Well, the RN program has started and we are in full swing! It's only been a few days and we're already setting up pumps to play with IV's and learning about pushing some pretty serious medications! I've got a healthy fear of giving them, since many of them can cause serious side effects, like.... I don't know? DEATH!!! Yikes. I'm really enjoying the learning though- it's crazy fascinating!
Due to the fact that I'm now a full time student learning how to care for and save lives,
you might hear some crickets chirping over here at
The Stitchy Life... but I won't be far.
Seriously? Check out the girth of this book...
In other news... my Mama and I opened up a space in an antique mall this last Saturday
and "made a couple of saaaAAAAlllles" already (say that in a singing voice).
I'm stoked!
We'll see where that goes-
hopefully we'll become filthy rich off of non-expensive vintage items
that will, in turn, feed our dirty habit of stockpiling more vintage goods and keeping half of em-
muuuHHAAAAAAhhhaaaa [insert evil laugh here].
So my side has the clothes and some fun embroidery art, old wooden boxes, umbrella, and accessories, and my Mama is selling more of the pyrex, california pottery and antique furniture on the other two walls :D
Here's the day we set it up and SWEATED to death!!! ;( ahhhhh
And, lastly...
Have you ever said a prayer for something you really wanted???
I believe when God sees that this is a true desire of yours and your right on with him...
he's gonna bless you!
(sometimes even when you're not right on with him- cause he's good to us like that!)

I'll refer back to this post here, saying here's my wish.
I was searching through craigslist to find a piano teacher for my girls and called a few until
I finally came across one that was affordable and was close to home. At our first lesson, I saw that my girls did really well with her style of teaching, she's my age, and we hit it off pretty quickly!
She, obviously, enjoys playing music and I told her that I like to play guitar and sing. She does open mic sessions at local coffee shops and asked if I wanted to join her. I was flattered but told her maybe we should try singing together first!
We picked out a handful of songs that we liked and started practicing at home. Yesterday, we tried playing together for the first time after my girls' piano lessons. And... heyyy, it didn't sound all that bad!!! We were both excited to have another go at it next week and maybe learn enough songs to go try an open mic session together :D
I realized as I was driving home that God had answered a pretty big prayer and something I'd been talking about for some! What a stinkin' AWESOME feeling!
