Current addiction = http://www.fashism.com/
I might spend waaay too much time at work on here...
also, I've been pretty terrible at updating latley.
I either say I'll update something (like pictures) and dont,
or I write nonsensical jargon....
When my brain starts working again, I'll update.

Mind Dump
Ok. A ton of stuff has happened since my last post, I'll pick the two most recent things I suppose. First thing, Friday morning I woke up with a bladder infection. YUCK! However, it was actually a praise because for some reason I'm extremely prone to UTI's and my body tends not to show symptoms until I'm on the verge of a kidney infection (my pee has basically turned into blood, tmi? oh well) but this time I caught it BEFORE I was in the worst pain of my life. I promptly made a doctor's appointment scheduled within the hour and am fortunate enough that my doctor's office is located right outside my neighborhood so it took me all of 3 minutes to drive there. Also, I met a new doctor (I had to see a different one if I wanted to get in before work) and she was a D.O. and she talked to me for about 20 min after her evaluation to discuss medical school, differences between an M.D. and a D.O., and how the new health care bill will affect physicians. So my UTI turned into a PRAISE.
All's well that ends well. FALSE.
Got lost in a death trap known as Possum Kingdom Lake for 6 hrs on Saturday! A lake that's only 90 miles away. It was Texas Chainsaw Massacre material. Twisty winding roads, GPS freaking out, running out of gas, creepy gates with cameras... Finally arrived at the lake (in a pissy mood) and made the best of it for my little brother's birthday. He's 20 now!
Next planned trip (not to a lake, 2 weekends in a row is enough for me!) FTW stockyards!! I'm thinking about getting some custom made boots, if I can afford it. And if not, I can still window shop and eat some yummy BBQ with Kyle. To do by the end of the summer list (made by Kyle) will be posted soon.
I want these!

Iced Skinny Vanilla Latte
Holy Smokes. It's the only thing getting me through this day.
Long day. So incredibly tired and exhausted and busy. I've got to have a mental break from work. I've been filling in numbers and putting in formulas in excel sheets all day long. I'm updating the Dallas Family Access Network 2009 Needs Assessment (making a 2010 version). So I've been taking numbers like "newly diagnosed with HIV in _____ county" and turning them into percentages, incidence rates per 100,000 and such. Blech, boring! Intersting to read, not interesting to create. Another update from work, we're maning an HPV&Vaccine education booth at a back to school health fair. Problem is, it's during my final exam that I just got special permission from my teacher to take early. Now I have to see if she'll let me reschedule again and take it even earlier. I've been anxiously awaiting her reply all day. No luck.
Weekend Plans!
1. Sushi in downtown Dallas with my sister and brother-in-law on Friday night!
2. Inception, possibly at the Movie Tavern in FTW followed by Sweet Sammies. (yum yum homade icecream sandwiches with none other than Bluebell icecream)
3. Possom Kingdom Lake to jump off even higher cliffs- we jumped off 30ft cliffs at Lake Whitney last Saturday for Kyle's bday.
4. Homework, writing my Spanish presentation on Terrorism or Marraige (whhhat?)
5. Sleep, sleep, sleep, and church.
Aime's, I love you!

blah blah yadda yadda yadda
Sooo tired right now. I feel guilty for not updating now that I can see every visitor that comes to my page. It's way more accurate than the "profile views" thing that blogger has. I love that I can know where people are from that visit my blog. It's so interesting and fun to see all the different cities. I always try and guess who they are, but I never can... because other than my 8 followers I have no clue who reads this blog. But I know I do have some unofficial subscribers that visit regularly! (or multiple visitors from the same city, which is also very possible). So far I think I've had 6 Texas cities visit me, 2 from California, some for the plain ol' USA and a couple from Lincoln and Omaha. I love it when the mystery cities return too.
Ok, now for my real, non-internet life.
Kyle and I went on a double date with a couple friend of ours and that was a ton of fun. We hang out with them a lot, but this was the first time it was an official double date. We ate way to much Tons and played with their adorable mutt puppy Owen who likes to try and bite Kyle's neck. I think it's great to have a young married couple that Kyle and I can befriend (chill Amanada, we need more than 1 couple friend) and get advice and share fun times with.
Had a meeting over the HPV grant today. Our HPV grant was awarded to fund CCH's HPV education outreach and inreach program. Informing the public about HPV and the vaccine and doing inreach within clinics, hospitals, etc. I wish I wasn't leaving Tejas in 3.5 weeks because I am totally stoked about our grant project and am just ready to dive right in! I'm working on getting up to date brochures at the moment for the Hispanic Wellness Fair in August but health and scientific research changes so fast that even the CDC (center for disease control) can't keep up! We're doing a facebook campaign as well and I'm totally bummed I won't be there for the set up of that. But as soon as it's up and running expect me to "Like" it. Another meeting tomorrow to divvy out responsibilities and I'm excited to see where I'm needed :)
Also, because I have been researching and working with HPV and the HPV vaccine for the last 2 summers I must tell you, if you are between the ages of 9 &26 and have not yet been vaccinated or you have not yet completed the entire HPV series... DO IT!! Well worth it, and it is recomended by the CDC. I'll provide resources for those interested because as much as I think you should get vaccinated, you need to make an informed decision about what's right for you.
