I’m tired. I worked till midnight last night, and I’m up early this morning to go in and work a double: 7:30am – midnight. I’m glad that I have tomorrow off, but right now, what I really, really want is to be here… I seriously cannot wait till our vacation – only 22 more days!… Read More Vacation is What You Take When You Can’t Take What You’ve Been Taking Any Longer
Chris knows that I love to get presents (what girl doesn’t?), and he knows that these presents don’t have to be big or expensive – just gestures to let me know that he’s thinking of me. This morning, I get up at the leisurely hour of 9:30 (I’m working evenings tonight, so I don’t go… Read More Thanks, Sweetie 🙂
I grew up in the country. Not so far out that we couldn’t see any other houses, but close – our nearest neighbor was half a mile away. I was literally surrounded by cornfields (or soybeans, or winter wheat, depending on the year and season). My parents didn’t farm, but they owned farm land and… Read More Pictures of Where I Grew Up
I’ve got a lot of things to accomplish this week. Like what? Well, I’m glad you asked… Find and plan recipes for the week – I’ve started to become more proactive in my cooking, as in, I’m actually doing it these days.

I neglected to do the Saturday Summary this weekend, so instead, I’m just going to do a quick little weekend wrap-up (I knew you all would forgive me)… Friday, K, O, and I had an absolute blast at Patriot Place. There was wine, there was sangria, there was shopping! We ate at a cute little… Read More Weekend Wrap-Up
I’ve started to go through some of our stuff in anticipation of the move. I don’t want to take anything that we aren’t going to need/use within the next year, or that we won’t be bringing to New Zealand in 2010, or that doesn’t have strong sentimental value. I’ve gotten rid of a bunch of… Read More Photo: My Cookbooks

I’m sending out some “get well soon” wishes for my older brother, D. He’d been feeling ill for a few days and finally went to the local ER, where they ran some tests. Ultimately, they decided to keep him for 48 – 72 hours, depending on his progress and when he stabilizes. His wife, B,… Read More Get Well Wishes for my Older Brother

Happy Mother’s Day to my MIL, J, and to my mom, M 🙂 I was going to write this in advance and have photos, but I totally forgot. I was so tired after work yesterday, and I’m back at work today so I don’t have access to my files. As Mother’s Day drew near, Chris… Read More My Thoughts on When/If I’ll be a Mother

My mom emailed me this video clip today… you’ll have to see for yourself to appreciate it! Just watch the 2nd kid, OK? I love how the guy says “I’ve been a pastor for 25 years, and that’s a first” 🙂
Why is it that some mornings I run around like a crazy person, trying to get everything done before rushing out the door, and other mornings I seem to have all the time in the world? Take this morning, for instance – I woke up 10 minutes late, but still had time to shower, do… Read More Some Mornings
Happy Nurses Week, everyone! In honor of this week, I’d like to share some of the nursing cartoons that I’ve picked up here and there. You may not think that they’re all that funny unless you’re in healthcare, but I knew that you wouldn’t deny me a little corny nurse humor 😉 Enjoy! Happy Nurses’… Read More Some Humor in Honor of Nurses’ Week
So apparently Fiji isn’t the best place to visit right now (thanks to a commenter for pointing this out!). Maybe by the time we get there in 2010, things will have calmed down. If not, there’s plenty of lovely other places to see, and that’s not even including all of the beautiful sites in New… Read More So Maybe Not Fiji…
I have just learned today that Fiji is only a 3 hour flight from Auckland, and that flights are relatively economical 🙂 I’m sensing a nice little vacation once we move to New Zealand…
I’ve notified my nurse manager of my last day of work – Saturday, July 25th! Originally, it was looking like my last day of work would be the end of June, but we were able to get an extension on our lease. The problem with the original lease end date was that none of my… Read More Decided on a Moving Date
