My newest little reason to go shopping!! Carson Henry was born at 2:22 PM on June 23rd. 6 pounds, 13 ounces, 19.5 inches long. He's a big hulk compared to how Bowdrie started out, at 5 pounds 7 ounces! Anyhow, yay, he's finally here!! Bowdrie doesn't know quite what to think of him. I imagine he'll be disappointed that he doesn't have wheels, but Bowdrie likes those toys that make noise when poked, so this could spell trouble! haha
My new favorite drug! Lucky for me, I have access to wonderful drugs and my newest favorite is TLE, which stands for topical lidocaine and epinephrine. It completely numbed my owies so my very nice aunt, who came over to help me, could get them all cleaned up without me interfering by passing out or screaming!

I should stick with shopping, Reason #37 I've now had my first wipe-out on a bike, and quite honestly I'm also hoping it's my last one! The railroad tracks in Ballard got me and while the photos don't do it justice, I've got some pretty big "badges of honor", or as I like to think of them - "owies". I was out riding with a friend, and I didn't see the great big yellow sign saying to cross at a 90 degree angle and my bike went out from under me faster than I could prevent. It's a pretty sickening feeling. I managed to get rid of the pebble that was embedded in my elbow, but I've still got some souveniers in my outer arm. The pictures of my knee didn't tun out real well but I've got about an 8 inch section all scraped up there too. I'm just trying to remember to be glad that nothing is broken and my face didn't get screwed up! My drugs are kicking in -- goodnight!

Pharmacy Girls Night Out!! Just got back from our latest night out on the town. We've started to hang out and enjoy each other's company outside of work. This time was at Red Robin, celebrating Colleen's upcoming marraige and mourning Elizabeth, Debi, and Mary's leaving. The one photo is blurry but special -- Stacey and Elizabeth and I have been the ICU pharmacists, and now Elizabeth is moving on. Anyhow, these are some of the great gals I work with and the reason why life in Yakima isn't all that bad sometimes!!
