Well I completly understand Shira’s post about how boring being a housewife can be!! I was one for the whole month of January. At least it gave me time to work on the invites but it got kinda old! Now I am back to work doing another peds rotation. Its not too exciting but at least I am talking to some adults! I have to take another Board Exam this Friday. This test alone cost me $1000!!! It is insane! It is actually a test were they have 15 “standardized patients” which means actors. And I have to exam them and the biggest part of the exam you are graded on is your English proficiency skills! They actually tell some of the actors to be angry and yell at you to see if you will break and either cry or yell back! It is so stupid but I have no chose. So you can just imagine me sometime this Friday with an over-acting (like soap opera bad acting) “patient” who is yelling at me while I try not to laugh. Oh the joys of med school!

Congrats on the new job Shira!! It sounds so perfect for you! And as for the “ball workouts” (that sounds dirty). I have been doing Core Secrets. Keep in mind I have been doing it on and off since the beginning of summer and I don’t have a six pack. I am not sure if I even have a core. But it does make you sore and maybe if I did it more consistently I would see results but I am begginning to think I am resistent to exercise!

Things in Chi-town are good, but freezing! It has been windchills of like 20 below for the past five days! I had my dress fitting this past weekend! I still fit into it so that was a relief! Putting it on definetly made me even more excited about the wedding! I am even more excited that it sounds like you girls can make it to the wedding!! We are working on the menu…any suggestions? Maybe I should hire Shira to make something? Do you girls remember how good her breads and cakes were?!?! (and that was before the CIA!!)  Now if only she (or anyone) could find a way for bread and cakes to be good for you!

Guess that is about it for me. Caitlin and Francis-you will have to let us know how the Red Bday party goes! I wish I could crash this year too!

Miss you all tons!!
