The First Day of the Rest of My Life

June 2, 2008

I woke up at 5 a.m. and got ready just like any other day, except I didn’t take a shower, because I had done that the previous night to relax me (along with taking a Tylenol PM). Also, I maybe went a little out of the way to distract myself from where I was going that day by reading gossip magazines while eating breakfast and checking my e-mail. I drove to the park and ride, a new one that I’ve never been to before. I entered the bus, and noticed that it was the nice kind that seemed more like a charter than public transportation. I encountered my first roadblock when the bus pass my new employer had given me…

I can’t post a picture of my entire wedding dress, because David is Not Allowed to see it. But here’s a close-up of part of it. Which part? That’s a secret too.

photo of the day, take two

May 31, 2008

Time for a study break… So I’ve been lax with my “photo of the day” feature (in the sidebar) for awhile since I got busy finishing up school and such, but I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately. First I thought, “I’ll change it to a photo of the week feature,” then I thought, “I’ll just get rid of it altogether,” before finally deciding to make a renewed effort at keeping it up. Folks, I am not a photographer, but I do enjoy pictures. I don’t know if you will enjoy my pictures, but if you don’t then you don’t have to look at them. However, if you click on the title to the picture, it will take you…

saturday morning

May 31, 2008

I got myself out of bed this morning around 8:45 a.m. because the sun was shining on my face and I was hot. I don’t think I would have awoken but for those two things. I love sleeping in, and that’s why I love Saturdays the best. Cleo sleeps with me every night, and not just at the foot of the bed, either. She likes to burrow underneath the covers for awhile, then comes out, only to burrow again awhile later. I like this little pattern we have together.

Checking In

May 29, 2008

My friend Lauren from school called me today and was all, “Are you freaking out about the NCLEX yet? How much have you studied? How are you studying? When do you start work? What is our first week going to be like? Did you realized NCLEX is less than two weeks away?!?” Um, I wasn’t freaking out until I talked to her. OH MY GOSH NCLEX IS LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AWAY. AND I START MY JOB ON MONDAY, MONDAY AS IN FOUR DAYS FROM TODAY. So excuse me while I go hide myself away with some Quakes rice snacks, my dog, and my review book. Hopefully I shall emerge at some point this weekend for some air.
