If you’ve been around me more than, say, a couple hours total, you’d be familiar with the fact that if I’m not actively paying attention to where I’m going, I’m highly likely to run into anything and everything. Door frames, door knobs, fridge handles, people, counters, whatever. Now I know why! Research has shown that [...]
I’ve injured my elbow by crocheting. That may be the wimpiest injury I’ve ever had. I think I’ll go find some ibuprofen and suffer quietly now…
Evan and I promptly began dissecting Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 as soon as we got to the car last night on our way home from the theater. What worked, what didn’t work, my thoughts on the composer’s effects on the mood of the film, etc. I now have a desire to [...]
In a few short hours, Evan and I will be watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 with Anna and Michelle. I wore my Ravenclaw scarf all day today, and am now putting the finishing touches on the matching hat! The only thing that would make this better is a nice, big mug [...]
For those of you I haven’t gushed about my trip to in person, here’s the quick and dirty. It. Was. Awesome! We flew to Orlando on Friday (Jasmine and I were both post-call) and witnessed Michelle throwing out her back in the airport. We arrived at the hotel, bemoaned being ready to go to the [...]
We all ate and drank way more than we should in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, but it was so worth it. Butterbeer is amazing! Pictures coming when we get home
After a long and arduous day, we’ve finally arrived at our hotel. We were starving and tired, so we ordered some good ol’ Pizza Hut for our first meal here. Next, we’re just going to rest up for a pretty busy day a Universal Studios (and Harry Potter World). In preparation for her 21st birthday, [...]
We’re heading to the airport in 13 hours and I’m so excited! Orlando, here we come!
I typically just wing it when working on hats, scarves, and blankets, but while looking around online to figure out how to crochet a slouchy hat for Michelle, I stumbled across a very cute pattern that I’ve decided I have to try out for myself. If this turns out well, I may be making quite [...]
We fly out for Orlando Friday afternoon (aka about as immediately post-call as possible with enough time to do some last-minute packing and to drop the dog off) and arrive Friday evening. Saturday, when it’s expected to be cold and dreary here, Evan, Jasmine, my sisters, Bryan, and I will be busy enjoying beautiful, mid-70s, [...]
Evan’s been trying to tell me for ages that we should sell my car and get a new 370z during my year as a real doctor in between residency and fellowship. I kept turning it down, telling him I’d feel guilty buying a new car when we still have student loans hanging over us, blah [...]
I’ve worn scarves two days in a row now, which means I’ll start making all the ones I owe people still from last winter very soon! I just need to finish up the ones for our Harry Potter trip first
Mom made my Halloween costume and I can’t wait to wear it tomorrow. Pictures to come, I promise
Cloak – check. Boots – check. Robe – (almost) check. Lightsaber – check. May the force be with you.
Since Peter Jackson announced Martin Freeman would be Bilbo Baggins in the upcoming movies based on The Hobbit, I’ve been eagerly taking in every little piece of news I can find and I am already so, so excited for when the movies come out. I’ve started rereading the book, I’m wondering if I can pull [...]
