Really?!?! :(

So there I was at 1:00 am this morning vomiting.



Good morning/afternoon to all!

Isn't that a great way to start out a fabulous and inspiring post?!

Sorry -- too much NCLEX studying + no sleep + being sick & cynical = vulgarity.

So I take my NCLEX TOMORROW at 12:30 pm. The biggest test of my life!! Ever!! If I fail this? I am screwed and my entire college education is a worthless waste. I will probably be thrown on the streets, spit on, and forever shunned if I fail.

Just kidding...if for some God-awful reason I fail - I can always retike it.
....in 45 days after paying $700 MORE dollars that I don't have ;)  (but that won't be happening!)

In all honesty, I was feeling pretty confident.

But my husband & I got some excellent "bonding time" last night.

We got the stomach flu together. How. Effing. Cute.

Yeah, not happy. His flight for California leaves tomorrow morning (for work). So we both need to get better fast.

Or we're screwed.

My deepest apologies for yet another "ranting post". I promised I'd keep these minimal. I promise tomorrow will have a happy, enlightening, exciting post!

But, I had to share our exciting news.

"Luckily" - being sick...I am forced to be confined to the couch with thousands of pillows supporting my aching body & powerade in lap -- so I have no choice to do anything BUT study.

It could be worse. I could've gotten the stomach flu mid-NCLEX test. That would be a real memory...

Well, Have a great Tuesday - my lovely bloggers! If you could...please send "get well" and "good luck" prayers our way! Tomorrow is a big day!

(And I'm sorry if I grossed anyone out. I tend to be a bit crude/blunt about human physiology ect...)

Actually, I think you are handling this whole thing quite well! It is surely not funny and I hope you both get rested up today and get a good night's sleep so you can both have a good day tomorrow! On the bright side, it's good it didn't happen tonight, right? I love the first picture!

Yikes!! I really hope you feel better ASAP! I am sure you've studied all you can possibly study, plus the fact that this has been your life for a few years, so the best thing you can do now is rest and get better!!

Good luck tomorrow! And hope both you guys get better :)

Ugh, I felt sick to my stomach when mom emailed me & said you got the flu. :( You poor things! Getting the flu is the worst - and then getting it the week of the biggest exam of your life? Ugh. How terrible.

I KNOW you will rock this exam, though! BBM right after and let me know how it goes!!

I agree with your mom, you are handling this VERY well! I hope you both woke up this morning, feeling 100% better.

You've been living and breathing everything you need for this test today and I know you're going to rock it!

Will be thinking of and praying for you at 12:30...I'm going to light a candle RIGHT NOW!

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 ...

Ten on Tuesday!

1. If you could travel back in time, would you? What decade would you visit? I would. I think I'd visit the 50's, just for a week - for it'd probably get really old. Sometimes... I just want to wear cute house dresses and aprons. And the only care in the world would be cooking and cleaning and being an all-star housewife. 2. What was your best Halloween costume? (fun to make? most creative?) Probably the clown costumes my Mom sewed when I was young. They were amazing. Also, an occasion in college when all the girls hit the frats dressed up as sexy nurses, naughty cops, and other profanities....I taped purple balloons all over my body and went as a "Bunch of Grapes". Classy. 3. Do you like your name? If you weren't called by your name, what would you want to be called? I would love my name. But everyone seems to think it's cool to name their dogs Abby these days too. I know so many people who are like "Your name is Abby? Oh cool! That'...
