Spring Break

Today is the last day of Spring break and I have been studying ALL DAY. So I decided to take a break and write about my break. As you probably know I took a road trip home with my friend Meredith. We got to my house around dinner time so I took her out for some crab cakes! She left the next morning so I had the rest of the week to run errands go shopping.

Meredith's first Maryland crab cake! (sorry
it's blurry!)

Actually, I did run some errands. I went to the doctor (I had a sinus infection when I got home), got my watch fixed (I don't know how I wore a running watch all throughout high school but now when my dress watch breaks and I have to wear a running watch I feel silly.), fixed my bank accounts and got a desperately needed pedicure (does that count as an errand?).

I also visited with lots of family and friends. My aunt, uncle and cousin came to my grandmother's for some delicious white chili and lemon cake. I also went down to Virginia to visit with my other aunt and little cousins. On Friday I picked my friend Megan up from the airport and we went down to College Park.

We went ice skating...sort of. Well it wasn't really ice so we
just took a picture and left.

When I wasn't running errands or visiting with people I was shopping. I went to the Gap, Ann Taylor, Kohl's, DSW, Greetings and Readings, Old Navy, an accessory store called Charming Charlie's and a resale store. Whew! I have been saving money and not shopping for the last couple months so that I could buy some Summer clothes during break. Also, not everything was for me, I caught up on some long overdue birthday and Christmas presents (sorry Haley!) and picked up some East Coast treats for Meredith (salt water taffy and Fisher's Popcorn anyone?)


I bought this shirt at the Loft but I stained it the
 first time I wore it! Hopefully I can get it out!
All in all it was a very nice break. I could have been more productive (running more and doing more homework) but it's called break for a reason! Now it's crunch time for the rest of the semester. I have 7 weeks of back to back assignments, exams and commitments. Wish me luck!

How did you/ do you plan on spending your Spring break?

Have you bought any new clothes lately?

    It sounds like you were very productive!!! I am impressed! I bought a couple things when I went to Chicago with my mom. We picked out a dress for me to wear to Chase's medical school graduation--now I just need to find a great pair of shoes!

11 Things

So one of my favorite blogs Paleorunnergirl just did this post and I thought it would be fun! So here you go: 1. What is your favorite meal? You know…I really just love food. But these days I would have to say crab cakes and broccoli. 2. How many times have you been in love? Zero. 3. What is your Starbuck’s order? I used to work there so this is a very loaded question. Here are my top 5: -Tall soy no water chai light foam -Tall Americano in a Grande cup with extra room (I add 2% milk and equal myself) -Double tall soy latte light foam -Venti iced passion tea 6 shots sugar free vanilla, no classic light water light ice -Tall espresso frappacino, no frappucino roast skim milk no whip  You had no idea how loaded of a question that was! 4. Action/Comedy/Drama/ or Romantic Comedy? Romantic comedies all.the.way.  My favorite romcom. I like them all though! 5. What was your favorite TV show when you were a kid? When I was really little I liked Arthur. 6.

What you didn't know about nursing school

Image
So usually I do a Sunday post but I just didn't have time this weekend! I had an anatomy test at 9 on Monday morning so I basically spent all weekend studying (there was a little time spent watching the super bowl and relaxing with friends.) But since I have been spending so much time doing school work this semester I decided I would give you a glimpse into what it's like! First and foremost the nursing school is really disorganized so we have a Facebook group to keep us sane. Whether it's about anatomy, football tickets or getting a ride somewhere, if you have a question, you post it here for a guaranteed answer. There is also some shenanigans on the nursing Facebook page...a lot of posts like this: U Mich nursing students love cats...and memes And this: That's what happens when your major is almost all girls! Not only are we connected virtually but we have all of our classes together so we're together all the time!  We walk together Off to the

Whining While Working Out

Image
I know I haven't blogged in a while...I do think about it a lot but I haven't had anything exciting to say! I'm still just babysitting and working out. But working out is the key part...I have had some REALLY hard workouts. Sunday (mother's day) I went out intending to run for 70 minutes and by about 45 I thought I was going to die. I mean not really die but I thought about asking someone if I could borrow their phone so I could get a ride home. It. was. awful. I mean I guess this is true...but I was pathetic. Then Monday I reluctantly put on my running shoes but then I looked outside and it was raining and I just decided to do laundry instead. Tuesday I had an okay 40 minutes on the elliptical while watching Sex and the City (thanks for lending it to me Sara!). I also visited my aunt, uncle and 2 cousins so it was a nice day. Me with the newest addition to the family. Then today I decided I would do a hill workout. I ran about a mile to a field that
