Discoveries of Late

First, I just wanted to say thank you for the support on the recent nurse experience at the hospital. Glad to hear I'm not the only one who thinks writing a letter is a good idea. I'll keep you posted.

It's amazing what you find out by simply asking. I'll share a few of these:
  • Through the answers on Twitter, it has been established that a white shirt or white sweater is acceptable after Labor Day. Pants? The jury seems to still be out on that one. Pshaww, like I would ever white pants to begin with. I think we can just call that one a closed subject.
  • There is, not far from here, a piece of architecture called the Glass House. It has been debated whether the architectural plans were from Frank Lloyd Wright's apprentice and it was taken and built after his death. I'm trying to get a reservation to go see it but so far they are reserved out to mid December. I'm still very excited because I adore Frank Lloyd Wright buildings. This seems to be under dispute, can anyone clarify?
  • I have applied to three different nursing programs and it looks like I have a very good shot at acceptance to the one I like the most. (SQUEEE!)
  • I'm loving exploring (when I feel up to it) now that I have the Garmin. I'm going to declare it the next best thing second to the internet.
  • One of the fabulous ladies I had the pleasure of finally meeting and hanging out with at BlogHer this past year, moved up here from Washington, DC. We were both super excited and even more-so when we found out the building she and her husband moved into is directly behind my building. It feels a little Seinfeld-ey, but we are both loving every minute of it.
  • They do indeed sell raw meat dog food around here, you just have to know who to ask.
  • Observation of my own: The drivers here are crazy. Like wear-a-helmet-in-your-own-car crazy drivers.
Recent observation you've come up with?

I could never in a million years pull off white pants, but white shirts and sweaters are fair game, Labor Day be damned.

I'm getting a Tom Tom for Christmas and I cannot wait.

I agree with the white pants are OK rule. I do have some white linen pants, but only wear them during the summer.

Congratulations on going to nursing school!

i just cant wear white, espcially pants because they will ALWAYS get stained, somehow...
as far as the Glass House, it was designed by phillip johnson with the intent of displaying his art collection, the house is amazing as well as the surrounding structures all designed by him, its a great place to visit! enjoy!
