Hoping my brain can recall information from high school.....

I scheduled my GRE for August 3rd. Yesterday I went to books a million and puchased a prep book for the GRE. It is amazing the information you forget over the years. Because the test is a couple of weeks away my days off will be filled with studying, studying and oh, did I mention I need to study.

I love my new job. It is very fulfilling. I love the patients and the staff. But, I physically will not be able to pull this off for the rest of my life. My back is killing me, I can barely get out of the bed in the mornings.

My dream is to teach RN's at Northwest. I briefly taught LPN's until the government cancelled the program. :( I have to take a full load of classes this semester and then 2 classess the next semester. Hopefully I will be able to start the RN to MSN program in the summer. (fingers and toes crossed)

very excited....

This morning I had an appointment at a Rococo Salon here in Desoto County. My step-son's girlfriend has been there and gave it rave reviews. I made an appointment for a hair cut/style and a color consultation. Apparantly they strive to keep up to date on the new techniques of coloring. I did learn one thing about coloring. If you make your base color dark, then you cannot change your base color lighter. The way to get it lighter is to strip the base color off and start over. I did not know this. I have been dying my hair since I was about 24, I started graying at that time. Anyhoo, I'm gonna go back in a week or so to have my hair professionally done. I was so pleased with my hair today. Very, very pleased with Bobbie at Rococo Salon, job well done.

I then met my husband for lunch at Olive Garden. We had a very nice lunch. We pretended he was with a new woman (due to my hair). We had a large time. Then I went to start my hunt for perfect bedroom decor. I had a great great day.

Drop dead diva.......

I realize yall probably think this is a post about my fabulous self, but this is a tv show review. ~smile~ Lifetime premiered drop dead diva on Sunday night. The premise is that a shallow very thin model that is killed in a car crash. After her demise she enters the place of which will decide if she is to go to heaven or hell based on her good or bad deeds. She is so shallow she has not been bad or good, she just focused on herself. She is then sent back to earth, but in the body of a size 16 lawyer with low self esteem.

The storyline is very cute. I think the actors are very talented. This country is obsessed with outer beauty and "size 2" bodies. Hopefully, this tv show will inspire non size 2 girls to be thier true selves.

Two thumbs up.

Dreams......

Dreaming is what keeps us alive. I feel alot has been taken from me but noone can take away my dreams. I want to go to new york so bad, in fact, I wanted to go to new york and supermodel. My friends and I are heading to New York to see Aerosmith, Guys and Dolls and shopping. Kenny Chesney might be there as well, what can I say he heard we were going and wanted to see us. ~smile~

Finally a turnaround.....

Yesterday was a wonderful day (except for the loss of my best friend's dad). My previous boss Margaret called me and asked if I wanted to come back to work there. My response was "more than anything". She will work with me while I go to back to school. Finally, something is going my way. I am SURE things in every aspect of my life will be looking up in the next few weeks.

Heat......

I absolutely hate the heat. The funny thing is that I have lived in the deep south my whole life. Mississippi to be exact. My birthday is July 3rd. I am literally a firecracker baby. I cannot stand to be hot. I become very ill when I am hot. Now, that being said, if I was sitting on a deck at the lake it would be a different story. I absolutely love the lake. I love to be on a boat with a cold drink and looking at the water. Oh, well I can always dream.

Just crappy......

The year 2009 has basically been crappy for me all the way around. Losing my job in December and then one disappointment after another. I am trying to think of good things that have happened this year. 1. The ac/dc concert 2. the trip to St Louis. I think this year can compare the the year 2004 which totally sucked in every area.
