So, currently I don't remember if I blogged about the fact that my World of Warcraft account got hacked a little while back. Whatever. It did. I got all my "stuff" back in a very speedy time (go Blizzard). And, no, to anyone who plays WoW, I did NOT currently have my Authenticator active on my account. I'd taken it off because its annoying.
Anyhow, I changed my password and re-added my Authenticator and started thinking about how in the world anyone got ahold of my password to hack into my account.
I never understood why everyone bothered saying crap like, change your password frequently, blah blah blah. I was like...if they're going to get my password, they're going to use it, whether I change it every day or not, that's lame.
I think I understand now. I may be wrong. However, hackers are lazy and slow. They'll hack my account, but it'll take them a while before they attempt to utilize the password. So maybe when that stupid virus got on my old computer it hacked my WoW account password. But it took the hacker people weeks til they hit my account.
So, there. Hackers are lazy, dumb asses who can't even bother to get around to using their illegally acquired information til later. So THAT's why you change your password often. Cause of the a-holes who can't even bother to hack you in a respectable timeline.

OMG, I'm actually blogging again. Beware of length. You've been warned
So, ya, SORRY its been so long. I've just been LAZY.
Brandon will be done with the police academy coming up here soon. I believe he'll start hitting the streets in training in June. He's totally excited. The only thing we're not excited about is gas usage, lol. But we need to keep saving up money for a little bit longer before we start looking into moving. I think living destinations might be around Frisco and Flower Mound. We'll see.
Of course, a contributing factor is that the ol' Toyota Tacoma is no longer functioning as his vehicle. Something about busted A/C compressor, I don't know what he was talking about, especially since he woke me up just to tell me (NEVER a good idea. If you don't need me to do something immediately, don't bother waking me up.) Anyhow, we went out and bought a new truck that night. Turns out, I have a rocking credit score! This baby is all in my name. Here is the truck, courtesy of my iPhone, the next morning.
Because its so pretty it was required that I wash my car the next day. I have pics of that, but you've all seen my car, likely both clean and dirty, so I'll spare you.
If you missed it, here it is, Brandon's getting tazed video lol.
He hurt pretty bad after that but he's getting better now. It tensed his back muscles up a lot and since he'd been anticipating it, he was tense already lol. Fine, maybe its wrong that I'm laughing but we all know he'll be just fine.
Works going fine. It is kinda weird now that I've been there like a year and 9 months and a couple of the new girls will come to me and ask me questions I've found myself asking the senior nurses many times before over the past year and 9 months lol. So, its kinda cool cause they're like holding me to what I should have learned. And, per usual, I give them explanations of what I've learned in much more detail than maybe they desire, but I can't help it! I want them to know why I never give them a direct answer, because with the different patients we have (some are neurosurgery with bleeds, some are neurosurgery without bleeds, some are urology that are at risk for bleeding, some are ENT who are always freaking bleeding, some are plastics AND ENT who have tissue moved from one area of their body to another to function as a better version of the original [like making you new boobs from the fat and tissue in your stomach and getting a tummy tuck out of it at the same time], and so they all require slightly different thought processes!). Either way, it feels weird cause I would still totally describe myself as a newb, but I have to pretend to be an educated/wiser newb now. Eek.
On that note I'm thinking about getting my Critical Care RN and/or my Certified Neuroscience RN. Its just studying and taking a test for both and I'd technically get paid more but it'd be like, $50 a month more or something silly. And, I plan to try to start towards my Masters in Nursing to be a Nurse Practitioner in the Spring of 2011. The applications are due in September for TWU and like October for UTA. I'll apply to both. One requires the GRE, which makes me nervous. But if I go to TWU, I'd take the Family Nurse Practitioner route, if I go to UTA, I can choose between Acute Nurse Practitioner or Family Nurse Practitioner. Acute directs you more towards like working in an ER and such, but I think if I did just Family, I could adapt anyways, just my original training as Acute would be more for people getting sick all of a sudden versus a general population of everyone. So I don't know what to do. Plus, UTA requires an essay of like why you want to be a nurse practitioner and, in short, my answer is because I like to keep learning and finding better ways to "fix" my patients, and the hours and money would be sweeter. I think that's a crappy answer lol. I know I'll love being an NP, but like when I wanted to be an RN I had a great idea of where I wanted to work. Right now, given that NP is a couple years away from actually attaining, I have no idea in what capacity I want to work so I feel like my essay is going to suck. Oh well. I should get to that business soon. Sept and Oct aren't that far away in the scope of things.
Ok, I think that's it. I'll leave you with Bella in HD (HD=happy dog).

It's official...
Brandon is now a new recruit for Denton Police Department! Yay! His first day of paid work was TODAY! Yes! They're paying him to continue attending the police academy he'd already enrolled in! How sweet is that?
He's super thrilled and basically living on cloud 9. He's already got the gun he wants picked out and, I believe, he ordered it. If you wanna know I THINK its called a Sig 2-tone 357.
Anyways, we're really proud of him and he's so happy! He's just weirded out that all those years of hoping for something is at an end cause all he has to do is not screw up training and he's got what he wants! Yay!

Speechless...
So I'm waiting for my patient to show up here at work and Wes is sending me messages about how he's cleaning his house or something. The man is crazy, by the way.
He has so far found 7 harddrives, I think. One listed as broken, 2 that are 500gb, 3 750gbs, and one 1.5 terabyte. Oh, he doesn't really remember buying the last one either. Its just somehow shown up in his house. Oh, and the harddrives were in his kitchen...and he had, I think, 6 forks in his office. Yes, I'm as confused as you are.
So, he's talking about his harddrives and says this to me:
you know what you do with hds that big........ lots of porn
but if that was the case I would be like 90 pounds from wacking off so much
....
And in case you were wondering, this blog post is approved of by Wes.
Yes, ladies, he's still single.
Edit: One more fork was found, another harddrive was found in the living room...

January in summation...
So, this has been a January unlike a couple in the past lol.
Jan 1: Left work, from WORKING NEW YEARS FREAKIN EVE, to find I had a flat tire. By the way, my spare was flat and needed repairs after that day and is still at the tire shop cause it keeps getting forgotten.
Like 2nd week of January or something, we find out Mom's breast biopsy was positive for Cancer. The next week she had the surgery to remove it lol. Course that was followed by the good news of not in the lymph nodes and they feel confident they removed it all. She starts radiation as soon as she is healed.
Brandon started school. Thats been good. He's a bit bored with it, but oh well. He's doing a good job at it.
I got to see Wes! It was fun when he came in town! He even got to see where I worked! I'm sure he's freaking thrilled about that.
The weather has, per usual, been all over the freakin place.
We celebrated our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!! We have not eaten the left over top layer of cake. I fear we won't because of Brandon's fear to not eat anything older than like 3 days, even if its been properly preserved.
I've had alcohol like three times this whole month. Maybe. Thats kinda low lol.
I've done pretty decently this past week of working out most days of this week.
I got a stomach bug and had to call in sick for my on-call shift.
My dogs are great-ish. Chewy, mom's dog, was declared fat again so I gotta find out where we failed him there since Brandon and I are responsible for his feeding portions. Ribby is still fat as always. I can't figure out how to fix that.
Though I'm not raiding in World of Warcraft, my toons, all of them, are doing pretty awesome.
Oh, and it seems my car has a radiator fluid leak again. Bah.
I'm looking forward to February. And warmer weather. And the sun. I miss the sun.

The new year so far...
So far in this year (and I may be off on the dates a little, but who cares, okay?):
I saw and LOVED Avatar! I cannot wait til it comes out so I can watch it over and over and over like a five year old.
I have not had one drink of alcohol. This is 100% unintentional. I plan to get schnockered on Saturday or Sunday.
Everyone in my family has decided I need to see the doctor for why I'm ripping my legs to shreds because now it looks like little bugs are eating my skin and making it itchy. They didn't freak out last time this happened, but I don't remember how I made it go away last time either.
Brandon has started school and is totally bored by it which of course I find hilarious! He did make an A in the class he took over Winter-mester.
Wes came in town and I got to see him TWICE this time! Although the second time we were visiting someone he knew in the hospital, at least he got to see the super duper awesome ICU where I work lol. (ya, its lame! but the person we were visiting was receiving leach therapy which is always something new and interesting to see!)
I got to run a raid on my main character with a guild I used to be in and they told me I was an awesome healer! That actually totally made my night! And I'm gearing up my 2 main alt characters, one with a piece of tier gear now! All I need is my Death Knight at lvl 80 (she's lvl 74 so she's close) and in great gear and I'll be totally happy. Ok, thats a lie. I wanna be raiding again, too, but lets take one step at a time.
And last, but certainly not least at all, and the total bummer: my mom has been diagnosed with "grade 1 ductal carcinoma breast cancer." Tomorrow (YES TOMORROW THIS IS SO FAST) she's having a lumpectomy and her lymph nodes biopsied to remove it and check if there is a chance its spread yet. She'll start radiation therapy 5 days a week for a whole freakin month after that. :( Meanwhile her momma, my grandmother, is going through the process of having a mass in her breast looked at. Before this, the closest breast cancer in my family to me was like a great-aunt or something. So, please pray for my mommy. She's doing her best to stay optimistic. They said it was non-aggressive but these things just do weird things sometimes.
Anyways, mostly good and random stuff for 2010. Here's to hoping it stays that way. January has historically been a shitty month, so lets hope that changes!
