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.  :)

Chewbeads are baby-safe jewelry, especially great for teething (although I'm pretty sure you'll want to wear them way after the teething stops).  Here are a few of the specifics, straight from their site : - Beads are made with 100% silicone (similar to pacifiers & nipples) - Soft on babies gums and emerging teeth - Easily cleaned with dish soap & water,

Land of Nod Giveaway!!! (CLOSED)

Giveaway is CLOSED. Giveaway, it's a giveaway!!! $50 Land of Nod Gift Card! I'm obsessed with The Land of Nod .  I'm sure this is no surprise.  As you know, a whole lot of Eloise's room came from there.  And we continue to loooove, love, love their products.  SO, just recently, they came out with some amazing and adorable new products .  I can't get over how cute the new beddings are...these would have seriously been in the running for EA had they existed then.  And the blue Jenny Lind bed is the perfect shade of aqua, all funky and polished at the same time.  In love.  And, if you happen to like poufs, too, a faux leather (and somewhat cheaper) version of one for kids (or adults).  Oh, yes, and the rugs...seriously amazing...  I need to stop.   Anyways, these sweet people at the Land of Nod have offered to give one lucky reader a 50 dollar gift card .  Yep, that's right.  I'm pretty stinking excited.  I kind of wish I could enter!  For details,

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 can enter? Anyone – Old readers, new
