Let's see....oh yes! Alabama obviously won the National Championship. Most everyone was very happy at work---except the Auburn fans that were cheering for Texas. :) I was dying laughing because they were displaying the trophy at local Walmarts, but was quickly informed that it had something to do with the a deal with Dr. Pepper? I guess that makes it a little better.
Work has been really busy!! I am starting to get into the swing of working 5 days a week. I'm not as exhausted as I used to be, and the weeks normally fly by! I still really enjoy the weekends though, and this weekend we get a 3 day one because of Martin Luther King day. I love clinic hours!!!
I was just complaining to my mom about my Saturday routine: cleaning and catching up on laundry. I wish I could teach myself to do these things during the week so it doesn't ruin my weekend, but I'm just too tired once I get home. And Dave doesn't clean up to my expectations, so I don't even ask him to do it.
Speaking of Dave, he made the comment this past week that he feels poorer now than he did when he was in med school. I assured him it's because he's now making his own money, instead of spending the bank's loan, so you feel worse about spending it. He has us on a strict budget. It makes me smile....he'll sit on the computer for a long time and look at our budget through Quicken and try to cut back on things. It's cute. I brought up the fact that maybe we could get rid of the satellite and just stick to cable. We couldn't have that though, we'd lose our Big Ten channel (i.e. Michigan State Basketball) and then the world just may end. It's been an adjustment to have joint accounts....I can't just go out and buy things anymore and just tell him it was on sale. He can see how much it was. :( Sales in my eye's are a little different than sales in his eyes.
Oh! Also, he has decided on a career path. He is going to do his fellowship in GI (gastroenterology or the gut) and then he wants to specialize further into hepatology, more commonly known as liver. The only bad thing, GI is quite competitive so it makes me nervous about where we'll be going for fellowship. Also, the fact that it will probably be an additional 4 years after residency. We were talking about it at work the other day, and he'll have either been in school or training for 15 years after graduating high school. Yikes, I wonder if pre-med college freshman think about that? Maybe that's why so many change their majors. Probably a smart choice.
Oscar is getting big! I took him to the vet this morning and he weighs 21 pounds! The vet told us he'll most likely be over 60 pounds. He still thinks he's a lap dog. Next weekend we're doing a training session with him, trainers are coming to our house, so we're really ready for that! He's at the groomer's right now, getting his toe-nails cut so he doesn't scratch our wood floors, and just getting trimmed up around his privates so he stays clean. Mommy's anal about cleanliness.
Hope everything is going great for everyone back home! I hear some of the massive amounts of snow are melting! Praise God!
