I Just Feel Like Eating Cheese....

There are many times when I just feel like eating cheese.

1. I went on a diet after Christmas...I really missed eating cheese.

2. When I study for an extended period of time...I just feel like eating cheese.

3. When I make my morning cream of wheat..I just feel like adding cheese.

4. When I get home from clinical...I just want a piece of cheese.

5. When everything seems to be too stressful...I just feel like eating cheese.

Could this explain why I've gained three pounds back? Grrr...now I'm frusterated...I think I'll go eat a piece of cheese (J/K)

Shopping

Have you ever gone shopping and decided NOT to buy that item you really like and then regret it later? Here's how to tell if you really wanted/needed that item.

1. You think about it all the way home.
2. You think how great that item would have looked on your wall or on your figure when you are at home.
3. You try to find the item on the interenet.
4. You think about driving 8 hours in order to go get that item.

My friend, husband and I went to Charleston a few weeks ago. I found a picture that I absolutely LOVED...but I decided to be economical and skip the purchase. I still think about that picture a lot! :( This is a time that I WISH I hadn't been economical...my husband was ready to buy it...but I decided that we SHOULDN'T buy it. Oh well...I guess that's a few bucks I can spend on something else.

Cheesy Church Signs

So, I've been noticing a lot of cheesy church signs lately. Unfortunately I can only remember one. I'm hoping you can add to my list!

1. We believe in UFO's. Unity, Forgiveness and Outreach.
2. Lost? Use GPS. Gods Plan of Salvation.

I'm an ALL or Nothing Kind of Girl

My sister revealed this fact to me the other week...I'm definitely an all or nothing kind of girl. Here's a few facts to prove it.

1. If I can't exercise like I'm training for a marathon or iron man...I don't want to do it at all.

2. If I screw up on my diet...I don't just screw up a little, I eat 5 oreos, a piece of cake and 3 diet cokes in one day. If I remain resolute, it's impossible to get me to eat even one little jelly bean.

3. If I can't clean my house to the point of perfection I want it to be..I leave it for a day that I can. This day sometimes does not come for a couple of weeks.

4. If I plan a study day...it's an ALL day study day. None of this studying for an hour here and there kind of stuff..


hmmm...I'm beginning to think that this all or nothing mode of thought isn't such a good thing...Does anyone else suffer from this mode of thinking?

Reading List

As you have probably guessed, I have this obsession with lists. I REALLY like book lists. So, I am going to list the last five books I've read or am currently reading and I encourage you to do the same.

1. Watership Down. My husband encouraged me to read this one. I can't say it was my favorite. It was okay, I just got a little sick of reading about rabbits after a while.

2. 1984...So, I've been reading this since my honeymoon. I can't seem to finish it. I'm stuck in a really boring part right now...but I WILL finish it because it is part of another book list I want to add another check to.

3. The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox. I've only read fifty pages so far..but it has really peaked my interest.

4. Churched. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, this book. If you grew up in a fundamentalist baptist church, this is the book for you.

5. My Sisters Keeper. It actually took me a while to get through this book. It was an easy read, but I guess I just didn't love it. It has an interesting plot line though.

So, tell me...what books have you been reading lately?

I've Diagnosed Myself

Since I'm in nursing school, I've diagnosed myself with about ten different diseases. Here they are.

1. When I was having heart burn, I thought for sure I was suffering from ventricular tachycardia.

2. After I ruled out v-tach, I was positive that I was in the beginning stages of GERD....that kept me from drinking soda for a few weeks.

3.Once after I drove to school and had to stare into the sun for a while, I began seeing flashes. I was very worried that some sensory problem was beginning to manifest itself. Could it be a detached retina? Am I suffering from a brain tumor? This made me slightly paranoid

3. The other day, I rubbed my contacts and when I tried to look at the computer screen, everything appeared blurry. I therefore logically concluded that I was begining to show signs and symptoms of nearsightedness. I wondered how I was going to explain bifocals as a 27 year old.

4. I've also diagnosed myself with the stomach flu many times. Today for instance, my stomach started acting up because I was so nervous about my final exam. I even made an escape plan in case I became violently ill in the middle of my final. My stomach was fine of course..I just had to settle down a bit.

5. I think I've also diagnosed myself with OCD. I've become very obsessive about washing my hands. I even sing the ABC's and scrub vigorously to the jingle going through my head. I won't tell you what else I do to make me think that I have this disorder. You may think I really do have a problem. Just because I microwave my washcloth (in order to kill off germs) at least once and many times 2 x during a dish washing session..doesn't mean I'm crazy...right?

6. Sometimes I think nursing school CAUSES me to have health issues. How am I supposed to sleep, exercise, eat healthily, keep my house clean and organized, remain socially active AND maintain a good GPA in school?...They teach us to tell our patients to be sure and do all these things...but I guess it doesn't apply to us nurses.

Weighty Matters...

So..I've done it. I made my New Years Resolution of getting down to a specific weight... I've decided that..

1. Losing weight isn't much fun if no one notices! :(
2. Although no one has noticed...I do like the feeling of loose jeans once again. No more asking my husband if my pants look to tight to wear out of the house.
3. I must be conceited since I'm sad that no one has noticed my weight loss...
4. I also wonder why I work so hard...if no one can tell the difference:)
Oh well...I'm off to go eat some food at a friend's house...
