Hello there Abigail,

Yes! And I am a complete idiot...I don't think I am playing this right...You clearly have been matched with me as you Secret Santa buddy, but I haven't received my assigning email yet!

So, to answer your question, Yep--my first time playing.

Re: GrayMatterWife

Lets play! Time for another clue.
I have been trying to think of some nice rhymes and poems but the brain is not cooperating. So, you'll be getting your clues straight up!

Something we have in common:
We each have a boy for our firstborn :babyboy:

Re: GrayMatterWife

And something else we have in common:

My DH did not do an MD-PhD, but he is one to seek "the longest path of most resistance" for his goals

Hmmmm...

Ok, if you hadn't posted the first clue, I would have guessed Suzy Sunshine. But there are lots of other folks in protracted programs... I have a short list in my mind of who you might be!!

Re: GrayMatterWife

Oh Abigail I saw your post in Grand Rounds. Nobody thinks you are dumb or an idiot! I am sure last year there was a post with better instructions at the beginning of SS!

I had to look up what protracted meant And yes my DH does tend to do things in a protracted way! But don't you go thinking I am dumb now just because I don't know what protracted means! I have a postgraduate degree too!

Another clue:

I am a SAHM.

Re: GrayMatterWife

"the longest path of most resistance"

Just how common is this phenomenon? I thought it was just mine!

Re: GrayMatterWife

But don't you go thinking I am dumb now just because I don't know what protracted means!

NO WAY! I just happen to have mastered this word because it is a very convenient, polite way of saying: "FREAKING NEVERENDING, RIDICULOUSLY EXTENDED, AND ALMOST SELF-INDULGENTLY TIME-CONSUMING!!!" For whatever reason, when I describe his education and career this way, people mistake me for bitter. It's probably because I can totally deadpan it.

Re: GrayMatterWife

Your hint for today:
I have been a member of this group for longer than you...but you are a little more verbose than I, or at least you have more posts

AH HA!! I will scan through the Members list today and that hint should help me narrow it now!!

Re: GrayMatterWife

Any guesses yet?

Here is another clue.....I live in a city by the ocean.

Re: GrayMatterWife

Are you SarahB?

SarahB's oldest is a boy, and her husband has done an insane number of fellowships...that sounds to me like a LONG path of maximum resistance...

Re: GrayMatterWife

Nope!

But since you have bigger things going on in your life that SS at the moment, I'll give you another clue......

Something Sarah and I have in common:
If we all went on the IMSN bus to an NHL game, she and I would be the only ones singing O Canada!

And something we don't:
She has many boys, I only have one

Re: GrayMatterWife

Kirsty:

I'm sorry I've been so lame this month! I know I should have been more investigatory and inquisitive. I got your gift yesterday and it was so cool! Candles, chocolate, body bar. PERFECT! You really made my day. Thank you so much...

Re: GrayMatterWife

Oh good, I am glad it got there safely! And even better to have made your day
