Solemn vow

Looking through Christmas albums makes me happy, nostalgic, and hopeful for the future. It also conjures up in me some strong emotions about aging. (dont ask) but whatever the case I, Makaroni, do solemnly swear to never become so old as to accept pants with slouchy crotches as acceptable!!! That is all. Merry Christmas to all!

Lay off the chicken, Makaroni!

So the good news is that my boobs are substantially bigger. The bad news is that so is everything else and I will be needing new bras and pants for Christmas! (sigh!) U hear that Santa? Dangit! I stood in line patiently and waited to have my picture taken with him only for this FRAUD to tell me that I only get one wish this year! Its a recession he says! HA! So much for my much needed human blanket. Next year?

I almost killed myself!

Its Halloween and as I hear the screeches outside of the window of the medical school, I cant help but think of all the horrors that I have been spared this year. One that comes to mind most immediately is the incident that almost killed me TWICE this week! I will only tell one story because both incidents occured in exactly the same fashion.
Yea so ne ways Im in my obstetric rotation (which, by the way I DESPISE), and Im sitting in a student "lecture". I have never been a "lecture person" in the sense that I am a self-diagnosed adult ADHD and absolutely hate being talked at. So Im sitting there feigning interest, with my back to the attending with the instinctual knowing of what was to follow. My eyes become a burden, my arms? useless twigs. The weight of my vast knowledge no longer held by its structural support! Then suddenly, without warning, my head gives way and i fall sideways away from my seat only to catch myself before the final plunge with a sudden wide-eyed stare that elicited much stifled glee from my compatriots.
Now with my back still to the attending, Im only hoping he did not see my sudden swift shift. Meanwhile, I launch a menacing grimace to my classmates in an attempt to sober their hushed giggles and grins. Minutes pass....The attending says nothing of it. Phew!
As we were dismissed for the day he leisurely mentions the topics for the presentations next week and adds hopefully we will all be well rested so that none of us come in here narcoleptic! (or something to that effect) (Sigh) Foiled once again!

to do list

I think before I die i want to eat a spider...just to see how it tastes...

SKILLZ

Whoa! I just witnessed my cat master a skill that has the potential to eradicate any need of a man!!! Gotta love pets. ;)

All things considered

All things considered, id have to say Im a pretty lucky gal. Sitting in the surgery call room at 1 am, trying to be intensely still, I am SO thankful to be alive. all the craziness I have witnessed today reminds me how much God is with me. How much He cares for me and protects me. When I remember not to get bogged down with my emotions, the craziness of the highs and lows my mind forces me to experience, I realize I have come so far. Enjoying the journey
