The March of Penguins

So today I watched the movie March of Penguins. Honestly I did not know what to expect. But as I watched I was in a constant state of amazement. It is truely wonderful what animals can do! I can't even describe this movie in words; it has left me speechless and few movies have done this. What was even more shocking is what the film crew had to go through to film this beautiful movie. This was truely an eye opening film. Everyone should go see this movie!!!!

Christmas Day

So christmas was a blast. The family and I went over to my Aunt Nancy and Uncle Stanley's house to celebrate christmas. We got to take the sailboat out for a little bit and enjoy the beautiful day! The water was calm and it was about 70 and sunny. I couldn't ask for a better day to go out on the boat. Everyone I talked to was saying how it was cold and snowy...I did feel a little guilty for having such a warm day for christmas....florida is slowly becoming my Christmas place:)

Concerts a plenty

Ultra musicfest spring break!!!!! oh I cannot wait for the spring to come:) nothing like music music music to make me happy....oh i'm on cloud 9 right now!!!!!!!!! the past 3wks have been amazing.....

Today's thoughts of the day...

1. I hate being sick (but who actually likes being sick)
2. Cats love christmas wrapping paper and ribbon
3. I think snow would look great with palm trees


that is all for now:)

Sex and the City

so I finally saw the last 3 episodes of Sex and the City...and unfortunatly it got me thinking....what is it about these shows that gets to us women?....is it the fact that it touches the hopeless romantic in all of us? and puts this "prince charming will come around and sweep you off your feet" scenerio in our head? or is it all true....can this actually happen? oh what we do for cute boys:) Thankgoodness for wonderful girlfriends or us women would truely be crazy:)

for now I am going to go cook dinner with Ben and enjoy a glass of wine and cheesy action movie:)

Less then 24hrs....

my first semester of grad school will be over in less then 24hrs!!!!!! It has been a very trying but wonderful semester....I have met some of the greatest people and we've shared many trials and tribulations together...nothing like stress and some drinking for bonding time:) I can't believe it is almost christmas!!!! In florida it looks as if we are stuck in the month of september..not that its a bad thing:) I am looking foward to my wonderfully long vacation....perhaps I can read a book that doesn't have anything to do with science....then in the spring I start playing soccer in the city league with fellow IDP'ers.....ALMOST DONE!!!!

Data Bitches!!!

so I decided to post some pics of my recent data from my rotation lab...these are colon cells (blue) double-labeled with IB4 which is a marker for small diameter unmyelnated sensory afferants....
