Lucky

On Monday on my way to my friend Molly's parent's house, I was involved in a car accident.

First off, I was okay. I was turning left when I was rear ended. My car was pushed forward and thrown into a ditch so that I ended up facing the other direction.

 This is what's left of my bumper. The front of my car was unharmed.

 This is the back of my car. Notice the red paint on the tires. They were installed four hours prior to the accident. Brand new.

 My trunk doesn't close anymore . . .

The other driver was intoxicated. She initially blew a 0.22, but the official number at the station is 0.12 (numbers are off the top of my head).

I am very blessed that I am completely safe and that I walked away.

Product Review

This is not my picture.

I wish I was as good at putting on these nail strips as this person was.

However, I had a really hard time putting these on.

I think if you want to try these, make sure you have PLENTY of time. I thought I could do it in a hurry before I went out, but it ended up taking me over 20 minutes. Then I had to hurry to get ready and chipped a few of them.

I have another box, and I'm going to try them again.

I don't think they are worth paying $10 for!!!

If you try them, get a practice set on clearance. Take your time with them. Make sure your hands are warm. Let them set like regular nail polish (they need a couple minutes to mold to your nails).

Bedspread

Just ordered this bedspread for my bedroom!

I hope it's as pretty as it looks!!

A lot of my bedroom accessories are pink, so I think the pink and black will look nice together until I can keep upgrading. I have to figure out some other fun colors to go with it. I think teal would look really nice too!

No Good

This week has been quite crazy! I spent the first few days making chemo in the cancer center. It was very busy. Today I was back in the main pharmacy, and it was soo busy. I barely had a minute to get out of my chair. I ate my lunch at 2:30.


Today I learned that one of my favorite professors died. He always was a little gruff and very private, but he wrote me all of my letters of recommendation in my job search. We wrote back and forth and I made a point to stop and say hi to him at all the home Butler games. The last time I saw him at a game he gave me a huge hug and made me feel really proud. I was glad to have him as my mentor and friend. I will miss him very much.


Tonight some of my Deltas are coming over to watch Greys and eat some good food.

Plans for Tomorrow

My plans are to get up and watch this:

Pretty excited to work evenings tomorrow!

New Years Resolutions

So, I've actually been thinking some about resolutions this year! I rarely make them, but here are some serious and silly goals for this year.

1) Stop saying "sorry."
     I've never been an assertive person at all. This week I've decided to stop caring what other people think,
     and it's totally great and so much more fun. Hopefully I can stick with it.

2) Work Out
     I need to go to the gym a couple times a week or else I feel like a giant blob.

3) Actually Eat Dinner
     I should probably eat on a regular basis. Normal people do that, right?

4) Beat all 39 Achievements on Words with Friends
    I have 28 of them right now.

Life, the Universe, and Everything

Hi guys!
I haven't posted in awhile.
I've been working WAYYYYY too much.

My job I spend half of the time working in the main pharmacy. We fill all of the medicines for everyone in the hospital, so I put what the doctors order into the computer. I check and make sure all of the IVs are being made correctly and that everything gets up to the floor for the nurses.

The other half of the time, I am up on the floors looking at charts, making sure people are getting the right antibiotics, and adjusting people's meds based on their age and kidney function. Usually people have to spend more time in post graduate training to do that, so it's exciting that I get to work on the floors as part of my job!! It also means that I have a lot to learn! The last two weeks I was up on the floors by myself for the first time. My coworkers are good at helping me, but I am sooooo sleepy.

We have a family practice residency program, and normally there is a pharmacist dedicated to helping them with their patients. She was gone this week, so I got a lot of extra questions from the resident doctors! (Unfortunately my favorite cute resident wasn't on service AND he has a girlfriend. booooooo!) I'm off this weekend, and I'm so glad to have a break!!

Christmas was great. I got a new TV and one of these:




I didn't ask for a Wii, so I'm really excited. Right now I have Paper Mario. Let me know if you know of any fun games! I want to get a few extra controllers and a fun multiplayer game. There's a Mario baseball game that looks fun.

I also ordered myself a Christmas present:


If you use the coupon code HOLIDAY on kiehls.com, you get $20 off right now. There's also free shipping over $50, so I ordered myself the liter bottle of Creme De Corps. EEEEEEEK. splurge :-)

I also got myself an OPI gift set at ULTA with mini bottles of their most popular colors!



I probably should end my beauty shopping spree soon!!!
I hope everyone has a great weekend. HAPPY NEW YEARS!
