Ratlanta

i'm a little slow to remember that i've now begun my blog and must write in it. more often than once a week! ha! but here i am in the lab on a friday night at 6:35 pm--in the midst of a three hour incubation before harvesting cells...and was scrolling around reading blogs when i suddenly remembered my poor forgotten orphan of a blog (i'm tellin' ya, it doesn't take me long these days to forget about something)...

well, last weekend we hit atlanta (decatur) to visit a dear friend with whom i went to grad school--she finished around the same time as me (in the same basic medical sciences PhD program) and is now doing her post-doc at emory university...her name is XXXX...but her initals are RAT, so i love that we can say we visited Ratlanta. hee. get it.? wow, we are clever. it was good times---even though the visit was too short. a little stone mountain (whew! outta shape!)..., farmers' market (Dekalb--apparently pronounced deCAB, although i beg to argue with the locals, i think they are all just massacring the proper pronunciation, but what do i know?)... and yea, we hit IKEA. i needed stuff. Ikea stuff. well, you know, a chair for the sewing room (*which i have yet to put together, since i haven't had time, and seeing as i am here now, probably won't do until who knows when)...

hmmm. now, i want to post photos--but what is the etiquette for this? i know i can post my own...but what of others? in science, we reference---in the blog world, it appears that photos are referenced, but not very well. anyone out there? if so, help. i wanna put some lovely findings from my eclectic blog readings...

speaking of which...tonight i am supposed to go to a party. it's going to be late by the time i am ready---i have to stop to get a gift (it's a bday party, for someone i don't know all that well, but would like to become better friends)---and my better half has to work...so i will be on my own. i just don't know if i want to go--i also have to get up early tomorrow...but i would like to put on some fancy clothes---just since i have been a bum lately---even in Ratlanta...we hiked and cooked at the house---it was perfect, but i did bring a bunch of fancy clothes that i didn't even get to wear :(

well, my incubation is going to be up soon...so i should prepare (ah the joys of a post-doc, haha--no, really, i love it)...

Happy Friday!
