Love is not written on paper, for paper can be erased.
Nor is it etched on stone, for stone can be broken.
But it is inscribed on a heart and there it shall remain forever. -unknown

Finally!! Good-Bye February. As much as I love this month {Valentines Day and my daughters Birthday}, I don’t like the weather that February brings to us here on the East Coast and I am just ready for Spring to arrive. And because I know Grammie would be chastising me right now for using the words Good-Bye., and because I really want to ‘see’ next February, I’ll say so-long February, until I see you again…

Yesterday the boys and I ran some errands and hit the grocery store for some much needed grocery shopping and even tackled the house. I don’t think I have ever thought of this before, but I have to tell you, I think the worst household chore is cleaning the bathroom. As I was scrubbing the bathtub I was thinking to myself that this is a very good reason to hire out.  Serious here.

Here is the after effects of creating one card this morning in my studio-

Never fails to amaze me how much of a mess I can make. And yeah, if you peeked in there right now, it would look pretty much the same as this.

Did a trip to Goodwill today, and look at this beauty!!

I love the painting, but love the frame more. Originally from TJ Max it was a steal for $4.99!! I have asked Keith if he would do a similar style painting to place in the frame. I have plans on hanging it in the bathroom.

Until tomorrow, hope your Saturday has been a great one!

Much I should be doing…like studying for this Psych exam on Monday, but well, instead I am perusing the internet and stumbled upon Our Creative Corner and decided to play along. For an extremely simple card I sure did make a mess in my art studio!!

I’ll be back later with a rambling Saturday post–

…into my life today.

7a awake and getting my morning dose of Matt Lauer, and for the record, YES, I still complain every morning when I have to look at and listen to Meredith. And I want to scream everytime she says something ignorant to Matt or when she hit’s him! And don’t even get me going about her wardrobe, hooker boots or lack of interviewing skills!!…
8a in the shower and dressed
9a on the road to lecture
10a-12:30p Part I of Renal Failure.
1p A visit to my sisters house to say hi and for a dose of love from my favorite nephew, Bryce
2p Small shopping-therapy 
3p Math exam
4p Finally Home!!
5p Took my girlfriend to the mechanics to pick up her vehicle
6p Home–and tired!!

I’ve ordered my Nursing Pin for our Pinning Ceremony, and my cap and gown for the graduation ceremony. The light is shining thru this long four year tunnel much brighter now!! Wow. I will sigh a huge sigh of relief when that degree is in my hands…and a bigger sigh of relief after I sit for the NCLEX and find out that I’ve passed it {hopefully June!!}, so until then, sorry friends, but this tunnel is still long and I am going to continue to be my nervous, anxiety ridden, psychotic self–oh, and I guess I shouldn’t mention that I have a number of signs/symptoms of Renal Failure. So, as you see, I’ll also continue to self diagnose myself thru each lecture.

I forgot to grab my camera with me this morning, and now I’m just plain too lazy to get up and snap a photo, so I figure because my post is heavy on life as a Nursing student I thought I’d share a photo of a beautiful ornament that my mother in law, Fran, gave me this past Christmas…{I have it hanging on one of my small dress forms in my art studio, and I look at it every day to remind me of my goal, thank you again Fran, it truly means the world to me!!}

Until tomorrow, I hope your day was a beautiful one, and again, thank you for all of your kind comments/emails.

Cause it’s Wednesday and I have a feeling that we are in for a bumpy ride on LOST tonight.

Yeah, I know, I need an effing life!

Walked into my art Studio today for a moment, then lost the fraction of creativity that I had. Hate when that happens.

I did notice that I need to pack up my Valentine specific rubberstamps. This pink tray is sitting on my book case. The stamps inside the two glass containers hold a few of my most favorite stamps that I tend to use a lot, or I have specific plans/ideas for them. The stamps out front there are switched out typically every month or so, usually by holidays. You can’t really see them, but to the right are my SU! stamps, again, favorite stamps that I try to keep within reach.

I would love to hear/see your system if you are up to sharing with me.

Until next time-

Yeah, I am really thinking about LOST and wishing I could figure out the direction the writers are sending me in, cause, man, am I lost!! And where the hell is Aaron!?

I worked the overnight shift at the group home last night. I was too lazy to pull out the roll away bed and ended up setting up the couch. Woke up at 5am with a reminder of why that is such a bad, bad idea! Damn, I am getting old. One of the clients asked me if I would take him to a chess tournament and to see the Globetrotters next month, so I signed up to take him. He was so funny this morning. As I was leaving the house at 7am he was making hot dogs and beans for breakfast. I commented that he was a cowboy as that was a cowboy meal and he laughed agreeing that he was a cowboy. He then asked me if I would go to the movies with him. I told him that it depended on my calendar/the schedule and he said, “Well Jenny, it wouldn’t be a date, with you being married to Keith, it would just be a movie.” Oh my gosh, I thought I would pee my pants when he added that piece of important information. Last night was my first shift back at the house since the early part of October, and I had forgotten how much I missed the clients.

The morning is ticking by and I have much to accomplish related to reading and trying to get these ‘ole brain cells fired up. So, I’m going to fasten my seatbelt and {attempt} to remain focused {did I mention there is a Twilight Zone marathon on Sci Fi!!} and because I am thinking about sun and warmth and no responsibilities here’s a photo of one of my favorite places to relax and read a good book–Sandy Point Beach…

Until tomorrow, Happy Tuesday friends–

22 years ago this beautiful young woman took her first breath, and took my breath away in the same instance. And 22 years later she is still continuing to take my breath away. I love you Toni, and couldn’t have asked for a more perfect daughter. Happy, Happy Birthday!!
