How cool is this?

Was watching Rachel Ray this morning (I LOVE her!) and she had guest Angie Harmon on. They were talking about how Angie Harmon's husband proposed to her and it was this big hoopdiedo. So I had to see if I could find it to see what all the fuss was about.

Guess what?

I found it!

Girls grab ya hankies........guys.....just groan and keep on going.

Have you started your Christmas shopping yet?

Fairy Tale:

One day, long, long ago, there was this woman who surprisingly,

But this was a long time ago.....

and it was just ONE day.

The End

Just a thought # 93

When you need to eat soft food due to recent dental work, even pudding hurts to eat.

Nifty new skill to have....



Laundry is a thankless task. I don't know of anyone who likes doing it or the associated chores of ironing and putting the clothes away. Well thanks to this clip I found, some of the chore has been simplified and will go so much more quickly! Think of all the time and space in your dresser drawers you're gonna save!

And you don't even need to know Japanese to master the skill!

Once you get past the smell you can clean up anything...

At least that's the motto I've lived by since I can remember.

Actually since I've gotten into the medical field where often times it was the smell that held you back from getting the job at hand done. A long time ago, I trained myself to "not smell" so to speak, those things that most people find difficult to smell. I won't go into specifics, but you know what those smells are for yourself.

Well, my motto failed me.

The one absolute truth I've held up to this point is no longer.

I had to go to the cadaver lab.

All I can say is this......

"Where's the nearest exit?"

Priceless...

I decided to take mom out to eat tonight (don't ask me why, I guess I was feeling rather generous) and I was jonesin' for some onion strips from CIP, given that mom had never been there before and her best friend had ("Betty's son has taken her there for lunch" ~~ Insert a pitiful look and a sniffle), we head out for a Cheeseburger in Paradise.

If you've never been there, it's just like any other hamburger joint....pardon me, cheeseburger joint. Exception is, when you step into the restaurant, you've pretty much stepped into the Florida Keys. Good music, great service and excellent food can be found.

As Jimmy Buffett's song of the same name was playing "Cheeseburger in Paradise", mom looks up at me and says...."Hey they got their own theme song! Pretty cool that theme restaurants have that now", I nearly spat out my diet drink at that comment. I hated having to tell her this one bit of information, but through the laughter, I managed...."The song came before the restaurant ma."

Priceless!

Toddler Property Laws...

  1. If I like it, it's mine.
  2. If it's in my hand, it's mine.
  3. If I can take it from you, it's mine.
  4. If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.
  5. If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way.
  6. If I'm doing or building something, all the pieces are mine.
  7. If it looks just like mine, it is mine.
  8. If I saw it first, it's mine.
  9. If you are playing with something and you put it down, it automatically becomes mine.
  10. If it's broken, it's yours.


The of all the classes I am currently taking, the one that I think I've learned the most in is my child development class....the things you learn in class can be very handy when dealing with a toddler!

Just a thought # 322

Smoke detectors serve a specific purpose.

To detect smoke.

Not act as a timer for when you cook.

Way to go!

Although she'll never hear me say this, nor shall I ever see her (I pray) in this lifetime, I'd just like to say "Way to Go!" to this one girl from when I was in PN school.

She was the BIGGEST pain in the ass, hugeeeeeeeeeee drama queen and just all around joke. From day one I knew, something my gut told me I suppose, just knew she wasn't gonna make it. Not for her lack of drama and trying. God knows she was trying. Yanno the person, ya groan on the inside and paste a smile on the outside every time you see them (yeah I know, it's been said that I have that effect on people.......fek off already) but ya don't wanna be rude (even though they are) so you just play nice and pray it'll end soon.

Well, drama being what it was, she didn't make it. She says that it was because of some or another bogus reason. I always figured it was because she really didn't do anything to help herself (she figured everyone owed her because she was who/what she was) and quite frankly the nursing instructors would just cluck and shake their heads when the topic of this girl came up.

I just found out through mutual classmates (being back in school, I've some of the same RN classmates that I had while in PN school) that she managed to somehow get back into the program and she passed, graduated and took her boards and passed!

So, for all her faults, (we're all human) I'm happy for her.

Now I just pray she doesn't kill anyone!

Apples and Wine

Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they sometimes take the apple from the ground that isn't as good, but easy. The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

Now Men...Men are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the shit out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.
