The interesting thing about this pic is that we have all left Bangladesh since then. 3 of us medevac'd and separated, one left early. We still talk all the time.
Well, just let us know. She should be here soon (hopefully!) and we'd love to have you stop by. We have a futon so you can always crash here if to need to (and don't mind that baby cries!).
I know I've been MIA for awhile...it's been a really rough time for me. But I think I may finally be getting the help I need. Keep your fingers crossed.
Hope everyone is doing well, especially Kami and Jaki and your babies!
I was in a car accident on Tuesday. A woman ran a red light as I was going through an intersection. I'm okay, but my car is totalled :o( Its now Sunday and I'm in possession of my mom's car, a Honda CR-V. A perfectly wonderful car, but not my car. Except now it IS my car. A gift signed over to me in the middle of a Ruby Tuesday this afternoon. I am very very sad at the loss of my car. I had it almost 4 years, and worked so hard for it (just made the final payment in March and got the title saying it was MINE)! And now one old careless woman has taken it away from me. I loved my car. It was worth more alive then dead unfortunately, so I'm not getting enough for it to get a new (used) car any time soon. But I am very grateful that I have a good, safe car to drive for now. Very kind of my parents to do this. I know my mom was planning on getting a new car in Feb anyway, but still. I have to feel bad for my mom too. She loved her car too and then Friday night they made the decision to turn it over to me. So now 2 people who loved their cars are now without them b/c of a careless driver. So, today's lesson my friends--DRIVE CAREFULLY!
OMG the exact same thing happened to me last year! I got hit by a red light runner, and had to get rid of my Civic, and I bought a CR-V :) Your mom is so sweet for giving up her car for you.
Yes, she got a ticket. And my mom found a new CR-V. So now me, my mom, and dad all have one! My dad just bought one a few months ago and loves it. I had to say goodbye to my car tonight and it was so sad. I cried.
So how about at the last minute I got another offer from a phama company--and I just accepted it this morning! So now I will be working for Aton Pharma, woo hoo! Its a way smaller company than ImClone, which I believe will have its advantages. We'll see. I know I'm super excited to hang up my nanny umbrella and get into the corporate world. I've been assembling a wardrobe over the past few weeks, and finished it off today with 3 pairs of shoes and a pocketbook. I'm gonna look super awesome! I'm just basically on Cloud 9 right now. 2 job offers in 3 weeks--that's insane! Especially since I finally gave up looking for a pharma job and accepted my fate as a lifelong nanny. Such a relief. Things are falling into place--FINALLY!
