growing up is optional: March 2009

1 i'm feeling very "listy" today so here's another unorthodox ranting/rambling post for ya!

2 It's been awhile since i've spoke of my future career plans [swallows] so here goes in writing for maybe the second time....I'm going into OB/GYN.....yup that was it did you miss it? It makes me nervous when i verbalize what i've decided to do with the rest of my life but hey gotta jump in that cold water eventually right? :) I'm actually pretty excited about it/terrified at times. We'll see how it unfolds in coming months.

3 I'm on internal medicine right now and all i can say is Thank God. Thank God because i thought it was going to be terrible and that i was going to want to rip my hair out on a daily basis. So far, its ok. I'm not in love with it that's for sure and its not really "exciting" except for when i'm just sitting around down in the ER and they call a room 9 (the trauma room) and i sneak in to watch! But other than that, we get there early, see our patients, round, do busy work and then head home. I'm learning a lot more on this service than the previous ones so thats good too, considering I have a test in 3 weeks. {oh crap!}

4 This so called "list" has morphed into a written dissertation. Oh well, you'll like it regardless.

5 There are quite a few people in our lives that are pregnant right now so in case they themselves or those close to them are reading....Matthew and I just wanted to say Congratulations and we hope things go smoothly and you grow happy, healthy babies! :) {hey it's gonna be my specialty soon enough} Anyone of you willing to let me catch your little one! haha! So Congratulations-hope you've told people by now, cause we're usually the last to know- to Gus & Carrie, Tommy & Sara (cant wait to meet your little man), Ashley & Joseph, and Brent & Emily.....i'm sure i've missed someone....don't drink any suspicious water!

6 In case i havent spoken to you about this yet, matthew and i did return home recently from a vacation only to hit a few "Bumps" in the road. To put it bluntly.....I ran over a small boulder on the way home from florida, which short circuited my car in the middle of the expressway, put a hole in my back tire, and bent a rim, a few hundred bucks later we are both safe and the cobalt pulls slightly to the left. Dang.

6 1/2 Two days ago while eating dinner matthew and i noticed a "wet spot" in the carpet of our living room. While on hands and knees we realized this spot spread under our tv. After making our way into the crawl space downstairs we realized we had water pipes leaking....nice little puddles of water in our storage space. Translation: Erin freaking out that all her CRAP is ruined! But it was leaking in a few selected places sparing most of my valuable memories :) No worries though, the leak has since been repaired, requiring only two holes to be put in the wall of our family room. We currently have the carpet and padding pulled back and a fan on it 24/7 in attempts to dry it out....smells a little funk right now.

7 We're Good. Soooo Good. No really, we've had a few potholes in the past week but we're keeping our spirits up and trying not to focus on the negative.

8 I really miss people. No seriously. If you're reading this, I probably miss you so just remember that. It's not that I don't want to see you, visit you, talk to you, call you, email you, facebook you, blog you, {haha} we just get soooo busy and by the time i get home well to be honest i just want sleep. Hmmm....I feel like that's going to be a pretty accurate summary of my life over the next few (5 years). Dang. But just remember that we do miss you.

9 we like visitors. i'm not trying to make anyone feel guilty here {or am i? hehe} but we do like visitors despite our dirty house {sorry bout that erin and LK, i tried!} but we'd love to have anyone come visit whenever....so don't feel like you're intruding. If were being honest here, we get tired of staring at each others ugly mugs :D

10 Our house is one of Twilight. One of us may or may not be a closet reader. I love the Twilight Saga simply put. I know, i know, i'm sick but as my fellow secret readers will admit you can't help it. Those books are just so dang good. Girls, I have converted others so we can feel less guilty! For those a lil' confused.....even if you are not a reader per se, i recommend you pick up Twilight and start reading I think you'll thank me later. Right tara? :)

11 I've actually updated my Designs by Erin blog. There should be scheduled post for atleast the next month so enjoy the photos and let me know if you are interested in any of the pieces. For real, I got a jewelry armoire for christmas and lets just say, I can't make too many more bracelets, necklaces or earrings for myself.....its full. {not like that's gonna stop me!}

12 I know i'm really behind on my picture of the day but rest assure i never quit. In fact, i successfully took my last pic sometime in late january completing my year. AND....now i've found and elective class that will let me work 70+ hours on an art project of my choosing {wink wink} which will give me two weeks worth of vacation time to add to my fourth year schedule....how freakin' awesome is that!??

13 matthew is home from work early so we are heading to the gym to feel the burn.....which i've already been feeling all week thanks to my brilliant idea to do lunges on monday :( but i gotta go to the gym.....i'm almost finished with Breaking Dawn- 3 miles will probably get me 2 chapters or so......

14 i'm out.

15 couldnt finish on a random number ~e
