Whoa, Mama

A little update on the pregnancy…
Everything is still going well! I don’t have gestational diabetes, nor am I anemic. Yay! I joked to the doctor that it must be all the hamburgers I’ve been eating, and she sternly said “that’s not the course of action I recommend for anemia.” KIDDING, Doc. Then she told me [...]

Did Pilgrams Eat Lobster?

For the first time ever, Larry and I decided not to go to Indiana to spend Thanksgiving with our family. Instead, to save money and vacation days, we stayed in DC and had our own little private Thanksgiving. We contemplated going to a restaurant, but decided on something even better: lobster. (I’m not a huge [...]

Chicago, in fashion, the soft drinks, expansion

Guess where I am this week?

Chicago!
I spent the weekend in the city with my mom, grandma and aunt, where we ate delicious food and saw Wicked on Saturday afternoon. Wicked was awesome–and I did not even fall asleep. Usually when I see a musical I get drowsy and my head bobs at least once. I [...]

Huong Viet at Eden Center

My mom is in town for a few days (not really to visit but to help my uncle and cousin while my aunt is in the hospital recovering from brain surgery [!!!]). I dropped her off at my uncle’s house this afternoon, but before we parted Larry and I took her to Eden Center for [...]

Taste of Bethesda

I’ve lived in Bethesda for four years, and today I finally made it to the annual Taste of Bethesda. It’s sad that I’ve never been before, because it is literally right outside my door. With the apartment windows open, scents of grilled meat waft into the apartment, and I can hear the bands playing Cream [...]

Best Picture Ever

I had an opportunity to photograph a newborn baby a week ago. It was definitely a learning experience, and I realized that I need better lighting solutions when I take portraits. (I’m buying a flash and diffuser very soon!) It was also very exciting to be around such a little baby! She was so cute, [...]

Something to Add to My Resume

Another one of my pictures was used in an online article–this time in the Wall Street Journal. Impressive, non?
They used this picture in an article titled Lonely Hearts Have Telltale Genes, which discusses the genetic link between chronic inflammation and loneliness.

Cool.

This day is Bananas

I have most of my photos on Flickr under a Creative Commons license, which means that I give permission for anyone to copy, distribute, perform, or use my work, so long as they give me credit. I figure that since I’m not selling my pictures, or making any money on them in any way, I [...]

Restaurant Week: PS7’s

Last night Larry and I met some of my former coworkers and dear friends at PS7’s for RESTAURANT WEEK. It’s one of my favorite weeks of the year, besides my birthday week and the week of Christmas. Some of D.C.’s finest restaurants offer three course dinners for only $30.07. It’s a great deal, considering that [...]

How to Spend a Rainy Afternoon in Bethesda

Larry and I went to see Sunshine this afternoon at the Bethesda Landmark Row cinema. We walked there (only a 20-25 minute walk), even though it was extremely humid and it looked like it was going to rain. And because someone said it would be “an adventure.” I was already sick of walking in muggy, [...]
