College Orientation

Aug 27, 2011

Today hubby and I took our oldest to college orientation.  Parents sat in an auditorium and students went to varied sessions on getting involved, organization, financial aid, etc.  Afterwards there was a cookout with hamburgers, hot dogs or veggie burgers and chips.  I had a veggie burger that was dry and cold.  I added lots of ketchup, some mustard and a piece if cheese that had no chance of melting. 

We were sharing a big square table outside that sat eight with a mom and 2 students.  They left and another mom and her son came up and asked if they could sit with us.  She looked familiar and I asked her if she worked at the hospital I worked at.  She said yes.  I told her my name and said I worked in Finance.  She said she worked in the Bariatric Center. Duh!  She is the nurse practicioner that I saw at the beginning, 1 week and 1 month.  She never indicated that she knew who I was or that I should know her.  I said, Oh,  you are Noel!  She said yes.  I then turned to my hubby and daughter and said she is the nurse that I see when I go to the surgeon's office.

I guess it was a good thing that I had a veggie burger without the top half of the bun or no chips.  And my water bottle was still full.  In fact I gave it to my hubby when his pop can was empty.  I told my daughter that if I had been drinking water she would have told on me when I went in for my 3 week appt. in a couple of weeks.
