         1.  i am obsessed with Medicine. (Really???). i am not sure when this interest began, however, it seems like it was about 15 years ago, when i started following Medical School amd Medical Blogs and reading just about any Doctor-Patient books i could get my hands on. i have been interested in Health related careers since i can remember, but this obsesion is more recent and of course leads me to think "Why did i have to go crazy when i was 18 and why couldn't i have been really, really smart???".  Well, destiny stepped in, i guess.

  Okay, i know Med School isn't all fun and games, but i thought these were funny!

       2.   i had a "Brush with Greatness" one time.     When we lived in Connecticut, hubby worked at the Mark Twain House in Hartford (gorgeous!).   He called me one afternoon and said "The Boss is here, you might want to come down here. You could get to see him".  Of course, i didn't get it at all, at first. So his boss was there...so what.  "No!  The Boss- Bruce Springsteen!"  Doh!  She f i n a l l y gets it!  i zip down to The House, (we lived in West Hartford), and sure enough, The Boss was taking a tour of the House, along with his lovely wife.   After the tour, he was gracious enough to pose on the porch with some of his adoring fans. (No, Hubby was not among them.)  i stood right behing him!  Close enough to touch him...of course i didn't.   Sigh. He was really sweet.   Hubby said "He was really short".  i am not even sure i said anything to him, i was sooo starstruck!   i have the photographic proof, which i treasure. It's from a computer, so it's a bit fuzzy, but that's okay!   By the way, i have officially adopted West Hartford as "my Hometown".
 3.   i LOVE bats.  In fact, there is one hanging out front, by the door, as i write. And yes, i realize it is March.   That is his permanet home.  He fell down a while back and i finally get him back home,.  Feels much better now.   i have a collection of bats, mostly stuffies, unfortunately, no place to display them, so they are in a bag. So very wrong!    This will be remedied!!  When we go with my parents to their home in St. George, very Sourthen Utah, the bats come out at twilight and it is soooo cool, i love it.  My niece, Diana, got to see 750, 000 bats fly out from under a bridge on a boat trip on a river in Texas where she lives...WOW!
                   

        Okay, i am worn out!

  4. I love bats, they're so adorable. We get them in the attic and you can see them flying around in the evenings in summer.

    You are smart!! And even if you weren't, I'm pretty sure 75% of all doctors are morons, so you could still do it. ;D
