Books, Books, Books.

Well, life hasn't changed a whole lot since I last updated. I celebrated Valentine's with my fiance, Cole, last weekend. He took me out to El Chicos and we ate mexican: it was yummy. Then afters, we went out and watched Valentine's Day. I thought the movie was sweet, funny and cute. On the other hand, Cole thought it was cheesy, chick flicky and a waste of money. In other words, girls: you'll love it, guys: just go, have fun and amuse your girlfrends. They'll love you for it.

Anyhow, then there was also Chinese New Years which coincindentally in the same day as Valentine's. Any normal chinese new years, my family would go all out with the food, red pocket giving and what not, but this year was a sad one. I spent it with Cole instead (my new family). Since the move (my parents moved to Seattle, WA) a little while back, everything has changed. I miss you horribly. I miss home cooking and I miss having money. haha

Well, work is still work. Doing a whole lot of non sense that won't benefit me any in my pharmacy career. I'm forced to do med-pass observations at the hospital.. seeing I'm at a hospital management rotation. It's not all that fun but it's an easy A so I won't complain too much.

I should get back to working my powerpoint I supposedly have to present to a lot of nurses next week, oh joy!

oh, i guess i should mention something about books, seeing that's my title. haha it means that's all i have been doing, reading books. I have probably read 2-3 books in the last week. so in other words, i don't have a life when i don't have cable or internet.

so sick of winter, so ready for summer

well. i haven't updated in awhile. funny thing is, i forgot i had a blog. i have been busy with work, life and my winter reading list. it's crazy how you can be so drawn in with a book.. and next thing you know, it's way past bedtime. i can't say i've been too bored these days with all these books. i'm def. going to miss checking out free books when i'm back in little rock.

anyway, so valentine's this weekend. i can hardly wait to see cole again. i drove down to see him the past weekend and it was a big mistake. don't get me wrong, i was so happy to see him seeing that the weekend before we didn't get to see each other due to bad weather... i really didn't think the weather would bad this past weekend.. however, i had to drive thru a blizzard literally to get there.. thankfully i made it in one piece and once i got there... the weather stayed calm the rest of the weekend. cole and i made plans for vday.. we've decided no presents (again) this year since we're getting married in a couple of months and we're literally broke. these days, we're not getting much help from our folks. wedding planning is insane and i already feel bad enough about that.

i can't wait till i get paid.. the day will come soon enough.. anyhow, so we decided dinner and a movie should suffice this year and maybe next year, we can do something fancy or going somewhere for a weekend.. i long for those days. until my next post.. come back soon.

cabin fever

well.. day 3 of boredem since the snow storm. i finally decided i wanted to risk it and head into town and here i am, at the library. i really needed to return some stuff and might as well rent out new books seeing that i won't have anything else to do the rest of the week other than work. i found a really neat web site where it suggests good books to read so i browsed around on it for like an hour.. goodreads.com (pj if you get bored) anyway, after i did everything i wanted to do online, i decided i'm going to update my blog because i'm so dreading going back to the house.

so the snow went up to my knees. i woke up yesterday and looked outside to see how the road conditions were and noticed my neigbhbor was clearing his drive way. i noticed mine was way worse than his and decide to walk over there and ask to borrow his snow shovel after he gets done. Mr. W was really nice about it.. after talking to him i went back inside to prepare myself for this extrenous sport. i came to the conclusion that after a few mins of shoveling, i would die of exhaustion and pain.. seeing that i have never exercised a day in my life. I was so not looking forward to it, but it had to be done. So a few minutes later, i went outside with my ipod, sunglasses and gloves and all ready to dive in. To my surprise, Mr. W was already over in my drive way and have already cleared a part of it. i felt so bad about it, i really didn't want him to do it.. i just wanted to borrow his shovel. i kept insisting i can take over and it shouldn't be that hard.. and he kept saying, "oh it's not a problem, i'm happy to do it." so, after being defeated, i stayed outside with him to keep in company. there's no way i'm going back inside whilst an older man shoves my driveway.. boy, did i felt bad. An hour later, it was all done. Secrectly, i was happy that i didn't have to do it because it would have taken me 3 hours and my body would have so sore by the end of it. I am so lucky to live(d) in a neighborhood full of nice people. That's one thing i'm going to miss about mountain home.

snowed in.

so, friday, the start of my weekend and im stuck home..yup, this promised wintery storm came.. it looks absolutely beautiful out there.. all covered in white and not a single car in sight. i suppose everyone decided to stay in as well. i have to find some kind of entertainment to last me through the weekend.. and thats when this brillant idea comws to me, "How I Met Your Mother" marathon. oh how i love this show.. whoever came up with it is a genious. Its got wonderfully written characters, brillant story line and awesome humor. love it. anyway, just wanted to make a quick update and to announce i'm alive even tho i'm away for society for the time being.

last day here - possibly?

well, i woke up this morning and like a little kid ran straight to the window to see what mother nature brought in whilst i was asleep. i couldn't decide if i want to be snowed in today or not. now that i'm here at work and ready to present my cases, i'm glad the snow was pushed back a day. guys, or just 1 guy haha, be ready to pray for me at approximately 2:30 pm on this thursday afternoon. by the time you read this, if you ever decide to cause i know i have no followers yet, it'll be over with.

anyhow, everyone here is anticipating the bad weather. we all have weather.com loaded up on my computer and checking it in between looking through patient's charts. every now and then, someone finds out news and would yell it out above everyone about the weather. for the next few seconds everyone gets a lil bit more excited than they were before and murmurs start to fill the room. oh, how i love winter. as of right now, the most current annoucement is we are suppose to get up to 9 inches of ice/snow in the next day or two. this saddens me a little, i'm all by myself and this is going to make traveling a bit difficult.

well, at least i'm stocked up on food, well frozen food. lets pray the power doesn't go off like last time. from what i heard, people were out of power for up to 2 weeks and that would kill me. i would die the next day. anyhow, i'm trying to be stealthy about blogging because i would hate it if the other pharmacists see that i'm not really working but ranting online.

ok, i need to get off now. xoxo sally

Yay 1st post.. I feel rather sophicated?

Okay! So I'm still trying to get used to this stupid blog thing. I got really excited at first but then It took me like THREE times to blog my 1st post. I guess I'm not as computer literate as I thought I was. OR out of all the blogs, mine end up being the faulty one.

Anyhow, I decided to take off work early. WORK! I call that a joke. I have been working for free for the last SIX months of my school year. I need a total of NINE months of free labor or they call it "experience" to be able to graduate. This is my last year of pharmacy school and Thank GOD! I'm so ready to get out of that hell hole.

Okay, I got sidetracked. So, I took off early in hopes to get some grocery shopping done due to the stormy wintery mix we're suppose to be getting tomorrow and the day after. I usually don't go crazy when a snow storm decides to head our way, but this time I really needed food seeing that I live by myself and my fridge has SQUAT! So everyone in town was there and had the same idea as me. I kind of had a feeling it would be like that because where I live, we have a lot of retired folks whose days are filled with nothing but fun! right! anyway, so after shoving through tons of people and got what I needed to last me for 3 days, which I thought was enough to get me through the storm. I left and headed to the library.

Oh the library, I love you! You've been keeping me sane the last month with your love-filled novels, movies, and oh yea internet. I decided I wanted to finish my presentation that I have to give tomorrow even tho there might be a chance I won't have to show up. It's better be prepared than well...not. So, here I am typing this blog.. and well... the presentation is next. Maybe. After I get to do everything I wanted on the internet.

Anyway, I have 2 days left of this rotation and ON to the next one...which is at the same place. Truthfully I am kind of dreading it. I'm sick of MH already and am ready to head back to society and life. I miss my dogs. I miss my boo. I miss cable. I miss internet. Yeah, but don't feel sad for me... I only have ONE more month left!!

Well, off to do other important things in life.

XOXO Sally
