A FEW Things I Couldn't Live Without

1. Target.
2. Diet Coke with Lime (I even registered for it for my wedding at Bed, Bath and Beyond..I thought it would be a funny joke...the lady behind the counter looked at me like I was psycho)
3. iPod
4. Internet (although I'd probably get a lot more accomplished during the day without it)
5. Hoodie sweat shirts (especially gray ones!)
6. A Fan...I'm all about the white noise when I sleep.
7. facebook (I know, it goes along with the internet, but it's different)
8. jeans
9. ankle socks that fit snuggly
10. blankets...I love em....use them ALL the time.

Tell me a few things you just couldn't live without...I'm interested to know...

Things people say at the gym...

so...this is a collection of things people decided to say to me at the gym...Mind you...I don't know most of these people!

1. Are you trying to show me up?!? (I was doing lat pull downs next to another guy doing the same thing...apparently I was lifting a lot of weight)

2. You're raising hell in here! (I was just in a hurry!)

3. Have you lost weight? (This is a person who saw me every day at the gym...I lost 1 or 2 lbs. over the weekend...it freaked me out that he could tell)

4. Do you use those foam rollers to get rid of cellulite?!?

5. After backing me into a corner...."YOU REALLY NEED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL TO DO SOMETHING ELSE WITH YOUR LIFE (I was in school..taking microbiology at the time and applying for nursing school)

6. Did you know you are my fantasy?!? (ahhh..still very creeped out by that)

7. After being hit on by a very old man with funny sweat pants and steele toed boots I said "no offense...but you could be my grandpa" His reply "Trust moi-I'm better then your grandpa"

8. What gym stories do you have?

Decisions.

Decisions.
1. I can't make them unless it involves food.
2. I wish someone else could just decide for me.
3. I've changed my mind on what I want to do with my life at least 4 times in the last 6 years.
4. Before I changed my mind 4 times.....I just couldn't decide on anything to decide about.
5. I wish I had a little gnome that whispered in my ear and told me which wedding chapel to decide on.

Acronyms...I love 'em

Nursing...it's what I'm gonna do for the rest of my life!! I made an acronym...I thought it would be a list with a twist!

Needed
Urgent
Rewarding
Sometimes makes me sick to my stomach
Interesting
Never thought I would be a nurse
Get to change people's lives every day.

Minnesota...I'll always have a special space in my heart for my native state!

Mmmmm...hot dish.
Icy
No bugs the size of TX.
No confederate flags in sight...I don't think I knew what a confederate flag looked like until I dated a southern boy.
Extra sour kraut on my bratwurst (definitely don't miss this part of MN)
Sure..ya betcha
Oooofta!!
Toboggans...we sled on them...not wear them on our head.
Always severely cold in the winter.

Stupid Things People Say and Do

This is a list of things that people have said in conversation....and it makes me wonder...why would you ever say something like that?

1. I asked a fellow nursing student why he wanted to be a nurse. His reply which REALLY made me wonder was "I had a testicle removed and the nurses really helped me through it." I was looking for something like "I really like to help people" His answer was definitely one that I was not expecting.

2. You're engaged? I hope you're not getting married until AFTER nursing school is over. (my instructor) Again...not a reply I was hoping for.

3. Wow..you have pretty blue eyes...are you high? (I know I mentioned this in one of my earlier blogs...but again...why would anyone say that?

4. After offering and serving a meal to a guest they started looking in my cupboards "for something else" Ooooohhh...that still get's on my nerves when I think about it.

5. You're getting married in 4 months?!? What is the hurry.....is there a little bump on the way?

People...they need to think before they talk....

What Would You Do for a Million Dollars?

1. Would you shave your head?
2. Would you pose naked? What if it were for only 1000 dollars?
3. Would you eat something off of Fear Factor?
4. Would you wear a sign on your back for a year that said "I'm stupid?"
5. Would you clean filthy toilets for a year?
6. Would you sit in a bath tub full of scorpions for 15 minutes?
7. Would you cheat on a test for a million dollars?
8. Would you act like you were in love with Richard Simmons for 5 years.
9. Would you go to jail for 5 years?
10. Would you give up showers for 6 months for a million dollars (without telling anyone why you quit showering)

I think I would only be able to do number 5 and 3. The rest seem either morally wrong or too ridiculous. What about you?

Would You Rather?!?

This is one of my favorite games....I could play it for hours. My friend, Abbey, and I used to make these up when we were travelling....and then I tortured my fiance with these questions when we first started dating.

1. Would You Rather have horrible breath you couldn't get rid of or be gaseous the rest of your life?

2. Would You Rather date a man (or woman) that was freakishly short, or freakishly tall?
a. What if the freakishly short man was really good looking and the tall man
was just average?

3. Would You Rather be kissed by Richard Simmons or chased by Rosie O'Donnell?

4. Would You Rather wear a bikini (or speedo if you're a male) to a wedding or to a church service?

5. Would You Rather be very intelligent but really ugly, or be really beautiful (or handsome) and be pretty stupid.

6. Would You Rather eat a raw pig or snake blood soup. (that really exists by the way)

7. Would You Rather sit in a bath tub full of spiders or swim in a pond overflowing with leaches?

8. Would You Rather date someone who was really good looking, but consistently had horrible breath, or date someone who had pleasant smelling breath, but was not good looking at all.

9. Would You Rather be completely hairless or have curly poodle hair (even on your eyebrows)

10. Would you rather be forced to quit shaving the rest of your life, or be limited to one shower a month.
Things you might want to consider....if you can't shave you'll be a pretty hairy woman...if you can't shower...you'll really stink.

So...what do you think...tell me what you would rather do...and post some of your own scenarios!!
