Going to start travel nursing in Jan. Hoping for my first stop to be North Cali. Great weather there in Jan. It's too cold anywhere else. I'd love to think I'd be able to tough out NY, but let's be real people. I've lived in TX all my life. NYC and Baltimore after that. I'm so excited it's not funny. I've had this need to move for so long I'm glad ( Read more... )

Losing a friend who is close to you is never easy. It would be so much easier if we had and argument and didn't talk. Instead Mike's current girlfriend has told him that "I may contact him. However he is not allowed to contact me." What a load of crap. Get over yourself and tell your boyfriend flat out, "I feel threated by your relationship with ( Read more... )

I'm not quite sure whether I'm more upset at my mom or if I'm more disappointed in her. I've had a rather un-restful sleep trying to mull it over my head. I wish sleep wasn't the first thing to go when I'm struggling with something. Is it because my mom is unable to forgive someone? I don't think that certain things can be let go I suppose. There's ( Read more... )

Talked with Road Runner and they were really nice and helpful. My bill is now back to 37 a month and I'm really happy. The guy was surprisingly nice. I hope I didn't come off as bitchy.. They have this thing where they'll call you back because of the wait time. It was really neat. I was working in the back yard when they called. It's so perfect ( Read more... )

Age 3: She looks at herself and sees a Queen.

Age 8: She looks at herself and sees Cinderella.

Age 15: She looks at herself and sees an Ugly Sister (Mom! I can't go to school looking like this!)

Age 20: She looks at herself and sees "too fat/too think, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly"- but decides she's going out anyway.

Age 30: She looks at ( Read more... )

I love the last point this article points to. "In England, Moore interviews Old Labour warhorse Tony Benn, who points to the creation of the National Health Service in England's poorest modern days, immediately after World War II. Benn puts it even more simply: "If we can find ( Read more... )

So I'm at home sick which gives me a wonderful opportunity to catch up on things that have needed to be done. I've got laundry in the wash, cleaned the condo a bit and went to the grocery store. Only went to the grocery store because I had to pick up some medications. I''m catching up on e-mails have I've been meaning to write.  I've had to call ( Read more... )

Had fun at Trudy's last night with Erin, Amy and Nick. Erin had some really bad crab enchiladas. I really think the crab was bad..

Off today! Woohoo! The next three days are going to be challenging. I'll make it though. I think. Lots of working.

Need to save more. Need to probably buy new car at the end of this year. *sigh*

There are some people you encounter at work that piss you off. I try not to let them. Sometimes I am just so frustrated I want to scream. You have to make everyone feel important. You need to attend to their needs first. If you're going to refuse medical treatment, don't come to the hospital. Stupid people should not waste my time. Can I slap the ( Read more... )

It is complete! Days of toiling have finally paid off. The backyard looks great. Okay, so really it's the flower bed that looks great because right now the grass is dead and brown. I can see little patches of green where the bermuda seed has taken hold. Those patches just look so cute! I'll be posting pictures as soon as I remember to to get my ( Read more... )
