Bloody eyeballs and aching feet 2008-05-26 11:00:16 With one week under my belt as an anesthesia tech, I am feeling more confident about my decision to become a nurse. The week was not without incident and more tiring than I expected, but I made it through without losing my lunch.
It was a long week …
Having only spent time in an OR under anesthesia, [...]
Always lock the door 2008-06-01 12:32:01 I learned a valuable lesson this week … Always lock the door when entering a unisex bathroom!
Halloween comes early 2008-06-02 21:46:03 Decked in holiday cheer …
My grandmother has lost touch with reality. She is trapped in another decade that continues inside her head. It is part of the disease … Alzheimer’s.
When I pulled up to her house Sunday, I was not surprised to see a Jack ‘O’ Lantern staring back at me from her window. Read more:comes

Where is the off switch? 2008-06-05 21:04:51 The human brain … what a dumb invention!
Why did our creator forget the most important part? Everything needs to have the ability to turn on and off! Read more:switch
My little black eye 2008-06-15 14:10:50 My injuries are never exciting. I would love to say that I fought a bear, wrestled a rabid dog or defended another human being in harm. Unfortunately, I can’t tell any wild stories about this injury or any of those that came before it. My black eye is an example of my clumsiness. I hit my eye on a chair [...] Read more:little
Blog slacking 2008-06-23 22:38:29 Dear loyal blog readers …
My doctor diagnosed me with “blog slacking.” This is a real disease. I am not attempting to buy time or make excuses for my lack of blog entries over the past week or so.
The truth …
I have two sets of family in town. Every moment that I am not working is [...]
Need a reason to procreate? 2008-07-01 21:31:05 Forget fancy houses and expensive retirement plans. If you play your cards right, the only investment you need to make is in your kids.
Think about it … no matter how completely screwed up your life is, your kids will always bail you out (assuming you bailed them out at some point in their youth). This [...]
Confessions of a video store clerk 2008-06-29 21:05:36 For the past 13 years, I have always had a job (minus three weeks when I moved to Alabama). Each job was interesting in its own way with its own set of pros and cons.
From waitress and factory worker to journalist and photographer, I have experienced a rainbow of careers with very colorful memories. One [...] Read more:video
The one upper 2008-07-16 18:01:33 Everyone knows a one upper …
This is that annoying girl at work who insists that her life is more important than yours. She attempts to top any experience or problem you have with one of her own. Suddenly, your successes are yanked from the pedastal and tossed aimlessly into the trash bin beneath your desk.
His last breath 2008-07-10 19:43:14 My great great uncle died today at 93 years old. For those of you that know me well, this man meant the world to me. I am sad to see him go, but I know that he lived a long, happy life. I am not really sure what to say except goodbye. I love you, Uncle [...]
Mandatory IQ test 2008-07-31 21:20:03 Not everyone should be allowed to reproduce …
We should require all human beings to take a mandatory IQ test before they reach parenting age. This IQ test can be part of a routine doctor’s visit for children 10 years and older. Afterall, adults are required to get a tube stuck up their butts when they turn 50, so [...] Read more:Mandatory
Power hungry aliens 2008-07-24 21:16:40 I’m tired of hearing these alien abduction stories …
Who do these aliens think they are? Go home to where you came from. I saw E.T. I know that your intentions are not to live the rest of your life on this planet. You only want to show your face to let humans know that you are [...]
Back to school 2008-08-17 21:23:12 The fear, the humiliation, the excitement, the anticipation, the anxiety …
Armed with a rainbow of emotions, I start school tomorrow.
My new purpose in life 2008-08-17 20:36:41 With all this confusion in Jennifer land, I finally came to a conclusion on what I want to do with my life. Forget nursing … forget journalism … I have decided that I will marry a man who does not mind paying the bills while I sit on my butt all day and write a book. I [...]
My gym scandal 2008-08-10 21:08:52 Day after day, I swipe my card to gain access to the gym’s exercise equipment. I watch as the familiar name flashes on the computer monitors. The friendly staff smiles and nods to let me know that they are glad to see me. Little do they know that the most intense part of my workout is when they watch [...]
Missing in action 2008-09-12 00:18:48 Do you ever get the feeling that I spend more time making excuses for not writing blogs than actually just doing it? Well, this particular blog is not the exception. This is just another excuse from your very own insomniac. You might be asking yourself at this very moment … what’s your excuse this time?
School. I [...] Read more:Missing
How do you spend your 8 hours? 2008-09-01 20:50:04 I recently started a new shift at work to accommodate my school schedule. I work 3 to 11 p.m. three days a week.
This new shift has its own set of “benefits” and perks …
First week of school 2008-08-26 15:46:06 I made it through the first week of school. The feelings of doubt carry over into the second, but I talked myself out of dropping all of my classes. Read more:First
The accessory that never dies 2008-09-28 18:25:24 Are fanny packs back in style? Were they ever in style? These are the questions I keep asking myself as I attempt to study for an Anatomy and Physiology test.
What is a fanny pack?
A fanny pack is a small fabric pouch with a zipper enclosure secured to the waist by a strap. Unfamiliar with the term, [...]
I saw myself sleeping 2008-09-20 23:36:10 I never take naps, but I could not help myself
Friday afternoon. After working 3 to 11 p.m. Thursday followed by 8 a.m. classes on Friday, I knew I needed a nap before I tried to pull another shift at work.
I closed my eyes and let the rest of the afternoon guide me to sleep …
Only minutes into [...]
Columbus is a moron 2008-10-13 13:37:35 In celebration of Columbus
Day, I would like to direct you to a blog entry I wrote last year in honor of this psuedo holiday.
While the rest of you are out there enjoying your Monday off from work, I will be happy to know that I have absolutely no part in the celebration of this [...]
I love boobies 2008-10-10 12:53:27 I am running in the 5th annual Liz Hurley Ribbon Run on Saturday, Oct. 18. The Ribbon Run benefits the Liz Hurley Breast Cancer Fund at Huntsville Hospital Foundation. The purpose of this fund is to provide diagnostic technology and support programs that create awareness about breast cancer.
How can you help?

Best Halloween film ever 2008-10-21 22:12:42 I posted a link to this video last year, but I am posting it again for the unfortunate souls that missed it the first time around. This is an awesome concept for a horror film. I only wish that I had thought of it first! Read more:Halloween
Snow over Alabama 2008-12-01 13:22:43 The cloudy sky threatens rain, but instead it brings a new surprise … snow.
Tiny white flakes fill the afternoon sky. The thermometer reads 37 degrees, but the temperature is dropping fast. Will any of this snow stay to play? Read more:Alabama
Did I forget your order? 2008-11-30 11:32:52 I would gladly wipe dirty butts and watch people bleed out of their eyeballs if it meant that I would never have to set foot in another restaurant where I am the waitress.
Coming up for air 2008-11-25 15:31:27 I floated to the surface of an almost frozen lake this morning and shouted to everyone that could hear … “I will survive.” The sound of Gloria Gaynor’s whiney voice played out the familiar tune in the background.
