Pumpkin Carving!

Pumpkin Carving is So Much FUN!




Ollie likes it too :)

Thanks to Amber for hosting! I personally think the monster is the best, although the pumpkin eating a pumpkin is pretty cool, too.

New Title

It has come to our attention that the title that announces this blog, "Resident Spouse Alliance," may strike fear in the heart of those among us who are unmarried. So much so, in fact, that others may feel excluded from exciting festivities, like a pumpkin-carving party, for instance. I move we change the name to "Resident Support Alliance," "JPS Support Team," "The John Peter Smith Group to Tend To, Care For, Feed, and in Any Other Possibly Helpful Way Support the Residents of John Peter Smith Hospital by Those Who Love Them."
Or something like that.
Do I hear a second?
Do I hear a better suggestion?

Thursday Night Comedy at Four Day Weekend with Curtis Needs a Ride!

Curtis Needs a Ride- Improv Comedy

Check out their Facebook page and head on down to Four Day Weekend Thursday night comedy show for just $10!!!

One of the members of this comedy team works with me and so I have become a follower of their improv comedy.

I went to the show last Thursday and my mouth was sore from so much laughing. It is truly worth the $10 spent to have a night out with good friends and many laughs. You may even get called up on stage!

I want to dedicate a night where the RSA group can go. If you love to laugh, you'll love this show!


P.S. They did say paying $20 for the weekend shows are definitely worth it!

JPS: Working 30 hours? We'll cut dinner and limit your food purchase.

Is anyone else annoyed that JPS has cut back on cafe hours, the lunch budget and the amount of food that can be purchased at once? The cafe hours are now only for breakfast and lunch, so when are they able to eat dinner on call? I refuse to accept McDonalds is their only course of food when they used to have salads and subs (healthier options) in the cafe. The budget has been cut, which is also rediculous expecially for those living alone who don't have time to cook because they are so sleep deprived. They have now also limited how much you can buy at once. If someone is on call and they have closed down for dinner, they should be able to purchase to main entrees. Is there anyway RSA can e-mail JPS to express to them our concerns for our interns and residents? They should reevaluate their cafeteria. A lot of patients and families could benefit from that too, it's not just the employess. Although, I feel that these cutbacks are hitting the employess the most.

Thanksgiving Plans

Dear friends,
The holidays are quickly approaching, and I know many of us are miles away from family and vacation time doesn't always correlate to holidays. I want to extend a special invitation to my home for Thanksgiving Day. I'll be cooking up a storm. So please come if your spouse is working, if you are far away from home, if you'll be alone, or if you're just plain hungry. But try to let me know ahead of time so I can know how big of a turkey to roast.
Email me at amberjoyc(at)yahoo(dot)com if you are interested in coming. Even if your spouse is off but you're still a long way from family. All are welcome.
Happy holidays,
Amber Brantly
