nightly blah

(this is my dad's pic =) he's a good photographer!)

each new day brings new insight on just how freakishly similar i am becoming to my parents...
1. I have the CONSTANT and never ending urge to just keep cleaning the house, yet i can never seem to keep it clean
2. I pop pain killers like candy (thanks Pops)

anyways. sooooo i'm working nights again. i get a lot done on the internet! lol.

i am pretty blessed to have such a wonderful husband, i must say. he puts up with me even at my worse. i don't know how he does it! but i just wanna say thank you sweetie, and that i love you. i'm sorry for being ME sometimes. it must be frustrating. i promise to try to be better always!! you're the best David =)

another thing i need to work on... my attitude towards work. i have a GREAT job, but for some reason i can't stand going. what's wrong with me? why so bitter? i just can't put my finger on it. the only thing i can think of is that it's just my bad attitude. why can't i just be happy! oooOOOoooohhhhh.... that's another thing from my dad - a negative attitude! aahhhhh!! maybe that's it. well anyways, that's why i'm working nights now!! my theory: i get paid the most to do the least amount of work! what a great concept! yah cuz working nights gets you the most mula as an x-ray tech. =D

on another note, my list of things to do is ENDLESS. too much to list! the stresses of life will never seem to end. is there a way to just avoid this? is there a way to just ACCEPT the fact that there will ALWAYS be a tremendous list of things to do and that's just how life goes? sometimes i feel like i can just do it all. that one day, my checklist will be complete and i can finally relax. i'm not really sure.

anyways!! here's just one of those silly just-for-fun surveys. and now i'm done for the night!

greatest day of my life thus far - June 28 2008... *sigh*

it has been quite the adventure so far. i have learned so many new things that i have never known before! just about how to survive life in general. i feel like a "Sim" so far... my levels have increased in cooking and mechanical the most lol. i love to build stuff!!

most recently i cooked spaghetti from SCRATCH! yeah yeah... i know this may sound pretty stupid and pretty simple, but i have NEVER done it before. and i actually followed the recipe from top to bottom. it turned out great! however, i had a few "set-backs" along the way. some of the things i have learned from making this spaghetti is:

1. Don't ever try to cook a 2 Kg package of spaghetti thinking it is a normal amount to cook
2. Don't try to pan-fry raw ground beef that has not been defrosted at ALL
3. I need a bigger pot

asides from cooking disasters, i am much better suited for doing handy work around the house, building stuff! most recently, i have installed DRAPES! amazing! well, it is quite an acomplishment for me, okay? i have never approached that kind of project before. i used a drill (that's right, i bought my very own drill!), drilled in the brackets, put up the rod, and hung up those drapes, ALL BY MYSELF. that's right, no help was recieved! and i liked it that way! it was fun, and it actually looks good, professional.

well i kinda needed to put up drapes ASAP due to my most recent acceptance into a NIGHTS position at the hospital. now i can sleep during the day and it will feel like the night! because i couldn't just get ANY type of drapes... oh no... they are BLACK-OUT drapes!! no light! perfection! and cozy =)

my past successful projects have been building a bookshelf, and building an over-the-commode shelving unit for the bathroom, and a few other small things around the house. many more to come!

so i'm on a night shift right now... and that's why i seem to have all the time in the world right now to write this blog! i love nights! get paid to go on the internet! with the ocassional moments of x-raying a patient. it's pretty great! except i'm pretty sleepy right now =S

here are some fun questions 2 get 2 know me... well i'm bored, just found them on the internet:

1. Favorite ice cream: Chocolate of course! ANYTHING with chocolate!
2. Favorite book: At the moment, it's TWILIGHT! i love Vampires!
3. Quality you most admire in your spouse: David's big heart and gentle nature, and his love for the Lord
4. Favorite way to spend your day: If i'm lazy, watching TV season DVD's. If not so lazy, being with FRIENDS doing anything!
5. How many kids you'd like to have: 3 if i'm lucky!
6. Favorite local eatery: Olive Garden!
7. Favorite candy: Does chocolate count as candy?

most recent addiction: watching Gossip Girl Season 1!!! i am so glad David is into it too... he calls himself Gossip Boy! and signs everything he writes with "XOXO Gossip Boy" at the end. geek. well anyways, it's a must. GG S.2 starts Sept. 1st!! it's coming soon!!!

anyways i need to stop writing now! my tired and exhausted eyes can't take reading anymore! more blogging soon to come =D
