ELSIE!

Here is Elsie. She is the dog of my internship supervisor. Ed and I had the pleasure of watching her while her "mommy" was in India visiting family. She is the greatest dog and we both fell in love with her. We did so much together. She enjoyed running around the golf course(pic.2) and riding in the car with me(pic.4)
We miss her!


 

New York New York!

Yeah, yeah, I know this was a few weeks ago, but I haven't had the chance to do it. Just a few pics from the city.
 

BURRRR......

Well, it is definately a COLD day in New England. We knew it was coming eventually. It is the coldest it's been here in TWO years. Hmm...wasn't it just 70 degrees not that long ago?
I will be putting up new pictures up ASAP. I can't find the cord that connects my camera to the computer, so i am going to borrow ed's. There are great ones of Elsie...we miss her lots. She was a great dog to sitt for.
On a positive note, I met a great person today! He is actually my new OB/GYN. I went in for that lovely annual exam and learned that he might be a help in my music therapy career! I told him my interest is working in a neonatal intensive care unit. It just so happens that he knows the HEAD OF NEONATOLOGY at Beth Israel Medical Center here in Boston!!!!!!! He said that they are always into new research and up and coming techniques. He told me to give him a call once I have a proposal written and he will connect me. How amazing is that!!!!! You just never know the connections you will make while getting a pelvic exam!

Therapist Extroidinaire!

I haven't really had much to write lately. Today through Sunday I am watching Elsie, a beautiful yellow (though she looks white) lab. She is really sweet and unlike Champ Dog, does NOT drool everywhere. She is used to going to Star House, so she will be coming with me to work. I don't go back to school until Monday, so we will be hanging out together.
Since her Mommy is gone, I am the only therapist working at Star House for the next TWO weeks. I am excited about the challenge, but a bit nervous as well. I will post some Elsie pics when I get a chance to show you the fun we are having.

TA-DA!!!!!!!!

Finally, after so much waiting I have my grades for my first full semester of grad school!!!!!! Needless to say, I am excited!!!!
Principals and Practices of Music Therapy......A-
Theories of Music Therapy......A
Clinical Applications.......Pass (it is a pass/fail one)

This was what the sky looked like Monday. Big huge clouds and lots of rain. This was taken around 2p.m.

I just barely caught the sun before it set.

More Manchester

Two beautiful houses by the beach. I'll
take one of each!


 

Singing Beach

This is a beach in Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA. It's actually called Singing Beach! Given its name, I had to see it. We went on Sat. when it was 70 degrees!! There were many people that were there enjoying it. It's one of the few beaches that dogs to not have to be leashed. They were enjoying the weather too!
There's Mimi enjoying the day!


 

Great Gifts!

For those of you that didn't hear my Christmas gifts from Ed, I thought I would share! Ed got me tickets to see Josh Groban when he comes to Boston to sing at the Garden. The other ticket is for Kristin and he is flying her out to spend the weekend with me! How awesome is that! I can't wait!

Art Museum

Here we are sitting on the front steps of the Toledo Museum of Art. Ranked as one of the top 10 museums in the country. See, we knew Toledo had to have something!
The girls being cute, not that they have to try that hard. :)
