New York Food

My favorite New York foods

Cheesecake at Roxy's in Time Square was my favorite dessert place. No picture is needed b/c I still remember the taste... it's that good! Roxy's also has the most ginormous club sandwich.  Order it, split it between 4 people, and you'll be amazed. Loved me a good 'ol Nathan's baseball hot dog. Utz potato chips are an Eastern thing. The pizza is the closest to Italy's that i've tasted in the US. I suggest sharing a piece of pizza, dessert, sandwich, or whatever you want w/ whoever you are with every 2-3 hours while in New York. You are sure to stay satisfied, experience a wide variety of foods, and probably even save some money. 

Lord, I Offer My Life to YOU

Wake up.
Have some God time.
Turn off the turbo fan that should get paid for what a good job it does at drowning out noise.
Realize that God creates better noise, crickets. I don't want to see them but they make the perfect "thinking"music.
After some God and cricket time, I conclude with this simple, heart-felt song.

All that I am, all that I have
I lay them down before you, oh Lord
All my regrets, all my acclaims
The joy and the pain, I'm making them yours.

Lord I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice,
Lord I offer you my life.

Things in the past, things yet unseen
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true
All of my heart, all of my praise
My heart and my hands are lifted to you.

Lord I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice,
Lord I offer you my life.

Rug Love

When I moved a few months ago, I decided that pink could not be a main color in my room so a shade of blue won. I have now decided that my $20 blue paisley sheets from Wally World are getting on my nerves and pink will take over my room once again...i'm happy! Here are some rugs that I would enjoy resting my feet on:

Number 1:

Number 2:

Urban Outfitter's Beautimous Rug

Number 3:

Urban Outfitter's Beautimous Rug2

Only hold up: my bedspread is white, not true white, but white. Therefore, all of these rugs except my least fav of the three have too much tan/off/yellow color in them. 

Which is your favorite?

Renaming

"Blonde Moments" is just more fitting. I am a natural blonde (dreading the mousey brownish blonde color that awaits me). I love to laugh but a majority of the time I spend laughing is over something that is completely thoughtless, stupid, FUNNY, and random. I can get myself into some of the most random situations that make even me say "really Amy?!?!"(like the time I spent $100 dollars on gas at Sam's Club and created a gasoline lake all b/c I was talking on the phone to a boy, stupid boys). And... sometimes I'm a little on the immature side (like when I'm on the phone w/ a foreign Dr, can't understand what she's trying to tell me, try to clarify and be mature, but instead I start laughing and have to remove the phone from my face... grow up!) I can be smart and intelligent when I choose to be. I am sensitive. I cherish my friends, family, and health. I love a good chick flick and love story. Shopping for bargains is a favorite hobby. And so on and so forth... I'm blonde and I hope you enjoy it.

Multicultural Day

A hispanic mom told me (in spanish) that my arms were pale and hairy while petting me. Sweet lady, just stating the facts. I laughed, tried to clarify, then she ended up laughing at me, ha!

I was amazing and motivated by a sign language communicating lady today. The newest word in my sign language vocabulary is "you're welcome."

Goodnight bloggers!

Strange Things are Happenin' Here

I get a call on my hospital phone, "this is Amy."
"Yes, my ______ just bit a hole in____ IV tubing."
"What?.... Ok, i'll be in there in a minute."
I walk down the hall expecting the bed to be wet and expect to change the IV tubing and bed sheets.
All my expectations were fulfilled except the IV fluid was blood. There was blood everywhere. I walked in and turned right back around to get the neccassary items to fix this strange happening. Really, who bits a hole in their IV tubing. You can fill in the blanks due to HIPPA. Only a cute little ______, hyped up on steroids and albuterol running on 3 hrs of sleep in the past 48 hrs. Man this patient was a cutie and _____ mom was the most patient woman. I want to have her patience one day! In the mom's defense, she was ordering dinner and this patient was waaaay ornery, sneaky, and fast. Moral to the story, next time you have an IV, keep it out of your mouth no matter how tempting the though of rubber tubing between your teeth might seem. I enjoy ending my day w/ these kinds of stories.

End of Summer Days

                                         

Bailey came to visit and B took us to the infamous Pho.

Snow cones w/ work friends and pup. The corner of Broadway and 2nd has the best snowcones.

B's first and long over due trip to Pops.

Our drinks. Sorry B for getting you Diet on your first experience.  Looks like we better go back tomorrow.

Table decoration/strawberry ball I made for soon-to-be Mrs. Kari Boyd's wedding shower. The idea is a keeper, simple, and takes 30-40 min to construct.

Celebrating the Smith's 22nd wedding anniversary on the Oklahoma River cruise. It was alot of fun and beautiful. Thank you Smith's for being an example to me!

The "cruise was very peaceful and showed the beautiful parts of the Oklahoma city area. Everything is still green! This pic is one of my favorites b/c of the trolley on the bridge. 

That's all for now. NYC here is come. Watch the Today Show on Friday. That's the only reason i'm going to the wonderful city and I want you to see me and sister sarah on TV. YAY! Later gaters.
