Hello, Hello! Please excuse me if this blog (is really long and)sounds like I just shot up the best drugs you can get in Atlanta but I’m pretty much on cloud 9 right now!!!
I finished my last day of INTERNING at Grady!!
Which makes my husband pretty damn happy and proud as well as you can see!
It couldn’t have been a better day nor could it have been a BIGGER MESS to clean!!
Dorothy (boss) had promised us that she would take us (Adeola an I) on a tour of the “Grady Morgue” before we left and she kept her promise- It was probably the only day that the morgue was empty (yay for me) but I didn’t realize this is also where all “specimens” are sent from either autopsy's or OR’s. Anyway, we were checking out some “specimens” the nice doctor wanted to show us when…
He reached in a bucket to show us the huge grapefruit sized fibroids he just received from an OR that were removed from a lady and what do you know- it was our patients fibroids who we had just met an hour ago in her room where she was recovering from the surgery!!!
TOO WEIRD- and GROSS but very interesting !
Not that you wanted to know any of that but I thought it was an ODD coincidence!
Other than that Adeola and I gave out presents, cookies, had lunch with our team at The Flying Biscuit (yes, i got to go back!) received present and said our goodbyes! I only cried once, at lunch, improvement from last years internship! :)
I’m going to miss working with Adeola soooooooooo much but I have wonderful dreams of her interning at CHOA next year, getting a job and then bringing me in!
No worries it’s all in the plan and as my sweet patient say’s to me: “You never let anything get in the way of you getting what you want!”
Love him.
The one thing we won’t miss…..
Those damn masks!!
I think they will always remind me of the first patient I had to wear one with who was on contact precaution for TB…. Let’s just say he refused to wear clothes or use a restroom- so his room smelled and had several “droppings”.
I associate that smell with the mask and gown every time now!
Bye- bye mask!!
The night was a night to celebrate- and did we ever!?!?!?!?
at Hob- Nob….
I think we all felt a little sassy that night!
Kayla and her cornbread mix ha and Alex finally deciding to join us at dinner…. he swears the valet guys are his new best friends after he sat outside for a good 45 minutes attempting to finish his date rape drink that (he also swears) I made for him!
After getting home things only got…. BETTER :)
haha yes, and you have to see these two doing their duet to Bob Marley but you may have to turn your computer screen… sorry!
We attempted to make Cornbread for Alex so he wouldn’t steal Kayla’s… but in my “state” I was unable to measure anything- yet decided it all looked a bit too liquidly- so I added chocolate chips, what else?
Apparently the chocolate sinks to the bottom when cooked… so we cut out mini cornbread cakes with a glass and turned them over so you could see the chocolate :)
After our bellies got full (twice) and everyone left we called it a night….. A night full of celebrating a wonderful happening!
Did I mention Greylin is staying with us? It doesn’t look like it here but….
I swear we all fit- somehow!
Yes, hers a big girl- Great Dane- big girl!
**************************************************
On with another type of celebrating…..
The visit to see my sweet former patient and deliver goodies on Easter at the nursing home was too good to be true.
It must have been an Easter blessing because he was not paranoid or hallucinating at all that day, didn’t appear to be in much pain and is now eating solid foods- he didn’t even ask to pinch me to see if i was real! It made my heart very happy just being with him, I think I could sit and talk with him for hours… if he didn’t get so winded talking… the man will work up a big breath just to tear your heart out with the sweetest comments that rolls right off his tongue!
So kind, so, so kind.
As far as the cookies and cupcakes- they were a hit and even left another ex-patient of mine “speechless” :) 
Speaking of Easter, I have to mention Adeola’s lunch on Good Friday, she was trying to be a good girl and eat a McDonalds fish sandwich for lunch instead of meat…. however, she was also trying to be a good mommy to her little boy who said: Mommy why do you never wear the “Super Woman lipstick I got you?”
I told her to show him this picture and say “That’s why sweetheart” haha only kidding but its RED!!
On to our actual Easter Feast- YUM!
Egg shaped cheese ball as appetizer! 
**Happy Easter 2011** 
This was Milly’s face after we told her- “No Milly this is People food” ……
You can imagine the pure devastation that set in…
No worries she of course got to be our professional dishwasher :)
After all our (mainly mom- but i did the deviled eggs!) Easter cooking the boys took us out the next night to Franco’s down the corner from us!!
Everything taste so good and authentic there!
*MMM MMM MMM*
Mom looking super skinny and Daddy looking up to not have his double chin- Your getting there daddy keep it up! :)
They deserved it as much as we did because that morning while mom and I spent hours (unsuccessfully) shopping for a graduation dress they worked very hard…. refurnishing a glider that “came with the house”…..
Sad sight right- Arms were falling off and the paint was beyond gone! 
All fixed up now and to think- It was soooo close to being trashed!
Thanks Daddy, good as new!!
I have a feeling daddy may be getting into a bit more of these handy dandy house projects because as of ….NOW- He is officially RETIRED!!!
They have packed up Tennessee and our officially back in Register!! Mom called to tell me his first day back “home home” he bought a tractor…… like I said I have a feeling many handy dandy house projects will be on the rise…..
Next time I blog I will officially be DONE with school!!!
Yup- Thursday, it’s all over folks and I will be grabbing my hubby and heading straight to Hilton Head to soak up some sun with my the other loves of my life (Steph and Ney) and wait on Graduation to knock at my door Tuesday!
Wahooooooo!
Yes, I will gladly take a drug test- and pass, because I swear it’s only happy fumes I’m high on right now:)
