Shoes with red bottoms :)

Most of you know what kind of heavenly pieces I am speaking of. Well, I have decided they are my motivation for the next 10 days. (Well, them and the Bahamas!) Colby went to a friends house last night after we had 2 friends over for dinner *story continued later* and while he was gone, I lit a few candles and watch Army Wives on Lifetime and looked at Christian Louboutin shoes at Neiman Marcus online. "Hello lovely" - as Carrie Bradshaw would say it. Its been a long standing joke that for Med School graduation, Mom is going to get my a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes. Well, my new found obsession (and hers!) with Loub's might mean a red bottom instead. I found my dream shoes, now I just need the perfect Betsey Johnson dress and my life will be complete. =)

So, about last night -- Colby thought it would be fun to have people over for dinner so our friends, Nima and Lindsay, came over for fish tacos. Colby made tortillas and BBQ'd some fresh tuna he picked up in Roseau yesterday morning. It was amazing, as always. Lindsay brought a bottle of wine and we all just hung out on the porch, while the Dominican skies dumped water on the tin roofs around us. It was a great time .. its so nice to have relaxing nights with good people that you can talk about more than fenestrated capillaries or tracheoesophageal ridges with (aka med school jargon). And, as always, Colby delivered and amazing meal.

We have a gecko living in our cupboards. He is really cute. I named him Franklin. I am praying that he will eat bugs.. and that will be his rent. He can stay if the bugs stay. That cockroach in my bed the other day was as big as him - so I can't blame him for letting that one slide.

There are some stray kitties that live by the bookstore. Someone told Colby that they think they are some fancy breed that would sell for $1000 in the States. They almost look Bengal-ish. I am trying to convince him to let me adopt one. I told him we could name it Chainsaw. His dream name for an animal. Hopefully, that won't stick - but its a good way to try and finagle what I want! hahaha oops! I don't think it will work out, Colb doesn't want to worry about moving a cat as we move (hopefully) in Dec home, to the Bahamas, to Miami in August 2009 to Chicago (again, hopefully) in December 2009. We shall see!

Histology time. Circulatory system, respiratory system and skin - and then I think I am done for today. We have plenty of time :) I feel good about things. I am just really happy with life right now. Colby and I are doing amazzzing. Semester is almost over. And break is going to be awesome.

Love from the rock.
