			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It took an hour and fifteen minutes for me to drive to my clinical site this morning. Luckily&#8211;it looks like it&#8217;s going to be a lot nicer than the last hospital I was at. Honestly though&#8212;every morning I wake up, think about nursing and want to crawl in a hole and die. What did I get myself into? Come on, Katelyn. </p>
<p>Kyle and I took a few pictures so we could get prints and frame them. Slowly but surely we&#8217;ve been accumulating artwork for the walls. Our last project was to create a &#8220;family collage&#8221; featuring photos of the two of us and our animals. Because we are a gay married couple. Some of them turned out alright so I thought I&#8217;d feature them here. There are a few thrown in from there from Karaoke night at Bumper&#8217;s. Nothing beats a good old fashioned dive bar. Anyway&#8211;soon I will be way too busy for good photo posts. Sorry, I am turning into one of those freaks who takes pictures of their animals all the time. So here we go.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just updated my &#8220;about&#8221; section because I definitely just realized that I&#8217;m no longer 21 years old. Nor am I still a sophomore nursing student. </p>
<p>I purchased some more art today for our naked apartment walls along with a full length mirror. I was getting sick of standing on chairs in front of the bathroom (or worse, Kyle&#8217;s glass gun cabinet&#8230;yes, I&#8217;ve <b>so</b> done it.) to see how my shoes looked with pants/skirt/etc. Time to go make some chickennnnnnnnnn.</p>
<p>PS&#8212;congratulations to <a href="http://www.billyandkalen.com">Kalen and Billy</a> on their wedding!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I bought (well&#8230;I should say, Kyle bought) a giant Marilyn Monroe photograph for the dining area today. Our walls are still really quite naked and I couldn&#8217;t resist the $19.99 price tag. I love me some Marilyn. I also got another framed/matted photo (also black and white) of the Moulin Rouge in France, and I think they will look really nice together. I made a new friend&#8212;she lives across the hall from us. We had been running into one another and our dogs would play, but last night we ended up touring one another&#8217;s apartments. I realized just how HORRIBLE of a decorator I am, and she sweetly offered to help me rearrange the furniture later this week. I really like her, I think I may just have the perfect new wine buddy. We&#8217;ll see&#8230;</p>
<p>I&#8217;m jealous. I want to be someone&#8217;s fiance. </p>
<p>PS&#8211;A confession: This entry was really an effort to distract myself from STUFFING my face, as weigh-in day is tomorrow. Rawr. Such a silly life I live.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This morning something really strange and unsettling occurred. Usually the routine goes as follows:</p>
<p>Kyle gets up for work, I let dog out, I go back to bed, Kyle feeds cats&#8230;then leaves. Right after I crawled back into bed this morning, my cat Escobar started acting like a total maniac and kept running all up and down the bed. He finally lays down on my legs, and I started to feel very warm. He fucking peed on me. In my bed. </p>
<p>I have no idea why&#8230;he has never done that before, and my head almost exploded. Yuck. Gross. WHY. I&#8217;m thinking maybe he was trying to tell me to A) pay more attention to him and less attention to puppy or B) clean the litter box. So I did both.</p>
<p>Anyway&#8212;I had another horse show on Sunday and I won two ribbons (1st and 2nd) in the jumping classes. Unfortunately, the judge was on some serious crack for the other classes&#8211;and picked ugly weird horses over Tam and I. But I go for fun, not to win so I really didn&#8217;t mind. We got there early to help set up, and left way late after cleaning up. Long day, but fun. Rupert had a blast, he was definitely a hit. </p>
<p>School starts in 5 days and I could not possibly dread it more. I seriously *hate* clinicals. I can sit in a lecture for hours and hours, but clinicals make me suicidal.</p>
<p>Anyway, I have to go finish cleaning up the house a bit and then I am off to get my hurrr did.</p>

Kyle was doing his &#8220;angry eyes&#8221; there&#8230;
Lastly,..we had a little visitor outside of our apartment window this afternoon. It was pretty cute, she spent like 10 minutes ransacking the neighbors bird feeder.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I cannot fathom the idea that school begins again in two weeks. Seriously. Kill me. I keep thinking that if I weren&#8217;t in nursing, and &#8220;school&#8221; just meant sitting in a classroom, how much more I&#8217;d enjoy my life. But no. &#8220;School&#8221; means being awkward and scary and treating patients and waking up at 4:00 a.m. AHHHHH.</p>
<p>Kyle took me to Victoria&#8217;s Secret yesterday and bought me the sweatsuit (and a shirt) that I wanted so badly. After my huge bread/carbohydrate binge last night though, I&#8217;ll be surprised if I can get in it without busting the seams. *Pulls out hair*<br />

<p>Moving right along&#8230;we left Rupert home alone for like 6 hours last night while we went out with my parents. I was really nervous and felt guilty, but he was such a good boy and didn&#8217;t even pee in his cage. Now if only he would stop waking me up at night&#8230;</p>
<p>Off to shower/clean up the house.</p>

<p>The landscapers that are SUPPOSED to be tending to the apartment complex are outside of my window and I have been watching them taunt children for <b>over</b> 30 minutes. Seriously. We are right up against a cemetery, and I guess there are kids running around on the other side of the fence and these guys have been leaning up against the fence *whistling* at them. And then they gave me the creepy-eye when I went to throw away Rupert&#8217;s poop in the dumpster. Seriously. Do your job please.</p>
