what i did this weekend (in no pArticular order):

• 6 syntheses
• finished bethany's pink bag. boo, kitchener stitch.
• finished a tank top out of rement from a sari that neetu bought for me in india that is WAY to big under the arms and i don't really know how to fix it now that i've put in a zipper and all.
• went to trader joe's and saw "The Namesake" with neetu
• watched a Monk marathon on USA
• watched a Law and Order marathon on USA
• made myself some very yummy delicious pav bhaji, enough to feed me all week.
• went to the fabric store for a sale
• finished about 1/4 of kati's poncho, then ripped it all out and started from scratch becuase i wanted to try it a bit differently.

in other news, masha has taken to peeing on me again in the wee hours of the morning (ok, more like 7 or 8 am, but its still freaking early for being peeed (sp?) on!) twice now since i got done with the dog sitting gig i had last week. boo.

lots to say, and even more time in wich to say it!

why all that time you ask? well, sort of all of the sudden tejas was offered and decided to accept an internship at google in the nyc office. he left saturday morning. so, basically its going to be a rather long and boring summer, but i will most likely be taking a handful of weekend trips to nyc to keep the both of us sane (which means i may get to see bethany and thomas some as well). other than that i guess i'll be getting in a lot of knitting and sewing and reading when i'm not hanging out in the lab. maybe i'll even pull out the quilt i started last summer and haven't touched in months. mostly i hope to get in a lot of lab time so i can try to have most of my experiments done before we have to move the labs in august. and to keep myself so busy that i don't start to mope around and end up watching too many sappy girly movies, eating lots of ice cream and crying to myself. that would suck.

The previous weekend, my sister and cousin both received doctorates (one of pharm. one of philosophy). too bad that up till the day before i was supposed to be in west palm for kris' hooding and graduation, i thought it was this last weekend. i found out the ugly truth just in time to get my flight switched to the next evening for the low cost of $490. My dad said he would pay for it, but i haven't seen the money yet and i don't have the heart to ask for it. The hooding ceremony was nice. kris got 2 awards for patient care and translating book knowledge to practice in her rotations. she still seems to have the amazing ability to find any excuse to NOT go to the gym, but i don't really know how to change that so i guess i can't.

ok, so i guess it wasn't really all that much to say. back to the microscope.
