Random Dozen & A Bit More

I've been having a BUSY week so far. This week I have school Monday through Thursday all day & hospice externship all day Friday. We are going to the lab on Thursday. My teacher is going to show us where our clinicals will take place. Should be interesting.

Monday I was a bit late for school because as I was leaving, I came out my apartment door and noticed a puddle of water right in front of my door. We share a hallway with the lady upstairs from us. I will give you the Cliff Notes version. Her hot water heater broke and leaked in her closet which is above our doorway. Luckily outside the apartment. Right before the entrance door we both share. When I saw the water, I went to turn the light on to see what was going on. As I touched the light switch I felt water dripping on my hand. The light switch and wall were both soaked. Thank the good Lord I didn't get electrocuted. I ran to the car, dropped off my bookbag and went to the super's apartment. I also almost fell on my ass three times slipping on black ice. I can never win. Anyway, I called my upstairs neighbor on her cell phone. She works in NYC and leaves here around 5:30am. She gave the super and I permission to go in her apartment. We had to go in and move furniture and a boatload of stuff out of her closet to get to a second interior closet (within the closet) which housed the hot water heater. Luckily we got in and the super was able to shut off the valve. Alot of the stuff in her closet was destroyed. I felt bad for her. Thank God that nothing went into my apartment!! Problem avoided. I've had enough drama the past few weeks!

Now onto the weekly feature...

1. Do you prefer even or odd numbers? Any particular reason?
I prefer even numbers for some strange reason. Not sure why. I always liked the number 2 and 12 and 24. Must be the twos.

2. On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being "not at all" and 10 being Carly Simon-worthy, how vain are you?
One...seriously. I am very hard on myself.

3. Among these Irish stereotypes, with which do you identify most closely? Talkative, Proud, Inquisitive, Love to party, Hot-tempered
I guess talkative. Depends on who I am with though.

4. How lucky do you consider yourself?
I am unlucky in some aspects of my life. However, I am very lucky & blessed in other aspects of my life. I have a wonderful family, great friends, and now with school, hopefully I will find a great job once I graduate.

5. What is the subject of your favorite post that you've written?
I'm not sure what my favorite post was. Probably something about my cat Harley.

Freezing, Snowy, and Icy

Pretty apt.

8. How "green" are you, environmentally speaking?
I'm ashamed to say but not very green at all.

9. What is your favorite song this week?
There is this new female singer/guitarist. Her name is Orianthi. She is AMAZING! She is a female Eddie Van Halen who can sing. She was Michael Jackson's lead guitarist on his "This Is It" tour but obviously things changed. Her song "According To You" has been stuck in my head. PLEASE give her a listen. You have to watch her guitar solo. I am also going to post a video of her doing a Michael Jackson song guitar solo as well. Let me know what you think.
Orianthi ~ "According To You" (guitar solo at 2:10 mark)

Orianthi ~ "Beat It" guitar solo alongside MJ. ---> Amazing!

10. You are walking along and see a coin on the ground. What denomination does it have to be before you will stop to pick it up?
At least a nickel on heads of course.

11. Complete the sentence: "Every time I look outside my window ...."
I see snow! I keep hoping it will be spring.

12. What was the #1 song on the day you were born?
"Song Sung Blue" by Neil Diamond
