It's official.

I have my white coat.  Actually, it's no more official really than when I started two months ago, but it feels like it.  Our white coat ceremony was last Friday, at the end of our first exam week.  Unit One - Done.  Honestly, my brain felt (still feels a bit) like a brick wall by the end of the last exam.  But they are over.  I've spent the past few days trying to feel like a human being again, but it seems that's a slow process.  It has all continued to be rough, but I've made it.  And I'm really proud of myself.  Honestly, I have a hard time saying that sometimes, but right now, I can say it confidently.  I can't say I've handled it all gracefully, nor am I near a top student in my class, but I have made it one-fifth of the way through.  And I've heard that it only gets easier from here, or at least that you have learned how to do things and handle it better.  So cheers to that!  Cheers to a few days off!  And cheers to venipuncture practice today and the fact that I didn't blow anyone's vein.


Being coated.


With my dad, who has been a PA now for 19 years.  He is very helpful.


With Zach, who is dealing with all of my stress.  This is also very helpful.  :)

Another Chewbeads Giveaway - Open until 6/11.

YAY!   Another Chewbeads Necklace Giveaway – the Turquoise Hudson !   Giveaway will close on Monday, 6/11 at 10pm – winner will be announced by Wednesday evening. So, this go around, the necklace is a gift from me as a thank you for reading or visiting this tiny little blog.  Also, because it’s really fun to give stuff away.   So, I’ll be giving away one specific necklace, the Turquoise Hudson , since it seemed to be the overall favorite last time!   Chewbeads have actually even improved since the last giveaway - they're now lighter weight and don't snag on long hair! You all know I’m a little obsessed with them , and I still wear them, even with E at 16 months.   Actually, she was just chewing on them the other day (same day as the pic above– I swear she chews on them, I just never catch it).   And – she cries for the Charles bangles when I wear them.   She’s convinced they are hers, I assume.   So...Who c...

Stocking time!

So, I know not everyone is ready for the holidays, but if we’ve been friends for any amount of time, you’re probably aware of my Christmas obsession.  Plus, the addition of kid number three right before the holidays/feeling essentially miserable being this pregnant have given me motivation to get things done early. Our stockings are hung by the chimney with care (yay for having a mantle!) already, and we'll be putting up our tree tonight (first artificial tree ever for me - still not quite sure how I feel about it...).  I’m working some kind of combo fall/Christmas tablescape in the dining room since we’ll be hosting Thanksgiving here, but otherwise it's all Christmas, all the time.  Anyways, the point is that I’ve had a lot of people ask about our stockings over the past few years, and I thought I’d  take the opportunity to provide the information, as well as some other adorable options.  Maybe it will cut down on shopping time for even just a few of you? ...
