    Oh Livejournal, How I neglect thee
    Soooooooo I just spent approximately 7 hours doing 16 pages of clinical paperwork due tomorrow at 4pm. I am up and my brain is tired, so I figured--what the hell, I should update my LJ. So much has been going on since Winter Break. I have been working on lots of wedding stuff...we booked a church and a reception place. We do have a minor technicality of finding a priest but minus that all's good. School has been relatively insane as normal. I love my clinical on Wednesday, severely dislike my clinical on Thursday. I think I'm used to a lack of social-life, so the whole homework thing doesn't even really get to me anymore.

    Overall, I am just trying to make the best out of the next 12 weeks left of college & then get ready to move on with my life. In a way I am scared to graduate because I know I will have to meet new people, start a new job, move into a new house, get a new last name...don't get me wrong, change is fabulous but it doesn't mean that I won't miss a few things such as my "Regis Girls," my "Nursing girls," and the families I have been babysitting for over 3 1/2 years now. We'll see what life unfolds for me in these last weeks of my undergraduate career (yes, I said undergraduate). Though I hate to admit it, I'd like to go to grad school in 2-3 years to get my master's in public health. We'll see though, I guess it depends on my responsibilities.

    Soooooo if this entry doesn't make sense I'm sorry. It's late, I'm tired, end of story. Until next time, my neglect LJ...

    It's Been Quite A While
    Dear Livejournal,

    Sorry for being so neglectful about writing in you.

    Here goes the life update:

    1. Tom & I finally got engaged! Yay! He proposed to me at LaSalette Shrine on November 30th. We are planning for a September 2009 wedding, and I couldn't be more pleased. I am so blessed to have such an amazing guy in my life :O). The rents are paying for the wedding & we have a house lined up to rent.

    2. Classes are going pretty well. I got a 99 on my Pediatric Nursing Care Study, which essentially made my life and improved my grade significantly. I also received two great clinical review (for hospital & school nursing). Too bad I don't want to be a pediatric nurse.

    3. I lost about 48 lbs thus far. A little less than 4 lbs to go (yay!) Though I must admit I was not a good Weight Watcher tonight because my friend cooked us a wonderful dinner.

    4. Only 10 days until I get to go home for Winter Break. NCLEX review in January, but other than that a GREAT BREAK! (And lots of time to plan for the wedding and shop for furniture)

    I am most definately anticipating Christmas this year. I am definately in the holiday spirit, which is great. Hopefully, final exams go well and the break will be enjoyable.

    Update Awaits!
    So, this has probably been the most ridiculously busy winter break ever, which is a little sad since it is my last one :O( before the real world hits! Between the holidays, getting ready for next semester, working, wedding planning, and working on the house things have been a little crazy. Here goes...

    The Holidays
    Christmas was delightful. I got to see a lot of family and friends and got some pretty cool gifts. The favorite gifts definately had to include a new winter coat, a set of stainless steel cooking pans, and contact lenses (getting fitted for them on Friday!!!). New Years' Eve I worked 10-6 and then was tired and Tom & I fell asleep on the couch around 10pm, woke up at 11:30pm, watched the Dick Clark TV thing and the ball drop, and went to bed.

    Working
    All of the kids at the Boys & Girls club are on holiday break which= I have been working full time for a week and a half. It was definately cool to catch up with my co-workers who I hadn't seen since summertime. I must admit, I am looking forward to the end of tomorrow because then it goes back to working part-time and I can rest a little.
    I also snagged a job babysitting for the mayor of a nearby town's grandson on Saturday! I am kind of excited to be babysitting for such "high class" clients, hehe!

    Academics
    I start my NCLEX (nursing test) review course on Thursday. I am excited because I am hoping it helps me prepared, though it is kind of depressing to learn over break. I hope the course is worth the trips back and fourth the Regis 5X and the $335. I must start reviewing math and meds for the BIG math test the first week back to school starting next week when I am working part-time again. I have yet to write out a resume or send out job applications. I really need to get on that ASAP.

    The Wedding
    Planning has been slow due to the holiday hub-bub. My goal tomorrow is to call the church and arrange to meet with the priest and find out what I need to do in order to set an official wedding date. I also started working on the guest list, which is basically a pretty big task. My goal is to complete both setting the wedding date and getting an approximate guest list count by the end of winter break, so over spring break I can look into reception sites. Also, I have decided to wear my mom's wedding dress which will be re-vamped and made a little more modern, so that should be fun.

    The House
    What a project! God Bless my grandparents and my dad for working so hard at getting things done!!! Today ended the major construction. Tom, my dad, and I laid the Pergo floor in the kitchen and it looks great! The appliances should be coming this week!!! My kitchen and pantry are yellow, the living room is green, the stairway hall is white with a new banister. I must say I ABSOLUTELY ADORE our little house. It will still be quite a while before we move in, but it is definately nice to see some progress.
    Oh and Tommy & I bought a lot of great new toys with Christmas money! We bought an awesome waffle maker (that is one of the kinds like those at Regis), and water cooler (like the types you find in offices), a George Foreman Grill, and a Crock Pot!!! Yay!

    Well, I will hopefully update this soon, but I make no promises. I hope everyone had a great holiday!!!

    Apparently Co-Ed means Dress Like A Whore
    So, I was walking in from a nice dinner out with the girls and almost died with what I saw. Every freshman girl I saw was literally dressed like a whore for Halloween! I don't mean dressed in skimpy outfits like sexy nurses or naughty teachers...I mean they literally dressed in lingerie, booty shorts, and fish net stocking. I want to go to the party dressed like the Virgin Mary, at least I would look different.

    This indecent exposure would not have happened at an all women's college. These are the parts of Regis that are being lost...the dignity of women, respect for our bodies, confidence in ourselves. So girls, show the men your tah-tahs and ba-dunk-a-dunks, that's what they want anyways. Don't have any self respect. You're not good enough anyways.

    These girls literally make me sick!

    I suck at posting entries
    Since I haven't posted in forever, here is a summer-long update.

    1.Laura's wedding was so much fun and she looked beautiful and I love her.
    2. South Carolina was a blast and made me feel like a "grown up."
    3. Tommy bought me a beautiful tennis bracelet on our vacation <3
    4. I have lost a total of 22 lbs in 9 weeks doing weight watchers.
    5. Tommy also bought me a new bike and I love it! We ride on the bike path quite often which is both good bonding time and good exercise!
    6. The kids at work are starting to drive me up a freakin' wall. Thank goodness only 4 more days of me working.
    7. I have mixed feelings about school. I cannot wait to see all my Regis girls but I am going to miss home and I am absolutely dreading moving day. Once I am actually all moved in, I can't wait to be back and visit and just have a GREAT SENIOR YEAR!!!
    8. I have only been to the library once this entire summer, which is extremely sad.
    9. I need to get my butt in gear and work on the NCLEX practice book ASAP and practice math in the next week, so I don't fail!
    10. I am going to Canobie Lake Park on Wednesday!
    11. Friday we are having an end of the year staff par-tay, which should be very fun!

    So that is a very vague description of summer. I will try to be better about posting more current things in the future.

    Migraine and Weird Lizard Dream
    So I had the 3rd migraine since February last night. I felt miserable. Tom went to the store to get me medicine but by the time he got back I was laying on the bathroom floor near the toilet because I had to throw up. He drove me home in my car and it made me feel sicker. I got home and threw up multiple times, laid in bed, and went to sleep. Migraines suck. Must talk to the Dr. about them when I go in July.

    On a totally different note. I had the most messed up dream last night. It involved going to an ecotarium like place but it kept going deeper and deeper down into like a basement type thing. Anyways there were lots of cool animals...until there was this little bastard of a lizard. Everyone was letting it jump on them in the dream. At first I thought he was cute but then he went in my hand and bit me so i squeezed him and he would get off of me and twisted his tail around my finger like suffocating it. I tried to flick him off but it didn't work. Finally they got the little jerkhead lizard off of my finger. The people at my "dream ecotarium" were pissed I flicked him off and I was pissed he kept biting me. So ya. That was my night.

    Graduation & Coughing
    Tom's brother Steven graduated from High School on Sunday. I got to wear my new dress and shoes and that made me happy. No fears...this dress can be seen by those going to Laura's wedding in July!

    Graduation party was very fun because we played this game called Encore! You have to roll the dice and land on a space and there are cards with words or phrases on it. You then have to sing at least 8 words of the song containing that word/phrase and are timed 30 seconds and teams go back and fourth.
    Here is an example: Say the word is "one"...team A would pick a song such as Wizard of Oz "One day I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are..." then Team B would have to think of another song such a Shania Twain "You're still the one I run to the one that I belong to," etc. Needless to say Steven & I won! Yes!

    Yesterday I planted flowers in these planters outside. Oh it was so fun because I love planting flowers and they look beautiful and they made me happy! On a sad note, my allergies to pollen acted up at 3:30 am which pissed me off a little but I got over it.

    So yay. I am going to work out a little then water my flowers. Yipee!

    Lately
    In the past month I have lost 11.8 lbs go me! Today I went to the mall with Maria and got a very nice dress for the wedding in south carolina. I also got accessories and toiletries. I leave for South Carolina Thursday morning and cannot wait because I need a break from children. I really want shrimp for dinner, I am so making it.

    Weight Watchers
    I lost 4lbs this week, yay! I was very happy with my 1st week results from weight watchers. I am not expecting to lose as much this week because I know you lose the most on the 1st week, but I am shooting for at least 1 more lb this week.

    I am dreading going to the Dr.'s on Wednesday for my yearly physical. I pretty much hate going to the Dr.'s in general. Oh well, at least my Dr. is nice.

    Spent yesterday with one of my co-workers who I am now starting to hang out with outside of work. She's really nice. It feels good to have a friend around home because most of my friends are at Regis, and the other friends I have at home I rarely see.

    I saw "Knocked Up" at the movies on Friday, I pretty much died of laughter. Highly recommended!

    The Last Couple of Days
    Went to a funeral yesterday...I didn't really know my dad's uncle that well and he was old so it wasn't as sad as your typical funeral except for the fact that my pepere cried and i didn't like to see him cry, but it was his brother he lost. We arrived at the funeral home at 9am and all the stuff wasn't over 'til almost 3pm and then I went to straight to work 'til 6pm. I was a little wiped out.

    Today I changed Brock's water for the first time and it was slightly traumatic for him. He kinda swam and gave me a look like "lady give me the big tank back" but he is currently swimming happily in his nice clean water.

    I baked some blonde brownies with chocolate chips this morning for Tommy because I made some Saturday and he loved them and asked me to make more! Yay for me not failing at baking!

    Graduation stuff this weekend b/c Tom's brother is graduating from High School. I don't have anything to wear, so we are going to have to work on that!

    Oh and our driveway is being made bigger and more paved today...craziness this week.
