To be.. or not to be.. an MD

So since day one in nursing school.. i have always had the feeling of " I want more." I am the nerdy one who goes home after work and looks up a bunch of new things I heard at work. Well I have been having the overwhelming feeling of being a doc... what do you think??? Despite what you think.. I have pretty much made up my mind..I think up until now I have allowed others opinions, good and bad... of persuading me one way or another. I figured even med school, residency and specialziing I could be done by 35??? That's not that old folks. Besides everybody needs a good MD in the family right?? Give me your thoughts???

Just say NO!!!

I am determined to grow out my hair. I always say I will, but always end up cutting it off. I think it is time for a change and I am curious to see how I would look with my hair longer, I can't remember the last time it was long. So all of you are to help me just say no!!!!!!!!!!! When I talk about cutting my hair! I got it cut about two weeks ago, she had to straighten up the hack job I had received in D.C., so from now on it's only trims. For those of you that really know me.. I love cutting and changing my hair.. so this will not be an easy thing for me.

Isn't he cute...

I had to post a few of these pictures because.. yes I have turned into a crazy lady who's dog is like her child. When I say bedtime, he runs in and gets in my bed just like this..I think it is hilarious. He is like a little human being.

Five year old could do better!

The apartment complex I moved into offers to paint an accent wall for $50. I thought what a great deal! Little did I know that I was going to get a pain job that looked as if a five year old could have done better. Needless to say.. they will be back in to fix this..it's the first thing I notice when I walk in my house. As Sophie said "they need to learn to color in the lines."

Quiet is never good...

He is obsessed with this box. I need to fix a drawer on my dresser so for now I have my socks in this box. I hide it in the closet because he is constantly trying to get my socks and tear every pair out of the box. The same goes for puppies as it does for little kids, if it all of a sudden becomes quiet.. be alarmed.. quiet=up to no good! He got into the closet, got out the box, and was having a great time with my socks. I had a hard time getting mad at him when his ears look like this!!!

Strange noise...

Sophie and Angie told me they kept hearing a starnge noise while they were at my house. I listend and listened and didn't hear a thing. Well later that day me and my Mom heard it also.. we couldn't figure out what in the world it was. Later on my mom was over by my favorite vase and saw it was cracked... we looked at it and it was cracked all over!! For those of you who know me well, know that I love this vase(yes I know its just a vase) but I lsove decorating, and this was my favorite. It was a costco special!! Well I was the dumb one that decided to move it with the rocks in it and needless to say the banging of the rocks on the vase during the move.. probably contributed to the shattering of the vase. We decided to leave it as is, as I looked for it's replacement and would eventually have to get rid of it. I walked around carefully for days just waiting for it to spontaneously shatter and scare me to death! I knew it was going to happen when I finally forgot about it, and it would scare me! Well it did, one quiet day, I was sitting working on my computer when CRASH!!!! Time of death 22:27.

I hate moving!!

Moving time again! This time for good! Because of the cute little furry thing I picked up along the way in Virginia, I needed to move once I got home to a place where I could have a pet. Can I just say I hate moving!!! The packing.. the heavy furniture and the cleaning the new place(it can never be too clean) and cleaning the old!! I was lucky to persuade my brother, brother-in-law and cousin to help me with the big stuff. I hated to tell them, but thought it was nicer than to suprise them, but I found a place with a great view of the mountains and over looking the golf course. One draw back... it is on the third floor!!! Sorry boys!!!!!!!!!! They were great sports... they only gave a few dirty looks, and complained every so slightly!! I don't know how they did it, because after the first day of me just moving boxes by my self.. my legs were burning!!!! It was done in just a few hours.. and I was unpacked in two days thanks to the worlds best organizer, my MOM! Believe it or not, I had a tremendous amount of help from Sophie Rose, she was such a trooper. She loves packing! She didn't want me to do any without her. It is amazing the amount of stuff and junk one single person can accumulate!!!

So what would you think if you went in the kitchen in the dark.. to get a glass of water. You get on a chair to reach the top shelf to get a plastic cup (all others are packed) and once you get eye level with that shelf this is what you see....
what you would you assume this was.. remember.. its dark..



No its not a spider!!!! After falling off the kitchen chair.. and scrambling for the light.. I discovered it was a VERY old potato!!!

My little monkey...

35 hours and 2,100 miles later....

This post is long over do! I have plenty of things to catch up on.. so bare with me.. As most of you know by now.. I am home! Let me tell you what a LONG drive it was! I had good music... lots of books on tape.. and lots of dog toys and treats. I even tried Benadryl with the puppy hoping it would help him sleep. However, it back fired and he threw up in the hotel and the car! Back East was beautiful... but once I hit Nebraska and Wyoming it was so boring it was painful!!It The car was packed and the only place left for the puppy was the front seat. He was actually pretty good in the car.. the only problem is he likes to be close to me.. so every time he tried to get closer to me he would shift the car from drive to neutral.. I thought this picture was hilarious.. here I am doing everything possible to keep my eyes open and he gets to lay back and relax.. tough being him!
