Halloween Dress-up

So I totally skipped over days 6 and 7...I suck. So today Dan and I drove 2 1/2 hours up to a place called Devil's Lake. It's this beautiful hiking spot, over this lake. And it was so great to go during the fall because of all the pretty fall colors. So here are some fun pictures from the hiking spot.

Looking over the Lake


Yeah fun hiking times. Anyways, so I am trying to brain storm some fun costume ideas for Halloween because Dan and I are planning to go spend Halloween in Chicago with our besties. Well, I just watched Factory Girl the other day, that movie about Edie Sedgwick and Andy Warhol, anyways, so now I am totally inspired to dress up like mod 60's-ish clothes. I think that would be so much fun. I kinda wanna wear a blonde wig, and super dark black eyeliner and eyeshadow so I kinda look like Edie. But then I"ll probably just wear a black top, black mini skirt, black tights and some black flats. Totally mod. I am trying to talk Dan into dressing up like Andy Warhol, cause then we would go together. So I am thinking he should get a blonde wig too, and then he can just wear all black too with black sunglasses. Fun times. I think it's fun to dress up as a famous couple. Oh and I'll have to get some really huge "shoulder duster" earrings!! Does anyone know where to find some???
Anyways I hope everyone has a fabulous week!

Day 5: Thursday

Usual busy day
-Up at five when Dan left to go back to Chicago (it's been kinda hard with him working in Chicago these past 3 weeks, he's pretty much only been home on the weekends. And he has two more weeks of being down there!!)
-Feel back asleep and then work up at nine, I wanted to wake up at seven but I was way too tired
-Made my coffee
-On the internet for a bit, my internet kept freezing, so annoying!

-Dan called to say good morning, I think he's been worried about me since I had my little "panic attack"
-Called my Dr. to find out if she thought I should come in and get checked out, left a message
-Did only like 20 mins of pilates. I've have been such a slacker with working out since school started this semester. I hardly ever get any cardio in, just usually do some pilates. Oh well, I guess it's better than nothing.
-Watched my DVR'd episode of The Island, it's such a great, cheesy, drama-reality show on MTV!! Love it!
-Put some dishes away
-Made the bed
-Watched an episode of Will and Grace
-Ate some lowfat yogurt for breakfast, wasn't really hungry
-Showered and got ready for class
-On my way to class, Nursing Health Promotions

-A not so great pic of my school
-Snacked on a granola bar and some string cheese in class, oh and a diet coke
-Got home and made some late lunch/early dinner. Whole wheat pasta with mushrooms, tomotoes, and snowpeas. Had a chai tea with skim milk

-Looking at the pics of my honey on our fridge, and missing him!

-Majorly need to go grocery shopping, but probably wont get to it till this weekend.
-Getting ready for work

-Off to work, my usual traffic commute. It takes me about 45 mins to get about 15 miles!!

-Work was busy, left around eleven and made it home around 11:30.
-Had a glass of wine, and watched some t.v. and before I knew it it was One a.m...I havent stayed up that long in forever!!
-off to bed for me!

Tuesday-

My self portrait of the day

-My usual daily stuff, neverending HOMEWORK!!!

-Worked out for 30 minutes or so, awesome self portrait in my workout clothes

-Time to get ready for work. I love my new makeup desk!!

-Worked till 10!! Work was busy, crazy...
-I totally had a panic attack on the way home from work. So crazy. I was driving and all of a sudden I felt like I was going to black out, I started sweating, shaking, I had chest pain, a headache, and both of my arms were numb and tingling. And I seriously felt like I was going to die. It only lasted a few minutes, but seriously it was really scary. I kinda wanna talk to someone else who's had a panic attack, to find out if they felt the same way. So scary.
-So tired by the time I got home, but on the pj's and jumped into bed
-Read like two pages in my book, and finally tried to fall asleep at midnight (good times, especially since I had to wake up at 6 again the next day)

Wednesday (I didn't get any pics)
-Up at 6 am and felt like crap. I did not sleep at all the night before. Seriously I was up every 1/2 hour, looking at the clock...
-Made my coffee and jumped in the shower
-Had to leave by 6:45, so didn't have to much time to get ready
-Off to clinicals (hoo-ray...not really)
- long day at clincals, very busy patient with tons of stuff going on
-Was so ready to get out of there!!
-Home, and seriously vegged out on the sofa for like two hours. Oh and I was super starving so I ate a quesidilla, a cup of blueberries, some mint chocolate chip ice cream, and popcorn. Pigged out.
-Then homework
-Then more vegging out
-Then off to bed
.....This was a long, boring day. I'll put some pics, and more exciting stuff in for tomorrow!

Day 2: Monday

I'm not joking, I couldn't have picked a busier week to do this project. I work every other week, and this just happens to be my week to work. Plus school, plus a million other things i need to do. So here it goes, Monday:

-Headed to class, Health Alterations (3 hours long!! aghh) and learned about all disease of the cardiovasular system. good times!
-Headed straight from class to work
-Got to work early and ate some chicken noodle soup, a banana, and some chocolate milk
-Work was it's usual crazy busy self, but I totally pigged out on about a hundred peanut mnm's that someone brought it
-Done with work and go home
-I hate when Dan is away on business trips cause I freak myself out at night being by myself, so I went to bed at midnight with the kitchen, dining room and office light on, and the T.V....you know to try to scare away any ghosts or burglars or anything.
And yeah I get to wake up the next morning at 6am. More tomorrow. Ta

M.I.A

Ok..so I haven't blogged in a long, long, long time, and I don't know why all of a sudden I want to blog again, but I do. Anyways, what have we missed in the past year since I've blogged last. Not too much. Finished my first semester of nursing school, and am currently in my second semester (one more year to go, hoo-ray!!) Moved in to a fabulous house with the b.f. (i will post some pics)...dang, I guess that's about it. Nothing exciting, or new, or anything. hmm... oh, I did break my ankle in March, and while that was definitly not exciting, it was sure new. I slipt on some ice and fell, got surgery, including a plate and 6 screws, and almost had to re-take last semester. No Fun!! And now that the weather is getting colder, I am reminded of last winter and the ice, and me falling and breakng my ankle..and it makes me very nervous!! Anyways, here's a few pictures of some of the things that happened to me in this past year.
Snowboard trip to Lake Tahoe in January
