Dad's Day

Father's day is a particularly difficult day in our household, but nevertheless we are wishing all the dad's out there a happy day. We lost Rob's father two years ago this August, and I grew up largely without a father in my life so instead, we are celebrating Rob being a dad to our little MJ.

This morning I cooked a breakfast feast for the two of us and the smell of frying bacon reminded me of summer mornings spent at my Nana's sitting on the sun porch while my Granddad manned the kitchen. Even though I haven't had the strongest male presence in my life, I am so thankful for Rob and the man that he is now and will be to our future children. I see the way he acts with his niece and how he treats the women in his life and I know that he will provide that special bond between a father and a child that mom's can't seem to compete with.

 I hope everyone takes some times today to cherish the memories of their father figures or share some special moments with them today. Cheers dad's!

Hi There

You guys, I know I have been soooo negligent. I feel bad. Truly I am such a boring soul right now though. The good news is that I am just moments away from submitting my medical school applications which means I will be back to my semi-regular posting soon!

Here is a picture of what my days consist of when I am not studying, working, or applying. Also I want you to know MJ is alive and well!

Also, today I found out through missingmoney.com that I have a paycheck from 4 years ago waiting for me to collect - cha-ching! $$

I'm alive

Sorry for the blogging hiatus! I've been busy and haven't remembered to keep true to my loyal (3) followers! I've been doing a lot of studying since, unfortunately for me, I didn't do as well on my MCAT as I'd hoped and opted to take it again (major bummer) and I am in the middle of putting the finishing touches on my med school applications (even major-er bummer). Currently I am sitting in the library checking out the male anatomy - in a textbook alas.

On the upswing, it is nice out today and hopefully after some more studious behavior I will reward myself with some pool time and a skinnygirl pina colada. I am addicted to that drink, it is just too good!
I will try not to forget you all in my absence, but bear with me for my life is truly uninteresting right now.

I do have some big news to share, however! Yesterday I scheduled my breast reduction/lift!! This may not be exciting to you, but honestly I am so over the moon! For years I've struggled with the burdens of big boobies, and some of you may say big boobs are no burden, but let me tell you....they are. I ballooned out in eight grade and my lady lumps haven't stopped growing since, ugh! Soon I will be able to go into a store and have a dress fit the same in the waist and the bust, and not have to search out every flowy/empire waist garment to reinforce the fact that yes, I DO have a waistline. And the bikinis, oh the bikinis! I will no longer have to special order them and pay gazillions of dollars! As you can see I am really excited. It's happening in July, and it can't come soon enough.

That's all I've got for you for now. I'll try to keep up to date with some interesting (or at least not absent) content. Have a good weekend!
