I am drowning my sorrows in a bowl full of kid's cereal - Cookie Crisp, dinner of champions. I could have easily made a case for eating cookies for dinner, but at least this way I can pretend to have eaten real food.What I'd like to know is... read entire post

I wonder how he does it sometimes, my little yoda. He called me at 2:15 am last night. It's ok, me and my chattering thoughts were wide awake."Do not become your doubts," he said quietly.

Damned this mind of mine - always churning thoughts when it is supposed to be quiet! I am so tired - a well earned fatigue from having fun, thank God. I walked all over the place yesterday. It nearly hit 70 degrees here, and I took full a... read entire post

My mother has given me an amazing gift. What a wonderful surprise it was to open this big box and find all kinds of treasures. She has taken pieces of the Armadillo's clothing and made new shirts, etc., for me.Right now, I am wearing a den... read entire post

Well, SC - I am teetering on the brink. It seems like I should be a lot more upset than I actually am, but I am taking consolation in the knowledge that I have done the absolute best that I could. Also, there's still a chance I can achieve the grades... read entire post

What can I say? I used to dance all the time in the lab back in NY. I would dance in the clinic, and during my lectures, my students and I would take dance breaks. I have a thing for cheesey 70s disco music and, of course, salsa, so there I was, doing... read entire post
