Happy belated birthday to my dad, B! Dad is a family practice doctor in Indiana. I first started working for him when I was 15 years old, and it’s part of the reason I became a nurse.

I have got some seriously cute nieces and nephews. And not only are they cute, but they’re so smart and well-behaved!

I love dry, tongue-in-cheek humor. If it’s witty and slightly sarcastic, then I’m impressed. So it makes sense that one of my all-time favorite Halloween costumes is a bit of a thinker (and kinda requires you to be a Purdue fan): First, put on a Purdue “P” t-shirt Second, paint a black ring around one… Read More My Favorite Halloween Costume

I feel like things are settling down before the next big wind-up. I finished 2 huge certifications/examinations that I needed to study for and pass. And I passed them, thank goodness.

“When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became an adult, I put childish ways behind me” – 1 Corinithians 13:11 Maybe it’s the fact that it’s Fall, but sometimes, it feels like time is just flying by 🙂
One time when I was feeling really stressed, my dad quoted part of that great Eagles song to me – “Take it easy, take it easy, don’t let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy”. Every time I hear that song, it makes me put things in perspective and reminds me to relax.… Read More Don’t Let the Sound of Your Own Wheels Drive You Crazy

Is it sad that I just downloaded a bunch of *NSYNC songs to add to my MP3 player? It’s sad, isn’t it? I think I actually kind of forget they ever existed. I haven’t listened to their music since high school, but I heard one of their songs on the radio this weekend and, well,… Read More *NSYNC
I’ll be the first to say that the NZ tourism videos have some cheesy music.

I don’t typically use this blog as a platform to discuss religion, and I don’t expect everyone to agree with what I choose to believe. However, I’ve been hearing this song lately on the radio. It’s not a new song, but this is a new(er) version of it. I really like it, and whenever I… Read More A Revelation Song

Man, I did not sleep well last night. Just about the time I’d drift off, Chris would start to thrash and flip sides, slapping the mattress and scaring me half to death while sending my heart rate through the roof! He did this several times, till finally at 5:28 this morning I loudly told him… Read More Chocolate, Corn Mazes, Goats, and First Days at Work
I’m a little irritated tonight. Rather than blasting out some long post, I decided to list a few pet peeves. These didn’t all happen this weekend. Actually, this weekend was really fun, but a few happened within in the last 4 hours and really soured my mood. So annoying. Those people who think it’s entertaining… Read More Pet Peeves
