Red Virtual Names

I feel like I have not blogged in a while, but, in my defense, my Mother seems to do all the dirty work for me, and I just get to enjoy! So check out her pics if you were wondering what I was up to. I will be posting mine after I get back from San Diego on my "Happy 30th Birthday Margo! Let's Paint the Town Red!" party trip! I assure you, you will all be virtually there.
My last virtual adventure was a virtual date. Yes, a bonefide date! Woo-hoo for me! Of course, it was virtual, which meant we were not in the same state, or timezone for that matter, but whatever. We went to the park, admired the stars, which happen to be the same for most time zones, and we chatted for a good 3 hours. Works for me! Gotta make the best of any situation, right?
Speaking of making the best of situations, I think I made my patients day by just writing my name. In his native language, that is! Arabic!
As I may have mentioned, I enjoy learning new languages, and at this hospital, there are a lot of Arabic speaking patients. Many more than I am used to. But imagine the shock and delight of my guy when I forged the language/culture gap and offered a little of his nativespeak. Very cool.
Now, let me try some nativespeak for you Canadians out there. I'll do it by signing off!
It's good to be me!
Looney Laura, eh?
