Happy and Healthy on this Wishful Wednesday

First and foremost I would like to say my surgery went really well and I am so thankful for all the sweet comments yesterday! I am a big believer in the power of prayer and I really felt all your kind wishes with me today! I cried like a big baby during some of the pre-op stuff and my surgical nurse was so sweet to me and really helped me relax. I spent most of the day sleeping and watching movies, but that is to be expected I guess. I had my mom and boyfriend with me all day and I honestly don't know what I would do without them! I also watched the Lakers/Celtics game tonight with my mom and dad and it was a great game! It would be better if the Suns were in it instead of the Lakers though (and we came so close!) Who are you all rooting for?

This week over at the Seattle Smith's, Kelsey has a fun topic for Wishful Wednesday...

I wish' .... I had the opportunity to change careers

and it would be __________!

This is a hard one for me! I think I am pretty lucky to have the career that I do. I have always been interested in science and especially biology and medical topics. I love pharmacy because I am in the health care field but I don't have any "hands-on" duties (I don't have the stomach for some of that stuff! I almost fainted in the Cadaver lab at school!) I do love working with patients and being able to answer their questions and ease their fears in the times when they are sick and scared. So... I really love being a pharmacist and can't picture myself doing anything else!

If I HAD to choose something different I think it would be something with animals. I would love to be a zoologist and get to work with some of the lovely exotics at the zoo! I would still have my scientific side satisfied while getting to work with animals. To play along, head on over and link up!

Busy Little Bee

It feels like it has been so long since I blogged! It has been a busy few weeks for me and it has been crazy but mostly a lot of fun! One of the craziest things that happened at the beginning of the month was my cousin came into town unexpectedly. We were extremely close growing up, but lately we have been really distant. I was expecting our lunch to be really awkward so I decided to call her beforehand and have a frank discussion. It was a difficult talk but it was good to get things out in the open and off of our chests. We went to lunch with our moms, which was really nice. After lunch we walked around the dollar store and bought a bunch of cheap fun headbands and then we spent some time at the park together. It was a nice start to get our friendship back on track, but I am still not sure where we will go from here. On a happier note my other friendships have been going really great! I recently babysat for my friend's little girl and it was really fun! I brought my glove and bat and some wiffle balls and we did some batting practice. I played softball for a lot of years and it makes me so happy when I can get out there and play a little bit. My friend really loved that I did that with her little girl and asked me to come over and play again with them later in the week. It ended up being me, C, S, lil J and a bunch of neighborhood kids and we played a little scrimmage game. It was so much fun and I think we are going to try to make this a regular thing. It reminded me of The Sandlot! We also took her out yesterday for a belated mother's day dinner and then I went with her for her tattoo appointment. She is getting some cover up work done on some older tattoos. She is really nervous about it because she really cannot do anymore cover up work after this. I really hope it turns out how she wants it! After her appointment we went to the park with lil J and played on the playground. Some of that stuff is a great workout!

Dave's best friend is going to be in town for the next few weeks. He has been stationed overseas for the past nine months and it will be great to have him back. He and his girlfriend were our best couple friend and before he left, the four of us hung out all the time. The day he got into town we all went to a D-backs game together. We had great seats, ate at the TGIFridays in the stadium, and they even had a fireworks show after the game.

We went out to Salty's bar on Saturday as a welcome home party for Andy and we have a lot planned for the time while he is going to be in town. I am excited for our Las Vegas trip at the end of the month! We all went together a few years ago and it was amazing. I hope we can make the most out of the time we will all have together!
