So what did I do to bide the time between meals and routine blood draws from the IV in my arm you ask? This:
- Slept!!!
- Read a bit
- Chatted with my roomie Sally--she's 18 and getting married in Vegas two weeks from now to a boy from Bulgaria. Honestly, she is a really nice girl. I was pleasantly surprised how well we got along.
- Painted my toenails and fingernails
- Watched Juno! Love that movie.
- Watched an obscene amount of television--so much you kind of feel sick afterwards because you haven't done anything to get your blood pumping for awhile. Gross!
**Disclaimer: we were strictly told to not participate in any strenuous exercise during the course of the study (Translation: I better be really good about eating healthy. Thankfully chocolate is also off limits during the study. That will help).**
Bonus: they fed us all our meals and gave us good snacks, i.e. fruit snacks, granola bars, apples, yogurt, etc. It was also a great weekend for 80's dance flicks on T.V.; Flashdance AND Girls Just Want to Have Fun were both shown...multiple times.
1 stay down and 2 more to go. Then the $4500 is MINE! HAHAHAHAHA.

$4500? Dang, girl. That's way more than that one birth control study or whatever it was. How did you even hear about this? And why wasn't I informed? ;)
wow that's awesome! I'd totally do that needles and all
Dang, how do I get into that shiz? We need to get in touch...one of these days when I am in Salt Lake I need to see your new place and pick up a book my co-worker let your roomie(K-dub) borrow. AND I want to hear the latest about...lets call it(or him) the Californian treat!
A coed sleepover would've been much more fun. Then it could've been all..."What happens in the Research Lab stays in the Research Lab."
Wow, having worked at the IRB, $4500 seems a bit coercive (or so they say). In the meantime, where do I sign up?
Good to hear from you again. Don't you know I anxiously await your posts?
I've been emailing Cookie while she's in Israel, and it's be SO fun getting re-aquainted with her. She's so grown up. I'm sure you know all her info, but I was impressed. She even has a boy? Crazy.
Shanna, I totally wanna do this. Although I'm very glad you're out.
Jessie! So good to hear from you too! Thanks for keeping in touch...you've always been so good at that.
That's awesome your emailing Cookie. I actually don't know all her info, however, I have met "the boy". He's a really nice kid, and of course, very smart!
