Before I write about the best dinner parties, I wanted to share that I did not get a secondary line. That’s just fine because reserve life is all I know, and I make the best of it! 🙂 However, I did get my first choice reserve line! I chose off days that corresponds with my husband’s schedule. Since it’s the busy season (June – August), I did not want weekends off, as it’s more difficult to travel Fridays through Mondays during the summer. The lightest travel days are Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. We’ll see if I get a secondary for July… I’ll be happy either way, of course!
Future scheduling (scheduling for the next day) gave me a courtesy call (a call on my “off” day to let me choose to fly, take OPR or ROC – remain on call) today, as they start calling reserves at 1500 for trips starting the next day. I always enjoy hearing, “Hi, Kim it’s so & so from future. Where would you like to go tomorrow?” There were only a few trips left open, so I took 1100 OPR. Last night, my dear friend Nayana called to let me know she’ll be in PHX (Phoenix, AZ) for the nationals volleyball tournament. My first priority was to take a trip with a PHX layover, so I could see her!! Because no PHX overnight was available when it was my turn to choose a trip, I took OPR for a chance to get a PHX layover as I could pass a trip to somebody junior if something else comes up on our shift. If I coast through OPR, I could choose a trip from future for Saturday. We’ll see what happens, and I’ll let you know!
Recipe will be posted when I receive it! Stay tuned!
Now, my roommate’s classmate closed on a townhouse in our same complex, so we’ll be neighbors! In celebration, Colleen threw one of her infamous dinner parties as she’s an amazing cook! What wonderful timing that I could attend!!! 🙂 She made some delicious lemon chicken, corn casserole, pasta salad, and Texas Caviar – an appetizer I couldn’t stop eating! I did take a quick photo of the appetizer and got permission to share the recipe when she sends it to me. I just need to remember to take photos of the food BEFORE I eat so much of it. I’ll get better… 🙂 In the meantime, you’ll have to come back for when I post the recipe. For now, here’s a photo to tantalize your taste buds!
