Currently reading: Better: A Surgeons Notes on Performance by Atul Gawanda It's a look at human health care from a surgeons perspective.
Thanksgiving was good, lots of food, watched the Dallas game, went back home. Was off all weekend, no patients and no on call duty (that is a rare occurrance), so I watched more football. That OSU vs. OU game was a disappointment and the BCS ranking was even more of a disappointment. Did it really come down to who beat OSU worse - should have went to Texas. I will admit I wish it would have gone to Tech, wouldn't that have been the upset of the year.
I'm rethinking my decision to apply for medicine residencies. I've always wanted to be a surgeon, as long as I can remember. The medicine thing was a recent developmenet. I enjoyed being on medicine a lot, but now that I'm back on Surgery (again) I get so excited for all the surgeries we are doing. Don't know what to do, its too late to apply for surgery residencies now. I can always pull out of the match and wait until next year to try again. sigh
The pioneer woman, is my internet girl crush - I want to be like her someday.
Instead of resolutions for the new year, I always create a specific list of things I want to do, usually they come from my list of 100 things to do before I die. I'm almost done with my list, maybe I'll post some of the list.

I'm giving "resolutions" a new spin this year.
I'm going to pick a theme word for the year. Just one. And that's how I'm going to live.
You'll find out soon enough ;)
Oh! And I share your evasion habit.
"What do you do?"
"Oh, I work at the University."
"What do you do there?"
"I'm on faculty."
I try to leave the "surgery" word out of it. It's better that way.
I am reading that book right now. I am halfway through it...it's so interesting when you are reading it from our perspective. I think I even highlighted a few passages!
