1. starbucks has these new awesome tea latte things. i tried the "london fog" this afternoon and it was delicious. (i keep thinking that if i plug them publicly they'll have to give me free products. no? hello? starbucks rep? anyone?).
2. so far this new year i've gotten to do some wicked awesome cases. i did a thigh and butt lift today (so cool, although never sewed in so many cracks before...not actually IN the most notorious of cracks, but not far from it, and in all kinds of folds and at weird angles...not the easiest areas to access- but still cool!). and tomorrow i'm doing a nissan fundoplication. no i did not make that up to sound smart, it's a real procedure that involves wrapping part of the upper stomach tightly around the esophagus to prevent reflux and thus, the symptoms of heartburn. it's kind of the final effort when all others have failed. and it's pretty darned cool. and today i first assisted on a thyroidectomy, which i haven't done completely yet...and it went well. i'm beginning to feel like a professional who might actually have some business being in the OR. i'm sure that will flux back to self loathing after a while. :)
3. my resolution to live healthier is going well so far (and 6 days in already!). i've cooked a real meal every night this week and have even worked out once or twice (once, sort of).
4. oprah's fat again and talking about it, so now all the devoted oprah-ites are on a weight loss campaign...and since they make an army of many millions, we might see a national movement and totally eradicate diabetes and hypertension. or, oprah might just sell more magazines. that could happen, too.
5. i cannot WAIT to see what we have in store for us in 2009 since the celebrities-trying-to-out-wacky-each-other baby naming contest went so well in 2008. we have the following for your consideration: nahla, indigo, ruby, ignatius, knox, bronx, harlow, sunday, sage, zuma, luca, coco, birdie, valentine, clementine, levi, etc, etc. those last two aren't names. they're just to indicate that there are many more insane examples i could have used of famous rich people who are famous and rich enough to almost be able to guarantee that their kids won't get beaten up at school for their ridiculous names. i can't see swirlees happening when there are body guards around. i'm just saying. so, how many of those baby names could you match to their famous parents? if you got 1-3 alright, fair enough, you go to the grocery store and can't help but read the covers of the tabloids since your eyes automatically focus on english words. if you got 4-10 you probably need to leave the house more. if you got >10, you're probably a celebrity stalker and may have sent monogrammed blankets to one or all of the above-named babies. i cannot endorse this.

ok, so i think i got about 5 of those. but, last year i did tell myself that i will not give in to those magazines and even went as far as to stopping my subscription to people. and i only know those because yes, i stand in line at the grocery and read the covers plus i had the very important job of having to pick out a name myself. :-)
i'm glad you are having a wonderful start to your new year!!
love lots!
