Not too shabby, tabby. 🙂 Great for a Monday!
I sure do. A big silver “K” and two tiny stuffed creatures — one’s a ghost with a clover coming out of his butt, and the other’s a lemur wearing a green t-shirt.
Sprawl out on the couch with a good book.
My wedding ring and a silver Tiffany bracelet.
I’d like to work as a fashion photographer or photojournalist, but at this point in my life both ideas seem kinda far-fetched…
I’m guessing you know my answer to this one already…
Yes, but only when I’m wearing contacts. I’m not a big fan of prescription sunglasses.
Mostly at night unless I exercise early in the day.
Tea, moisturizer and my boys (El Hub and Tabs)… Oops! I guess that’s actually four things.
Stay mindful of the time I spend on tasks, try to eat extra servings of fruits and veggies (fiber is your BFF!), prepare at least one vegan meal, and remember to smile.
Guess what? After spending most of last weekend either ignoring or biting me, Tabs has again deemed me worthy of his presence. Shocking, I know. He’s in my lap, purring up a storm and chirping contented little meows. We’ll see how long it lasts, heh.

Nope! I always wanted to start one, but I would never do it just to write about my average day to day life. I might when I start this one-year post-bachelors program geared towards med school in January. I feel like that would be a year worth documenting… and I would totally be open to using my life as a resource for other non-traditional med students (like me, people who didn’t spend their entire lives dreaming of being a doctor and got degrees in non-medical fields). And maybe I’ll throw in some articles on being pretty and fashionable while pulling all nighters and shadowing doctors!

Usually. I have a few go-to pairs that go with everything, so that I’ll remember to throw them on.

My blog is called mnemosyne at http://yukaeshi.drachedja.net
It’s basically about everything under the sun that I can think of, really. I really want to start a makeup/skincare blog (Did once a year or so back, but support has been less than sterling so I closed it) so I don’t clutter my personal blog with girly stuff… It takes a lot of self-control not to write about makeup/skincare all the time really!

I sympathize with the epilepsy. My son had the 2nd worst seizure in his 9 little years just this past Friday.
Michelle
I should–by all means–be used to being on seizure medicine and seizures. I’ve had both since I was 4 months old. I used to have a lot of seizures as a child. I only have seizures about once every five or six years because every once and a while the electrical current that runs through the brain hits my dead zone (it’s technically a lesion, but I call it the Dead Zone). I was in and out of the hospitals as a kid whether if it were a seizure, getting my blood drawn, EEGs, EKGs, etc; as a result, I don’t like hospitals much.
I hope you find what causes your son’s Epilepsy. My mom said it’s probably the one relief she had; that nice little lesion caused a lot of problems. It’s basically been blamed for my Cerebral Palsy, Autism and Epilepsy.
Thanks Kate. What’s interesting is after all of the EEGs, MRIs and other tests, my so’s brain looks completely normal! The doctors can’t figure out why he has cerebral palsy or epilepsy.
We did catch the seizures at the last EEG. They are starting from his right front temporal lobe. However, we still don’t know why. Next step is genetic testing. So frustrating.
What meds are you on? My son is currently taking Depakote and Tripleptal (rather unsuccessfully).
Ok, we are way off topic here LOL. Feel free to email me on my site if you want to chat further.
Michelle
I have that same ghost-bunny keychain but mine is sitting on a shelf with a million other little toys and trinkets. 😉

5. What’s one thing you recently realized about yourself? That I am unable to resist carbs no matter how much I try to diet. And that time goes by way more quickly than I’d like. I feel like I jumped from 25 to 32 overnight.
6. Do you have a website or blog? If you do, please share its name with me, the address and what topics it covers. Yes, hehe. I somewhat new to blogging (I had an early adopter live journal account, but I don’t think that counts). My blog: Lovely Android at http://lovelyandroid.wordpress.com

Karen, I’m so psyched that you’ve resolved to make a vegan dish this week! I love when people explore vegan eating! Do you have a dish in mind? In case you don’t, here are two awesome recipes you can make with stuff you can buy at the supermarket:
1. Super-Easy Cherry Tomato Pasta (needs an oven, so better for a gloomy/cold day or maybe the fall/winter)
Preheat your oven to 400F and put two small containers of cherry/grape tomatoes into a glass lasagna pan (wash them first). Add 1-2 Tablespoons of olive oil and 2-3 cloves of crushed fresh (has to be fresh!) garlic. Add 1/4-1/2 cup of chopped fresh basil and some salt and pepper. Bake until all of the tomatoes have broken open and serve over your favourite pasta. I also like to add steamed broccoli or a salad for some extra veggies.
2. Tomato Sandwiches with Guacamole or Hummous (Great for lunch)
Toast two pieces of bread. Spread with as much Hummous or Guacamole as you can fit on the bread (store bought or home made). Chop one tomato into small pieces and use it as sandwich filling. Add salad or some other veggies if you want.
Hope you love whatever you end up making! Let me know how it goes!
