The Ramblings of a Strange Little Pixie

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend! I am working tomorrow and then it’s off to my MIL”s for hot dogs, hamburgers, macaroni pie and fireworks!:) I am spending Sunday with my nephews. We let them pick the agenda. It’s the Transformers movie, Chuck E. Cheese and bowling. I will be exhausted come Sunday night!:)

I slept really late today. Like super late, like 11:45!!!! How crazy is that?!? I did get up at 6 and then went back to bed at 9 but still….

So on my to-do list for today…

1. Scrapbook. I am spending at least an hour working on my scrapbook. I am making progress on this year’s book. Yeah!!!
2. I’m devoting 30 min. to cleaning out my computer room closet.  That’s all I want to spend on it today.
3. Working on a menu for the next two weeks. I don’t eat as healthy when I don’t plan meals.
4. The gym. Stairmaster here I come! Of course this is a big maybe…..
5. Take over my rent check. Forgot yesterday!
6. Load up my ipod onto the new computer. It’s not really new but DH finally brought his PC home. It had been at his mom’s forever. I don’t know what I’m going to do with mine. I can’t believe that my PC is freaking 9 years old! 9!
7. A load of uniforms.
8. The rest of the day will be spent relaxing!

• I have been really lazy lately. I need to change that.
• I need to get my get into my workouts. I’m doing yoga this evening. And I so need it. I am super cranky.
• Work as been full of crazies and I think they are rubbing off on me.
• I went to see Beyonce last night. Awesome concert. She was amazing. I didn’t think I would enjoy it that much! We had floor seats and when she came to the second stage we were like 8 ft. away from her! Me and my girlfriend were screaming like teenagers. Shameful for two thirty year old women!
• I’m really sore from shaking my booty from last night. Ugh, I need to workout!
• I have been crazy sick. AGAIN! WTF? I had Thursday and Friday off and woke up with fever of 101.9 and chills on Thursday. I was coughing my head off. I suffered through 8hours on Sat. The census was low so they let me off at 4pm. but I had to work Sunday. I don’t know how I made it! But I’m still hacking up a lung and nothing works.
• I am working every weekend but one in July. Suck!!! But I keep telling myself it is extra money. Which I desperately need….
• I am going out to lunch tomorrow. Realized that I haven’t had enough girl time.

Things that I hope to do this week…..

1. Set up a budget for July. I need to start organizing my money better and start saving more. I think I’m going to switch banks. Anyone had any good or bad experience with Chase?
2. Get out birthday cards for July
3. Clean out my Computer Room Closet. It is overflowing with crap.
4. Find a sari or leghna for up coming wedding.
5. Make a hair appointment
6. Clean out my filing cabinet
7. Upload some new songs onto Ipod
8. Make a to-do list to start preparing for Ramadan! It’s going to be here soon!

So I have a huge to-do list today. I’m not to worried about it all getting done today.

On my reading list…

• Re-reading Twilight and New Moon. I know, but I need my vampire crack….
• Reading Lolita in Tehran
• The Power is within You. Not really into self help books but it was brought up in class and everyone one said it was really good. Still iffy..
• In the footsteps of the Prophet.

My critical care class is finally over! Now it’s back to reality Friday. I wish I didn’t hate my job so much.:/ I really love what I do, it just sucks when you work in a place that tries to suck the soul out of you everyday….

So here is a list of pros and con’s of the class…

Pros.

• Hello, 4 weeks out of work and getting paid!::)
• I had every weekend off and Memorial Day.
• I got paid to learn.
• I actually did learn a lot.
• It was nice to network and find out what other nurses are doing in other hospitals.
• I met people from other floors of my hospital.
• I ran into old classmates
• It wasn’t work….
• It made me realize how much I really want to be in ICU and not on tele.

Cons:

• It was 8 hours of mostly sitting except when in simulation lab. So not use to that!
• I have realized that I find it really hard to concentrate in lectures. My mind wanders way too much.
• It was impossible to get things done with only 2 days off! How do people do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• It sucks doing errands on the weekend.
• I had to drive more because it was a 30 min. drive instead of the usual 20 min. drive to work. Which meant that I put way too many miles on my new car and I went through to much gas.
• Two words. RUSH HOUR…. YUCK! I would go insane if I had to do that every day! People are really crazy and can not drive during the hours of 7-8 and 4-6. WTH???
• I’m just so glad that I am not in school anymore. I was missing the good old days but in reality I’m so glad that’s over with!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some weird searches.

1.  little pixie car. Nope I have a normal sized car.:)
2. bite cone cat. I don’t  know how to keep your cat from biting the cone.
3. strange cats. Well, yes I do have some strange cats
4. fill up my ass. WTF?

So, I’m feeling ultra lazy and I really don’t want to do a damn thing but I must because I need to clean my apartment and do laundry. God Forbid anyone else do anything around here. DH is on my crap list right now for not helping. I am really pissed off at him right now for various reasons and I can’t seem to talk to him without him turning everything in to a one man comedy act so I’m not speaking to him right now. Because it just ends up with me yelling at him for not listening and it how productive is that?  I am so over everyone right now…..

• I’m so over this Critical Care class. I’m learning stuff which is cool but it’s boring and I have to be there 5 days a week. Super suck when you are only use to working 3 days a week.
• I’m super irritated with certain people that you give salams to out in public and they totally ignore you even when you ask how they are doing. So freaking rude, so when you say hello to me in the masjid I will explain why you can ignore me there too.  They not only did this to be but to DH as well. Whatever…
• I am so loving the New Moon trailer. Ok, I am so ready for this movie to be out already!!!!!!!!!!!! How sad is it that I have watched the trailer like,um, 20 times? Vampire crack……
• And Edward looks way yummy in this movie and hello Jacob!!!
• I’m over raining season.
• I’m off to get some scrapbooking in instead of studying because that’s just how I roll…

• I hope everyone took a moment to remember those who have fought for our country. It doesn’t matter if you believe in the cause or not but just remember that someone has lost a son, daughter or husband and that is what matters.
• My leased car that is being turned in was hit. Someone backed up into my car. After I proceeded to honk, I had nowhere to go so now there is a huge dent in the driver’s side fender. GRRRR…But at least it wasn’t my new car
• I love my new car
• I woke up Sunday morning to a drunk guy yelling that he was being abused by the cop who was arresting him. Um, yeah, you hurling your head against someone’s car isn’t police brutality, it’s just STUPIDITY. Enough said.
• Dacnica was third in the 500!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:) Me and DH and a nice dinner at Bru’s room watching the race and had a nice evening snuggling on the couch watching a movie. I love that he has weekends off!!!
• I am slowly getting my living room organized and cleaned. I did my dining room two weeks ago. It feels sooooo much better!
• I made a home notebook. I”m hoping this keeps me motivated.
• We passed joint commission at work, woo-hoo.
• I have my critical care class for the next two weeks. BLAH.
• I’m almost finished with the Devil Wears Prada. I am so thankful my boss isn’t that crazy!!!!!

I made up a simple morning routine to help me get started in the morning:

1. Shower and dress….duh!
2. Read Fajr
3. Yoga
4. Eat breakfast
5. Take Synthroid and vitamin
6. Feed kitties
7. check email and calendar
8. Daily cleaning

Well, I’m off to get some things checked off my to-do list so I can start enjoying my day!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• It totally feels like Sunday to me. Weird.
• I got my very first car today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:) I have had newer cars before but this one is different! I had the Mazda because DH gave it to me when I was is in school and it was only a year old. Then I got the Passat after a year because he wanted the Speed 6. So the lease was up this month and I had to get a new car. I drove 4 other cars but decided on the new Passat. I LOVE IT. I got the color I want and have I mentioned that I love my car:) And I’m paying for this one, hahahha. Maybe I won’t like it after that:/?
• My mom left last night:( I miss her already.
• I am really enjoying this Critical Care Class. I really want to be in ICU. Really, really bad…….one more year…….

• get off the wrong exit which makes you 10 min. late to class
• get to class to have a really bad light come on on your car

• The coke machine steals two dollars from you and no coke
• I clearly do not know left from right because I kept mixing up my left and right ventricles on the computer today which makes me total dumbass
• The tow truck guy came 30 min. early when I was in class and could not answer my phone. It was in the freaking 90’s today and I had no change for the evil coke machine and no water in the car.
• They were going to take my car to a different dealership and I hate to get angry, not good….
