Addiction

I am very lucky that in my life I have never really been addicted to any substance. On Wednesday I went to the dentist to get a crown on one tooth and a filling on another...not fun, and I was in anxiety mode all day until my appointment. The procedures went fine though, they gave me a valium and I had a steady flow of nitrous the whole time....weeeeeee. ANYWAY I am addicted....to gum. Yes gum, minty gum to be specific. I can't make it through the day without it and if I find myself without gum I am thinking about when I can hurry and make a run to a store to get more gum. Sheesh. I can't chew gum right now because it can potentially pull out my temporary and it is driving me absolutely crazy! I am trying to switch to tic tacs and mints but it just isn't the same.

Photographic evidence of what I have been up to

I have some good pictures that have been taken over the last few weeks and since I am not studying until Monday (much needed break) I will just play around on here for a while ;)

Last weekend we hauled a bunch of sticks and dead stuff out of the yard for neighborhood clean up. We also removed a concrete path in our backyard. I found out it is kinda cool to break shit with a sledge hammer. ANYWAY it was physically hard work and I was beat the next morning and craving PANCAKES! So Trevor made some awesome pancakes for me from scratch. His sister-in-law supposedly makes an out of this world awesome homemade pancake so he got the recipe from her and cooked them for me. This is my "mickey mouse" pancake...ummm yeah it looks like winnie the pooh. Trevor couldn't believe that I had never had a mickey mouse pancake before and even after that I guess I still haven't.

It is starting to get COLD here and we are actually supposed to see some snow over the next few days. LAME. Since the bad weather is coming, we harvested all of our basil to make a giant batch of pesto to get us through the months when we can't pick some out of the backyard. I absolutely LOVE this picture because Trevor looks like a wild animal in the basil jungle.



Our kitty has a little friend who hangs out in our yard all the time. He (I assume he's a boy) is really scared of me but he looks in our windows and generally is smitten with our kitty. I totally scored a picture of him on our shed the other morning as I was leaving for work. Lily got in a fight a few weeks ago, as manifested but a cut up kitty face, and I have a sneaking suspicion that she told him she just wanted to be friends or something.


Other than that I have been studying LIKE CRAZY but I took two tests this week, so it should be a little more relaxing over the next few days.

YAY it's Fall!

So I now finally am feeling like it is Fall which is my absolute favorite time of year. Crispy air, warm sunshine and aweome colors...what is not to love? I'm also stoked because I finally fingured out how to change these backgrounds to "cutesie poo" stuff. On the down side, I had to retire my favorite jeans this morning due to a ripped off belt loop and some holes in crotch and thigh area :/ I'll miss you jeans! I'm conidering burying them in the backyard, that is how attached I am.

This week is going to be really hell-ish for me since I have my lab midterm Thursday morning and a lecture midterm on Friday!!! AAAHHHHH! Hopefully I do really well on these two so I don't have to worry so much for the rest of the semester.

Update long overdue

Wow! I have been slacking! I have been busy so I also have many excuses :p We worked with the cadavers for the first time in lab today, pretty smelly (as in formadehyde) but interesting. The bodies have been soaking for so long, their skin doesn't even really resemble a person, and all the muscles and organs are nearly the same color so it isn't at all what I was expecting. Sorry if that grossed you out.

I have been sick for the last 2-3 days with yesterday being the worst I have felt in a long time. I felt like I had the flu, it was horrible! So I left work at 12 because I just couldn't take it anymore and I really wasn't doing anything anyway. On Tuesday I did my first day of my 20 hour job shadowing assignment. I was at a care and rehabilitation center just a few blocks away from home. The commute was awesome ;) The old people were a lot of fun too! I got to observe people with broken bones, amputations, head injuries along with others too, I just can't remember right now.

I took my first anatomy midterm last Friday and will find out tomorrow how I did, I am pretty nervous! I need to get a B which means I need to average about 85 on all of my tests and I don't think the first one is going to be very good. Oh well, we will see tomorrow!

We haven't really done anything new to the house, but next on the agenda is tilling up and seeding the backyard to get it ready for some grass. Our garden is doing pretty well, we have eaten a bunch of tomoatoes, zucchini and acorn squash. The hot peppers are coming along and I have a rather large eggplant that I can't wait to eat.

I hope everyone is having a good start to Fall, it is my favorite time of year and I am really looking forward to it.
