Phat or Pad??

I could have sworn the Tomy Thai menu said “Phat See Ew”, but everything online is “Pad See Ew”…regardless, I feel FAT because I ate ALL the noodles!  Sooo yummy…

Belle had “Drunken Noodles”.   We dropped her leftovers at the ED for Pete.  I wish we hadn’t done that….

After Work

This is how I feel when I get home from work....

I'm Still Here!

I'm still around...I know it's been almost a year since I've posted. I've been slaving away in nursing school! I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel and I'm feeling that itch to start blogging again. I'll be graduating in December so I have two more semesters to go. I can't believe how fast time has gone by and how much I've learned. I've seen a lot of interesting things and met a lot of even more interesting people. The gals in my clinical group are fantastic and hope I can introduce some of them to you all this summer. I need to figure out how to upload photos from my phone so I can share some nursing school craziness!

Gearing Up for Gardening

The above quilt is my next big project: Aunt Millie's Garden by Piece O' Cake designs. I have found that I absolutely love to applique and this, my friends, will certainly feed my desire to do some "needle-turnin". I'm gathering my reds and I hope I'll be able to use a lot of my personal stash for this one. I'm also glad I came across this post about using Glad Press n Seal as an applique placement sheet..very neat idea and less expensive than the upholstery vinyl.

Speaking of applique, this neat blog header over at Will Work for Fabric makes me happy!!

1-2 Victory Check

One of my favorite songs...funky!

I Heart Birds...Kinda

Belle and I have been learning about birds using this book. I am starting to think that I really like birds...as long as they are not flapping around my head. Ack!! Well...and the fact that they eat worms could cause a change of heart...ack again!

Today we learned specifically about the feather...the shaft, quill, vanes, barbs and barbules. I think it's incredibly neat how God created the barbs to "zip" and "unzip"...it's really mind-boggling how He created all of these things, isn't it?

Here are some neat videos we've come across:

Click HERE to see the neatest lyrebird video ever! It's a recording that was captured for the BBC Wildlife documentary "The Life of Birds"...very neat!!

Belle's little cheer to go along with the video: "Dance, dance, dance, dance(say this as long as they are dancing)....check your pit--Whoo!!" I just about spewed Sprite everywhere when she said that!! By the way, these are albatrosses doing their courting dance. Again...quite neat! lol!

I Heart Doodlebug Designs!

Judi pimped my blog!!! I love, love, love this Christmas theme...seriously, Judi does the absolute best designs and I'm not just saying that because she is one of my most favorite people here on this ol' earth! She's a gooder...now, go check out her gallery!!
