week 3 picture roundup!

This is so belated! But better late than never. Week 3 was a pretty normal week - cooking at home and working. I love cooking a huge batch of chili at the beginning of the week to bring to work for lunch/dinner =D And somehow, I don't get tired of it!

1/16 - This is the dining room light that is just the right height to bump Dong's head. He's gotten really good at dodging it!

1/17 - Looks a little unappetizing, but I love this chili! From a recipe that Viv received, passed through generations of health professions students!

1/18 - One of the few healthy things that I love to eat - cherry tomatoes!

1/19 - Kinect is here! Time to break out with Dance Central!!

1/20 - This makes me miss the rx peeps at Skaneateles. You pronounce that Skinny Atlas, fyi.

1/21 - Pretty sunrise over the 690E, while driving to work. The story of my life!

1/22 - The side dishes at Secret Garden, a Korean/Japanese restaurant in Syracuse.

Happy Year of the Rabbit!

新年快乐！

A little belated, but Chinese (Lunar) New Year was just this past week, on Feb 3rd. It's a time to get together with family to celebrate the new year with wishes for good luck and prosperity, so Dong and I both got vacation this week to go back to NYC. Unfortunately, I had to go into the New Year with a new wound:

my cast, darn it!

I had a 'non-displaced fracture' in my right wrist from snowboarding at Windham, so it definitely put a damper on the rest of my activities that week. But I got the cast off and now have a much more maneuverable (and removable) splint, so now I can shower without a plastic bag on my hand! Love the small pleasures of life!

However, the new year wasn't all bad - I found out that I got licensed, yay! But with great pay comes great responsibility... Another pleasure of life - receiving lai see, or hong bao:

Happy Year of the Rabbit!

And still doing the pic a day, to be updated!

week 2 picture roundup!

1/9 - a nice snowy dinner at Copper Top Tavern with Phil and Jess

1/10 - smelling the roses at Wegmans

1/11 - checking out the competition at Walgreens at N. Tonawanda!

1/12 - My plush digs at Super 8 on Niagara Falls Blvd

1/13 - I had to bunch up the curtains so the heater would blow hot air throughout the room... instead of just at the curtains.

1/14 - lovely sky while driving back to Syracuse to my honey

1/15 - cross stitch finally taking shape!

week 1 picture roundup!

Part of my New Year's resolution - to take at least 1 picture a day!

1/2/11 - the 2nd day of the new year and settling into some routines. Knitting, studying, etc! 

1/3/11 - Monday before the exam. Spent the day doing some last minute studying, then driving down to Buffalo to stay over at the Red Roof Inn.

1/4/11 - After the end of the written part of the compounding exam, I developed a deep and abiding hunger for Chipotle's fajita bowl. YUM.

1/5/11 - Day of the lab portion of the exam! A shot of Cooke Hall in the early morning.

1/6/11 - Back in Syracuse and starting a full day of work.

1/7/11 - Driving on the thruway can be sorta scenic.... sorta sometimes! 

1/8/11 - I have the best hubby ever! Got me a new lens with a hood and all other sorts of goodies. LOVE!

troubles in threes?

I remember reading that trouble comes in groups of threes... so far:

1. Took compounding exam on Tues and Weds

2. Lost credit card

3. Overdrawn on debit account

Please tell me this isn't so! Ugh.

Half of the Battle...

Actually, technically 40% of the battle. The written portion of the Part III exam was today, and I hope that I comported myself decently... although I already know that I got one of the error and omissions things wrong! Oh well... must not obsess...

I'm in Buffalo now, which was pleasantly snowless when I was driving in but has apparently decided to steadily flutter down snow since last night. Ah, good ole Buffalo and the lake effect, friends forever! And now the slow-sucking mild studying for the compounding part... gotta remind myself not to blow this one!

I thought that while I was away I could update my blog with the pics I was taking each day but then I forgot to bring my card reader, teehee. But at least one resolution has not been broken yet! And working hard on the other two =D

welcome to 1/1/11~!

New day of the new year! And the start of a resolution - first pic posted of the year:

An exciting day of study, peppered with  cross-stitch and Lifetime movies. Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and the surprisingly watchable Maneater starring Sarah Chalke (of Scrubs fame!). Maybe I should make another resolution - cut down on Lifetime!
