you know it was over before it began.

Countdown has begun. Officially 5 months and 26 days to go… Graduation. Cliché to say it is one of those exciting/terrifying/confusing/exhilarating anticipated moments. It is though. The complicated part involves determining which fractions of my past deserve being ended while my multiple new beginnings set to blossom soon. This is further complicated by having what seems like EVERYONE ask you what field I am going to go into once I’ve graduated and passed my boards.

For a while I was concerned because every rotation I entered left me with the feeling of “Wow, I could do this, too.” I was warned by multiple advisors and professors that I would most likely find myself in that situation; the situation of enjoying and being good at several fields, while finding it difficult to determine which was truly calling to me as a possible profession.

Fortunately, I do not think that will be the case for me. I finally had my true “AHA” moment. The trick is now to align my “AHA” moment with reality… find a nice, competent surgeon who needs a PA. Let’s make it happen (lol).

With that being said, I can comfortably say my life is full. Family, friends, future… all the good F words (haha).

Finality. My new “F” word.

I’m a long-time offender when it comes to cutting people off and removing them from my life the second they disappointed, betrayed, or abandoned me. That resulted in the most sincere form of finality I knew. My new offense is not cutting people off as soon as I should. It is a complicated turn of events. I find myself lending more space for mistakes, more opportunities to injure me emotionally. Trust is very difficult to give; consequently, I now find it much more difficult to recover from those to whom I have given it.

I try to live my life with as little amount of “grey area” as possible. My new mantra is to not allow any relationships exist in that grey area either… I think this will be for the best. <3


I’m not here for your entertainment; you don’t really wanna mess with me tonight…

adding a little jingle to November

if you know me, you know i love projects. some are larger projects that take months. most are projects that happen as follows: my mom: so, what do you want to do this weekend? me: well, i have this project i've been wanting to do... then we are off to michael's/hobby lobby/joann's/etc for goodies. then madness ensues. saturday we had this exact conversation once i arrived at my parents' house. i then showed her this photo i found from pinterest - and we were off to the store! the link i found was not linked to an actual tutorial once i clicked the link i realized there was not an actual tutorial attached. i realized this was going to be one of those "fly by the seat of my pants" projects (read: MY MOST FAVORITE KIND). part one was finding ornaments and a frame. i started with michael's who had this adorable assortment of christmas/holiday/seasonal beaded word ornaments. i snagged one and my mom got a different word. then we were off to hob...

I Did Not Cry

I did not cry. For two weeks I did not cry. As I laid there staring at the ultrasound monitor while the doctor kept adjusting the angle of the ultrasound wand, searching, hunting for a heartbeat, I did not cry. When we sat and tried to determine if our dates were “right” or if they could possible be “off” and the doctor spun his pregnancy calculator wheel to see if the measurements had any possibility of being correct, I did not cry. When the financial coordinator started asking about making our hospital copayment and for the first time I had to say that there was a chance the pregnancy was “no good”, I did not cry. Standing in the parking lot, reminding myself how to take a normal breath while my husband carefully looked me over, assessing to see if I was ok to safely drive the 45 minutes home, I did not cry. We waited ten days to find out that no, there was not a heartbeat, and no, the baby is not growing anymore. Still, I did not cry. I matter-of-factly...

reasons to remain single

this list is in its infancy and I am sure that it will grow :) when I listen to everyone complain about former sig figs (aka significant others) I realize that there are SO many reasons to stay single and smiling! here is what I have thus far... 1. Sleep diagonally across my queen bed and sprawl without concern 2. If the house is a mess, it's my fault and no one else's 3. I can leave laundry in the dryer for days until I'm prepared to fold it 4. I can eat the last bagel/apple/pickle/cookie if I want because I don't have to share! 5. I always choose what's on tv 6. The Toilet seat is never up 7. No one expects dinner to be made 8. An acceptable dinner can involve edamame and an orange 9. I dont have to be concerned if half of my bed is covered in books and my laptop 10. If I get off work at 5:30 but don't get home until 8:45, no one is calling me to see where I am 11. I don't find facial hair shaving remnants all over my bathroom counter/sink (....
