what's your song?

Link up with Goodnight Moon.

Dream - Priscilla Ahn

Another Grey's Anatomy song.

Of course I had to pick it because I'm still going through my marathon :)

There is another show that I have been interested in, called The Colony, which is on Netflix. It's a controlled experiment to see if people with different sets of skills (trauma RN, an ex-convict, a handyman, an MD, an engineer, a physical fitness instructor, etc) can survive in a post-apocalyptic environment. There are no zombies, of course lol. It's very interesting and I would have never known about it if one of my coworkers hadn't said anything. I'm an end-of-days enthusiast lol, but I don't believe the world is going to end on 12.21.2012.

I'm back at work and couldn't be happier! I had a good week last week. I'm kind of nervous about going back tonight, though, because everyone has been saying how rough it has been this week :/

Yesterday morning I went to Rudy's to get breakfast tacos with some coworkers :) Actually, they were more like burritos haha. You can get your typical eggs, sausage, potatoes & cheese, or you could also put in their BBQ meats. I got eggs and their spicy chopped. It was greasy and I probably ate my day's worth of calories in that one meal but it was soooooooo good. I had a really fun time and I'm excited for more of these get-togethers in the future. There were a lot of L&D nurses + my favorite supervisor and some of my favorite nurses from my floor came as well. The L&D nurses also like to go to Las Margaritas (located by East Gate on Fort Hood St) after work at 0730 for margaritas! They also have a full breakfast menu with breakfast tacos and migas. I'm really hoping I can go to this. Of course nurses from my floor and ICU will be attending, as well.

Hubby is doing well in the sandbox. Although we don't get to talk everyday, we've Skyped a few times already. On days we can't talk, we'll send Facebook messages to each other. I sent his care package a few days ago and I'm excited for him to receive it!

what's your song? week 45!

You told me time never waits, well that's okay because I don't wait for time ♥

I love Jack Johnson. All of his songs just make me so calm and happy and want to kick back and relax :)

On a side note, I went to our monthly FRG meeting yesterday because I didn't have to work. I felt sooooo out of place there. The FRG leader is nice and approachable, but no one else is, I feel. There were a total of 6 of us at the meeting, not including the kids. I talked to one wife for a brief moment and when I told her my husband just went, she just kind of gave me this look and stopped talking to me. The rear D 1st sergeant briefed us on what is going on and approximate coming home dates, and what to expect when the soldiers return and when they will be able to take their block leave. I know my hubby just left but I'm so excited for him to come back lol. It sucks being by yourself :(

The meeting lasted a whole 20-25 minutes, if that. I grabbed a bite to eat and then just left, because I was literally just sitting there. Two wives (one of them I spoke to earlier) were sitting in front of me making small talk and then the rear D 1st sergeant's wife was sitting behind me with her hubby talking. The FRG leader was speaking with the commander's wife on the other side of the room...so after sitting there for a few moments, I just got up and left. It was way too awkward.

I'm going back to work tonight after having nearly 2 weeks off. It should be interesting. I'm actually preparing myself to be on-call, though, since last time I had a large break in between working I was put on-call. We'll see, though.

what's YOUR song? week 44!

Gosh it has been FOREVER since I have done one of these! Be sure to link up at Goodnight Moon!

This week is This Time Of Year by Blaire Reinhard. This is such a gorgeous song and it was featured on Dance Moms.

what's YOUR song? week 33!

It has been awhile since I have done this! Be sure to head over to Goodnight Moon to link-up :)

This week: You Make Me Happy - Lindsey Ray

This song makes me feel all bubbly and carefree and happy! Enjoy!

song link-up!

It has been quite awhile since I have participated in Goodnight Moon's weekly What's Your Song? link-up!

This week is "Sleep On The Dance Floor" by The Postelles. This song makes me feel so light-hearted, I love it! Enjoy :)



I have to work tonight. I'm a little apprehensive after what happened Monday night, which was totally 100% *NOT* my fault. And I'm still pissed at that family. Long story short, one family member yelled at me and said, "I don't care if the patient next door is dying, our loved one could die too!" and um, the patient I was attending to was unstable. Their loved one was fine. It was pretty ridiculous, but I still maintained my composure and basically kissed their asses and did everything I possibly could to make them happy. Ugh.

Tomorrow night, however, is military ball! I am excited :) I'm just going to recycle the dress I wore to the military ball in April at Fort Leonard Wood.

And of course I work Saturday night, too :(

What's Your Song?

This week is You're The Best by Joe Esposisto. The song from Karate Kid hahahaha. I love this song, it always pumps me up, and Karate Kid is such a classic movie. I like to get into this mindset since I'm starting work very soon. I'm the best (RN) around, nothing's ever gonna keep me down! lol

:)

What's your song? Week 16!

I haven't been participating in the past few weeks...I have just been so busy!

This week's song is called In Front Of You by The Quiet Kind. This song was played in the season 7 finale of Grey's Anatomy - Unaccompanied Minor. If it weren't for Grey's, I would have never heard this song. In fact, if it weren't for Grey's, there would be a lot of good songs that I would miss out on.

I just think it is a beautiful song...close your eyes and listen...

And don't forget to link up with Goodnight Moon!

what's your song?

Be sure to link up with Goodnight Moon!

There have been two songs I have been listening to a lot lately. One of them is Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO. I pretty much appreciate all genres of music (except country, still haven't found a place in my heart for that haha...maybe living in Texas will change that)...but I especially love songs like this that just amp you up and make you want to dance.

Or in this case, shuffle.

What's Your Song? Week 10

Hosted by Goodnight Moon. Be sure to go link up!

This week is Billie Jean by Michael Jackson. Seriously, who doesn't love MJ?

<3 :)

what's your song?

Hosted by Goodnight Moon, every Thursday! Be sure to link up!

This week is Feels Like Home by Chantal Kreviazuk. I LOVE this song. It has different meanings to me (one of them being with the sorority I used to be apart of) but it's another song that makes me think of E. Being with him and being in his arms really feels like home to me. I also think this will be our first dance song at our wedding in like 3 weeks (yikes!)

E also got us an apartment in Texas. It just so happens to be by a road called Bacon Ranch Road. Bahahaha...sounds like Texas, all right!

And for some reason, Blogger deleted all of the wonderful bloggers that I have been following, yet I still have followers! I don't get it...working on re-following everyone again!

what's your song?

I'm back in Fort Leonard Wood, and I made it safe and sound :)

I left at around 0445ish this morning and got here at 1530 (1430 central time). Eddie assumed that he would be done by noonish but of course that didn't happen lol...he wasn't done until around 1645ish. So I went to the PX and uh...yeah. Drove around. So much to do! haha.

I'm so happy to see him :) We're planning on getting Korean food with some friends tonight. Tomorrow is milball and Monday is his MPBOLC graduation! I'm so proud of him :)

Once again, Goodnight Moon is hosting a weekly "What's Your Song?" link-up. Head over to her blog to participate!

This week I chose "One and Only" by ADELE, because I think it is a beautiful song and I honestly CANNOT stop listening to her! She describes her style as "heartbroken soul" which I think sums it up pretty well. When you can't describe how your feeling, Adele just kind of puts it all in a song for you, if that makes sense.

what's your jam?

It's that time again! Amber @ Goodnight Moon is doing a weekly song link-up every Thursday!

This week: Better Together by Jack Johnson. I love Jack Johnson, and this song is pretty obvious, because it's always better when we're together :) And we'll be together in a week! I can't wait <3

What's your song? Week 5!

Go link up with Goodnight Moon!

This week is Waiting On An Angel by Ben Harper. I just love this song, and I love the lyrics.

Waiting on an angel

One to carry me home

Hope you come to see me soon

Cause I don't want to go alone

I don't want to go alone

Now angel won't you come by me

Angel hear my plea

Take my hand lift me up

So that I can fly with thee

So that I can fly with thee

And I'm waiting on an angel

And I know it won't be long

To find myself a resting place

In my angel's arms

In my angel's arms

So speak kind to a stranger

Cause you'll never know

It just might be an angel come

Knockin' at your door

Knockin' at your door

And I'm waiting on an angel

And I know it won't be long

To find myself a resting place

In my angel's arms

In my angel's arms

Waiting on an angel

One to carry me home

Hope you come to see me soon

Cause I don't want to go alone

I don't want to go alone

Don't want to go

I don't want to go alone

Thursday Five & What's Your Song week 3!

Nicole over @ Flip Flops and Combat Boots is doing a link-up called Thursday Five. Here are this week's words:

Peaceful

Loved

Awesome

Lucky
Smart

1. The most Peaceful part of my day is in the morning - drinking coffee and getting my morning fix of Blogger, Twitter, Allnurses and Facebook!

2. E makes me feel Loved every day! The way he makes me feel and the way he treats me is exhilarating...no one else can compare! I feel so Lucky to have such a wonderful husband.

3. Although I haven't done a whole lot (because there isn't much to do here at Fort Leonard Wood lol), so far it has been Awesome because I get to spend quality time with E :) Unfortunately I have to go back home soon :( But I will be here again in about a month for E's military ball and MPBOLC graduation :D

4. Lately I've been feeling Smart...nursing school friends have been asking me a lot of nursing-related questions that I've been able to answer! I better be able to, I've got this NCLEX coming up lol.

And this week is also week 3 for What's Your Song, hosted by Goodnight Moon!

Another favorite song of mine happens to be called Silver Lining by Rilo Kiley. Above I was talking about how well E treats me and how lucky I am to have such a wonderful husband. Before I started dating E, I was dating this asshole named Greg. He was nice at first, and pretty attractive at that time. Then as time went on I guess he started to get "too comfortable" and started to treat me like crap. He would always check out other girls and say to me how pretty and hot and sexy they were and say "why don't you wear something like she is wearing?" One night we were sitting in his kitchen eating dinner and out of the blue told me, "you know, a little bit of makeup wouldn't hurt you." His mom was sitting right there and ridiculed him for what he said, saying it wasn't nice but he just shrugged and said "but it's true." It was just things like that. He also could NEVER admit when he was wrong. I was always wrong and he was always right. He wrestled in high school and thinks that is the "manliest" sport that exists.

I'm sorry, but honestly, I think wrestling is kind of gay haha. Nothing like having two guys rubbing up against each other. :X

Then he went to Florida for a week with some friends. The FIRST thing one of his friends told me was "don't worry, he didn't cheat on you." 8 months later (and by this time I moved on and was dating E) my friend Nicole found out that he did cheat on me. It pissed me off because I was still with him for 2 months after he got back from Florida, but oh well. He was really upset when I broke up with him, but whatever, it's his loss. Then he messaged me on Facebook saying I was dating an ugly guy and that the military is for pussies....later he messaged me telling me he was going to join the Marines and be "a real man." He never did.

E would NEVER say things like that me. He ALWAYS compliments me and tells me how pretty and beautiful I am. He always treats me with respect.

This song reminds me of my ex but also where I am today and that I have someone so much better. I was your silver lining, but now I'm gold.

what's your song link-up, round 2!

Hosted by Goodnight Moon :)

This week is "Perfect Two" by Auburn (same artist who sings the song La La La).

It's another love song that reminds me of E.

I think the lyrics are so cute!

You can be the peanut butter to my jelly

You can be the butterflies I feel in my belly

You can be the captain and I can be your first mate

You can be the chills that I feel on our first date

You can be the hero and I can be your side kick

You can be the tear that I cry if we ever split

You can be the rain from the cloud when it's stormin'

Or you can be the sun when it shines in the mornin'

Don't know if I could ever be

Without you cause boy you complete me

And in time I know that we'll both see

That we're all we need

Cause you're the apple to my pie

You're the straw to my berry

You're the smoke to my high

And you're the one I wanna marry

Cause you're the one for me, for me

And I'm the one for you, for you

And take the both of us, of us

And we're the perfect two

We're the perfect two

We're the perfect two

Baby me and you

We're the perfect two

You can be the prince and I can be your princess

You can be the sweet tooth, I can be the dentist

You can be the shoes and I can be the laces

You can be the heart that I spill on the pages

You can be the vodka and I can be the chaser

You can be the pencil and I can be the paper

You can be as cold as the winter weather

But I don't care as long as we're together

Don't know if I could ever be

Without you cause boy you complete me

And in time I know that we'll both see

That we're all we need

'Cause you're the apple to my pie

You're the straw to my berry

You're the smoke to my high

And you're the one I wanna marry

Cause you're the one for me, for me

And I'm the one for you, for you

And take the both of us, of us

And we're the perfect two

We're the perfect two

We're the perfect two

Baby me and you

We're the perfect two

You know that I'll never doubt ya

And you know that I think about ya

And you know I can't live without ya

I love the way that you smile

And maybe in just a while

I can see me walk down the aisle

'Cause you're the apple to my pie

You're the straw to my berry

You're the smoke to my high

And you're the one I wanna marry

Cause you're the one for me, for me

And I'm the one for you, for you

And take the both of us, of us

And we're the perfect two

We're the perfect two

We're the perfect two

Baby me and you

We're the perfect two

♫ home is wherever i'm with you ♫

Goodnight Moon is doing a music link-up! This has been my favorite song lately because it is so catchy and I love the chorus! reminds me of E ♥

Alabama, Arkansas, I do love my Ma & Pa
Not the way that I do love you

Holy roly, me, oh my, you’re the apple of my eye
Girl, I’ve never loved one like you

Man, oh man, you’re my best friend, I scream it to the nothingness
There ain’t nothin’ that I need

Well, hot & heavy, pumpkin pie, chocolate candy, Jesus Christ
There ain’t nothin’ please me more than you

Chorus:
Ahh, Home
Let me come Home
Home is wherever I’m with you
(2x)
La la la la, take me Home
Baby, I’m coming Home

I’ll follow you into the park, through the jungle, through the dark
Girl, I’ve never loved one like you

Moats & boats & waterfalls, alley ways & pay phone calls
I’ve been everywhere with you

That’s true

We laugh until we think we’ll die, barefoot on a summer night
Nothin’ new is sweeter than with you

And in the sticks we’re running free like it’s only you and me
Geez, you’re something to see.

Chorus

“Jade?”
“Alexander?”
“Do you remember that day you fell out of my window?”
“I sure do, you came jumping out after me.”
“Well, you fell on the concrete and nearly broke your ass and you were bleeding all over the place and I rushed you off to the hospital. Do you remember that?”
“Yes, I do.”
“Well, there’s something I never told you about that night.”
“What didn’t you tell me?”
“While you were sitting in the backseat smoking a cigarette you thought was going to be your last, I was falling deep, deeply in love with you and I never told you ‘til just now.”
“Now I know.”

Ahh, Home
Let me come Home
Home is whenever I’m with you
Ahh, Home
Let me come Home
Home is when I’m alone with you

Home
Let me come Home
Home is wherever I’m with you

Ahh, Home
Yes, I am Home
Home is when I’m alone with you.

Alabama, Arkansas, I do love my Ma & Pa
Moats & boats & waterfalls & pay phone calls

Ahh, Home
Let me come Home
Home is wherever I’m with you
Ahh, Home
Let me come Home
Home is when I’m alone with you
