"SPRING MUST-HAVES"

Apparently, the top 6 must-haves this spring include:

1)Plaid Shirts

2)Knit Dresses 

3)V-neck tees

4)Colored Denim

5)Bright Handbags

6)&High waisted shorts/shirts

I can really appreciate the rainy days but I guess I am kinda over the winter weather, wishing the sun would stay up a lil longer.  Time for "spring fashion"..hahaha--ummm, except I dont know about the colored denim.  

Speaking of weather...in denial of any of us "getting old," I've decided the reason I get so sleepy when I go out is because it's cold! Like really, seems like everytime I'm out, the idea of sleeping in a warm bed tends to linger in the back of my mind. & I have noticed that I'm just not as exciting when I go out. No dancing, no making out, no falling down. LOL, err, I guess it's a good thing haha.  It's more like me driving seperately so I can go home early, me falling asleep somewhere on a couch, me yawning all night, etc.  In conclusion, I am not getting old..it's just cold! (I dont know why I had to justify that to myself) 

Went to Target the other day--bathing suits are selling now! I get super excited thinking about the trip..except the whole $35 check-in luggage fee! I will also be having a "10-day spring break" towards the end of March before I start ICU training, so I want to do a lil trip maybe to San Francisco for a lil getaway? Hopefully.

With that said, I keep telling myself to save your money, biatch. But I'm not very good at it, although much better.  MINT.com---wonderful site if you guys haven't used it yet. You pretty much register all your accounts (bank, credit cards, IRAs, loans, etc), and the website organizes your debt vs. assets, allowing you to take a "financial picture" of yourself, per se. You can set monthly limits on your spending in different categories like shopping/gas/entertainment, and it tracks where you're spending your money and warns you if you're overspending. Also, it emails you when bill payments are coming up, suggests options of saving your money, and even better...there's an iPhone app for it :) 

ANYWAAAAAAYS, enough babble for the day. Time to watch TBS movies. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my DAD (tomorrow). Even with all the differences we've had in the past, I still love you! & Happy birthday PHILBERT (tues)...all I gotta say is: you better show up on Saturday!

ICU

heeeeeeeeeeeeeere i come :)

yipeeeee, my interview went well so i will officially be an ICU RN in training starting this march. I am very excited to be advancing my career in this direction, but the only problem is I don't know what to do next. Probably, it would be to go back to school, but I haven't found something I'm really passionate about yet so I wouldnt know what to specialize in. But anyways, I will just worry about the near future for now. I will also be joining my night shift people!! Another YAY for differential, maybe then I can afford a house/car payment =D But before I switch to nights (in July) I have to go through an intense training program, which pretty much equals me going back to school :( Buuutttt, I did ask the managers if Im clear to go to Hawaii...and Im CLEARED =) YAYY! So the classes and "finals" end June 16, and literally we will be heading to Hawaii the day after. I am going to feel soooo relieved and happy!!!

Anyways, my "check engine" light turned on again...for the THIRD time. What is reeally going on here?! I have seriously been considering buying a BMW5series..but I think Ill wait for the 2010. Not really that I NEED a new car so much, I just feel that with as much as I work..and as HARD as I work, I deserve to have something nice for myself..other than a nice tv. As nice (er hehe) as it is to help my parents financially, I feel like I have to make some kind of financial move to get away from my commitment to them..because sometimes, it really is a lot. So maybe..hopefully..wishfully..I can move out by 25. TWENTY-FIVE---we are getting soooo old.

Anyways, gotta get back to my day. Plans include: 24Lift, visit Giselle, dinner & a movie! yay! catch ya later.

OBSESSION

I have really got it bad..for the Twilight series. For the past week, I would have to admit that reading has taken over much of my life. I would read through phone calls, through my entire day offs, through a Saturday night on my weekend off!, etc. It came to the point where I would put the book down to knock out, and actually dream the story in my head as if I were the main character! Hahaa. Yup. Baad, i know. I actually have one more of the series to read, and Im planning on reading it muuch slower than I have the rest..because I really don't want the story to end :( I <3 Edward Cullen (hey, so does Dianne ok?!)

In other news, but AWESOME NEWS!!!...HAWAII IS BOOKED! June 17-28, it's on! Nine people officially on the roster, but maybe more tba. I am sooo excited because:
1)We have NEVER been able to plan a trip, esp. one this big, in the entire 12-13 yrs we've all known each other,
2)I think were doing a lot of things that I have never had the chance to do at Hawaii yet (Im definitely parasailing and cliffdiving),
3)the possibilities are endless! and were gonna have soo much fun!!!

My motivation to go to the gym is back! (It's the one thing Ive grown very conscious of lately(unfortunately)) cuz I really dont want to be all insecure at Hawaii about taking pictures, haha! Made me all excited thinking of the plane ride drinking mai tais, and hitting up the bars on the beach as soon as we arrive! Ohh..the possibilities! Makes me excited. The trip is gonna be here before we even know it :)
