Kyllan will be in Denver this weekend. As usual, we plan to see a movie while she is town. There will be a few good choices in theaters, but nothing that really jumps out at us. Help us decide on which movie we will see this weekend.

Well… obviously this week has been very exciting for me, and to top it all off, I celebrated my 10 Year High School Reunion this weekend! Wow… 10 years! The time has gone by very fast. Most of my classmates look the same (just more mature). No one was unrecognizable. About 40 out of the 97 other people who I graduated with came to the reunion, so it was great to see many people who I had not seen since graduation. The school has changed so much since we left. I went to an all girls private school, Hockaday, and it was always a step above the rest, but now…. it is incomprehensible how nice it is . The amenities and technology our first rate…better than some college campuses. I had the honor of sitting on a panel of 10 Year Reunion women who spoke to the senior class on what to expect after graduation from college. It was interesting how most of us on the panel had gone in a completely different direction than we had thought on June 6, 1998 (commencement). However, we were all pleased with where we were and our many successes. We were asked to talk about what Hockaday did not prepare us for. Two of the panelists were expecting their first child, which they explained was one thing Hockaday did not prepare them for. We were also asked to give career tips, which led to everyone discussing the importance of networking. At our reunion gathering Saturday night, we had a chance to look at a questionnaire we filled out during our senior year…”where will I be in 2008?” Here were my responses:
What will you be doing: Completing my 2nd year of residency (I wanted to be a pediatrician)
What will be your greatest accomplishment: Being a doctor
Will you be married: Yes
Will you have kids: Maybe If so, how many: 1
What will have changed most in the world in 10 years: more world peace (wow… was I in a beauty pageant?)
Who will still be famous: Tom Cruise, Cuba Gooding Jr., LeAnn Rimes
Below is a picture of me with the 7 other African American girls who I graduated with. At the time, this was the largest class of African American girls to ever graduate from Hockaday. The second picture is the from the day we “officially became seniors”, otherwise known as “Ring Day 1997”. I have posted more pictures on my Flickr page.
As many of you already know, I joined Kyllan and her family on Tuesday/ Wednesday for a very unique and amazing experience. The story is going to be told by a 3rd party this Friday. Friends and Family please call or E-mail so that we can share the details.
Has anyone seen any good movies lately? I have dreams of eventually having a few minutes away from the lab and would like to catch one.
To say work has been busy would be a serious understatement. Most days when I get home, I simply want to veg out on the couch (or in my case… the oversized chaise lounge in our family room is my favorite “veg out” spot). Most times I look for light-hearted comedy or something I don’t have to think about to much after a full day of analyzing things. One of my favorite shows to watch and what I consider to be the best show ever to come on television is the Cosby Show. One day, I noticed that You Tube had clips from several of my favorite episodes. There are two episodes that I really consider to be my all time favorites that make me laugh so hard that I cry. One is the Gordon Gartrell episode where Denise tries to re-create a designer shirt for Theo. The other is the episode I like to call “eh mon!” where one of Denise’s dates really gets into the reggae song on tv. Click on the links to enjoy for yourself. I promise it will make you laugh and make you temporarily forget about your long day. I love the Cosby Show!! 🙂
Another boring week. It looks like it is going to be a pretty boring weekend too. For some strange reason it is still snowing in Denver. I can’t wait to move someplace sunny. 
Let their be no question, my parents and I have been cheering for Memphis State The University of Memphis since day one of the tournament. I’m not sure what games the commentators were watching, but I saw the Tigers whoop some butt on Saturday. That’s right everybody, the team predicted to be the first #1 seed to be eliminated from the tournament are one game away form a national championship!
I should have posted this earlier, but did not think of it. A few weeks ago my father’s computer got infected with a virus. It appears that the virus is now trying to e-mail itself to everyone in his address book. If you communicate with my father via e-mail, please be on the lookout. The message appears to be from him and the subject says something about “you’ve been tagged.” The body of the e-mail claims that he is trying to get you to join him on a social networking site. This e-mail is not from my father, is not from a social networking site and should be immediately deleted. Do not follow any of the links in the e-mail or download any files attached.

Today I am wishing a happy birthday to my wonderful husband. I was searching for a picture of him to post and decided to post a picture of him when he was younger. I think this is such a cute picture!
So if you have not heard or seen, William and I were featured in the March 24th issue of Jet Magazine! Many people have asked why it was not a picture from the wedding day. The picture was actually taken at the reception William’s parents hosted for us in Jacksonville, FL in December. The photographer from the reception submitted the photo to Jet and they published it. My name was spelled wrong and they had the wrong information about our Honeymoon (we went to Turks and Caicos, not a Carribean Cruise), but we were just excited that we were even featured. For those who were unable to see it, see below.
