This week will be killer busy at the lab, with a bunch of long experiments, a course assignment to be handed in, and some bioinformatics work to do. I feel even more pressured as everything needs to be done by Thursday afternoon which is when we leave to Boston for the 4-day weekend. Yay!   [...]

Mary Jo wrote a post a few days ago about granny bags being back in style. And oh boy did this bring back memories…   When I was about 4 or 5 my Grandma would come to our house to babysit me while my parents were at work and that my friends, was the jackpot [...]

D and I have just finished watching this amazing “Trash the dress” video. Although I am planning to keep my wedding dress for my future daughter or granddaughter, I must admit, this is AWESOME! The hotdog scene in particular   It was filmed by the amazing crew from Still Motion. So really, that says it [...]
