Okay, first of all – can someone please tell me when this Nurse Rose chick showed up??!!
I take a well-deserved, itty, bitty vacation and the next thing I know – McDreamy seems to have forgotten all about little Miss Grey and has turned his attention to some outsider named Nurse Rose. The nerve!
You’d think I would’ve gotten a phone call. A text? An email!? For cryin’ out loud, you’d think someone would’ve told everybody’s favorite bartender about the mysterious little lady stealing McDreamy’s heart, but noooooooo. I had to hear about it from Mark Sloan, of all people. Now, of course, nobody ever believes what Mark Sloan says. But, when my boy Alex confirmed the presence of this… nurse… I took it for fact.
Apparently, Nurse Rose and Derek have been seeing (and kissing) each other for over a month! The funny thing is, as Mark so eloquently pointed out, they’re not sleeping together. Ah, so they haven’t sealed the deal? Yet. Well, I, for one, think that’s just splendid. Everybody knows that I’m the biggest Mer-Der fan around. So, as long as Derek just sticks to working up patients – and not scrub nurses – then Meredith isn’t completely out of the picture. Right? Right.
Here’s hoping that both Derek and Meredith figure things out, get their acts together and fall back in love… with each other. Not that I think they ever fell out of love. No, they just need to work through their own personal issues (by themselves) and then get back together. And, until that happens, I better not find Nurse Rose walking alone in any back alleys.
Okay. Now that that’s outta the way…
Hello again, world wide web! Oh my, I’ve certainly missed you. Between having twins, running the bar, visiting Walter’s family and going on a mini-vacation to Arizona, I’ve somehow lost touch with you all. What can I say – things got a little crazy. But, I want you to know that I’m back, and I’m going to be updating this here blog a lot more frequently now. I’ll be discussing all things Seattle Grace… Everything from Derek and his scrub nurse to this newfound friendship between Callie and Erica that I’ve been hearing a lot about (from Cristina, mainly).
Oh, man, Cristina is pissed! She was just in here ranting and raving... Callie and Erica this. Callie and Erica that. According to Cristina, Callie and Erica are bff’s and didn’t even bother to tell her. Yeah, Cristina allows Callie to move in with her and the next thing she knows – it’s all “my-buddy-and-me” between Callie and Erica. As far as Cristina is concerned, Hahn is supposed to be her “mentor.” She’s not supposed to be Callie’s best friend. You know, it sounds like somebody’s just a wee bit jealous.
I’m sure Cristina wishes that she was the one staying out all night and partying with Hahn. Maybe then Hahn would go a little easier on her. I mean, it’s obvious that Cristina’s been trying to impress Hahn, but, so far, she hasn’t had any luck. Of course, Cristina has never been the type of girl who shies away from challenges. The thing is, however, Hahn may be too much of a challenge for even Cristina to handle. Only time will tell, I guess…
Cristina took off once Alex started teasing her about losing some sort of contest. Evidently, the two of them were involved in some sort of surgical contest that took place over the last 14 DAYS at the hospital. Izzie and Meredith participated, too. Yeah – the four of them were living in the hospital for a full two weeks. They ate hospital food morning, noon and night. They slept wherever (and whenever) they could. They rarely showered. They DIDN’T LEAVE SEATTLE GRACE. So they’re either really committed or really, really stupid (and smelly).
Meredith ended up winning the contest. She supposedly won a highly-coveted, shiny, sparkle pager. What’s so great about a sparkle pager, you ask? Well, not only does it – I don’t know – SPARKLE, but, for the next three months, whenever somebody gets a surgery, that person has to first page the sparkle pager. And, if Mer wants that surgery, then it’s hers! Well, like I said, Alex was ribbing Cristina about being a loser and losing out on the power of the sparkle… And, that’s when Cristina just got up and left, yelling “SPARKLE THIS” on her way out… She was in a bad, bad mood tonight. But, that’s Cristina, what can I say?
So, Izzie was depressed about running some patient through a slew of unnecessary tests and George and Lexie had to deal with their crapartment, but, where was Meredith tonight? I’m surprised she never came to the bar. Didn’t she want to celebrate her win? Didn’t she want to show off her sparkle pager live and in person? I guess not. That’s when Alex told me that Mer lost a patient today. He passed her on his way out – Apparently, Meredith was working late. It looked like she was focused on a bunch of research. Good for her! Maybe it’ll help her do that whole “growing up” thing. Besides, Mer could probably stand to avoid the bar for a little while anyway…
By the way, I heard that Meredith recently started seeing a therapist. What, was I not doing a good enough job? I listen to people’s problems. I give advice. I offer support. Best of all, I’m free (although tips are always welcome). Well, I guess I can’t be mad at her. I just hope this “therapist” of Mer’s isn’t some quack and will actually help her with all of her issues. Yeah… It’s gonna take some time…
Alright, folks, that about does it for me. I’ve gotta get back to work. Speaking of which, I could use a hand or two over here. It’d allow me more time to blog, that’s for sure. So, anybody looking for a job? I should just hire Alex, as much as I see his ugly mug around these parts. Well, anyway, I hope this blog finds you in good health and in good spirits! Until next time…
