Dumb question

What are girls planning on wearing to the high school reunion? Dress, skirt or jeans? I have absolutely no idea how dressy to be.

Board Game Night 6/30?

Nat — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 22:33:35 -0600

Between being deathly ill last week and the ownership transfer, our house has fallen into a deep pit of filth. Plus, we need to start conducting interviews on Tuesday night. As such, we were wondering if anyone else would like to host board game night. At a minimum, we can't provide food or a clean house. Let us know what you think.

Board Game Night 6/9 CANCELED

Nat — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 23:02:55 -0600

We are going to have a stressful day at work tomorrow so we decided it's best to just cancel tomorrow night since we will be so cranky. But hopefully we'll see everyone next week! I think Adam will send out an email for those who don't read the blog, but please help spread the word.

The menu so far:

Sugar and nut glazed brie
Seven layer dip

There is dairy free and vegetarian friendly fare. If anyone has other diet requirements, just give me a heads up.

Per May's request, we have moved board game to Thursday to accommodate her busy schedule! If anyone needs our new address or directions just call or email us. Adam will be home all day and I get home at 5:30 (yea) so come by anytime. We will provide food to thank all the hard workers! Adam was very surprised and happy, so thanks again to everyone for helping me make my surprise move work!!! See you Thursday.

Board Game Night 12/2 UPDATE-- BACK ON

Nat — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 20:22:28 -0700

So, I'm actually happy to host, but Goldie has my board games and he doesn't get off until late. So if people have an alternate plan, I can host/attend. For now though, board game is canceled.

**UPDATE**
Peter has collected the board games, so board game night is back on.

Lollipops, lip balms and rectal rockets, oh my!

Nat — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 20:15:22 -0600

So,I've been in Houston this week for compounding training since I start my new job in a week.

The bad: I have to get up by 4:00 or 4:30 our time every morning for 10-12 hours of class. I'm in Texas. Due to the hurricane, instead of taking 10 minutes to get from the hotel to the center it takes 45 minutes because all the traffic lights are out. And lastly, when I'm around a lot of people with southern accents for too long I start to pick one up again, y'all.

The good: Compounding is so cool! I made my own pineapple lip balm and watermelon lollipops, in addition to a bunch of other stuff. I always knew I liked it, but this week really opened my eyes to just how much stuff compounders can do. It totally turns how I've thought about medicine on its head. We saw examples of how people who would normally need surgery or amputations have been healed by using combinations of medicines in a way that isn't commercially available. Or how cancer/hospice patients who can't swallow anything anymore can just rub on a cream to get their medicines. Or convincing kids to take their medicines because we can put them in a gummy bear form. Did I mention it's cool?

One more day, then it's on a plane home. I can't wait to see my kitties! Oh, and Adam, of course. ;)

And yes, there is such a thing as a rectal rocket and I even have a rubber mold of one to prove it.

Board Game Night 9/16

Nat — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 22:53:39 -0600

Since I have a week off, I'm planning on making dinner. I was thinking spaghetti with meatballs, salad and cupcakes. Does that sound okay? I want to make sure I cook enough, so let Adam or me know if you're coming.
