Seriously . . .

I know, I know . . . I have been horrible about updating my blogs these days!! To be honest with you . . . it's not because I have been busy . . . more like extremely lazy!! :) I have been working on many projects lately, but have just not had the time to blog about them or completely finish them either. I'm getting there!! And, as I finish more of them, I will be sure to share photos and even the news on the latest rotations as well!!

But, to my current little post . . . I have recently been cleaning up and making room for another baby in our household!! We have decided to turn our little office into a nursery for the little one, or at least part of it since our space is limited these days. As I was going through and cleaning things out, this is what I came across . . .

Ahhhh . . . the perks of being a student doctor and future physician!! The drug reps love to give away free stuff!! We have too many fancy pens and notepads than I think we will ever use. And, the sad part . . . this is only a portion of them!!! And, it is never-ending, so our pile will continue to grow and grow and grow!!

My only question . . . SERIOUSLY, how many pens and notepads does one need? Will we ever be able to use all of these in our lifetime? Does anyone else have piles like these? What do you do with all of them? I hate to put any of these to waste, so will not throw any of them out. What else am I to do with them? I am in need of some very creative ideas!! :)

Anesthesia Top Ten!

I got this little top ten from my friend Laci's blog! Since my hubby has officially decided to go the anesthesia route, I thought that I would post it on here as well. Though I don't think I completely understood everything, the ones I did understand were pretty funny! :)

Ten Reasons to Become an Anesthesiologist

1. You can intubate your friends at parties.
2. Have you ever met a happy internist?
3. You don't have enough ego hypertrophy to be a surgeon.
4. You can comfort anxious patients with, "I know just how you feel. It's my first anesthetic, too."
5. Any job where you can drive to work in green pajamas is a cool job.
6. You can park next to rich doctors like ophthalmologists.
7. You can cover your mistakes with Versed.
8. After spending the night with surgeons, they still won't respect you in the morning.
9. If you get bored on the weekends, you can give yourself a spinal.
10. No office, no overhead, no rectal exams!
