I am so high-tech and awesome, it's scary.

I realized as I was sitting here pondering life and awesomeness, that I probably don't blog as much as I should because I have two different blogs and it's sometimes a hassle to deal with them both. OK, to be fair, I haven't posted to my nursing-related blog since I started working as an actual nurse...see what I mean by hassle?

So, in a sheer move of awesomeness, I merged them together. You now have all my musings in one convenient place. Ta da! And though no one else reads this...it's kind of neat to go back and read everything I've written over the years. Probably what keeping a journal is like, only I suck at keeping journals, too.

I was tagged...I feel so special!!!

Wow, welcome to the Blogosphere!!! I have been tagged with "The Honest Scrap" award and I now must do the following:
1. “The Honest Scrap” award is not one to hold all to your self but it must be shared!
2. First, the recipient has to tell 10 true things about themselves in their blog that no one else knows.
3. Second, the recipient has to pass along this prestigious award to 10 more bloggers.
4. Third, those 10 bloggers all have to be notified they have been given this award.
5. Those 10 bloggers that receive this award should link back to the blog that awarded them “The Honest Scrap’ award. (i'm not sure I know how to do that, but I'll give it a whirl)

So....my ten things are:
1) I took pictures of myself in my underwear today (trying to log my weight loss progress without getting on the scale)
2) Sometimes I get french fries at McDo and then hide the wrappers so no one knows my dirty little secret
3) I am painfully shy and self conscious
4) I hate advertising and think it's the stupidest endeavor ever and can't believe I wasted so much of my life doing it
5) Every now and then I feel maternal...but then I make a full recovery
6) I have an unhealthy obsession with pens
7) I used to drink way too much but now I don't
8) I absolutely love how quiet my house is
9) I called a pet psychic after my cat died. Twice.
10) I realize #5 makes me sound bitchy...it's not the kids I don't like, it's the parenting, watching, babysitting, constantly-making-sure-they-don't-kill-themselves-ing, the cajoling, the negotiating, the disciplining, the repeating, the diaper changing, the potty training, the cleaning, the burping and the noise that do not appeal to me. This is why I am better suited for Aunt-hood.

Ok, so I guess I have to do some linking now...I guess I'll just tag the people whose blogs I read...

http://livingdeadnursepsychoward.blogspot.com/
http://nzstudentnurse.blogspot.com/
http://wardbunny.blogspot.com/
http://nursinganatomy.blogspot.com/

Ok, that's enough linking for someone who doesn't know how to do it very well or efficiently. In fact, I'm not really sure what I do now? Blog Newbie here! I do know that I really need to get on the big stick and blog more so I can win one of those cool blogger awards!!! Nothing like setting your sights high, I say!

Me and Susan Boyle have so much in common....

...mainly that we have FOLLOWERS! I just noticed I now have 6 followers and it's making me feel all tingly inside. Ok, that's nothing compared to the millions of hits the Susan Boyle youtube videos have garnered, but still...Rome wasn't built in a day!

On the off-chance that my fans (ok, followers) are pre-nursing students, I thought you might find this helpful...I made a website to help other students along their journey (http://web.mac.com/maureenosuna/iWeb/School/Home.html)...it's chock-full of mainly my anal A&P notes, but I hope to add more goods as time goes on. Oh there's a highly entertaining blog of me doing audio notes for some of my classes...great for those nights when you can't fall asleep!

This coming week is the Clinical Week from Hell...which I will now call Hell Week. I've got clinical on Tuesday (1 patient) and then back-to-back Saturday and Sunday with 2 patients. I also have a comprehensive physical assessment check-off on Wednesday and a group presentation Monday morning.

Wish me luck! I'll repot back Sunday night as I enjoy a glass of wine and soak my feet!

Is Anybody Watching???

I just learned that my super uber-blogging brother just posted MY blog on HIS blog, which is read by oodles and oodles of ubergeeks. Great...now I have to try to be entertaining, interesting, witty and adorable so that I don't embarass the King Geek of them all, my uber-entertaining, uber-interesting, uber-witty and (yes, it's true) uber-adorable big brother.

Hmmmm.....I'll get started on that straight away.

Since I'm not geekly enough to figure out how to do a hyperlink, here is the URL for his King Daddy Blog of Them All: http://www.geekweekonline.com.
