She lives in a fairytail

These past couple of months have been a blur. I finished Pediatrics with a solid C almost a B. I have 2 more weeks left in Psych with a solid B that I am very proud of and then I move onto maternal newborn. I have to say 100% that pediatrics and Psych are not my number one choice to pursue a career in for nursing. Pediatrics is just...I dunno. Maybe it was the professor and the way she taught the material, but I just did not care for it. It also did not help that the hospital I worked in had every single child hooked up to a ventilator and a feeding tube. Depressing much?

Psych has really good learning material but....honestly....when I have to go talk to patients and interact I am really afraid for myself. I do not feel safe. Especially around those that are unstable. Being on a unit with people that are depressed and ODing on medications and hearing voices is not where I want to spend my time. But sit me in a desk and teach me about it all day long!

Maternal/Newborn should be fun because I get to work in Post-Partum and the Nursery. I am pretty stoked that I am going to be able to play with little newborns and listen to their little hearts and their first breaths *swoon* :)

I am a Med Surg nurse all the way. Throw me in a situation with open surgical incisions, or Trauma. ER is where I really wanna be and only 7 more months until I get there! THANK THE LORD!

I turn 21 in a couple weeks and I am pretty stoked about it. October is a great month because my B-day is closely followed by Halloween which is pretty nice considering my favorite holiday ever is Halloween. I set up a table on the front lawn and I made a body and covered it with a sheet and chained it down. And on Halloween Ima take the body off the table and Jon is going to be Frankenstein and I will be the Bride of Frankenstein. It looks pretty badass if I say so myself. Especially with my creepy skeleton surgeon on the front porch and my graveyard in the front :)

Also for my b-day I get to go see Paramore! NEXT SATURDAY!!! ^_^ Man I am SOOO stoked! I already know their new cd by heart. It's really good and I can't wait to hear this stuff played loud. I mean sure, it's in the NORVA and it's a sold out show and I am going to be covered in like 50 other peoples sweat and spit but it is going to be completely worth it and I can't wait.

No class for me tommorrow, just cleaning and takin the man to the Eye doctor. Didn't get to take the pups to the dog park this week because of the shit weather. It has been SO freakin cold and rainy :/ Not very good dog park weather. The temps just went into the shitter so quick this year. Bring on some daylight savings time is all I have to say!

One thing that I do like about Fall is House comes back, Grey's comes back, Desperate Housewives is back, AND Nip Tuck is back :) Makes the nights go by faster when I'm not doing paperwork or studying like a madman for a test. DVR is my best friend.

Gosh, I should write more often.

Started school back in August, and I am glad I am getting the hardest part of the semester over first, because this is plum ridiculous. The woman crammed 3 projects, 3 tests, clinical paperwork, and a final all into 5 weeks. The tests cover 12 modules, 4 of which she didn't even teach us. Yeah, you heard me right, she did NOT teach us....well maybe half of a module. But the things she needed to teach us about, I had no clue. It's one thing to know the components of Tetralogy of Fallot (big word, look it up) but to actually know what the components do is another story. If I wanted to take an online course, I would have gone through the Commonwealth Nursing program instead of wasting my time sitting in a classroom with this loon >_<

Jon fell back into his WoW obsession and drug me with him. He power leveled my Preist so that way I could raid with him and the guild, but alas, look at me, Im sitting here and not raiding while he is.....oh well what can I do really right?

I should actually be writing the paper due on wednesday. I skipped band just so I could get started on it....hah....a lot of good that did. I ate dinner and then watched a movie I have probably already seen maybe 4 times...real classy. But gimme a break I guess, I had dinner guests :)

Speaking of dinner. I pretty much always know what I am going to be cooking especially since I have laid out a meal plan. Its really nice actually. But even though I have laid out a plan for meals, it has not been easy on my diet thats for sure. Especially since I am a bangin chef. I really need to get my workout going....I probably say that every blog. But I mean, I don't wanna be a controdictory nurse and be huge preaching to overweight patients about how they should lose weight to control their diabetes, and cholesterol. Because then, it would make me look like a hippocrit no doubt.

ANYWAy, Paramore just came on the player, and I am freakin stoked to go seem them next month for my birthday especially since it sold out last week ^_^ and I get to go!!!! :)

Ugh, 10:19 and I am pooped. I feel like an old lady.....

This photograph is proof

Ya know, sometimes when I watch the dog whisperer, I just sit here in awe. I mean, how in the hell is Ceasar Romano getting the freakin psycho dogs to do is bidding when I cannot even get my dog to hold his piss on the way to the door in the morning. Oh well, Ill learn eventually the secret to dog whispering, I hope.

Training with Rhino is going as good as can be expected especially since I was away from him for a whole week. My rents didn't manage to corupt him as badly as I had thought. Even though I do think that not crating him the whole week we were gone was not the best choice cause now he cannot hold his pee for beans! Silly dog....such a cutie and I love him. I taught him how to play fetch this morning, and when I was trying to teach him sit and stay....he had to super pee I guess and went on the rug. I wasn't too happy to say the least. But, one day at a time.

Im on my last load of laundry and I went to lunch with my honey today, it was nice. I really like seeing him during the day. I just with that things for him at work weren't so meh.....

I handed out more Avon shit today, I think Im going to plan on having a booth at the annual neighborhood yardsale and see how far that it can get me. I mean, it won't hurt right? Maybe I could have like a raffle and raffle off some skin-care items and gain new clients and make some sales :) I really have high hopes huh? lol

Jon's birthday is coming up too, and Im stuck on whether he wants a party or not. He hasnt flat out said yes, and he hasnt flat out said no. So, Im just trying to feel him out and convince him to go all the way through with it, cause I know he would enjoy it and having different faces around for once instead of the same ol same ol. But hey, cake with a couple of peeps is fine by me too, whatever he wants I want. The big 26! And the big 21 for me this year! Can't freakin waittt!!!!! ^_^

Can we say Sore?

I did a workout like.....2 days ago and I am STILL sore from it. I guess I might have hit it a LITTLE too hard after coming back from vacation. I even think it impacted my immune system because I have a sore throat and a stuffed nose now! Today sounds like a Yoga day :)

Feeling a little better about Avon. Turns out that the woman did not order 10 packs of brochures for me, but instead only ordered 10.....I can handle 10 :) I have to go hand out 50 in the neighborhood today. Its not that bad since our neighborhood is so close together and everyone has a mailbox and a long driveway and no one is home during this time in the day. So it's always a quick hit and run, even though last time I handed out brochures, I did not get a response from anyone.....what a bummer :/ but Im just going to keep pushing foreward.

I get to have lunch with my honey today, so that will be nice, a good change of pace I think. The only reason I get to though is due to the fact that I have to go get my CPR cert. today. It only takes 15-20 mins because I already did the test and main shit online, I do need to review that before I head down there. Im sure Ill pass with flying colors, it always changes a little bit every year though and this is a different class than what I took the first time, but I have to get used to it.

I really tackled the lawn yesterday, I still have some stuff I need to finish. I also need to keep Rhino away from my bushes because it just so happens that he loves to eat them. I caught him doing it today though and I gave him a good smack for it, so hopefully he gets the picture. The house breaking is getting better as well. No accidents yesterday (that I found) and no accidents today so far *knock on wood*. I just feel bad sometimes that he doesn't have a friend to play with :(

I ran into Martha yesterday in Walmart. Turns out she is in the same section as me for classes this semester, so at least Ill have someone I know. Im kind of excited about going back, but at the same time I feel SO unprepped. I wish one of the instructors would send an e-mail, or something useful. I hate knowing everything last minute. I still need to go buy books and what not, Im just waiting for my mother to finish her taxes (stupidest rule ever!) But she has been in the dr.'s office on tuesday and wednesday all day and they were trying to figure out what the hell is going on with her. Freakin doctors..... "There is so much wrong I don't know where to start." That deserves a stupid smack. I would dive right in, especially since my Mom is in so much pain, as well as my Dad. I worry about them both all the freakin time.

Man the minutes just keep tickin away. Time to start some laundry.

A fly in my coffee is the LEAST of my worries

Besides the fact that I did find a fly in my coffee, mind you at the bottom of the cup, after I had consumed all the coffee. So, that was my gross out for the day. Maybe I should have snapped a pic.

Gotta love when one of the first things you do with your morning is catch your puppy eating the carpet in your room. That was a pretty pretty suprise this morning. I fixed it and you can't really tell (thank god) but, I need to figure out how to make progress with this mut. I start puppy classes on saturday, so hopefully they can help me straighten him out. He is coming along with the house breaking thing. It kinda set us back some when I left him with my parents for a week due to he was never crated, so, he went from going to the door and whining, to just hiding and peeing. So, thats no good and I have had to start from scratch.

Why is getting a new puppy so bittersweet? I def cannot wait to get all of the potty training done, and to get to the point where we don't have to eagle eye him in the house and we can leave him alone during the day sometimes especially when it is raining so we don't have to feel so guilty about crating him, I mean he gets walked everyday. so thats not it. And he is whining as we speak to be able to go back into the room where the carpet that he destroyed is. What a brat.

I prolly need to get my lazy ass up and take him for a walk, and I need to cut the grass today anyway.

Oh btw, the Avon Woman put me in such a foul mood yesterday that it is unreal.....Im so frustrated with how Avon works, Im thinking I should have just never gotten involved. What a load of shit. I hope Avon enjoyed the $10 they got from me for free basically.....stupid...stupid.....$&*@#$_#&@#*!!!!!!

Tuesday Morning

Well, I have had a very productive morning. Cleaned up the kitchen, made Koolaid and tea, and now Im enjoying my coffee and watching my morning shows :) Man, I sould like an old fart and Im only 20!

Anyway, today I have to go get my TB test for school. And I have to get a copy of my shot record. My mom is going to have the taxes done by friday so that I can fill out my FASFA for school and get my loan approved. Speaking of which.....I need to find my freakin FASFA pin.....it has to be upstairs somewhere in all of my crap. Oh well, Ill just e-mail and get a new one.

I hate the fact that I have to use my parents financial info to determine whether or not I get loans. I mean, I live away from home, in a different city, and they in no way contribute....well, not all the time. If I need money ever, my Mom helps me out, so I guess Im lucky in that sense. I love my parents :)

I get my CPR cert this thursday as well. I completed the class before I left for Texas, so I think I am going to need a refresher. I might go review the videos that came with the class. It would look pretty dumb of me to go down to VCU for this cert and then I hella fail. I gotta be able to save people's lives!

Got lots of new pics that I need to put up in the house. The upstairs is SOOO PLAIN right now! I need to get some things on the walls. But I am pretty picky about wall art and little knick knacks. Not to mention I am a natze about money. But Jon says I need to learn how to let loose a bit. But, I can't help it. I would rather be a pain and have some money than be a super brat and have none.

Speaking of spending money, I got the Sookie Stackhouse books last night. I got them really cheap actually, the cheapest I found online. $33 bucks. Not a bad deal. And it turns out there are 10 books instead of 7, but I got the box set and Jon just said you can buy the last 3 seperate. I love my honey :)

Man this Coffee has done a number on me. Gotta get goin, Rhino needs a bath :)

Texas!

Well, I haven't blogged in a while, so I am going to blog about Texas first and then blog more tommorrow. We went to Corpus for a week for a mini family reunion. I say Mini because it was just the Weitzel clan getting together at a restaurant, eating, and then going to Aunt Woody's house and hangin out and catchin up. But, I got a great tan and I got to see people that I will probably never get to see again. It also gave Jon and I a major point to get our wedding date set. We are content with september, just need to finalize a date so I can get out them save the date cards!!

So anyway, Texas was super hot, and there was zip to do. I was happy that I got to see Ruben, Sylvia, and Rebecca though. I really missed them more than I thought, but while I was there it was like they had never left and I had always been there. That is when you can really tell that you are with family :)

We went to Fiesta Texas in San Antonio (thats where the Garcia's live) and I ended up getting heat sick and almost throwing up when we went on this one ride. It just spun and spun. I had to close my eyes to be able to hold onto my cookies. But I mean can you blame me? I had 3 glasses of wine the night before, zero water that day, and it was like 105 degrees outside with humidity. I almost died. But the waterpark definetly helped, along with some complimentary ice water from the Six Flags Staff :)

So, after all is said and done, we went to Texas, sweated a ton, gained some weight, and flew home with the tons of memories we made inbetween :)
