change

When people are ready to, they change. They never do it before then, and sometimes they die before they get around to it. You can’t make them change if they don’t want to, just like when they do want to, you can’t stop them.

— Andy Warhol

Nursing Interview

So tomorrow I have my interview for nursing school at Westminster. That is my number one choice for schools, so I'm a little nervous. I actually feel pretty good about it, but I think you always get nervous when it's something that important! So anyway, I've been getting my application together for the past couple weeks and that's why I've been in school again. I picked out my outfit tonight (of course) and I think I'm all ready!

Wish me luck!

21. a recipe

Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Ingredients

• 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 tablespoon sour cream
• 10 pickled jalapeno pepper slices, or to taste - chopped
• 2 ciabatta sandwich rolls
• 4 teaspoons butter
• 8 tortilla chips, crushed
• 1/2 cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese

Directions

1. Combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and pickled jalapeno in a small bowl. Set aside. Preheat skillet over medium heat.
2. Slice each roll in half horizontally, then slice the rounded tops off the ciabatta rolls to make a flat top half. Spread 1 teaspoon butter on the doughy cut side of the bottom bun and 1 teaspoon butter on the now flattened top bun. Place half of the cream cheese mixture, half of the crushed chips, and half of the shredded cheese on the non-buttered side of the bottom bun. Place the top half of the bun on the sandwich and place the sandwich on the hot skillet. Repeat with the second sandwich.
3. Grill until lightly browned and flip over, about 3 to 5 minutes; continue grilling until cheese is melted and the second side is golden brown.

26. a dream i had recently

I don't really remember my dreams, but I had one that I was flying recently and I remember we were like going to the wrong place and I was freaking out, but then all the sudden I wasn't on a plane anymore and I was just at the beach, but I was so hot because I was wearing a sweater, but I couldn't take it off. And then I woke up or something. It was stupid.

I love this whole outfit too, but mostly the clutch/purse and watch. If someone could tell me where I could find this bag I would just love you.

I love this room. Not sure that I would necessarily decorate my house like this, but I just love the look of it. I REALLY like the chairs and the matching bowl on the table.

I wish I could get my hair to do this...sadly I don't have enough hair.

Girls Night Out

Last weekend, Janell and I attended an organized "Girls Night Out" at Pierpont Place up in Salt Lake. It was actually really fun. They had food, dancing, a raffle, and then things like manicures, pedicures, henna, feather extensions, etc. Janell and I both won things and then just hung out with all these random people all night. There were quite a few "older" women having the time of their lives on the dance floor. (I wish I had video).

However, I got into a conversation with one lady who kept telling me how beautiful we were and not to throw it away, but she did give me some advice that I thought about for a while. She was telling me to enjoy my youth and not waste it etc, but the thing that stuck out to me was when she said if she could tell me anything it was, to "Be Choosey". I feel like this probably is a very good thing to remember. I guess it just made me think a lot lately because I am making some big decisions about school and dating and etc. I feel like this is the time in my life where it is important for me to be choosey more than any other time, because this is the time in my life where I can be a little bit selfish and make sure that I get the things that I need for me. I just want to be happy and have a good life :)

I always recommend a good girls night out.

so just

So just kiss me, and let my hair messy itself in your fingers. Let me steady myself in the arms of a man who won’t ask me to be what he needs, but lets me exist as I am.
