Keeping my fingers crossed

Well after countless applications and submitting my resume, I had a job interview yesterday. It felt really good and I felt like I did a great job, but you never know. I have thought that before, only to get rejected. So I am keeping my fingers crossed and holding my breath that I get the position.
I am going to be a GREAT nurse, once I can get in somewhere.

Bucket List...

So I was reading an old friend of mine from high school's blog and it gave me an idea...to write a "bucket list". I have an old list from when I was in high school floating around somewhere...most likely packed away in some random box. I remember writing it in a notebook. I know that I have crossed off some of the items on the list, so if I have already done them, they'll have an "X" beside them. Someday...when I find th original list, I'll make changes.
Why to make these lists anyway?
For me, I like lists, it gives me an sense of accomplishment to cross things off. It gives me goals to shoot for. Dreams to follow. So as of today here is my bucket list:

1. Be a mother
2. Travel to Asia
3. Learn to knit
4. Learn to sew
5. Eat Oysters
6. Master a forgien language "x" (even though I have forgotten so much of it now)
7. Buy a brand new car "x" I did this is 2001 when i bought my Ford Escape
8. Get married "x"
9. Plant a garden
10. Volunteer with the Elderly
11. Get a tattoo "X"
12. Write a book
13. Skydive
14. Flash someone
15. Buy an expensive pair of Jeans
16. Find spirituality
17. Save someone's life
18. Learn to golf
19. See a professional tennis match live
20. Get my photo taken with a celebrity
21. Kiss under a waterfall
22. Learn to surf
23. Swim with Dolphins
24. Learn to make sushi
25. Take a photography course

Just Say it

Why can't I just say it...exactly what I am thinking.
I want to just say:

I want to marry you,
Start a family
And live happily ever after.

Or:
You are the highlight of my day...
Everyday
I think you are wonderful,
you make my heart smile.

Baby Envy...

OK I am guilty...I have baby envy, bad.

I think it has really struck a chord now that I am done with school and have time to breathe.

A few weekends ago, we (Joe and I) were at an informal high school reunion with some of Joe's buddies and I couldn't help having baby envy.
It started out as just a mild case at first when I was reaching into our cooler to grab a soda and I felt someone tugging on my shorts. So I picked him up and made friends with a the little boy. I had no idea who he or his mom were, but we hit it off great and he became my little buddy for a while. He was cute as a button and was much funner than they adults that were there. Later on, I couldn't resist asking some other complete stranger there to hold her baby too. I don't know what has come over me. I haven't ever really been a "baby" person in my entire life...but I am turning into one. Its way weird...I think that my "clock" is just ticking!

One of my BFF's from nursing school just found out she's prego, I have 2 cousin's that just had babies...I am surrounded by them and I REALLY want one of my own.

Now...what? Maybe I should try to get a job in the NICU...or will that make it worse?

The shoe...

I often see the "shoe" on the side of the road when I am driving and I wonder how in the heck did it get there?
Why is it always just one shoe? Who lost only one shoe? How did it get there?
These questions about the road shoe's have plagued me for years. Anyone else wonder about the shoe's lying randomly on the side of the road?
I fantasize about why they are really there...like they are clues for the CSI people to find or some one was trying to smash that annoying bug and oops, they threw their shoe out of the window.
OK...so it is weird, but it makes me wonder everytime I see one.
Today I saw a Nike Shox...who would drop/lose/throw a $90 pair of shoes out the window?

A bribe of sorts...

So while I was on vacation in Florida, we had the wonderful opportunity of being right next door to an outlet mall. Knowing full well of all of this before I left I did some research and found out that they had a Coach store in the outlet. I had some money set aside to buy myself a bribe.
I get to have, use and enjoy this purse...when I lose 20 lbs! Oh yeah and the wallet too since it was such a steal at the outlet. I got the purse and the wallet for $85! Now I just have to lose 20 lbs! UGH! But I am down 3 so 17 more to go!
