Last weekend one of my closest friends from pharmacy school, Sara, got married to her sweetie Nick! Naturally she looked fabulous and the reception was a ton of fun, but my favorite part was seeing so many of my P school friends again. Fourth year has been so isolated from my classmates and I've missed them more than I expected. I had a blast at dinner and got down with my bad self on the dance floor. Mike's cousin Mary gets married this weekend, so love is still in the air for a little while! Speaking of which, Mike was fitted for his tux this week and I can't wait to see how smokin' hot he and the boyz look when our day rolls around. ;)
Almost halfway through my rotation at Health Plus. Everyone loves working there. I have to say that I enjoy it a lot too, although it's not the best environment to fine-tune my counseling skills. I think to myself (almost on a daily basis) that if a patient could work one day in a pharmacy they could understand why it takes "so damn long" to get their drugs ready and just how insulting it is to suggest that I went to school for seven years to "slap a label" on a bottle. I think the same might be true for insurance companies like Health Plus. I curse them all the time, as they are what we pharmacists consider the "rate-limiting step" in prescription dispensing. However, I think to experience their side of the fence will be important for someone like myself, who will be dealing with them so often throughout my career. Just like I'd like the patient to understand my role better, I'd like to understand the role of the insurance company better.
My sister is having surgery coming up next week, so I'd ask that you keep your fingers crossed that it goes smoothly and very well. I'm taking the day off to spend at the hospital, so that will make me feel better. :) I got to see her briefly when she came home to meet with her surgeon and we got to wildly outrace the computer at Mariokart, as per the usual.
According to Mom, Flint got about nine inches of snow last night or something. Just about everything closed up, and I even got a delayed start until 10 AM. My car was very effectively buried in the driveway and it took me a good twenty minutes and two pairs of socks to free it from it's snowy prison. But, like the monster green machine it is, it tackled my always unpaved road like a champ and got me to work safely once again. I hate winter, btw, and eagerly anticipate March going out like a lamb ASAP.

1) I'm leaving you because you used the word "boyz."
2) Aside from "slapping a label" on a bottle, don't forget the ever important quality of "counting by five."
1) You watch Secret Life of the American Teenager and color code your closet--and I still love you. Maybe you should work harder to improve the quality of your love so that you may be deserving of my attention (and be a worthy reader of my blog).
2) I know taking cheap shots at my duties as a pharmacist is your way of feeling like a man when I start "bringing home the bacon" (and may I say in many multitudes of fives larger than you), but honestly, envy is not becoming on you.
And 3) You sass me again, and I'll f-ing falcon punch you.
oooh - falcon punch! sounds blackbelt-y.
i just wanted to add that i second mikey's motion for #1 - namely b/c that'll mean i'll get to swoop you of your feet (like a falcon?) *awkward feet shuffle*
