Time for Turkey

I'm off to the windy city for a week of turkey, art galleries, and family. Please take care of my husband as I will have left him for the second week this year. He has to be at the hospital on Thanksgiving so if anyone wants to drop him off some turkey, I would be more than grateful.

I get to stay with these munchkins. Can you blame me for leaving?

Loving Fall Time

Last week I pulled into our condo parking lot behind our house. As I made the corner to a spot I stared in amazement at the large beautiful tree that stood fifteen yards away. It seemed to have every color of the fall spectrum in it and I was particularly suprised that it still had so many leaves on it considering most leaves in the neighborhood had already fallen. Green was still vividly shown on the inner branches. The outside had the brightest colors of pink, orange, and yellow. There was even a touch of brown lining the top where the cold had left its mark. As the sun set the light was particularly dramatic on this tree, and I sat in my car starring listening to music thinking what a remarkable image I was taking in.

Just then a grey something hanging from the medal fence that was ten feet in front of me caught my attention. There is a small gated area for pet owners to take their animals to do their business. The grey bag hung there clinging to something. The shape quickly revealed the curves of a huge dog turd laying inside. Someone left their giant turd bag hanging on the fence.

Favorite Show

Right now my favorite show on television is Pushing Daisies. After every show I just want to hug my television/computer screen and thank it for the happiness it's given me. Everyone should watch it because it is so visually appealing. The narrator rhymes sometimes, and Chuck and Ned are the best couple ever considering they can't touch each other or she will die.
And I may have a crush on Ned. (above) I mean who wouldn't?

PS. I hate Grey's Anatomy and no one should watch it.

Not very exciting

Things are pretty uneventful at our house right now. Brent is finishing his surgical rotation today and takes his surgical test tomorrow. On Monday he starts pediatrics at Primary Childrens Hospital. I know that he is looking forward to working with an abundance of sick children. He just loves children and constantly asks me if I will give in to his requests to have a baby. I just tell him that he will just have to wait until I am not such a career driven women changing the world for good on a daily basis.
I've been keeping busy with school and work. I've been trying to get in shape but I don't think it is doing anything for my physique because I have subsantially increased my icecream intake to counteract my efforts.
Halloween was yesterday and it felt like it didn't even happen. Brent went to sleep early and I volunteered to work at Banana because they needed some help. (If anyone is interested, Banana just got new things in today and there is a heap load of womens items on sale. At Trolley there is so much in the back that if you don't find your size in something in the sale section, ask if they have it in the back. There is a good chance it could be there. Trolley has an over-abundance of sale because the traffic is down because of the construction going on around.)
That is how uneventful things are... the most I have to say is concerning the retail store I work occasionally at nights. I'll try and do something cool soon so I can be a better blogger.
