Another semester done!

My 2nd semester of Nursing school is OFFICIALLY over! yaaaaaaaay....I survived another one! 2 down, 5 to go. I passed with flying colors and am ready to move onto Nursing 102....however, I'm looking forward to the mini 2 week break I get before that. I'll be taking 1 niece and 2 nephews to PA to visit some our family for a few days. It definitely won't be an action packed "vacation" but I'm looking forward to just getting away. BUT, first I have to get better AGAIN! That's right, I'm sick again.... I have some sort of virus, i've had a fever that has hovered between 100.3 and 101.8. Yesterday it was down for a little bit and this morning it seems to be sticking around 98, but I'm not out of the woods yet! So, I'll probably be spending the whole day in bed resting, with these ladies...

They always make me feel better! Apparently I'm a germ factory these days.

So, here's to getting better!

Kourtney & Khloe

I have a secret. I LOVE the Kardshians, they crack me up. Their summer special promises to be just as entertaining as Keeping Up With the Kardashians. I love watching useless television...its the only time I can really forget about school and all its stressors and just relax and laugh! Yay for another fun Sunday night show!

Friday Fun

With College football season quickly approaching, I couldn't help but share...

I am totally a Miller Lite drinker, but will put that aside to sport these fabulous
VT Orange and Maroon
Bud Light cans this football season! Apparently they'll be sold at Kroger this fall!!
Who will you be rooting for this fall??
I'm a Hokie through and through and proud of it!!!

Home, Sweet Home

I have the best parents in the world.

Since I was horribly sick this week and trying to survive a check-off and test at school, my parents offered to take Paylin for a few days so I could rest, study and try to get better. Clearly, I took them up on this. It's hard enough when you're sick and can't get out of bed...but then to worry about my baby being locked in her cage and having to make my way down 3 flights of stairs to take her out every few hours....yikes, especially since I could barely move! I definitely felt a lot better knowing she was hanging out with my parents and running through their back yard all day :) But, since my school week is over (A and all!!!!), I went and picked my little Paylin up this afternoon, and ever since we got home she snuggled right in her spot right next to me on the bed....

I'm so grateful that my amazing parents help me like they do, but I definitely missed my little nugget and I'm glad she's home! I think she knows I haven't been feeling well, she's totally up for a relaxing weekend too!

Being sick agrees with me...

I managed to pull off a 94 on my nursing test today, being sick and all! I don't know how I managed that one, apparently being sick agrees with me. OR it could be the hours of reading that i've been putting in the past few weeks....either way, I'll take it! That's actually the first A i've gotten on one of my nursing tests, they're SUPER hard! Now I deserve a little R&R this weekend :) Happy Thursday!!!

OH...I know I've been slacking on "weight loss wednesday"...I was changing some things up, rejoined the gym and then got sick...so I'm thinking of changing it to "Slim Down Saturday"...either way, it will be back soon!

Giuliana & Bill

I just love their new show on the Style Network. I think they're so cute and so funny! You should check it out, just something light-hearted to laugh and enjoy!

And, this show totally makes me want to live in Chicago! I went to Chicago for work when I was an event planner and I loved it and have always said if I ever moved, I would go there. Granted, I don't plan on moving, but I always thought it would be fun to live in that city!

Sick and Tired

I've been down and out with a bacterial throat infection since early Monday morning...maybe strep, but they weren't positive what the bacteria was without a culture. Between the sweating and the chills, I somehow managed to make it to school this morning to pass my head-to-toe assessment check-off. Now I'm spending the evening in bed with a milk shake (love that it numbs my throat), some ginger-ale and Zac Efron....

Still a teeny bopper at heart! Hopefully I'll be feeling better before my test on Thursday...not the week to get sick!

Another weekend gone...and a giveaway!

So, it's sunday evening and there is not much to say for this weekend! I had 1 roommate move out and a new one move in, though that was pretty unventful...always happy with easy moves :) I really didn't get much school work done, and I really need to get on it! I actually spent the majority of my time watching Legally Blonde and Legally Blonde 2 over and over on ABC Family...I just can't get enough of those movies :) They are so cute and funny....definite faves of mine! Hope your weekend was a little more eventful than mine :)

Hurry on over to oofa luffa le and enter her giveaway that ends tomorrow! It's a good one!!!


Hope you're ready for another week! I will leave you with a picture of my precious puppy who is turning 1 year old this week!!!! My little girl is growing up :)
