Mama Cita!

What better way to celebrate the end of Q3 (on call every third night) Surgical ICU call for the last month... than a visit from Kee!  Let's pour the toddies and hit the town!!  Also my first real vacation this year, unless you count the three days off for Christmas... Back to Anne, the real person, and away from Anne, the red-eyed and overwhelmed anesthesia resident who pretends to know what she's doing...

A Love Affair

Our little lady has fallen hard.  For our houseguest, Little-Man-Etier, aka the Champ.  He is here for an extended weekend while Mom and Pop celebrate their anniversary in NYC...

First glances...

First Kisses

the Etier's couldn't be more pleased, they had given up and planned for him to remain a bachelor his remaining years...

Ahhh.  Love at first sniff.

Happy Belated...

Groundhog's Day!

seems each year I get farther and farther away from an appropriately timed post thanking Fred for the flora.........  see last year too

what do you do when you are stuck working at the county hospital - aka the Coop - for 8 weeks?

naturally, you challenge your patients to a facial hair duel

here is jimmy after a solid 3 weeks of no shaving... what? can't see??    look closer

and after another 2... now we're getting somewhere

it's all relative when you've got eastern European bloodlines, right?!  i'll make sure to keep everyone updated as he sprouts new hairs.
