Crying

I can't believe myself. Here I am, sitting up at midnight roaming the internet. I am doing nothing worth while. After work I decided to update my myspace and get some things posted for visual appeal. I of course got distracted and my mind got back on this 5 year reunion thing. I started to search myspace and found about 75 people that I graduated with that had a homepage. I was just about in tears looking at web pages from people who are in the military, have 3 kids!, people who are living in CO, NC, Virginia. I just couldn't believe the accomplishments that I saw people made. It was totally awesome to see how everyone was doing. I think it just made my night...

Lawn care....

Just a quick note. I was up in the office doing school work with all the windows open in the house. I could hear these two ladies gabbing about something and they were really being loud. I looked out the front window to find that they are on their hands and knees in my front lawn! What are they doing?! HAHA, they realize that they have been caught!

So we're yelling up two floors about lawn care and what not until I finally gave up and came downstairs to talk face to face. They wanted me to tell my HUSBAND that his lawn looked great and that they wanted pointers. HA! Ok, I'll be sure to tell him Lisa Remini... Seriously, that is who she looked and talked just like.

Where's the help?

Sunday morning and early afternoon, John and I proceeded to start on yard work. He mowed the grass and I did weeding. I love weeding if the weather is nice and I can be listening to music or talking to someone. (anything to keep my mind busy I guess) Anyway, today he had hired some of the football players to come over and edge the flower beds. 3 of them started their own little business and so we decided to hire them. Needless to say, here it is 4:30 on Tuesday evening and they are still not here. If I have to track these boys down at their homes, I will do whatever I have to. Anything to get out of edging!!!

Yeah for Jen and Dave at Powerhour. They had their second daughter this morning at 6:23AM. Bailey Elizabeth. Too exciting!
I also got an 89% on my IV test. I was super excited because after talking with other class mates, I didn't feel too hot after the test. Does this mean I deserve my ring yet John? HAHA, ok, I am really not kidding....

My week in Review

What a week! Here is the lowdown on everything that happened....

Monday: basement flooded. We didn't think it was all that bad until I went downstairs Tuesday to get some more stuff. Boxes were full of water, purses needed to be laid out to dry and everything that was anything was soaked!
Tuesday: MY DAY OFF! I proceeded to clean the basement by moving everything upstairs and to the trash. I then had to bleach the entire floor and shopvac it in order for it to dry faster. We continued then to replace the contents of the basement in a neat, orderly fashion. Needless to say, we have learned from this experience. We purchased many more rubbermaid containers from Longeneckers this night.
Wednesday: Still no test results from school. I am getting very frustrated with waiting to know what I got on my test.
Thursday: The cleaning frenzie continues as I am still unable to keep up with the wash and dishes.
Friday: I ran errands, did a school video tape, and went to work. I left early due to an unruly sickness from my stomach. Not a good night.
Saturday: The night of our double date with Courtney and Drew. Unfortunately, we had to cancel due to my high temperature and stomach virus. Not a happy day as I laid in bed and did absolutely nothing. Fortunately, my parents came over and helped to fold wash and take care of me.... AWWW!

YEH! & UGH!

This past week has been fairly hectic for me. I have taken 2 tests; which I think I did pretty well on; we got a piano, we had an awesome Saturday night with our friends, and I'm super excited for this weekend. (7 martini's and 2 bars later, I can't find my license or lip gloss!)

To start, we were to receive a piano from John's parents on Thursday morning. Well, Wednesday night, we still had no idea where this was going to go, much less did we really have the room for it. I stayed up into the wee hours of Thursday morning organizing, rearranging, and cleaning the house. (All this happened after my 11:00pm run to Walmart for organizational 'stuff.')


The piano looks awesome where it is now and both John and I are excited that we were lucky enough to get it. I can't wait to start playing again. I feel as though everything I previous knew, I forgot. My house is still a reck zone due to furniture that needs to be torn down from moving it out of the living room. We look like rednecks that just keep buying stuff and piling it in their house just to have it. It's horrible!


On the UGH part of my day, it has been raining since Saturday night. I mean pouring at times even! I woke up this morning to get some clothing from the basement only to find this mess....



How upsetting! John just kind of shrugged it off as if it were no big deal. No big deal?! My purses are currently out on the porch drying out. Yes, drying out. They were filled with water and most likely ruined! My barbies, and once again, just 'stuff' is ruined. I am just thankful that none of my scrapbooking things are wet.

My only other concern is that I don't think Matilda will want to walk downstairs to her literbox with the floor being wet. I'm afraid she will go to the bathroom throughout the house, but yet I don't want to move the literbox into the kitchen or anything. I don't know what to do! UGH!

Oh well, I guess if Noah can handle 40 days of rain, I can handle this for a few more days.... or maybe not.

I don't talk while I lift....

So this morning, I woke up to make it to the gym on time for an ab/cardio mix class. I was totally looking forward to it because I had taken it before and loved it. I got to class to find only the instructor and 1 other member there. Hey, that's fine with me, more 1:1 attention. Anyway, here to find out that the instructor decided that she was going to do a 45 minute class on just step. I am horrible at step class. I am not coordinated enough to look at the instructor and do what she is saying. Instead, I look at my feet and end up tripping all over the place. I then decided to leave and just lift on my own.
While lifting, it seemed that every station I went to, an older man followed me and sat on the equipment next to what I was using. He repeated everything that was coming across the radio station.... "Paul N Oates," "52 degrees!,"It's 9:20 already." I never once saw him lift a thing, nor did I want to turn and respond to any of his one-liner comments. It just struck me weird because I didn't know this was his way of trying to initiate conversation, or if there was seriously something wrong.
Regardless, I had a great workout with nice down-time as I tanned. Nothing better!

"I'll Never Let Go..."

Well, the time has come for the good old yellow shirt to make it's first appearance in 2007. (well actually, it's first ever appearance) Today I was to check off on the catheterization of a female, so I wore my shirt. (The shirt was created by Ann, Jacqui, and I in LPN school)
I wore it for laughs and I also wore it because I miss everyone from last year so much, that I had to do something to remember our fun times practicing in the lab. Anyway, yes I got questioned about it, but other students knew exactly what the shirt meant when they read it. After school, I went to the grocery store and was getting lunch meat when the lady behind the counter asked me what my shirt meant. First off, the lady was probably about 40ish and there were older people (couples) standing in line behind me. I kindly wispered that I was a nursing student and the sayings had to do with cathing a patient. She looked at me dumbfoundedly and repeated her question. Again, I didn't want to make a scene, so I repeated myself. She still did not seem to get it, and so I just thanked her for my goods and walked away. As I was walking away, all I could think about was how everyone was probably staring at me as the back of my shirt read....




I'm sure that if you do not know what is meant by the sayings, I can guarantee you that it won't ruin your day.
I miss you Jacqui Rudden! I'll always remember to DSL... HAHAHA!
