Casting continues for the movie of my life. I realize I keep casting Josh’s family; I don’t know why they are so much easier to cast than my family and I promise I’ll cast my friends (Amythst Romero, you’re next.) and possibly my bosses. But today belongs to Josh’s other sister, Heidi. The family isContinue reading “Who Would Play You In A Movie? (3)”

Residency Update
Josh has now received two invites for residency interviews. 1. Lexington Kentucky 2. Ann Arbor Michigan It’s still quite early in the process and some (most?) programs don’t begin invites until after November 1. So, this is a good start it seems to me. Also, I’m still taking suggestions for nicknames to bestow on theContinue reading “Residency Update”
Overheard in the Marriage
Husband: All your clothes on the floor– Wife: I know, I know. I’m sorry I couldn’t be bothered today. Husband: Hm, so you’re saying I should leave the toilet seat up.
Who Would Play You In A Movie? (2)
Last week I decided to cast the roles of my friends and family in case Hollywood comes a callin’; I mean, they would totally want my opinion on who to cast, right? I started with my adorable husband.

And she is satisfied. This makes me want to have more children. Josh jokes that Eleanor and I areContinue reading “I’m not the Goalie; I’m the Net”
A Few Things About my Sister
Our family has this sort of odd legacy of sisters being best friends. My mom and her only sibling, her sister, were best friends. Then Amy and I grew up as best friends. Now my two girls are following suit. I’m really not sure how it started with my mom and her sister and I’mContinue reading “A Few Things About my Sister”

The First Day of School
I’ll be honest: I wait all summer for the first day of school. Trying to juggle working full time, a (hopeful) writing career, and a husband in Medical School is no picnic. The routine of the school year makes it all slightly more manageable. And I do mean only slightly, but beggars can’t be choosersContinue reading “The First Day of School”
