Things

2010 has gotten off to a very interesting start this year! I'm looking forward to the weddings- both Amy and Katie have asked Hannah to be a junior bridesmaid and Micah to be the ring-bearer! Hannah is over the moon about being in two weddings in one year! :) She was a flower-girl twice when she was little, but a jr. bridesmaid is sooo much cooler! LOL She's at that age where little girls start dreaming of "when I grow up". She is starting to talk about "when I get married" and making my heart palpitate! :) Nathan was asked to be a groomsman in Matthew's wedding, too, so it will be a family affair.
Amy's wedding has been moved up to April 24th, so they are in high gear with the planning. She asked me to be coordinate the ceremony and processional. I guess she thinks I might be good at bossing people around or something! LOL :D Who'da thought?? :D I'm also going to help Sara with the bachelorette party/lingerie shower. We have some really great ideas! ;)
This past week at the office we have been training for our big EMR switch. I think we are ready to go green! It's taking us longer to room the patients, but it will get better with some experience. The software is really great, and once we get used to it, we will be able to send prescriptions directly to the pharmacy (no more written prescriptions for the patients to lose), fax consult notes to the PCPs, and print/fax all orders for labs, etc. We won't need a pen for anything! LOL If we don't go stark raving mad before that point! :) My boss is not the most technically savvy guy, so it was a rough week. I think he is seeing hope for himself, though! He even said it might not be a disaster after all! LOL
The bad part of the whole thing is that my blood pressure spiked again. It was high all week and on Friday, after a freak-out by the boss, it was 150/96. Not good. Going to have to go back on my diet again and drop a few pounds, since that always seems to reign it in. I did gain about 3 pounds over the holidays, which put me over the magic number my BP seems to like. As long as I don't go over that point, it will stay down; but BP has proved again that my body does not like to be any heavier. Great. I need to lose more this time so there is a bigger grace-period! LOL Nathan and I have been considering adopting a vegetarian diet during the week and having chicken or fish on the weekends. We aren't quite ready to go completely veg, but I think it wouldn't be too hard to be majority veg. Mom and Dad have been following the McDougal diet and she has several really good recipes for vegan meals. Nathan and I are both ready for a change. The things that worked for us before regarding our diet aren't working anymore and we are getting frustrated.
Ok! I guess this post is long enough and totally devoid of any really interesting topics! :) Just the ramblings of a woman up way past her bedtime! Night everyone!!
