New Levels of Insanity

I have jumped back into the pool and am submitting my application to the University of Pennsylvania's Nurse Practitioner Program. Aside from being Ivy League, it is one of the most expensive programs in the country. I am hoping that 1. I am accepted, and 2. I am the person scholarships are made for....

Wordless Wednesday

I am with you, Mr Polar Bear. Some days it is almost too much of an effort to remain upright :) I am having that day. For the past week, I have seen every hour pass on the alarm clock...

Porch flowers

Tuesday, my friend Anne and I went to Rice's Market to find flowers. Although the day was rainy and cold, we found many a great deal. For 100$, I was able to get two lovely huge barrels of flowers, three hanging baskets, and basil, rosemary, thyme, parsley and chive plants.

We started out at 6am and arrived as the vendors were unloading. We found many a more great deal... cheap knockoff coach sunglasses, mets flags, and hot pretzels.

Graduation pic

These are the professional pics taken at the ceremony. I will point out that my hair looked lovely prior to having to put the damn hat on my head. I am not a big fan of the shots but they show me in the garb :)

Don't You Want to Crawl in the Photo??

Continuing with the theme of Nurses Week

My favorite piece of art regarding nurses... These are Lladro and I coveted them for years. I found them in Bermuda for a steal. They came home with me on the ship. Fortunately, I had sailed out of New York City and only had to lug them through the port...

Today is National Nurses Day

Although the picture is a little antiquated, it still is one of my favorites. Nursing no longer is simply hand holding but still very much encompasses the comfort and grace that this picture portrays.

So today, hug your favorite nurse.

Let The Celebration Begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Final Exam check, check, check.....

graduation May 18 :)

Study helper

She thinks she was helping me study. I think she was willing me to pull the blanket up and take a nap. Guess who won?
