I want to do something unusual for my bachelorette party, but the more I look at trips the more expensive and extravagant going anywhere seems. It is starting to look really inviting to just head to Minneapolis, get a nice suite room somewhere downtown, and run around up there having a good (less expensive) time.
Ideas we had tossed around included going to Vegas, Chicago, and tonight the girls and I talked about checking out a Disneyland trip. I just don't know what I want to do, other than possibly going dancing, staying somewhere nice, and being with the girls. A couple of them have suggested going for a spa day somewhere, which could be fun. I just don't know yet what I'm up for, and I need to book tickets soon. I will try to call the local travel agent's office this week to see what they might have in the line of packages.
In other news, John and I will be heading up to Chuck and Michal's this weekend for games and Chuck's homebrewed beer. Blixi will be staying at Gramma Yost's.
Speaking of Blix, she's been rather well behaved lately, though kind of barky. She went with me to Hutchinson to help clean out the basement at the house last weekend with Pam, Joe, and Emily. I'm excited to see how the remodel of the basement turns out!
I've been really busy with work, tests and review and dissection. My student's microbe identification lab projects turned out very well, the pamphlets were impressive.
Assessment day is tomorrow, a full day of meetings. I wish I could say I was looking forward to it more, but getting there at 8:30am and coming home at 9pm is not my idea of a great day. Makes the rest of the week look easier though.
Cadaver information here:
I opened up the abdominal cavity today and removed the heart for preservation. While opening the abdomen I found these neat looking mesh cones down in the inguinal area. When I asked the surgical tech instructor what that might have come from, she told me the guy had an inguinal hernia that was treated. He had also had triple bypass surgery and an appendectomy. I haven't determined whether he has his gall bladder, but I haven't found the little green thing yet after a cursory investigation. So, similar to last year with much less anatomical oddity.

I say the outing in Minneapolis sounds fantastic (and not just because I miss home!). That way you could have an extravagant weekend and totally afford to splurge...you could do the spa thing and the dancing and shopping and get a beautiful suite... I think that sounds wonderful! But a trip I'm sure would be great...
I had to look up what inguinal meant - ha! So much interesting stuff you learn about these people!
