I remember livejournal. That's what I was thinking in Social Network when that guy was blogging about his bad date. It was a long time ago. That kid built an empire. I built a kid. I'm thinking about coming back to Livejournal mostly because I think nobody I know from Real World is here anymore. I remember it feeling good to get stuff off my ( Read more... )

Haven't been around for a while. News is I had a baby. I was in a serious live in relationship that went south. He is not the father. The father is the rebound fling. Dated about 4 times. He was distracting when I needed it. After trying so hard, IVF and 2 miscarriages I thought I couldn't get pregnant. Surprise!
So far so good, with the

According to LJ, I haven't been around for 42 weeks. My how time flies ( Read more... )

My mom told me a story I haven't heard before. How it came up on a mother's day phone call is difficult to explain, but the way our relationship has evolved, we were able to have a good laugh about it ( Read more... )

I was in the lunchroom at the hospital the other day. It's like high school. All the cool doctors sit together and talk about doctor things -- their kids' Ivy league/med school prospects, the stock market, how the democrats are plotting to destroy the world.

I've done a lot of dating in the last few years, since the last big breakup. It's not all bad. One thing I've noticed is that most guys have an anecdote in their back pocket that they use when the date is lagging, or when it's going well and they want to slug it home. I'm sure women have them too. I'm sure I have them. But I used them more when ( Read more... )

We have PA students where I work. I remember when I was a PA student, lo these two years ago, and I remember working my butt off. It's like being a serf. You just keep moving, do what you're told and do it quickly. I also spent a lot of time reading about whatever discipline I was rotating through. Where I went, in NY, they do a lot of " ( Read more... )

I was walking in the OR racetrack the other day and came up behind a young black man carrying a mop head. He was wearing his scrubs tied around his upper thighs so his butt was hanging out. I thought this was really funny because 1) scrubs are drawstring, huge pants. So it's not about the size, it's about where you choose to tie them. So this ( Read more... )

For LA trail people: First of all, I am happy to report that i found a running loop in griffith park that has eluded me for about a decade now. It's the trail up Bronson, the ex and I referred to it as the "Indian Jones trail" because there's a place you can grab a rope and swing across a river. But then you come to a wide long trail that goes ( Read more... )
