Ten on Thursday

Once again, I am stealing another survey from my sister Lisa's blog!

My week has not been the greatest. School has me wanting to pull every hair out of my head. In fact, it's Thursday and the fact that I'm not bald yet is amazing.

Things are starting to perk up, however. I am pretty much done with this 8 week session. So am on "vacation" until Monday. So am reallly looking forward to destressing by doing so extensive deep cleaning around the house.

SO excited!!

So here we go:

1. What's your favorite late night talk show?
I like Jay Leno now. I used to not, because seriously (as conceited as this may sound)--the shape of his head and appearance kind of annoyed me. I like watching it because it's on at like 9:00 now. So I am actually awake for it! (I got to bed at like...10:00-10:30 often).

However, I love Conan. His weird quirks make me smile.


2. If you got an all expense paid week-long trip for two, where would you go and who would you take?
I would take my husband, Ryan. We would get SCUBA certified prior to our trip to......Whitsunday Island, Australia (White Haven Beach). Absolutely gorgeous beaches with rain forest surrounding.

3. What's your stance on Botox?
It's horribly risky and not worth it. People have died. What's wrong with aging? It's part of the natural process of life. It's our skin--inevitable. I have no problem with dying your hair, staying fit and in shape to look good...but do we really need to inject botulism into our faces to freeze a smile on?? Just 2 cents...

4. I have to read a few classics for my 101 in 1001. Do you have any recommendations?
Unfortunately...not. I have read very few classics in my life. I plan on tackling this when I finish nursing school, and my masters (which I decided last night that I will be doing ASAP after I graduate next September!)

5. Have you ever broken any bones?
Upon my entrance into this world the doctor broke my collar bone. I was a big baby--needless to say. I think this just proves that fact that I was destined to be accident-prone and clumsy.
I've had a few stress fractures of my toes/feet in my days too.

6. What are your top five favorite television shows?
1) America's Next Top Model (I know, pathetic...but I love it)
2) The Today's Show
3) The Biggest Loser
4) Iron Chef
5) Fox News

7. What is something you are embarassed to admit?
I failed a test yesterday. It is the first thing I have ever failed in my entire life. It probably ranked up there with one of the most defeating moments of my life. Then I found out the teacher curved the test, and no one in the class passed the test. So I feel a little better.

8. Best movie line ever?
That is way difficult for me to pull at random out of the air. But my favorite movie moment to this day is probably the big, dramatic Jerry McGuire speech by Tom Cruise and Renee Zel. of "Shut up. Just shut up. You had me at hello. *tear* You had me at Hello!" I'm not letting you get rid of me. You. Complete. Me. *more tears*"

Oh..I cry everytime.

9. Cupcakes, cakes, or brownies?
To be honest. Neither really. But I guess I'll say brownies. I'm not a big fan of *cake* stuff. To be honest--I don't really like desert

10. Can someone PUH-LEASE help me find a dress to wear to a few weddings this winter?
Well..I don't have an answer to this. To be honest--I have the biggest fashion-deficit ever. I am a train-wreck. I would say 75-80% of my wardrobe comes from Target or Express. But ONLY Express because I used to work there--so everyhting is out-dated. If I lived in a cooler climate..I would definitely wear jeans and a cardigan sweater every single day of the week.

Fun - thanks for playing along!

I love those lines from Jerry McGuire, too! Classics.

As soon as you said you failed a test I KNEW it had to have been curved so that you technically didn't fail it!

You're a Biggest Loser fan too? How have we not blog-met yet?? I do Biggest Loser posts every Wednesday. It's a place for all of us Loser-lovers to come and vent and talk about our thoughts and feelings!

One Confused Lady

Yesterday morning was packed with a session of cross training.....rushed home to shower and get professional-looking....headed across town for an interview.....kicked butt at my interview...."bopped" over to our house to see the progress of the build......headed to the "design center" to sign more paperwork.... (Side note: I cannot get over just how much paperwork is involved in building a house. Holy Hannah. And we haven't even closed !!! Iy-yi-yi....Those lovely people in history who got law-suit-happy.....God bless 'em.) Yesterday was a good day! So here's a little humor for your Thursday. A little thought. A little depth.....( A little cynical rant ) Afterwards, I decided to head to one of my favorite places to peruse.... Target. But my experience at Target was far from fun, relaxing, or pleasant. Just confusing. Loud. Crazy. Despite many screaming children-temper tantrums.... Which is common and un-escapable. Although screaming chi...

A weekend of the great outdoors

As I am preparing for my return to the real world tomorrow, I feel a strong sense of dread. As I won't have a weekend or free week for a long while! Instead of focusing on that.......I'm sharing a few snapshots from our awesome weekend! This weekend we were in Big Lake, AZ -- which is about 20 miles from the New Mexico border (just 5 1/2 hours from our house). (last weekend we were in Parker Canyon...which I will blog about another day) We camped from Friday-Monday, which was the perfect length of time. The temperatures were a great escape from hot Tucson. In fact...it was VERY cold at night. It was in the low 30's at night, 60's during the day. The trout fishing was incredible. Here's a few snapshots: Home Sweet Home for the weekend! Look at the giant tree I cut down!!! Wow!! (Okay, this was posed...) But...Ryan did teach me how to use a wood-saw! There were tons of dead/fallen trees lying around. So we cut all our firewood for the weekend! I felt very ...

Winter Storm hits the desert?!

Happy New Years Eve to all. I hope everyone is able to celebrate with family, friends, or loved ones tonight! And -- I hope everyone has a safe evening!! Be careful out there! We are finally experiencing some "weather" here in Tucson. I use "quotation marks"...because this "weather" the Tucsonan's are FLIPPING OUT over is just a "chilly October Day" in North Dakota (where I came from) Yesterday morning...I was getting off work. I could hear the wind blowing, and the rain falling throughout the night. There were moments where...I kind of want to crawl into one of the hospital beds and take a snooze. When 7:30 am rolled around, I was very anxious to go home after 3 nights on. I was ready to BOLT out the door.... ...when I was stopped by an oncoming shift coworker, who stated, "Abby, maybe you should stick around until the weather clears up. It's pretty bad out there...." FEeling concerned, I asked, "Really? Are th...
