OUR THANKSIVERSARY

Our anniversary is on Nov 27th (every year!) so we like to have Thanksgiving to ourselves. We cook our own Thanksgiving feast and we look forward to it every year because we can just do what we want and don't have to worry about anything. It is quite nice. I was just thinking how fast time flies. We have lived in this house for 3 1/2 years! Can you believe it! Below is a recap of all our thanksgivings that we have cooked (and they are all in this house! Crazy!)

Below those pics are some from this year. Enjoy.

And a few from this year...

Here I am.

So, here I am.
I finished my 4th (out of 6) rotation yesterday (my flash drive died so I had to quickly redo my final poster presentation before I left- that was fun. ;P ).
I have my clinical seminar on Tuesday, which is an hour long presentation to faculty and students debating a controversial pharmaceutical issue (My seminar debate is "Does Ortho Evra, the contraceptive patch, cause blood clots?").
After I present my seminar, I get to write a journal article (before Saturday).
I then fly to Orlando, FL on Saturday to present my poster/article at the National ASHP Convention (American Society of Health System Pharmacists).
I fly home on Wednesday and.....I'm done!
...until January 2nd.
then I have two more rotations. One at the UofU Redwood Pharmacy and then the Pregnancy Risk Line. Then I'm done....maybe. Yay! :)

Oh yeah....and today is Ben and my 6th Anniversary! Can you believe it?

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Divorce

A man in Phoenix calls his son in New York the day before Thanksgiving and says, "I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are getting a divorce....forty-five years of misery is enough."

"Pop, what are you talking about?" the son screams.

"We can't stand the sight of each other any longer" the father says. "We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her."

Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. "Like heck they're getting divorced..." she shouts. "I'll take care of this."

She calls Phoenix immediately, and screams at her father, "You are NOT getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?" and hangs up.

The old man hangs up the phone and turns to his wife. "Okay," he says, "They're coming for Thanksgiving, and paying their own way."

Remarkable....I've actually never seen anybody do that...

FYI: Med Recall

"Johnson & Johnson-Merck Consumer Pharmaceuticals Co. recalled certain bottles of nonstaining Mylicon gas-relief dye-free drops. The recalled drops were sold in one-ounce plastic bottles that were distributed to stores and pharmacies after Oct. 5. ... The recalled bottles are from lots SMF007 and SMF008." The "numbers are printed on the bottom of the box and on the lower-left side of the sticker on each bottle."

According to Bloomberg News, Johnson & Johnson-Merck Consumer Pharmaceuticals are recalling approximately 12,000 units "because some bottles may include metal fragments." The company "said the metal fragments were generated during the manufacturing process. The company urged consumers to stop using the recalled drops though it said if any medical effects occur, most are expected to be temporary and resolved without medical treatment."
