Treat Tuesday

Well no trucking for Chryslyn. I guess I will have to find another way to score a pair of coveralls.
Is it just me or is this semster crazy busy and flying by? I can't believe February starts on Thursday. I told Tavis I don't really like the month of February and he graciously reminded me at least Valentine's is in the month. SO the 14th will redeem the month!
I do have another public annoucement to make. I have a cell phone. The phone dosen't work so I have a different phone with a different phone number. I usually do not remember the actual number. I have given out various versions of my cell number to the inconvience of some good friends. Its kinda funny to hear about how people have tracked me down if they were able too at all!!! ALthough I am not laughing. I am soo sorry and hopefully within the week I will have my original number cell again!................. I have a very urgent annoucement to make................CANNONBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want to be a trucker

I am sitting at a crossroads. I may be going on my very first delivery, which would be awesome. Maybe i could get my own pair of coveralls. I think though everyone is doing everything in thier power to not make it so I can go. I am going to keep hoping though!

ALL BRAN BULLETIN

Thats right All Bran has a new cereal. Now I hope we are all under the same impression that fibre is very very good for you! If we have a descrepency there then well we'll talk... over a bowl of bran buds. Now recently allbran came out with a honey oat flavor. Wonderful flakes with clusters of honey oats. So I was about to buy probably my fourth box since the fall when low and behold there is a new kind! Its called All Bran Guardian with maple sugar flavor. They look like cheerio's and hearts. Really a treat to eat. It also has the psyillium fibre which is supposed to be good but I haven't really looked into it. These are the facts 6g of fibre per cup which is 110 kcals. Not bad but the sugar level is kinda high i think 10g/cup.
Besides the new cereal I am doing well. Today I had a massage which was like heaven to my body. I would like to try a massage marathon. Like I could just let my muscles melt away and I would be so dreamy and relaxed. Hmmm I'm getting sleepy but it is almost 12:30. In fact i think I can watch the Colbert report. YES! Tomorrow I might pay for this but it is so worth it. I was at the U from 1:30pm until 8:30pm doing research, homework and I had a night class. Then went home for a jogg and talked to my dreamy boyfriend for awhile then hit the computer again until now. So Colbert bring it on!

Ikea!!! Chinook!!! NICOLE!!!!!!

It's another trip to Calgary. I get to see Nicole which is my favorite. Tavis and I are going to head to the big city to do some shopping and visiting with good friends. Soooo excited!

All the Beautiful People

Its true that me and camera's have a long sordid history. This has not stopped me, nay! It has pushed me on to find better and more brilliant ways to be photographed with some of the classiest and beautiful people I have ever seen. Yes you can access these shots at the best blogger of blogs Tavis Newman (there is a link in my people). Its been a great day and friends are getting pictures for their wedding and couples are gracing the lens of digital photography that meet with the screens of your personal desktop or laptop computer. I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as we did taking them!
p.s. you might not, and I understand. :)

oh s#@t

So problemo for this studious girlie. I am in two three hour seminar classes on thursday. Not to complain but sometimes the discussion can be on the monotonous side. Well to just jump in there I figured i would volunteer to lead yesterdays class with another class member. We all rotate through and end up leading at least one class. Soooo the subject is nurse practitioners, advanced nurse practitioners, and somthing i still don't remember what it stands for CNS (c.... nurse specialist). My role is to do the icebreaker at the beginning and the group evaluation. My partner who is an outstandingly smart student is doing the group discussion. So during my research or lack of I discover my printer dosen't print. So i go the U. Slightly nervous about the upcoming class but it will be fine once it is over. I access my research at the comp lab and to my chagrin the printer is like more messed up the michael jackson. So i am now late for class with no research. oh well not the most important thing i tell myself. I arrive a couple minutes late, sit down, and the instructor says he is sure glad i showed up. I laugh a rather uncertain laugh and then he goes on to explain my teaching buddy is sick. SICK???? Yes she is sick and i have a three hour class to get through, with no research, no buddy
:(
It actually turned out well. Everybody participated in the discussion and through some tricky questioning i found out what the topic was about and even added some of my own interjections. They were probably really smart.

okay Borat?

I didn't get it. Maybe i am not a funny person, I just don't know but apart from a couple scenes that movie was messed up. But a great movie I just watched (I don't do anything else apparently) is little Miss Sunshine. It came highly recommended from some reliable sources and Tavis and I gave it a chance. I loved the whole family from crack-grandpa to suicidal brother to mute son. Very cute, funny, yet emotionally touching.
Well tomorrow i am back at school. It will be the first evening of this class so I really can hardly wait to see what sort of interesting questions will arise. Actually I signed up for the marathon club and it seems that school may interfere with attending some of the information sessions and runs. However I am doing the half marathon so I think the training won't be too much that i can't do it on my own time.
p.s. I made zero new year's resolutions so they are going quite well. How are everybody else's?

a dedication to Winston ;)

Well I like to check in from time to time with my friends that read my blog faithfully yet remain under the radar.
A little update is definitley in order. To condense my life at the moment I will briefly describe my last week. I just attempted to break it down by days but realized i don't remember alot of it. I had the week off except for thursday so mostly if you are wondering what i was doing its safe to say i was sleeping. Or watching Arrested Development, the office, inviting myself to the Nickle's, hanging out with an extremely good looking fellow (very sweet too), eating out with friends, playing TONS of Killer Bunnies and other games, and making awesome coffee with my new french press and coffee grinder compliments of Sheldon, Stephen, and Amber.
So thursday i went to school. Its always a toss up wether to go the first day or not. I usually end up going becuase me concious gets to me. However immiedetly regretted the decision when third year nursing students were wondering during ground rule time if we could bring snacks. Snacks for the whole class? I ask. No just personal snacks. Well ummmm yeah for a three hour class... what do you think? Okay you would think this conversation is over. No. Another hand goes up, "what about if there is a presentation? Then we probably shouldn't eat anything crunchy."
So I will let you decide what you will about student nurses but please don't generalize to all nurses but yes conversations like this still take place. Awesome. I am trying to stay optimistic about the whole semester but it was just a tough start.
Tonight I am going to see Borat. I am going with very low expectations. Its always the best way.
Take care and have a great week (especially Alice and Winston)
