Suit Purchase

Well, no giant revelations about life to report. Just wanted to let you know that the other day, I bought my very first suit. It was pretty exciting. Larry helped me out. He has been working there for 27 years. That's a long time. I pick it up Friday. I still need to purchase a dress shirt and tie to accompany my wardrobe. That's it for now. Back to studying. The big day is on September 29.

A Hint of Basil

I received a pack of basil seeds prior to leaving school. Since then, I have planted, watered, and nurtured those little seeds. And they have grown to be a beautiful plant. I am so proud. This is the first experience that I have really had with basil. I've decided that I heart plants. If you have any basil tips or recipes please share.

Another Summer's Day

I have been inspired to do more blogging these days (thanks erin!). I mean everyone likes to know what everyone else is doing right?

So the other day I was becoming quite anxious (about what?...well, career ideas, NCLEX-RN preparations, broken computers, etc) so I decided to go on a drive around town. Like most things in my life, the drive around town turned into an adventure. I discovered that the next town over, Mentor, is the nation's best location for growing roses. Who knew?! Apparently the combination of soil and lake weather is a perfect fit for roses. The things you learn. Then for fun I tried on eyeglass frames that cost over $200. That was fun. My expedition was nearing the lunch hour, so I stopped at my favorite place, Chick-fil-a. I couldn't help but eat outside on the patio while reading the day's paper (yes, I am 22 years old not 63). Anyways, the manager was cleaning the windows with a noisy squeegee (emphasis on noisy). Actually, it wasn't that loud, but the manager said I could go order a free dessert for the disturbance. Chick-fil-a just keeps getting better (yes, I am easily pleased).

Well, I feel like more happened that day, but that is all I can remember. Oh well.

Today, my satisfaction in public libraries has only increased. Free books, movies, computers, etc. The beauty of our tax dollars at work.

I Like Me

You know what I realized over the Christmas break. I really like who I am when I am reading a book. I like that it makes me think and that it causes me to share my thoughts with other people. I like that.
