2 weeks in 1 blog

I have finally finished my painting and it I am very happy with it. over the last 3 weeks it was flying by so quick i didn't take that many pictures but here are the ones leading up to the finish of the project

And then finally I was don't and it ended up looking like this:

A lot of people have asked me if I used a stencil, but its as big as my wall, and i didn't even know they made them that big. I actually brought the image up on my computer and would look at it from the other side of my room and drew it free hand like that. there are definitely mistakes on, but I love it and am hoping to put something on the opposite wall. How's that for Talent Shelby?

Anyway, Ash Wednesday is today meaning its time to start lent. as my lent I'm actually taking a tip from our Muslim brothers and doing a Ramadan type thing. I'm not going to eat for 40 days while the suns up, all i have to make sure I do is not pig out when the sun goes down which I believe I can do. As Shelby said hopefully it will get nice out so I can start riding my bike to school and work and loose some access weight.

to respond to KT's blog, I have almost all of the True Beauty's recorded on my DVR, but I guess I can just delete them now that I know who wins!!! try a spoiler alert next time please!!!! But yeah that girl was pretty nice, and definitely nice looking so she was a good choice.

Last but not least on my blog I wanted to remind everybody that The Watchmen Comes out in a week and a half, I'm so excited I'm pretty sure I'm going at midnight. Hopefully I can find some one that has read it so they can go with me.

Well that's about all I have, until next week when I'll probably talk about how excited I am for Watchmen

Hello World

Here I go again on my reality TV...Ya Julia won "True Beauty" last night, and she was a good pick, I do agree! I still don't think Joel should have made it as far as he did (runner up), especially in terms of "inner beauty". If you don't know, the show picked a bunch of really beautiful people and didn't tell them the show was about inner and outer beauty (whoever wins gets to be in People Magazine's 100 most beautiful people issue and win $100,000), in the end Julia was the winner with the most inner and outer beauty. It was kind of a lame show, but I got into it, go figure
The Bachelor's final show is next Monday and I am super excited to see who he picks, and how he handles Deanna coming back! I think that part is just for show, but who knows maybe he will want her back after all!

Ok no more reality tv (although I am excited our computer finally let us put pictures up!), how bout the weather?! It's awesome today! Until it snows again, like I think it is supposed to...ah well I love snow!
Until next time...

Facebook Facts / Stats

I thought this would interest someone. Here are the recent Facebook stats from today.

Untitled

Riley is actually lying about us running. There is no way im going to get up on a saturday morning to train for a 5K. Hes just jealous because I don't even need to train for the non existant 5k. Once the weather is nice Riley and I are going to have bike races though. Im totally going to win. This week has been pretty slow since I had tests in ALL of my classes last week. And then there was that crazy crazy snow storm. They were predicting 4-6 inches but that usually means we get nothing. I was supposed to go to the state BSNA convention in North Platte but that was cancelled so hopefully we will be able to go next year because it seems like it would be a really interesting experience.

P.S. Riley has no TALENT

Riley's Boring Blog

Its a boring blog because i cant attach any pictures! I finished my painting behind my bed, but I cant show you guys how awesome it is. But if you really wanna see it you can come find me and I'll show you the picture on my phone. My lossing weight went south now that its the third week, but its ok. Because Shelby asked me if I wanted to help her train for a 5 k, so it looks like I'll be running with shelby EVERY DAY!!! and hopefully the weathwer starts to get better so I can start riding my bike to school again. Then the pounds will start to go (that's the plan anyway) Kt, I gotta tell you those dogs look very upset about something, I want a real Beagle those things ROCK!!! I'm glad you had a Happy Valentines though, mine was decent.
See boring blog, hopefully next time the computer will let me put pictures on my blog

Happy Late Valentines Day!

I didn't do a whole lot for the holiday, just made some spaghetti at home and watched a movie with my man and his roomies, yes how romantic. haha. I did get a really cozy super soft blanket and pillow that I now sleep with every night, so that definatley made my day! (added to the 7 other pillows and 4 stuffed animals and 2 blankets that I already sleep with)


I know you may be sick of my dog pictures, but I decided I want a "puggle" which is a mix of a pug and beagle! They are sooo cute! So along with my puggle that I want, my boyfriend decided he wants a french mastiff...if you don't know what these are, they are HUGE!
But they are adorable as well. We figured they could be friends! :)

On another note, school is speeding up, and things are getting pretty interesting. I find myself struggling to let myself be ok with making really stupid mistakes on tests, as my last test displayed. I was pretty stressed about it for 4 days post test...(if you don't know this, I am extremely hard on myself when it comes to tests and school, not always such a pleasant thing) and yes I am still struggling with letting myself accept it (ok so I didn't do that bad, but I am not happy with myself regardless).
So besides the wonderful test world, our days of scanning are coming along well. I still look forward to every Wednesday where we get to learn a new skill or view while scanning the heart. I am actually dreaming about scanning now, which is pretty cool because I love dreaming about what I love to do, so yeah double bonus! Cheezy I know, but it's true, I seriously love this stuff more and more everyday!
ok I won't bore you with any more school stuff.
Until next time...

Riley is planning on shedding the POUNDS!!!!

Today while looking in the health section of CNN.com for a story to blog about I found an 8 week activity plan. Its free, shows videos of your work outs and helps you choose what to eat. I started off with a weight of 232, waist 42 in, and after a long debate about what it means 43 in hips. today, since i started after i ate lunch, (pizza and breadsticks) I am already behind since i was suppose to eat fish and rice. Oops. but that just means after my regular work out im going to do some yoga. some of the food they are suggesting, im going to have to pass on, such as a breakfast shake, and stuff like that. but i will be cutting down on stuff like pop and greasy foods. I hope to be 220 pounds by the end of april.
on another note Ive been painting a design on my wall and thought id keep you guys that look at the blog up to date on the progress...

Hello Again

so...unlike Riley and Shelby...I completely love snow and wintery weather...

I had found an awesome snowy picture that had snowflakes with cute adorable dogs, but I couldn't get it to upload on the other computer so I had to find a different one. Penguins are probably my second favorite animal, next to dogs, so I figured why not put them on here instead? Aren't they cute!

I have officially had my first test of the semester in Core 1, it was a lot of review, which was nice, but it was of course still challenging. Things are going very well and I am loving skills lab where we actually get to scan. And I am quickly learning that I will need a lot more volunteers than I thought, so anyone out there that wants to check out adult cardiac sonography, or just wants a sonogram of their heart, let me know and I can scan you and show you the lab!

Outside of school, I have been trying hard to get my workouts to fit into my daily routine. I am always finding myself ready to go to the gym around 5 or 5:30 (pm of course) which is the worst time to go becuase it is soooo crowded!

Ok so I just had to put a doggie on here...how cute is this?
This one reminds me of Sara's (one of our admission counselors) dogs.

Ok so I am totally wanting a dog REALLY bad, possibly for when I go to clinicals. I don't want to be too lonely!! :) Any ideas out there let me know, we will try to make this thing interactive? Which dog would be a good cuddle dog (medium sized), that can be home for several hours at a time, doesn't bark, and doesn't shed a lot, but is a good guard dog, but not mean (so I can feel safe)?

So I went to the BEST concert ever! coheed's set was short but i was going crazy, so if they would have been on for much longer I may have passed out from excitement. I almost got kicked out for crowd surfing to much, It was so much fun I got to crowd surf to my favorite song ever, In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth 3. I was in heaven. Then Slipknot came on. My expectations were low but they were amazing. I had so much fun that when i got home I pretty much passed out I was so tired. I woke up the next day and was 4 pounds lighter. BEST concert ever!!! On another note, I am sick of the snow as well shelby, It's getting old. At least it isnt like -16 degrees anymore though. And Shelby, I hate to tell you, you may not love your first couple nursing classes. they have a lot of great information, and presentations are fun, but you dont do any lab things, thats what you do 3rd semester!
