Happy Halloween, if only in words…
10.31.06 | Permalink | 4 CommentsPeople such as my dear Brady perhaps expected some pictures of festive cookies here today, but alas, there is not even a fun-sized candy bar in my house. Though I had long dreamed of being a pregnant nun for Halloween someday, there will be no costumes in my world this year. I just had no […]

Product placement
10.24.06 | Permalink | 3 CommentsI left the dogs inside today while I went to my baby checkup (all is great, by the way!) because it looked like rain. I have been cleaning closets and had a box marked “junk to deal with later” sitting out… Sarge helped himself to the watercolors. It was past time to get out the […]

Anatomy of an Oktoberfest Dessert
Now here’s a post that belongs on Blakery. My friends are having an Oktoberfest party tonight, and I made a Black Forest Cake. As I do not have a proper round cake transporter (and I wanted it to serve more people), it is rectangular. I piled it too high for my pan’s lid to fit, […]

Word of the Day
For those who have had trouble, the picture links to today’s dictionary.com Word of the Day, obstreperous. But I wanted to update because I just got back from what is probably the most successful walk the dogs and I have ever had. This really is working, and I’m quite the proud mama.

Belly time!
Since the announcement of our bun in the oven, there have been requests for belly pics. Here we are at 22 weeks and 5 days. More to follow when someone else can take the pictures. (Also, yes; I scoff at the “rules” that say one cannot wear white after Labor Day. This particular one enjoys […]

I was hoping for a celebratory moment.
10.13.06 | Permalink | 3 CommentsMCAT scores are out, and I almost did well. They liked my writing at least. I can say I was snot-nosed, coughing, and pregnant, but none of that would have mattered if I had known the material well enough. Let’s just hope that the sum of myself as an applicant is greater than the parts.

Quite nice
I had another wonderful trip to Arizona. We are now under the one month mark until Joel comes home! I must say, if he had to be somewhere, that was a nice place for him to be. I certainly enjoy visiting. Unfortunately the med school in Tucson requires its students to be Arizona residents. If […]

Long awaited things
I have an exciting night planned, and most of it involves TV. The Biggest Loser airs at 8PM, which I will watch live while the Season 3 Premiere of LOST is covered by TiVo. Then, to pass the time I would otherwise spend waiting in pure agony, I will watch the TiVo recording of America’s […]

Perhaps there is a silver lining?
Applying to med school is hard. Officially I’d like to forget that this weekend happened. At least I know what my answer will be (provided that I actually get an interview) to one potentially difficult question: What is my most glaring weakness? Inability to handle stress effectively. I’ll need to be fixing that. Two things […]
