I am baking tonight while Em is away visiting friends from Ghana in Kirksville. Baking, and subsiquently, having a GIANT fight with the smoke detectors in our home. Basically every time the oven is on, they all go off- and the two in the hallway/bedroom are wired into the ceiling, and into each other, so I can't just disconnect them like I did (semi-violently) to the one in the kitchen. Luckily it's starting to get a bit warmer out, so my counter method of just opening every door and window in the house will work for now... I did discover that there is a silence button on them, which I pushed, so now they are just chirping like birds instead of ringing ringing ringing...
I'm grateful for technology that will save my life if the house burns down...I think...but it makes baking a lot less enjoyable!
Please send hopeful thoughts/prayers about my future job- I'm starting to get anxious at the thought of moving back into mom and dad's (no offense guys)!

Doogie Howser,MD
I've been watching a lot of Doogie Howser re-runs on Hulu lately. It was amazing to me how when watching the first episode a couple weeks back, when the theme song started, I was able to hum along- it's probably been 15 years- maybe even 20 (seeing as how I'm old now) since I've heard it or watched the show. How does our brain remember things like that?
March flew by in a blur- I can't believe it's April already! March was filled with many nights on call, a brief but sweet birthday dinner with the fam, and my WONDERFUL vacation with dear friend Julia to the Bahamas. Much like the rest of the month, it flew by too quickly, filled with fruity drinks, snorkeling, early bedtimes, and days spent like this:
It was pretty great! And now only 2 months til Vegas--I love vacations!!!
April brings exciting changes: after working 5 nights IN A ROW earlier this week, I only have 3 official night shifts left--ever! April 11th will be my first shift back on days-very exciting!!! It's going to be nice to see the sunshine and not wince from the bright light, nice to be able to go to church every once in a while, nice to be able to go out to lunch, call places during business hours, you get the picture? I have to admit that I will miss the slower paced work flow of the night shift, my wonderful coworkers, and knowing that at 4 am, you can watch the infomercial for "Salad Chef!" on 3 different channels. Despite this great improvement, I'm hoping April will also bring job interviews...applications are sent, keep your fingers crossed!
