• what a day. well, it pretty much started last night with a whirlwind dash home to put on my pinstripe dress pants and black patent heels, and run in to taco bell with jon and julie where we ordered food and registered to vote (long story), and drive 45 minutes on the turnpike to the wake for amy's poppy. this has been a rough semester for her. as i told her mom, "we need to stop meeting like this..." amy seemed to be in fairly good spirits though, and we employed our new favourite distraction technique of all-dressed-up-after-a-viewing bowling. then there was the stop into eat'n'park because julie had never been there before (?!), where our waitress gave us a whole box of heart smiley cookies for free and amy drew an impressive picture of pandas frolicking on a beach. then back to duquesne, where blair and i read people magazines and watched to catch a predator and i fell asleep on her futon.

  now i'm back at the library, fortified by a toffee nut latte and determined to gather as much information as possible on 4-month-old well baby checkups before starting to document the examination i would perform. did you know that babies get 5 vaccines at both their 2-month and 4-month visits? poor little guys. (and they could potentially get 9 at their 15 month appointment!) in the middle of researching when parents should start to introduce solid foods, nick's mom called to ask if i wanted to go to the beach with them this summer. so sweet! we had a lovely conversation about diabetic foot ulcers (i love that she's a nurse!) and i promised to let her know when i know the exact dates of our summer break. looks like we'll have most of july off at this point.

  and elizabeth just called to say there's a festival of praise in ohio tonight (affectionately known as a fop) so i may join that crew instead of studying the rest of the night. my soul needs it.

  can't believe january is already slipping away...
