I am a wife, mama, pediatrician and all-around renaissance woman, if that includes an unhealthy addiction to carbs and J. Crew and a penchant for sarcasm.DISCLAIMER: This website is not to be used in lieu of official advice from your health care provider. As always, consult your doctor before making any changes. And if you decide to sue me, get in line behind the federal government, my student loan provider and my mortgage lender. They were there first.
And I never had braces. Yes. Hate me now. Picture? From my sister's wedding and I look like this about 0.0065% of the time.
Age?
Perpetually 31 going on 17.Location?
Nash-vegas, baby! Even though I lived in the 'Burgh for most of my life (go Steelers!), I have always been a Southerner in my mind. Bless your heart. Which, by the way, if anyone in the South ever says "bless your heart" to you, you should probably be a little offended. Just so ya know.Sign?
I don't really believe in that stuff, but I am a Leo (rawr!). Just 'cuz it's fun to pretend to be a lion -- ask any two year old.Status?
Married to MrDrama. I changed my residency match list after 6 weeks of dating him. One of those months we were being separated by 2 continents and the Atlantic Ocean. We were engaged 6 months after we met and all my friends thought I had lost my ever-lovin' mind. When you know, you know. He's super smart. And he knows how to fix anything. And he washes the dishes. Babe, you're the yin to my yang, the butter to my mashed potatoes, the Peaches to my Herb (I have no idea who they are, it just sounded right. Go with it). He's a keeper.
Just for the sake of doing it again, rawr! He's hawt.
Mother to the Kid. She is 2 going on 17. Which makes for some interesting conversations in our house.
No, you stop it!
You stop!
No, you stop!...
You...
Smarter than both of her parents put together and the only person who makes me simultaneously want to smooch her to pieces and to have the speed dial for 1.800.GYPSIES (just in case).
What do you like to blog about?
Being in medicine, I really can't blog that much about work (I kinda like my job), so I have to keep things very generic and non-identifying. Blah. Because I could tell you some stories...As a result, I tend to blog about my other loves. In no particular order...
Family and Friends.
Food + Entertaining.
Faith.
Clothes (mostly my neverending love for all things J. Crew).
Giveaways.
Medicine.
Home + Decor.
Crafts.
Travel.
If you couldn't already tell, I have a hundred million interests (I didn't even include music or dance) and one lifetime is not enough for them all, but I will keep trying!
What is your favorite punctuation mark?
You will see an overabundance of ellipses, parentheses, exclamation points and italics on this blog. English majors turn away. I am a bit of a grammar and spelling nerd, but I will have typos on my blog all the time, go figure. BTW, if you see a grammar mistake/typo, PLEASE email me so I won't be horribly embarrassed.What's with the J.Crew obsession?
I fell in love with the Crew back when they were using the cast of Dawson's Creek to advertise for them. I briefly worked for them in college and I have come to appreciate their (generally) high level of quality and consistent sizing and customer service. I still have a merino wool sweater dress from them that I have worn since college (and even wore it when I was pregnant) and it still looks great.How do you have time to do so much stuff with a full time job?
I have an awesome husband who is a neat freak, I don't mind messes and I'm learning how to say no. It probably helps that I only have one kid (so far) and I have the attention span of a hummingbird and am extremely efficient. I am the consummate multi-tasker. Probably subclinical ADHD. Most definitely.What kind of camera do you use?
I use a Nikon D60 for most of the nice looking pictures/food pics. I tell everyone that it was the best birthday present ever (thanks, babe!). That said, I think I use about 2 settings on the camera because it is smarter than me. My other camera is my Motorola Droid phone's camera. I used to have an old school 5.0 MP Canon Elph which I loved, but I gave it away. I have a broken Sony Cybershot sitting on my dining room table that I can't find the Best Buy receipt for and I keep hoping that my Jedi mind powers will magically fix.
