Online shopping

I love to online shop. I buy almost everything on the Internet. What are some of your favorite places to shop online?

Here are my top 5:
-amazon.com
-zappos.com
-target.com
-urbanoutfitters.com
-rockymountainatv.com

I have sold and bought from amazon.com so much that I am a special customer. They send me promotions and coupon codes. I have been credited money to my account to try things and write reviews. Awesome eh???

So tell me what you love to shop for online. What is your online shopping weakness?

Big Bedroom Dreams

I want this wall color.

With this bed frame.

And these curtains from Ikea which have been sold out for 2 months. (if you see them pick up two packages and I will pay for them and your gas for that trip-NOT EVEN KIDDING). :)


Any suggestions to make it even more fantastic?

I'm 24? When did that happen?

5 years ago today I turned 19. Seventeen days after my 19th birthday I married my best friend. Today I turned 24 and in 17 days I will celebrate my 5th wedding anniversary with my best friend, lover, and corner stone. He is amazing and I wouldn't change a thing. I was SO young but I would do it all over again! All of it.

I was 19 he was 23. We were and still are living our fairy tale. Ask Jake and Toni-we are freaks :]

Here we are doing what we I love most! He would rather be four wheeling but snowboarding is my total happy place. :]

Birthday Wish List

I have a very old Singer sewing machine. It was a great machine to learn on but with all the projects I have been doing it cannot keep up anymore-literally-it does not even feed the fabric through anymore I have to yank pretty hard to get it to to sew properly. So for my birthday I really really really want this: It is a Brother c6000i. It has all the features I need/want. So keep your fingers crossed. I really want this!

New Style Needed

I need a new style. I have had the same style for years and years. I need help! Please help! The only thing I request is that I can either pull my hair back with a clip or up in a top knot (pony tail). If you have any ideas please send them my way. I need all the hair love I can get. I know there are many of you out there with amazing creative thoughts so use them on me! Please, please, please!

NEW JOBS COME WITH NEW PAINS

Emotional pain can be much worse than physical pain and can even create physical pain due to the emotional trauma. No, I am not traumatized by my new job but I do feel less 'fulfilled'. I absolutely love working at WJCC. It is very rewarding and I have learned so much. Maybe I am so attached because it was my first nursing job or maybe I am just impossibly addicted to the innocent love and trust these beautiful people have for me every day that I am there. I was there 5 days a week but due to my new full-time job I cut back to only 2 days. It breaks my heart. I miss my residents when I am away from them. Why did I decide to leave? WJCC is my first job and is not a skilled facility. Being a Registered Nurse I I cannot fulfill the skills that I worked so hard to become at this current facility. Moving up to a skilled facility not only allows me to regain my RN skills but it also generated more $$. I worked really hard to be where I am today and I deserve the compensation for my hard work and dedication to my career. I'm not saying that WJCC isn't compensating well but moving up from a Intermediate facility to a Skilled facility makes a big difference in the financial department.

To make a long story short I really do love my old job and I really and truly ache for them the longer I am away from them. No one can care for them as much as I can (at least that is how I feel).

Have you ever walked away from something you love? Have you ever chose growth over the safety?

Can't Eat Due to the HEAT!

Yes when it is scorching hot outside I can't eat, neither can Mr. Rad. It is too uncomfortable. So what does that mean for us? We can't starve ourselves? Here are a few of my fave Summer foods that are cool and light.

Broccoli Salad

1 1/2 C Fresh Broccoli
3/4 C shredded cheddar cheese
4 bacon strips
1/4 C chopped onion (I like to use my cheese grater so it gets really small and fine)
3 TB Lite Mayo
2 TB white vinegar
1 TB white sugar
1/4 C sunflower seeds (optional)

Combine broccoli, cheese, bacon (crumbled), and onion. In a separate bowel mix mayo, vinegar, and sugar. Pour over salad and mix well. Sprinkle seeds over salad and serve.


Pea Salad

1 1/2 C frozen peas
1/2 C cheddar cheese
2 TB finely chopped onion (I use the cheese grater)
1/4 C mayo
1 1/2 teaspoon mustard (I like to use fancy dijon but you can use any)

Combine all ingrediants, chill and serve.


Cranberry Salsa

Bag of Cranberries

1/3 White onion chopped

1-2 Jalapeno

Cilantro
Sugar to taste

Blend ingredients into a semi mush, chill, serve with chips.

QUILTING

Here is another one of my awesome quilts. I finished it almost a month ago but because of Squid I have been really busy. He is really time consuming. I love him to death and wouldn't change a thing though. He r0cks.
