pictures from friends...

this is a picture my friend took in africa. yes, it is an ad telling you to wear it! "it," being a c.o.ndom... hilarious, huh? i wonder how effective this type of ad is...

this is k.arahi at r.avi's k.abob in arl.ington! we love this place! i want to get more this weekend....i've tried chicken and lamb. kabob is next on the list...

ji vs. pooh (part 2)

and it's the final takedown! ji wins! (poor pooh)

this is ji showing his REAL moves....

pretty bad a**, huh? :) yeah, that's my husband-to-be... ;)

mt.vernon

mt.vernon - the home of george&martha.washington

it definitely pales in comparison, but in some small ways, mount.vernon reminds me of shelburne.farms. oh, how i miss SF (one of my favorite places in the world). at least i have an annual pass to mt.vernon so i can explore more next time. perhaps next time i can arrive by boat. ;)

fall foliage

although i'm sure fall foliage is long gone up in vt, we are starting to peak down here. it's absolutely beautiful! yesterday, all the residents in my program took the day off (our attendings had to cover the entire pediatric service for us in the hospital while we were away) to "retreat" and bond. it was fun. i wish i had brought my manual camera along... (i can't take credit for the last photo. my friend took that one.)

jimmy.eat world!

love the shirt! ;)

since then...

a lot has happened since i last posted:
1) i turned a year older. yes, the big 2-8!
2) i did my first suprabupic tap on a baby (inserted a needle in the bladder to get a urine specimen. sounds brutal, but it's much less traumatic than a catheter)
3) received our first wedding gifts (even though we're getting married in almost 6 months!)
4) went to a jimmy eat.world concert
5) got an annual pass to mount vernon
6) drove at night for the first time wearing my new glasses (weird, but so much clearer...)
