The little things in life..

So i thought it very necessary to update on my spa experience today. i have to say that i was extremely pleased and very relaxed during my massage. and the spa was really nice too, got my own personal robe and treated like a queen for a few short hours. funny enough, i ran into a lady (not literally) in the locker room and she told me that she goes now once a month to get a massage, because you reach a point in your life when you realize you just need some time to yourself. i liked this lady's philosophy and have decided that when i grow up (here in a few months) and i'm making money - it'd be nice to, occasionally, take some time to myself. the way i see it - before i get married and start having children, if i can get in the habit of treating myself in this way - then once life gets crazy busy, it will already be apart of my routine! haha spoken like a true twenty two year old philosopher!




and in other news, today i saw one goose stop three lanes of traffic. quite amusing to me, who was not stopped but happened to be passing through the intersection where the goose decided to cross. and to top it all off, the goose was using the cross walk! he didnt look scared or nervous, just leisurely crossing the road..to get to the other side :)

like i said, its the little things in life.

enjoy<3 ..all the little things

a day for me :)


well, its finals week of semester number 2. which means, i only have one more semester to go before i am completely and finally done with school. these past two have gone so fast, i dont suspect anything different from this last one. and because it is finals week, i have decided to book an appointment at the spa ! tomorrow morning at 10 am for a 50 min massage. i'm soooo looking forward to it. i dont get a break in between these two semesters, so i thought, what better way to relax and forget about everything (especially upcoming decisions!) but to go to the spa. and to top it off, i have a gift card that i got at christmas from my dad and suzi. if you ever cant think of something to get someone, or you know someone who is on their feet all day.. this is a great gift. and the nice thing about it is, you can really find a spa anywhere. you go to spafinder.com and purchase a gift card and then the person can go on that website and type in their location and find all the spas near them that accept those gift cards. it doesnt get much better than that!!! especially if you're buying it for someone out of town. i highly recommend this gift. and, i cant wait to redeem mine tomorrow :)

so tomorrow, will be a day for me ! i hope you all take some time, away from busy schedules and stresses of life - for yourself. i truly believe that all the worries and stresses of this life have a huge impact on your health and well being; and if that gives you a good enough excuse to go to the spa and enjoy a day just for yourself.. do it :)

enjoy <3 ..i know i will

Sitting on the porch

So i'm sitting outside on my balcony, its beautiful outside. I have all this homework to do, because next week is finals week but i just cant stand to be inside. a rainy weekend would have been helpful, but i think i can solve this dilemma that i'm having, quite easily. I need to purchase a small table to put on my balcony, so that i can have the best of both worlds. i have two small chairs out there, so all i need is a small table, i think i'll have to make a trip out to get one. it only makes sense :)

well its only april, and still everyone wants to know what i am doing in august when i graduate. where am i going to work? i hear that in pittsburgh the job i do down here in virginia will change slightly in pa. in pa i'm not allowed to administer drugs, thats why when i search for jobs in pa, i only see they want RN's in the cath lab. this may present a problem for me in the near future, seeing as though i dont have my RN degree. INOVA will most likely be hiring a few of us, so i could potentially work down here, and would very much like to do that because its such a good hospital; however, it is lacking several things; mainly friends, family and brandon. oh boy. such choices i have to make here very soon.. i have to give my apt complex like 3 months advance notice before i move out of here.. cant very well move if i dont have a job in pa.. timing will be everything.

well in any case, i'll leave you with an amusing picture of brandon and i last weekend on a bike ride. who ever thought i'd be wearing a leather jacket. haha or riding on the back of the motorcycle for that matter. i told brandon if i get my license, i'll be driving and he'll be riding on the back... hahah
