On Saturday evening, we fiancees had a dinner party that included FOUR courses. We were practicing for Thanksgiving, and I'd say we did rather well. I made two quiches which were to die for. Ten made a meatloaf which was kind of blah. Boo came downstairs to socialize for a few minutes, about which Ten and I were very proud. She didn't even draw any blood. (We've recently taken the crayons away from her.)
Today I have 3-4 hours of internal medicine orientation and then I'm ON VACATION! Yes!! My parents arrive tonight after flying into Manchester. I have the mints on their pillows and all of my illicit drug paraphernalia hidden away. (At this point, I would just like to boast that I spelled paraphernalia correctly on my first try, despite being a druggie.) Tomorrow, Ten's parents arrive. Excitement is in the air.
Speaking of excitement, my brother sent Ten and me a hefty check to celebrate our engagement in splendor!! He's dear, dear, dear. We are debating how to celebrate. Perhaps The Tip Top Cafe in White River Junction, an establishment we cannot afford.
However, Ten has jury duty today, and if she takes bribes as I've instructed her, we may have in our future a growing list of establishments we can afford.

I have lost the ability to sit still in class and listen. For instance, I'm in class right now. My new hobby is walking up to my classmates with a tube of Mentos and offering one while saying, "Do us all a favor." I'm good at making friends.
Now I am surrendering the keyboard to my classmate Perdodo who is sitting next to me (and who is reading a Dan Brown novel): Haaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy.
Eloquently said, Perdodo. Here's a shout-out to Avneedles, who has recently discovered my blog.
Ten is bringing Boo down this weekend and I get to keep Boo for a week. YES! I've been wanting some more one-on-one time with Boo in order to brainwash her into liking me more than Ten. (It's not hard. I mix treats into her food bowl.) Saturday evening we are having an elegant dinner party: beer and meatloaf. Ten and I are also going to work on our 11x17 Christmas card which all of you will be receiving.

On Saturday I turned 26 and Ten and I got engaged. Other than that, not much is new.
Regarding the engagement, Ten and I went to Shelburne Farms in the morning to walk the old route we snowshoed back on February 10, 2007. The whole time, all I could think was, "Wow, I was in better shape back then." Then at the Inn, looking out over Lake Champlain, at the site where I had long ago pronounced the h in chasm, we said some prepared words. Mine were excellent. I don't really remember what Ten said, but I'm sure her words were pretty good too. Then we exchanged rings. Then we did a happy dance. Then we went and picked pretty rocks and skipped them across the lake.
Today is my last day of my psychiatry rotation. There are things about psychiatry I will very much miss such as the proximity of my unit to the cafeteria, the dear residents, and the hours. Next up: Internal Medicine!

Hello, Blog Readers!
Last night I text messaged Ten "I've found someone else. It's over." It took her a full hour and 15 minutes to call me back. Sometimes I don't think she takes me seriously enough.
This is my last day of psych consult, which is good, because I hate psych consult. I'm going to spend the weekend with Ten up in Charlotte. All my dirty laundry is in my car, and I'm ready to leave right after work. This weekend I will be working on a presentation I'm doing on The Othello Syndrome: Delusional Jealousy. See, Route52? You're not the only one studying Shakespeare these days.
