Seriously.....

As the mother of a child whose legal name is James Kirk, I have an affinity for people whose child naming reaches for the stars. But, galaxies far, far away?

We have a baby in room one whose name is...I kid you not... Anakin.

And of course, I cannot resist the temptation to greet him each morning by saying, "How are you, young Skywalker?"

But it gets better. Not only did I have labs to draw on Anakin this morning, but I ended up drawing labs in room two, as well. The child's name?

Luke. No relation; but wouldn't it have been a hoot if they'd been twins?

No, we don't have a Han, Leia, or Obi Wan. But we did decide we've had babies in the NICU who would easily be able to be called Yoda or Chewie.

We've also got a girl child named Layla. So, you know what that means? Yep. I walk around the unit along with many of the others and sing the song made famous by Mr. Clapton himself.

And, it looks as though I may be able to return to the land of Blog before long. I'm NOT going to commit myself to anything else - perhaps someone else will commit me, but I suspect that's a whole other thing.

And here I thought we'd lost you completely to Facebook! Good to see you back here. :-)

Nah, no chance! LOL! The only reason I seem to be on Facebook more is because I can safely be on it at work at the hospital; my blog I look at as personal and I only write on it at home. Sadly, there's been scant time at home lately except for preparation for classes and a couple of hours of sleep per night. My average sleep times are between 11 p.m. and 3 a.m., so exhaustion has almost become my middle name! But, class finishes up on Tuesday, so you might be seeing more of me back online here.

So good to "see" you! It will be nice to have you around more often if possible =)

Gonna try, Trace! I don't like overextending myself to the degree I did!
