Taxes are done and so is ACLS

I have spent a portion of most of my days off this month studying for ACLS (advanced cardiac life support).  It is something as an er nurse that I have to recert in every 2 years, and I always stress about it.  Real life situations are different than the testing and as I get older I like tests less and less.  So the good news is that I am done for 2 years,yahoo, and should only have to take it once more before I (hopefully) retire.  Still have to do the Pediatric equivelant of acls this fall and trauma course next year. I spent Friday evening surfing blogs on the net.  It was so nice to not have anything I had to study for or do.   My taxes are done and ready to take to accountant Tue.  Spent the weekend doing them.  I really need to do the paperwork at least every month  instead of tying up 2 days getting it together.  I always start out good in Jan. (easy as there are few receipts to keep tract of) but by the time I'm done with the first fiber show I tend to forget all about entering the info into the ledger! I was happy with how the show year ended so now I have to spend Feb creating since I haven't gotten anything done in Jan.   The bracelets and pins/brooches sold very well so need to  make more of those.  Have some ideas for different designs that I need to try out.     

Two for Tuesday-Books made into Movies

Two recent movies that have been made from books are THE HELP by Kathryn Stockett and THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO by Steig Larsson. Both of them are on my list to read and see. Will have to rent The Help as it's no longer at my local theater but hope The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo stays here until next week so I can see that on "the big screen". Everyone that I've talked to that has read or seen either or both books/movies have loved them. One of the docs I work with had rented the Swedish film with subtext and he loved it and now we have it out in English so that's even better. The Help is Kathryn Stockett's first book but Steig Larsson wrote two other books before he died, The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest and they are on my list to read also.
