I am now a phoenix like the little commercial says. I have been saying for years, that I wanted to get my bachelors degree. I am enrolled, classes set, loans set, and more debt here I come.<br /><br />So they say I should be done in about a 1.5 years. We'll see. I hope the time goes by quickly. So every 5 weeks, I will be chained to my computer even more, and have a new class.<br /><br />I am secretly excited, but nervous too.Idahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08278104791744396833noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24101404627646921.post-16072577522893500632010-01-14T11:34:00.001-08:002010-01-14T11:38:32.828-08:00Thankful Thursday<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cafripEZqJ0/S09x1HiQAcI/AAAAAAAABO0/7HpJK8V2Ckg/s1600-h/Thankful+Jan.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 245px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cafripEZqJ0/S09x1HiQAcI/AAAAAAAABO0/7HpJK8V2Ckg/s400/Thankful+Jan.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426681233374446018" border="0" /></a><br />Thanks Tiburon for the banner I stole.

I am searching the Internet high and low looking for the best price.<br /><br />I am so excited to get new flooring. Who knew when I got older I would be excited about flooring?

But it's 10 years married to thee best guy in the world. I am a happy chick. Maybe can slip away and go to a movie or something.<br /><br />The 3 parties I have this week. Another cash for gold one. Yes it's the gift that keeps on giving with the commission I will make. Another is the ICU department party, and finally the ER party on Saturday. Man I need a sitter in the worse way.<br /><br />I have to ship, and bake some time this week.<br /><br />I have a few more gifts to wrap.<br /><br />I need to buy my honey something for our Anniversary.<br /><br />oh and I work the next 3 days in a row.<br /><br />Thankfully school has ended, and I don't go back till the 7th of January.Idahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08278104791744396833noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24101404627646921.post-24491273798534663322009-12-13T15:18:00.000-08:002009-12-13T15:27:00.189-08:00Cash for Gold!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.lifesip.com/images/money-4a.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 450px; height: 450px;" src="http://www.lifesip.com/images/money-4a.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>This past Friday I had a cash for gold party. I am sure you have seen on TV all those ad's. Send us your gold we'll send you money. I was hesitant till a friend had a party in her home. She made BANK!<br /><br />They come to your house with a stack of cash and a gold tester, scale etc. Then the man whips out a large stack of cash. First thing in my mind, was whoa look at all that money. I have a couple guns in the house we could jump him/rob him. Then I came to my senses and came back to reality.<br /><br />I invited some friends they brought their gold as well. I made out the best with over $800 in sold gold. Plus for hosting a party you make 10% of total sales. So I made well over $1000.00 that night.<br /><br />The least amount of money paid was $70.00. It was a win win for everyone. We had appetizers, drinks, and good friends.<br /><br /><br />If they happen to stroll through your neighborhood, and you have something old to sell. I highly suggest it.<br /><br />Merry Christmas to me! Since I paid cash for gifts this year. That money is mine. It's going to the I need new wood floors fund!Idahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08278104791744396833noreply@blogger.com24tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24101404627646921.post-12652991958430171872009-12-13T15:12:00.000-08:002009-12-13T15:17:57.588-08:00Against the Grain.This year was the annual Hospital Party.

Those little nibblers work wonders for 2 boys who get bored shopping.<br /><br />Making the same food over and over again. I really shold try new recipes but I know what works, and what I won't burn so I make it over and over.<br /><br />Eating chocolate almost everyday. (<span style="font-size:78%;">And I wonder why I don't loose any weight</span>)<br /><br />Using the dish washer when I don't have a full load.<br /><br />Also throwing all the clothes in to the washer and not seperating them.<br /><br />Rather than trying to find the little socks my house eats, I just bought some new ones for Richie.<br /><br />Listening to really bad rap music full blast when the kids aren't in the car.<br /><br />Laughing a little too much at the Movie " The Sweetest Thing" reminds me of "The Hangover" but in girl version. And of course not any of those <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">nice</span> pictures in the credits.<br /><br />And of course can't wait till the movie comes out on Tuesday. Going to buy it in blue ray for all it's glory.<br /><br />Still liking Milli Vanilli. Girl you know it's true! C'mon I know you thought it was a good song too.<br /><br />Anyways that's about for now. Have a great weekend!!!Idahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08278104791744396833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24101404627646921.post-76371934810971161802009-12-06T14:22:00.000-08:002009-12-06T14:40:25.556-08:00Random Thoughts.Things on my mind lately.<br /><br />The mountain of laundry I have to do. And my missing a cleaning lady.<br /><br />Socks, why does my house eat socks of little people?<br /><br />My sort of Charlie Brown tree everyday the ornaments are rearranged in new ways, thanks to the kids.<br /><br />My lack of any creativity when it comes to dressing up said dress.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.forever21.com/images/large/65805361-01.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 328px; height: 400px;" src="http://www.forever21.com/images/large/65805361-01.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I want a new coat, I may have bought one at forever 21.

I am 30 this year, but refuse to shop for "mom"jeans.<br /><br />My husband calling 5 times while he is suppose to be shopping for my gifts.<br /><br />My anniversary coming up on the 20th. 10 years baby!<br /><br />Me thinking I should be running but always having an excuse not to run.<br /><br />My love of the movie Wedding Singer. Add 50 First Dates to that too.<br /><br />I finally saw New Moon. I liked it, and was sort of blahed by it. I did however feel like a pedophile watching it that Jacob was smoking.<br /><br />I probably thought he was too cute for my own good. My friend called me a MILF. ha ha!<br /><br />The 3 Christmas parties I have coming up.<br /><br />One semi formal the other jeans, and cute tops parties.<br /><br />Still not knowing if I am working the Holidays. I wish my schedule was out already.Idahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08278104791744396833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24101404627646921.post-54176222778685013692009-12-06T14:17:00.001-08:002009-12-06T14:17:30.938-08:00Family Photo<div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rrig/4138292597/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2641/4138292597_7f65c06c02_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rrig/4138292597/">mom2</a><br />Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/rrig/">MissIda</a></span></div>Here is a picture of me and my mom.

I also managed to snap some pictures with my handy dandy tripod, and whamo a Christmas card.<br /><br />I managed to get a few shots, did a small collage, and my card is done. :)Idahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08278104791744396833noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24101404627646921.post-68417501445078900552009-11-13T20:28:00.000-08:002009-11-13T20:34:26.938-08:00Precious<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://media.npr.org/assets/artslife/books/2009/11/precious-cover_custom.jpg?t=1257535287"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 308px;" src="http://media.npr.org/assets/artslife/books/2009/11/precious-cover_custom.jpg?t=1257535287" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />So I read a book cover to cover in one day. I have to tell you I don't know why I wanted to read this particular book. But I did. The book is not for the faint of heart. It's full of grammatical errors told by the perspective of a 16 year old girl.<br /><br />It's a movie now in limited theaters. Maybe I will see it maybe I won't. I wanted to throw up in a few paragraphs. It's a hard read. Anyways here is a link to the book, and an excerpt.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=120176695&ps=cprs">Precious</a>Idahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08278104791744396833noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24101404627646921.post-52960399172807864332009-11-05T14:04:00.001-08:002009-11-05T14:08:40.305-08:00Thankful Thursday.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_G0wiHJ7WHzY/SRMBIXtkDcI/AAAAAAAAEmg/hGsJ7A3cq7s/s400/thankful3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_G0wiHJ7WHzY/SRMBIXtkDcI/AAAAAAAAEmg/hGsJ7A3cq7s/s400/thankful3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Stole the banner from <a href="www.utahtib.blogspot.com">Tiburon</a>.<br /><br />I am thankful that I have my health. I have felt pretty crummy for the past few weeks but now I am feeling up to par. Good enough to start running again on the treadmill.<br /><br />I am thankful for a job. Almost everyday I hear of someone losing a job or the unemployment rate is out of control.<br /><br />For priceline, and the wicked good deal I got. $50.00 a night for a 3 1/2 star hotel. Can't beat it.<br /><br />For coupons. They feed my shopping addiction. I have gotten some nifty things lately thanks to coupons.<br /><br />What are you thankful for?
