As Dean Simmons would say, 'Never eat anything bigger than your head...'

Today was pretty damn busy, and it definitely distracted me from thinking too much about starting work tomorrow. Usually, if I have it my way, I will sit around and stew about things until I need to be peeled off the couch and until the pout is permanently smeared across my face. But not today, folks... Not today.

First we had lunch with my friend Chief Bright Bean and her boyfriend Gus. Yay for a big steaming bowl of Pho from the best Vietnamese restaurant around: Yummy Yummy, on 11th and Irving.

This soup was definitely bigger than Chief's head:

And Gus ordered some fancy panties down home Asian beverage that had coconut milk, red beans, yellow beans, gelatin strips and a large chunk of mung bean over ice.

*Supresses Gag Reflex*

I have some serious texture issues, so this did not please me. It was actually pretty good (I reluctantly took a sip).... But I still stand firm in my belief that things you drink should nothave to be chewed. That's why I don't drink Bubble Tea.

Gus and his mung:

The best part of the day was going to visit Loody's Mom at Guide Dog School. She has a new pup named Rhumba, and this dog is the sweetest, lankiest, softest beast I have ever seen. Plus we got to see all the puppies in training! Loody has much more to say about this, and you should go read her blog.

But here is me, introducing myself to Rhumba:

And last, but not least, I am petrified and excited as all get out to be starting this job. I have only been bitching because I'm scared. It is what I have been working for this whole year (and really, long before that). The hospital that I am going to be working at was like home to me during my clinical rotations, and I am so proud to be able to work there. Oh hey, I mention that I'm scared?

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
