My 'non-med' friends
I do have somewhat of a life outside medicine. Really, I do.
This past weekend, I got together with some of my 'non-med' girlfriends. There is a group of 8 of us that gets together about 4-5 times a year...sometimes for a whole weekend, sometimes just for a night. Considering there is so many of us, there is usually at least one of that misses out, but we try our best!
Out of the 8 of us, 5 are married and 3 of us single..although it sounds as if that's soon to be down to 2! Out of the 'smug married girls' 4 of them have kids. One of the single girls is a single mom and a foster mom and a full-time student to boot! When we first started out, none of us had any kids, so it's been fun to see everyone go through their pregnancies and bring thier little ones to our get-togethers. But we have one rule...breastfeeding kids are OK to bring, otherwise they have to leave them at home! It's supposed to be mommy-time for those who have kids.
I'd like to tell you what we do at our get-togethers...but then I'd have to kill you. It's top secret, but it involves yummy food and drinks...and solving the worlds problems. Other than that, my lips are sealed! We also try to have one big trip every year. One year it was cross-border shopping, one year it was a weekend at a luxurious spa (my fave so far). Not sure what it'll be this year, but hopefully I'll be able to go.
This weekend, I'm off to my hometown to attend one of my oldest friends' wedding! She asked me to be in her wedding party, so I'm very excited (for her as well!) I grew up with her, in fact our parents went to highschool together, so we've always been close friends. I haven't seen her since she shopped for her wedding dress, so I can't wait!!!!!!
I've caught many babies now. My fear of dropping them has slowly faded but remains a real possibility! Well, that's all for now. I have been on call too many days in a row and I'm sleepy.
