"Some people see things that are and ask, Why?
Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not?
Some people have to go to work and don't have time for all that".

hahahaha, just thought i would share this funny quote by George Carlin

The Random Dozen (stolen from Aunt Cath)

This is a cool conversation piece that my Aunt Cath participates in and I found very fun. Thought I would share. Feel free to copy & paste and share your own thoughts about this week's random dozen.... Thanks Cath for the idea =)

1. I've always wondered why we were taught both printing and cursive. Do you prefer to print or write cursive? (Keyboard is not a choice.)

I actually prefer to do a mix of both cursive and print. Im not sure why my handwriting has turned out that way, but it has. When I sign a form professionally or a check its all cursive and pretty much illegible because I sign my name a lot. But if I were to pen a letter, its mixed cursive and print.

2 Are you a dreamer or a realist?

Realist for sure. I do not like gambling or just hoping (dreaming) things turn out the way I would like them to. I like to make things happen TODAY and not wait around for the "someday". My husband tells me that I live in a box, and its ok to step out of the box. Hmmm...I like squares!

3. Billy Joel or Elton John?

Ew, neither.

4. What is the scariest movie you've ever seen? Not limited to horror flicks but also includes ones where the tension or suspense is killer, for example, Flightplan (2005): A bereaved woman and her daughter are flying home from Berlin to America. At 30,000 feet the child vanishes and nobody admits she was ever on that plan.

Arachnophobia is right up there because I hate bugs. Silence of the Lambs is also one that makes my skin crawl and Jeepers Creepers about made me vomit. But real life scary to me is like the movie Taken when a child is taken and the parents struggle to have the child returned unharmed....those creep me out the most



5. Now what is the scariest real-life moment you've had?
Wow, i cant think of anything right off the top of my head. I have seen some pretty scary things working in the ER, but honestly have been blessed with a healthy happy family. Scary would definitely be anything involving my kids being hurt.

6. What word do you misspell without fail?

Im actually a pretty good speller. Plus spellcheck is awesome. Punctuation however is another story. I have to force myself to capitalize and use periods, apostrophes and such.

7. Name something you like to do but are not really talented or good at.

Photography for sure. I love to take pics, especially ones of people (specifically my kids because I think they make beautiful subjects, lol) and I also enjoy editing and playing with colors. I would love to take some classes and buy my dream camera. (It's $1500 if anyone wants to donate to the cause)

8. Do you get your emotional/mental batteries recharged by being around people or by having alone time?

Alone time for sure. I dont feel recharged unless I get some me time. Even if it's only an hour in the bathtub with a gossip magazine, I love my hour of recharging.

9. Have you ever been on TV?

No! Can you believe it? I am such movie star material! I dont know why I have yet to be "signed"!

10. Apple or pumpkin pie? (Don't be greedy.)

Peach.....with vanilla bean ice cream preferably.

11. How many magazine subscriptions do you have?

Just one, American Journal of Nursing. However my BFF Jill has a subscription to US Weekly magazine which she faithfully hands down to me the following week of publication, so I need to purchase the next years subscription.

12. What lesson do you have to keep re-learning?

Driving the speed limit. My boss nicknamed me "SpeedRacer". Enough said. :(

Im a slacker blogger!

Getting in touch with my old friend Sarah has prompted me to re-visit my blog...So here are some updated pics because I'm a slacker blogger and haven't blogged since Christmas.
