Sometimes I’m such a girl. I think it’s becoming more obvious because I am around many men all day long. (Med students are still mostly men.) Here are some of the girly things I’ve noticed about myself lately.
(1) Has anyone else seen those cute discover credit cards being advertised on the web? They come in pastel colors and you can get them personalized with your monogram. I immediately was like, “Frank - I want one of those.” He looked at me like I had temporarily lost my mind. He explained there was no need - I already have 2 cards that I use to keep my credit score high and to get free airmiles or cash back. I know I don’t need one. But, they are still cute.
(2) Now that I am done with exams, I have some free time on my hands. What have I been doing? I bought a gossip magazine and read it cover to cover while I laid in the sun. Then I came inside and searched the web for baby stuff. Cute nursery items. Not showing shirts. Blogs.
(3) What did I do after I found out we would be staying here longer? (Well, after I cried.) I wrote out our new timeline here and after. Of course, it included (in detail) the adoption timeline. This lead to doodling of baby names. Girly, I know. I admit it.
(4) Finally, I have been really trying to drink more water. It’s hot here and I feel dehydrated a lot of the time. Plus, I’m trying to get myself in better shape. So anyways, I’ve been drinking a lot of water and I have noticed my bladder really is the size of a thimble. I have a problem. It goes right through me.
So it’s official. There is no doubt about it. I am a girlie-girl!
My med school class was (I think) just over 50% WOMEN. Times they are a changin’.

Fellow girly-girl here. I saw the ad for the pink Dell computer and told Scott I wanted that, he just rolled his eyes. Grace has a pink life as I indulge my girly side.
