over the weekend.) "But I want this one...pretty please. Can you buy me some at Stop and Shop?" (8:01 PM) "Maybe" (8:02 PM) "By the way. U spelled popcorn wrong." (8:01 PM) ======= Time passed ======== "Did you get it?" (8:35 PM) "Later, I'm studying." (8:38 PM) After that text, I felt kind of bad. I figured he was busy, so I just stopped bothering him and let him study for his boards. I came home about 20 minutes ago and LO AND BEHOLD, I see a Stop and Shop shopping bag with a bag of cheese puffs inside hanging on the edge of the kitchen counter with an upside down 3x5 index card. I flipped it over and read the note: "Amor, It really amazes me how much I love you some days. I hope you keep your cravings to a minimum when you're pregnant!" Even though he bought the wrong brand, I still cannot believe he went out of his way to get me what I wanted. He had been working since 5 AM and got home late at 7 PM from the intensive care unit -- but still dealt with my bratty requests. It was a rather stressful night at the ER, but that gesture just made my day. And so I wake him up to say thanks. I then laughed at myself for being such a "spoiled little brat." He just topped off the night by saying: "When I texted you 'Later, I'm studying.' I had already bought it for you." I kissed him goodnight and had the biggest smile on my face. He's the BEST  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On a side note, I hadn't worked in this Pediatric ED in awhile, so I bumped into a nurse that Michael had worked with 2 yrs ago. "So your boyfriend is doing intensive care, huh?" "Yeah. He just finished his last interview yesterday for the fellowship." "There's a huge demand for intensivists and they get paid a whole lot!" *shrugs* "He just enjoys taking care of really sick kids -- in dying, critical conditions. He hates examining for regular pediatric stuff - gastros, otitis medias, fevers, lacerations, little stuff." "He's such a great doctor. I can tell he'll be a good intensivist." *gave her a weird, skeptical look* "When did you work with him?" "Oh not much. I can just tell by the way he carries himself. How he is with the kids. They like him. He's just a nice all around guy. And very good looking too!" *SMIRK* "Oh please!" (But deep inside, I felt so proud. Yeah, that's my man!) hahah | 
to put this whole baby up, and it's gonna be sad seeing it sell off part by part.
