Ew...

Ever cough and have snot fly out of your nose? No? Just me? Ok, well, that's the kind of day I'm having. Blah!

I wish I could just get over this nasty cough already! My chest hurts. :(

Loelsh, RN

This came in the mail on Saturday. Looks good on paper! ;-)

Long Week!

First thing Monday morning, I took the nursing boards. I thought for certain I was failing and left feeling very much less than confident. As of Tuesday, however, my nursing license is now active! I am officially a registered nurse!

A friend of mine started working for a health care company that goes around to different companies all over to do health screenings(height/weight/BMI, blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose readings) and she gave me the information. So, after finding out my license is active on Tuesday, I sent out an email. I heard back from them immediately and was able to go in and work a health clinic on Wednesday! How crazy is that?!

It is per diem, as needed. So, not a full time job, but it is something! And, it gets me some experience to put on my resume. I worked again this morning, and am scheduled to work 3 days next week, so far.

I have been working at a major financial institution that has several different large locations around the area therefore requiring my company's services over several different days and weeks. I'm pretty sure that we will be working at one particular location through the end of November. So, hopefully, I will be able to work it several days a week and save up some Christmas money and some good work experience!

Know what I don't like?

When you go into Subway, even if just for 2 minutes, you leave smelling like subway and the smell sticks to you for the rest of the day. It really doesn't smell as good as it tastes!

Crackle!

I bought some of this crackle nail polish I've heard so much about. It is actually really cool! You paint your nails any regular color you want, then you paint the crackle polish over it and it separates and dries like this:



I'll have to buy some orange polish to wear under it for Halloween! :)

:o

Oh, dear 8 pound 6 ounce newborn infant Jesus, they have it in CHOCOLATE!!!

Yummy Treat!

I heart smoothies!

I'm sure you've seen these advertised, and maybe you've tried them. If not, I totally recommend them! Yoplait fruit smoothies. You add a cup of milk with one package and blend them together and make 2 very delicious fruit smoothies!

On top of their deliciousness, you get calcium and a full serving of fruit (and a little vit C, fiber, and protein as well!). They aren't terrible on sugar either, (10 g/serving). I could seriously just drink these things all day long. YUM!

Face Palm!

My iPhone charger often comes up missing. I usually end up finding it attached to my oldest daughter's iPod touch. The following conversation occurred this evening:

Her: Can I borrow your charger?

Me: Uh, no, my phone is charging.

Her: But my battery is about to die.

Me: It's not my fault you lost your charger.

Her: I didn't lose it.

Me: Oh? Then where is it?

Her: I don't know.

*Sigh* At least she asked first this time...

Homecoming Weekend

And Getting ready for the dance tonight:


It's amazing, seeing as she was just born!! :/

Conflicting feelings

I have been having a lot of these lately. I am really not a fan of it. While there are conflicting feelings going on in my head about other things as well, at this very moment I am dealing with this particular set of conflicting feelings: I am very hungry, yet nothing sounds good, and I feel a little nauseous.

I'm not sure what my deal is. I generally like salad. Granted, I need to have dressing on it to enjoy it, but I like it. I usually try to get by with as little dressing as possible. Well, recently, I have just not been able to eat salad. I have tried, on more than one occasion, to get a salad for lunch and end up having to force myself to eat it. I have been getting about half way through before I simply can't stand another bite of it. This makes me very sad. :( Hopefully, this is just a phase that will quickly pass.

Where did Bella go?

Oh.
