I think it's fair to say we had a good weekend.  Saturday morning I found that my invitations had been delivered, two weeks earlier than expected, sometime on Friday.  They need some minor assembly, I've gotten about thirty done so far.  That afternoon we went to Target to re-stock my bathroom (I was almost out of pretty much every thing that a ( Read more... )

I'm a real nurse now.  I technically have two more weeks of being supervised left, but I don't care.  Two days ago I saw the most spine-tingling, gut-wrenching, awe-inspiring thing of my life.  Now considering how many childbirths, open-heart procedures, NICU babies, and pediatric surgeries I've witnessed, a statement like that means a lot.  There ( Read more... )

Aimee sent me flair on facebook today, so naturally I spent the last two hours paging through over one hundred pages of flair picking out the little buttons that best describe me.  I don't know how many pages there were total, around 120 I gave up and started searching for specific categories (nurse, greys anatomy, the office, etc).  It was the ( Read more... )

It turns out the invitation I've tried three times to obtain samples of hasn't been printed yet and samples won't be available until the end of the year.  It's only May.  Back to the catalogs, I actually picked the one that Dan circled way back in the beginning.  It just grew on me, and the sample of that one was actually better than the online ( Read more... )

Last week was my last week working day shift.  I've graduated the first half of orientation.  All that stands between me and being a "real RN" working all by myself is a few more weeks of being supervised on my designated shift.  A huge part of me is thrilled.  I had a million and one problems working day shift.  I hated the sound of my alarm at 4: ( Read more... )

It's gorgeous outside.  I just took a thirty minute nap sprawled on a sheet in the back yard.  It was just short of being perfect.  If only the rest of the day could have been so nice ( Read more... )

Lately (and by lately I mean the last nine-ish months) I've been finding myself returning to this site.  Having so many things to say, I'd furiously pound away at my keyboard.  Sometimes I'd get a few sentences down, a few times I wrote a short novel.  I always hit the delete button instead of the post button.  I'm not sure why.  Ugh, that's not ( Read more... )

I saw this on someone's facebook page and figured it'd be a good way to procrastinate ( Read more... )

It's all coming to an end. I'm almost embarassed to say how excited I am. I'm really just tired of this place. It's not my home, I've come to realize it never was. There were times that I was distracted by good memories and I felt like this was a safe and happy place for me to be. About half way through last year I realized it was just kind of this ( Read more... )
