Wordless Wednesday: Sometimes You Have to Relax

Wordless Wednesday

Because Three Consecutive Hours of Sleep is Way Too Many....Meet Zoe!

Project 365

In 2008 I did Project 365...and I loved it. I have had most of that year put into various coffee table books, and I just love being able to look back over the year and remember things.

I started off doing it in 2009, but couldn't quite seem to keep up. So I quit about halfway through and just forgot about it.

This year Cara has been doing her project 365, and it has reminded me how much I miss doing it. Even if I don't get it all put together right away, I really want to be able to look back and remember what these days are like -- especially since I can hardly remember how the day started once it's over!

So, even though it's March, I'm starting again. A week at a time, so even if I miss a day it shouldn't be too obvious...

Cara -- thank you a million times over for inspiring me to get back into the project 365 game...and for telling me how to do those fantastic collages! You're the best!

In Which I Beg For Opinions

I am not particularly known for my decision making skills. I know, I know - somewhat shocking, and yet, somewhat not. I can make big decisions at the drop of a hat. Decisions about patients and work? In a split second. But everyday choices? You'd think I never made a choice in my life!

So, dear friends, here are the things I am currently in desperate need of your assistance with:

1. Embroidery Machines
I've always wanted one. Why? No idea. Probably because I need another hobby like I need a hole in my head, but whatever. So what say you, interwebs? Worth it to get a combo embroidery/sewing machine? Or is machine embroidery terribly difficult and likely to force me to tear my hair out? Please keep in mind, while bald may be beautiful, it won't be a good look for me.


2. Speedlights
Clearly I want one simply because I don't have one. And because I love my camera. And because you never know when I flash might come in handy (and I refuse to use the built in one). So, what does everyone know about speedlights? Or should I stick to just keeping the aperature wide open learn to hold my damn hands more still?

3. Mac vs. PC
The time is coming in which I will need a new computer. Mine still runs just fine, but the memory is just about full. I keep pulling things off (I have an external drive too) but I never seem to free up much space. And I need more battery life -- even fully charged, I can usually only get about 90 minutes of use before I have to plug in or the whole thing shuts down. So, which is better - Mac or PC? I've always had a PC, but now that I've discovered that you can install windows on a Mac and use a bridge program to run PC based things like my versions of lightroom and photoshop, I am open to the idea of a Mac. I think...


Alright -- on your mark, get set, tell me what to do!

Spring Break!

This week was spring break. I know, I know, it's crazy early in the year still a little chilly for such an event, but I will take a break any way I can get it frigid ass temperatures cold weather or not.

Many of my classmates set off to places that are warm to relax and forget about the hell that is the first year of medical school the stress of school.

I went off to this place:

Why YES, keen observer, that IS a hospital. I spent my break working. And I was excited about having a few days off too, but I ended up spending those at work as well. But don't feel sorry for me -- I was scheduled to have three days off. I am just a total sucker a glutton for punishment, so I spent some extra time in the land of babies.


I even tried not to complain about it. After all, I am awfully lucky to work there, because I have the most AMAZING coworkers. The shifts are sometimes long and the work is sometimes hard, but there isn't a group I would rather spend my time with.

I mean really, who wouldn't want to spend night after night after $%(*&$ night as much quality time with these girls as possible?

A Little Slice of Heaven

This is my bed. Which I exited early on Monday morning. And am now blissfully tucking myself into. On Wednesday night.

(Don't feel totally sorry for me, I took two 90 minute naps today)

But still - there is something so fantastic about crawling into bed and closing your eyes. Especially when you can sleep as late as you want the next morning.

Oh spring break, you are an aspect of school that NEVER gets old!
