Nursing School Class of 2010

Today I attended my second nursing school orientation. I received a total of 12 books and they informed us that there are 3 more to come. I am really exited however the pile of book is quite overwhelming. They also told us our schedules as well. In order to fulfill my contract and keep my benefits with carondelet i need to work 24 hours a week. its not to bad just quite overwhelming. They also told just because we are in nursing school and cant work a lot (obviously) that they are giving us $77 a paycheck just to help us out. My contract states they will be pay for all nursing classes and even pay for an extra semester if we fail one, they will also pay 100% of books plus the supplemental books that we are free to keep and never return and they pay for an N-CLEX class to help us study for the boards. My end of the deal I have to work for carondelet 3 years as a nurse and that's not volunteering either and if I don't I owe them $15,000.

Please Please Vote for my baby!!!!!

I've entered a picture of Kiona dressed up as a sorceress on the goodhousekeeping website and I encourage all to vote at least once a day or more or whatever your schedule permits.Its a rough world out there when a poor a poor chinchilla has to compete with cats and dogs in costumes that can easily be bought in a pet store. I encourage all to vote for Kiona. on the website I'll post the link below I believe you have to do the pet war part till you get to her picture. If anybody finds an easier way let me know via comment. I think it will be awesome if she wins or at least beats some others. So please vote for my Baby she needs your support. P.S. Kiona's costume cannot be purchased it is an original creation inspired by her mom and grandma. Very tasteful and original I might add.

A Giant Tea Party

Yesterday a bunch of ladies met up at the Chantilly tea room to have a giant tea party, abou 20 people. It was so much fun we had so many choices of tea and we had lunch too. The lunch consisted of yummy scones and mini sanwhiches and various little dessert, all of which were very tasty. I highly recommend this little place for a good time with friends.

FINALLY!!! I have internet

I will Have to apologize for a huge delay in blogging. We were trying to get reasonable internet and had some problems doing so. Any other time I usually blog from work but they got smaart and blocked the website. In the meantime there was so much I missed out on blogging on. First off my mom just turned 50 july 23rd so we had a surprise bithday party for her in our dinky apartment. In which she was definitly surprised it was so awesome. She was able to blow out all 50 candles before we even got half way through the happy birthday song. In the pictures they appear to be very smokey due to all the candles Mom had to blow out. We had a delicious carrot cake with apricot mousse, homeade ice cream made by the Schwans and lots of other yummy snacks.

Kiona also had a party the following week her birthday is July 30th, she is now 2. This was a yummy potluck party, again in our dinky apartment. everyone had a blast even Kiona. Carl came all the way from Austrilia to wish Kiona a happy birthday. According to him Austrailians do crazy things too. Last but not least Rebecca, Brian, Jacob and I went tubing down the salt river which was also tons of fun.

Again my apologies for my lack of blogging. Hope this will suffice.

R.I.P. Myrna 1990-2008

Myrna Lesabre has entered into rest may 30th of 2008 in Tucson Arizona, as her internal components have failed to further pursue life. Myrna was created in 1990 in a Buick factory. She worked as a chauffeur taking people to work school vacations and wherever there destination involved. She had the ability to work with all ages races and all species of mammals including chinchillas. Her accomplishments in life are all very successful for a car of her type. Myrna was dependable all way to the end and never gave up no matter what the circumstances. She could withstand the worst of weather and the steepest of hills. Myrna survived by her many cousins, Reatta, Lesabre, Silverado and Bonneville to name a few. Not to mention her many friends as well. Myrna Abstained from marriage to therefore pursue her career. She felt traveling so much may jeopardize a marriage. For this cause she sacrificed the chance of ever pursuing a family. In Myrna's final three years She resided with Lila and Kiona. Myrna took them wherever they needed to go. She was very supportive of Lila's nursing career as she she drove her to school for supplemental classes for her nursing degree. She also aided Lila to work to make money to pay for this school as well as support Kiona. Myrna loved Kiona endlessly as she volunteered to take her anywhere providing Kiona with the coolest of air conditioning. Even in her last days Myrna specifically Requested to be an organ donor as she has exact matches for her cousin Reatta. Myrna's life could be summed up of a life of sacrifice to do whatever she could for others.

Needless to say Myrna will be greatly missed by her friends and family. There is no doubt that there will be tears of mourning. We all will hold a special place for Myrna in our hearts and never forget her benevolence.

Myrna's crushing service is yet to be announced due to the fact she is an organ donor.
