Drowning in Doritos
I had a great birthday a few weeks ago. Robert surprised me with dinner at Monteray Bay, a really nice fish restaurant over in Mt. Washington (on top of the hill overlooking the city). We didn't want to wait another 30-60 minutes for a table next to the window view, but the food was delicious anyway! I had Walu Escolar, parmasan style- soooo good ( Read more... ) -
Is it time to go home yet?
I remember the days when people dressed up to go to the theater and left their food and drink in the lobby. Now people looked like they've just rolled out of bed and apparently food/drink is allowed in the theater now. I really don't like listening to people crack their plastic water bottles and rustle their mini pretzel bags when I'm trying to ( Read more... ) -
This is what I get for doing something daring.
About a month ago I submitted an abstract to be considered for a student speaker slot for the BGSA Symposium (basically for our umbrella program at Pitt). Basically, I did this just to my name out there, feel brave, and make myself look good to Sandro (look at me! I'm getting involved!). I did not, however, really want to actually be selected to ( Read more... ) -
Does this mean I'm not as wise anymore?
Last Friday I had my 4 impacted wisdom teeth out. It wasn't horrible. Friday night I felt like a million bucks, but then Saturday the swelling started and then Sunday the pain set in. I took Monday and Tuesday off and went back today. It was ok, but hard to think whenever my jaw started to hurt. I'd tried 'real' food here and there, but mostly it ( Read more... ) -
What a rainy Labor Day.
Two weeks ago we went home to Cincy. We got to check KI once again (it's been about two years for us) and had a good time, even if it was a Saturday and it was a little more crowded than we'd like. Riding Diamondback makes up for it. :) Later on I also got to have dinner with Ashley W. I hadn't realized that we hadn't gotten together since before ( Read more... ) -
What a weird day.
This morning we had some nasty lightning storms roll through. Nothing apocolyptic, but some pretty cool lightning. It was funny to watch how fast the landscapers could mow the grass from our perch on the 13th floor. Man, they were bookin' it! There was also a water main break on Forbes in Oakland. Our power kept flickering in the morning, but ( Read more... ) -
Everything and then some.
I am certainly wretched at updating this thing lately. :( It's not like I'm uber busy, or have zero things to say... I'm just lazy. Argh. In no particular order ( Read more... ) -
Happy cancelled lab meeting day!
Yesterday I went to a UPMC orthopedic and found out that my heel pain is basically some tendinitis where my achilles inserts/attaches to the calcaneous. It feels good to finally know what's wrong! I also have a predisposition to this condition as well as bone spurs (of which I have a teeny tiny one) due to this Haglund's deformity I have in my ( Read more... ) -
Happy 4th of July!
This has been a good weekend so far. LeeAnne and James were in Cleveland visiting, so Robert and I drove up on Saturday and met them at the GoodTime ship and did a little 2 hour cruise. It was great to see her again and to finally meet James, who was actually very nice and lot better than the vision I had of him when they first started to date! ( Read more... )
