The One Good Thing About Provo

Sunday School

Today was our first time teaching Sunday School. Well it was our first time teaching ever. We have the 12-15 year old boys and girls except there are no girls. We have 10 boys total in class. It was kinda fun. I hope we haven't already corrupted them. Lets hope we don't screw them up permanently.

Do you have any good ideas for next week?

My Perfect Pesto Sauce

I hope you like it as much as I do....

Pesto Sauce

3 cups fresh basil leaves
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts (optional) {I have used pine nuts and almonds in the past and it tasted way better than walnuts)
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese {I buy the shaker thing}
1 cup olive oil
salt and pepper to taste {sea salt and cracked pepper is way better}

DIRECTIONS

1. In a food processor, blend together basil leaves, nuts, garlic, and cheese. Pour in oil slowly while still mixing. Stir in salt and pepper.

I Love This Show!

2 episodes in and I am HOOKED! I have always loved Tori Spelling. I really do think she is awesome. Judge me if you must but I think she rocks and I am addicted to her show.

OUCH!

So there I am laying in bed next to my wonderful and still asleep husband this morning. His alarm went off annoyingly on-time. Steven rolls towards me to attempt a snuggie. I am mid stretch and then all of a sudden....OUCH! I tweaked my neck pretty bad. ALL I DID WAS STRETCH. So now I am attached to a heating pad and I will probably OD on aspirin and Tylenol because I hurt so bad.

Do you have any home remedies I don't know about? HELP please.

Changing Yet Again

I change my blog background all the time (as you have probably already noticed). I love this purple. I bought pretty deep purple flowers for my back yard and fell in love with them, so when I saw this background I had to snag it.

I am attending my first preceptor clinical tomorrow from 6-12 and Saturday from 6-6. I am so excited. Should I bring her a thank you gift or should I do that at my last preceptor with her? Nurses are super slammed and taking on extra patients because of the RN shortage and the economy and then taking on a student is a huge responsibility. I feel like I should do something to show her I appreciate her help and willingness to take me on. Let me know if you have any good ideas. Brit and I were thinking breakfast or lunch one day after I get to know her and what she likes would be nice. I think I want to do something better than food.


I'll let you know how my first shift as an ALMOST RN goes. :)

WISH ME LUCK!

An Unquiet Mind-Revisited

I am half way through this book and I find it absolutely fascinating. I love it!

Go to the library and check it out. You won't be sorry.


p.s. my ipod is full....I never thought that would ever happen.

Subtle Rudeness

Has anyone ever been rude to you in a subtle manner? Has anyone said something extremely rude to you in a fake happy tone which left you hurt and confused for hours after the fact?

I have been a victim of this cruelty and I refuse to take it anymore. So this is to all of you that feel the need to belittle for your benefit....YOU NO LONGER EFFECT ME!

Delete me from your phone, email, MSN, and life. I should have deleted you long ago. I don't know why it took me this long to get rid of you. Better late than never right. RIGHT! I feel great knowing my life no longer contains you.

I challenge everyone who reads this blog to apply this to their life. I promise you will feel amazing afterward.

iphone

I have been wanting an iphone since they came out and Steven said if I passed my LPN exam I could get an iphone. Well for mothers day/post LPN exam I got my iphone. He surprised me with it!! I love that wonderful husband of mine.

He is the best at surprises/gifts. He is so awesome. I heart him!

ANTM

Tyra you should have picked Allison. Shame on you.
