CADBURY MINI-EGGS ARE EVIL

This is the year I am going to do it. I am going to sue Cadbury. Every single year in February, the Mini Eggs by Cadbury with the crispy shell and the solid chocolate in the center, begin hitting the shelves. And, every year, I threaten to sue.

I am ADDICTED to them. I try so hard to just buy a small individual sized bag, but that never works out. At the last minute, I always grab the family sized bag and then I proceed to eat half the bag on the ride home.

Did I write a blog about this last year? I might have. I am very passionate about these evil little chocolate eggs. I think Cadbury should be sued for making something so unhealthy taste so good and have such an addictive quality.

While writing this blog, which has taken about 2 minutes, I think I have eaten 10 more eggs. I've changed my mind about suing them now. If I did, and they went out of business, how would I get my fix next February-April? Don't judge me!

VALENTINE'S DAY 2009

For Valentine's Day this year, we decided to eat dinner at our favorite restaurant. It is called Pixie & Bill's and it is located in Clemson, SC. If you ever come through this way, check it out.

Of course, I had to take pictures. Before we left, we took a couple of self-pictures which always turn out hysterical. The one of us above is in the Jeep right before we left. I told Will that I thought it would be sweet to have a kiss on the cheek picture. What was supposed to be a romantic shot turned into a picture of us looking drunk. It definitely shows "us". We are dorky that way.

Once we arrived, we discovered that our reservation time was listed as 8:00, even though they told us 7:30. They decided to go ahead and sit us, but we ended up near the kitchen. Will pouted for at least 10 minutes. He will comment on this blog and say he wasn't pouting, but he was. I think I know that man after 15 years of marriage.

Our waiter was quite the character. Think Jack from Will & Grace. After he gave us an endless list of seafood specials, we both ordered steak and potatoes. For dessert, we shared a Snicker's pie which was very, very good.

The picture of us above leaning over the dessert was taken after I told the waiter that it was our first date. He clutched his chest and said, "Awwwww…..that is sooooooo sweet!" Will stuttered and stammered trying to tell him I was joking, but he was gone in a flash. It was extremely funny.

After we received our check, we washed dishes to pay for it, and headed home. Another Valentine's Day, come and gone.

November 2007 to Present

I am attempting to clean my office up. I couldn't resist snapping a quick picture of the books and notes I have used from November 2007 to present for nursing school.

Wow! I'm not sure the picture does it justice. It looks like the Eiffel Tower from this vantage point. A lot of of blood, sweat, and tears have been shed over all these pages upon pages of information.

On Monday, I will be done with Med-Surg III. On Thursday, I start pediatric nursing (my calling). I will graduate at the end of October of this year. I'll have to take another picture then to show all of the additional books I will have to buy and the additional notes I will have to take.

The stress that nursing school has brought to my life so far can not even be explained. It has taken its toll on my health and added several gray hairs to my head. However, I know it will all be worth it in the end, right? Right!

I think I can....I think I can....I think I can....
