Anniversary

It's been almost a YEAR since we moved to Delaware! We got here April 25. Humor yourself and read some of the posts from 2007...those back in early March when we checked out the area, and then again when we moved up here in April. One is linked, the others you'll have to be click the link to the right (2007), scroll down and hit "older posts."

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that we will be LEAVING Delaware for a weekend wedding on the very day we moved here.

Final Round

Ever notice that the final part of a big goal is the hardest to finish? Like trying to run those silly 5Ks, you get to mile 2, and it's by far the longest mile EVER?

That's where I'm at right now in school.

I think there are only 5 weeks left. May 30th. Counting down.

Desperately Wanting

Some Miami flavor.

The City

And definitely some of this. or maybe a cafecito from Versailles. Or Larios. Or David's on Lincoln Rd. And how about some fresh churros off a truck (please, try to roll the 'r'. it's NOT pronounced 'Sure-Ohs'). And real vaca frita. or ropa vieja. or arroz con pollo (although THAT I can make-thanks Traci!). flan would be nice, too. And rice pudding, with cinnamon. YUM!

Maybe in August? fingers crossed!

Drumroll...

Med Surg 2, Exam 2: 84%

This med surg nonsense is going to put me on a med surg floor. (that is, as a patient. it's killing me!)

Thrifted

This trip seems SO like it was so much longer than just two weeks ago.

The weekend was FULL of food. When I returned home, I felt, and looked 4 months pregnant.

We were the first people seated at my new favorite italian restaurant-it was 5pm...(I only had two mini-cupcakes for lunch). The name of the dish? can't remember, but it was egg noodles, shrimp, cabbage, and sheeps cheese. you're probably going, "EW" but honestly, it was delicious. I'm kind of craving it right now, in the middle of the afternoon.

Then we had tiramisu. and cappuccino. yum.

The next night's dinner was a pastrami on rye. PLUS a side of latkas, aka potato pancakes with apple sauce. Followed by a trip to Za.bars for rugalah. Yeah, it was gluttonous.

But the shopping! I wish I could say I did soho, S5A, BG, & HB, but the funds are low (one income + tuition) so we hit two of the better Goodwills in the city.

And I hit the jackpot.


Here's a picture of the find of 2008:

CHERRY RED 100% leather pants by THEORY in MY size!

(I should mention that I also have a pair of BLACK leather INC pants from a Goodwill in Charleston...but they were made for someone who is 6 ft tall)

I wish I could meet the previous owner and take a peek into their closet. and when she wasn't looking, I would put everything on and run out of her apartment.

True to my form, I wore them to the airport to pick up Ryan. very spiffy with sleek black tee and black ballet flats.

Other finds: Sisley (!) white crocheted top, D&G striped sweater (I saw D&G pink pants, too, but didn't get them), and black and white HIGH waisted and wide legged pants. I know skinny is in, but I hate skinny pants and feel like my butt is wider than a Chev-Suburban when in skinny pants.

Oh. And did I mention the red leather theory pants that fit me so well only cost $24? H&M, you have nothing on me!

Internet Shopping

I think I might need to order one of these...
