Today in New York there is a debonair young lad celebrating his 28th birthday. Mr. Duke Kim, I hope it is the happiest of days for you. Here it was a biochem sort of day. Miss Zoe and her Dad manned the fort while I went to school for New to Biochemistry Club (NBC) for […]
Zoe watches a lot of Sesame Street, both on the TiVo and online. She’s a little obsessed. The joke Gramps makes is to call it Obsessame Street. She knows all the characters and has favorite clips in her online profile. If you had told me my under two year old would watch television at all, […]
Today I got my family back. The Munchkin’s highly anticipated hug was even better than I had hoped. I’m so glad they had a safe trip. I think it was good for all of us. Our dinner was scrumptious; best pie ever, if I do say so myself. This was our first real holiday on […]

Surprisingly my mammaries are still intact. I thought for sure by now they would have exploded. Thanks to my salad bra of cabbage leaves I’m still conscious, but the pain has been excruciating. Motherhood is pain. You have the round ligament pain and all the backaches and headaches of pregnancy, followed by childbirth, in which […]
Today was our last official dissection. We’ll be in lab Wednesday and then for reviews and the practice and real practical exams, but I felt like today was important. We have done and learned so much. I was looking for a piece of skin to test the sharpness of our scalpel blade, and I couldn’t […]
Joel, Julie and Zoe have gone to Dallas. This is to be the longest time Zoe and I have been apart. I know she will have a great time and be well cared-for, but I miss her so much already. The milk machines are starting to get a little angry about it. Zoe didn’t even […]
Thank you, Jennic, for the inspiration. Favorites -Making cinnamon rolls with Zoe (it’s like playing Play-Doh) -Playing in Zoe’s Secret Lair -Walking and talking with a friend after studying to clear our troubled minds -Saturday night date: walking with Joel to take out the trash and get the mail (sounds a little sad on the […]
I thought of some more quirks, and since I keep posting these giant verbal sighs, I’d like to lighten up with a few of those. And I’m still having theme issues, so the bullets will be of my choosing. ? I must wear mascara. I prefer to have my whole face on, but if nothing […]
It boggles the mind that Ali is 19. When I met her, she was in 5th grade, and now she’s in college at Northwestern University. Whoa. I feel compelled to say “throws raisins” – that has stuck in my head since reading it on your blog years ago. 😉 A very happy birthday to you!
