Today I went shopping for a dress to wear to the med school Gala and I realized that I have expensive taste, which is unfortunate because I won't pay for expensive things. Being poor in grad school really restructured my spending habits. So I ooh and ahh over gorgeous things and then walk away........unless there is a sale (that's the only reason I own a pair of Coach black leather pumps and other beautiful shoes). And today there was a sale! I found a perfect dress that satisfies my craving for expensive things that also happened to be 50% off. Now all I need is a pair of fancy shoes. Of course the ones I love are really expensive.......
In other news, I started running again. And apparently the "in" thing to do at a certain local park is to sit in your car and smoke pot. As I ran that's all I could smell. I then realized that almost every car that I ran past had at least one person sitting in it and sometimes there was a towel covering part of the window. How sketchy is that? I suddenly started feeling a little unsafe in my mid-day surroundings. It was kinda like one of those pictures where at first glance you see one thing and as you keep looking at it a whole different picture emerges.

Happy New Year 2007!
It's a new year and I'm still not quite sure where the old one went......I've been busy (obviously, since I haven't posted in ages). Here are a few things that have happened since I last posted:
My mom is all about giving meaningful gifts as well. I received my great-grandmother's antique cake platter and some other amazing things. Christmas in Phoenix was wonderful. I hadn't seen my mom in over a year and hadn't been out to Phoenix in over three years. It was a sunny and warm 75 degrees! Josh is growing up so fast and becoming a typical four year old boy: cute with a little snotty mixed in.
Kyle and I took complete advantage of his lengthy Holiday break and spent lots of time together. We actually rented a movie to watch! Even more amazing is the fact that he willingly went to the mall with me to find shoes (for a man with very limited time, I took this as a sign of his over-flowing affection for me). As a sign of my over-flowing affection for him, I watched three Michigan sporting events in the span of 24 hours. Yes. Two in person and all a disappointment to us Michigan fans: Michigan Basketball vs. Georgetown (the Georgetown fans at Crisler arena were obnoxious!), Michigan Hockey vs. MSU at the Joe, and then of course the let down of them all.....the Rose Bowl. Oh well. Good try, boys.
After almost three years in Michigan, I finally made it to Canada! I live literally across the river from Canada and I've never ventured across the border. I mean, we aren't talking Toronto or Montreal here, it's Windsor. Full of 19 and up bars and one Casino Windsor, soon to be a Caesar's Windsor Casino. So we went because it is absolutely smoke-free and it is in Canada and we both walked away winners. Once you get past all of the 19 and up kids roaming around in their ball caps and Hollister gear, the Casino is really nice. I'm not a casino pro, so I ended up feeling a little overwhelmed and nervous, but I started with $20 on the roulette table and walked away with $60!
Now it's back to work (blech) but I have a few fun activities planned for January and before I know it, February will be here.

Happy New Year!
- I spent a wonderful Thanksgiving with Kyle's family.
- I celebrated my 29th birthday with 2 fun outings (and no, I'm not freaked out about "the big 3-0").
- I now officially dislike my job.
- I visited my mom in Phoenix for Christmas, where Jess and Josh joined us.
- Kyle and I made plans to go skiing---but there has been NO SNOW!
- I've eaten at a few great restaurants.
- I now know what the swim cap and goggles joke is all about.
- Kyle and I went to friends' new house for a fabulous New Year's Eve party.
