Wizard.

The Last Three Days.

Ugh.

The last three days I was sick with an infection again. (But this is no news because Dystonia lowers your immune system so you're sick all the time and bad.) So anyway, the two days I was supposed to work, I was spilling my beans. 

And I was supposed to take my nurse entrance exam today. 

But guess who's a wizard? Yer a wizard Brenny! The power went out at the LCCC student services building, so we went directly to the testing area. As I was explaining to the lady that I had to take a nurse test and "it's very important, I need to find out which testing center it is. The power went out in the student service building where I was supposed to take it...."

Zip!



That building too! And my testing building. 

Which.... all the computers with the Kaplan test where obviously not all-go. "Call again!" is what they told us (Wyoming for come back soon), and I now have my "three week wait" waived which means I can take the test (still) twice because I tried today, and I won't have to wait three weeks to take it for a second attempt. So I can still get two in before the nursing applications are due! More time and more attempts! 

Abracadabra. 

 Since the test had to be taken at the main campus, we were in Cheyenne. I was feeling mucho better after two/three days of solid sleep,  and Austin was antsy to get some fun in before law school Wednesday.... so we made a day of it :)

We started in the downtown with all the fun buildings and homes...


Did the whole "that house is my dream house!" Shoot. Mine came with a Vespa lol. 

Found a freaking Asian market.... like.... pretty dang legit amidst all the cowboy. (Austin prefers mango drinks from the phillipines, I had to get my lychee.)

Shopped a bit since we had the opportunity. Austin found a sweater at Ross, I found me some new shoes (hallelujah my patchy-toms got a buddy! And no I will never get rid of my toms!) These suckers are from Blowfish! At TJ-Max! I actually eyed these suckers when dreaming about botas or desert boots and thought "gee one day when I have $55!" Uh.... $25 at TJ's. This was the best score since I eyed my yellow dress for $30 on Target.com and found it as an online return a week later at Target in Idaho Falls for $2.00. In my size. The shoes were in my size. Fashion gods love my 5'9" size 10 footed self. 

Michael's was another place we visted because all of my childhood was that store and beyond. Mom and Aunt were the Klutz Inc. people! Usually when I find my mom or my aunt's books in a store, I pull them all out and shove them in front of all the other books. You're welcome Mom and Sherri!

Then Austin found me the most glorious thing...


Halloween had arrived at Michael's, and it came in the form of cheap googly-eyed monster nails!! I cannnnoooottttt wait for FALL!

And just as if the heavens heard me, it stormed. Even better, I got to ride home in the storm with Austin.

(wizard, right?)





Austin and I thought oh gee I wonder if the rain hit Laramie again so we don't have to water the remnants of our garden! Heck no we didn't have to, and all this crazy stuff popped up to our surprise! We'll take a 1/4 of our garden surviving anyday!




Guess what. PUMPKINS. 

PUUUMPPPKIIINNSS.


I can't even handle it. I think I see Fall in the air already!


In the meantime... I've been daydreaming about it eating these bad boys. Cinnamon roasted almonds! Can't wait to have some nutmeg and pumpkin! What's your favourite season?


(I think we should grow an almond tree lol......)

xoxo, from Wyoming!

The Last Stretch

I am on the last little stretch before the surgery! It's amazing how in denial I can still be, thinking that I do not have anything wrong. But then you get a wake up call when your body does funky things you can't stop, and then you fall down the stairs twice. Once I popped my shoulder, and the second I popped a hip and broke my back molar coming down on my side. So I got that tooth fixed ASAP, thank the heavens it didn't damage any roots! At the dentist my mouth was opened for an extended period of time, and needles were involved. Just when you think you have this whole Dystonia thing under control.... another reminder! I got lock jaw while working as a floor nurse! My jaw had increasing pain through the week, and I revisited the dentist. Nothing wrong with my tooth. At work, it sealed shut (and not to be gross) but when you have an intense cramp like that, it causes immense pain. I do in fact throw up sometimes from the pain. Well if your mouth seals... and tons...

Snowglobes of Wonder and Joy

I made snowglobes!  I've always loved those, even as a little kid. Then I saw DIY's on Pinterest, and thought.... Why hadn't I thought of making them before?? So in a nutshell, jars, hot glue, brush christmas trees (or anything plastic-y) glitter... and then to fill the jar, distilled water, glitter and some corn syrup to thicken it! I made all of these (already had jars) for $4.00! We attempted a gingerbread house with some friends... as you can see it looks like a crackhouse.    So... I think it's best I stick with the kind of art I know haha! I made a lot of books this break, and Austin can't complain cause he's an Eng. Lit.  He's been busy cooking some more amazing meals and snacks! Those are a healthy alfredo with quinoa base, and the other are applechips! Visit our Recipe page for cooking instructions .:here:. Also, for those who don't already know after my super obnoxious facebook excitement...

Joyeux Noël

My Mom and Lance came out! Austin and I took it as an opportunity to cook the heck out of our kitchen for them! We got a white Christmas which was amazing. For two reasons: Mom and Lance are from California and so it was magical for them, and it could be our last white Christmas for a while! (A lot of schools are in the South.)  My mom's side of the family is very German so we celebrate Christmas Eve. We used to have minestrone soup, but everyone hated it. So... we turned to our California roots and make tortilla soup instead. As a kid, it always made sense that Christmas happened at night. All the pictures you saw of baby Jesus were at night with the star. My mom said when she was little, she just thought German kids were special haha! I made my mom and Lance some hardcase books, a snowglobe, and got them a ceramic ornament. Santa also surprised them in the morning with a stocking ;) My grandma Hofmann used to make these egg ornaments (she passed away in 19...
