I was walking through the frozen food section while at the grocery this weekend, and while I normally don’t buy ice cream, I decided to look through that area just in case something caught me eye. My heart skipped a few beats when I saw this… Edy’s Girl Scouts Thin Mint Cookie ice cream It… Read More Edy’s Girl Scouts Thin Mints Ice Cream
Happy Tuesday, my lovely readers! I found out from my friend Erika over at e-vents that there’s going to be a cool Valentine’s Day card swap! April Foster from April Foster Events is hosting it, and I was quick to sign up. If you’re cool like me and want to sign up, here’s what you… Read More 1st Annual Blogger’s Valentine Card Swap
This Christmas, my MIL + FIL bought as a Wii, complete with a bunch of cool stuff. A few days ago we ordered Mario Kart Wii, and it came in yesterday. It’s so fun and reminds me of elementary school! I’ve never done this before, but if anyone one else out there has the game… Read More Mario Kart Wii… Anyone Interested in Playing?
What’s up with today? Seriously. Not only was there that crazy US Airways crash into the Hudson (thank goodness everyone got off safely), but then one of our “sister hospitals” had an emergency. They lost all power and heat, which in the 12 degree weather isn’t exactly a good thing. To make things worse, this… Read More What’s With Today?
This is another mini-tour on video of the resort. Of course, it’s sandwiched in-between Chris playing his SIL Anna in ping-pong, so you can either fast-forward through that or watch Chris be embarrassed as he loses to a girl 🙂 The video shows part of the outdoors of the resort – beach, pool, and the… Read More More Vacation Videos + a Tour
It feels like forever since I’ve posted on here. Several things have happened in between now and when we left for vacation. I’ll update you as I find the time, I promise! For starters, vacation was amazing. I had so much fun being there with our family. Let me give you a run-down of the… Read More Long Time No See
I realize that this probably isn’t all that exciting to watch unless you’re family, but here’s a video of Chris playing his younger brother Michael in a game of ping pong, with Michael’s wife Anna in there from time to time 🙂 Michael & Anna are both seniors at University of South Carolina. We caught… Read More St. Thomas Videos – Chris vs. Michael
This is a video of me walking with Chris up to the timeshare door. It’s not very exciting, doesn’t show much of the resort, and the quality isn’t that great (it looks much better on my computer, not on the internet), but I’m posting it anyway! Once the other videos are loaded, I’ll share them… Read More St. Thomas Videos – Video #1
Well, we are back in cold, damp, gray, snowy Massachusetts. Man, do I wish I was still in St. Thomas! I plan to give some of the details of our vacation in another post. Let me just say this: it was fantastic, and I had such a great time. While we were there the vacation… Read More Beautiful Caribbean Pictures to Warm Your Winter-Weary Soul 🙂
I’m a bit sun burnt (all of that time on the beach is catching up with me), so I decided to take today to do a bit of laundry and hang out inside the resort. It helps that I can do all of this while looking out on the beautiful turquoise waters of the St.… Read More Heavenly Sugar
Hi Friends! We arrived safely in St. Thomas, and the weather is perfect. Today was spent at the resort’s beach & pool, followed by a quick trip into Charlotte Amalie for some more groceries. We had some of the basics delivered before our arrival, and I’m really glad we did that – it made things… Read More St. Thomas

And another thanks to !legally Blonde for this “beautiful” award! I have been really busy with work these last… Read More Two Awards (awww, thanks!)
My phone is possessed, and has been for the last 2-3 months. It has a touch screen panel, and sometimes I’ll start to scroll through for something, only to have it go berserk and start scrolling through the screens at a mile a minute. I have to shut the phone off, then start all over… Read More My Phone is Possessed
This is what happens when I decide to make myself a snack, then start to check emails. I get so involved in reading stuff online that I completely forget about the poor bagels in the toaster oven, and only remember them when the smell of smoke starts wafting upstairs!
Merry Christmas everyone! I’m really busy right now, so this is a short post. I promise that once things calm down I’ll write some more. Suffice to say that it’s been a crazy few days! And for those of you curious people out there who want to know where Santa is AT THIS VERY MOMENT,… Read More Merry Christmas!

These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind of bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes… Read More Another Award!
It started snowing in our area of Massachusetts around 1:30 on Friday afternoon, and it basically continued for the next 48 hours. It finally slowed up and eventually stopped all together yesterday late afternoon, but the forecast is calling for more snow! I think it’s safe to say that we will be having a White… Read More Snow Photos
Today was our 4 year anniversary! It’s hard to believe that Chris & I were married on this day back in 2004 – time has flown by. We’ve been through many changes over these last 4 years. We’ve moved a total of 4 times (yikes!), I became a nurse, Chris became a professor, we’ve traveled… Read More Happy Anniversary 🙂
Well, the good news is that I made it through hearing all of the assignments without bursting into tears. The not-so-good news? I was assigned to an acute inpatient women’s psychiatric floor. Psych nursing is not my favorite type of nursing, and I much prefer male patients to female patients. So, to be assigned to… Read More Assignment.
You may remember me talking about how I’m in this 3 month rotation program for newly graduated RNs. Well, the program is almost over, and we’ll find out about our permanent placement by the end of the day tomorrow. I’m on pins & needles, I’m excited, I’m nervous, I’m worried… basically, I’m just going crazy… Read More Waiting!
