Random Goodness.

I took the LPN entrance exam again today. To my surprise, it was identical to the first one that I took. I rushed through the math to make sure I finished. Anything I didn’t know I randomly bubbled in, I then went back to questions them and attempted to correct them. Last time I didn’t get to the last 6 or so questions so I randomly bubbled them in. Hope my new approach boosts my score a bit. Well, actually I just hope to be one of the 80 receiving an acceptance letter in May.

I’m working on a new theme, I just can’t get the css right. I’m debating where I want to upload my pictures from the Auto Show, my gallery (which needs to be redone) or flickr. I’ll see. I got some really good pictures of Kelis.

Yesterday Greg and I came home (southern illinois) to our new printer and bedding. Ugh, the bedding is not what I expected. Here is my review: I give this NO STARS! I paid $59.99 for this and $20 shipping. I thought I was really getting something seeing how it had been marked down from $117.99. It looks so much better in the picture. Mine looks terribly faded, there are strings hanging off the sides of my comforter from a horrible sewing job and I DID NOT receive my neck pillow. I could have gotten better at Walmart.

NOW speaking of Walmart, I ranted a bit about them in a previous post how the past 4 bedding sets that I purchased from them, the comforters unraveled at the corners exposing the stuffing. This was the whole reason I turned to Amazon to get bedding, but I got bamboozled again. Now back to Walmart, I had a spare set of sheets that were purchased from Walmart, I wanted to put them on the bed before we put the new set from Amazon on. We have a queen sized bed, the sheet set was for a queen sized bed, why did the fitted sheet say FULL SIZED?!?! Needless to say, it didn’t fit. - I will never buy any type of bedding from Walmart again!

At the end you must choose six people to be tagged and list their names. No tagbacks!


1. I have a habit of grabbing my boobs when I walk/jog down the stairs - not in public.

2. When handling fresh beef, particularly steaks, the smell turns my stomach. It reminds me of dead people. That’s what I get for watching CSI.

3. While cooking, I have to wash my hands in between everything, I can’t touch meat then grab the seasoning, that’s just nasty.

4. I often prejudge people who fit the physical profile of those girls on “Girls Gone Wild”.

5. Everytime I work, I buy something.

6. I have scoliosis.

7. I can’t stand sweaters made with rabbit fur because the threads or whatever itch my face when floating around. At work my face itches a lot due to all the sweaters containing rabbit fur.

8. If I won the lottery or something of the like, I’d start planning to have my first child.

9. I watch HGTV whenever I can, it motivates me to try harder in life.

10. I have an Ebay store.

    Aw, sorry bout the bedding, that must be a pain. I hate it when stores screw things up like that. And I totally do the hands cleaning thing when cooking…I wash before I touch anything new.

    Good luck with the exam. I hope you get some good news in May! That really sucks about the bedding. Is there anything that you can do about it? That’s so tacky. Girl, I’m the exact way when it comes to washing my hands. I wash them close to 50 times a day. I just got into HGTV over the past 2 months and I love every show on there. You were right before about it giving you inspiration to design. I’ve gotten some good ideas from there. Thanks for tagging me!

    I’ve had the same experience with Bedding from Wal-Mart & I thought Amazon is iffy too if You’re buying something like Apparel but I’m just speaking from my experience.

    Me & My sister were debating on whether or not to go to the auto show, we skipped it all together.

    Since I am moving, I am sticking with purchasing a decent sized fold out futon… not the couch one… the traditional one with a pallet.

    I really cannot stand a lot of Walmarts junk (yes, it is junk)… and here in Mount Vernon, IL, it sucks because there is not much of a selection.

    I think the next time I go to a flea market or fair, I will look for comforter/ quilts and such… at least the quality would be worth the price paid.
