Relay for Life

My friend Melanie asked me to join her team for Relay for Life. This is a fundraiser for the fight on cancer. By participating, I am honoring cancer survivors, paying tribute to the lives we've lost to the disease and raising money to help fight it. Please if you would like to donate money visit my page at:

Happy New Year! 2008 edition

This year the mantra is going to be "keep it simple" I don't make resolutions because I am a very goal oriented person to begin with. I always have certain goals for myself but this year I am definitely centering goals around keeping things simple. I have found in the last year the second I would try and make things complicated that I wouldn't enjoy life very much. Plus life should be simple anyways! Cheers to all my loved ones and I can't wait for all the adventures of the upcoming year!

I am spoiled and I love it!

3 more days until I leave for San Diego. Because we are the spoiled grad students we are this is where The Fraizer lab and me (their adopted grad student) are staying
