Have you missed me?

I know, I know...you have been sitting on the edge of your seat, biting your nails and just aching to read yet another compelling blog post regarding "the life of Audie." Totally joking. But I sure have missed the blogging world and I have written, what, 3 blogs?! I am a total weirdo.

My life has been in full on CRAZY-OUT OF CONTROL-BUSY mode and I am just catching up...two days before school is about to start. Go figure. I am not about to catch ya'll up on every detail that has occurred in my life over the past 3 weeks, I will tell you that A LOT has gone on and A LOT has been accomplished. So, as I sit here listening to my happy hound dog, Peggy the Peg-leg Plowden, hound howl at Scout for taking her toy, I will give you a quick recap of the MAY-JOR things happening.

First of all, I got an "A" in Microbiology! Hollaaaaa!!! Now don't get me wrong, I did take it at Midlands Tech (thinking it would be an "easy A") but boy was I wayyyy wrong! That s**t is HARD! Excuse the potty mouth! Second, I got my scrubs for Upper Division nursing at, DARE I SAY IT, the University of South Carolina, and can I please say...it is going to be a SERIOUS STRUGGLE, a joy to put those things on every morning I head to the hospital. They are garnet (my least favorite color) with USC monogrammed on the front pocket. And to top that all off, when it gets cold, there is an adorable white jacket with the Carolina "C" monogrammed on the pocket...someone just shoot me now. I know my Granddaddy Howard is rolling over in his grave as we speak. NOT COOL. But, its all for a good cause and a good career, right? That is what I have to keep telling myself ;)

In other news, aka major things accomplished these past few weeks...the wedding is 99% planned...the ONLY thing I have to do is get my wonderful fiancé to sit down for a few hours one weekend and we pick out a cake and some yummy cake flavors. This should be the easiest part of the planning. #1 - Mark and I both want the same flavor. #2 - We both want a super simple cake design. Easy enough...now to find a cake "designer" that doesn't break the bank. Ya'll can I please get on my soap box for uno momento?? What in the world are these cake bakers thinking??? 14$ per slice on a wedding cake? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! I don't even think the Cheesecake Factory charges that much for a slice of "to dye for" cheesecake! Holy toledo! Okay, off the soap box. Of course there are a few minor details to sort out regarding the wedding...but nothing as serious as tent, band, tables, chairs, linens, food, PHOTOGRAPHER! If anyone is in need of a FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC photographer, go visit Tracy Turpen's website and her blog ASAP.

I am sorry to rant, rave and bore you...but I figured I would try my best to catch you up on my life for the past few weeks. Just know that I will not stay away as long as I did this time...I know that excites each of you!

peace, love and sex & the city.
