Down to the last 4 weeks of vacation ... sigh. And I am already making plans for my next couple of trips during the fall. I'll be studying my ass off for the USMLE and COMLEX over the next 11 months, so my vacation time and traveling will be severely limited next year until I am well into my clinical rotations (meaning no break until mid-winter, possibly 2008).
Sadly, for me, I had plans to go back east for Thanksgiving, and I just found out I have an exam the Tuesday afterwards, so that very well may not happen now. If thats the case, I may not be back until I do my psychiatry rotation in NYC. (Yes, I know a few of you closet haters who are rejoicing. Bite me.)
So, where will I be going? Let's see: there's a 4-day trip to San Francisco in September to chill with Jack and Miki, then 4 days in Vegas with, oh, all my buds from school to celebrate Dr. Beth's outstanding achievement, then a week in Hawaii in January with some very special people. And this weekend - we're heading out to Catalina Island for some snorkeling, parasailing, and everything else we can think of!
Tomorrow night, I am in charge of making a gourmet (ulp!) dinner with very little help from Deb and Beth (who will be eating whatever I put in front of them). I am at a total loss as to where to begin, and need to go grocery shopping tonight.
I hope they like garlic encrusted Cheerios with a side of cheese fries.

And on a last, but definitely not least note: I want to say CONGRATS!!!! to one very special friend - Dr. Man Ass himself, Eric Sharp, who so gallantly spread his seed forth, and will soon be adding to the population of California by +1. He and his wife, Nicole are expecting and he has assured me that I will be an expert at diaper changing and baby vomit in no time. I can hardly wait! ;) Congrats, Eric and Nicole!!! Let the sleep deprivation begin! On behalf of DWW, we're right there with you all the way! And, yes, that stroller makes your man ass look HUGE.
And on a personal note: keep that THING way from me! It's loaded!
