Oh the escape

I just got back from Tucson, AZ and let me tell you..it was amazing. The warmth, the family, the food, the wonderful grandparents, the good times. The only draw back was that Chris was actually in Ohio interviewing. We were in quite the polar opposite all the long weekend. He was in record low temperatures for Columbus, OH. After not packing for such weather, Chris was forced to put on ALL of the garments he had brought. You heard me.

I, however, was in a blissful 74-80 degree temperature all weekend long. It was heaven. Then I realized I had to come back, and for a second thought, "hmm. Why don't we live in Tucson?" And then I remembered. The summers. Too hot to handle (at least for my whimpy self).

I had to come back to the usual freezation. Electric blankets. Slippers. Heated rice bags. Scraping my windshield, and forgetting to do it ahead of time, thus being late to work, oy.

However, I have realized, this week is going to be great. Mainly because....my favorite show of all time, LOST is coming back. Tomorrow night. Can't wait.

Call me crazy, but we even have a Lost action figure (not a doll.. no, no..). Hurley is one of our fave characters (along with Desmond, Charlie..I could go on). Thanks Kate and Neil for the sweet, sweet xmas present.

Anyone interested in having a Lost party, please, let's be friends. We like congregating with people who share a common obsession. It's a hobby.

Evidence.

Karlee, this is mainly for you ;). My friend Becca put out a quite hilarious post the other day, and anyone that doesn't believe I had a chubby phase should go to her blog. And no, that wasn't my chubbyness peak (thankfully we have hidden such documentation). If you don't want to be scared, or forever see me as grotesque, don't go to the link. haha. Good times.

It's an MP3 fiesta!!!

Me and Chris discovered this delightful site for downloading music. It has pretty much any song you're looking for at a fraction of the cost of iTunes. Songs are 20 cents and whole albums are around 2 dollars. You can't really beat that, unless you download illegally ;). How it works is you sign up and you load your account with at least 20 dollars (I think that's how they make their money). Then you can buy tons of songs and they're compatible with iTunes and your iPod or MP3 player. Click here to sign up. It's awesome . . .

Stark Contrast

Hello All!! I have seen some friends doing these right brain, left brain quizzes and thought it would be fun to have Chris and I both do one and publish the differences! As many of you know, Chris is the logical thinker, and I am the aesthetic/artsy one.

My results:

You Are 15% Left Brained, 85% Right Brained

The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning. Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others. If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic. Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet. The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility. Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way. If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art. Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports.

So, now here are Chris's results:

You Are 70% Left Brained, 30% Right Brained

The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning. Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others. If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic. Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet. The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility. Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way. If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art. Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports.

As you can see, we are pretty much opposites in our thinking...good thing opposites attract! Go here to do the quiz :)

Joe vs. the Yoga Ball

This is my brother's (Dave) dog, Joe. He's pretty much the coolest dog ever. He's really mild mannered pretty much all the time, but when you get out the yoga ball, he goes a little nuts. He's really fun to play with. As you can see, he's gotten pretty skilled.
Wow, I've gotten two posts in a row . . .

Gary Indiana..

(Well, Indianapolis, not Gary. Its just fun to say.)

Chris got his FIRST med school interview! Woo woooo. Its set for Oct. 8th. He'll be flying out on October 7th and will be in interviews all day on the 8th and 9th. I'm so proud of him! I told a friend that he was going to interview in Indianapolis, and he said he'd been there and that it was ugly.. Probably true, but hey, we take what we can get! Being a person that loves to be surrounded by green, I'm hoping some 'prettier' options are soon to come!
