All Things Summer Swap!

My friend Jess over at Living on Sweet Tea has directed me to an "All Things Summer" swap that Sweet Tea Diaries is hosting, and it just looked too cool to pass up, so I signed up too!!! What the heck, why not? I absolutely LOVE summertime stuff, and getting things in the mail. This combined BOTH! How cool is that?

Great Deals Ahead!!!

I just wanted to share with you all that Victoria Secret is having their Semi-annual sale again, and there are some GREAT deals out there! Being that I am a "valued customer" I got a sneak peak at it yesterday and ordered 2 bras (much needed). I got one for $14.50 and the other for $19.50! You can't even buy them at Wal-mart or Target for that price!!!!! Check it out! 

Before I order anything online I always google for offer codes, and there are always ones for VS!!! That's how I got the one bra for $14.50. I had found an offer code for 40% off a clearance item. I'm pretty sure that offer expired yesterday, but it's always worth a shot to look! This is my favorite site for codes, I usually find at least ONE that works. I also signed up for a VS credit card yesterday too..... only because there are so many more codes that you can use if you have one, and I'm a sucker for a great bargain! I always pay off my cards at the end of the month anyway, so if I'm saving some money by using it, I might as well! You also get more offers sent to you through email, and special discounts on your birthday, etc etc.

Happy shopping!!!!!

Tootin' My Horn!

I took my entrance exam today for the Technical School I am trying to get in to for LPN school. I have to say, last night, when I was going over some practice questions, I got a little nervous. Math and Science have never been my strong points, and going over stuff that I hadn't seen in years started to freak me out. Turns out, it wasn't so bad after all! During the test I was a little unsure of some of it, but my scores reflect otherwise. I had to score in the 40th percentile of the program testers.... 

This is where I scored:

Reading : 99

Math: 92

Science: 90

English: 73

Now let me just say, English has always been my best subject, so I was a little disappointed in my scores, but the only part of it that I scored low in was punctuation. I never did learn how to use a colon and a semi-colon properly, lol. 

So now my file is complete, and I am just waiting to hear whether or not there is room in their program for me since I get to skip the first semester due to the fact that I already completed a semester in the RN program.

Toot! Toot! 

Happy Mother's Day!

I hope all the Mom's and Mother figures (who are just as important in my book) had an awesome mother's day!!!!! and I hope they all got the appreciation they deserve. 

We started our Mother's Day journey's by going to see my mommy. Then we went and visited my Grammy, on to Ed's Grandma, and then to see Ed's mom where we ended the night by watching her play beer pong with her kids. It was pretty priceless.... pics to come!!!! But until then, here is one of my favorite pictures of me and MY mommy!

Stupid People Sunday

Yesterday I was craving iced coffee. We had a coupon for a free McCafe iced coffee at McDonalds, so we went through the drive thru. Ed placed the order for a "Medium iced coffee, cream, 4 Splenda" and the response he got was "sir, we make our iced coffee with cream and sugar, does that mean you want Spenda instead of sugar?". Oh goodness.... already my mind went to stupid people Sunday, lol... So he said "yes", and she says "um, ok, so you want a medium iced coffee with 4 cream and 4 Splenda?" I told him at this point to just say yes because she would never figure out the cream thing. Normally they just put the normal amount of cream and however many sugar or splenda. So he said yes and we pull up, and watched her use sugar instead of Splenda. Whatever.  We hand her the coupon and she's like "uh, the McCafe is coming soon, we don't actually have that yet, I dont think I can take your coupon". Now, I'm not exactly sure what McCafe is, but I'm pretty sure iced coffee is iced coffee. Luckily, a nice person who wasn't stupid heard this conversation and "worked her magic" so to say on the register for us so that it was free. All this for my free medium iced coffee with 4 flippin cream and 4 squirts of sugar. grrrrrrrr.

You can't fix stupid....

The Pee in the Pog Tube

Yes, it is as gross as it sounds. Let me start by saying that I'm pretty sure I'm going to go to LPN school before I move back into an RN program. I have 2 possible schools in the running right now, and I have started my paperwork for acceptance. Part of this lovely acceptance process is submitting a physical, background check, and drug screening. None of this is hard to accomplish, I'm in good health, never been convicted of a crime, and never taken a drug in my life.... but it is a pain because each of these things have to be done at a different location throughout the county!! Yesterday I decided to tackle the drug screening. I headed out to the lab about a half hour away and made sure I drank a diet coke on the way there so no matter what, I would have to pee! I got there and was immediately hit by some really strange scents. I can't explain it, the only thing I can think that could possibly create that scent would be something really stinky covered up by a lot of scented cleaning product. There were rows of chairs set up, more courthouse or dmv style than a Dr. office. Maximum capacity of seating was 25, and then if you exceeded that you were to line up outside. (That's a high class establishment right there!) It wasn't long before I was called in. Luckily I was able to snag a seat....The lady took my form and instructed me to set down my purse and folder on the chair (like the chair you sit in to have blood drawn), EWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!! So I put my folder down and set my purse on top of it, just in case. (The folder is disposable, the purse, not so much.) And then she had me wash my hands, and handed me a container that looked like a POG TUBE! I'm not even exaggerating. For those of you that do not remember pogs, the opening is like the size of a gatorade bottle. Then I was told to leave my frickin' Coach purse and other belongings where they sat on that nasty chair out in the open of a room with other people in it, and go to the bathroom and pee in the pog tube. Great. So I just thought to myself, "it'll be okay, just get it done as quickly as physically possible and get out!!!!" Now, seriously, I'm gonna be completely honest with ya'll.... as a female, how do you pee in something like that and NOT pee on your hand at some point? If anyone has any special techniques, please share, because I'm really bothered by this. The worst part? There were no paper towels in this bathroom. All you get is a toilet, toilet paper, and a sink. No soap, no paper towels, no towelettes like the nicer facilities have, NOTHING. So I pee'd, wiped it and my hands off as best I could, and handed it back to the lady and asked if I could go to the other sink outside and wash my hands. AND she had the nerve to ask me if I wiped off the pog tube. Seriously!?!??!?! I should have left it and told her to gimme something to wipe it with and I might think about it. Grrrrrrrr. So after applying the sticker to my tube, with her gloved hand still, she picks up a pen and starts filling out my paperwork, and then HANDS ME THE PEN to sign my name. NASTY NASTY NASTY. How many other times has she done this with that pen?So I signed it as fast as I could, picked up all my stuff, and headed for the door as fast as possible and then drenched myself with as much hand sanitzer as I could. I put it all over my hands and up and down my arms. I felt sooooo nasty. I seriously needed to be hosed down with sanitizer after that. I proceeded to re-drench my hands every hour or so for the rest of the day until they were dry and flaky by the evening. So please cross your fingers for me and say a prayer that I get in to this school and hopefully do not have to have another experience like this for quite a while. 

My next adventure? Fingerprinting! 

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

So yeah, I'm an old lady... I didn't do anything exciting for Cinco de Mayo, but I hope everyone else did!!!! My day consisted of sleeping in, dropping of paperwork at my potential new school, going to lunch with my Aunt, her fiance, and his friends, dinner at my moms, and hanging out at a barn with my friend while she cleaned her horses stall. Woo hoo! I'm such a party animal! ::rolls eyes:: I can, however, say that I consumed a margarita today :) while I was at lunch at our local Mexican restaurant/bar and it was very good too!! What did everyone else do for Cinco de Mayo? Anything exciting?
