  Ovarian metaphor

  11.20.08 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  Today in lab there was a little mention of the ovary’s layers in the histology syllabus. It said they were ill-defined and arbitrary. Perfect, really. Right there in the syllabus is exactly what I’ve been saying histology is for me. Actually, those two words could not be more apropos for how [...]

  It’s you!

  Zoe now says short sentences. The other day, she said, “Look, look! It’s Whyatt!” (Whyatt is a character from one of her favorite shows, Super Why.) My favorite exchange we have is when we greet each other and she says, “It’s you! Awwwww…” and gives me a BIG hug. She’ll [...]

  A (minimal) loss

  Well it was bound to happen sooner or later… I have broken a nail. Torn, rather. My pinkie one.
  This will be brief. I have to go study. Specifically, I need to leave the area of the LRC in which I am sitting because I have no clue what the people [...]

  Just a run-down of today; little else

  It occurred to me tonight watching Sesame Street online how similar SNL and shows of its ilk are to children’s shows. Plenty of variety, short segments, outlandish and improbable scenarios… No wonder they’re so entertaining.
  Speaking of entertaining, I had my check-up ultrasounds this morning. When the very nice tech had done her [...]

  Tutoring

  Last week I had a much-needed diversion from the sciences when I went to an ultrasound workshop. We practiced on each other and became familiar with ultrasound basics. It was pretty exciting, and it reinforced the importance of the anatomy we’re learning. Good show, Family Medicine Student Association. What a great [...]

  In the summer between my freshman and sophomore years of college, I went back to Garland and found work as a temp. I had a few good assignments, and I rather enjoyed my job. It was great pay for the effort.
  One of my favorite assignments was at CapRock Communications. I’m not sure [...]

  Welcome

  A very happy birthday to my good friend, lovely, smart and funny Rachel (or as Zoe calls her, Ray Chow)! May you have a wonderful year of honor grades, bearded-men viewing, Diet Coke, happy-making music, soccer, ice cream and caramel. I’ll induct you into the Old Lady Club whenever you’re ready. We [...]

  Maybe a little heavy for a late post, but…

  So I’m kind of on a different 24-hour schedule. Can I still play NaBloPoMo?
  There has been no other vomit since last night. Zoe was her usual charming self, even playing peekaboo with our interviewee guest this evening. I spent a whole 10 minutes at the interview social tonight when I went to [...]

  Please excuse my tardy and brief post tonight. We were just helping Zoe wind down for the night when she vomited out of nowhere. Twice. She was quite upset to have soiled some clothes. I’m hoping it’s just an isolated incident caused by too greasy a dinner of pizza (forgive me), [...]

  Product Review: Market Pantry Cheese Squares

  11.11.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  Due to the unavailability of Cheez-It during Joel’s most recent trip to Target, he took a gamble on an unknown box. Target’s own brands rarely disappoint us. Archer Farms is good, and their line of Market Pantry products is generally reliable and less expensive. (Nothing beats HEB for store-brand quality, however.) [...]
