If you want to get me a birthday gift...

So... my 20th birthday is on Sunday. While I'm excited to party it up second decade style, I have to admit that I'm a bit heartbroken to no longer be considered a teen. What will I become? A twenty-something? It needs a better name. I don't want to be a grown up yet.

But I do want a clear umbrella. I've always thought they were super cool. So if you really want to get me a birthday gift...clear umbrella. You know, so i can stay dry and stargaze all at the same time.

Always Prepared

One thing I've noticed is that all elderly people seem keep binoculars in their cars.
I guess it's just in case a
Western Snowy Plover flies by or you need to do some recon on your neighbors.

I'm just waiting for the day when I need to see the far-away helicopter and an old couple comes to the rescue with their secret binocular stash in the trunk of their Buick.

My Husband

I'd like to introduce everyone to my new hubby.

He's cute, funny, a med student, and he knows glycolysis.
skip to 2:30 for the wicked awesome song.

what more could I want?
obviously all this biochem studying has gotten to me.


I wonder if he likes cats?

teenie tiny veggies

I knew it.

Recently I was dining in a Chinese restaurant with a group of friends (okay, so it may have been Korean. But it was in Chinatown so that should count as Chinese.) and my dish (seafood something?) had baby corn.

"Does baby corn just grow on tiny corn stalks?" I asked.

"I don't even think it's really corn." replied one of my roommates.

"What is it then?" I said with uncertainty.

"I don't know. Some other sort of vegetable."

Were there tiny fields of baby corn growing somewhere in the world? Or some other sort of veggie that simply looked like corn?
