I am finally getting around to updating my blog...in my defense, I am trying to organinze a move to Cincy (on Saturday!) then a week in Denver for work, then back to Nashville for a chief banquet (for Ry!) and then back to Cincy for good. 9 days later Ry takes his boards and 3 days after that we LEAVE FOR EUROPE! :)
Anyway, last night we went to the "Chief's Roast" - this is an annual party for the ortho chief residents. The residents film videos making fun of their attendings and the attendings film videos making fun of the chief residents. Ryan was themed as the "happy Mormom" (naturally) but finally "cracked" and started drinking scope and going to Hussler. It was quite hilarious!
I thought it would be fun for the wives to do something as well, so we got together and made a list of "Things We've Learned While Being Ortho Wives". This got quite a few laughs as well. Of course some of these are more inside jokes, (and you kind of have to live with an Ortho resident to really get what it is like!) but hopefully you find them funny.
10 Things We've Learned Being Ortho Wives:
Dedicated to our wonderful ortho husbands!
1. We've learned that Grey's Anatomy, ER, and the like are ridiculously inaccurate programs and no self respecting person should watch them.
2. Every month we get to hear about another fabulous Nashville restaurant…one that we will never see the inside of.
3. We’ve learned an Ortho resident can give a great presentation despite having to excuse himself to throw up…twice.
4. We’ve learned there is NO moonlighting in Ortho…but if there “was” it would fund babies, trips to Switzerland, tile floors, minivans, and calls to the Conga.
5. We’ve learned when you say you’ll be home at 5, 5 means 7, 7 means 10, and 10 means don’t wait up.
6. We’ve learned that you get more done before 8am than we do all day.
7. We’ve learned that "Pussy" is not a word. (Puss - y)
8. We’ve learned there are things we will never have: motorcycles, ATVs, trampolines, & chainsaws. And things we will always have: helmets and handymen.
9. We’ve learned 80 hours is a normal week, 60 hours means your attending is out of town, and 8 hours is a half day.
10. We’ve learned that our husbands will NOT be doing a 2nd fellowship. In: shoulder & elbow, Young Adult Hip Preservation, Spine, Peds, New Zealand.

Loved your list! Wow . . . I'd sure lost track of your time-frame . . . moving Saturday! Good luck with all that. Are you sad to be leaving Nashville? Where in Europe are you going this time?
Wow. Your life is so exciting! Where is Cincy? So sounds like he is done done? This is not a fellowship right? I enjoyed the top ten list, that is hillarious. I have learned my trampoline lesson, maybe I could get an inground one. Have fun in Europe! Look forward to future posts about it and the house!
That is great! Good luck with the big move!! (and murren-so jealous!)
I'd love to see you at least once more before you move- when will you be here???
