I've been MIA for 2 months, crazy! Hopefully I'll get back into the swing of blogging and have missed you all terribly, but I have a sweet lady to share with you all. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Jana is a member at my church and I've known her since I was a little girl. Her mother was my middle school counselor and their family is just the nicest and most caring people you'd ever meet. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">One week ago today, her husband couldn't wake her up and long story short she is in my ICU at the hospital and <i>very sick</i>. She's had a rough week with trying times. I won't go into detail, other to say that she and the family would appreciate your thoughts and prayers.</span></div>

With spring in the air and summer just around the corner, I am wanting a home project to spruce up my drab backyard! The day I first looked at my house on my house-hunting, I imagined a cute little patio to have guests over for summer nights and fun get-togethers! I have yet to make that happen, but think I may do it in the next month! I have a few ideas for decor and just need the big portion of laying the patio and planting some trees to hide the neighbors! No one wants nosey neighbors peeking in on all the fun! The fun stuff will be planting the pretty colorful flowers {never dreamed I'd ever say that!} and adding twinkle lights, tiki torches, and colorful cushions for the furniture! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can't wait to have my first party...Cocktials for all!</div>

I have met so many amazing nurses throughout my life who have made me the nurse I am today! From the friends I made in nursing school, my co-workers over the past 5 years of my career (past & present), and my family of nurses (my mother, aunt, 2 cousins and now my sister!)<br />
<br />
To all of you just starting your nursing career, it can be tough at times, but worth it and you will grow and become a strong person a better nurse from all you encounter!<br />

Last summer I bought a couple maxi dresses and absolutely lovvveed them! So, this summer, I'm buying more! I've already bought two for the season. You may have already seen the photos! These long flowy beauties are heaven and so comfy. How amazing?! They are perfect! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not only are they all the things I just said, but they cover my pale legs until I get some color-never will I know what it's like to have a "great natural tan." It's a job for me to get any kind of color.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
{You lucky B*s who do get an easy tan!}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just use the spray in desperate times for that, but all summer, I can cover up and look fab all at the same time. GENIUS. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope they never go out of fashion, or you can best believe I'll be the one wearing them when they are long out of style. I'll be the girl stuck in 2012...in 2020. {Like the women with hair from the 70's} No joke.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And for all you preggo mamas, it's perfect little cute dresses, and how easy & comfortable!? If I were preggo, I'd stock up! Well, I'm stocking up anyways!<br />

Being from the Horse capital of the world, and living only 1 hour from the Derby city, of course I am going to choose the Derby option! DUH! Girls, the Derby is a formal and unique experience! The ladies dress in their gorgeous hats and start planning their entire ensemble around their FAB. hat. The hat tradition is so awesome. It's so neat to see all the extravagant hats!<br />

Monday my friend Jill and her husband went to the hospital to have their sweet little baby boy. He was fashionably late gracing the world with his presence. Finally, Tuesday afternoon Tanner James S. was welcomed into the world! He weighed 8lbs 9oz and was 21 1/4 inches long, with pretty blue eyes! </div>

Before this picture, I was holding him and he was...umm, pretty "gas-y" and I felt something warm. The nurse {a friend} and I checked his diaper, and good thing we did, because he had a huge dirty diaper, and a little had leaked on me! As you can see, I was working and wearing scrubs, so good clothes weren't ruined! </div>

If I had a date...& it were a fancy date, I'd wear this LBD number. I haven't been on a fancy date in a while and I'm wishing so bad right now I had one in the works! I have been lusting after that <a href="http://www.katespade.com/designer-handbags/fabric-purses/mount-perry-adira/PXRU3342,default,pd.html?dwvar_PXRU3342_color=102&start=81&cgid=handbags">Kate Spade</a> handbag for awhile-best excuse to but it! C'mon girls, if you know a great guy, send him my way...girlfriend needs to wear this outfit, and buy that bag!</div>

I saw <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ISeeNoise">I See Noise</a> prints on a few other blogs in the past few weeks and absolutely LOVED them! I started following Randa {the etsy shop designer/owner} on Twitter and I'm so glad I did. I saw a tweet yesterday from her that she was selling two prints for $10 each! I IMMEDIATELY emailed her and she reserved them for me in her etsy shop! I've been thinking of redecorating my bathroom for sometime now, and this gives me the perfect chance! {an excuse to redecorate for anything!}I can't wait to hang them! </div>

Yes, I really did! And then I took matters into my own hands! </div>
<br />
A couple of years ago I was watching Millionaire Matchmaker on BravoTV and on this particular episode there was a VERRRYY good looking guy who happened to be my age and live only a state away-maybe 3 hours from his city to mine. During the episode I thought he seemed like a great guy and down-to-earth!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How cute is he!? Totally date-able!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I contacted Millionaire Matchmaker and told them I was interested in meeting this guy! I got an email back the next day that said if I wanted to meet the Millionaires I needed to sign up with the agency and go through the selection process. I really wasn't into that since it's based in LA and I'm about 3000 miles away. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to take matters into my own hands! </div>
Who's not on Facebook these days?! {Remember when it was just limited to students in college? And it required .edu to start a www.THEfacebook.com page? Well, that's a whole 'nother issue...} Getting back on track...I went straight to my computer and signed on. I typed in his name and there he was! Just a cute on FB as on TV! I only sent a friend request. Nothin' too craaaazy! Sometime later he had accepted and sent me a message. I was ecstatic! We messaged back and forth for a while. We talked about UK basketball, his team-which we won't discuss ;/ , Keeneland, and our families. His mom is a nurse, too! So much in common, TRUE LOVE!<br />
<br />

Last summer I contacted him letting him know I would be in his city visiting a friend. I thought we could all get together for dinner {strange? I think not!}, but sadly, he was going to be out of town for work. Later, he contacted me again and invited me to his lake house over Labor Day weekend. Sadly,{again}, I had to work the entire weekend. {We work 3 day blocks on the holidays} So, I couldn't go at all. :( Can we say bad timing?!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
One day we will meet, my future husband! </div>

This weekend was non-stop and full of fun! Here's the proof! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Keeneland was full of guys and gals dressed to the 10's and racing bets made! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We unfortunately did not win a dime :(</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, fun with friends is always a win!</div>

Later, we surprised Brittany with a 30th Birthday party. Her friends from out of town and us here in town have been planning arrangements for weeks-date, gift, party, Keeneland day, etc. It was a huge success! I was so excited to meet all of her friends from college also! Can't wait to see them again.</div>

Later in the evening, I left the surprise party for a short time to support my sorority at an event they had, an alumni silent auction. All of the money raised went to St. Jude Hospital. It was so fun! In college there was a group of boys called the 'Acustocats.' They are a small group who sing with no musical accompaniment-just use their God-given voices. They are unbelievable! They were at the event and serenaded a lucky alumna. Brought back so many college memories! </div>

I hope everyone had a great Easter yesterday! My day was spent going to church, sleeping, dinner with some family friends {27 year tradition}, and then off to work. I hope you all feel as blessed as I do!<br />
<br />
Now, on to today's topic...<br />
<br />
Sephora had their 15% off deal going on last week and I had my eye on the first 2 items for sometime now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I decided to spend the rest of my tax return monies on them! haha. I'll never pass up a sale.<br />
{<span style="font-size: x-small;">Another post coming soon about my RueLaLa purchases!}</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's what I got:<br />
I got the package in the mail yesterday and tried the infamous Mia! It's replacing the current {off-brand} spin brush I currently have. Hope to see some good results soon! </div>

I think I love the florals. It gives personality to outfits and definitely is more modern today than our "grandma-like" florals.<br />
<br />
It's also so dainty and girly, which is sooo me! Thank you fashion designers for bringing it back!</div>

As you all are well aware, our KY boys won the National Title Monday night! I happened to be quite ill and had to call in to work. {wink, wink...shhh, don't tell my boss!} I wouldn't have missed it for the world!<br />

Being from KY and growing up a KY Wildcat is the greatest thing! It's an excitement that is indescribable! Kentucky is the winning-est program in the nation of all time and has the most NCAA titles!</div>
<br />
In my lifetime Kentucky teams have won 3 national titles now! When I was a little girl, the last championship won, I remember my mom drove us to school the next day {we were daily bus riders} so we could stop and get our Nat'l Champ. T-shirts on the way to school! I thought that was so cool!<br />

Well...it was quite an experience, let me tell ya! For future reference, you don't want me to be your directional guide, or for that matter, you don't want my GPS as a guide either!<br />
<br />
I got off work at 7:30 AM Saturday morning, had my bags packed in the car, clocked out and drove straight to Louisville. I got to my grandparents house in record time. There was ZERO traffic and no police on the road {they had more important places to be on this day...downtown LEX and LOU} so I kicked the speed up to mid-80s. My grandmother had scrambled eggs and toast for me. I ate it and talked to my grandparents for about 10-15 minutes then headed to bed. I only slept 4 hours. And if you know me, you know I sleep A LOT, and need it to function. So, I got ready and then typed in the address to the church. The wedding was at 4:30pm.<br />

I'm heading downtown and listen to Ms. GPS European accent telling me where to turn. There is a portion of the road where the church was that is walking only--4th St for those familiar with downtown Louisville. I obviously couldn't park there, so I had to find an alternate street/garage. I circled a few times looking for street parking and kept hearing,"Recalculating, Recalculating." Then she says,"turn RIGHT on 5th St." As soon as I turned right, i realized cars were coming TOWARDS me! A biker looked hysterical and motioned for me to turn around! Luckily I had room, and made a U-y. She's now not so trustworthy!<br />

By now it was 4:15. I was stressing because I like to be "on-time" per etiquette to weddings 30 minutes early. So, I just parked at the next spot and decided to start walking in my high heels! I walked all the way around the block looking for the address 321. I started at 300 and the block ended at 400. And there was NO church. Just the bar district. I had on my UK BLUE dress and was by myself in the crowd of red. Luckily, no one heckled me! I guess I had on my, <b>"I mean biz, don't mess with me" face!</b><br />
<br />
Just before I got back to my car one of my earrings fell out, I stepped on it, and broke it. Not a good day.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I got back to the car and looked at the invitation again. I. COULD.HAVE.DIED. The address was 821, not 321. So much for my glasses helping my eye-sight. Or the print was just too small! I headed that way, but it was already 5:00. I wasn't going to walk into a service that was almost over, so I decided to just go drop off the gift at the reception hall and come home. She was having a cocktail hour after the wedding before the reception started {so they could take pictures} So, I would've had to wait a while to see her.<br />
<br />
After all that effort to get there, stress about the rival fans, not getting there on time, and my favorite earring breaking, I was devastated. I cried in the car on my way home. I hope Shea didn't notice or will find this story funny, one day.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
One positive thing...at least I didn't fall in my high heels in front of all those drunk people!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used to think I had a pretty good sense of direction, "used to" being key words. </div>

<br />
I recently bought two new scarfs from Ann Taylor. One was on sale and one I bought with a coupon: 40% off! #bargainshopper :)<br />
<br />
Scarfs are something so easy to transition into the season and add extra POP of color to the ensemble! And you can wear them with multiple outfits! #bonus<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here they are with the two dresses {the blue one from yesterday's post} I intend on wearing them with! The colors are so fun!</div>

This coming weekend, Saturday evening at 6:09 to be exact, is the Final Four game between UK and UofL. If you are unaware of the rivalry of between us and UofL, let me just say it's MASSIVE, GIGANTIC, WW3-LIKE. I won't go into any more detail, because that could be an entire post all on its' own! </div>

One of a few things need to happen:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1: I need to find a body guard</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2: Sista needs to postpone her wedding</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. I send her gift and all my love at a later date {don't really want to miss the game: PRIORITIES}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm hoping for #1 or #2, but as seeing that I haven't gotten a notice of postponement, looks like the wedding is still on!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I guess it would be fun to have a body guard and feel really important! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just hope the reception has a MAY-JAH big screen so we can watch the game. If not, then I may have to leave and disown her as a friend for life. {Kidding} What was she thinking when she was planing her big day?! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just ask for your prayers, to keep me safe in a city where I will be from the rivalry team!</div>

My last few weeks have been consumed by March Madness, bracketology, and our CATS! At work we do a bracket pool and while I brag that I got 2nd place last year, my bracket has sadly fallen from 2nd place again to nothing this year :( All because Duke, Missouri and Vandy lost so early. I had them going pretty far...And honestly Duke losing can RUIN my bracket any day! </div>
