Wedding Day!

Today a friend of mine from nursing school is getting married. She invited us to the rehearsal dinner last night and of course to the wedding today. We decided to stay in Bloomington overnight instead of driving 50 miles to Indy and back and the plan was to camp at a nearby state park to save money. That's right. I figured I could get pretty at a campsite's bathroom as well as anywhere.
Now, on our way to this camping adventure my husband and I were having a conversation about whether we were more afraid of people or animals when camping. I fear animals. Bears and mountain lions etc. I think Chris was shown the film "Deliverance" at too tender an age because he is terrified of country-folk and seems convinced that there are hillbillies waiting to pounce on unsavvy city-dwelling-campers. However, when we pulled up to the park's entrance we noticed that the 2008 Audi in front of us had the bumper stickers "I love the first amendment" and "actually, guns DO kill people." This sort of blew his image of our fellow campers to the side a little. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to experience a night surviving in a southern Indiana state park with Chris because the campsite was full! Thank goodness for friendships in youth because a pal who rents a home in Bloomington allowed us to stay with him. I have to say though, I locked the bedroom door when I heard our friend's roommate come home and pull out one record to play the song, "Hit Me With Your Best Shot."
I don't know if it's possible to let go of all fear of people while you sleep. Also, at a wedding.

Two Years Later

While I'm fairly certain that no one reads this blog since it has been neglected for the past two years, I'm going to start posting again as if nothing has happened. Because I have decided to get back into cyberworld I decided that I should probabaly change my profile information, as I have changed considerably in the past few years. When I was sorting through the list of "industries" available for me to chose from, I was disappointed to see that there wasn't the option of Nursing or Healthcare or even (G-d forbid I chose this) Medicine. As I was scrolling through, I thought about all the things that Nursing necessitates: Art, Human Resources, Architecture--(of the human body?) there was even an option of "Chemicals." --Drugs? That probably counts. Fashion?--If you're careful about scrub selection... It sounds cliche and to any nurses or student nurses it is beyond cliche and moves into the obnoxious category, to say "one can do ANYTHING with nursing." Nevertheless, given the inappropriate options presented to me what was my mind supposed to revert to? I decided to choose Chemicals. Nursing almost always involves drugs. At least, it seems that way now that I'm expected to know a lot about them to take the Board exam.
