the wallpaper on my phone-- I can't quite grasp why
 they didn't have anything Wild...

Yet another long week in the clinic, but the arrival of my much needed new phone on Wednesday made the week considerably more bearable. (One of my grandmas already has an iPhone, and the other has an iPad, so it was definitely time to upgrade.) Turns out, Siri and all the other cool new gadgets on the iPhone 4s are certainly living up to the hype. Good thing I got all of my treatment planning for Thursday done during the day on Wednesday, because I dedicated the entire night to my new toy, and to training Siri to obey my every command. 

My fav convo so far-- Me: Siri, what's the best phone out there? Siri: You're kidding, right?

Somehow, I managed to get out of work on time on Thursday (there was no way I was putting in another 13-hour day like last week), and met up with Paige, Layla and Alisa at Don Pablo's to catch up about our first and second clinicals. We were there for over 2 hours (meaning I ate about six servings of chips and salsa), but it was awesome. (We missed you, Kaitlin!)

I spent the weekend at my mom's scrapbooking retreat at a hotel with Paige, Mac and Kristy. But of course, I don't have the patience to sit at my computer (scrapbooking is going digital, FYI) for 55 straight hours, so I took a few breaks--

Paige and her overwhelming supply of paper

1) Eagles' season opener was on Friday night (my WHAM aka Women's Hockey Association of Minnesota team)--chyeah, we're starting the season off undefeated. 3-1 win, and I scored the first goal :)

2) Social hour/wedding planning sesh with Alina on Saturday--tried on our gorgeous bridesmaid dresses and worked on her Save the Dates.

3) Par-tay in Northfield on Saturday night--Kristy, Tay and I headed to Carleton to see Kristy's bro. Pure jam session on the drive down (a little Maroon 5 interspersed with some Party Rock Anthem). The theme was heaven and hell-- Kristy was glowing in her white workout tank and my white Under Armour shorts as an angel, Tay rocked the red devil look, and I'm not entirely sure what I was supposed to be--a fallen angel, perhaps? (I even had wings, but they made life difficult, so I vetoed them early on). King's Cup was a hit, and while the official dance party ended early, props to Kristy for continuing it unofficially. SWOOP.

By now, I've settled into a typical Sunday night routine-- Spotify, cinnamon tea and treatment planning. Looooong day tomorrow (a new eval + hockey at night), but pretty dang excited that I get to take Tuesday off to head to Children's Hospital in downtown Mpls to observe hematology/oncology PT in the AM, and serial casting in the PM. Then-- road trippin' to Iowa to visit Jess and Matt this wknd! Friday can't come soon enough.
