One down...

I finished the first of many books that I hope to read this month. So, one down, nine more to go. I just finished Prep by Curtis Sittenfield and it made me realize how glad I am that I'm no longer in high school. I was not a fan of being in high school, it was more of a formality before I got to head off to college. Very strange. But it was well written, and I think I covered the 400 pages or so in about a week. Yay reading!!



I looked at the stack of nine books on the top of the bookshelf and asked Sam to pick a number between 1 and 9 and then to choose top or bottom. He chose 7 and bottom, so the next book that I'm reading is Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer. Should be interesting, that is, if I put stock into who the New York Times declares as a bestseller. But if they made it into a movie, it has to be good right??

On another note, I'm in store for a busy next couple of days. Aside from seeing patients, I'm having a "Girls Night Out" tomorrow night with one of my co-workers. She is a very conservative ultra-Orthodox Jew who is quite a bit older than me, but she's fun to be around and I really enjoy her. We're going to see Brokeback Mountain, which is very intriguing. I'll be very interested to get her reaction of the gay cowboys. The movie was her choice, which is both cool and weird at the same time. Sam and I are getting together with one of my other co-workers Saturday night for Margaritas and Tacos. She's offered us her pull-out couch in the event that we get too drunk to take the subway. Hooray Mexican food!!!

Still loving the job, and loving what I do. I went to my first wake yesterday, which was awkward, a bit strange, and a great method of closure.

I also want to give a shout out (how very TRL) to my mom for sending us (finally!) a DVD of our rehearsal dinner and wedding. Sam and I really enjoyed watching it, especially reminiscing about being in Austin. Thanks mom!
