Weekend Leave

So as most of you probably know, this Wednesday through Friday I spent on a ship. It has been a really cool experience so far. I am one of the only ROTC kids so I have been meeting lots of Naval Academy mids. I have been paired with someone who works with air traffic control but since I'm a nursing student she lets me go down to the medical bay to shadow there.

A bunch of us in the well deck of the ship.
Then, once the weekend came a bunch of us decided to take a trip to Virginia Beach. We're staying in a hotel right on the beach!


Some of the boys digging a giant hole.
Ready to go out to dinner!

What are you up to this weekend?

Have you ever been to VA beach?

    Looks like a great weekend! Are you on a LSD? What resturant? There is one I highly recommend in VB, but I don't remember the name...I hope you're getting good use out of the new bathing suits you bought. Have a fine Navy day. <2

    Wow! What an amazing experience! You are going to be SO ready! :)

    Since I went to William and Mary for undergrad, Virginia Beach was the closest "warm weather" locale so we went when we could! It is a fun beach town! They also have some amazing (and flat!) races! I loved going there and people watching on the boardwalk--so many "interesting" people!

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 Art...

Super Tuesday

Image
Yes, I know it's Wednesday, but I went to bed at 9 last night (I'm a grandma) and all the states hadn't reported their winners. If you don't know what Super Tuesday is, its the day where there are the most primaries for the primary election. To win the Republican nomination a candidate must get 1,144 delegates and over 400 of them were at stake yesterday. So at the end of the night last night Romney had won Arkansas, Idaho, Virginia, Ohio, Massachusetts (his home state) and Vermont. Santorum won North Dakota, Tennessee and Oklahoma, Gingrich won his home state or Georgia and Ron Paul didn't win anything. Since these results were so divided it really didn't lead the Republicans any closer to choosing a nominee. Romney gives his victory speech in Boston. But that is all very technical. Even though Santorum has won a few states, to me it seems HIGHLY likely that Romney will win the nomination. For another candidate to win, they would have to start domintat...

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...
