Chris read my post from last night and called and told me that hospital cafeteria sushi is a bad idea, my parents don't need me to get food poisoning right now, lecture, lecture, lecture. It is not even raw fish sushi. The med student said the sushi chef makes it every day. I think it would be hilariously ironic to get food poisoning from hospital cafeteria food. I went to get a taco salad, but it was 2:45 and the cafeteria was out of tortilla bowls. I said, "Okay, I'll have chicken nachos instead." The cafeteria was out of chicken. So I got nachos with (cold) cheese dip and black beans and guacamole. I also bought two chocolate chip cookies and a THIRTY-THREE OUNCE REAL COKE! I hear people say all the time that regular coke is too sweet, once you get used to diet you won't like regular coke anymore, stuff like that. Let me tell you, fountain cokes are one of my favorite things on earth. Chris agrees with me, even though it is not healthy. At this point in my life, if my only addiction is regular coke, I think I will be just fine.
Much better day today. Attentive nurses and a very nice new physician. Thank you for all the prayers and emails and phones calls and text messages. It helps to hear from people! I am sure my blog posts will be more bizarre than usual because I am mostly trying to entertain myself. I bought the GRE study guide and vocab book. I was reading the vocab words, and I thought to myself, "Wow, I know almost all of these words! I must be pretty smart!" Then I really looked at how the book was organized, three parts: hard, harder, hardest. I was only reading the "hard" words. I guess I am not as smart as I think I am...
I emailed Chris this article (I email him sociology-related articles all the time, just to get on his nerves a little) and told him I could be a demographer. This is what his response was (notice I didn't edit):
it looks to me that we could take advantage of this situation and have children now while other women arent that way when the economy gets better and women quit there jobs to return to having children there will be many job openings for you since by then our children will be starting school. HA
He is so silly. I didn't email him to show him the greatness of the article (it isn't worth reading) but to show him that sociologists study demographics. Whatever.
I think I may go back to the bookstore tonight to buy some fun books. I can't really study right now, and it will be a few more weeks (at least) before we come home. Chris said that every time Brooks hears a car door he barks and runs to the door. That makes me sad. I know he doesn't understand what is going on. Chris won't admit it, but I think he is probably spoiling the dog. I would even bet that Brooks has been sleeping in the bed with Chris.
I just ate the two cookies and finished my coke...mmm good. I may start a new diet consisting of coke and cookies...Whatcha think about that, Dr. Shubert?

I don't like Coke unless it's fountain. Then it's pretty good... and it's funny that Chris agrees.
Wait until you read all of the harder and hardest words to decide you're not smart. Nobody talks like that, they just write that like, and that's only because they have the GRE vocab book sitting around to use as a thesaurus while they're writing.
I noticed in scanning that article that nobody mentioned that when you're under severe levels of stress, such as during economic upheaval, your body's hormone levels change and it's more difficult to CONCEIVE A CHILD. Saying THAT would take away the PRO-CHOICE spin.
Chris is a rascal. I was going to say earlier today that I bet he's babying Brooks more than you do. How much icecream do you think Brooks has had while you've been gone? haha
I survived one semester on tropical Skittles and Mt. Dew. Really. I had three classes in the science building and one in CB15, and I could get tropical skittles and Mt. Dew in both of those places, so that's what I ate. Until I started eating those humongous hamburgers from the HUC. Ugh... that's when I gained twenty pounds.
I gained my twenty pounds stopping at Jack's every morning for a biscuit and a fountain coke. Then after we got married, I gained 15 (ahem 20) more pounds, but I am not exactly sure where it came from??? Today Mindy posted a picture on facebook of me in high school, and it made me sad. Because I was so skinny. And tan. And my teeth were REALLY white. Sigh. It's only gonna get worse...
You know Erin, my friend that patented a molecule? She said that dark colas are bad because of all of the phosphates (or something like that). She is way too smart. She reads my blog, and I am sure that she appreciates the label I have given her. You would think I would know better than to place a label, since I am thisclose to being an expert on labeling theory...
I am so glad CB15 is gone (that's where the SBS is now, yay). That place gave me the heebiejeebies for some reason.
I am back at the apartment now, about to find something to eat...at 10:15pm...that will help my weight problem.
Oh, and I bought a book that is a compilation of Jane Austen novels. I know that isn't fun to most people, but I didn't feel like trying something new only to be disappointed. A distraction from the distraction.
Jane Austen sounds like a great idea... you'll have to concentrate for the first few chapters, but once you get your mind wrapped around the phrasing it'll be relaxing.
I know dark colas are worse for you than clear colas, and you should drink water and blah blah blah... but water gives me heartburn. And too much juice gives me heartburn AND a "sugar episode."
Actually I havent feed the dog anything but dog food, a little piece of turkey left over from my sandwich, and a piece of watermelon. Also, he hasnt even wanted to sleep in the bed because his new bed is more comfy than ours.
You know my assessment of your article is valid. Just saying when you get back from little rock...HAHA
And I still stand by my statement that hospital cafeteria sushi doesnt sound like a good idea
You guys crack me up!! I bet there are some interesting conversations at the Shubert house. Amanda, I so admire your strength and attitude throughout all that you guys are going through. I know your mom and dad are so glad you are there. I really wish that we could help in some way. Know that we are praying often. Luke and Ian always pray that God will make Mrs. Rejina better, and I know He will in His time. Keep those drs and nurses on their toes! Thanks for taking the time to keep everyone updated. The Tuggles love ya!!
