He's a little hurt that I will be Dr. Maiden Name but understands my reasoning of not wanting phone calls at home from patients. Otherwise I would just do Dr. Married Name. 😉

Alternatively, you could be a pathologist and not have patients. 😀

You'll be fine, oxeye. Call your mom or sister or a good friend and have her on the phone with you while you check. My mom and I were just screaming like crazy; I was at the lab, and one of the janitors actually came in to see who was murdering me. 😛

Good luck to those of you getting scores soon! Q, something else we're opposite about - I got mine in the mail and went all the way to my room and closed my door so I was all by myself when I opened it. 😀

I just bought some Shampagne (sp?) at the grocery store. Hoping God won't curse me if I already bought the booze (said that in the release thread but figured it was worth repeating just to remind God about that).

Ooohhh... champagne is my favorite drink!!

Great to have you back VD!

I found out yesterday that I'm going to have a little niece!! My sister is pregnant with a baby girl. I'm so excited!! That girl is going to have *a lot* of clothes. I'm giving my sister all of my baby clothes that the girls have outgrown and I'm sure she'll end up buying stuff on her own too. :laugh:

That's fabulous. My niece is the best thing in my life!!

So I just figured out that I need to write that damn diversity essay for TMDSAS.

"Please describe any personal characteristics and/or important or challenging experiences you have had that will contribute to the diversity of or provide educational benefits to the student body. "

Ugh. I didn't have to write any diversity essay when I was applying - that would be tough.

My husband has a bunch of nieces, but they were already here when I met him so it doesn't seem as special - I wasn't always their Aunt Oxeye. 😉

But this new little baby girl is going to be so wonderful! 😀 I'm so excited - my first biological niece or nephew. I think it might be more fun that my own kids because I'll just get to play with her and be the fun aunt. I won't have to be the "mean mommy" like I am to my kids sometimes! :laugh: I just wish my sister and BIL lived closer (well, I'm the one who moved away so I shouldn't complain too much).
 
2 hours, 15 minutes left - still no mattress. Like any of you really care, LOL. I'm just excited to get daughter #1's "Big Girl Bed" set up.

Anyone feel like taking bets about whether or not she'll actually sleep in it? :laugh: I've been hyping it up for her, but she's slept in my room her entire life so I think this transition might be a little tough.

Woohoo, a big girl bed!! Is this a toddler bed or a twin?

My niece made the transition really well - they were worried about it. She just went from a crib to a big girl bed in her own room though. Her parents were the ones with the adjustment since once she was out of her crib she could just bound into their room at any moment. :laugh:
 
Funny story about my niece and how excited I was before she was born:

This was during my comprehensive exams for my Ph.D. and I was the most stressed I have ever been in my life. I just about quit. And the baby going to be born was like the only thing I had to hang on to, so I was even more excited than I normally would have been. I put up an ultrasound of her at my bench in lab, and it had my last name on it (my brother's wife). Somebody in lab thought the baby was mine!! And so he came up to me and asked me who the father was. My response - "my brother!" :laugh:

He was quite shocked. 😀

LOL, yes I am worried about the crib being gone. She will sleep in her room in her crib for naps, but I need the crib for her little sister now (at ten months yes, LOL) so that's why she's getting the big girl bed now (a twin, btw). 😉 I hope she will still nap. I'm worried about not being able to lock her up in bed ( :laugh: ) but I think she's old enough to understand that she has to stay in it.

It's my own fault that she still sleeps in our room - both of them sleep in our room, actually. When they were babies and wanting to nurse all night long, there was no way I was going to get up every time to feed them. I tried that for a few weeks with my older one before I just kept her in bed with us. And that's where she's been ever since - even when baby #2 came along. :laugh: Neither my husband nor I had the heart to kick her out once she night-weaned. It's past time, though - she's going to be 3 at the end of the summer!

OMG!!! That is hilarious!!!!

Reminds me of the Friends storyline when Phoebe was being a surrogate for her brother and his wife. She'd tell people she was carrying her brother's triplets to freak them out. :laugh:

But your story is even better because it is true! LOL

haha, oxeye, we are so happy for the big girl bed!! 😀 i hope it finally comes for you!

Thanks! 🙂 I'll have to post pictures once I get it all made up in her room. I have daisy bedding from Pottery Barn Kids for it - which I love because her middle name is Daisy.

Did you watch Munich yet Beary? I'm curious to see what you think of it. 😉

I watched about the first half hour. So far it's ok.

Is your daughter in her new bed?

Edit: Narnia came today so I am going to watch that soon too. 🙂

I really think you are going to like Narnia. 🙂

My daughter is not in her new bed yet - she's still up with me. My husband had a recital to go to tonight and I'm waiting for him to help me get her to bed. She's more of a daddy's girl so I think he'll have an easier time convincing her to sleep in her room. 😉 He should be home any minute.

Have you seen Dreamer? It's a horse-racing storyline movie. I just rented that off of pay-per-view the other day and I really enjoyed it. 👍 I'm not sure if you like those kinds of movies or not, though.

I read "recital" without the "i". 😳 Guess I'm still in med school mode! :laugh:

I haven't seen Dreamer, but sounds good. I will add it to my queue! Thanks for the tip!

I didn't even know what day it was. 😳

I'm going to be in trouble when I start residency and have to work all the time.

heh, the only reason why i know it's friday is because i have to move out 😳
 
Hey random peeps!! How's everyone's friday going?

I decided to go to the doctor for this headcold thing because I'm running a fever, my ears ache, and my phleme has turned a lovely green-yellow colour.

I hate doctors though!!
 
hahahaha, you hate doctors! and you want to be one!

damn, i had coffee this morning. everything is humorous to me. 😀
 
Hi girls, Brett, and A-man if you're reading this. The thought has occurred to me that this is probably the only sane thread in this entire forum. :meanie: Hope you are all having a great day. I'm doing nothing all day and then going to dinner with an old friend.

Scentimint, I'm not happy about Betty being subbed for the peppermint patties. 👎

A-man, I got your back. Luck to you!

beary, my mom and I go way back with these MCAT score report things. Ten years ago when I took the test the first time, we had a HUGE fight because the AAMC mailed my score report to her house and she opened it without me. 😛 She was threatening to do it again the second time, and I told her that if she did, I wasn't going to tell her my score when I saw it on-line a few weeks beforehand. :meanie: (She didn't know they started doing on-line score reports.) So we agreed that I'd check and I'd have her on the phone while I did it. And that was what we did.

Thanks for explaining werewolf/vampire to me. I think I'm too lazy to play, but hope you all have fun. 🙂
