:: things be changin round these parts ::

So.....

I was working with this one provider named Donna.

Then one day Donna took another job teaching nursing at Westminster University--so happy for her.  

So that means...I was looking for a new home in the provider area

I have settled as Dr. Abraham's new medical assistant

and in all honestly- I am kind of excited about it.  I would very much like to be getting paid more 

but I will work on that.  I am excited because Dr. Abraham does A LOT of thyroid ultrasounds and in case you haven't checked the info about me on the lil sidebar over there I want to do ultrasound for my career. 

Dr. Abraham is teaching me very well and I will eventually be doing the ultrasounds by myself! say what?!?! pretty cool right? 

This is what I will be doing

and this is what I will see! unless they have some thyroid problem :(

I have been a terrible blogger lately but  I am trying to figure out how to re do my blog

because currently I don't like it so keep cool my babies-and stay posted! 

:: Steven ::

My nephew Steven

is GRADUATED

holy freaking crap.

How did he get this old?

wait....

how did I get this old?

It was strangely emotional watching him graduate.

It took me back to my graduation and how excited I was and now that I know better

it makes me sad to look at this kids just graduating saying

"I can't wait to graduate, high school sucks!"

oh you youngsters and your inability to see how bad being an adult sucks.

I would go back to my senior year in high school ANY DAY\

like...seriously.

But...

I am still so proud of my nephew

he has overcome so many challenges in the last

5 or 6 years that most young people would have let destroy them

He double lettered in sports

Baseball and wrestling

was in AP math

and actually got good grades

So proud of you Steven Keith

you are a role model to other kids who have had hardships like yours

you didn't let it destroy you

you didn't let it bring you down

and you didn't make the same mistakes you had witnessed

I love you!

I hope you continue on with the same strength and determination

that has kept you going this far.

love your favorite "auntew"

(get it? he calls me auntew cause I call him nephew ha ha)

The blogger in me

is like a schizophrenic woman. Sometimes she likes to blog, sometimes she finds it to be a useless task with a mere four followers (not that I don't appreciate you four loverly ladies).  But I have had an eventful weekend- four day weekend that I absolutely needed, finished about two projects (one of which is major!) got randomly sick, and rested...a lot.  Pictures to come :)

Hope you all had a nice Memorial Day weekend (big shout out to our troops- the reason for this day) 

:: If one day you get the urge......::

....... to be a Medical Assistant.

DON'T

well okay you can but only if you like being

a personal assistant, a secretary, a phlebotomist, a medical records person, and a professional hand holder to those that can't do a damn thing for themselves!

I really like my job today--can you tell?

Lies.

I am also a bitter betty because...surprise! I did NOT get into the rad tech program

apparently now not only is my math grade not good enough but neither is my anatomy grade.

So cool.

I worked my ass behind off in that class to get a C+

but now I need a B-

and I need to re take math again

and somehow magically work full time

that will totally work right?

nope.

not all.

Sorry this isn't some dandy precious positive post

but

this is me

bitter and i feel cheated.

I had three friends thats right THREE

graduate with their bachelors degrees this year

and

here I am

still here- like I have been for the last five years.

Oh hi...this is me..loser-ville population: One Trina 

:: Hope ::

I have HOPE.

hope that some day cancer will no longer be a feared word

hope that we wont need to wear ribbons to show the pain we have felt

hope that hair loss will only be associated with old age

hope that children and families will not be scared of the unknown

hope that everytime a "lump" is found in the future we don't immediately think the worst

hope that surgery is not something people will need to save their life

Putting poison and radiation through our bodies will be a thing of the past

we will wear pink because it's pretty- not because we want to show the cancer we have seen

 Untill that day...

Myself

my mother

my sister

my other sisters

my brother

my father

and everyone else close to our family

will look breast cancer in the face

and say

F@#! you!!

we will defeat you

we will do it with class

we will do it with the support of our loved ones

and we will fight you because we are tough

we are the Black's

we don't mess around

we get shit done

and we get it done right

Nobody is stronger than a woman raising four boys

running her husbands company

and dealing with the lifelong disease diabetes

NOBODY

and no one is more supportive than her crazy family

She has guardian angels

because she herself is an angel here on eath

so again I say

 F@#! you

breast cancer

we are going to kick your ass Black Family style.

It's time to get my game face on

I have a disease to fight

and a sister to love.

:: My baby nephew ::

My baby nephew Steven

is GRADUATING from High School

in about three weeks.

I can't even believe that he is that old

I remember when he first got his drivers license and I thought he was old then!

I took some awesome pics of him last night

so that he could use them as senior pics and for his announcements

He photographs well- must be the good looks he inherited from me : )

Here is a little sneaky peaky at my hottie nephew



Soooo epic right?









***** Hi Juliette!!! : ) *******

~ Can I please just say..?? ~

How much I HATE  cancer.

any kind of cancer- but especially Breast cancer.

Get out of our boobies.

they are meant to hold up hot dresses and to feed our children

not to be infected with a life threatening disease.

Just LEAVE US ALONE CANCER

you are an ugly ugly disease

you cause people to have surgery

get radiation put into their body

and loose their hair

NOBODY LIKES YOU

Get out of my family.

get out of this world in general.

I wish I could wear every possible cancer ribbon everyday

but I especially rock the pink

Breast Cancer,
 science WILL DESTROY YOU SOMEDAY

and when it does...I will be the first to dance on your grave.
