Christmas is pending

Just like that blood culture...

I have some great Christmas cookie recipes to share. For some reason I found it necessary to stay up till 1:30 am on December 23 making cookies...

I had christmas eve off... yessssss. Sort of looks like the ranch, no?

Then I worked over 20 hours on Christmas and Boxing day, so forgive my tardiness. I'll post pictures and recipes soon. or soonish.

So long, farewell. The sound of music is on. Auf Weidersehen, goodnight.

OK

OK Mn stop snowing. Seriously. You are making it hard to get to work...

And veterans, please, keep breathing without intubation. Good lord.

Décembre

I should go to the gym and work off that big bowl of almonds I just ate. Dang you Trader Joes...

I just bought a bunch of new songs. Me gusta pop hitz. Let's see if they are fun to run to...

And done

Done with the VA. Onto Psychosis at the U. Just read through my patients, and looks like I'm in for a wild ride. I must say, psych is pretty awesome :)

Fall favorites

One day left of psych at the VA. This has been a busy 4 weeks. This weekend was my last *HUGE SIGH* 24 hour call shift for quite a while. VA psych went out like a lamb, I must say. On Saturday, I worked non stop till 7 pm... Then I did a little bit of Jillian in my call room, showered, knocked on wood and went to bed. I got woken up once in the middle of the night to take a phone call, and that was it! I slept about 9 hours. Fan-freakin-tastic! Normally, I'm lucky if I get two 45 min "naps" in while on call... But I made it through...

Working on my narcissism! Anyways, good day on call, you know what that calls for...


Sunday Dinner! The recipe search commenced and I decided on a fall themed dinner. It was delish. And, of course, I had to re-make the warm butternut squash salad. Because, holy lord it's delicious. I could eat that non stop.

Warm butternut squash salad  Make it. seriously. "I die"


Dijon potatoes. With purple/red and white potatoes. Fancy.


Karina's pork-all Karina's creations are out of this world. Trust me

And Pumpkin bars-from a box-jazzed up with pumpkin pie spice and vanilla.  With Karina's frosting :)
