It was really hard getting ready today knowing that I'll be putting my pj's back on in 30 min to take a nap then go to work for the night. With that said I pulled the casual Friday outfit, ran a few errands, went and visited Hubs at work, and now am back and ready for a nap. So with that said, night!
Pin It
Who doesn't love these new shoes?!? Well today I found a great deal I wanted to share and a pair that I seriously want to buy once they go on sale. Lookie Lookie what I found!
The other pair I want but will wait until they go on sale.
Aren't they sweet? Yep I just said sweet...lol Sorry no outfit post today I was hanging out in my pjs all day after doing some homework. It was well needed since I work up in the middle of the night with girly pains :( So I made things better by buying shoes...it's the perfect fix! Have a great weekend and Happy Friday the 13th!
Oh how long I've waited for you Friday, Fridays bring joy to my face! lol I find myself laughing inside at the moment. Anyways let me think here what makes this Friday so great and why am I kinda bummed about this Friday at the same time....
Thought process is as such...
Today is payday-EVERYONE loves that day!
Today is my day off- another thing I think everyone loves
Today is my list checkin off day-kinda goes along with my day off
I'm kinda bummed though because
I woke up with a horrible neck pain, my neck slightly hurt yesterday but it hurts more this morning. I took 3 ibuprofen and put a heating pad on it the Hubs said I look like one of my patients with a C-collar on. (Thanks Hubs..,.NOT!) lol
I have a lot to do today so I can't really stay in my pjs as long as I wanted too
Other than those things I think today is a good Friday! Todays my mother-in-laws birthday so Happy Birthday Mary. Can't wait to go to dinner tonight at Granny Annies! Yummm!! Here is what I'm wearing right now.
Look at these amazing earrings I picked up at a local craft show called Craft Lake City. I had saved the business card of the lady who made them but now that I really need it I can't find it (of coarse). But they are made from eucalyptus leaves and they rock!
Have a great weekend everyone, I'm a climbin tomorrow!!
Well one day while I was browsing Pinterest I came across this picture and then noticed Hubs just cleaned out his drawers and was throwing away 2 thermals.Whoa! Its a sign I'm suppose to give my sewing skills a shot.
At first I tried forever to find where this picture came from, and no luck. So I can't give credit where credit is earned. And I couldn't find any tutorials from any amazing sewing ladies, so I ventured off on my own. I knew that I wasn't going to be able to make my cardigans as detailed as the above picture. Heck all I can do is sew a straight line(literally). So no cute shoulder details, which is okay. I was going for a comfy, lazy day cardigan, or one I could wear to the climbing gym. Here are a couple of pictures from what I did.
I laid the thermal out on the floor.
I cut up the middle of the shirt. I found the middle by just following the natural pattern in the shirt.
After putting the thermal on and noticing how big it was on the sides, I went to the sewing machine, turned the thermal inside out and sewed up the sides to my fit.
After both sides were done, I sewed a hem down the front where I made the cut.
And BAM you're done! Easy right!
And I made a red one too (even though this picture you can't tell at all)
I really liked how they turned out and they are sooo comfy from the Hubs wearing them. Easy little task to take something that was going to be thrown away into something that I know I will wear all the time!
Try it out this weekend and let me know how it goes!
Becoming a nurse has always been a life long goal of mine and when I say life long I said I wanted to be a nurse during my Kindergarten graduation! I'm so happy to see that I've checked something off my list and know that I am capable of completing anything. There was times when I felt hopeless about getting into nursing school and searched for other majors, but I kept up with it and 3 years later I finally got to start my journey. I'm grateful that I stuck with it and can tell my future kids to never give up!
PS our dinner was at a mall and I had to go walk around Anthropology...man good thing everything in that place is slightly pricey, BUT I made it out there with nothing in my hands! Only 10 more day until there are no more rules!
Have a great weekend everyone!!
Hubby and I went for alittle drive up to Monte Cristo and it was gorgeous!! It was great to get out of the city and take deep breaths of nice fresh air. It was perfect weather for just a thermal and my yummy yellow scarf (and pants too silly!).
I work a grave tonight so I hope everyone who isn't working has a wonderful weekend!
Tomorrow maybe rock climbing after I get up!?! What about your weekend plans??

Thanks Kimmie Honey at Main Attractions for doing such an amazing job at my hair. Sorry the pictures aren't very clear but sometimes that's how life goes and you accidentally turn the autofocus off and forget to focus it...oh well!
Have a wonderful weekend! Any fun plans?? I'm going rock climbing tomorrow woot woot!
Wow that week just flew by!! I'm not going to lie I feel like I worked my little butt off this week, and I feel like I need my sleep in day! But that isn't going to be today, because right as you probably are reading this I'm working a lovely 12 hour shift. So tomorrow will be my sleep in day, and I'll wake up and go out on the balcony of the lovely house up in Eden only to view the majestic scenery over Pineview lake and the Huntsville valley. I defiantly will take pictures so I can show you what I am talking about, but remember pictures NEVER do it justice!
On the other hand I'm taking a canvas and some acrylic paints so I can get started on my newest project for my living room. I'm going to paint...yes you heard it...Nikki's going to paint! lol my excuse for when it turns out weird is 'It's abstract!' lol I'm excited to try and pull out some creative juices from this over exhausted brain full of medical terms and disease processes, guess we will see how it turns out!
Oh a fun fact about me...I got out of my first speeding ticket today!! It was amazing! I didn't cry, I was completely honest, and was very considerate of the cops safety(I pulled down a small road off the main one) and followed all the rules like kept my hands on the steering wheel until he got to my window. Let me tell you 2 things though, I'm super lucky because 1. just yesterday I didn't have the current insurance card in my car and 2. I was going about 18 over the speed limit when I got pulled over.
Here are some pictures from the outfit I wore, man it was a great day yesterday! Have a rad weekend, tell me what you did?
We wont finish that song because I think it's absolutely ridiculous. And if you don't know what song I'm talking about you should be happy, because after you listen to it you become dumber(or grammatically correct way of saying that is more dumb...at least I think so)
...Moving on!
Took my first Basic ICU test and...drum roll please....got 29/30! Woot Woot!! All I can say is that I'm glad the first one is over, now I know what to expect for the next ones. Oh and I will never forget that patients with COPD have a really high lung compliance ;)
OK lets analyze this outfit. This is what I wore yesterday. Yes I'm wearing a long sleeve jacket...why you ask? Well although I am super excited for fall but the main purpose of me wearing this long sleeve jacket when it's still mid-80's is because my ICU class is a freakin freezer! I seriously have seen people dress in a turtle-neck, snow pants and a thick jacket during the summer in the building we meet in. I'm not going to go that far, only because I know the moment I walk through my door at home my husband will bust up laughing at me. I think I'll try and keep it classy. My pants...Forever 21, love them. Shirt...TJMax...yes I am was a Maxxinista!
Tell me one thing...Do you think this outfit would have benefited from a necklace today? I couldn't decide and then I ran out of time...
Well until Mon you awesome blog readers! (I know you are out there...even though you aren't leaving comments, or at least I have to tell myself that lol)
Who doesn't love the thought that the new fashion for next year is being revealed right now on the other side of the country!! Oh how I wish I could go to a fashion show one day at Fashion Week. What would I wear? Oh man that would be quite the adventure. I don't see that happening anytime soon in my future(Who am I kidding, I don't see that happening ever!) But its fun to think that it could happen!
After looking through the press pictures from the 1st day of fashion week I found my favorites and wanted to share them.
