    We put a new bike on layaway for me! I'm going to either sell or trade in my old one ... I call it "old," but I've ridden it once, exactly once! Terrible. But it's too big for me, so I always felt like I was going to wreck -- not comfortable. But the new one is awesome!! It's a Giant Suede GX W, 3-speed, and it's fine for my uber-short legs!

    Got a new tattoo yesterday! :) I was going to wait until it was less red and the blood-lining around the green spiral was less apparent (it'll completely heal to nothing), but she's so freakin' cute, I couldn't wait! So here she is. :) The green will lighten up a lot when it's all healed, too. My skin is still a little angry today! Michael put some bubbles in the medication, too. Hee! That's my inner left calf area, by the way.

    It's official ... I passed!!! Lisa Sarao, GN! (That's "Graduate Nurse," in case you didn't know!) And you know what's cool? Today is exactly one year, one month, and one day after I took my first exam in this program. :-)

    WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO! Huge relief! HUGE!! Thank you so much, everyone, for all the thoughts, prayers, etc. ... I almost blew it this morning, but recovered for the pass! :)

    I'll post more details later ... it's time for ice cream! :) (Sugar-free, of course. ;))
